During a recent investigation by
4 Legislature committee in Illinois ii.
to conditions prevailing among. work
ing girls in the city of Chicago, a
number Of the big department store
proprietors, or managers, were ques-
toned and all Of them invariably de-
Tended their position and the wages
paid their girls, declaring that it was
possible for any girl to live on So a
week, if she desired, and those who
"went wrong'' on such wages were
only those who were attracted to such
a life. The statements of the bosses
are entirely irrational. How do they
know whether girl can live respect
ably on So a weekq julius Rosen-
wald, head of the great mail order
house of Sears, Roebuck & Co., said
his company couldn't afford to pay
their girls the proposed minimum
wage Of $12 per week, although he
admitted that his company paid div
idends last year in excess of $3,O00,-
600. 1t appears that the questioning
Of the store proprietors will amount
to nothing. They will all maintain
that financial ruin stares them in the
face if they are compelled to pay
their girls living wage. What the
Legislature needs to do is to pass a
bill and compel the employers to obey
its mandates.

The Corvallis city council has gone
on record against further high-priced
paving and at a recent meeting pass
ed resolution declaring that, here
after, $l.25 per square yard win be
the limit for such work. This price
includes the grading of the streets
and all other work connected with
hard surface improvement. The coun-
Gil is also agitating the installation Of
a city plant to handle the work and
thus escape paying the handsome
profits resultant from paving con-
tracts by outside corporations. The
city ownership idea, noted at Cor
wallis and suggested in Mr.. Hayter's
article printed in today's Observer,
appears to be growing all over the
country. And when one stops to think
he can see no reason why every city
should not do its own paving. While
II may not be able 10 use any Of the
patented pavements now being laid
by protected corporations, it would
be entirely possible It seems, to en-
ploy competent paving man to over
see the work and then have ell i'm
pr0vement carried on by the munie-
ipality as It done in California This
would mean an immense saving and

Why all this howl about the la
mented "Gill bill" which sought to
fix The salaries Of the county ofic-
ials in every county in the state, and
what is TO be gained by declaring
that it is, or it isn't, or wasn't, a
West measure, or that it isn't, or
wasn't a "saIary grabg I" The bill
was never considered as one Of Gov
ernor West s measures, although he
is said to have suggested some such
arrangement. In this the governor
was right. In endeavoring to take
this everlasting salary proposition out
Of the hands Of the Legislature for
good, the governor had the right idea
and no one would welcome such a
reform more wahmly than members
of the legislature. But the method
used as basis to fix the salaries in
this bill, was thought to be wrong
by the majority Of senators in which
branch Of the legislature the bill was
killed. While all admitted that a
law providing for a general adjust
ment Of salaries would be beneficial
it was contended that an arrange
ment which sought to fix them ac-
cording to the size Of the county in
square miles, or on its assessed val
uation, would be unjust in many ca
ses. Conditions in Eastern and Wes-
tern Oregon are SO different that what
would be advantageous to one would
not be at all acceptable to the other,
and the greatest fight against the
Gill bill came from Eastern Oregon
While all this is true, it is neverthe-
less fact that the governor tried to
whip Ghe Legislature into line for the
Gill bin by vetoing every salary bill
sent to him, basing such refusal on
the statement that the "Gill bill will
take care Of this salary increase. "
He continued in such messages even
after he knew that the bill had been
defeated and even sent special mes
sage to the legislature at its veto
session, urging the passage of the bill.
The Observer doesn't believe that
single bill passed at the recent ses-
sion fixing the salaries of county offic-
ials will work injustice on the tax
payers in the couties affected. The Of
fetal as well as the laborer should be
worthy of his hire and when we find
county school superintendent who
is serving the people for $50 per
month, as was the case in some Of
the counties where increases were
made, common sense would seem to
demand that he be given pay COM
mensurate with his services.

The determination of the city coun-
ell to visit other cities for the pur-
pose Of inspecting the different pave
ments and learn all there is to know
regarding their cost and practicable
ity, is a move in the right direction.
It is the only way in which the plain,
unvarnished truth may be ascertained
and may, in the end, save thousands
of dollars to Dallas property owners.
There is no reason why Dallas should
not profit by the experience of other
cities and the city council is taking
the sensible method to find out about
it.

If Governor West really desired to
be consistent in his veto Of salary
raising bills, he might have placed
his disapproval on the measure in
creasing the pay of his private sec
retary to $4,000 per year. So far as
The Observer is concerned, we have
no fault to find with the salary, and
believe it is small enough for one who
fills this responsible position, but the
question of the fairness Of salaries
and the actual need for them, was
overlooked in all other cases by the
executive, in order to play to the gall
leries-why not in this instanceq

NEW IDEA PROVES SUCCESS
Farmers Short Course at Burns
Meets Hearty Approval.

Portland, Mar. 11.-(Special) -
The first short course for farmers
and stoc1raisers ever held by the Or
egon Agricultural college away from
Corvallis has lately been finished at
Burns, which has aroused that part
of the state to the benefit of this
work. The interest was high and the
attendance large. The subjects treat
ed were stockraising, general agricul-
ture and domestic science.
One family rode nearly 100 miles
in a wagon to attend and great good
resulted from this missionary"
work by the college. All went away
very much interested and highly ap-
preciative of the work done.

Since the city Of McMinnville has
undertaken the work of hard surfac-

has found considerable difficulty in
keeping up with the demand for the
improvement, property owners gener-

holdings This is the usual result
when the work is once begun and
the installation of several blocks of
paving is always followed by uni
versal demand for more.

Many merchants complain that the
large mail order houses secure bus
mess from people who should patron
ize the home stores, and while this is
probably true, how many Of these
same merchants really make an ef-
fort to secure the trade that is slip
ping away from them. Nine times
out Of 10 the man who does the big
gest job Of kicking against the out
side concerns, is the same fellow who
says it doesn't pay to advertise. I"
Yet it is q fact that the big houses,
all Of them, spend princely fortune
every year in advertising. This does
not mean that the money is expend-
ed in newspaper space, for the very
apparent reason that no single news
paper reaches the patrons of con-
cern whose business extends from one
end of the country to the other, but
it is spent in catalogues and in other
ways. If the home merchants would
make an effort to show that they can
meet this mail order competition,
quality Of goods and loss Of time con-
sidered, we do not doubt that they
could, to very great extent, counter
act the inroads Of the catalogue or
mail order houses. Combinations
among merchants to maintain prices
for the goods they sell, or to control
the schedules paid for country pro-
duce, is another feature which, to
q certain extent, operates in favor of
establishments in other
communities, although it does not, of
course, have any bearing on the mail
order business. When the farmer re-
seives more for his produce at one
place, or in one store than he does
1t another, no one may blame him for
trading wlere he can do the best.
But, if the merchant really wants
he trade Of the community he should |
forget that old plea Everybody |
Knows me" and go after the trade.
While certain amount Of business
S bound to go to the mail order
concerns, The Observer believes that
4 lies in the power Of the local mer-
shant to divert considerable Of it to
lis establishment, if only the proper
Methods are employed. It's worth a
rial anyway. Let the people know
you are on earth and doing business.
