Washington. d. c.. June 10.-(Special
Correspondence of The Argus This
city swarms with politicians of high
and low degree, for about every Office
holder-and there are thousands OF
them-feels capable of settling the al
fairs of the nation. The great anxiety
of these lesser political lights who have
been long in the public service is To Sc.
cure a pension to retire upon instead OF
being unceremoniously bounced for in
competency through age or other cause
Most of the Oldest of these public serv-
ants are republicans who came into
the departments during, or soon after,
the close of the war, and but few ever
passed a civil service examination. nor
could many of them if put TO the test
Nearly all those who would be retired
for age or incompetency have saved
but little and many of them have 9th
ers dependent upon them who will I'M
doubtedly suffer privations if the wage
Garner loses his or her place.
1t is a serious dilemma that confronts
the American people as to the future
aof their civil servants, and as the next
congress will probably be called upon
to deal with this issue, the taxpayers
of the country should instruct their rep
resentatives either for or against a
civil pension law. To begin paying
civil pensions to old or decrepit civil
servants. even in the most moderate
way of half their present salaries, will
be quite a tax upon the people. But
the more unfortunate fact is that eX-
perience has taught us that the con-
slant pressure that will be brought to
bear on congress will undoubtedly lead
to the increase of such pensions and
vastly enlarge the number of the PEI
sioners. The people of the United
States have generally approved the
civil service law, and civil pensions are
but the inevitable outcome, if the life
tenure of Office is to be continued
Compassion for the aged and infirm
naturally leads one to favor their pen
siOning, but from a democratic stand
point the creation of a civil pension
list is placing a burden on the present
and future generations that should not
be borne.

Jobbers Losing Ground.

We believe the jobber who refuses
to handle goods in any case until an
unusual demand for them has been
created-perhaps not thcn-is losing
ground. The retailer is practically
forced to handle goods for which
there is demand in his territory, and
if he cannot get them through one
jobber, he will go to another, no mat
ter how close his own jobber may be
to him. The minute retailer does
this, he begins to divide his trade
he has broken the ice" of trading ex-
clusively with one jobber or set of
jobbers and no one can tell of whom
he will be buying goods in another
wear 1t has been demonstrated to us
repeatedly that the jobber who will
handle or ship any goods for which
there is demand, even tho he may
have private brands of his own, stands
much closer to the retail trade than
the house which constantly tries to
substitute private brands and refuses
to handle any manufacturers goods
until practically compelled to do so,
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1907-12-28

quired a foothold sufficient for tine
jobbcr to want OF handle them a few
of them may be said to cooperate
with the manufacturer, rather than
antagonize him, giving their custom
ers free choice between their own
brands and other manufacturers
goods
Others will attempt persistently 10
have the retailer take the private
brands. instead of the goods he de-
sires. Still others will substitute their
own brands for goods which have
been ordered, or, if they do not wish
to go quite that length, will make the
substitution of other goods than their
own, which they have been carrying.
This applies to orders received
through their own statesmen There
are few jobbers who do not give Or
ders received from manufacturers
statesmen even this consideration. 1t
is their practice to accept many OF
these orders which they have no in
tcntion Of filling. They place the or
ders on file, beyond that utterly ignor-
ing them, offering no explanation in
any direction. The retailer, waiting
patiently for his goods, feels that in
some way the manufacturer is to
blame.

Unions feared to run counter to it.
Had it been an order from the state
of Montana, they would have
their tongues in their checks, winked
the other eye and passed it up like

they didn't quite do that A good
many things were involved in the
dispute between the Bell Telephone
company. They were all settled APP

come in with sine qua none to final
adjustment in the shape of demand
that the company go into court and

tanned by them restraining the unions
from interfering with the company's
property be vacated The company
wouldn't do it. OF course it wouldn't.
Why should it? If the unions intend
ed to live up to the terms of that or
der which contain nothing iinmical

unions like the capitalists have gone
too far, much too far and between the

JOBBER VS.. MANUFACTURER
WHICH IS RIGHT?

The manufacturers of goods for the
grocery trade more and more each
year are going direct to the retailer
with their wares, and more and more
are ignoring the jobber. In the first
place, there always have been jobbers
who refuse absolutely to have any
thing to do with goods which are not
staple, or for which there is not wide
demand. Secondly, in recent years j
great many jobbers have been going
into the manufacturing more or less
extensively on their own account, or
at least are having certain kinds of
goods put up under their private
brands
The manufacturer points out that he
was compelled to go direct to the re-
taller in the first place, because of the
jobbers' refusal to handle his goods
He advertises and pushes his goods
by various devices and in time builds
up direct business with the large re-
tailers, on whom principally he con-
centrates his energies. By and by
demand for Lis goods begins to reach
the small retailer.
s.. Constant Fighting.
Partially, in retaliation, the jobbers
a number of years ago, began to enter
the manufacturing business on their
own account. More and more they
are coming to have brands of their
own of many kinds of goods and with
which they are seeking entirely to
supplant other manufacturers brands
Within the last few years, jobbers' as
sociations have been formed all over
the country having for their principal
purpose the. destruction of the manu-
faeturer- who persists. in selling direct
to the retailer after his goods have &C.

sAMUELs SECURES OPTION
Control Of Alameda to Be Traded for
Success Stock

Since the foregoing was put in
type the following dispatch was re-
ceived by the Times:
BUTTE, Mont, April 24.-Special.
1t was announced this evening
that Fl. F. Samuels, chief owner of
the Success mine, had been given a
30 days option ON a controlling in
terest In the stock of the Alameda
company by Mayo, Sachs & Co. of
this city. Further than this, those
prominently connected with the ne
gotiations looking to merger of the
properties had nothing to say.
This option is taken to mean by
mining men of this city that the Ala
media has passed to the control of the
Success company. 1t is stated unof-
hcially this evening that the option
for the control of the Alameda
means an exchange of four shares of
Alameda for one of the Success, CIV
Ing an earning capital to the Ala
media stock of about 10 per cent.
based upon Its $1.500,0OO capitaliza-
tion. ri
Mr.. Samuels stated this evening
that the Alameda embodies a work
OF such extent that 1t could be rated
as mine. 1t is understood that the
2O0-ton Success concentrator will be
enlarged as soon as machinery can
be installed to 60O-ton capacity.
and the milling of the Alameda ores
will be begun.
Mr.. o. H. Linn also received
wire from Mr.. Samuels saying that
deal had been made but did not
mention anything about the 80 day
option. Mr.. Linn is inclined to
think that the deal is consumated.
