Air. Wholesale Merchant, Mr. Retail Merchant, Mr.
Consumer, did it ever occur to you that of every dollar you
spend for shoes and clothing and foodstuffs and other ev
eryday necessities of life, if the goods arc produced outside
of Oregon, approximately 75 per cent of your dollar goes
out of the state while if the goods are produced within the
state of Oregon the full value of the article or 100 per cent
of your dollar remains within the state, thereby giving you
another change at it or, in other words, the dollar remains
here to help develop other industries in Oregon, thus mak
ing it: a better state to live and do business in?
Did it ever occur to you gentlemen that if each and
everyone of you would get together and agree to help de
velop Oregon industries, not only latent ones of which air'
we boosters are so prone to prattle, but the real, live, going
industries that are actually running and maintaining pay'
rolls and using up, raw material and producing things for
people to use that you would be rendering a service to your
state and to your children and children's children, that is
'almost beyond estimating?
Did it ever occur to you that every dollar of real Ore
gon money that is kept in Oregon and kept working for the
development of the slate is of considerable more value to
the people of the state than is any dollar or dollar and a
half or even two dollars of outside capital that we are all so
anxious to see brought to Oregon and put into some big
industry that may or may not help in a real way to develop
the slate's resources and make il a belter state in a general
way for eom'mon, ordinary people to live in?
The dollar you have to spend today is already here and
if you spend it for a dollar's worth of some ( )regon product
that vim need, il Slavs here and it costs nothing to keen it.
The outside dollar that we are all so anxious to bring in is
not here yet. Oregon lias still got to get and if we finally
succeed in landing it, il is pretty sure to cost us something
in the way of advertising and promotion expenses.
About the best advertisement to attract outside capi
tal to ( tregini is a statement of fact to the effect that Ore
gon people are loyal to Oregon industries and that they
spend their money, whenever possible, for Oregon made
goods. Thai sort of bail will catch the wariest kind of ca
pital and il we once get the habit of encouraging Oregon
industries by buying their product rather than making line
speeches al bampiels about how important they are, we
will find plenty of wide awake business men not only look
ing but actually traveling this way.
l-'.vtrv dollar of Oregon money invested in an Oregon
industry that is loyally supported by Oregon people is a
real, live asset to the state and it will attract other dollars
here just as surely as a well charged magnet will attract
iron tilings.
Payrolls and Progress, a little trade paper published
by the Associated Industries of Oregon, has something to
say along this line in a recent issue that is worth repeat
ing. I Iere it is:
"You have heard the adage that "A prophet is not
without honor, save in his country."
"So it is with Oregon products in many cases.
"'Why, that can't be much good', someone may say:
'it's made right around the corner here.'

It is now becoming clear that the country was afflicted
less with underproduction than with overconsumption,
which is largely a phychological product. People become
moved to buy more than they can readily pay for in fear
that prices are going still higher, and merchants according"
ly overbuy, and the mills in turn are smothered in orders
and the whole distributive system finally becomes choked.
Wrhen this overconsumption finds that it can continue no
longer, it stops and turns the other way. Then the strain
ed situation begins to break down all along- the lines.
this began some two months ag-o with the shlashine
ot retail prices, which was followed by cancellations of ord
ers on the mills and then by shut-downs and unemploy
ment in various sections. These tendencies mav continue
for a time. The Reserve Board's report and current dis
count rates show that the credit situation is still under
strain such as to compel further liquidation.
but the board takes a cheerful view of the outlook, and
it has reason to. The existence of the bederal Reserve
System is that reason. Under the old system such a devel
opment and collapse of overconsumption always meant a
panic and but for this great reform of the first Wilson ad
ministration it would mean panic now. New York World.

HUNTING
SUCCESS?
From what angle are you approaching
success ? Is your advance steady with no re
tracing of steps ?
Set your goal the amount of money you
wish to save $500, $1000 or more within a
given time. Go straight to your goal by way
of a Savings account a fixed sum deposited
regurlarly. It's the one, sure way.
The interest earned
brings success more quickly.
That Oregon should have been the. state which nomi
nated Calvin Coolidge for vice-president at the republican
national convention is not surprising. Massachusetts furn'
ished Oregon with the largest percentage of her pioneers.
Portland, Oregon, was founded by two New Knglandcrs.
Ojt." was from Portland. Maine, and the other from Boston,
Mass. The flip of a coin decided whether the future lead
ing city of Oregon should be called Portland, Oregon, or
Boston, Oregon. Surely it was no more proper that the
.stale in the west which owes most to Massachusetts' stock
should nominate Massachusetts' governor for vice-presi-ilent
of the United Slates. Wall Street Journal.
