FouR WAY PLAN OF
RETAILING DIVIDES
EXPENSE EQUlrAsLN

III the plan reported to be work
ing i'm Madison, Wis, through the
food administration authorities,
can be put in effect generally,
with some variations, according
to local conditions, much of the
retail grocers' difficulties with
regard to differentiating between
cash and carry and credit and de-
livery customers would seem to
be obviated. Under the arrange
ment put into effect there,
through the Governments food
official, the retail grocers are
supposed to charge five cents for
each delivery and make an ad-
ditional charge of three per cent
to credit customers.
Reports have it that there APP
|pears to be a misunderstanding
on the part of the housewives of
Madison over the operation of the
plan, and the grocers are being
criticized by some, as they are
held responsible for it's installa-
ton. The federal food admins
tration for Dade County, however,
has come to the rescue of the re-
tail grocers, and in an authorized
statement issued to the public as
serts that he grocers are re
lquiled' TO make these charges by
the food administration.
The statement further says
that it is not Optional" with the
dealers, but that they must"
make them, adding that when the
REIMBURSEMENT takes place among
the grocers the consumers will be
the beneficiaries through lower
prices. In it's announcement alb
solving the retail grocers from
all blame for the institution of the
plan, the local food administra-
ton having jurisdiction over that
county says:
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1918-02-07
Could Be Readily Determined.

Whether the five cents per de-
livery would cover the expense,
would. of course, have to be
worked out to meet local condi-
tions. The same figuring applies
to whether the three per cent
added to the cost of credit orders
or cash and delivery or credit and
carry. The exact cost of each
method, it is commended, could
readily be determined by carefully
figuring each plan, and the per-
centage difference could then be
added TO the purchase price of
the groceries, whether it be for
No. 4, 2, 3aor 4 plan.
1t is pointed out, however, that
the dealer would be compelled to
use care in the preparation of his
figures as to the cost of each
method by including only such
items of expense as would be
properly chargeable thereto, this
applying both to omissions. and
additions. Accurate cost finding
would be necessary. step by step.

Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1918-02-07
Shoulders All Responsibility.

In order to clear up the mis-
understanding, we wish to state
again that all Madison grocers
are required by the federal food
commission to charge five cents
for each delivery and to charge
three per cent on all charge &C
counts. This is not optional with
the grocer. He must make the
charges.
ut is our belief that the carry
ing out of this plan will result in
lower prices to The consumer. We
realize that it will take some lit
tie time for the grocer to read
just his prices, but we ask the
consumer TO he patient, and we
feel sure that in the very near
future all consumers will be
benefited by our price regula-
ton.
1t will readily be seen that the
adoption of this plan, which some
time ago was advocated by The
Interstate Grocer, is the fairest
way TO make the consumers pay
for what they get. 1t also pro-
vidcs a three-way system Of
cash and carry" with only the
barest overhead expense added to
the cost of the goods; cash and
delivery, with the additional ex-
.pense of the carrying charges
added; and credit and delivery,
with the extra expense involved
included. AS a matter of fact, it
provides four ways, with a little
change, whereby the housewife
could get credit and carry the
goods home with her, thus dis
tributing equitably the proportion
of expenses.

Golfer WILL WIN

The following statement was made
yesterday by Tom Drennen, secretary
of Democratic State Committee:
Reports coming into the Democrat
ic' State headquarters from all parts
Of the state indicate that Fred T. Col
ter will be elected Governor by three
to five thousand majority. Every coun-
ty in the state viii roll up a large
majority for every democratic candi-
date on the ticket The vicious at
tack that the republican newspapers
are making upon President Wilson has
caused the sentiment of the people to
vote for men who will uphold the
hands of the President. The propa-
ganda promulgated by the kept press
that "a vote for Golfer is vote for
Hunt" has been punctured. Governor
Hunt has come out in an open letter
stating that he would not, under any
circumstances, hold the office of gov
ernor after his present term OF office
expires. This should relieve the minds
of Governor Hunts enemies that he
will hold the office two years longer.
There is no question as to Senator
Golfers eligibility as the best author
tiles in the United States have passed
upon the question in other states and
if Golfer is elected governor he will
be governor, in person as well as in
fact 1t looks like landslide for the

small mines in this state The pas
sage of Amendment 100 would help
these small mine operators because
the State and not the individual mine
operator (as is true under the pres
ent law), would be responsible for
the compensation payments. One seri-
3ous accident often puts a small oper-
ator cut of business altogether and
the compensation due the injured man
or men is never paid because of no
available funds, but under the pro-
posed Amendment 100, the small oper-
ator or leaser needs only to pay his
small share of compensation taxes
and he will never be charged with
heavy damages, while the injured, if
there be any unfortunates, will re
ceiye from the State such compensa-
ton as may be due them, even though
the company for which they were
working when injured may have gone
out of business, and in this way the
workers of the smaller companies will
be as well protected in case of injury
as those for the largest concerns,
which is untrue under the present
law
am in favor of the proposed Am
endment 100 because it is the first
proposition on which the employee
and employer have ever gotten to-
gether in Arizona to my knowledge.
Billy Sundays creed is: THAT | am
against anything that the Devil is
for" And have sometimes thought
that Capital was always against any
thing that Labor was for.
But in the case of the proposed
Amendment 100, the rich and the poor
the employee and the employer are
as one upon this proposed mutually
beneficial measure. And this is fine,
for well has it been said in effect:
Capital can no more get along with
out Labor than Labor can get along
without Capital, but each must lean
upon and help the other if industrial
peace, progress and prosperity are to
be maintained.
I, therefore, urge that all colored
voters vote YES on Amendment 1O0.
