A Suddenly Rich Jackass With a Nut in His Head and a Bur Under His Tail. The newspapers of Oregon are cer- tainly being handed a prize package in these times. With nine tenths of them on the verge of bankruptcy and the othes one tenth barley ’getting by there seems to be a studied attempt being made to throttle the life out of the whole bunch. First, the paper trust takes a fall out of them to the tune of 100 per cent, as compared with the price charged the govern ment for the same grade of paper, and tlie government which is profit ing by the infamy, is not even mildly 1 interested. Then the war conies along and con vinces some of the business men that Tie newspeper is the proper place to exercise most of their thrift concepts, but cutting out two thirds of all of their advertising. And job printing, while the prices of everything that goes into :t has gone up 100 per cent or so, must needs be had at a little lower figure than ever before, because the war is hurting business—every body else's business except the print er’s. His, of course, is booming. Th.n along comes Charley Jackson, himself an ex-«ounty publisher—a suddeny rich jackass with a nut in his head and a burr under his tail—who evolves a proposal to send out notices I of delinquent taxes in envelopes print- I ed in the government printing office, | or by the rubber stamp route as is [ done in Folk county, on the paper for 1 which the county publishers arc pay ing, at least in part in the increased 1 cost of their cwn supplies, to make up for the differential in favor of the government, who, it seems, is not as able to pay its own bills as the coun try newspapers are. And now, on top of this, comes a suggestion to cut the rate of legal rd- | vertisi.ig a:rJ presumably compel the 1 papers to publish legal notices "t what those making the proposal see . fit to designate as a "reasonable rate” The fa:t is that the legal rate, provid ed by the Oregon legislature, is ap proximately 5 cents a '.inc, which is exactly what nine county papers out of ten charge their merchant patrons and otiiers foi readi.i¿ notices the country over. Son”, papers, of course charge more than that, but none of them charge less, or could charge less and live. And in O egofl absolutely no pro tection is th _wn the publisher »torn cheap j. y shysters who pay their bills wild, they have to, but very sel dom have G. The suit ci. not go on without the publication of the sum mons or notice of some sort, yet when the publication is made, the law in Oregon leaves the publisher tc shill for himself, and declare that his costs are.not a part of the cost of the suit. The result is that sometimes he collects after a time—a month, six months or a year—a.id often never "1y pock- get.- a coal. The shyster quietly pock ets tne wliol< ice and leaves the print er to whistle tor his money. There is not a newspaper publisher in Oregon v.h- has not been up against all these things time after time, And he must d.j this at the same rate that his lo cal merchant, who pays his bills at end of each month, pays for ti.e sanu i.civ’ce. Vet this freak measure which it is proposed to inaguiate at the next election would cut off these un- reasonable charges. The Observer is strong for this measure. It believes that the newspa- per« of Or.gen have ’t coming to them, because they have not had pnergy and cooperative spirit and backbone enough to deserve anything better from the people of the stale. Every year they whoop ’er up for a bunch of cheap skates who go dew n to Salem and vote and do just what they are told to do and in many cases just what they are hired to do by the particular interest which they repre sent.. And never within the memory of living man, has it fell out that a newspaper man has been seen in the legislature, to protect the interests of these people who need it most of all. He is too busy at home, whooping 'er up fur the politicians who send in their wishes and desires by mail and whose face, perhaps, is never seen in- . cide the newspaper office—at least f » not after election. If this measure is passed, and the I publishers have as much sense as the good Lord gives a skunk, they will re I fuse to publish any notices of such description in any of the pape-s of the state, as long as it is force. i Oregon voted $20,000 out of the state treasurer two years ago, every cent of which was spent for printing outside < f the state, to advertise the resource:, of Oregon. Some of this money was taised by taxing Oregon newspapers. The plan seems to be to destroy our own means of publicity and to boost the other fellow's. It is a plan fill wed by a few persons in every town, but has perhaps never before been put on a state wide basis. It will be a winner if persisted in. \\ • are anxious for it.— Polk County Observ er. _____________ Some Good Advice. “Don’t think too much of your own methods. Watch other people’s way, and learn from them.” This is good advice, especially when billious or constipated.
