STRANGERS KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR; FOR PROFIT— and more towns are joining the par M ORE ade of cities enacting the so called Green River ordinance—which is aimed at transient peddlers who go from door to door selling mer chandise which could never get by if placed in honest competition with merchandise on the shelves of local places of business. With the means of distribution so greatly increased in the past few years everyone has quick aocess to anything they wish to buy—without being pest ered by bell-ringers trying to palm off gadgets on the public. One of the latest of Oregon cities to adopt the Green River ordinance, and put sharp teeth in it too, was that thriving little city of Redmond. In the words of Joe Brown, Redmond editor, “There are three main reasons for the odinance. First, it is to rid the town of gyp artists who are bound by cold percentage to take the measure occasionally of even the most wary of citizens. Next, it is to relieve citizens of the nuisance and potential danger of having swarms of itinerants visiting their homes. Finally, it is to protect tax payers and merchants against unfair tax-rent and over-free merchandise dumped into their territory.” Judging from the swarms of peddlers making the rounds in the Nyssa territory one would judge that the grapevine has marked this ter ritory as a soft touch. Up to date there has been no widespread demand for the enactment of this type ordinance; but the day will come when the public itself will demand protection from unwanted solicitors. It does not stop those who have regular customers and who are legitimately invited to call. The law itself is based on the as sumption that a solicitor, unless invited, is tres passing on private property. ------------------ + ------------------ CLARK WOOD COMMENTS Our solons need to learn that the budget can’t be whittled down by means of cutting remarks and sharp rejoinders. It’s a question whether us Americans kick harder at public extravagance or at not getting our share of the “gravy." Us olders understand the youth of today no better than we were understood by the “old fogeys” of two decades ago. Although the college graduates have had time enough to get action, this sad old world seems to be in the same old fix. This, apparently, is developing ap_ RJ t into a gov- eminent of, by and for organized labor. “Burn all your diaries before you many,” ad vises Dorothy Dix. Or immediately afterward, if it’s a good match. No, Gertrude, the names of Russian aviators do not always end in “sky”, but sometimes the sky is the end of Russian aviators.
