acts in the same way osdndividu- als. You can quite understand the reasonableness of this measure and our contention that all should be treated equally. '

The Sales Tax has been very grievous, particularly when first in troducod not only. on account of the fact thmt it was |Il ' ‘ to

' collect the tax from tho’ retailer

bu‘t bccausc it was difficult toiac- curateiy determine when and whcro tho tax was to be charged.

oi actions, interviews with mom- bcrs oi ‘the Government ,ote., we ivero successful in having the tax collected ut the sourcepi supply. namely, from the manufacturers or importers; ITliis could be dons with much less cos-t and inconven- ience than by the retailers who, in many instances, would have been required to hire an additional book keeper to keep track oi the sales ut a cost of from one hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars per month ,to collect twenty-fivirtc one hundred dollars tax for the Gov-- ernmén-t. We have had much trou- ble in determining who is a. retail? er. and who la u manufacturer to comply with the act, ns, for in- stance, in the ease of Tailors, Prin- tors, Candy and Pastry Makers. Furriers, Tinsiniths ,et'c., Most oi these differences of opinion have been decided by the Department iii accordance" with our contention and in the interests oftiio retail trade generally, buflnot without great cost to your Association in lawsuits, e<tc_

Legislation was obttained mak- ing guessing contests, punch boards, shell games, etc., illegal. IMiany of these schemes are not in the interests of better merchan- dicing.

Legislation was obtained permit ting the sale of vegetables by weight, which was much needed for the greater convenience of ‘the trade.

We presented our views with ro- gard to -the Trading Stamp. and af- ter o. great deal of work were suc- cessful in getting an Act prohibit- ing their use except when they have ii definite value miirketl thcrc

oi Canada you have been success- fil iii avoiding this udliitlonul ov- erheud expense, The transient traders, hawkqpb. and pcildlers have been dealt with by all your Provincial Boards and amendments are being qbtalngr] 9W1! ycar not to stop these peopio i-Pfliliill; but to place them in u po- sition where they will have to con tribute to the welfare of the com- munity proportionately to the bon- eflt which. they derive, or place Your district on a fair competit- ive basis with this class of trad- ers. ‘Some Provinces have given the municipalities almost absolute authority to prohibit the transient trader, hawker and peddler, to iix their own license fee if they con- sider he is not in the interests oi the consumer who has no oppor- tunity to get restliuion if he has been soaked, or in the interests of the rctlii1er_wlio pays ii large share of taxes. Other Provinces have allowed their municipalities to place a license fee up to three hundred dollars. Others still have ‘placed further restrictions regula- ting tho conditions of sale. The li- censing of these traders has pre- vented the sale of hundreds of thousands oi (loiIarl-i‘ worth of goods by tho-so people which has been obtained ‘by the local merch- ants. Many Provinces have much to accomplish yet to bring their laws i111 to the standards estab- lished in some of the other Prov- inces, but these things cannot ‘be done in a day or in a year, but mu-s‘t be done through the process of time and the education of the public and legislators to the point where they realise on necessity of protecting the man who hel-ps to support the community and con tributes to the ‘better class of citi- zenship generally.

By way or better protecting the mcrciiziiit against unnecessary Ios

members. Every merchant realis- es what a great thing this will lbs when iully developed no-t only a great deal oi time, energy and per- severance but money will be requlr loll‘ to complete the system.

in tile inter-eats of tile retail trade of Canada is deserving of youlr ap-

s E

‘fiiie third and last point which i wish to make is "Why should it ‘be continued."

You ‘may say, ‘weiii that. it is very good, but now that you have done so much them is nothing mlore to do. The work of your Association is justlin I-ts ‘Infancy. ‘Much better conditions for trading should b!) 0b- talncd. and magazines should be published monthly, to keep you in touch wllth trade conditions ‘from one‘ end of ‘the country ‘to ‘the other because that which afilects the East will surely have iui effect upon» the West and vice verso. Your Prov- incial eredi-treports should be ex- ifrndcd to make them‘ Dominion wids. lMony suggestion-s have been partially "adopted, many acts only partly amended, these but all] the new legislation tlo bo introduced ‘is generally ‘In the interest of some Association or gioup of indivldua-ls and ‘that ‘which ‘is Iiitrodoced by others ‘must be carefully watched to see that it docs not injustlylnterefere ‘with the retail trade. Besides all ‘these q-ues tions of legislation whidh may come to the attention of ylour Association orom time to time and other inat- tlers affecting illc general ‘welfare of the ‘retail trade, the one ‘great problem facing ‘the retailer today i-s, how can he buy as favourably as anyone else ‘in the same line ioi trade that he may be able to lcnter into fair competition in the sale of his goods. This‘ is‘ a tremendous problem anld can only be colvied by patient delihprati-on u-pon the un- reasonalblcness of tire situation at the present time and a proper i-omcdy evolved. Wle all have our own ideas, but there is no one -man can immediately get results. This can only hie acquired by greater Oi) operation, organization, harmony and an appeal to fairness‘. Condi- tions can be remedied with your soppcrlt and symipathy. It cannot be done by the officers of your As- sociation alone. Thlere must he a union of spl-rlt and ‘an educational awakening ho -the realisation of ‘the true contiilti-on of affslns, both ‘by-tho consumer as well as the retainer be-

concerned can be obtained. The stronger and larger you make your organisation, the ‘more effective it will become. This can only ‘be dlone by your membership and will- ingnlcss _-to actively co-oporate iii the ‘work, not only in meetings, but by interesting other fellow inerch- ants in your iii-ms and objects and matters of gcnlerai interest i0 your business individually you can do nothing bu‘t collectively all th’ngs
