Oregon Retailers Discuss Problems9 Work at Campus Meeting State Merchants End Meet With Banquet at Osburn; 12 Service Awards Made The initial conference of the Oregon Retail Distributors’ asso ciation brought about a discussion of fair trade acts, the application of research to merchandising and objections to retail taxation. Dean James H. Gilbert in his ad dress on retail taxation stated that the sales tax was unequal because it falls to take into consideration the turnover of merchandise and the ultimate consequence that it falls on all consumers regardless of their varying incomes. Econo mists have always agreed that in come is the best test of a man's ability to pay but the sales tax fails here again. Proposing the abolition of all re tail taxation, Dean Gilbert recom mends an increase on the incomes tax as it is based on the volume of an individual’s income and is more consistent with the individual’s ability to pay. Wendel First Speaker Harold Wendel, president of the retail conference, in an opening ad dress outlined the purposes of the organization and said “Wo all are in competition, our most vital prob lems are mutual ones. All business is facing problems today which weren’t present in the past and it’s going to require all of our coopera tive efforts in order to solve our problems.” In referring to the great part that the Oregon school of business administration has played, Mr. Wendel said, "It provides a wonder ful opportunity to us to get re search work done which would he difficult to have done by any other agency. We have actually found a world of material available which has been put to use already.” Need for the application of scien tific methods of research to retail ing was discussed by Dr. N. H. Cornish, professor of business ad ministration and permanent secre tary of the organization. His talk was based upon a research made in 199 Oregon stores which told of the various methods vised to select, train, and promote retail em ployees. Additional emphasis upon the need of research by Oregon mer chants was stressed by Eric M. Stanford, controller of Olds, Wort m£tn and King, Portland, and by Mother Never Forgot!

Unfair trade practices and their remedies were laid out in the dis cussions on the Robinson-Patman act and the 1937 anti-price discrim ination act of Senate bill 103 which was recently passed by the Oregon legislature.
