Kennewick, Washington.

Kennewick, Washington.
Gentlemen:
I've got steady enough nerves.
I can skid up to the edge Of a
cliff without batting a headlight.
Traffic doesn't bother me a bit,
and / can tear over a dangerous
mountain road without losing a
stroke. But
II the old man doesn't hurry
up and put some anti-freeze So
luton in my radiator. I'll be q
nervous wreck, IL not worse, in q
month.
Some night, sure he's going TO
forget to drain my radiator. Not
only that, he's going to forget
how cold 1t is, and let me freeze
up on the road before he thinks
to cover me up.
The suspense is terrible. Last
night he walked clear out OF the
garage before he remembered to
come back and drain out the
water. Believe me, with anti
freeze as god and as cheap as It
is now, he's making a big mis-
take.
Please use your influence with
him.
Yours anxiously,
Henry Coilbox.
Dear MIR. Coilbox:
Our sympathy is your. You are
in for a lot of trouble. If he has
Mt bought anti-freeze yet, he'll
probably wait until you freeze UP
once. Yep, Wen be seeing you
with a busted radiator.

Sane Regulation OF Chain
Stores Can Be Accomplished

I .-~~~e.sF
If the chain stores are abusing
their power, power they have SOLE
~ because they are big, the con-
gress and the several states surely
ought to take notice. There can be
sane regulation of them. They
can be made to correct any abuses,
but I can not find any legitimate ex-
cuse for destroying them. am in
the role of consumer, and every
legislator ought to consider that his
constituents are consumers and that
they must be given consideration.
I have been told by men in the
government whom I believe have a
general understanding of the prob
lem that destruction of chain stores
will raise retail prices of the things
they sell by as much as 20 percent.
Who is going to pay that? You and
and everyone who buys for con-
sumption. If I can get my cigar
cites at two-for-a-quarter, I am
not going to pay Is cents. So, if
congress or the state legislatures
find it necessary to protect the in
dependent, that policy should be
adopted. But the extreme position
of taxing them out of existence or
destroying them some other way is
utterly silly. It is, as I said earlier,
rather like cutting off my nose to
spite my face-and I have a beak
of which not one could be very
proud!

Should Give Thought to
General National Policy

Because of this prospect and the
existence of several other things
like 1t, there ought to be some thot
given to the question of a general
national policy. In other words,
am OF the opinion that the congress
and the several state legislatures
ought to keep their feet on the
ground instead Of jumping off the
deep end when there is no boat in
which to ride. see no profit in
cutting off my nose just to spite
my face. There is just as little sense
to that as selling out to the vested
interests"
There is something to the argu-
rnent in favor of regulation of great
chains of stores. It can be truth
fully said that they exert a lot of
pressure on the independent. They
deny this, of course, and answer
that there is no pressure. Their
statement may be true insofar as It
may mean that the chain store has
made no calculated plan to drive
the independent out of existence.
Yet, their very bigness is, of itself,
a pressure because they can buy in
larger quantities and obtain lower
cost prices than the individual who
buys a few cases of canned goods at
a time. When they buy at lower
prices, they can sell at lower prices
and the independent finds himself
hard put to meet the competition.
That sort of thing happens in ev-
cry community where chain stores
are in operation It will continue
to happen, because there is not a
man nor a woman who will say
honestly that he or she will pay a
higher price simply because the
store at home is owned by some
body who is a local citizen I am old

Problem Of Separating
Crooks from Honest People


Crooks from Honest People
Now, there may be sound reasons
for a city council to bar anybody
from selling direct. At the mo-
ment, I do not know of any. Yet,
according to the reports received by
the federal trade commission, there
was small town out in Wyoming
which actually convicted some boys
from the neighboring farms and
sentenced them to Jail because they
violated the city law, by selling di-
rect to the householders in the town.
That town ought to have a very red
face, it. seems to me. e.
I said that there were certain
types of canvasserS ought to be
barred. I refer to the racketeers
who scour the country in crews,
selling this or that or the other;
who are here today and gone to-
morrow, and who many times leave
a wake of dishonest dealings, in
suits and sometimes plain thievery.
Of course, there ought to be punish
ment of that type. But why punish
the honest ones by placing them in
the same category as the crooks.
The problem becomes one Of sepa-
rating the crooks from the legit-
mate people, but your demagogue
will not do that, whether that dema-
gogue be a member of congress, a
member of the state legislature or q
member of the city council.
This Green River ordinance
hysteria is being promoted by some
outfit which, it appears from the
federal trade commission informa-
ton, goes from town to town and
operates campaigns for passage of
such a law. Those fellows make
money out of their campaigns. The
local merchants pay the bill. For
the life of me, can not see where
they are any better than the agents
of the direct sellers whom they are
seeking to prohibit, because the
agents make profit. I must cor
rect that last statement. The agents
of the direct sellers are different.
Usually, especially the legitimate
agents, live in towns in their terri
tory and pay their taxes and buy
their human needs there. The pro-
meters run the campaign, take
their profit and scoot.
The Kennewick courier-reporter and the White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1938-1939, 1938-12-22
All Factors in Situation
Need Careful Consideration

suppose that some of the things
I have said in this analysis Of a ma
tional problem will make me as
popular as q skunk with some local
merchants. I believe, however, that
there are two sides to the argument
and that there must be moderation
in dealing with the hobgoblins that
are built up for selfish reasons,
either political selfishness or for
monetary gain.
Hence, I argue that the country
and its legislative bodies must look
at all factors involved in the situa-
ton. Hysteria and demagoguery go
hand in hand with the demagogue
leading and capitalizing on the cir
cumstances he has created. II It
can be shown where the brush sales
man or the salesman for the floor
sweeper or the home remedy sales
men are welding q bad influence
upon the life of the nation, prohibit
them as is done many places with
the saloon. IF it can be shown that
the vast majority of the people get
no benefits from chain stores and
that the chain stores damage the
national life, get rid of them or reg
ulate them closely. My thought
continues to be, however, that there
must be moderation in legislation.
