TAX MAIL ORDER HOUSES.
Congressman Declares They Deplete
Population of Towns.

Congressman Declares They DepIete
Population of Towns.
The great American mail order
houses are fast putting the country
merchant out of business, asserts Rep
resentative Hinebaugh, the Illinois
Progressive, who recently inserted in
the Congressional Record in the house
an argument in support Of his bill tax
ing these concerns for rural benefits.
His measure proposes that the reve-
nue. thus raised shall be expended in
building country roads.
Mr.. Hinebaugh says that the de-
crease in village population is due to
the elimination Of local merchants by
mail order competition and that So
cial deterioration Of rural centers is
the net result.
"One mail order house in the city Of
Chicago has siXty-three acres Of floor
space" he says. Another one in the
same city, according to statement
under oath Of its president, made a
net profit Of $17,OOO,OOO on last years
business. A million dollar building is
to be erected by Montgomery Ward &
Co. in Kansas City to duplicate its
present building at Nineteenth and
Campbell streets.
"This mail order corporation Is also
about to enter New York, San Fran
cisco and Portland.
at should be perfectly apparent to
every thinking person that the country
merchant must go out Of business as
the great mail order houses gradually
close down upon the local markets. In
eight Of our great states many towns
have lost population during the last
ten years.
I"It is contended by the friends OF
the mail order houses that as great
economic question the rights of the
consumer and purchaser to buy wher-
ever he can obtain the lowest prices
should not be raised and that if the
extension Of the mail order business
means the elimination Of the country
merchant then the country merchant
must go.
IF such arguments were logically
sound, which do not admit, there is
still the social. moral and religious
view to be considered. The retail mer
chant is the backbone of the country
town. The mail order house is his
worst enemy. The farmers need the
town, and the town must have the
farmers
Representative Hinebaugh concluded
his statement with the assertion that
"the great mail order houses have no
difficulty in underselling the retail
dealer, no matter how much he may
reduce his margin of profit Buying
as they do from prison contractors the
products of convict labor, they secure
many of their manufactured articles at
prices that would be utterly impossible
to obtain if made by free labor. This
source of supply is, of course, not open
to the small retailer even If he was
inclined to avail himself Of 1t"
