Home PATRONAGE Lesson,

The west is the section that pro-
duces the wheat that supplies the ma
ton with bread. In almost every
wheat-growing section there are flour,
ing mills Yet how often do we find
that people of these districts demand
flour made in a foreign place. This
principle is wrong. There is a loss
to the district. When wheat is shipped
from one state into another or from
the district where 1t is grown to some
other district and then made into
-four which is returned to the people
for their use, there is considerable
loss to the community. There is the
commission to the grain dealers. the
freight paid on the wheat. and the
freight paid on the -four back to the
place, and not least is the employment
of labor in the manufacture. There ia
much to be gained through the pat.
ronage of every home institution,
whether it be a manufacturing enter.
prise or a mercantile concern. The
community is made wealthier by
keeping in it all the dollars that are
the result of the labor OF the people

AwEALTH.sAPPINe SYSTEM.
New Public Utilities Managed In 9
Way That Retards Progress.

II should be borne in mind that the
investment. of outside capital. the
ownership of public and semi-public
utilities by others than residents of a
community, is a serious thing for the
people residing in the place. In west
ern cities there are hundreds OF illus.
trations of the working out of this
plan Of securing public utilities. There
is need of a water-works. Outsiders
come into the field with a proposition
The city or town council is approached
and the final result is that a franchise
covering % to so years is granted
The works are built People are then
compelled to pay highest rates To
meet interest on bonds and watered
stocks. The company perhaps pays
taxes less proportionately than the
residents of the town are compelled
to pay, and the only money left in
the community that is earned by the
operation of the plant are the taxes
paid, the wages of the few laborers
employed. and the salaries that a few
straw officers draw. All the profits
are drawn 20 the owners of the plant
in some other city, generally Wall
street, New York. Thus is built up
a system that draws the money earned
in the community to some other place,
1t Is the same with street-car sys.
tens. electric and gas lighting plants
and all other semi-public and public
utilities under private ownership, and
in which outside capital is chiefly in,
vested
Should these utilities be owned by
home capital, all the earnings would
be retained in the community, to seek
investment in other improvements and
the people would receive a general
benefit. There is no argument that
can prove that foreign ownership OF
any enterprise is good for a commu
nifty. Any system, it matters not
whether in a commercial line, financial
or other branch. that takes from q
community the earnings of the people
and uses them for the enrichment oi
other sections, is a wrong system.
Let business men of every town gel
these facts fixed indelibly in theil
heads. Let commercial club enthusi
aSts settle down to the fact that when
through their work any enterprise is
built up that means continual drain
on the resources of the place, it is
better there be no commercial club
Ii there are any enterprising citizens
enough in place to invest in their own
town in this way, the town should
have no difficulty in stimulating a
municipal ownership sentiment and
have the good work carried on. Com
mcrcial clubs are all right but it is
often that they are operated all wrong
than all right.

MAIL ORDER HOUSE EVIL.
System Keeps Many Agricultural
Towns from Advancing.

There is no use in claiming that
mail order houses are illegitimate
concerns. They are entitled to exist
as we'll AS the small merchant There
can be no doubt as to the perfectness
of the"system that they are conducted
upon. No use in denying that now
and then they fail to give satisfaction
to their customers. So do the mer-
chants in all lines of trade. He who
believes that these great concerns are
not injurious to the merchants in the
smaller cities and towns knows little
about their operations. Then how is
it that the mail order houses are in
furious to the people of the land?
Great economists agree that it is the
concentration of capital and power in
the large cities wherein rests the dan
gers that threaten the people. The
mail order houses are great factors in
this concentration. They are suckers
of the blood of the country, the
where it is earned the money that
should be retained by the people for
the development and enrichment of
their own communities. Herein is the
mail order house evil. On these
grounds all wise people will do what
ever lies in their power to head off
the greater growth Of the system. Any
system should be retained within it's
limits for the greater deVnlODment of
it's resources and general enrichment,
is bad system and should be decried.
1t is not sufficient that the consumers
retain the profits that should go to the
tradesmen of the place. BY this there
Is little development of industry. The
towns and cities lose the business that
is necessary to employ the people,
while the wealth to an extent may be
retained
