"CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT" COSTLY
i One of the most . successful retail merchants in the
country tells me that he thinks we have gone to extremes
in defending the hypothesis that the customer is always
right. - ... " ' : 1: .
"It is a good business slogan," he says, "and frequently
the customer is right But what about the times when the
customer is obviously wrong? If we permit ourselves to
be imposed upon by saying that he is always right, then
we are unfair to all the rest of our customers. If a woman
returns a cloak that has been damaged and we accept
it, the only way we can make up the loss is by charging
a little more for other cloaks." Fred Kelly, in The Na
tion's Business.
LETTERS FROM

' Portland, Oregon, Apr. 30, 1925.
Editor, The Evening Herald:
We would appreciate it if you
would give space in your paper to
the enclosed article, as we are ask
ing for its publication for the par
pose of ascertaining whether the
people of Klamath county want,
Czechs as settlers or not. We ask
ed for its publication in foe News,
but our. request has not, so Tar.
been acceded to. '." ". "" "
; '., ' Yours truly,
. ' Oias. J. Zergao,
'.., . President.
: ' 1 Portland Oregon, llarch 26, 1925.
The Editor, The Klamath News,
Klamath Falls, Oregon. .
Dear Sir: '-.
A number of residents of Klamath
County have called my attention to
your issue of March the 12th, where
in you. ask the question "Do you
think it would be a progressive
step for Klamath County to import
a colony of. Czechs?" and the opin
ions in reply thereto. ''
. Permit me to state that your
question is misleading, in tftat it
is not our purpose, in the settle
ment of the lands of Oregon, to im
. port Czechs or any other nationality.
The prospective settlers of the
Czech nationality which -we' intend
to bring to settle the lands of Ore
gon are citizens of the United States
residing in different states thereof.
The Czech -people, as you know,
arjs not 'in inferior Tace. Many peo
. pie are not familiar with the Czech
y nationality, for -the reason taat
these people were formerly known
as Bohemians. They were an inde
. pendent nation centuries before
there was a United States, and con
tinued as an Independent nation
' until about four hundred years
ago, when they were conquered by
Austria, and from that time up to
I the close of the World War were
subjects to the Austrian govern
. meat. : For centuries this ' nation
. led in literature, arts, music and
' industry, ninety percent of the in-
; dustries of Austria being in the
' province of Bohemia, A reading of
the history of taese people will
show that they .are an exceptionally
Intelligent race, and lovers of lib-
erty. .. After - the World -War the
province of Bohemia again regain
ed its Independence, and "Is , now
known -as the Republic of Czecho-
i Slovakia. ; This " republic was the
'first of all European countries to
stabilize its government and its
. finances.
..'' When a person of this itl ility
emigrates to . the United States, his
first tsep is to become a citizen of
this country, and to edu.tata h.'s
children. The assimilation of this
nationality is so rapid that It is
almost an Impossibility to tell
whether the pareu'.s . ut ''he first
generation were bsrn on ' foreign
soil or whothor th.ilr' forefathers
had been In this country for tnn-
turles. In fact, the tint eeneru- ,
lion are real American, tvhu.io tie-)
sire Is to be of sorvli'o to the '
-country, and who havo-tho riuntry's
,, welfare, at heart.' ;Y)tt ' .inva ex

you will find from an observation
of them that the are extremely
Interested in education, that most
of their children are- graduates of
hish schools, and many of universi
ties. How many settlements in
Oregon are there, of the size of
.MaJiu. that' have , a high sc'aool?
Where will- you find another' class
of people that will get as much
out of the land as these people did
around Malin,. and establish cheese
factories and . other industries, as
they have done? vAre these, people
net law-abiding citizeas of the
United States?
We were of the opinion that this
racial and religious prejudice had
ceased to exist in Oregon, and that
there would be sincere coopera
tion between the people of Oregon
and the Incoming settlers; in fact,
'Without tacit cooperation, it is use
less to bring in new settlers, be
cause the methods of farming here
are -so different from those in the
east that, without the cooperation
and assistance of the various local
ities In this state, rae'new settlers
will be "unable to successfully de
velop the Oregon lands.
.1 regret that space does not per
mit meto' go more fully into the
history xf the Czechoslovak people,
but If it did, I would be able to
show you that the Czechoslovaks
are devoted, 'not only to progress,
but also to all the better things
and that their idol citizenship Is
which oar government represeata,
an asset, rataer than a liability to
the United States. . In conclusion
permit me to 'say that these ..jop'jr
are not new comers to the United
States, and that the first Bohemian
emigant to this country came in
the year 1620. s ; .,,
Respectfully yours,
Chas. J. Zergan,
President, American Czecho-Slovak
Chamber of Commerce of Portland.

stolen today. Jerd, who was armed
only with a pistol, fired two shots,
neither of which is believed taok

have to be built Into the Klamath

"The same thing holds true with
the proposed Union Pacific exten
sion from Crane to Odell. Tonnage,
now tapped by this line to Crane Is
negligible. With the extension, nnr
figures show that the roud would

Sir. Corey was confident that the
interstate commerce commission
woull grant to, the Hill lines, the
right to common user of the South
ern Pacific lines at Odell.
"It is the logical move," the pub
lic, service commissioner said. "If
the Hill lines were forced to build
their oyn line all the way to Klam
ath Fulls It would mean a greater
Investment -and, hence the necessity
of a larger return. The . ahlpperB
would have t meet the increase. '
So to protect the shippers, I think
the interstate commerce commission
will force S. P. to grant common
user."
