The idea of a self-serving groce teria appealed to the public, and they certainly flocked in to see how It was done. 4 . The plan of merchandising was developed in Memphis, Tenn., and has spread like wild-fire all over the country, until - there are now more than 1500 of the stores in operation. It is really a clerkless. self-serving store, with the goods arranged so that the public walks through the aisles, , picks out what it wants, carries the stuff to the counter, and has it' tied or bagged, and pays for the stuff as it is iied up. i' : Standard package goods Is han dled almost exclusively; the ex ception : being ; beans, sugar and such bulk goods as can be put up right at the store In convenient units. Almost nothing is handled but nationally advertised goods, that has a reputation to sustain. "It doesn't pay to even take a chance; with anything' but the best," said Manager C. A. John son, of the new Salem store. The Memphis company sells all the store furniture,' and the pat ent right, but the dealers buy their own' goods as they like. The idea has taken a great hold on the markets; there are 42 such stores in Washington. 30 in Denver, 45 In Chicago, and the others scat tered all over the country. ; "We find that it is as arule the best shoppers, the people with the best ideas o feconomlcal and clean shopping, that -patronize ell was elected speaker pro tem these stores," said Assistant W.J at the opening of tne session yes B.

He reiterated the state ment made today by President Harding in Washington that the present finance year probably will be closed without a deficit. Meanwhile, he said, the repeat of certain taxes surtax '. and eo- called nulBance taxes reduced income about the government $850,000,000 a year.

Of the fourteen billion dollars it is safe to say that somewhere between a third and a half was an absolute useless : expenditure and represents nothing but waste extra vagence and worse." ' ' Third Income Tax Bill : . is Introduced by Larkin The third income tax bill to ap pear during this session of the legislature was introduced today by 'Representative Carkins of Jackson county, a member of the National Tax association, t . The bill combines features of the flat 4 per cent income tax on individuals and the progressive tax which also Includes corpora tions and is based ion the recom mendations of the association which National Tax has devoted considerable study to this subject. Because of the j comparatively small numbers of persons in Ore gon with Incomes of 150,000 or above, the tax on j individual in comes under the Carkia bill which provides a progressive rate from 1 ; to 6 per cent would probably closely parallel those imposed un der the flat 4 per cent tax advo cated by the state! tax. investiga tion commission. .. ... One of the objections advanced by Carkin to the so-called admin istration bill Introduced by Mc Mahan of Linn, is that the tax Is to high and another is that state, city and county officials and em ployes would be exempt from tax ation.
