In the town ot Tribulation
Wherefore should you stay,
When you see the country smilin'
Uke she's happy on the wny?
Tho same sun makes a pHthway "
ThroiiRh the cloud-draped sky ot gray.
An' the hills are cumin' ont to meet the morula'!
In the ton n vrf Tribulation
They are feelln' niishty low;
Though minutes still mean millions '
They are wish in' 'em to go:
But yonder where the hills shine5
Hear the merry bugles "Wow, -When
the hosts are cumin' out to meet the moruln'i
The town of Trfoulation
Kalse around it high a wall!
Hide It from the travelers
That have heard the summits call!
But If there you still would linger, ,
Stake It off an' take it all.
An' we ll walk the brighter highway to the murnln'!

THIS is assuredly a time for caution in business but it is no
time for pessimism. We are going through a readjust
ment period, yet business conditions are fundamentally
sound and there should, be full prosperity ahead. The facts
justuy tne view and some of these facts as compiled by "Com
merce and Finance" are as follows:
The United States has only 6 per cent of the population of
.uts wona ana oniy y per cent of the land?
The United States is the richest country in the world?
The bank deposits in the United States pxpppH hv hillinna
the combined bank deposits of the whole world outside of this
country!
We produce 24 per cent of the world's wheat supply, and
of all the cotton, 60 per cent,
of all the corn, 75 per cent,
of all the cattle, 27 per cent,
of all the hogs, 40 per cent,
of all the dairy products, 25 per cent,
of all the iron and steel, 40 per cent, '
of all the gold, 20 per cent,
of all the silver, 40 per cent. i
of all the coal, 52 per cent,
of all the copper, 60 per cent,
of all the oil, 66 per cent,
of all the automobiles, 85 per cent,
That is to say, of the total products of the globe, we con
tribute one-quarter (25 per cent) of the agricultural supplies

One-third (34 per cent) of the manufactured goods.
Before the war we owed other nations $5,000,000,000. We
have not only paid this dept. but foreign nations now owe us
$10,000,000,000, and we hold the largest gold reserves of any
nation in the world.
Under such conditions as these, how can anyone feel doleful
ever the business future of this country?
EVERY SHIP NEEDS AN ANCHOR - "
THE firm of Morris Bros, did not do a banking business
and it was not regulated either by the state or national
government The business of the firm was to buy and
sell bonds. The facts thus far known indicate that the trouble
in which the concern is involved was due to defects entirely
within the organization. The record of John L. Etheride-e shows
lie has been an organizer and salesman of almost phenomenal
ability. He seems to have been in sole charge of the company.
- hat was a dangerous situation for it did not produce a balanced
organization. There was abundant motive power but the busi
ness craft lacked an anchor for use in times of need and a helms
man whose business it should have been to sr.par rlpnn nf
dangers. Such an organization is likely to face a smash even
without dishonesty. In every concern of this sort there is a need
somewhere of hard headed business management that will in
sure safety for owners and patrons., Morris Bros, seems to have
lacked this essential element in its makeup and on top of that
was subject to the whim of a man who is charged with lacking
in common business honesty. In view of the Etheridge record,
which was known, there is room for amazement that he was left
alone for so long in a position where he could play fast and loose
with Buech big stakes. .
Through the development of a multiplex telegraph printing
machine by the Western Union Co. four messages were transmit
ted last week over one wire simultaneously from New York to
Seattle. This is said to have been the first time such service
has been provided on a transcontinental wire. Another interest
ing invention, which it is claimed will be ready during the com
ing year, is the teletype, a machine whereby pony press clients
of press services may receive reports direct in their offices. The
' reports will come on a tape similar to the ticker tape and will
permit of larger reports than in the past.

The Telephone Company has asked its patrons in Oregon r to pay
more for their telephone service. It has pjaced the facts and ffgures of
the situation before the Public Service Commission for their investiga
tion and verification. The increases will not amount to much to indivi
dual subscribers, but the aggregate will permit the Company to properly
maintain and develop its service. '
s We have shown the Commission that we are operating at a loss. Our
expenses are greater than our earnings. The owners of the property are
receiving nothing from their Oregon investment and the interest due on
debts which should properly be borne by the Oregon properties are not be
ing paid from Oregon receipts. -
At the hearing before the Public Service Commission not a fact or
figure presented by the Company was disputed or disproved. The only
material contention. made was that increases were perhaps inopportune in
view of the apparent decline in general commodity prices.
The Company is asking for a reasonable return upon its existing in
vestment, without regard to the uncertainties of the future. The Com
pany files periodical reports of its operations with public authorities and
. its future investments will be the subject of constant consideration and. -future
adjustments, if necessary.
. Salaries and wages make up 72 per cent of our current expenses. Wc
'hope they will not be Reduced and do not think they should be.
In the five years 1916-1920 inclusive, we nave increased the wages of
our plant people $307,000.00. Our traffic (operating) employees $681,

Efficient and contented employ ees mean good service. It is their
