A DOLLAR BILL
•
Not so very long ago, some enterprising men in
a city situated similar to Ashland decided to try an
experiment. They wanted to find out just how far
around a dollar bill would go, in their city, how
much merchandise it would purchase, and how many
people would be benefited by it, within a given length
of time. . ,
Consequently a slip of paper was pasted to a bill,
with instructions typed thereon for everyone who
' used the money to note just what transaction took
place in which it played a part. Memory does not
recall the exact data on the bill after it had been in
circulation for a week, b u t’in a general way it is a
known fact that it Visited practically every store in
the city, that it purchased many different times, food
for the family, that it played its part in helping settle
the winter coal,bUl..afc least twice, that the druggist
name appeared three different times on tbp slip of
paj>er, and the local doctor had received it once in
payment of a doctor bill and in turn had used it to
help defray his dues to the Chamber of Commerce.
The number of people who had used the bill in that
one city was surprising, the merchandise that it hod
purchased in a very short time would have kept a
good sized family supplied for weeks, and the bill
might still today be in circulation in that city had it
not had the misfortune to fall into the hands of one
who was so lacking in civic pride that he preferred
to do his shopping elsewhere than the city where he
earned is living.
The bill fell into the hands of a furniture dealer
in a neighboring city, the slip of paper with its many
inscriptions w’as still attached. This dealer kept the
hill but tore off the historical slip and mailed it to
the chamber of commerce secretary, with a note of
his own on the bottom which read something like this:
“ Your--------money just received (and in the blank
space he filled in the name of the town from which he
received it), it is such money as this that makes it
possible for us to carry such large stocks, to drive a
fine car, and to assist in building up our community
at your expense. We appreciate your assistance.”
POLITICAL FIRES STARTED
State politics in Ashland was revived and fires
were kindled under the political pot yesterday when
Fred Steiwer, republican nominee for the United
States senate, spent a few hours visiting local people,
and was the guest of honor at the Kiwanis club lunch
eon. Mr. Steiw er’s visit here while brief, was im
pressive. Impressive in the sense that those who were
fortunate enough to hear him at the noon luncheon
or to have met him afterwards, should have a feeling
of confidence that for once at least, the direct primary
had brought to the Oregon voters an opportunity to
place in the United States senate a man well qualified
for the position.
The talk he gave to the Kiwanis club should
prove to be the clarion call of a new awakening for
Oregon people. The wrongs that this state has suf
fered, the general laxity of the people, in allowing
the government to have full sway over its public
lands, have been the cause of Oregon “ playing sec
ond fiddle” to her sister states on the north and
south. While he did not offer any specific remedy for
this gross injustice, due to the fact that his speech
was not to be of a political nature, the inference was
plain, th at this state needed national representation
abjg enough to realize that Oregon had been made to
suffer unjustly because of its generosity when ad
m itted as a state, and strong enough politically to
attem pt to overoome in some way the results of giv
ing away our natural heritage, th at great public do
main, to the Federal government, and receiving in
return a paltry five per cent on the proceeds of any
sales th at were made.
We believe that he is qualified to see that Oregon,
as he so well stated “ should not have to go before the
federal government on her bended knee, in the request
for that which is rightfully hers, but should be con
sidered as the favored son, and should have every
right to stand up and demand some returns for the
great material l»enfit she has rendered, in being the
only state to turn over completely to our government
th at which was her natural heritage.”
We further believe, th at the people of Ashland,
when the opporutnity comes for them to place their
stam p of approval or disapproval upon Fred Steiwer,
th a t they will recognize in him the many qualifica
tions which admirably fit him for the position which
he seeks, and will give him the splendid majority at
the polls, which he so richly deserves.
Football’s here. We heard a quarterback tele
phoning and he scared central calling the signals.
Every man is entitled to a living wage, but this
doesn ’t seem to apply to the women.

There were three moth-eaten old

There was an old cradle. The
rocking-horse liked the cradle bet-

But even the cradle wasn’t in the
same class with the rocking-horse.
The rocking-horse had been the
companion of children. The cradle
knew about them as babies. The
cradle wasn’t grown-up enough to
talk to the rocking-horse.
The cradle would remember such
things as, “Goo, goo, goo," and
would be so proud of Itself when it
remembered how ‘‘ma-ma,” .m t
“dadda" were said. Now that, as
you can see, was no sort of conver
