PRICE CUTTING
There are a few people these,
days that are trying to get some -thing
for nothing, but there are
thing, for nothing, and there are
many people who are always
looking for something for a lit
tle less than it is worth- Most
people prefer to pay what a tiling
is worth and get what they want
rather than to pay less money
and not be satisfied.
Price cutting tends steadily to
lower the quality of workman
ship as well as the quality of the
goods.
Price cutting kill and des
troys the benefits derived from
advertising and causes manu
facturers and retailers gradual
ly to discontinue it
Mail order price cutting kills
off the small dealer in the coun
try community; reduces credit
ratings; takes away and des
troys the good will of the pro
ducer.
Price cutting lessens the re
numeration to both the whole
saler and the retailer for distrib
uting the goods.
Price cutting is a policy of
business destruction.
It reduces the margin of pro
fit and leads to poorer service
to the customer.
On the contrary, price main
tenance is the policy of con
struction, improvement in qual
ity, with the endeavor to excel
other standard identified or
trade-marked goods.
The price cutter loses a legit
imate profit and the purchaser
loses the quality and service.

A NEW INDUSTRY
The Albany Democrat tells of
the growth of peppermint rais
ing in Linn county and describes
this new industry for farmers
of the valley as becoming very
.profitable. The article also
says that Albany is likely to be
come the peppermint center of
the world.
Farmers in Lane county
might take a tip and do a little
experimenting with peppermint
and discover whether it is a
crop adapted to our soil- If
peppermint is a profitable crop
in Linn county it should be pro
fitable in Lane county.
One of the greatest obstacles
to agricultural success in this
valley is our remoteness from
good markets. There is always
a good market for peppermint.
The oil, when extracted, which
can be done on the farm or in
the community is not bulky and
the cost of transportation would
not amount to very much.
The Democrat tells the etory
in the following manner:
With success as pungent and un
deniable as its odor and flavor, the
peppermint industry of Albany and
the Willamette valley Is invading new
fields and Is broadening Us commer
cial scope and possibilities, John N.
Davios, representing the "Wllmerda"
company, walked Into the post olllco
today with a beaming smile. Ho wan
carrying a bottle of liquid.
"This," he said, "Is redistilled pep
permint, grown on the Santlam river.
Jt represents another step forward' In
tha great peppermint Industry.
Crudo poppormtnt, of course, Is nn
old Industry, But tho success of ex
periments In roflnlng It has created
a new Industry, or now branch of tho
Industry, which will bo of conunet
clal and financial value to Albany and
country round about. This region Is
tho biggest producttvo center for tho
Industry In tho United Stntoa. Aftor
tho llrst year peppermint Is grown
hero as A Hold crop like clover and
alfalfa. Tho success of tho lnborntorv
work which la producing n ylold and
variety of tho oil which Is far ahead
of anything olso In tho world, will
tend to advertlso Albany and tho
peppermint country.
There Is every reason to expect tho
development of this Industry will
bring capital and rovonuo to Albany.
CONTINUED PROSPERITY
A series of articles published
in the New York Times on the
morning of November 21, give
four specific instances of the
heads of large corporations in
different lines of business volun
tarily raising the wages of their
employes. Prosperity in the
eastern states is not prosperity
for the manufacturer alone. He
has come to realize that his
prosperity should be the pros
perity of his helpers.
The news articles speak for
themselves:
NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Nov. 20.
The Cotton Manufacturers' Associa
tion of this city voted today to grant
a 10 per cent Increase In pay to their
33,000 operatives to be effective for
a period of six months beginning on
December 4. The increase is tho
third within this calendar year, and
brings the total ndvance within that
time to 27 per cent. This Is th
largest Increase) within a year thut
the. mill hands have ever received. It
will Increase the total annual pay
roll of the mills from about $17,30
000 to approximately $19,000,000.
The Manufacturers' Association in
cludes only the cloth mills, but tho
yarn mills always ,have followed the
cloth mills in the, past, so that labor
leaders expect the Increase to be gen
eral throughout the city.
ROCHESTER, Nov. 20. The East-
'man Kodak Company announced to
day that It will give a temporary In
crease In pay to all employes earn
ingup to and Including $50 a week.
The high cost of living and a probable
hard winter are given as the reason
for the advance. The Increase will
bo paid for twenty-one weeks begin
ning December 6.
An additional wage of 10 per cent
of their dally wages will be paid to
employes earning not more than ?20
a week. Employes earning more than
j $20 a week and up to $50 a week will
receive $3 additional a week.
LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 20. Word
was received here today from Harlau
County to the effect that all of th
coal mines in that county had volun
tarily granted a 10 per cent Increase
in wages to the mine workers. Three
thousand five hundred men will bene
fit by the Increase. The companies
Issued a statement to the effect that
the action had been taken because of
the high cost of living.
AUGUSTA," Ga., Nov. 20. The
wages of 1,400 operatives of the Alt
ken, Langley and Semlnolo cotton
mills near here were Increased 10 per
cent, effective today., The payroll
for, the three mills Is approximately
$425,000 annually.

