GRANTS PASS COMMERCIAL
CLUB.
The annual jinks of the Commercial Club hold Tuesday
iiight was the most important meeting the club has held
since it initiated the Crater Lake road bill. The meeting
jvas made memorable, not only by increasing the mem
bership to 562, making it the largest commercial body in
the northwest (outside the large cities) but also by inagur
ating the only practical solution of the good roads problem
yet presented to the people of Oregon, the starting of an
initiative petition submitting to the voters at the next gen
oral election a constitutional amendment permitting coun
ties to issue bonds for road building purposes.
Pull a thousand Medford citizens were present, the
largest number of men ever gathered under one roof in
Medford, and the project was launched with the unanimous
approval of those present. The club proposes to place this
petition in the hands of every commercial club in the state
and ask their active support, not only in securing the nec
essary signatures but also in conducting the campaign of
education necessary to pass the amendment next Novem
ber. Heretofore good roads meetings in Oregon have spent
the time in discussing how to build roads, talking of the ne
cessity of good roads and in hiring lecturers to educate the
public to the necessity of good roads. Discussions about
the methods of building good roads is time wasted.
building has become a science, and there is no longer any
argument or discussion profitable. The government of the
United States has experts employed, whose business it is
to build goods roads co-operate with any section desiring
to improve its roads, and upon a request such an expert
will be sent to take charge of road building in any locality.
Not only will the government co-operate, but the National
Good Road Association will also send its experts and ma
terially assist in every way possible.
All education necessary of the necessity of good roads,
has been supplied by the experience of Oregon farmers
with the present roads and the annual loss which they sus
tain through bad roads. This has been education enough
to convince even the dullest witted. Most farmers now
realize that good roads are not only for automobilists, who
use them occasionally for pleasure, but for the fruit grower
and the farmer who hauls his product to market and uses
them every day in the year. ' Toio. Or., Jan, 25. Medford Com-
- This cutting of the Gorden knot that ties the hands ofimer(!inl Club. Medford. Or.: Unnni,
good road builders in Oregon by the commercial club again
proves to the state at large that Medford has not only the
initiative but the common sense and progressiveness nec
essary to meet all conditions and better not only their own
locality, but people of the entire state, and cannot fail to
convince anyone that the Medford spirit is bound to create
Medford the midway metropolis.

THE MODERN WAY.
The up-to-date modem merchant figures upon adver
tising expenses as he does upon his rent. It is a fixed
charge and the size of the appropriation made is usually
iigured as a certain percentage of the cross receints.
For instance if a man does a $1000 worth of business a
month he puts aside say 5 per cent or more of this amount
-or $oU or more as advertising appropriation for the month,
f JBB
ana tins tixeri charge is covered in his per centage of pro
Tho size of the appropriation depends altogether upon
tne cias3 ot business conducted. Some houses are denend
'ent almost entirely upon their newspaper advertising foi
their business, and other firms merely use it to supplement
established trade. In cities merchants have found it nro
fitablo in many cases, to move from a main street, secure
cneaper rental elsewhere and make up the difference by
. increasing the advertising appropriation.
The man who has something to sell in Medford and of
fers a bargain of any kind in the columns of the Mail Tri-
4 t . . ..V
uune cannot tail to dispose or it providing there exists in
.the, city a demand for the article, as this paper goes into
.practically every home in Medford and in the surrounding
towns, it mere is not the demand clever advertisrng will
create tne demand.
