FROM JOE TO BILL

Dear "Alibi' Bill:
This is an open letter. 1t will not be signed by tx Y II or
canon" such as often write editorials in the Valley County News.
1t is from us and for you, so that the dear public may know that
we haven't got a frame-up to start a little something in our papers
just for excitement.
We know you love us Bill, but just the same we amt been

eye every once in a while just to be sociable. l know you think
you can lick us, but faint never been done yet and we amt saying
as how it could. Fighting is not exactly in our line, but we amt
Did you ever fight a pole-cat, Bill? Well, you can't do it
without getting some of the "non-combatibus" on you, and it's the
same way with lots of people. You can't fight them without get
ting Tainted" some yourself.
You must admit, Bill, that your p~eevishness at the Mayor and
the Council caused you to overstep your dignity. We saw an in
justice had been done and resented it, and will continue to do so.
We know you are trying to get a stronger stand-in with the
Ladies' Aid by saying as to how the Courier is SO crooked we
could hide behind a cork-screw, but we won't say anything as to
that. We amt never got so far as to have to defend ourselves,
and don't consider it necessary. -
Some day Bill, we hope you'll reform. And we might add
that you can't make us sore by stckin' out your tongue, or making
faces, but when you call our friends names, why we naturally get
all "het' up.
Hoping to hear from you soon, we are

PREPARE NOW

When peace comes some business
men will be ready for it. Others will
have to get ready after something
hits them. In time of war prepare
for peace. "Peace hath her victories
no less renowned than war;" One of
the victories of that peace we are
hoping we see the approach of will
be found for the business man in re-
suits of preparedness. To prepare
for the changes peace will bring it is
necessary to bulwark and stabilize
business by skilled advertising. It is
necessary, We say. Note that. Moth
ing but advertising can stabilize bust
ness as it can. If ever there was a
time in the history of business since
advertising began when careful bust
ness men should invoke the co-opera-
ton of their customers, through ad-
vertising, that time is right now. Ad-

lars, then that figure multiplied by
four or one hundred million dollars
should be taken as the valuation of
the mines for this year. Or the
mines should be taxed at a percentage
of their net earnings, in the manner
of income taxes.
Either change will be a great i'm
provement upon the present method
and will bring both sides neare the
solution of their difficulties. The state
will get more of the revenue it is en-
titled to. The mining companies will
have the desired opportunity to con-
tribute to proportionate share of the
state taxes.-River Press.

THE

Like the growls of a snarling dog
which never bites, are the attacks
which the Valley County News makes
on public men.
Open accusations, giving truthful
facts are never the vogue with the
News editor. Rather would he in
sinuate that there might be some
thing wrong if somebody would care
to investigate, but he v goes far
enough to investigate himself, leav-
ing it to the readers imagination that
he has done a great service, whereas
he has only vented personal spite in
an attempt to injure someone whom
he considers a personal enemy.
If he had concrete evidence of any
of the fragrant discrepancies which he
continually bowls about, why does he
not file information against those
whom he directs his attacks? Do
you suppose for a minute that if
Rhodes chad" any real evidence
against the objects of his wrath that
he would stop at publishing a libelous
and misleading article?
We deem it %deplorable that the
community should be kept continually
on edge because one individual in il
points an accusing finger at individ.
uals who are above reproach. 1t is
indeed sad that the "Town Knocker'
should be the editor of a newspaper
And we wonder what opinion the PEG
pie in other towns would have of oul
fair city, if the Valley County New.
was their only source of information
Doubtless they would consider thia
the "Hell-hole" of the earth, infested
by a gang of thugs, thieves and gam
blers, for articles that would lea,
them to this conclusion are givel
prominence in every issue of the 10
cal scandal spreader."
