Retailers Say System of Win

PARCEL POST CRITICISED
Oregon Merchants' Association Is
Addressed by Many Members In
Behalf of Business Better
ment Feast Tonight.
After the severe grilling the members
of the Oregon State Retail Merchants'
Association gave the trading stamp and
other gift schemes in their annual con
vention at the Multnomah Hotel on
Monday, they turned the fires of their
wrath yesterday upon the mail-order
houses. The trading stamp was de
clared to be a "menace." while the
mail-order merchant was described
yesterday as an "octopus."
At this morning's session, the last
to be devoted to business, the store
keepers will "view with alarm" both
the mail-order method of doing busi
ness and the gift scheme, trading stamp
and otherwise, by the adoption of reso
lutions on both these subjects. Other
things that threaten the prosperity of
the merchant will be touched upon and
various recommendations made when
the resolutions committee reports to
day. Astoria May Be Readesvoos.
Astoria seems certain of being chosen
as the place of holding the next an
nual convention, as delegates from that
t ity are working hard for It and they
have no determined opposition. Dele
gates seem eager to re-elect President
J. I Stockton, of Salem, recognizing
his ability as a presiding officer, and
his candidacy probably will be accept
able generally, it is thought. Elec
tion of officers will "be held this morn
ing. The big moment of yesterday's ses
sions came in the afternoon when a
telegram was read from Dan Kellaher.
at Salem, advising the merchants that
the bill, in which the association is
much interested, abolishing the trading
stamp and similar trade plans, had
passed the House. The delegates
greeted the message with cheers and
.1. C. Mann at once offered a resolu
tion commending the work of Senator
Kellaher and Representative Thomas
Brown In behalf of the bill and ex
pressing a vote of thanks to them and
to all others In the House who worked
and voted for the measure.
Mall-Order Hoase Asaallnl.
The merchants pitched right into the
mail-order house when yesterday af
ternoon's session was called to order.
They called it an evil andmany other
bad things. The parcel post was re
ferred to as far from being an un
mixed blessing in that the people of
the" country are called upon, retail
merchants among them, it was said, to
make up the deficit of the parcel post
In carrying mail-order" goods.
"In spite of the business depression,
the mail-order houses show big divi
dends." said George Hyatt, of Enter
prise, in discussing "The Mail-Order
Kvil." "Wholesalers are often unable
to furnish goods at prices quoted by
the mail-order concerns, and the secret
of their success appears to be In their
buying."
He urged co-operative buying by
merchants to offset the advantages of
their distant competitors.
Jebn Day Orator Inquires.
"Every house in our section of the
country is stocked with mall-order
catalogues." said Ira D. Boyce, of John
Pay. who developed into the genial
philosopher of the convention when he
told of his adventures on a recent trip
East, during which he carried a suf
fragette banner in a Washington par
ade and later sit in a Nebraska cellar
while a, cyclone passed over his head.
He said one object of his trip was to
find out how it was possible for the
mall-order houses to sell direct to con
fumers certain classes of goods, not
ably women's wear, at lower prices
than the merchants can buy from the
manufacturers.

I mar be an alarmist, but I think the
time is coming when the Jobber is
bound to develop Into nothing but a
mail-order house."
Tax Evaatoa la otrd.
I. D. Nicklin. of Eugene, also directed
an attack upon the mail-order houses.
He said there are 1000 such establish
ments In the country, doing an annual
business of $1,000,000,000,000 a year.
He pointed out that they are exempt
from taxation save at points where
they hive warehouses and this, he held,
was an injustice lo the retail mer
chants, as well as to other people. He
referred to a law mat has been intro
duced Into Congress and urged that the
measure be Indorsed by the resolutions
committee It was reported that the
resolution? committee will deal with
this subject in an adequate manner.
B. K. Knapp, manager of the Port

address on "Steering a Straight Course
and dealt with the most common causes
of business failure and the obstacles
to be avoided.

are the motives behind your organiza
tion. Ninety per cent ef the business
of the country is done on credit."
Imperfect Inventories. Illusive book
keeping, defective fire Insurance, the
wrong figuring of prices In relation to
costs these were said to be the most
common causes of business disaster. He
recommended the safeguarding of mer
chandising by legislation, as banking
Is now regulated. He said this would
make it Impossible for the professional
bankrupt to engage In business again
and again, and he said he believed the
losses that would be saved the various
communities would more than make up

"Buying at Home or Abroad," urging
the use of Oregon-made goods.
"Not every man who wears a booster
