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

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. You will find many peo­
ple who use Chamberlain’s Tablets
for these ailments with the best re­
sults. and will do well to follow their
example. For sale by Lamar’s Drug
