A MENACE TO OREGON
Eugene Guard:
A friend who has inside information
tells us that one eastern m.iA
house has been paying an OrCf
party $1,500 a year to mail its cata
logs throughout its Oregon tern ton
Until about a year ago when a nc
parcel post ruling was made the - r
catalogs were mailed from a citv
south of us; but since that timethc
have been mailed from Portland, to
which city they shipped by Freig
The amount paid by the CI
house is a revelation of the enormous
business secured in this territory and
of the vast sums of money that go out
that should be kept at home.
The man or woman who docs not
believe that the money sent away h
home bafts should consider this 51.
500 a year salary. It represents a
very small part of one per cent of th
money taken out of the stale each
year by this mail order house to -a
nothing of the" drain upon our finan
ces by other similar mst-tutions.
We talk of establishing industries
in Oregon and steps to make better
business here. Yet, year after year,
as a community, we are undermining
our own prosperity by patronizing
mail order houses. To keep our mon
ey at home would in effect amount to
the creation of a great industry here.
The dollar sent away to the mail
order house is gone for good, never
to return, while the do!lar you sp.-id
with your home merchant travel'
around in this community, returning
to you many times during th vr;ir
Just remember this the nt time y
have an idra that you wit htti si
thing ontside of Eujen A leat
give your home merchants h (Eirt
chance at supplying, yur need.
OLD MEN
A recent new-paper dispatch re
ports a movement to secure pensio
for superannuated government em
ployes. The grayheard of the depart
ment has always been one of Wash
ington's most perplexing problems.
In spite of all the red tape that inter
feres with government efficiency, the
government clerk is apt to be a hard
working man. He ha? at least done
his best by Uncle Sam. It is a hard
proposition to know what to do with
him when he gets by the a?e of great
est efficiency.
In business it is much the same.
There are a (Treat many concerns that
keep him long after te time when
he really earns his pay. But in per
haps more he is coldly and curtly toU
that his place is needed by a stro. :
man. It is a bitter day when hr i!
turned adrift. His heart and haid
are as ready to work a ever, but th:
snap and vim of youth have gone. HV
absolutely is not worth a 'ireat deal
of money, hut the world 'pith tu
turn to dust and ashes when he is
told of that fact.
The proposition in the movement
referred to is to establish a govern
ment pension system for aged em
ployes. It may be possible to work
this out. But the taxpayers ttfe4
regard the cost of government work
as too hiih. If the departments could
be systematized by the same kind of
business ability that organizes a hitr
factory, they ought to be able to pay
their present wazes, provide petition
and not increase the Cost at all Ex.
