There was St. Helens, which had pushed on past a quota of $89,000 to $143,000. Word came early yesterday from Chairman C. E. Morton that the citizens proposed to pledge an addi tional $25,000 just for good measure, and as a response to Secretary Mc Adoo'i appeal. Before S o'clock state headquarters was thrilled with the messaxe that St. Helens had duplicated its original quota during the day, sub scribing for $S9,000 more bonds.

It was estimated last night that th number of Portland subscribers to the fourth loan will reach 103.000. To the third loan there were but $2,000 sub scribers.

Mr. Funk is also iaid to have put the question to City Commissioner Barbur, who had been Auditor, and Mr. Barbur explained that he had followed the practice. One report is that Mr. Baines ap peared ready to file a few minutes be fore 6 o'clock, but on being informed that the office would be open until midnight, he' departed to gather more names for his petition.

BcLBdwy aid Pack The Question Uncle Sam Is Trying to Decide for "Big Business" Will Ultimately Affect All Businesses I I am not going to attempt to offer the solution to a I problem which has engaged the attention of the ablest men in the National Council Chamber, but I venture the opinion I that when the question is decided there will be fewer people I "getting rich quick" and more people "getting what is com- ing to them." Prosperity depends upon the free circulation of money there can be no circulation unless EVERYONE is MAKING I A PROFIT from his labors. J No profit means no business, UNJUST PROFITS mean i restriction of business, because if one set of men take MORE THAN IS RIGHT, another set is forced to take LESS than ! is right. ! Profit should be a fair percentage above the cost of com modities plus the cost of doing business. It is often easier to charge "graft" than to prove it ; and many people who are quite sure their own profits are proper, are prone to condemn identical methods in another concern. I hold it is NOT PROPER for a dentist to charge as an "expense of doing business," reputation, social prestige or plain greed. To be explicit, I claim it is EXCESSIVE PROFIT when any dentist charges $20 for a gold crown in no way superior in material or workmanship to the crowns I furnish my patients for $5.00. , J It is your privilege, of course, to save the difference in cost, and thousands of people do, as evidenced by the ever- jj increasing practice this office enjoys. H In the . final-reckoning, however, the Government (and that means the American people) are going to DEMAND a that every business, every trade, every profession, STRIVE FOR COMPETENCE, EQUIP THEMSELVES TO COM- PETE AND BE ABLE AND WILLING TO GIVE ' A DOLLAR'S WORTH FOR A DOLLAR. g When this condition has been brought about it will be J easy to fix percentage which will represent a proper profit. 15-Year Written Guarantee OPEN NIGHTS 5 Electro Painless Dentists f id U m. m m IN THE TWO-STORY BUILDING Corner Sixth and Washington Sts., Portland, Or. m HI M HII1IH811HIIIII1I1 IIIUIUIIIIUInBI ...
