TALK S ABOUT PAIN 7
HOW TO BUY PAINT AND PAINT
MATERIALS.
Or. Moreman hits the Contract Sys.
TEN. The last of the paint
papers.

There are two ways of buying paint
In the bucket or on the wall. Which
means intelligent purchase against
ne contract system.
The contract method is the lazy
nsan's method aud he usually pays tn
price,
The owner of a building decides TO
paint. He gots several bids" from
painters for the completed job, and
rs dollars look big 20 him he takes
she lowest offer. He thinks the man
who bid high was trying to skin"
aim. Now the probilitity is that the
highest bidder was nearer right than
the other fellow. But the low priced
nan wanted the job and he know
that was the way TO get it.
Having got the contract he finds
ttat if he does II according TO agree
nent he must sacrifice n part OF his
profits. Now no man likes To give
mp part of his legitimate earnings.
Beast of all a painter whose earnings
are small at best. What will he do
about it. He can't afford to loose
any portion of his earnings. His fam.
NV need them all,
Say his contract calls for 200 lbs.
sf Carriers lead. lie buys 100 lbs.
and buys 100 lbs. of all wool-and-a-
yard-wide guaranteed strictly pure
stuff that Is labelled. white lead"
and that Is nearly pure barytes. The
p%aintcr doesn't know what barytes
is. He is fooled by the claims that
are made for ii because he wants To
10 fooled, When he buys oil he
snows he is getting a cheap oil. but
il ia labelled "Linxeed OIL" Now he
nixes his paint and thins it all he
can and spreads IL as far as he can.
sometime later the property-owner
ra'les up to the fact that his job isn't
q very good one, and he says, Paint
sat what il used to be lie got
mst what was coming to him and by
all logical reasoning he should have
expected it.
have no doubt that there are paint
crs who take contracts with The inten
zion of filing them honestly but they
ave NOT low bidders.
hrt why contract and thus tempt
the man to cheat you. Isn't the job
worth a little bit of your time and
esergy,Are you SO busy that you can't
40 to a dealer and buy your mater
ials and know what you are getting.
Isn't that the logical thing to do.
Get your painter to make out "A bill
OF materials for your job. He will or
der the best. you can depend upon
that, if he isn't to pay for them.
| have never yet seen the painter
who would order poor materials if the
house owner paid for them. With

dealer and buy them and get the
things you pay for. You can select
To fit your purse but get what you
pay for. II the job is TO be scamp
ed, scamp it yourself and you will
know just how much It is be-
low par. Don't leave your painting
until tho last minute and then rush it
through. Order your material carly.
Something may be out of stock. It
Will not take you any longer to get
1t than it will take the painter to get
1t.
Above all things do not contract
for n job with a painter who claims
10 be agent" for some mixed paint
house. No high grade mixed paint is
marketed through painters.
If one does decide to have the work
done by contract, and not to give
any personal attention to the mater
ials used, then by all means he
should take the highest bid and not
the lowest. Even If the kind of ma.
terlals are specified in the contract.
take tho highest bid. tho square
man will always bid high.
1t is impossible to tell anything
about paint after ii is mixed or after
1t is spread on the wall. Only time
a show what kind of a job it is.
If Il has contracted a job and LEFT
K all to the contractor until it is
ready for acceptance, he can send
a blind man to inspect 1t and pay the
bill just as well as to make a bluff
of inspecting 1t himself. 1t will look
all right when it is new, even if
poor materials have been used.
This matter of materials is import
ant. The labor is the largest part
of the cost of painting but good mater
ials are more essential 10 a first
class job than skill. | would rather
trust good materials in ordinary hants
than bad materials in skilled hands.
What | am urging is that you buy
the materials yourself. so that you
will know what you are getting. 1t
doesn't cost you anymore. The
painter cannot sell you materials
cheap unless he ~cheapens them. The
prof1t on paint materials is very small
There is no room to cut prices.
Many men think il they buy five or
six dollars worth of paint. the deal
er should throw in "A paint brush,
siH, them a a or so and wait three
Or four months for his pay. There
is mighty little velvet in a paint bill.
Sugar and salt are not sold any close
than lead and oil. | have been asked
TO throw in a brush worth soc on a
sale that didn't pay me CSC net.
If paint stock is sold on that kind
OF basis how can one expect the paint
er to make a low price for material
on a contract job. He can cut the
price on his labor if he chooses but
he cannot afford to do that because
it is his living and not too good a n
often.
Whenever the h%ouseowner sets sev-
eral painters to completing for his
job he is going to get the worst of it.
Some one of these competitive paint
ers will want the job bad enough TO

''Steps have been taken by the
United States government to plat a

Fork on the reservation, half way

in the near future a lot sale will be

lands have already been allotted alo1i

rapidly sought attire by white set
tiers who desire to lease. because of
the ease with which the lease can be
secured Coupled with the fact that
there is no water assessment, no
taxes or money paid out, other than
the cash rental for the Indian hold
ing the land. The leasing of the
lands to white settlers means {
great deal for the future growth OF

TO SURVEY THE STATE.
Government Makes Appropriation 70
Extensive Surveys in Idaho.

Immediate relief is to be given
to the unsurveyed portions of the
state and it is expected that the en-
tire state can be surveyed within
the next ten ,ears. Idaho's devel-
ment and settlement has been re-
tarded by the slowness of the gov
ernment in prosecuting the survey
of public lands. Much of the very
best land of the state is unsur-
veyed Some of this is settled and
cultivated even though patents to
it can not be issued until it is sur
yeyed 1t is such land that will be
given first attention. In speaking OF
this work the Pacific Monthly says:
"A law passed by the last session
OF congress provides for rapid and
extensive land surveys in Idaho, and
it is thought that the entire state
will be surveyed before the exp1ra-
ton of another decade.
Cup to the present time only one
half of the total area of the state
has been officially surveyed, the un-
surveyed portions being chiefly J
northern. western, central and east
ern Idaho. Because of this condl-
ton title has not been secured for
some of the rich lands of the state
that has been settled for thirty yea
Settlers have hesitated to locate !
other parts of the state because
lines were not official and the title
might be indefinitely delayed.
"The new law provides that sur
veys be prosecuted under the direc-
+;o, of +bo state SURVEYOR gener
who will report directly OF the an
thorities at Washington, D. c.,

TEN which proved to be very slow.

House, Friday.


The minority members outwitted
the republicans politically, but in so
doing were compelled to place them
selves in opposition to the demo-
cratic wing of the senate and to
show an unwillingness to reimburse
the citizens of Mackey for money ex-
pended in calling an expert engineer
to inspect and report upon the d.
near that place.
The bill in question was by Glen
non and calls for an appropriation
of $57720 for that purpose. Gallo
way moved to have the bill referred
to the joint investigating committee,
but this was voted down by the re
publicans and one democrat Nor
gan, the minority leader, attacked
the measure as being without /.
more merit than other claims where
in citizens had expended money
opposing actions of the state land
board or in fighting to retain ag
cultural or timber lands claimed by
both resident and state. He moved
that the bill be referred to the ap-
propriations committee. The re-
publicans agreed to this giving the
democrats an advantage.
