patronize Home nterehants.

For several years there have been
springing up in our midst mail-orders
houses with their soap clubs and other
various bargains presented in al at
tractive mannei to allure the dollars
from the consumer, and away from the
local dealer This business because of
its attractive features has drawn away
from the local dealers business in quite
large volume which rightfully belongs
to the retail dealer. Heretofore try as
they might, our merchants have not
been able to compete with this growing
menace to their trade as we'll as to the
prosperity of our own home town.
We repeat right here that when peo-
pie will uphold the local merchants by
patronizing them to The exclusion of
all mail-order or soap club schemes,
they are assisting in making better
town of Wauwatosa in many, many
ways. If the local merchants are
prosperous, we have better schools in
which to educate our children. We
have better markets for our grain and
produce; better facilities for shipping
the products from our town, and other
goods into our town, better streets,
better water work system and in fact
better in every way. This means the
increasing of valuation of our proper
ty also.
Are we furthering these much de-
sired ends by annually sending away
from our town hundreds of dollars to
mailorder and soap club houses in the
large cities who never spend a single
dollar for the benefit of our town.

breaks in the canal banks. There are
dependent on the canal for power eight
large and small cotton mills.
While the food was at its height five

TO the Southern railway burned in
Hamburg, just across the river. Nixon's
huge quantity of lumber belonging to
the Georgia railway at the Georgia rail-
way yards also burned. The Augusta
railway and electric company can not
run its cars for three days.
No power plant is in operation. the
telephone lines are not doing business,

gers the water service is crippled but
intact, the gas company is impaired
but not shut down.
There have been 10 to I5 drownings,

jOBBERS WANT TO
fNDD|SCRIMINATION
Association Desires to interest
Shippers in Suit Against
Two Railroads

Active steps are being taken by the
Pacific coast jobbers' and manufac-
turers' association to interest all local
shippers and jobbers in the suit re-
Gently brought by the association
against the Southern Pacific and Santa
Fe railways before the interstate COM
merce commission. The object of the
suit is to bring TO an end the alleged
against jobbers of this city and Los
Angeles. and If successful in this the
association will follow it with SINH
lar suit before the state railroad COM
mission referring to shipments within
the state.
Our suit has been misunderstood in
some quarters, and an attempt has been
made to discourage jobbers from join
ing with us" said President A. c.
Rulofson of the jobbers' and manufac-
turers' association yesterday.
The charge we make against the
railroads is that the collection of $3.50
per car. which the railroads make for
switching cars 70 industry tracks
that is. to private sidings and switches
reaching warehouses and factories-is
unlawful and discriminatory, both as
to- localities and commodities. Such
charges as these are not collected in
any important city IN the country eN-
cept San Francisco and Los Angeles,
and no charge is made in any other
coast city.
This means discrimination against
San Francisco and Los Angeles. 1t
means that jobbers here must pay s2.50
more TO have their goods delivered
than under the same rate in any other
city. and it means that they must pay
$3.50 more per car on all outgoing
shipments.
The switching charge as it now
operates in this city means a tax of
about 100000 a year on local jobbers,
for the bulk of all carload shipments
are consigned to the warehouse tracks
These tracks are for the most part
parallel to the main line tracks and of
from 500 TO 500 feet in length.
I'm a New York case the interstate
commerce commission has held that the
placing of cars on such tracks involves
no appreciable additional expense to
the railroads and that it must be done
without extra charge. The present
suit applies only TO interstate busi-
ness, but in case we are successful
as we expect to be-. we will follow it
with suit before the state railroad
commission referring TO local ship
ments."
