GOODBYE BILLBOARD

THE bill board craze is on the wane.
Il Gradually national advertisers are
coming to realize that the practice
plastering outdoor America with ad-
vertising signs is costing more than
it is worth. This realization coupled
with a sense of civic pride is prompt
ing them to remove their own adver-
Using and to discontinue bill board
contracts.
One of the latest to renounce out
door advertising is Florenz Ziegfeld,
proprietor and producer Of the Zieg-
field Follies. He has announced that
he has given up all forms of out
door advertising and will concentrate
upon newspapers. This means the
tearing down, of the Times Square
electric sign maintained at yearly
expense of $4,000 and the cancela'

eating an annual expenditure OF
$4,000.

NEWSPAPER BLOC

DILIGENTLY when certain country
~ newspapers were putting forward
the name of one of their number as
a probable candidate for governor,
in some quarters the cry of news
paper bloc" was raised against the
proposal. : E."@~ Id. (
Now, there isn't much that can oe
said in defense of the bloc system
of government. 1t is foreign to the
American conception and plan OF
government. The farther we trail
after blocs the farther we shall stray
from the fundamentals written into
the Declaration of Independence and
the constitution of the Republic, and
the sound practice of representative
self-government. a@
! The course of self-government con-
tinues true and safe only so long as
it is. given direction by the will OF
the majority deliberately and dispas-
sionately expressed. Unless the indi-
vidual himself, and not the mere ac-
cident of his profession, occupation,
vocation, or place of residence, be
made the governmental unit, the free
and unhampered will of the majority
is impossible There is not in the
Republic majority of laborers, OF
farmers, of lawyers, of business
men, or of editors, and so if we are
to govern ourselves by determining
the will of the majority we must
cooperate in government as individ-
uals, not as classes-the citizen
must function as "who" and not as
a "what." In keeping with this con-
ception of self-government America
has sought to govern itself through
the medium of political parties TAX
ing their memberships from all class
es, professions and denominations.
Contrasted to this plan is the bloc
system. The bloc is political buc-.
cancer, an Independent organized
minority which seeks to substitute
its will for that of the majority, or
rather to force the majority to ac-
cept the bloc's will as its own. Its
deeds are not always misdeeds. Its
motives are not necessarily improper.
The particular end sought is not al
ways inimical to the best interests
of the body polite and sometimes its
methods are the only methods which
will bring results. In the name of
expediency it may find some justi-
fication for existence. Fundamental
~ it cannot qualify under the Amer
lean plan of government. If we are
to have government of the people,
for the people, and by the people,
the people themselves, and not their
occupations, must function in govern
ment
The one characteristic common to
all blocs is single purpose. All of
their activities and energies are di-
rected definitely and singly to the
accomplishment of that one purpose.
The farm bloc wants legislation di-
rectly affecting the farming indus
try; the labor bloc wants legislation
directly affecting the terms and con-
ditions of labor; the legion bloc
wants a soldiers bonus, and so on
through the whole wood pile.
If this be reasonably true inter-
probation of what is meant by the
term bloc, just what could be the
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1924-04-24

