Vigilance is the price not only of
liberty but of successful cooperative
marketing. A city cooperative mar
ket may have fine buildings and
equipment, but unless it is supervised
by competent manager who dill
gently enforces a well-wOrked-Out
system of operation, the enterprise
will sooner or later fail This is the
rock on which practically all unsuc-
cessful markets have broken. say
city marketing specialists of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture.
If system of municipal markets
is not so operated as to provide a
place where people can purchase food
more cheaply than at other food dis
tributing agencies, the system is not
justified, the specialists believe.
While 1t is true that public markets
are useful in that they assemble and
make readily available large as
sortment of certain products, some
of which might otherwise be wasted.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1919-07-18

this is of relatively minor importance
in determining the markets success.
Well-operated markets may also ben
eft practically all consumers by fur
nishing competition which will slim
ulate private food dispensing agen-
cies to operate more efficiently and to
charge lower prices than they would
if the competition of the markets did
not exist. But public markets caL
not bring lower prices unless the cost
of operation is less in them than
elsewhere. This is largely the prob
lem of the market manager.
Give Manager Cnhampered Field.
The first essential to successful
market Is a competent, well-informed
and progressive manager. A man
familiar with modern merchandising
methods should be procured even If
the salary asked is more than at first
seems necessary. No private COM
mercial enterprise would think of
placing a plant in which 100000 or
more has been invested in charge of
an incompetent, poorly-paid manager.
This has been done. however. by
some city markets with very unsatis-
factory results. Such market has
never come up to expectations and
the community which it is intended
to serve as well as many observers,
have been led rightly to question the
worth of the whole municipal market
idea.
The manager must have an unham-
pered field in which to work. In ad-
dition to having satisfactory equip
ment he must make and enforce
strictly good, practical sanitcry regu-
lations governing the methods of
doing business on the part of the
dealers in the market. To do this.
he must be given almost dictatorial
powers and not be INSTRUCTED by poi
itics or other outside influences.
Renting Market Stalls.
Most successful markets rent the
stalls from month to month. BY
this method. no question of long
lease will interfere with ejecting a
dealer in case he refuses to conduct
his business in accordance with the
market rules and regulations and in
the best interests of the market as a
whole. All equipment, such as
counters. racks, cold storage boxes
and. il possible. computing scales.

A Chance to Advertise Thurston
County-P. B. Groat, general emigra-
ton agent representing the land de-
partment of the Northern Pacific rail-
road company, has in preparation a
pamphlet similar to that of 1892, in
which were given upwards of 100 let
tiers from farmers residing in this
state and northern Idaho, describing
the characteristics of those districts
which might interest prospective set
tiers. 1t is hoped that Thurston
county. which took so many awards
at the Columbian exhibit, will not be
backward about making her resources
known through this widely distrib-
uted circular.

sionary board, it seems, exonerated
Mr.. McKillop from blame. The re-

that the board has cast the Rev. Mars

should be owned by the city, so that
no dealer will acquire property rights
in the permanent fixtures in the stall.
The manager should exert every
effort to attract dealers of the best
type to the market. He should re-
qure all occupants of stalls TO keep
simple, uniform records which should
be available for his examination so
that he can ascertain at least the vol
ume of business of each dealer, the
dealers cost of doing business and
his net profits.
In all his efforts to better mer-
chandising methods in the market,
the manager should keep IN mind
two fundamental things: CD TO
Justify the existence of the market,
consumers must obtain food more
cheaply than it can be obtained from
most private stores: CO to induce
the dealers to make this cheaper food
possible, they must be given a greater
aggregate return than If they were
in business merely as private store
keepers. The competent manager, II
SlNeD pONCio W 'hS SA'S
can accomplish both aims. One OF
the first regulations should be to
strip from the price of food products
as completely as possible all charges
for service normally hidden in the
price. A dollar spent in the market
should bring a dollars worth of food.
not, say IS cents worth of food, ~
cents worth of delivery and 5 cents
worth of credit. The majority OF
those who buy in the market pay
cash and carry away their purchases.
1t is manifestly unfair to make them
pay higher prices in order that some
one else may take advantage of the
so-called free delivery and free
credit. One of the first rules OF
market, therefore, should be that
dealers will not be permitted to grant
credit or deliver goods at the deal
ers' expense.
The market manager should insist
to dealers in the market that the saw
ings effected by them as compared
with outside dealers, by reason OF
the lower rentals and the absence OF
delivery and credit expenses. should
be passed on to the consumer in
lower prices. Because of decreased
operating expenses. dealers in the
market can sell at considerably re.
duced prices and still make the same
margin of net profit as the average
storekeeper. AS matter Of fact,
they can well afford to take some
what smaller margin Of profit, since
fair reduction of prices as compared
with other competitors will attract
more customers and SO will build up
the volume of their business and in.
crease the rapidity of their turnover
The result will be that the aggregate
net income built from large number
of small unit profits, together with
saving in waste of goods due to their
rapid movement, will be greater
and often very much greater--than
incomes built by private Service
stores from larger but fewer profits
which are subject to reduction from
spoilage because of slow movement
of goods.

ROME Jan. S.--Thc discussion caused
by Lconidn Bissolati's resignation from
tho cabinet has been suspended for the
moment owing to President Wilson'S
visit. Perhaps the situation may best
be explained as follows:
. piYsulati long has been anxious to
pusr certain points. which. il his opln-
ion should mark tho Italian programme
nj the pracc conference. The rest OF the
cabinet did not accept his point OF view
hut that docs not necessarily mean that
In, firms in BsSulati'S programme
were rejected.
Blssolati desires to go to the peace
conference with "impcr:alistic" items d.
lcted from its program. The rest OF the
cnbinet has accepted the Wow that ltaly
should wait until the attitude OF the
other nations has been made clear. Inc
government takes the attitude winch
was outlined roughly in Premier Orlan-
d,'s speech in the senate ana more clear
" BY Senator Tittor the day previous.
Bissolanti was anxious that Italy shoulo
make An immcdiatr and definite declara-
ton in favor OF the Wilsonian principles
as soon as the discussions opened ana
should back it's declaration by state
ncnt regarding the territorial questions

walt and see how far these principles
arc going 10 be applied generally.
This explains the rather cryptic ma
turc Of IN" official communicate regard
ing tho minister's resignation which has
caused a good deal Of comment here. The
point to note is that the resignation does
not mean that Italy is committed TO an
intransiGrccn; policy. but that she
thinks il desirable Ia take the lead IN
the why Of rrnunciations. Perhaps the
questions may be cleared up to some e1-
tent bv conversations between President
Wilson. Premier Orlando and Baron
