A rago Personals “ BUY AT HOME” If all were as consistent in heeding the slogan of “ Buy at Home” as they are enthusiastic in endorsing it when they see their neighbor sending his money away for goods that they themselves would like to sell him, it would be much better for the community, whether that community be Coquille or any other town. The logic of the proposi tion is so absolute as to confute the four and seventy ja r ring sects of department stores and mail order houses. The truth that, the dollar spent a t home may come back to you is so trite that we fail to realize its force; yet that is the crux of the whole matter. The prosperity of the in dividual is builded on the prosperity of the community in which he lives, and the prosperity of the community is made up of the prosperity of its inhabitants. When you buy of the home merchant he, presumably, makes a profit. That profit stays at home and adds to the wealth of your Mr. M a r t e n d a le of K l a m a t h V al own community. When you buy a home product the lev. h a s been visitin g bis d a u g h t e r whole sum involved stays at home and helps to employ M rs. Bert Doyl of A r a g o home labor. It is true that when you send your money Mr. a n d Mrs. A s h e r P o s t a n d away you get something back, but all the profit of the d a u g h t e r Dora of R i v e r t o n , - were transaction goes out of the community—and it doesn t visiting T h o m a s D o n a c a a n d family come back. Further, the people who trade a t home give of this place, M rs P ost b e in g a sis encouragement to the home merchant and enable him to ter of Mr D o n a c a . carry a more complete stock. The more you “ send away” the less profit he finds in trying to supply more than your Pe terson Bros, a re m a k i n g hay simplest needs. The prices that you expect to get in Chi th is week cago are mostly a delusion and a snare, and by the time Ellis Bros, h a v e a b o u t c o m p le te d you pay postage and freight, often getting something th at their b r u s h c o n tr a c t for A n d y R ad- you don’t want, the goods cost you more than they would abaugh. if bought at home. As a concrete example, the Herald A large c ro w d a t t e n d e d t h e pic will put out one instance where a local merchant welcomes nic at S c h r o e d e r ’s o a k g r o v e last a chance to compete with the mail order houses on goods S u n d a y of exactly the same quality.

Prefersbly by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of its accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its control of the revenue of the railways, is in a posi tion to consider and protect the rights and equities of all«the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue necessary to meet the added cost ot operation in case your proposals are found by the ( ominission to be just and reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises, that we jointly request Congress to take such action as may be necessary to enable the Commission to consider and promptly dispose of the* questions involved; or 2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law*’ ( T h e Newlands Act). Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in N e w York, June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike T he Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: E . H . D ye, th e Coquille d y e m an a r ri v e d d o w n to d a y , a n d is v isiting frien d s . T h e only C u rry c o u n t y hoy h e a r d from w h o h a s g o n e to the M e x ic a n f ront is T o m Rilfca, of Agrtess, w h o is the bugler a n d head ol ih e sig n a l c orps of Co B 3 rd r e g i m e n t ol O r e g r n , as it is k n o w n since m u s t e r i n g in to the F e d e r a l ra n k $ . No other body with such t n intimate knowledge of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned posi tion in the public confidence. T h e rates the railroads may charge the public for transportation are now largely fixed by this Govern ment board. Out of every dollar received by the railroads from the public nearly one-half is paid directly to the em ployes as wages; and the money to pay increased wages can come from no other source than the rates paid by the public. T h e Interstate Commerce Commission, with its con trol over rates, is in a position to make a complete investigation and render such decision as would pro tect the interests of the railroad employes, the owners of the railroads, and the public. A Q u estion For the Public to D ecide T he railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly pa'J . 1 ;. ! constituting only one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from pu' h. tribunal that shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts.
