rrMl CAL'SK OF CLEAXL1NF.SS AXI) PrXKXCY has won ir
I Portland. The Ministers' association in that city has gune on record
in support of Mayor Allve's efforts "to suppress indecent films and
their more indecent advertising through the daily press and on the billboard
Then the advertisinu manai.Tr of the Portland papers notified the theatre men
that their advertisements must conform to the standard set by the ministers'
resolution, and in the !xt few days a few of the more progressive and far
sihtcd moving picture houes in that city have publically declared that only
decent films would be show n in their places.
And, mind you, all this has come despite the stand for advertised female
legs and commercialized hips taken by the Oregon City Courier.
Almost two weckj ago, before the matter had been settled in Portland,
the Enterprise editorially observed that certain pictures being shown in Port
land, were indecent, and that it was for the best interests of all concerned to
have them barred. The Courier declaring itself in favor of making as public
as possible the disgusting scandal on which these unwholesome films are baed
and approv ing these screen "dramas" which have for their sole draw ing power
the showing of the human form clad only in the thinnest and most suggestive
clothing, defended this class of pictures.
Lacking in argument, common sense and ordinary decency, the Courier,
in presenting it case, resorted to harangue and abuse. But what else have the
thinking class of people of this county learned to expect from that sheet?
The Enterprise does not now and never has opposed what the Courier
terms "education of the most liberal variety" in the public schools and in the
home. But the Enterprise does plead, and the position now taken by the
Portland Ministers' association, the Portland daily press and the most progres
sive moving picture houses in that city confirms our views, that the sacrcdness
of the human form should not be commercialized in films based on indescent
plots.
And, again on another page, the Courier says: "It may be remarked that
the Oregonian and the Journal, in Portland, have a nice healthy amount of
movie ads; but the Telegram hasn't. And it is the Telegram that is seeing
such awful things on the screens. From which it may be reasonable to con
clude that some people, like some newspapers, find fault with the movies chief
ly as a matter of advertising."
And again, the Courier is mistaken. The same week that paper prints
this outburst, the Oregonian and the Journal, the papers the Courier says are
perfectly content with these indecent films because they profit thereby, of
their own will and accord, banish these ads of a questionable type from their
pages and adopt a resolution passed by the Ministerial association as their
uide.
There is only one explanation. The Courier judges the morals of other
publications as its own. Probably, confronted with the same conditions, the
Courier would he silent as long as it profited by silence, and yell if it cost the
Courier bank account nothing.
it develop the towns in which their cutimrr live.
It i no more than a farmer, a patron of one of these uuu!i dinouiitcd
mail order house, uho hat found a method whereby the In .me uietih.mt .an
i ruin hi trade and tale buines away from the out of town intitutiom. Hit
letter, printed in the Independence Entetprisr, follow:
"If the mail order house get Jl.tNII out of thi vicinity r.uh month, that
belong to the home merchants, the fault is with the home ni-:il..iiit entirciv.
The mail ordrr house advertise and give u price oil rri)thuig the) oiler f ' t
'ale. They'll tell u what they have and what they want for it. t .inire we
t.et staled once in awhile, and if we do we can try vinie other hue. Mot
of the home merchant who advertise at all don't quote price.. They neglect
to tell us what we want to know price. Of course we cm go to the t.ne
and ask the price of thi article and that, but vim knvv how it is one doesn't
know so well what he want to buy when he get in a stoie a when he i at
home. And there is where the mail order house make their hit. They send
their advertising matter into our home and we read it when we haven't any
thing else to do and every member of the family usually finds something that
he or some other member of the family want, and many order are nude up
and sent out at just such time.
Right here is where the home merchant fall dttwn. If he talked up
thi business in our home the same as the mail order liou do, the people
would be in to see him the next time they came to town, and in many caw
extra trip would be made to get things at once that we wanted when they
were brought to our attention.
The home merchant can save the expense of getting out a catalog. We
people read the home paper more carefully than we do a catalog, and if the
merchant want to talk business with us, let him put his talk in the home
papers, and put it in so we know he mean business. The home merchant,
nine times out of ten, sells his goods as cheap is the niait order hour, anil I
believe on many thing he is much cheaper, but how are we to know if he does
not tell us about it?
A merchant must not think that even his best customer know his good
so well that they can tell what he has without being told.
It is none of my business how the home merchant runs his business, but
I don't ike to see these roasts in the paper all the time about u fellows who
get a little stuff shipped in once in awhile, and never anything said on the
ther side. There are always two side to a question, and I have given you
. . . . ..
mine, it it ts worm anvtning to you, you can take it.

monies received from motor vehicle
and chauffeur licenses for 1915. The
total receipts amounted to $108,8Sl...O.
Of this amount $S7,2.'!0.08, or 80 1-10
per cent of the total receipts, was re
turned to the counties; $8,830.38 wan
paid for license plates and chauffeur
badges; $7,127.80 for clerical serv
