FAKE ADVERTISING
BANNED IN YAKIMA
CITY Commission Passes Ordinance at
the Request of the Business
Mems Club

NORTH YAKIMA, Dec. 31.-lf, af-
ter January 30, a North Yakima mer-
chant advertises that he is holding
closing out sale he will be expect
ed by the city government to close
out and any continuance in business
will bring a fine, not for continuing
but for falsely advertising an inten-
ton not to continue.
II he advertises a sale at less than
wholesale prices he may expect to
be called upon to show that the fig
ures at which his goods are marked
are actually less than those which
the wholesaler received
If he urges his customers to buy
goods from a bankrupt stock at less
than 80 cents on the dollar he may
expect to be required to make good
on his claims.
The embodiment of good mercan-
tile ethics in legal provision was pass
ed by the city commission this morn
ing in an ordinance which forbds
fraudulent or misleading advertising.
1t was petitioned for by the Iaki-
ma Business Mems Association.

Of the Roosevelt procession-but we
know that in 1900 the Colonel was
dealing lusty blows for a democracy
which was then believed to be almost
defunct. He had the courage of his
convictions and was the only man
we ever saw who could lambaste the
republicans in his paper and go
around the next day and get their
job work and advertising. We know,
because we ran republican paper
in Aberdeen at the time, and it griev-
ed us nightly to see the warehouses;
of the party fatten the enemy at our
expense.
But the Colonel is eminently fitted
for the job. He is sound in wind and
limb, has a quick, bright eye, and
his long experience in reading proof
will enable him to detect and cor
rect any errors on the post cards re-
ceived at the Aberdeen postofiice.
Go to it, Colonel; you ought to
win, and if we had any influence
with Woodrow Wilson you could now
order your black suit and hard boiled
hat, a costume peculiarly fitted to
postmasters and undertakers. -Ho-

City Extravaganza

The New Bedford Standard, speak
ing of the project to change the state
taxation laws to permit cities to
raise SIS per 1000 for expenses in
stead of $12, makes very sensible
comment on the seat of the whole
trouble. 1t is to the general effect
that the cities whose cost of living
has become so high are merely suf-
fering from the same complaint that
most individuals suffer from, to-wit:
the desire to have everything the
rich folks have except money" in
George AIDES happy phrase. 1t is
perfectly true that part of the diff
ficulty has arisen from grossly I'M
business like methods, the inevitable
consequence of entrusting complicat-
ed public business to absurdly I'M
trained and VIGOROUSLY incompetent
men, who cannot even manage their
own private concerns with credit, lie,
alone TIE rIh'ic'e
But il is also fact that a good
deal of the expense of civic admins
tration is due to our era of extra
vagance and to our municipal as well
as our individual unwillngness to do
without things that we know we can't
afford. Cities are coming to buy au-
tomobiles as recklessly as individuals
do--pOstpOning the payment of bills
in order to do it. 1--WE all want more
things than we are able to pay for
and we want them right away" re-
marks the Standard, and with abso-
lutte truth. Moreover We are all
ready to speak of such things as alb
solute necessities when, as matter
of fact, we could get along without
raising the limit is going to change
the situation much. City govern
ments will 90 on as before, spending
all the money they can get hold Of,
and whether they start with $12 or
SIS per 1000 is comparatively I'M
important matter 1t may do some
good for a year or two--and then
the situation will become precisely
what it is now. The real remedy is
not in raising the calber of the men
who oversee the spending. You can't
expect $4,000 work from an alderman
whom M hucipaSS man wOu1d droom
of hiring for more than SIS a week;
and the sooner our enfranchised citi-
zens recognize the factt he better

now to pick up the odds and ends
around the place and turn them into

money as you can afford and as much
enthusiasm as anybody to any move
ment to develop the towns resources.

their buying at home or. if there is
no such movement, that you will start
one.

