QUIT KNOCKING.

Brother Ruhl. in the Medford Sun,
makes these splendidly wise sugges-
tions for those who are disposed to
knock. 1t was written for Medford
knockers, but applies with force to
Ashland as well:
1T Is time for the calamity howl
ers to shut up or migrate. Financial
panics are built upon mental sugges-
tion. All that is needed to produce
hard times is for a majority of the
people to think hard times.
"If man has 5000 in the bank
and he runs the gauntlet OF the ham
mer brigade. he will conclude that
he better hang on to his cash, and
cut down his living expenses.
He buys fewer clothes than usual,
he eats less food, he postpones the
purchase OF this piece OF furniture
or that bit Of hardware. in short he
lives under his income and just 50
much money is taken out of circu-
lation. With hundreds Of others fol-
lowing the same mental impulse,
money becomes tight. What started
1t? Merely thought.
Optimism pays, not only in better
spirits but in dollars and cents.
Looking on the bright side OF things
is not only good policy but good bus
iness. II conditions are bad, wailing
makes them worse; II conditions are
good, boosting makes them better.
I'm this line of endeavor every in
diyidual can contribute his share. 1t
costs nothing, It takes no time or
work. There need be no make be-
Iieye. There is light and a dark
side to every condition. There is a
light and a dark side to the present
condition in the Rogue River Valley.
II everyone looked on the bright side
and talked on the bright side. there
soon would be no dark side worth
talking about"

NO COMPLIMENTARY LIST.

The Tidings has no complimentary
list. Conditions in newspaper pro-
duction have materially changed
within the past few years. 1t used
to be that printers were paid off with
orders on the stores who advertised.
Printers are more independent now;
they demand their money at regular
weekly intervals, and il must be cash.
We have to pay cash for print paper,
for rent, for labor, for everything
used in the production of a newspa-
per, and unless the paper gets cash
FOR what it has to sell it will surely
fail. Some newspaper proprietors
still practice giving away their pa
pers to every person who furnishes a
bit OF news. AS a rule these papers
are always behind with their bills
and in failing condition. 1t is no
wonder. How could they be expected
to be otherwise? A newspaper has
three sources Of revenue, subscrip-
tion, job work and advertising, and it
can no more afford to furnish any
of them free than merchant can af-
ford to give away his merchandise.
1t takes cash to produce a newspaper
and therefore cash must be collected
for its services.

That fruit prices will be much bet
ter this year than last seems certain.
The middle west will have a much
smaller crop of fruit this year, es-
peciaIly apples. Fruit is but a side
issue with the middle west farmer.
If he has all he wants for his own
use he is satisfied. as a rule When,
as last year, he has a bumper crop
he simply turns it loose ON the mar
ket and is satisfied with what it
brings, be it little or much. Hence
in bumper year the market is de-
moraliZed. In the Mississippi valley
it is almost unknown for one full ap-
pie or peach crop to follow another.
This is especially true where there
is no thinning done and trees are al
lowed to exhaust themselves. These
facts incline the experts both east
and west to believe that prices will
rule much higher in the principal
markets this year than the past sea-
son.

A man came in and stopped, the
Tidings the other day. This is moth
ing new; in fact, this is the frequent
experience OF every newspaper, other
wise the lists would grow to a mag
nitude which would put the proprie-
tor in the ''plut" class. Neither was
the reason given unique, but it was
typical. A man had had trouble
with his wife and had her arrested.
He wanted the details inserted in
the Tidings. Seandal-monging is not
the mission of a local paper, neither
is the washing of dirty linen" The
one subscriber lost by such refusal
is nothing to a paper beside the
knowledge that it is sending nothing
debasing into the homes of the
patrons.

in the days when this society flour

against the Catholics the most re-

German or Irish settlement In the
country was hotbed Of treason.
Every shipment Of hardware into

OF war, and tiL1id ones slept in ter

When calmer reason returned and

When General Hancock over thirty
years ago said that the tariff is a
local question it is believed to have
cost him the presidency. Yet he was
nearer the truth than was then
thought. With the democratic SEN
ators from Oregon fighting free wool
and the democrats OF northern Min
nesota fighting to retain the tariff
on iron and iron ore, 1t looks as If
it was more question of local ad-
vantage than of party politics or
scientific taxation.

From Wednesdays Daily.

An increase of $12,650,957 in the
personal property assessment and of
$16,519,S9S in moneys and credits in
Minnesota is shown by the returns
made by county assessors to the
state tax commission and now com
piled. Real estate is not assessed
this year, the 1912 valuation being
used although additions, consisting
of improvements made since the last
assessment to the amount of $12,-
61S,581, were made.
The tax commission will now go
over the completed returns from
the counties and make such equali-
cation, adjustment and increases as
it deems advisable. 1t is likely that
the moneys and credits item will be
given substantial boost by the
commission and may reach $170,000,-
600. The personal property assess
ment is also due for a raise.
The commission will soon COM
plete the tabulation of bank assess
ments and hearing will be given

eys and credits assessment will be

Correcting Wrong Impression.

In the account of the mass meet
ing held in Butternut Valley on Sat
urday evening, August 80, which was
published in The Free Press on
Tuesday, September 2, an erro-
neous impression was given. The
meeting was called to obtain the
sentiment of the people of that To-
cality concerning the action of the
board of county commissioners in
declaring the road from Lake Crys-
tai, which had been a state high
way, to be no longer state road.
The resolutions passed at the meet
ing included the statement that "the
county commissionersp should have
no legal nor moral right" to change
the road from state highway. The
Free Press incorrectly state that "the
county commissioners had no right
to take such action"
