they would have to find some other
way of filling orders for goods that
he has in stock and which nobody
else in town happens to have, and
his of course, does not apply in buy
ing nails, screws, .door-locks and the
like, but 1t might apply to a number
OF other things which the city Is
liable to need on short notice.
Furniture Dealer Serves County
There have been times when e. r.
Peck was a member of the city coun-
Gil and an OFFICER of the county gov
eminent. (coroner) and It sometimes
happened that the city or county
needed some furniture or the county
needed a coffin, and Mr.. Peck was
partner in the Brown ldredge Fur
niture company At such times, both
the city and the county managed to
keep business going in some way, and
no scandal arose If the Brown
Eldredge company filled the order.
At the same time, there were usually
one or two other firms CARRYING
smaller and more or less incomplete
stocks of the same kind Of goods, and
we do not recall any times when
these competitors went about COM
planning because of their own failure
to receive the orders for goods.

christensen had observed the service
done by the Nash-Quad trucks op~
Grated by the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company near Shelley, and he
directed attention to them. The drive
power operates on all four wheels
and they go thru places where others
fail. Other trucks were studied, and
received favorable consideration.
The commissioners encouraged all
local dealers to present the claims of
the trucks they represented, SO that
everybody might have an even chance
to sell.

Calvin Mosier, the manager Of the
Majestic Auto company OF Aberdeen,
suggested to him that as the agent
of the Bingham Motor company he
might help land an order for Nash
Quad trucks and share in the COM
missions. A truck that sells for
5000, yields commission of 10
per cent, or about $500, If they sell
at list price and no sacrifice is made
by bidding or cutting of prices. Mr..
Bills says he advised Mr.. Mosier to
get into the game and see what he
could do, that he might as we'll make
5000 as anybody. Mr.. Mosier says
that Mr.. Bills stated that he, Bills,
would give Mosier $500 if he would
secure the purchase of the Nash
Quad trucks. Bills says that was
not the conversation.

Make a Clean Sweep

r. HAuhC q SlCdtlA oNCCp
After the Bingham Motor company
had secured the order for four Nash
trucks, something was said in COM
missioners' meeting about R. G. Bills
possible connection with both sides
of the deal and he stated that he
company, but that his relatives were.
When doubt was expressed as to the
propriety of giving the order to
relatives of the commissioner, Mr..
Bills said he wanted the matter to be
kept above reproach, and that If they
felt that way about it he would ask
his relatives to cancel the order,
which he Immediately did and Grin
Bills, manager Of the Bingham Motor
company cancelled the order. Then
the board agreed that Commissioner
M. A. Fugate should be committee
of one to buy all the trucks. He de-
cided to-buy ,Nash-Quad trucks and
sent County Attorney Adair to Salt
Lake, the nearest big supply house,
to make the purchase, and iAdair
took Commissioner Bills along to ad-
wise him in closing the contract. The
shipment was made direct to the
Standrod Bank at Blackfoot and no
commission was allowed to the Bling
ham Motor company as agents at
Blackfoot, but the Pacific Nash Motor
company that made the sale, directed
the Bingham Motor company to at
tend to receiving and setting up the
machines, starting operations, and
teaching the truck drivers how to
handle them and to exercise the
usual care and to give the usual ser
vice due to the purchasers of ma
chinery, and that they the Salt Lake
firm, would make it right with them.
This they have since done by paying
them about 5000 for each truck in
stale din the work, or about : per
cent of the purchase price. The Bing-
ham Motor company will continue to
give the service for the Nash people
and the county as the local represen-
tatives of the makers and dealers in
the machines.

Changing the Subject Slightly


Commissioner r. G. Bills has some
relatives in the garage business
They own garages in a number of
towns land some of these brothers
who went to war were out of bust
ness and with the return of peace
they returned to Idaho, anxious to
get into business for themselves.
Some Of them had been working for
wages and had hardly enough capital
to engage in an independent business.
r. G.. Bills and his father were
partners in the Bills Auto company
with houses at Blackfoot,, Aberdeen
and Shelley. The boys decided to
start a new business to be known as
the Bingham Motor company, and the
older brother, R. G Bills, consented
to take little stock to help along
and it was understood among the
brothers, that he was to give them
the benefit of his experience, and
that they were to defer to him be-
cause his judgment would be better
than theirs. The young fellows, the
Bills boys and some of the men who
had worked for the Bills Auto COM
pdHy DelOTe SOlHS W war, SLC uoiHe
at about the close Of the year and
were put to work as soon as possible.
The new company organized end Sc
cured the agency for the Dodge cars
and the Nash cars and trucks. They
did not think there was much
market for such heavy trucks, and
did not like to take the agency for
them, but they had to contract to sell
the trucks in order to get the agency
for the cars.
A New Lne-Up
r. G.. Bills owned most of the
stock in the Bills Auto company, and
his father w. A. Bills owned some.
The father traded his stock last
February for stock in the Bingham
Motor company, and sold the rest to
r. G.. Bills for cash. The several
dealers or agents for trucks in the
county got busy trying to make sales,

Campaign to Make
BOnar Law "GOat"
for LlOyd-GeOrge

London, Sept. 2.-Politieal activ-
ity will evidently be resumed long
before parliament re-assembles III
October. Premier Lloyd George is
expected to remain in France an
other fortnight but he has already
virtually finished his holiday.
Interest here centers about the
new campaign by the newspapers
which is reminiscent of the one
which overthrow the Asquith govern
ments. 1t seeks to make Andrew
Bonar Law government leader in
the house of commons, the scrape-
goat of any governmental mistakes
and shortcomings, and exonerate
the premier on the ground that Mr..
Bonar Law was virtually acting
premier in London while Mr.. Lloyd
George was engaged at the peace
conference in Paris. The ain of
the campaign seems to be discredlt
the conservative section of the coali-
ton government and to prepare for
the possibility, after the next general
election, of bringing a labor cabinet
of which Mr.. Lloyd-George would
assume leadership.
A fierce struggle is also brewing
in the commercial field, now that
British ports have been opened to
German trade. Manufacturing III
terests are already loudly protest
ing against the admission of German
goods, especially against German
toys and opticians instruments on
the ground that British industry is
just beginning to successfully create
business in these lines, which be-
fore the war were largely monopo-
lized by Germany. On the other side
are heard apprehensive sentiments
from free traders, who fear the
government will yield to manufacture
ers' demands, and impose fresh pro-
hibitions under the guise of pro-
tecting "key industries" and that
thus any hope of effectualiy bring
ing down prices will be frustrated.

Dyes from Germany
Will Be Imported

Washington, Sept. 2.-Importation
of six months supply of dyes from
Germany for American manufacture
ers will be allowed under ruling an
nounced today by the War Trade
Board. Manufacturers have been re-
quested to file statements with the
board showing the total quantities of
dyes needed for the six months per-
iod beginning October 1.
Regulations to govern the importa-
ton of dye stuffs will be announced
soon. 1t is believed that by April 1,

United States will have reached such
proportions that further imports will
be unnecessary.
