FINE ASSESSED
AGAINST FRISCO

A fine of $500 was entered against
the Frisco railway by the Corpora
tion Commission, on account of fail
ure by that railroad to comply with
the order suspending the rule OF the
railroad that tickets must be shown
upon entering trains. The order
was made two months ago. 1t was
ignored by the Frisco. but has been
observed by all the other lines in
Oklahoma. The Frisco prepared to
appeal to the Supreme Court, but
the appeal has not yet been perfect
ed. Hence the fine.
The order in question was made
upon showing that the practice of
railroads in this State had been to
open only one door for the day
coaches of the train and to compel
all passengers to submit their tickets
for examination before entering the
train. Objection was made to the
crush and to the activities of negro
porters in enforcing the rule.

they would be killed, and that in his
opinion the heavy top being up is all
that saved the four of them from
being crushed to death under the
heavy car. The only cause assigned
for the accident is that Or. Yeats was
unaccustomed to driving a heavy
three speed car and did not know
how to handle it. He has formerly
driven light Hupmobile runabout.

''The Inventory is to the stock rec
ord what counting the cash is to
the cash register"
A clerk in retail dry-goods store
sold half a dozen items to customer
for cash. AS he was wrapping up
the order he slipped ten yards OF
silk into the package.
When he rang up the sale on the
cash register It did not include the
ten yards of silk.
The cash register didn't yell
murder" and there was no record
OF the silk removed from stock.
When the owner of the store
counted his cash at night. he found
In his cash register just the amount
which the tape showed should be
there.
He Thought his clerks we're all
honest. He never suspected any
thing to the contrary. Yet this one
clerk was as crooked as the negro
porter's kinky hair.
At least dozen OF the customers
of the store always insisted upon
being waited on by this one clerk.
good salesmanship. In reality, in
this case, it was-something else.
These customers. apparently a.
mong the best customers of the store
came in almost every day. The
amount of goods they took away un-
paid for. and unchanged, however,
much more than ate up the profit on
the goods for which they paid.
AT the end of the year an inven-
tory was taken. But the method
OF taking inventory in this store
wasn't designed to uncover crooked
ness. 1t was only designed to give
the owner of the store rough esti-
mate of the amount of goods on
hand.
The inventory was not checked
against the sales or purchases. No
stock record was kept
About three years after this clerk
was employed the owner of the store
decided that he should have a better
bookkeeping system.
Within a month after the COM
plete system was put in operation
the crockness of the clerk was dis
covered. The loss was estimated at
$4,000 year through the disnon-
esty of this one clerk.
The merchant now takes an inven-
tory four times year and keeps
stock record which enables him to
check his inventories against the
stock he should have on hand. 1t
protects him and his clerks.
His purchase record shows him
the exact amount of stock bought OF
each line and of each division in
each line-shirts of different sizes,
for instance. When goods are sent
from the stock room into the store.
the amount is recorded in the stock
book.
At the end Of three months when
goods in the store are inventoried

v A PRESS COMMENT
Coming To Their Milk

Yerington Times: Uncle. Sam has
about got the goat Of the greatest
hogging corporation in the United
~States--Wells-Fargo & Co. This
company has charged the people of
the Western country the most exor-
bitant rates for carrying parcels that
was ever heard of in any country. 1t
has no taxable property TO speak Of
in any of the thousand and one places
it does business, and il pays no taxes,
unless made to do so by process of law.
Holders of Wells. Fargo stock have
drawn down nice dividends for many
years; in fact the company has almost
been afraid to declare full dividends
for fear somebody would get onto"
the enormous amount of money the
eompanyis earning on shoe string cap
ital. But the parcels post system has
brought Wells, Fargo & Co. to time.
and the company has announced a
sweeping reduction In rates. The
cut, SO it is claimed, will put the COM
pany's rate on a par with the parcel
post rates. In fact rates for local
shipments will be almost the same as
the parcel post, and for longer ship
ments the rate will even be lower
than the parcel post rate. The com
panyi is also responsible for the loss or
damage to packages sent oyerit its line,
whereas Uncle Sam makes If neces-
sary to pay a special fee to insure
packages carried by parcel post. w.
F. & Co. will not be liable to declare
any 60 per cent dividends in the fu-
ture.
