“ TH ERE’S
N O PLACE LIKE H O M E .”
Governor Oswald West, by
official proclamation, has decreed
this day as ‘ ‘Home Industries
Day” with the avowed purpose
o f securing concerted action to
ward increasing demand for Ore­
gon made products.
Governor
Wes( suggests, in his proclama­
tion, that upon this very day
every man and woman, in doing
their shopping, purchase only
made-in-Oregon products.
The
Governor does jiot go far enough,
however. He should preach that
doctrine, not for a day, or two
days, but for all time.
He
should work with the end in view
of ‘ ‘Home Products for Home
People, Now and Forever More.”
A certain very influential trade
publication—one of the best in
the country and with a nation­
wide circulation conducts a de­
partment under the caption,
“ There’s No Place Like.Home.”
And the department is featured
as the most important in the
great publication.
And the de­
partment preaches home patron­
age. Some o f the folk who have
a notion that this Home Patron­
age business is a narrow and
puny affair need to awake to a
realization of its importance'fand
its power, Ours is a democratic
country, and as a people we are
opposed to centralization of
power in politics, religion or
business. This Home Patronage
theory is purely democratic and
is opposed to centralization of
power in business. It is against
the consumer buying from a
catalogue house and destroying
the local retailer.
It is against
the local retailer buying fiom the
out-of-state-and- far-away
job­
bers and manufacturers, while
the local (state) concerns ought
to have the business. It is against
the jobber ignoring the local
manufacturer and producer and
thus crippling local industry and
development. And the part of
the retailer in this “ Keep Your
Dollar in Oregon” movement is
greater "than any other class.
The responsibility o f the retailor
exceeds that o f all others, and
its a big part to play.
It is up
to the retailer to become letter-
perfect in his lines, and educate
both producer and consumer,
middle-man and jobber.
A NEW
REGIM E.
The day of political bossism is
waning. With the new regime
comes responsibilities which can­
not be shirked by citizen or
citizeness. Before long it will be
more disgraceful to admit we
are not politicians than now it is
to be one.
Before long the one
who shirks civic responsibilties
will be treated as a traitor.
And why not ? Is it not treason
to defeat the purpose of liberal
institutions by apathy or oppo­
sition, when a little thought en­
ables any o f us to choose a right
way to act ujxm public ques­
tions ? Is it not treason to de­
feat the will o f majorities by
backroom and secret schemes for
controlling primaries and hand­
ling public officials ? What is
the difference between betray­
ing an army and betraying a
political system striving to make
all men equal, happy and con­
tented ? There ran he none!
Unless it is that the latter is in­
finitely worse than the former.
These statements being true, someone must pay and suffer.
what rules are to be established It seems as if the simple applica­
for the honest weilder o f the bal­ tion o f ordinary honesty and

ideals are to be sound and hon­ lic affairs is the one rule which
