WHO PAYS THE INTEREST?

have found by experience that
when | 60 to the store to buy some
article-go with cash in hand-that |
pay just as much as the man who pays
his account at the end of the year.
Has this not been your experience as
we'll? Do you get discount for cash?
Do you think the cold "chink" is
worth more than promise? Why OF
course it is. Your word is good, but
it won't pay the bills of wholesalers
and manufacturers. Those bills must
be paid. and our merchants must have
the cash to pay them with. If he
hasn't the cash he must go to the bank
and borrow it, paying interest thereon.
or pay the jobber interest on the az
count which is the same. But if he
has the cash to pay he must carry the
account of his "pay- -ohce-a-year GUS
toner. 1t is fair to figure reason
able interest on this money invested in
the promises of customers. The ques-
tion is who pays tho interest? The
fact Is when pay as much in cash
as my neighbor does in promises for
the same article. am paying the in
terest, and he is getting the benefit.
Every man who has the cash should
receive cash concession. This is Gus.
tomary every where else, and should
he here. Think it over.

days and the political hides Of several
senators would likewise be consider
ably parched.

1t must be remembe bered that the
Aldrich tariff bill, which Senator AID
rich and his Finance Committee are
now asking the Senate to kindly pass
for them. was framed after number
of secret hearings before this Com
mittee of representatives of certain
interests which enjoyed this especial
mark of favor. IN spite Of all the
strong criticisms directed against this
ugly policy of "star chamber" secrecy
thrown around the statements of those
who seek special privileges of taxing
and plundering American people. the
Senate Finance Committee persistent
ly refused to make their hearings pub
lie, although the Ways and Means
Committee of the House had public
hearings. 1t is not at all surprising,
therefore. that the Aldrioh bill is
found to be crowded with "jokers. !"
OF course, these sprout most abundant
ly in darkness and secrecy. And they
come into the light only by slow de-
grees. The linen trade awoke one day
very recently to find, much to their
surprise, a little "ioker" that was
loaded for them and their customers.
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1909-06-25

Despite the fight put up by Senator
Brown of Nebraska his amendmen
to the Tariff bill to put print paper on
the free list was defeated by vote Of
50 to 28 ir the senate. Bailey was the
only Democrat voting against the
amendment and Beveridge, Brlstow
and Burkett, the Republicans voting
for it. Senators Borah, Bourne. Jones,
Piles, Garter, Dixon and Hepburn vot-
ed nay. Chamberlain was the only
northwest senator voting aye. Here
is an instance where the power of the
press-the Metropolitan press-is not
exerted to any great extent in cause
seemingly of great interest to it. The
reason that 1t does not melt the paper
trust In is found the fact that many
of the owners of big city papers are
proprietors OF individual paper mills
or own stock in the trust factories.
BY holding aloof the influence of their
newspaper columns, they surreptitious-
ly assist in making the burden of tha
competitor heavy one. A united
press could make the paper trust look
like thirty cents in less than thirty

itiative petitions. In passing sentence,
says the Portland Journal. Judge
Bronaugh characterized the offense as
heinous and very properly made the
penalty severe. Others have offended
more seriously against the common

went home and paid off debts, lifted
mortgages and faced the world full
handed. All this was crime against
Oregon, but it was the custom and
was withal beyond reach Of convicting
evidence Far less destructive than
these was the oifense of Ross. They
debauohed official position and cor
rupted the very fountain of govern
ment. He was private citizen, and
his act was not in reality rotten
spot in the public authority. They
were fostering sores on the public bo
som; be was one cancer among the
human atoms. Yet Ross plofaned a
system that is basic in the civic in
stitution. By affixing false signatures
he prostituted the very measure by
which the purpose Of the people was
to be tested. He took the short cut
of fraud as an easy route to his objec-
tive. He invoked the dishonest in
stead of the honest process, and the
two years of his sentence are the price
of his folly. His presence in the pen
itentiary and the reason for his going
there will mark the end of one Of the
abuses of the initiative petition.
Other abuses Of the petition and Of the
system Will be removed with equal
ease by reasonable patience and a
little time.

petition to him bearing the sigma
lures of steen hundred other fans
which asked that he remember that
the opening of the Three-Eye league
season in Rock Island is to take
place tomorrow afternoon and that
he dope out the weather according
ly. If he takes cognizance of the
wishes of the many people who are
planning on attending the opening
game, it is an assured thing that he
will be kind enough to grant a nice
warm day. He has already prom
ised to behave. In that case there
will be a record breaking Saturday
crowd out to see the Islanders and
the Bunnies from Cedar Rapids cross
bats.
Stroehles band has been engaged
to make tour of the three cities on
a street car in the morning and its
members will try to locate someone
who does not already know that the
big day of the season is at hand.
While this seems a useless quest, il
may be that they will find one or two
people who have been Slumbering
for the past month and who are not
aware that the doings are going to
commence. These same people will
be thankful to the remainder of their
days to the band as they will be
warned of the game in time to get
out and see it and to help swell the
crowd.
Resume Jaunt After Noon.
Immediately after dinner, the band
will again set out in a special trolley
car, which will go over Rock Island
bearing the glad tidingS of the dawn
ing of another baseball season. About
3 o'clock, the band will repair to the
parksand the early birds will be fav-
ored with band concert until 3 $50

few minutes before this takes place,
the band will lead a procession con-
sisting of the players of the two
teams. the baseball directors and
few SD degree fans, to the flag staff
in the far corner of the field, where
the stars and stripes will be raised
on high.
