AMERICAN COOPERATIVES: BOOK REVIEW

new book on Cooporotivos and their
growth in the United States has just ap-
peored in the book stalls. It is John
Daniels COOPERATION-AN AMERICAN WAY.
The author points out that the cradle
of consumer cooperate on in America wos tho
mutual fire insurance groups formed by tho
farmers Of the country quarter Of
century before tho Rochdale Pi onoers sot
up business in Toad Lono. After the Civil
War tho Granger Movement gavo new impetus
to cooperate on through its program Of So
c1a1, educational and economic Improvement
among farmers, and by adding tho distri bu-
tion Of commodities to the distri butt on
Of insurance. t.
After O di sostrous period Of bulk buy
ing through O COMM ssion system, tho Gra-
ngo, in 1875, laid down rules Of business
which paroll eled the Rochdolo principles.
The Grange leaders were acquainted with
the Rochdolo Pi onoers and their system for
running cooperative stores, but the prin-
ciplos Of selling for cash and at current
retail prices had boon learned through Bit
ter experience. The Americans modified
and djustod Engl ish Pattern and cut |
it to fit their stature.
Al though the old Americans may be given
much credit for Initiating the movement in
the Uni ted States, the mower immigration
Of Films, Germans, English, Scottish, and
|Scandanavians made considerable contri bu-
tion to the cooperative structure in this
country.
In the authors opinion, cooporotion is

Dick Butler Back
AS Manager of
Hamilton

By THE NIGHT CLUB EDITOR
n1CK BUTLER, who years
~ ago was manager Of the
Hamilton Hotel, is back again.
Not only that, but Mr.. Butler is
now promotion manager for the
entire group of Manger Hotels,
of which the Hamilton is one.
He expects to give special atten-
ton to the Rainbow Room, one
of the most popular cocktail
spots in town.
Barnee and the La m b T. h
Walk are still intriguing the
Shoreham customers. The Ter.
race, by the way, is especially
lovely these moonlight nights.
There's something about the
moonlight-and q girl in eve
ming dresS-that appeals to the
romantic instincts Of the male.
10000 girls-do your stuff.
Woods Good Looks
Johnny SLAUGHTER and
y his band are still-thank good
ness!-at the Wardman Parks
Metronome Room. Those dim
lights, colored mirrors and
Johnny's music make you want
to dance and dance and dance.
Grant Wood, head Of The
Woodmen Band now at the
Maryland Club Gardens, is one
of the best looking band leaders
in town. And he's 6 feet 2
inches tall. Show me q gal who
doesn't like a tall man and I'll
show you a man who doesn't
like a pretty girl.
Saw that big Texan at the
Lotus this luncheon. He flicked
a handkerchief out Of q mans
pocket with that bull whip Of
his. All in fun, Of course, but
I'd hate to have a guy like that
mad at me.

He and George Laye, master Of

Packard, but instead, he rolled
into the Shipton saloon and got a
drink. It was pleasant, and on
second thought, it helped one for"
get, so he got another.
He followed with several more,
and presently he was drunk. It
was the first time he had been
drunk in his life. They kept on
giving him more as he paid for
it, and they didn't throw him out,
as they would any other bum. He
meant too much to them.
There wasn't an inhabitant OF
the town who wasn't in some way,
directly or indirectly, indebted to
him. II he had not helped you,
he had at some time helped one
of your relatives. So they let
him sleep off his stupor in the
saloon lounge, and they discussed
who might be called to look after
him, since he had no family.
FANNY MOST LOGICAL
The logical person seemed to
be Miss Fanny Williams. She
was, in the village mind, the near
est Of kin. That, at any rate, was
her intention, and she would look
after him. So they sent a message
down to her, and she came her
self and had him carried, uncon-
Scious as he was, to her house.
She had him put to bed, and
there, when he came to on the
following day, he found himself.
Miss Fanny stood by with a bowl
Of hot soup. She had carefully
placed a Bible on the night table
at the bedside. Miss Fanny was
a teetotler.
Three days later she convinced
him that it was foolish Of him to
hold out against her any longer.
She loved him so, and she had
the minister all prepared.
So Billy gave in, and married
plump and prosperous Miss
Fanny.
Once a week, however, he still
goes up to see Packard. He has
dinner with him and sits through
the evening. The kitchen and
everything is just the way Lefty
left it. They smoke, and stare at
the mountains, and say little.
Once-only once-Packard men,
toned Billy'S marriage. How you
like the new set-up?" he asked.
Billy shrugged his shoulders. II
should worry" he said.

and charges as the cost of negotiating
the loan and securing it's insurance.
l just want to make it clear that
under this plan the average cash out
lay made by the purchaser of $4,000
home will have to be at least IA per
cent and will not be limited to the 10
per cent down-payment. 1t seems to
me that the payment Of some of these
charges could be spread over short
period of time to facilitate the initia-
tion of the purchase and provide for
easier availability of the home to the
prospective home owner.

Washington, D. C. 0LNS).-As
time grows nearer for convening of
Congress and majority of the state
legislatures of the country, fresh i'm
petus is given the study of tax revision
on many fronts. State Federations of
Labor in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Nebras-
ka, Illinois, New Hampshire, Mime
sofa during the past ten days have
shown their active interest in coming
tax problems by creating tax commit
tees. These groups are instructed to
examine and report to their executive
boards tax proposals they deem in
furious to labor's interests.
This brings to total of twenty-five
the list of State Federations prepar-
ing themselves for aggressive atten-
tion to labor's welfare when law
making bodies meet this winter.
In Washington, President Roosevelt
has shown new interest in the need
for asking governors of the states to
meet with him and U. S. Treasury tax
officials to discuss ways Of relieving
the overlapping drain of duplicating
taxes.

study by a special committee of Con-
gress would extend, and in effect, re-
ward those employers who enter into
proft-sharing plans with their work
ers.

the past year show every likelihood of
necessitating new levies by city and
county governments in the next year,

nicipal Finance Officers who heard
their president state in recent con-
vention, "The entire tax system is a
muddle"
