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!

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.
