Nobody knows how much II cos'e ~
support the tipping system as ~"
exists in the United States. Estima.o.
carefully made by officers OF commerce.
travellers associations indicate that ..ie
American drummer each year cont1'o-
utes $4,000 900 in tips to walters. porteis,
bell boys, chambermaids and for cnechihs
privileges. It is estimated by Organic
ton oflacers that travellers. SUCH as auu'-
tors. adjusters, mechanical experts ana
inspectors tip q total Of 100000 year.
This so ,000,O 900, or 100000 q MONTH
represents only estimates based on STATS
ticai inquiry, but. as Is obvious to every
well informed man, 1t does not begin 10
represent the total amount Of tips pafo
out. In the United States the people
travel for pleasure more than they DO
in any other country in the world. and
travellers on pleasure bent naturally UP
more generously than do business travel
ers Then, too there Is that even great
er number Of persons who tip. but do not
travel-the patrons Of restaurants ana
lunchrooms, of BARRIERS and >eabmen. In
the absence Of trustworthy data II is
impossible for a. body to say now mucn
the tipping system costs. The only tnins
that can be said of this aspect OF the
problem is that it costs a great deal more
than it did ten years ago. or even hve
years ago. A decade ago the dime was
an acceptable gift, where now the quar-
ter is all but scorned.
The first economic effect of the modern
complex tipping system was the reduction
or in many Instances the entire abolition
of wages. This forced the tip taker 10
depend almost absolutely upon his tips
for his living, and therefore developed
general system of compulsion and CO.
ercion which leaves but little choice to
the public in the matter of giving tips.
Now another economic effect-as great,
if no a greater evil-begins to appear

Wages Of Travellers
Are Being Affected.

their organizations declare that their en-
ployers no longer are willing to admit as
legitimate items in their expense &C
counts tips as large as are exacted by the
hotel servants and others with whom
they come in contact. Their employers
are beginning to do the same thing that
the employers of the walters and porters
have done heretofore-to cut salaries. The
travelling man is told in one way or an
other by his employer that an increased
expense account means decreased sal
airy. In other words, the drummer for
manufacturing or a wholesale mercantile
establishment is forced to bear as per-
sonal burden the constant increase in the
amount of money required for tips.
For long time the United States gov
eminent declined to admit as legitimate
items of an expense account OF an oHcer
travelling on government business any
moneys expended for tips. Finally, how
ever the government recognized that II
was utterly impossible for it's employees
to travel without tipping. and the lnJus-
tice of excluding such items from the ex-
pense account became apparent SEIZED
ules for tipping were adopted in various
departments and items OF money expend-
ed for tips reported In expense accounts
must conform to these schedules. The
schedules vary in the different depart
ments
The schedule Of tips allowed officers OF
the army and navy may be taken as a
typical example. Any experienced trav-
eler who will carefully note the sums al
lowed for tips to army and navy officers
will readily understand why it is that
soldiers and sailors are adverse to long
trips even when undertaken at govern
ment expense. The present army and
navy tip schedule was adopted in 1907.
1t admits of a charge of so cents a day
for tips, or $3.50 a week If the officer
stops at the same hotel for as long as a
week. 1t allows 80 cents day while
travelling on a railway train provided
that not more than - cents shall be ex-
pended on trip of less than fve-hours'
duration. How one is to tip the dining
car waiter three times a day. and then
remember the sleeping car porter on a
total Of only 80 cents the government
does not undertake to explain.

Courts Language Quoted.

The brief quotes this language from the
courts opinion. by Chief Justice Valiant:
"On the whole, the evidence shows that
the International Harvester Company has
not used it's power to Cypress or injure
the farmers who are it's customers"
Also from a separate opinion Of Judge
Franklin Ferris of st. Louis as follows:
In this case the court is required by
the statute to pronounce judgment OF
condemnation on a combination which is
proved by the facts in this record to
have been so far beneficial to the COM
munity that the price of now
ers and reapers has not been raised In
proportion to the increased cost of ma
terials and labor, and that otherwise IN
cidental benefits have accrued to the con-
sumers: and furthermore. that indepen-
dent manufacturers have not suffered by
reason of the combination.
Referring to the fine, the company says
it will oppose it, mot so much because of
it's amount as because of the fact. as is
contended, that SO large a fine will create
the impression that the company has
been unfair or oppressive in it's dealings,
and therefore deserved so severe pun
ishment, while the language of the
courts opinion is to the contrary.
