We can find ex ample after example of railroads, public utilities and other corporations spending much time and money to es tablish good will. Many corporations publish detailed accounts of disburse ments, showing how the money is spent and the various sources of revenue. Thifj good will is often in corporated in their statement of assets. It is rather the exception now for a large corporation to fail to employ methods to better both the physical and mental side of its employes. With some corporations stock can be purchased more cheaply by the em ployes than by the public. In other firms various inducements are offer ed to foster thrift and the desire to own homes. Muny forms of whole some amusement are provided, in cluding gymnasiums and athletic grounds. The eight ho ir day is now so generally accepted that we think nothing of it, yet h few years ago the 10-hour day was almost universal All of these are simply manifesta tions of a desire to create good will —Frank L. Muines in Christian Busi ness for December. You wouldn’t suspect it while listen ing to some of them, but it’s true. This legislature faces several diffi cult tasks. Probably it will make many mistakes in spite of its collec tive caution. It will make fewer mis takes if those who will be affected by its action will take the trouble to keep in touch with its activities and will give its members the benefit of information and constructive sug gestions. Do not hold aloof during the ses sion, and then kick when it’s over.— Oregon Voter. -----------—o------------- The Mail-Tribune issued the best and largest newspaper ever pro duced in southern Oregon on Janu ary first.

THAT the success of merit plus advertising is giving to Florida a growth in population un precedented in the history of the United States. THAT to meet the demand for transportation railroads and automobile highways are being built—steamship lines are being established— and all of these are the result of merit and ad vertising.
