Tiiiiprli' In Court Matter * .
'A ' special meeting of the Bar association
hns been called at the county court house
nt 9 o'clock this morning for the purpose
of discussing a matter that Is of deep In-
tereot to the attorneys nnd the people of thb
county In gonornl. Judge Thorncll In look
ing over the new code yesterday discovered
that there was eomo reason for believing
that the now code gave the Avoca br.iuch
of the district court concurrent Jurisdiction
with the regular district court over the
criminal business of the county. The Avoca
branch of the court was cstaollshcd by spe.
clal act of the legislature for the conven
ience of litigants In the cast end of the
county. When the old circuit court wa
abolished the act was amended to give the
Avoca court crlmlnnl Jurisdiction In the dis
trict set npart for It. The peculiar wordlns
of the clause of Iho now code repealing all
existing laws gives rise to the Impression
that It may have repealed this special net ,
nnd as It specifically recognized the concur
rent Jurisdiction of the two courts
it Is feared that It may give the branch
court jurisdiction In criminal matters all
over the county. If this should prove to be
so It would render Illegal the grand Jury
that hns Just bean drawn hero for the com.
Ing year and also that to bo drawn within
a few days at Avoca. The meeting of the
Bar association Is for the purpose of dls
cussing tlii , and If It proves to bo as Judge
Thornell fears to take the required atepa
nt once to have the .legislature correct the
error.

