Expecting a vast number of

Much ado has been made in
the recent past about loan sharks
and the outrageous interest
charged by them. But yet, is
Multnomah county any better
than the sharks when il comes
TO collecting taxes? The penalty
for nonpayment is surely out
rageous, and the man whom
misfortune has overtaken, who
finds IL impossible To accumulate
enough money TO pay his taxes
in one lump. is the man whom
the new and in way vicious tax
law burdens most. No one
would seriously object to n
reasonable penalty for delayed
payments. but the exorbitant and
uncalled for rate Of Multnomah
county is almost disgraceful.

Why il is Difficult

A retail dealer at Rainier give.
the following reasons why il il
is difficult TO sell Oregon mad,
goods:
The fact has been decidedly
proven that il is absolutely nee,
essary for dealers in the small
towns 10 advertise in their home
papers. moving picture theatres,
etc, in order 10 sell their goods
and meet competition in the way
of city department stores, cata-
log houses, etc.
IL has also been proven. in
most cases. by bitter experience,
that the most difficult and dis.
couraging part of retail business,
meaning the small retailer, is
advertising of merchandise, and
can safely say that | am voic-
ing the opinions of 75 per cent
of the dealers of Oregon. The
reasons that are the cause of this
condition are many, and as
follows:
First and most important, the
lack of interest of the Oregon
manufacturers i'm advertising
their products, such as furnish
ing us with electrotype cuts, adj
vertising matter. etc. This is a
very serious matter for the rea-
son that the Eastern manu-
facturers will furnish us with
all the advertising matter we
can possibly use, and here of
late we can buy in the East and
lay the goods down here as cheap
if not cheaper than we can get
the same article from our home
manufacturers. And now comes
the Panama Canal with cheaper
freight rates. Something has
got TO be done in the way of
educating the Oregon manu-
facturers up TO the standard of
their Eastern brothers. We are
appealed TO every day to patron
ize our home manufacturers.
But | would ask; What en-
couragement do they give us to
aid in placing their merchandise
before the public?

It's understood that the county
commissioners had given the
city council assurance that if
a water hydrant was placed
within easy access of the ferry
boat that tying the vessel up on
Sunday for the purpose of clean
ing the boilers would be done
away with. IL is also under
stood that the hydrant has been
duly installed. but still the boat
is off duty on certain Sundays.
At least such was the case last
Sunday. If tying up the ferry
boat on Sundays could be avoid
ed il would be highly appreciated
by the travelling public. The
attention of the county authori-
ties should again be called TO the
matter.
