appear to b the case here. The
inefficient manager, the 1ncaut1ouS
buyer, the disobliging salesman IL
ways lose out even under normal con.
ditions Of competition. we IN know
that here In Bismarck most 'o1 the
long.established merchants are still
doing business ct their old stands
and apparently holding their own In
these hard times IN spite Of being
unable, In most cases, to meet the
price-competitlon Of the chains.
What Is the explanationf It u FOUR
fold, a. I zee II: first, the inde-
pendent merchant maintains q deliv.
cry system, invaluable to those who
shop by phone; second, he u able to
extend credit and carry" his Gus
toners during periods Of financial
drouth: third. BY reciprocity and
"auld acquaintance" he keeps the
business Of other independent mer-
chants and old friends; and, last, BY
maintaining small stocks Of luxury
lines" which, due to slow sale, the
chain stores do not care to handle,
he Is able to offer . greater variety
than the chains and thus profit by
their neglect.
In view Of these facts Why impose
an unjustly heavy tax on chain
stores7 The tax recently proposed
BY one Of our legislators, onerous at
its mildest, 4 graduated 70 penalise
expansion, which, the thinking man
VIII Immediately realise, Il simply =
measure Of service. II Z link" es-
tablished In Fargo, for instance, has
proved popular and prospered, why
make It more difficult for tho chain
to extend its special benefits to US
IN Bismarck? Any discriminatory
tax seems unjust to many people;
certainly the enormous tax proposed
seems unfair, particularly to those Of
US who realize that It Is q tax which
We, Is consumers, must ultimately
pay. It Is entirely possible to I'M
pose . tax 50 heavy that the chain
stores viii be unable, under its
weight. to compete with the indie
pendents. the price advantages Of
mass buying and distribution thus
being lost to the consumer; the In.
evitable result will be that out-of.
state (mail order) buying will In.
crease and the attempted coercion
to buy from local Independent mer-
chants will have an opposite effect
from that desired. It Is argued that
chain store ownership being mostly
out-of-state. profits do not remain In
North Dakota. Is not the same thing
true Of most Of the public utilities
operating In the state? Chain store
managers and salespeople live In the
town in which the branch store Il
located. paying out most Of their sal
aries locally. The chain store pays
rent and pays for telephone. electric,
and heating service. Chain stores
donate largely to local charities. Let
US see to 1t that they are not over
taxed for, remember, we as consumers
will have to foot the bill.
Yours very truly,
Fair Play.

I'm very fond Of Mary" he looked
down 50 that Freckle could not rec
his eyes. II think I'm falling In
love"
Freckle gasped with surprise.
why, Mr. Little! How thrilling-I
mean, well-I can't believe you're really
in love with Mary!"
Shes q wonderful girl" Curt
forced enthusiasm into his voice Isn't
she the loveliest little thing you ever
SAW"
"She's beautiful" Freckle agreed un-
stintingly and her eyes grew misty with
happiness at Mary's good fortune. And
she's the sweetest girl I've ever known.
So good and innocent and pure"
do you think have chance with
her? I'm 80 and Mary Is only 18."
"Oh, what is that" Freckle poofed
at the old-fashioned idea that few
years difference in age would matter
If Mary has as much sense as I'm sure
she has, she couldn't help falling In love
with a wonderful man like you"
Little bowed. with a small, broken
smile, in recognition Of the compliment.
Then he looked up suddenly.
"But-there's some one else. She's
engaged to another man."
"Why-who told you that?" Freckle
v
tell you?"
NO" Curt admitted, with another
little smile. II got 1t from the gentle
man himself"
Freckle's mouth opened In horrifed
unbelief
That young idiot didn't go to your
house?"
"No-but he called me up before the
birds were up this morning and inter-
rupted my breakfast to warn me that
I'd better stay away from his f1ancee" +"
Fr,ckle was furious with Tommy's
stupidity. He must be out of his head!
Curt watched her closely and realized
he had said just the right thing.
Freckle was going 10 be on his side. She
flushed impatiently.
Don't take him seriously, Mr.. Little
He's just kid from Mary's home town
He followed her out here. She's not
really engaged to him. 1t was just q
puppy love high school affair You
should have heard her bawlmg him out
the night he arrived for tagging her
around"
Freckle was so certain Mary would be
a fool not to grab the chance to marry
man like Curt Little-with all his
money-that she scarcely realized she
was painting the situation in colors that
weren't quite true. The thought upper
most in her mind was to undo the harm
Tommy might have done with his hot
headed phone call. Curt felt vastly re-
lieved. He smiled little more nat
urally.
"Oh-in that case-I won't worry
quite so much. It sort of broke ME up
a bit to think Mary might be in love.
with some one else I didn't want to-
show my feelings If she really was en-
gagged to the fellow"
Don't get any gray hairs oyer HIM"
Freckle said disdainfu,ly. Mary has

calls her friends up and threatens
them"
You must never tell her" Curt
leaned toward Freckle. Promise me.
don't want her to worry"
"Oh-I won't" Freckle assured him
readily. But I'll fix that young hill
billy from Virginia II he comes around
us pulling any funny stuff"
Freckle was genuinely angry with
Tommy. Curt could see that without
any trouble. It had been easier than he
thought. He shrugged magnanimously.
"Oh-well, young love in the Spring |!
He's probably a fine chap. I don't
blame him for losing his head over
Mary Sawyer"
Leave it to me% Freckle looked
grim.
You'll never be sorry"-Curt de-
cided to intrench himself still further
in the good graces Of Freckle-"if you
help me along little with my romance.
I've q part in my new picture, a heavy
comedy part, which would fit you like
a glove. It should make you in films. "
Freckle dropped her cup into her
saucer with a thud and searched his
eyes skeptically.
"You're-not fooling-me?"
"On my word of honor" Curt Little
said solemnly. Il want Mary taken care
of-and her happiness and safety means
more to me than anything in the world.
That's why want you to keep that
threatening young man away from her.
On the day we are married I will give
you not only that part in "Hi-de-di," "