single purpose of a newspaper bloc?
If the country newspapers 'of this
state organized for political action,
whether to elect one of their number
governor or to control the legisla-
ture, and became known as bloc,
what would be their demands?
The motive power back OF every
bloc is self or class interest. The de-
mand is always for governmental or
political action that will prove direct
Iy beneficial to the individual MEM
bers of the class. Country editors
are fairly normal individuals. They
are possessed of self interest. Just
like men of other professions and
occupations they are interested most
vitality in the success of their own
endeavors. But the mere fact that
country editors are normal individ-
uals; that they are possessed OF self
interest; that they are primarily IN
terested in the success of their own
endeavors precludes the possibility OF
their moving politically as bloc.
Attempt to organize the country
newspapers of the state into a bloc.
What happens. 1t is reasonable to
expect that the self-interest of the
newspaper publisher would center in
the chief sustaining factor OF the
newspaper business-display adver-
Using. Accepting then the increase
of display advertising as the ,pur pose
of newspaper bloc, along just what
lines could the bloc move to accori-
plish this purpose.
The chief source of the county
newspapers display advertising is
the country merchant. The volume
of advertising depends upon the
country merchants ability to adver-
tise. To increase the volume of adj
vertising it is necessary to increase
the prosperity Of the country mer-
chant. This can come only through
the greater prosperity of those in
whom is vested the purchasing pow
err of the community.
Thus far in the bloc program all
newspapers would be agreed. The
steps in the program are common to
all. But where does the bloc go from
here? The only way the Courier-Re-
porter, for instance, can advance its
self-interest and increase its pros
perity is to increase the prosperity
of the farmers who sustain the CON-
munity. The fruit growing industry
must of a necessity be the back
ground for its setting in the bloc.
The same is largely true of the news
papers throughout the Yakima Val
ley. But just across he river in Pas
co the chief sustaining factor of the
community is the railroad payroll.
If the self interest of the Pasco Her
aid lis to be advanced, somewhere
in the bloc program provision must
be made for lettering the conditions
and increasing the earning capacity
of the railroad laborer, and for main
tanning harmonious relations between
him and his employers.
In the Palouse and Big Bend dis.
tricts the self interest Of the news.
PAYERS centers in the wheat growing
industry; up in some of the northern
tier of counties it is stoclraising; il
Gle Elum and Roslyn it is coal min
ing. Over in western Washington
the self-interest Of the newspapers

,rh;cb might be advanced through
bloc action, centers in dairying, in
berry growing, in poultry raising, in
numbering, in logging, in fishing, or
in manufacturing. In brief the self
interest of the newspapers OF this
state is as broad as the state and as
varied as the resources and industries
of the state. .I@E -.
The country editors hobby, his
weakness in fact, is his community.
He may be provincial and narrow.
Personally he may be a skalawag or
a bigot. but as an editor he is al
ways the promoter, the champion
and the defender of the principal
industry of his community. His one
outstanding characteristic is his en-
during, and usually exaggerated, en-
thusiasm for his own home town.
Look over his editorial files. What
is it he has been writing about, adj
vocating, demanding, or clamofing
for? How many of his editorials
deal with conditions that directly and
exclusively affect his business? If
he has discovered that he is being
directly Disseminated against by the
powers that be, if he feels that his
business is strangled and held down
by too many governmental regula-
tions, or is handicapped by lack of
beneficial or remedial legislation, he
hasn't been talking about it. He has
MT been demanding any political or
governmental action in his own be-
half. If his voice has been raised in
protest, his protest has been against
conditions which he considers con-
trary to the best interest of the pri-
mary Industries of his community.
To advance the self-interests of
the newspapers of this state is to adj
vance the interests of the whole state
The country newspapers have adopt
ed estate Unity as their slogan.
And state unity is the only platform
upon which the newspapers of this
state can stand. Any plan of action.
political or otherwise, which places
any of the states vital industries at
disadvantage could not be formu-
lated nor carried forward by any con-
siderable number of the states news
papers. The only basis for united ac-
ton on the part of the newspapers
is fair treatment and equal oppor-
tunity for all vital industries.
Bloc action is action by class
for that particular class, or by oc-
cupational group for that particular
group. Such action is not necessarily
detrimental to other classes or
groups but Independent of them. The
newspapers as an occupational group
could not carry forward a political
program of any consequence indepen-
dent of other groups, because the in
terests of each newspaper is insep-
arabic from the interests of the bas-
ic group of its community. In other
words the country newspaper editor
is much more vitality interested in
the sustaining industry of his COM
munity than in the business of his
fellow editors in other parts of the
state.
In short, the newspaper publishers
do not constitute a class of and by
themselves because their self-inter.
est lies with the dominant vocation
of their communities rather in gen.
eral sense with their own vocation
