Municipal Plans Seem to Have
Reached the Overdone Stage.
At this time, when municipal au-

money of the taxpayers in the estao-
lishment of public markets, and in the
creation of facilities for the handling
of merchandising operations, to De
utilized by competitors of the regular
merchants, without giving adequate
return in the way of rentals, the fol
lowing reply, returned by the lord
mayor of Sydney, Australia, to a com
mittee which waited upon him asking
the free use of the streets for the sale
of fruits, etc., is worthy of considera-
ton, and of commentator:
1T is stated that the project is de-
signed to do away with that bad fell
low, the middleman. But if you get
down to bedrock, the plain English OF
the proposition is that the promoters
think that by using the streets of sgd

in a favored position, enabling them
to compete at a great advantage with
those who have to pay rates and carry
on within the four walls of a building,
for the use of which they have to pay
a pretty stiff rent. AS well might the
butter merchant or any other vendor
of goods proclaim from the housetops
that he could sell at from Is to 20
per cent cheaper if he were only pro-
vided with the facilities rent free"
There is very little doubt that mu-
nicipal marketing schemes being ex-
plotted in this country have reached
the overdone stage, representing an
outlay of money wrested from the tax
payers from which neither the pro-
Queer nor the may hope to
reap commensurate advantages. The
way in which the Australian official
portrays the situation might with
profit be brought more forcibly to the
attention of authorities at home.

that we read OF some unfortunate who
has concluded to end life's troubles by
swallowing bichloride. The human
mind is subject TO suggestion. Tn

Of n Georgia banker who took bichlo-

ton only caused them 20 turn "a. this
easy and handy poison instead OF a
more difficult method Of ending life.
However this may be. il IS evident
that We need In the United States
more vigorous supervision Of the sale
and use OF poison. II is not AT all diff
ficult for any adult person 10 obtain
any quantity OF poison in any city OF
