COLONEL MITCHEXIj
Ara new Item, Colonel Mitchell'
conviction And .sentence . by , the
court partial bejore which he has
been on trial for Insubordination Is
not worth the place given It on the
front, page. - by practically .every
newspaper, In'Amerlca. Tho front
pago ia supposed 'to be reserved for
startling ' news, and Colonel Mit
chell's fate Is not new, at all. for it
has been confidently expected by
everyone.
When an Individual unit in the
military system so far forgets him
self as to criticise the system itself,
he Is done for. The underlying
theory of military organization Is
that, a superior can do no wrong,
and according to this theory the
inferior who criticises a superior
has committed a heinous sin and
must be punished. The merit of
are times whon' S0'mlle sn hour V
a reckless speed and other time
when a speed of 40 miles Is not
dangerous. It is control ot the car
that matters, and It ought to bo
possible to work out a system of
regulating of speed that would b
flexible, enough to take car of
varying conditions ot traffic.
The investigation of F. C. Dram.
well by the stato banking tioard
brought out day before yesterday
the vague and indifferent statement
that "somewhere in Oregon" a
bank Is In trouble.. As a result of
this hasy story, every community In
the state Is wondering if its finan
cial Institutions are sound. When
an Individual spreads a false rumor
about a bank he gets Into trouble.
Apparently It Is different In thn

Senator Col. Bleas wants an In
vestigation of the use of liquor at
foreign embassies in Washington.
It might not be a bad Idea It at the
same time they would investigate
its use by senators and representa
tives.
The mayor ot a town in Denmark
proposes to set the hour tor the
sun to set. He has confidence in
himself, all right, but can he set
the hour for his son to rise and get
away with It?

AS TO SPEED LOUTS
The Washington legislature haa
roceived and is considering a bill to
raise the speed limit on the high
way from 30 mile an .hour to IS.
. The bill, incidentally, embodies the
excellent feature of the existing
Oregon law which establishes a
maximum limit In cities and towns
All those who travel beyond the
boundaries of Oregon will - hopa
that Washington, along with other
states, adopts this excellent plan.
Nothing can be more annoying to
tho tourist and In these days we
are all potential tourists than a
speed limit that varies in every
town entered.
As to the higher speed limit, it in
this writer's Judgment that Wash
ington should adopt it and hat
(Oregon at the rirtit-:tpportunity
lehould 'follow th lead 'of ' Wash
'ingtoh and California.' Thirty-five
miles an hour Is not an excessive
spied as modern roads and modern
machlnoa go. ' ' ,
There la much complaint of dis
regard ot traffic laws, and the com
plaint la justified. People are la.
mentably careless In this regard.
But a epoed limit ot SO mlloa an
hour la provocative of disregard of
law. Present day automobiles ara
built to travel much faster than
that, and common aonse tells the
driver that on an open road 80
miles an hour is no more dangerous
than 80. So he la tempted to break
the law, and when lie break it In
one way other .violations come
easier.

The Origin and Oper
ation ofSkaggs
Stores
This la nn age of frank spi'ttlilng
mid open dealing both socliilly
nnd rilniiiiert'lally, Wo are nccus
louied nowaday to tlmeit calmly lo
the free dlctiastii of aoi-lul sub
jects uhlt'lt only a few years ago
were taboo. Likewise, biislueaa
' men of today am hei-iimlitg more
und itiiiro nt'cuiittiiiit'd to taking the
public Into their confident' and III
rei-iigulilun ot a public rulrmtiuled
mx iiiiiny of the things which
were formerly regarded as "biisl
neHS secrets" are now freely mndo
ciiiniiiun property In order Hint tho
whole bualtiess structure may ben
efit and the problem of econoiiilctil
distribution be brought that inui-h
ueiirer lo Its final solution. Herein
It I again driiuiniitrateil that s.-tf-IninrnMl
la llm ImaiH nf nil cotiatrue-
tle action, Kor the continued ex
istence nf the prvaent ayatmu of
(ii) dlatrlliiillou Is dependent solely up.
on Us ability to prove to thn pubtlo
that It Ih the moat loult-itl nnd
economical system that Is possible
to devise.
Ilprutisa the welfare of tho Na
tion is Inteparubln from ilia pros
perity and well-being of Its people,
It la the right even the duly of
every responsible t-ltlaen to knuw
something of thn profits which
business organisation, who elect
to deal In tho necessities of life,
tuko III proportion to thn servlco
they render. Therefore, while per
. Imp. a bit unusual. It Is entirety
cunaiatent and proper that cunt-ems
like Skaggs storea should
frankly tell thn public bow much
profit they make and for tho ake
uf unprejudiced coiitparlaou how
much profit other stores make.
In dealing with latlaltrn It U
well tu reitieinber-ln fairness to
nil ronreriied that their value Is
of .normally relative rather than
abaoluie and that frequently then

In Indicate progress or lack of
progro toward a desired end. .
For n number of years the Hu
reau of IliiNltieas itosoareh of the
tlraduat Wchotil of Uualnou Ail
luliilairailon. Harvard Utiivorslty,
has conducted an Intensive survey
and study of the operating ex.
ponies and, prof Its of reinll-arocnry--stores
throughout the nation. The
reaults of this survey have been
compiled and anniysed by expert
statisticians and each year A litii-
leiln Is Issued containing the Infor
mation and ronrltialonn thus ob
tained. It Is Important to remem
ber that these surveys cover the
entlro country nnd every ort of
grocery store. They tm-ludo rash
stores as well as credit stores,
stores In small towns nnd large,
cities and slnres which rater to
either rush or credit trade doing
about an equal amount of both
kinds of bualneas. Therefore, In
making comparlaons, Hkugit stores
, nro compared to both cash and
credit stores throughout tho coun
try. The figures for 1JSS, compiled
by this bureau, showed 471 stores
reporting and that their average
grovs profit was 19.1 per cent ot
sales. They turned their stocks an
average of 10 limes a year. For
tho same period tho average gross
profit in Hkuggs stores was 18.09
a fraction over 18 per cent nnd the
stocks wore turned 16 tunes a year,
showing unsaying to tho publlo of
more than 81 per cent of gross
profits or ALMOST A THIRD.
For 19S4 with 645 stores of all
rlunn-K reporting the sales aver
aging ill per cent credit and 39 per
cent cash tho avorago gross profit
was shown as 19.8 per cent with nn
.avorago turnover of 10 times, the,
samo as the year befnro. For the '
same period gross profits In Sknggs '
nui-n n.riu i,n ll.T I'Ulll IIIIU Ilia
, trti ,i
niunn wen. uiriimi 111' limes. Ullt,
tho fnce ot these figures, thoso.'
who dealt with Hkaggs stores paid
approximately 30 pur cent less In
gross profits than did thosa who
traded elsewhere. Our 192G sales
will approximate (3n,nnfl,ooo which
with a like proportionate publlo
saving will excoed H.MtO.OOO for
tho ycur.
As was pointed out nbovo the
greatest vnluti of statistics lies In
their ability to Inillcata a trond.
Kkuggs storos uro proud ot tho dol
lars and cciils savings Indicated In

of tho percenlagmi and all that sort ,
