We would like to Inquire, Is this jus

which is established here with the ex
pectation of receiving the patronage
of every business and professional
man of the city and every farmer of
the community? Is It Just ' hat h

that such sorely needed printing as flour !s superior to flour made from
toe may have to give out should tc
sent away because we refuse to furn
ish It at a lower price than that
which carries a mere margin :f prof
it? Is it right that, when we a:v em
ploying in the production of this pa
per, a member of our family who is
more needed at home, he should spur
his duty to a public enterprise that
without question would return him a
profit on an investment in its public
ity, an enterprise without which in
the town he would be one of the first
to complain?
We say it without apology; it Is
mean treatment. It is such selfish
ness and narrow business methods
that have forced the publisher of the
Enterprise to seek patronage of mer
chants in Salem that the town of In
dependence may survive a creditable
newspaper.
This treatment comes at a time
when a few faithful business men are
making overtures to us looking to a
settlement of business that will en
able us to discontinue all outside ad
vertising, of competing firms. So en
couraging is the outlook that it is
hoped that beginning with the first
of the year such arrangements can
be made.
The Enterprise has a right to ex
pect a liberal patronage from firms
and professional men of the city; the
more right because there is no over
burdening of the firms with the one
paper which you have. Not satisfied
with the conditions as they exist,
with the lean patronage accorded the
Enterprise, one prominent business
man has made overtures to a pub
lisher at Silverton with the hope of
having another newspaper established
here.
No other town the size of Indepen
dence in the state of Oregon can
boast of anything like the plant of
the Enterprise No other town of
our population in the state boasts of
an eight page, all home print and
home news such as you have here. It
i onmnlimpntpd far and wide. Let
t.prs are on file
many parts of the state attest'
ing this. And yet some are not sat
isfied.

Campbell was through the Influence
of the commercial club which grew
out of the efforts of the publisher of
this paper. The cannery, which will
eventually be a success and pride to
every resident of Independence, was
brought out by this paper. The la
dies' auxiliary, which was an out
growth of the commercial club, and
which established the free library
and rest room a worthy establish
ment, be it saidwas no less credit
able an achievement. Many other
minor matters have been attempted,
and though many failed, it was due
to lack of public spirit in a few who
lend little support to any patriotic
enterprise. It is in a sense embar
rassing to recount these public moves
in -which the Enterprise has spent a
good deal of money but it is said in
the hope that all will rally to the
support of a paper for Independence
and working for the accruement of
the trade which belongs to the insti-
nrLinnca fir the town.