PUESIDENT BATON'S ADDRESS.
The afternoon session was called to order
by Vlco President Shumway. President Bat
tln delivered his annual address. In thl
course of which he said :
I cannot rofrnln from expre'slng n
thought right hete viz : that now would bo
nn opportune time for dealers In Implements
to stop this crnzy , cutthroat habit of grantIng -
Ing such long time when selling. Now Is
the time when the fnrmer could be con
vinced that It would bo nn Injury to lilmsclf
na well as to the dealer and manufacturer
to have such an unreahonnble extension of
credit asp nre. too liable to give
There has been so much talk about the
growing evil of "catalogue houses , " bo-
rallcd , ttmt It seems nlmost Idle to call up
that question , and yet It Is ono that needs
our attention and there should bo some
active work done. There must bo some sys
tematic plan adopted and some quiet , search
ing , vigilant work done before anything Is
accomplished that will be permanent and
lasting In Its effects. This matter will most
likely be brought up for discussion at least
In somewhat of a new light at this conven
tion. The iplan suggested we may approve
or we may not , but I think It may pave the
way to some definite actlu i along tlio line
I cannot yet see how wo can avoid the
joint action of nil or most of the associa
tions similar to ours In obtnlnlng the de
sired result.
In the meantime , while we do nil It Is
possible to do by concerted nctlon through
our association , let us go from hero with a
strong purpose to correct some of the evils
and abuses of the trade which lie ' \\ithln
eacli one's personal power. Let us buy our
goods ns nearly as possible , for the spot
cash. This Is ono of the means by which
the catalogue houses are enabled to under
sell us. They buy for spot cash nnd In
large quantities. I would not be. understood
to recommend the buying of goods In large
quantities' , for I think as n rule that Is a
mistake. Better estimate our wants and
then buy only half of It and allo.N the
other half for contingencies. A little extra
freight is far better than unsold goods at
the end of the season , and by buying in
small quantities we are generally In butter
shape to pay the spot cash and get a dis
count that will moro than pay the freight.
Be careful to whom wo Fell on time. Uend
every energy consistent nnd In keeping with
our surroundings to bring the business
nearer to a cash basis In selling asvvoll
as In buying and In doing so wo shall make
It harder for the catalogue house to get
In Its work. Sell our goods as low ns we
can afford to sell them , but do not sell low
simply for tlio purpose of beating our com
petitor out of a sale. This practice does no
one any good. The. expenses of nn Imple
ment business are heavy nnd It requires a
good margin of profits on goods sold to
meet them.
REPORT OF TIIF5 SECRETARY.
Secretary McLaughlln's report , which fol
lowed , -was very voluminous , devoted to dis
cussion of the business nnd Interests of the
association. It Indicated that the largo
membership of the association which had
resulted In the present large attendance was
due to the nctho work of the officers and a
few energetic members who had devoted a
largo portion of their spare time to pushing
the Idea of association for mutual protection
and benefit. 'Ho declared that In all of his
experience In associations he had seen none
organized where there wore greater possi
bilities 'for ' Individual and collective benefit
than was afforded by this association. "In
my report last year , " ho said , "I stated that
as soon as the Implement dealers realized
that this association was theirs , and they
took hold of it and made It a partner In their
business , then we would have made rapid
strides in securing the aim of the organiza
tion ; the lifting up of It to its proper place
In the mercantile world , and the securing to
those engaged In the .business the protection
which wo must secure to protect us from
the encroachments of the catalogue house
and the Inroads of that class of Jobbers and
manufacturers who are not satisfied with
getting their goods before the public In n
legitimate way and ouUldo of the regular
channels. "
"The Catalogue Houses" was the first sub
ject on the program for the afternoon's dis
cussion. Its consideration called out a dis
cussion of a wldo range. The secretary
stated that the catalogue house was an old
subject of discussion , but of moro Importance
this year than , perhaps , over 'before. '
Farmers had been getting their Implements
flout catalogue houses at prices the dealers
could not meet.
At this Juncture Hon. J. M. Burks of Lin
coln , the veteran dealer and founder of the
organization , entered 'the room and was
loudly cheered , Ho made a congratulatory
speech and announced that the great Interest
showji In the Implement business by the
largo attendance at this convention had In
duced him to re-enter the retail business
again , after four years of other work.
WILL UNITB TO FIGHT.
The discussion of the'catalogue house was
further emphasized by the reading of a
largo number of letters from dealers all over
the United States advising the concentration
of Implement dealers' associations to fight
tbo catalogue houses , thus making a central
organization that would bo as powerful In
California and New England as It Is In Iowa
and ( Nebraska , A communication accom
panied by a largo number of letters was re
ceived from W. 'M , Brlnkerhoff of Auburn ,
N , V. . offering to form such nn organization ,
provided ho was allowed to assess the mem
bers to raise funds to defray the cose of
the light , naming $5 as the fee , Ule declared
that all the dealers want to know Is the
names of the manufacturers who furnished
goods to the catalogue houses , then It can
bo stopped. Mr. Brlnkerhoff says that ho In
In possession of the names ot moro than 2,000
manufacturers , and ho would undertake tn
pick out every ouowho sells to catalogue
houses.
The remainder of the afternoon was de
voted to the discussion of Mr. Brlnkcrhoff and
his plans , All ot the dealers favored the Idea
of resorting to all means to suppress the
evil , but many of them were somewhat doubt
ful concerning Mr. Drlnkerhoff and hl ability
to accomplish the desired end.
J , J. Buchanan ot Hasting * , Jcb. , said ho
thought the bcot way to dry up the cow waste
to wean the calf the best way to dry up
those factories that sell to catalogue houees
Is to wean the farmers , and he advised the
holding of meetings throughout the country
among the farmers to get them to realize
the danger than threatens. Ho thought un-
remunerative competition sulcldo > nnd eald
each dealer should help the other.
BRINKKRHOFF'S PLAN REFERRED.
T. C. Jones of Coon Rapids , la. , advocated
the plan of cash instead of time sales , for with
cash all dealers can do as well by the farm
ers ns the department stores. Ho believed
department stores are n fixture nnd Can't
bo legislated out of existence , but they should
not be permitted to misrepresent. U looked
to him as It Mr. Brlnkcrhoff was seeking a
Job.
Job.Mr. . Skadon of Malvern said ho would vouch
for the character ot the man , for ho knew
Iho source nf the blood In hla veins. It came
from a sturdy Now England stock.
Mr. Ayers of Kearney inquired If _ Mr.
Brlnkcrhoff was not the attorney tor a largo
number of manufacturers who sought to col
lect a royalty on certain machine castings.
This proved to bo true , but the members of
the association voted to refer the propooltlon
to the executive committee for consideration.
The next subject that was taken up for
consideration was the binder trade. The ob
ject wns to determine whether the nssocln-
tlon should discountenance the professional
canvassing of the farmer by the expert ma
chine agents sent out by the factories. The
sentiment proved to bo strongly In favor of
the plan , The discussion showed that the
dealers wore In favor of cither buying the
binders outright or making some arrnngo-
ments with the factories by which the dealer
would get rid of the presence of the canvasser
and at the same tlmo got a portion ot the
money paid to him to increase their legiti
mate profits. The committee on resolutions
was Instructed to draw a resolution.nnd pre
sent It for nctlon this morning.
The program for this morning will be n
general discussion of the subject of "Com-
plnlnts and Claims. " At the close of the ses
sion 275 theater tickets were distributed
among the members , nnd all who chose went
to the theater for their evening's amuse
ments.
At the session of the association yesterday
afternoon a resolution was passed excluding
nil but retnll dealers. This shut out all
of the wholesalers ot Council Bluffs and a
number of prominent manufacturers , among
whom were Colonel II. C. Slaver , president
of the Staver Carriage Company , Chicago ,

Perry Chief : The Ohio legislature would
do well to practice some of the ways of

Marshalltowu Tlincs-Ropuljllcan : The

Interested are to bo congratulated.
. Sioux 'City Journal : So far as the ccst
of the regular session of the Iowa legislature
ID concerned It does not make much differ
ence whether the session lasts ono month
or three months. The chief Item of cost
Is tbo salaries of members , but this Is fixed
by the constitution nt $500 for the sesblon ,
whether It bo long or ehort. Of course there
are many other Items of cost , ibut this Is
the chief ono.
Davenport Ilepubllcan : The Iowa Icgls-
laturo convenes tomorrow. The proceedings
of this session will bo watched with great
Interest throughout every county In the state.
Much Is said about extraordlanry appropria
tions , about paying the state debt , about
reducing expenses In state Institutions , n
board of control , and a general trimming up
all along the line , Thcro Is certainly room
for Improvement In every department of the
state government.

In the right direction. Eliminate the fads ,
