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.
