 Concerning Trading Stamps.
 A bill of general importance was intro dueed in the senate this morning by Sem ator Hipp of Cunman, calculated to pro- hibit the system of merchants trading stamps or checks. The bill was referred to the Judiciary committee. It places a license of S1000 on those using the system. Some favorable comment is being made on the measure and Senator Hipp claims the bill will meet the approval of three fourths of the retail merchants and sass that the trading check system is a nefa- rious business. which creates a mercan- tile trust; an octopus, in which many peo- pie fall unsuspecting victims and, oe- sides, the practice is detrimental to the conservative mercantile interests. Sem ator Hipp is very active in any measure which he champions and it is likely he will insist upon the passage of this meas ure.
