men of Portland have discovered that
bills are paid more promptly and with
less solicitation. ,
"Business men and employes of busi
ness houses are going to vote for Mayor
Lena in the great majority of cases,"
said a prominent business man today.
"They are not doing It for the sake of
politics or for any other reason than
that the city under the administration
of Mayor Lane is a more profitable
field -for the business man than.it was
in the past or would be under a return
to old conditions. - - . f
"When gambling and slot machines
were .running I . was continually met
with the excuse coming from . those
who owed ma for goods, that the debtor
was unable to pay because of sickness
or other causes, In nine cases ou of
ten ; when I inveatigatea 1 round that
the real cause was the gambling table

"At the present time I employ one
collector where I used to employ three
and this in the face of the- fact that
my business has greatly Increased and
my credit accounts number many more
than formerly. : Not only does one man
do the work formerly done by three-but
he has less trouble in collecting tha ac
counts given to him for collection than
the three men used to have.
"1 am not alone in thla theory," con
cluded the speaker, "but many other
business men of my acquaintance have
come to the same stand and we have
concluded that it la to our Interest to
stand behind the mjn who makes the
