To the average cltlien of the UultetJ State the co-operative plan of buying ; merchandise U little known, but in Eng j land. (Scotland and European countries j It hai been successfully pureued for I more than half a century and la, mak ; lng large gains every year. ; To Illustrate the extent of co-operative buying with figures, there are in the ! United Kingdom over 2,809,000 individual members of co-operative societies. - There ; were in 1309, 2,986 retail societies which made ' returns to the government, r The largest wholesale society, which is the wholesale and manufacturing agent of the retail societies and owned by them, is tha Cooperative Wholesale society, limited, of Manchester, England. Its tales last year amounted to practically 1140,. (00,000. The second largest wholesale co operative society ia the 6 (sottish Co-operative Wholesale Society, limited,-Whose net aalea for the year of 1911 were about $32,000,000, On the sales -of -these two wholesale , societies alone , the , ultimate consumers are aavlng in some casea the manufacturer's profit as well as " the wholesale dealer's profit besides other valuable considerations. , . ' . 'v - Plan of Action. If you or I, readera of this paper, lived in England and wished to become mem. bere of a local co-operative society,' we could do so by paying down one ahilllng ' a the first Instalment on five sliarea of I ff each. Our first ahilllng payment would ; entitle us to all the membership prlvl . leges, "which consists chiefly in lower prices on purchase When we had paid up one full share of $3 interest ia al lowed at 5 per cent, with the privilege of Increasing the capital, as we wished jip to 11,000, the increases, of course, drawing interest at e per cent per annum jand the principal can be withdrawn at any time- with the same freedom as I savings can be withdrawn from a savings j bank. The English law does not allow ! members (o. have ahares in excess of , ft. COO jn one society. Having become members of this retail co-operative so ciety, we would buy such merchandise from ite local store as it would be to our interest to buy, but we would have perfect - freedom to buy from other re tail stores aa we saw fit. At the end . of each alx months' purchases w would get a dividend of from 10 to 15 per cent of our gross purchases. This could be taken out In cash or applied to a sav jlngs fund, drawing S per cent as beforo . mentioned. This co-operative membership would have several influences. It would reduce the high cost of living, cultivate the habit of saving and Increase gross savings and give us, if we were of mod erate means, money to spend on the bet ter things of life after we were fed, Clothed and sheltered. The motive gov erning these retail societies Is a helpful j co-operative motive, which, aims to give 1 the best service possible at the lowest price and without profit. , Management of Societies, j The business of the wholesale j co operative aociety la managed by thirty two directors, elected,, by the local sg. eieties. These directors fclv their entire K me at a salary of 11.730 per annum. It Is almost unthinkable for the aver age American business man to consider a proposition of this kind where thirty two jnen coming up from the ranks of ordinary consumer by popular election are conducting an enormous business more economically than the large estab lishments of trade In England can con duct it and giving their best efforts en tirely for the motive of rendering good service and securing a comfortable sal ary with the honor that goes with a public service efficiently performed. Aa AarKTaTatiaa; Problem. This brief account of co-operative buy ing In England must make a vital im pression on the niind of the average American consumer who ia constantly oonfronted with the aggravating problem of the high cost of living. ! Th great opportunities for making money In this country have been in bank ing, manufacturing and, merchandising, and these vocations have attracted un duly from the population of the country and overcrowded and over-merchandised our large towns and citlea and have de pleted the agricultural population, await ing .the proflta of manufacturing and merchandising and Increasing the general cost of living. Any Influence which tenda to turn the Nde In the Other direction, will be a good Influence for the welfare of the United States, and If we could copy - the co operative system of England In a way to force down retail and wholesale profits and increase the. efficiency of the remaining distributors we would be one step towards a better distribution and adjustment of" our business institutions and encouraging thrift and savings and the accumulation of money, which can be devoted to the better things of life.

About 400 Modern Woodmen of America of Omaha and South Omaha' gathered in the Woodman hall, Fifteenth and Doug las streets last night at the call for a mass ' meeting of the insurgents, that element of the Woodmen which protests against the increase in insurance rates in the order. E. D. Miller wag chairman of the meeting. Discussions of the increase were given by M. L. Corey of Clay Center, member of the national and state assemblies formed for the purpose of protesting against the raise In rates; and J. J. Breen, clerk of the Woodman camp of South Omaha, and member of the local assembly of protestors. A program of aolos, quartet selections and recitations preceded the discussions. Mr. Corey said the fight against the officials who propose the rate increase Is a real fight. "We are contending," he said, "again men entrenched behind our own millions, which they are spending unsparingly In an effort to defeat our will. We must depend upon the volun tary contributions of the rank and file." ' Officers Fear Tote. Mr. Corey called attention to the Dona hue bill in the Illinois legislature, which is now a law, designed to allow the Modern Woodmen of America to pass on the rate legislation through the' referen dum, and said the Modern Woodmen ad ministration did all' In its power to block this bill. "It demonstrates he said, "how much confidence they hae in their own state ment that the memberehlp generally la satisfied with the Chicago rate legisla tion. They know full well that if all can be brought to vote, the result will be a tremendous majority against the rates." Referring, to the activity of some of the Omaha members in trying to bring about a special session of the Nebraska legislature to act on a bill similar to the Donahue bill, the speaker said he had no doubt that when the time comes for such an appeal th-. would "find a legis lature ready and willing to protect the thousand5 of Woodmen and other fra- ternalists from this imposition of a cor poration of the state of Illinois."

Majority Leader Underwood made a spirited ' attack on . the i' motives - that prompted President Taft to veto the steel bill, which, he said, had been passed by a republican senate with but two alight amendments. He referred to the presi dent's explanation" "that tfi&ngea had been made in achedules as It waa presented to him, laat year, and, that .congress, had vouchsafed ,ro explanation ' for ' those changes. , . " i "A statement of that kind In a great public' document la nqt only lamentable, but It' is pitiable , said Underwood. "He vetoes a public measure because In the lapse of a year's time the congress of the United States had determined to change the rates In that bill and have not communicated to him our reasons for the change of rates in the two bills, for sooth, It must receive his veto. Tinder-wood Explains Dntr. "Any man of Intelligence, or any man of conscience; any man having respect for himself, would not send to the congress At the United States that statement aa a reaaon for defeating the will of the Amer ican people aa expressed by their repre sentatives in the congress of the United States." . Underwood explained that the bill Im posed a duty of approximately 22 per cent on steel products and that 10 per cent would cover th edifference in the cost of labor at home and abroad. - Thts state ment was combated by Representative Payne of New Tork, former Speaker Cannon and other republican leaders. . Cannon charged the - democrats with "play politics" in pressing the vote and roused Underwood's Ire by declaring that the majority leader would' be the most disappointed man of all If tke bill ahould become a law. Underwood resented hav ing his sincerity questioned and retorted sharply. - , .. . As an added chapter to the tariff bill on the floor, Underwood just before ad- Jornment announced to the house the failure of the house conferees to reach any agreement with the senate on the sugar tariff revision measure. The house voted to send the bill back to conference with instruction that the house conferees refuse to agree to the senate amendment The debate of the cotton bill in the senate was short The amendment of fered by Senator La Follette waa Indentl cal with the bill presented in the house by Representative Hill of Connecticut and which then received the support of the majority of the republican. , Senator La Follette declared It repre sented an actual reduction of 2 per cent lower on the average than the democratic bill. Hla aubstltute received only fourteen votes, bower, and the progressives then joined the democrats in passing the house bill.
