Readers, S and 10c. per line Independence, Oregon, Friday, December 29, 1916 The circulation of most of the Oregon news papers has been decreasing for the past three months due to the high cost of print paper which necessitates a more rigid policy relative to the payment of subscriptions. If the publisherisdoubt ful of a subscriber's willingness to pay, promptly I the name is taken from the books. No publisher can atlord to take chances when the margin of profit has been removed as it has been. For tunately the Monitor shows no decrease in circulation. Many new readers are enrolling each month and they take the places of those we reluctantly are forced to dismiss. While our pruning is not yet completed, we have every reason to believe that in the end, the Monitor will nave more subscribers than when it started to! sever relations with a body of readers who evidently are not disposed to pay for the service given them. Firearms kill more people than all the opium, morphine and alcohol ever manufactured. We restrict or prohibit the use of the drugs but almost anyone can buy a gun and kill somebody with it. Fellows like Martin II. McCall, delirious from imagined wrongs for three 3 ears, are not only permitted to run at large, but upon tender of the price, a weapon is placed in their hands as an in ductive to carry into execution the bloody climax of a brooding, diseased mind. But few persons have any needful use lor a gun. Their sale to Tom, Dick and Harry should be prohibited. For your generous patronage of the past year we thank you and trust that the same pleas ant relations will continue in 1917.
