MORE LAWS; MORE JOBS
Thoughtful citizens, regardless of political affilia
tions, are beginning to sense the menace presented by the
grovsfth of (Government departments, bureaus, boards,
commissions and other agencies for the regulation of
every detail of our daily lives.
This menace is two-fold. It menaces our liberties
and it menaces our material welfare through forcing us
to support an armv of useless officials. Every new law
which is suggested by the professional reformer and
busybody is designed to add to this army of political job
holders The burden .s becoming intolerable.
This is particularly true in business and industrial
life, in which the harassment of reputable citizens at the
whims of politicians has about reached the limit of endur
ance. Speaking to the American Bar Association on this
subject some time ago, Mr. Justice Sutherland of the
United States Supreme Court said:
“Ne er before have the business activities of the peo
ple been so beset and bedeviled with vexatious statutes,
prying commissions and governmental intermeddling/’|
Judge Johnson of Idaho observes that “the appetite j
for minding other people’s business grows by what it
#aods on, and the result is a swarm of agents, inspectors,
detectives and nosey “Meddling Matties” going about
the country harassing, annoying, worrying and bulldoz-j
ing the people.”
Still the busy bodies are clamoring for more laws,
more bureaus and more investigations, because these
mean more political job-holders at the expense of the
taxpayers.
During the Spanish-American War, every soldier
was a volunteer. In the Civil War, volunteers numbered
62 per cent, while in the World War it was 36.
There is no difference between a knocking automo
bile and a knocking merchant; both need overhauling.
As a suggestion to a new source oi income tor rew
ard we wonder if it has ever been considered to let out
a concession for surf-board riding down the new flume.

Just As A Reminder
“THERE IS HARDLY ANYTHING IN THE WORLD
THAT SOME MAN CAN NOT MAKE A LITTLE
WORSE AND SELL A LITTLE CHEAPER, AND
THE PEOPLE WHO CONSIDER PRICE ONLY ARE
THIS MAN’S LAWFUL PREY.’ SOME PEOPLE
KNOW THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING AND THE
VALUE OF NOTHING.”
If we thought for a minute that most of the people in
this community considered price above everything else
we would be advertising cheap merchandising at prices
that would delight the most astute of price sharp shoot
ers; naturally, the matter of quality would therefore
be thrown to the four winds. But we believe otherwise.
We are certain that most of the people realize that cheap
merchandise is the most . expensive. We feel ...that while
they are naturally interested in the price, they are more
concerned about getting the most value for their money.
And because we arp sure that we are giving our custom
ers the most for their money, it is a pleasure for us to ad
vertise through the .columns of this paper. Our men’s
furnishing department has .only been in .operation for
four months. It therefore follows that our stock is of the
very latest style and is ALL NEW.
