NOMINATE CANDIDATES J ON PEOPLES’ TICKET Why The Redmond Spokesman hus circulation. The answer is simply this: The paper prints the local news (»f the city gives to its readers the happenings from week to week, and that is what they want in a local paper. Each week The Spokesman is adding from five to a dozen names on its subscription list. And these names come from all over. In the city, in the county and from outside territory. The people want to read of what is doing in Redmond, the most widely advertised and best city in Central Oregon. And they find out what they want in the columns of The Spokesman. Circulation is what makes a newspaper valuable to the adver tiser. and in that respect The Spokesman is valuable alike to the local advertiser as well as the advertiser who has something to sell and wants to reach people outside of the city and county. You will make no mistake in subscribing for The Spokesman if you want all the news of Red mond, and advertisers will make no mistake in using the columns of the paper if they want to reach the buying public.

That ¡sail right as far as it goes. But when a business house pays for the privilege of doing business it necessarily follows that the person who pays for the privilege expects some protection Mrs. Harper of Laidlaw, was in his business from competing in Redmond Tuesday. people who do not pay the city a Do your Xmas shopping early. cent, or who have no property interests in the city. The meat markets of the city pay an annual license of $20. pay able quarterly in advance. Since the passage of the ordin ance itinerent peddlers of meat have been coming to the city and peddling their wares around from house to house to the detriment of the trade of the meat markets that the city has collected money from. So far as The Spokesman can learn these peddlers do not pay the city a cent of license, although section 18 of the ordinance ex pressly provides that they should pay a license fee of $3.00 a day. The meat market proprietors The mission of our advertisements is to tell you our store news. It is an of the city are indignant at the economical method by which we can talk to ALL the people at once. How way this matter has been allowed ever, our advertising: will not he effective, will not bring visitors and cus to be carried on by the city, and tomers to the store, unless it is believed. say if they cannot be protected in their business they do not pro Therefore, as a sensible business proposition, it behooves us to state only pose to pay out good money for the truth about our store and merchandise. the privilege of doing business In adhering to this principle, we have a right to expect that our printed and have the city let any Tom. announcements will be believed—believed implicitly—and we promise you Dick and Harry come in and take their trade away from them, here never to publish an untruth, no matter how great the temptation may without complying with the terms be for us to meet the advertisements of other stores. of the ordinance. Another abuse that should be stopped: Fake advertising schemes that do not do a cent’s worth of good to the advertiser, and takes money out of the city. The printing offices pay an annual license of $10 per annum, but any one can come into Red mond and spring any old kind of a fake advertising scheme, with out paying a cent of license, make a good piece of money from the business men by their glib talk and get out of town, while the legitimate printing houses that print legitimate advertising are the ones to suffer in the end. For after a business man has been bitten on a fake scheme for a good sum he feels poor and does not take kindly to any kind of advertising, even though he knows it will benefit him. These fakirs should be compelled to pay a good big license. The business men in all lines should have protection when they pay for it. t the election held Tuesday electing municipal officers for coming two years, the whole Citizens* Ticket was elected. ther ticket was in field head- ad by J.
