Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lynn Review: September, 1917 Lynn needs a new charter. Do all trading you possibly can with Lynn merchants. Sept.1 - 1127th day of the greatest war the world ever knew. The Kaiser´s greatest ally in the United States is Politics! The three Rs of peace with Germany - Reparation, Restitution, Restoration. Our idea of complete inefficiency is a Metropolitan police officer directing traffic. If you think government taxes are irksome, think what it would be with the Kaiser collecting tolls in this country! About every important country in the world, save the U. S., is well nigh bankrupt. What is the world coming to? Had Lynn not been abused we would have civic pride to a greater extent, prosperous shoe industry, and 150,000 population. Some day the Kaiser may receive no divine co-operation. This is likely to infuriate him so that he will give notice that the partnership has been dissolved. As might have been expected, the Federal Trade Commission in Lynn some two months ago, investigating the local coal conditions, stated that the prices on coal, in this vicinity, have been maintained throughout the war at a reasonable figure. Lynn dealers have not in any way taken advantage of war time conditions. The public market scheme is likely to be a temporary affair, but in the meantime, while it is being carried through, the retail dealer is the principal sufferer. It is probable, too, that the farmer does not find the business a profitable one. There ought to be some plan developed by which farm produce could be brought to market cheaply and sold through the retail dealer. One way to bring about a solution of the difficulty would be for more buyers of the retail merchant to carry home their purchases themselves. Another step in the. right direction would be for the retail merchant to sell for cash only. At present the latter has too much overhead charge and altogether too many bad debts. Discussing the matter with several members of the constitutional convention, they reported much satisfaction with the speech delivered by Judge Lummus of Lynn regarding the initiative and referendum. The Judge brought forward many new points which must have made a powerful impression upon the wavering members of the convention, especially those who had not made up their minds how they would vote upon the question and who were receptive to arguments. Judge Lummus´ speech gave him a reputation which extends all over Massachusetts and will undoubtedly tend to bring him more in the political limelight. One of the strongest planks in Governor McCall´s platform was the promised elimination of the useless commissions that infest the State House in Boston, yet Governor McCall reappointed a Democrat to the office of fire commissioner which costs the state over $30,000 a year and which, in the opinion of experts, is an absolutely worthless encumbrance on the state of Massachusetts. Nothing more clearly illustrates property depreciation in Lynn than the disposal, last month, of a lot on lower Washington street for $15,000 which was assessed by the city at $50,000.
