COUNTY OPTION
Minnesota Senate "Tenperance' Committee
Nearly Unanimous With Brewers.

today. Yesterday the committee on
temperance delivered the first blow by
voting 8 to l for indefinite postpone
ment. Today the knockout came on
adoption of majority report for in
definite postponement, the funeral
dirge being to- the tune of 36 to %.
Senator A S. Campbell, of Austin,
chairman of the committee on temper
ance, presented the majority report for
indefinite postponement. Senator Ell
we'll of minneapolis presented the
minority report, giving favorable rec.
ommend alton for the measure.
Senator L. O. Thorpe of Willma1
begged for at least short time more
of life for the measure by asking thai
both reports be temporarily tabled tc
be taken up later. He demanded &
call Of the senate and then a roll call

motion and the bill, % against, a.

Senator Thorpe then moved the mi

adopted. This failed by q vote OF 3

Senator Works.
The house committee is still holdin
hearings on the bill, and it will b
fought out in the lower house, but th
senate's attitude makes the success {

ments marshalled by the opposition.
The committee adjourned, however,
without hearing the final arguments of
the opposition, until Friday of this
week, when without any effort at all
to get crowd the house was again
fairly we'll filled and final arguments
were heard. In the meantime, how
ever, 1.-The same bill had been intro
duced in the senate, was acted upon
by the senate committee and reported
out for indefinite postponement by a
vote of 8~to l in committee of
Mr.. Elwell, of Hennepin county, being
the member who voted against the in
definite postponement, submitted a
minority report and moved it's adop-
tion as substitute for the majority
report. A motion was made to table;
call of the house was demanded and
a roll call upon the question, which
resulted in tabling the minority report
by vote of 81 to Il, four members
being absent. The majority report
for. indefinite postponement was then
adopted by vote of 36 to %.
This really was the funeral of the
county option measure, although the
fight, will be continued in. the House
for the purpose of getting a roll call,
which, however, will be of little value
now, as the members. opposed to the
measure will "save their face" by vot.
ing for it, since they know it is doomed
to death in the upper House. 81: ,.>s zs<s

PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION
ELECTS OFFICERS
Orga nizn tion's Aim Is TO Prevent
Unworthy Persons Receiving
Credit at Stores.

The regular annual meeting OF the
Merchants Protective Association OF
Josephine County was held at the
First National bank parlors Monday
afternoon when officers for the ensu-
ing year were elected as follows:
President, H. L. Truax.
Vice. president, A. Z. Voorhies.
Treasurer. II. l.. Gilkey.
Board of directors, Chairman, the
president, r Thomas, r. L. Coe, II.
G. Bobzien, R. L. Wilson, E. p
Dixon, Geo. Riddle.
The above association has been in
existence one year aud has proved
itself Of great benefit to the members
in securing protection against those
who run up bills at various stores
and make no provision for the pay
ment Of accounts. The object OF the
association as set forth in the coDsti-
tuition. "shall be the protection Of its
mem bers against financial losses aris-
ing from extending credit to any
debtor who has proven himself un-
worthy Of credit for the protection of
the consumer who may be worthy of
credit"
In every city there are those who
make business OF securing credit at
one store until credit is refused and
then the party commences to trade at
another store as loug as credit will
be extended, and by the time he has
reached his limit at all OF the stores
several new firms have been estab-
lished in town who do not know his
reputation o. he moves to another
town where the same program is car
ried out 80 far as possible. 1t is for
protection against this class Of people
that the association was organized
and not to make it hsrdes for the
worthy person to receive credit. The
elimination Of the professional dead
beat from the ranks OF the consumer
will make it possible for thhe bust
ness man TO extend credit where the
favor will not be taken advantage OF
and will stop one Of the greatest
sources Of loss which the business
man is called ON to face.
1t ispossible shat some names may
be placed on the unfsvorsble list
through inability TO make settlement
or owing to q disputed account, but
any trouble may be avoided by con-
ferring with the secretary, as it is
not the intention Of any member of
the association to work hardship on
any person who is worthy of receiving
credit.
