THE PEDDLER AND HIS GOODS— ANY of the good housewives of Nyssa have been complaining of the peddler nuisance, which seems to grow greater each day. Nyssa must be the happy hunting ground for door-to- door peddlers; as spring weather bring them just as surely as warm weather brings flies and mosquitos. There is a reason why door-to-door agents ply their trade freely in Nyssa. Many other towns, including Ontario; have enacted the so- calldd Green River ordinance defining peddling as a nuisance, and the agent is subject to arrest. Over 500 other cities in the United States have enacted this same law, named after the origin ator, Green River, Wyoming. Two weeks ago the Supreme Court upheld the law, saying in ef fect that it is within the province of municipal authorities to define what constitutes a nuis ance. Free lance agents stay away from these towns and is one of the reasons they are so num erous in unprotected towns. Any person can enter a complaint against un solicited peddling in towns protected by the Green River ordinance and when strictly en forced, peddling soon becomes a thing of the past. An agent who has customers, and these customers invite him to call, can legally call and sell his goods but if they call at other homes they are violating the ordinance and are subject to arrest. As any well informed person knows, one who buys from a peddler invariably gets the short end of the deal. He either pays a long price for something the local merchant handles, or he pays the penalty of a low price by receiving shoddy goods. Commissions for peddlers are very high, often over 100 per cent. For verifica tion refer to advertisements for “Agents Want ed; $100 a week profits possible, etc.” The peddler sells from door-to-door, taking orders from pictures, or selling goods from a sample case. The mail order house uses Uncle Sam to distribute their selling talk ; both taking business that belongs to your local business man. Both sell their goods for cash, and get it. Then hard-luck hits the shortsighted purchaser and he goes to the local merchant to see if he can buy on credit. While the merchant is filling the credit order with one hand he is handing out a dona tion to some worthy local cause with the other; and in the back of his head he is wondering how he is going to pay his taxes to support the school his credit customer is sending his children to every day. When he goes to the phone to be in formed his account is overdrawn he sees his de- linauent credit customer of last winter march by with a mail order package under his arm, prob ably containing the same merchandise he sells at comparative prices. Yes, it’s a free country and its your money; and its very much in style, but it isn’t fair! M -------------------------+ ------------------------- COMMENTS BY CLARK WOOD Victories in Spain are evidently won by the side that’s first to the wire. A Texas chap o f 19 claims to have read 18,000 books. He must be fed up with turning over a new Leaf. “It was not a sit-down strike that took place in the tack factory,’’ says the esteemed Oregon City Courier. We can almost see the point. The chap who doesn’t do much with his time is likely to find, some day, that time is what he has to do. If congress, now, would only stage a sit-down strike instead of striking out the strike. President Roosevelt has convinced us that he hasn’t an eaual as a radio speaker. Wish we certain that ne is as wise as he is persuasive.