The City Elections

Withthe city primary elections but
TWO months off, it is well for the citi-
zens of Aberdeen to cast about for the
hest officers available, considered
wholly from business standpoint
The city is no more interested in a
probable candidates views upon the
national issues than it is in the color
of his eyes, or his views upon rein
carnation, in the selection of a may
OF and councilmen. What is required
is men Of best knowledge and bust
ness capacity obtainable and the
choice of such men depends upon the
voters.
A man of capacity is not going to
spend much time or money in secur-
ing a position in which there are
more kicks than cents, and such
man will not be chosen unless the
voters discard personal and private
prejudice in their selection. After
many years battling, the Herald sue
cseded in practically eliminating par
ty politics from the elections of the
city, and today tho do not enter,
except for the attempt of socialist
leaders to inject them for the purpose
Of preserving what they term "par-
~ solidarity"
A movement is afoot to have James
A. Hood run for mayor, and the Her.
aid stands ready to support him, not
outstanding the fact that for more
than quarter of a century, the writ
sr and Mr.. Hood have at all times
fought each other politically, and
heye are our reasons: Mr.. Hood is
ia position to devote the required
time to the business of the city; he
10, in all probability, as conversant
With the needs and affairs of the city
In which he has resided for more
than rs years as any man in it and
in which time he has served two
years as mayor and five and one
half years in the city council Mr..
Hood has the courage of his convic-
tons, and if he errs it will be the
honest mistake of his Judgment, not
the behest of somebody else.
The Herald is able to discover but
one small cloud in the business sky
for the year 1913, on Grays Harbor,
and that is the threat made last year

Quality, Not Quantity, Wanted

The new year brings the meetings
of the legislatures of the four states
that combine to form the Inland En-
pire, Idaho, Washington, Montana and
Oregon.
Many of the members of these leg
islatures have ambitions to distin-
guish themselves by introducing bills
for enactment into laws. thinking that
thus they justify their election and
render service to the commonwealth.
The purpose is a good and COM
mendable one. But it may better be
fulfilled by aiming at the enactment
of good laws rather than of many
laws. Not the amount of legislation
achieved during session. but its
character it's likelihood of standing
the test of operation and scrutiny and
of benefiting the public should be the
thing to bear in mind. Quality in.
stead of quantity should be the criter-
ion.
Excess of legislation, especially OF
half-baked laws, is one of the serious
governmental evils from which the
states and the nation suffer We want
much less of activity in lawmaking
and much more of effort to secure
well-dgested and effective legislation.

The Money Trust

The testimony now being given be-
fore the Pujo committee will open the
eyes of those who have regarded the
money trust" as myth and the
criticism of it as the "mouthing of
demagogues" The witnesses. many
of them reluctant ones. are forced to
admit the existence of condition
which shocks the moral sense of the
country If the terroriZed business
men of New York are unable to break
the hold of this tyrannical combina-
ton they ought to be grateful to the
people outside for the release that is
sure to come as a result of the in
vestigation. The people will not. when
the facts are known. tolerate a con-
tinuation of the blackhand methods
by which the big financiers have
dominated the business world; neither
will they allow a few hundred stock
brokers to prolong their saturnalian
feast at the expensive of the public
Progressveness includes legislation
which will protect the public from
both the pirates and the gamblers of
Wall Street.-Rryan' Commoner.

"My purpose is to organize a band

this morning. Merchants do not al
ways look on band as profitable to
themselves. Many farmers do not
come here to trade because there is
no attraction offered. If we gave
weekly concerts this matter would
largely clear itself. The average far
mer spends about $500 for provisions
and clothing for his family yearly.
Suppose only 20 farmers were at
tracted, the amount of business would
be made larger by about $4,000 year.
Band concerts on the streets by
strictly high grade organization will
attract enduring trade. Merchants
will be given chance to meet new
customers in the crowds that collect.

STORM DOES
MORE DAMAGE
Continued from Page One).

The adjoining building saved the
house from being wrecked, although
the damage is considerable as it is
the floors being forced up and the
kitchen and woodshed badly smashed
in, besides considerable. damage be
ing done to the household goods.
Streets and Wires Suffer
Additional damage to the streets,
done Monday night. will add $1,000
to the city"s loss in that direction,
according to Supt. Arthur, bringing
up the damage of the city to fully
$4,000. Telegraph, telephone and
light wires were badly damaged, not
less than 600 telephones being out
of commission in the city, and the
long distance line was still out of
order last night. The light wires far
ed no better, and lnemen are work
ing day and night in the effort to
restore the service on all lines.

Court Of Commerce Abolished
The democrats are going to abol
ish the Court of Commerce after
March 4 and it is certainly very
wise move. The Interstate Commerce
Commission has rendered valuable
service in controlling railroad rates
in transportation. The Court of
Commerce is a pet of Mr.. Taft's and
his stand-pat friends, and this court
was invested with power to over-rule
decisions of the Interstate Commerce
Commission so that when a great rail
road corporation wanted to raise the
rates of transportation on the public
and failed to get permission from the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
they could appeal to the Court Of
Commerce." and they usually won
their appeal Judge Archibald who
was a member of that court is now
being tried for misconduct or com
mon graft.