RAILROAD FORCES PRL'PARE
NEW FIGHT ON 8-HOUR LAW
was last August.
President Wilson Is committed to
tho enactment of a compulsory Inves
tigation law, and presumably will two
Ills utmost endeavor to have It pasaod
before March 4 next, when tho Houso
of Representatives will bo transferred
from Democratic to Republican con
trol. Tho brotherhoods oro stronger than
they were for through their agreement
with tho Amorlcan Federation of Labor
they will havo tho Bupport
of 300,000 members of tho twolvo de
partments of railroad workors affiliated
with the federation. It Is apparent
that n struggle of Intense Interest
will bo witnessed In tho Capitol thin
winter if President Wilson uses his
Influence with Congress to bring about
tho passage of the compulsory Invos
ttgatlon law and the other features
of tho program he laid boforo tho two
houses last August when tho general
strike of railroad trainmen was threat
ened. t
Chairman Adamson would say ltttlo
tonight about his call on tho President
Ho tntcndod, ho said, at tho coming
Besslon to Introduce a bill dealing with
tho railroad situation. Tho commlslo
ho said, had tho right to tako wag
esot railroad workers Into consider
ation in determining freight rntof.
and ho thought that It wages wore tn
bo considered by the commission It
would be well for tho commission
to consider the big salaries paid to
railroad Presidents and attorneys. Tho
suits to test tho constitutionality of
the Adamson law wero merely strike
suits, Mr. Adamson said, and wero
I brought to force the commission to
give the railroads an Increase of freight
rates,
Mr. Adamson said that under tho
Adamson law it would be lawful for
a railroad to compel a trainman who
completed his run tn less than eight
hours to work for the rest of the eight
hour period. He referred to the con
tention of Charles E. Hughes In this
connection, and said that as good a
lawyer as Mr. Hughes must have
known that the railroads had no such
right. One hundred miles was a
day's run on railroads, and if tho
trainmen completed the 100 miles tn
less than eight hours ho had done
his day's work.
The Joint Congressional Committee
on Interstate Commerce began Its In
vestigation of tho transportation pro
blem today. Nono of tho brother
hoods heads attended tho first meeting
of the committee, and they Indicated
that they did not expec to appear
until they were Invited.

force their demands by the threat of
a strike or by a strike Itself. When
the effort of President WilBon to pre
vent the strike through legislation re
sulted In the enactment of the Adam
son eight-hour day, the brotherhoods
felt that they owed something to the
Administration and the Democratic
party, and for the first time ln their
history they took an active part In a
political campaign. With the Presi
dent re-elected they feel that the ob
ligation Is mutual, and that it Is duo
to them the Administration should
do everything In its power to prevent
the courts from overturning the Adam
ton law.
They feel also that the Adminis
tration should not propose any addi
tional legislation that is offered to
railroad workers, such as tho compul
sory investigation measure. It would
not be surprising to observers hero
to find tho brotherhood beads back
In Congress again at tho session which
will begin on Doc. 4, using their influ
ence to defeat the enactment of tho
compulsory Investigation proposal of
which President Wilson will renew
in his annual address.
How tho brotherhoods will faro in
that event is problematical, Tho elec
tion is over, and the fear of the labor
voto on tho part of aspirants for tho
Federal offices is not so potent as It
