LET THE PEOPLE THINK.
As the people complain ibcut growing
Ui burdens they are s'.owly coming to
a realization of the fact that the load
they are carrying is largely a result of
their own acts.
Taut is they have been Tilling to
ai1Vt without counting the cost in ad
vance, every new-fangled proposed
idea relative to city, county or state
government or our system of public ed
ucation. The public has a right to demand
that candidates for public office be qual
ified for the positions they are to fill
and they have a right to demand bus
iness administration of public affairs.
It is unfair, however, to elect a man
to office on an economy and business
platform and in the same election vote
for the passage of various measures
which add mi. lions to the tax burden
of the sute. If the people do this they
have but themselves to blame when the
tai collector comes around.
As the family keeps within its in
come, prospers and produces good cit
izens as a result of an example set by
the father and mother in the daily life
of the family, so will the state grow
and develop and keep its tax require
ments reasonable in proportion to the
thought and intelligence manifested by
the members of this great collective
family, namely its citizens.
Public officials are merely the hired
employes of the people. The average
employe will furnish good or bad ser
vice according to the example set him
by his employers.
Go to the poles and vote as carefully
on public affairs as you would on mat
ters affecting your own famliy life. Do
not vote to expend public funds and
then kick at paying the tax bill. Such
a course is as foolish as to contract
family bills and complain at the collec
tor for insisting on payment
Here is the first step the people must
take in any program of economy and
business management in public expendi
tures. The Manufacturer.
NUKMAL HISTORY IN ADVERTISING.
Historians who study newspapers to
lea" the habits and customs of peop'es
say they gsin more information from
; advr rtisements than from news ac
courrs and that the information im
parted in advertisements is mope ac
curate. Advertisements tell their stor
ies without the intrusion of the editor
ial bice pencil. They show the. devel
opment in transit, they disclose the
; charcirg conditions of the home, they
: ar.nource the birth of scientific discov-
ety and invention, they prove the worth
of that which is true and unmercifully
' cxpo.-e the sham and the. fraud. They
j ttll of our varying taste in dress, they
! show our belief in sanitation, they dis
I close oar love of sport, describe our
work they mark the change in the
status of womanhood and youth, they
visualize the moulding of our morals
and our methods and present to us hu
manity from the financier to the finale
hopper.
the newspaper subscriber who fails
to read advertisements misses more
than half the value of his favorite pub
lication. Advertising is sews of the
highest importance and the most reli
able news presented to the people. Dur
ing the war, when Michael Friedsara,
the great New York merchant, was ap
pointed to serve as Fair Price Commis
sioner by the government, he was asked
how the public could be best kept in
formed as to honesty of prices. His
reply was terse and true: "Let them
read the newspaper advertisements.''
People used to wonder where all the
pins went to, but now they wonder
what becomes of the six million Fords
which have been turned out, and all the
tonsils that have been removed.
MATCHES AND TOBACCO.
The fire danger incident to the use
of matches and tobacco, writes Secre
tary of Agriculture Wallace, is usually
given little consideration by the vast
army of smokers.
Statistics compiled by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters show that
the annual loss from fires caused by
matches and burning tobacco in the
United States reached the impressive
total of more than $73,000,000 during
the five-year period 1915 to 1919, inclu
sive. To this total must be added a consid
erable percentage of the unnecessary
fire destruction in the forests of our
country, where each year fires destroy
or damage sufficient timber to build
homes for the entire population of a
city the size of Washington, New Or
leans, Denver or San Francisco.
Campers, hunters, fishermen and
woods workers should read this and re
solve that their carelessness will not
contribCte to destructive forest fires.
Now they are making a gun back east,
to install at the Golden Gate near San
Francisco that will shoot 120 miles.
That is much like the one the darkey
soldier said he saw over in France dur
ing the war. He said if the gunner
wanted to kill anybody ail he wanted to
know was what their address was.
COUNTRY TOWN OF TODAY.
Time was when the evening closed in
on the average little village out any
where around the country like the com
ing of sleep. The cool air blew clearly
and the lights from the kerosene lamps
in the windows were hardly more bright
than the distant stars. The insects
chirped shrilly in the fields and forest
adioinine. the frogs in the old swim
ming hole at the outskirts sang a glad
chorus, the soft breezes whispered
through the trees and far away over the
meadow a cow mooed for its calf. That
was all aome time ago. It is different
now.
