WANTS OLD SYSTEM
Marketmaster Favors Selling
Stalls to Bidders.

Sell the stalls at the market house
and make money for the city and salts
fly the market venders," is the advice
of Matchmaker John Taylor when
asked his opinion as TO how the stalls
should be let out. The city, according
to Taylor, could make 5000 by renting
the stalls. According to the market
master the people who sell at the mar
ket want to rent their stalls They hold
that their customers would then know
where to find them. Under the present
system the first vender on the scene
gets his choice of stalls.

The Committee on the State Penal
Farm movement is showing a great
deal of activity in its statewide cam
paign in placing this important meas
ure before the people of the state. The
Committee was presented last Monday
at the office of the State Board or
Charities DreseT 'ng the matter TO the
Special Commission appointed by the
Governor and the commission appoint
ed by the State Board of Charities
Senator Netterville has been sounding
the cry of economy indicating that the
state funds were depleted so that it
may be impossible to establish the
State Penal Farm, but we would res
pectfully remind the Senator this is
an economy movement, saving both
men and money. The committee is
very confident that with the establish
ment of the State Penal Farm the les
SEEMING of expenses in county jails
would many times Offset the expense
incurred in the management of the
farm to say nothing at all of the hui
manitarian reason. One of the great
troubles that men have to overcome
in this age is the disposition to meas
ure benefits in dollars and not in men.
The Commercial Club had an old
| fashioned town meeting last Monday
evening. This is just that kind of meet
ings that do much good. 1t gives an
opportunity to the individual to eX-
press his views before his fellow cit
liens. The club is representative of
all the various elements of the city,
and while Mt may seem that different
sections and different elements might
have different interests, these organi-
cations are only secondary to the gen
eral good of the whole city, which is
the primary principal for which the
club stands. If We were going to add
some new departments OF the Club we
would suggest an Agricultural De-
pa rtment in which we could secure
m membership among the farmers, and
an Automobile Depa rtment in which
automobile owners might have an or
ganiZation. The reason We suggest an
Automobile organization is because
other cities have automobile associa-
tons that work together for better
roads in conjunction with the A. A A
and we believe that such a department
in the Commercial club would be ben
ehcial to the city.
