DALLAS, OREGON, October 2C, 1906 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. ONE GREAT NEED. In all the proposed legislation to come before the Oregon lawmakers for consideration next winter, the sub ject of 6tate regulation and control of fire insurance companies has not been mentioned. The Observeii believes that the Dassacre of a wise and wholesome insurance law is paramount in im portance to any measure that has yet been proposed. Certain it is that such a law is of vital interest to the business interests of the state and would be warmly welcomed by the whole people, The insurance companies have been permitted to pursue their arbitrary methods all these years without inter ference, and, as a result, the owners of all classes of property find it neces sary to pay the rates demanded by the highbinder combination known as the Board of Underwriters of the Pacific, or co without insurance. The state has never lifted its hand in de fenso of the struggling property owner, but has Riven the insurance companies a free hand in carrying on their game of extortion. The Are insurance combination the most grinding monoply operatin in Oregon today. It reaches all classes of people, and levie tribute on rich and poor alike. It is squeezing every dollar it can get from the people, and .is paying the state absolutely nothing in return. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are wrung from the people annually toenrich Eastern and foreign capitalists, and no effort is made to stay th is greed, Every property-owner is absolutely at the mercy of this gigantic combination whose rapacity knows no bounds. This buiden should be lifted, and the time to lift it is at hand. Let the lawmakers of Oregon, at their coming session, enact a law prohibiting these combinations and giving the state the power to regulate and control insur ance rates, and thus prove themselves the friends of the people. Further de lay will be inexcusable. The business men of Oregon cannot stand many more raises in rates like the arbitrary increase of 25 per cent made just after the San Francisco disaster.

The day when a man can put in a stock of goods and sit down and wait for business Is past. He has to hustle for it and advertise his goods to lot people know that ho has what they want. Successful merchants build up their business by systematic and judicious advertising. They ad vertise at all seasons of the year. When business quiets down a trifle, they advertise a little more and in this way keep tilings moving all the time. Polk county Is one of the enter prising counties of Oregon. Her citi zens are thoroughly awake to the fact that hustle and advertising will bring good results, and they are faithfully performing their duty In this respect. Not long ago Polk held a most suc cessful school fair and now it Is pro posed to hold a Fruit Fair, to be followed later by a Stock Show. It Is such enterprise as this that builds grand communities.