Now with the evening hour the loose
planks of the bridge rattle as the farm
ers' motor ti-s come charting in at
thirty miles an hour. The dust and
the smoke of the Fords shut off the
stargliht, but the red, white and blue
electric signs of Bill's Bile Beans and
Melodian Hall Jazz make a fair second
edition of the Great White Way. There
is no longer the smell of new-mown
hav in the air, but instead the smell
of consumed gasoline, peanuts, perfume
and hot dog sandwiches. The song of
the katydid is hushed by the stentorian
tones of a politician running for otnee.
the bong-bong of aSalvation Army bass
drum on one corner and the oratory on
another of the radical telling just how
the Genoa and Hague conferences ought
to have been run.
The old time quiet country village
is going th eway of many other noble
traditions. Ouiet is old fashioned. It
smacks of mournfulness and arguei
want of enterprise and eet-up-and-git, a
steady intercut in doing nothing at alL
The auict country village win never oe
quiet again aB long as farmer folks get
tired of the quiet of the daytime, and
there are flivvers that will carry the
whole family Into town to meet other
families to take in the movies, consume
peanuts, devour the succulent hot-dog
and send up gas smoke and dust to ob
scure the blue canopy of the ailent
heaven.
And now it turns out that the coun
try, especially in New York and other
eastern centers, is flooded with millions
of dollars worth of narcotics by a dope
ring, and that some of our government
efhcials are members of it, and have
been swindling the government out of
millions, to say nothing about the dam
nable crime of supplying addicts with
immense quantities of deadly drugs. It
is hard to believe that men can sink so
low in the scale of humanity as to do
such things.
Ten thousand tourists who loft New
York in one day recently took along
about J.VOiMHVH). And vet the oM coun
try complains that the United States is
doir.g nothing to relieve its financial
digress. They charge an American six
prices for everything over there, also.
PHYSICAL FORCE METHODS DYING.
The great coal strike and the threat
ened general railroad strike are the
last efforts to revive expiring physical
force methods.
The Klamath Falls sawmill strike and
the Portland Longshoremen's strike are
dying a natural death and 1922 will see
death of strikes.
Intelligence is taking the place of
force, and strikes are going into the
discard with militarism. The Manufacturer.
It is no proof of a man's religion that
he subscribes to the story of Jonah and
the whale. A better test is if he sub
scribes to the church budget and pays
up.
People are tumbling over each other
to buy radio sets, but they dont seem
to be buying any more garden tools than
ever before.
And why shouldn't Democracy look
forward to 1924? It cant get a bit of
satisfaction in looking back at 1920,
The people who pay as they go may
not go as fas as some others, but they
always find it easier to get back home
again.
"He that refraineth his lips is wise,"
said Solomon. If he were here today he
would merely say: "Don t butt in."
ONE HUNDRED PER CENT AMER
ICANISM. Pres censorship is unnecessary, so far
as the rank and file of these papers
is concerned, especially the 'small city
dailies and country weeklies, who ever
stand for truth and patriotism, as
against socialistic exploitation.
The country press is today in the
forefront to combat and give pitiless
publicity to the forces trying to under
mine the Constitution of the United
States and overthrow our government.
History is full of warnings. People
in ancient times said: "It can't happen."
And the same thing was said in Russia
but a few years ago.
It can happen. Our entire social and
commercial fabric is threatened, else
the reports that filter through the press.
from the depratment of justice the
Nation's secret service and other
sources, are not to be relied upon.
It's through the "Country Press that
public opinion is molded, and if too
late it is discovered that certain inter
ests have succeeded in getting control
it will be due to indifferent support
of the loyal and patriotic one hundred
per cent American country press.

TELL your dealer you want
to see a Fisk Tire beside any
other he offers you. He has it
in stock or can get it. See for
yourself what the Fisk Tire has
to offer in extra size and strength,
howits resiliency compares when
you flex the tire under your hand,
how the depth of the non-skid
tread looks beside other treads.
This is the way to buy tires!
There's a Fisk Tare of extra valua in every she,

HARNESS IN DEMAND.
Not by any means is the horse har
ness business extinct, according to the
report of W. H. McMonies t Co, to the
Associated Induntries. The demand for
collars in which the firm specializes
far exceeds the capacity of the atlil ex
istent factories. (Shipments are being
made to California and Nevada and par
ticularly good is the demand from Mon
tana. A recent order for 600 dozen
horse collars had to be refused on ac
count of inability to fill the order on
time, says Associated Industrie of Or
egon, which would seem "to Indicate
that "old Dobbin" is still on the job
and carrying his share of the burden.
