Show YOU CAN'T BLAME HIM. Just as a child counts without question on tho ser'v'co of its Mother, and doesn't dream of repayment till mother is gone, so tho newspapers of tho building west have been imposed on. Compelled to pay cash for every element that enters into tho making of the paper, committed to tho support of every worthy interest and the advancement of every respectable enterprise, thoy aro constantly used and shamelessly abused by tho people who owe them tho most, and pay them the least. As a rule, tho newspapers accept tho hipo-crisy hipo-crisy of sycophants who want help, and make no complaint when the sycophant adds treason to his cussednp-3, and fattens the non-resident competitor oi tho paper that has served him. But ojice in a while there rises the healthy word of protest. And hero is one of them from tho Ogdon Examiner: I Am for Utah. I Believe in Utah-Made Utah-Made Goods. I Trade at Home. I Boost for Homo Trade. I Am Opposed to Sending Send-ing Money Out of the State fpr Things That Can Bo Purchased at Home. I am but what's tho use everybody knows what I am, and- if they do not they can look at tho bill boards or write to eastern concerns where I send my money. I Am tho Bill Board Builder. I Am tho Man Who Buys Buttons in New Jersey to Boost for Utah. I Am the Pay Roll Builder for Eastern Factories. I am known as tho Utah Manufacturers' association asso-ciation and the theme of my song is: Spend Your Money at Home. Of course you must not do as I do, but do as I toll you. If you do not spend H your money at homo how arri I going to H buy buttons and lithographs in tho east? H If I cannot convince you that you should 'H leave your money with me I will not bo H able to plaster your city with unsightly H bill boards and decorate your lapels wltn s iH booster buttons made 3,000 miles from H Utah. iH You must be consistent whether I iH am or not. Otherwise there will bo H nothing doing in the way of beautiful JM bill boards of tho latest importation. 'H Of course you understand that these H newspapers of Utah aro boosting for tho H state all the time and that they aro al- H ways ready to devote free spaco to any H proposition for the general good. That H is tho reason why I can afford to send jH your monoy out of the state. jH Tho newspapers aro giving Utah its H greatest publicity without price. There- H fore, I am tho Bill Board Builder and the B Button Buyer, sometimes known as tho B Utah Manufacturers' association and the H Salt Lake Commercial club. H More than any other one agency not ex-' HP copting capital, individual initiative or personal', M enterprise, in spite of forbidding local condi-, H tions or a general sentiment of hostility the H newspapers have made this mountain country H tho place of prosperity and tho home of happi- H noss which we find it today. Every dollar spent for making known tho advantages of Utah should H bo spent with established newspapers, first be- . cause that way lies simple justice; and second! H because the effect can here be obtained for less fl money than through any other agency devised ; by man. 'H Good business and fair dealing both aro ! offended by tho catchpenny schemes whose name: H is legion, and who ride deadhead on the wagon H tho newspapers are pulling frdm desert to do-' volopment. H And you gentlemen who aro working for JM tho state's advancement have a right to think it |
