Governor West is having his
hands full of business these
drtvs. with more in siirht. He
has developed more business for
the governor's olhce than any
other governor has yet done
Still ho seems to enjoy it.
1
Harry Thaw has been declared
sane by experts. Now if he be
given his freedom, it would be
agreeable to many people, who
believe ho was partially justified
in the killing of White, and that
he has sulTcred enough for his
crime. Many worse criminals
have been pardoned in this
country.
It'is undesrtood that the county
commissioners had given the
city council assurance that
a water hydrant was placet
within easy access of the ferry
boat that tying the vessel up on
Sunday for the purpose of clean
ing the boilers would be done
away with. It is also tinder
stood that the hydrant has been
duly installed, but still the boat
s off duty on certain Sundays
At least such was the case last
Sunday. If tying up the ferry
boat on Sundays could be avoid
ed it would bo highly appreciate!
by the traveling public. The
attention of the county author!
ties should again bo called to the
matter.
Much ado has been made in
the recent past about loan sharks
and the outrageous interest
charged ny mem. Hut yet, is
Multnomah county any better
than the sharks when it comes
to collecting taxes? The penalty
for nonpayment is surely out
ragcous, and the man whom
misfortune has overtaken, who
finds it impossible to accumulate
enough money to pay his taxes
in one lump, is the man whom
the new and in a way vicious tax
law burdens most. No one
would seriously object to a
reasonable penalty for delayed
payments, but the exorbitant and
uncalled for rate of Multnomah
county is almost disgraceful.
Expecting a vast number of
tourists and immigrants to come
to the Pacific Coast by way of.
Oregon during 1015, the cities
of Eastern Oregon are already
making preparations to do their
share in taking care of the
visitors and now settlers. Tom
Richardson, representing the
Portland Commercial Club,
making a tour of that part of
the stato urging the people in
each community to unite in an
effort to take advantage of an
unusual opportunity to secure
largo additions to population and
wealth. He expects to make
addresses, urging organization
and cooperation, in practically
every city and town in that part
of the state.
Why it is Difficult
A retail dealer at Hanior gives
the following reasons why it is
is diHicult to sell Oregon made
goods:
The fact has been decidedly
proven that it is absolutely nec
cssary for dealers in the small
towns to advertise in their home
papers, moving picture theatres,
etc., in order to soil their goods
and meet competition in the way
of city department stores, cata
log houses, etc.
It has also been proven, in
most cases, by bitter experience,
that the most difficult and dis
couraging part of retail business,
meaning mo small retailer, is
advertising of merchandise, and
I can safely say that 1 am voic
ing tho opinions of 75 per cent
of tho dealers of Orogon. Tho
reasons that aro the cause of this
condition aro many, and as
follows:
First and most important, the
lucK ot interest of tho Oregon
manufacturers in advertising
their products, such as turnish
ing us with electrotype cuts, ad
vertising matter, etc This is a
very serious matter for tho rea
son that the Eastern mami
facturers will furnish us with
an tne advertising matter we
can possibly use, and here of
late we can buy in the East and
lay the goods down here as cheap
if not cheaper than we can get
the same article from our home
manuiacturers. And now conies
tho Panama Canal with cheaper
freight rates. Somethings has
got to bo done in the way of
educating the Oregon manu
facturers up to the standard of
their Eastern brothers. We are
appealed to every day to patron
ize our home manufacturers.
But I would ask: What en
couragement do they give us to
ad in placing their merchandise
before tho public?
