Woodland Daily Democrat from Woodland, California • Page 4

WHY WE SHOULD BUY AT HOME to Dissident Who Addressed the "Democrat" to Assert His Right to Trade Where He Pleases Because we have deemed it proper to call attention from time to time to the tact that, all things being equal, It is the duty of Woodland people, In making their Christmas purchases, to give the Woodland business men the preference, a subscriber writes to mild, ly protest that it is none of our business where makes his purchases. Of course everybody should understand that whatever we have written i ou this subject is in the nature of suggestion and is our Individual opinion, given for what it is worth, but it is based on such unanswerable logic that nobody has ever attempted to controvert it- So far the argument has all been, on one side, for obvious reasons, for there does not appear to" be but one side and those who refuse to be convinced have neither logic nor reason to offer iu defense of their attitude. Advocates of the trade-at-home principle have argued the question from every angle without eliciting any reply, and it la a fair presumption that there is no answer to make other than that nobody has a right to suggest how other people should spend money honestly acquired. The residents of Woodland are mutually dependent upon each other. Nothing permanent or substantial can be accomplished unless this principle is recognized.

These conditions make it possible to sustain schools, churches, public institutions for the public good and to make public improvements that are essential to convenience and welfare. These things cannot be doue without mutual interest and earnest co-operation. Even those who are not actively engaged in business but who establish a residence here for social reasons, or to obtain the advantages of our educational facilities and to be convenient to places of worship, owe a duty to the churches, the schools, good government and society that they tauuot afford to disregard. Let us suppose that their sole Interest Is In our schools. These educational Institutions jtro a tax upon the community.

Every person engagec in business is taxed directly or indirectly to sustain them. Every dollar expended away from home for things that can he purchased of home merchants decreases the taxable property and the capacity of the home merchan to pay taxes just that much. The same line of reasoning applies with equal force to those who are interested In Make the application in another way. It a church, a society or a fraternal organization feels the necessity for help, to whom is the first appeal for help made? Nobody ever thinks of applying to a San Francisco or a Sac- ramonto merchant for a subscription for such purposes. Nobody ever thinks of offering to sell tickets far a church, "raternal, educational or social benefit he people engaged in business else- vhere.

If there is to be a church fair the local business man is asked for a doim- ion. If there is to-be a school benefit, if some society or organization, school, church or social, feels the need replenishing its trBasury the home merchant is expected to buy tickets, and those who are enterprising, public- spirited and deserve to succeed invariably do it. some poor family is in distress the merchants are generally among the first to respond to the appeal for relief. Did anybody ever hear of a Sacramento or San Francisco merchant being taxed to maintain our municipal affairs? Can anybody recall that any of them ever voluntarily subscribed to the support of our schools, churches or other local institutions? Will anybody deny that money expended with local dealers continues In circulation at home through the various avenues of trade? Can anybody show how It is possible for a dollar of Woodland money spent In a San Francisco retail establishment to fine its way back to this city? 1 It Is no answer to say that Woodland merchants do not keep what yoi; want. They will if they can find a sale for it and if you demauc it, or else they will be compelled to give way to men who are more pro gresslve and who have better business sagacity.

It is of benefit to the whole community to support and encourage every legitimate local public Interest and Ii affects injuriously the ally to divert local patronage to out side establishments that bear none burdens of direct and indirect tax ation. We therefore renew our appea to local readers of the "Democrat 1 to trade at home, not during tin. holiday season but at all other times and thus help and strengthen those upon whom all our local institution must rely for maintenance and devel opment. THE MORTGAGE FUKD BENEFIT Everything is In readiness for the mortgage fund benefit to be given at the Elite theater Tuesday afternoon. Managers Hunt and Wenzel, of the Elite and Central theaters, respectively, have combined forces and the result will be a program that will be well worth hearing.

The public should bear In mind that no regular admission will be charged. Each person pays whatever amount he or she desires to contribute as they enter the door. Every cent will go to relieve the burden of a poor widow woman and her children who are trying to raise a mortgage of $GOO. Members of the various fraternal orders have interested themselves in the matter, and doubtless there will be a big attendance, and a liberal response to this worthy appeal. There will be several performances, the first of which is scheduled to commence at 1:30 o'clock.

The program Is as follows: Piano solo Howard Parker Moving Pictures (Kindness Central Theater) Illustrated Song Arthur Harris (Kindness Central Theater.) Cornet Solo I. Leake Miss Fern DeMyer, accompanist. Moving Pictures (Kindness Elite Theater.) Illustrated Song Amasa Craig (Kindness Elite Theater.) German Song Otto Beaudstetter Miss Minnie Prior and Jas. H. Hester have kindly volunteered their services at the piano.
