| Show corro oarra ITO lla lulf it cr SALT LAKE city june ath 1869 jj lor cor tot evening wewt newt N cius reflecting up c a the many things that cooperation operation co yli vii v kli ill grasp by and by I 1 have thought upon the glaring one cour bour our present leat market the occupants thereat 10 0 o not BO so far as our outward signal ire re concerned co operate only in tile the kiich gh price of meat would Vo uld it not be a if there were operative cooperative co meat markets opened in e every very ward or for two or three wards by judicious location would it ilot riot bring this article of food nearer to the citizen who from force of circumstances Is compelled to live on the outskirts of the city far removed from the central and only meat market in the city vity the same laws tests record ibi and requirements could as faithfully be adhered to in all these operative cooperative co meat markets as at the central it is only the poor man who knows the expense loss and inconvenience of the present a arrangement ran gement but here alises a grave question what should be done with the present ornamental meat market I 1 answer ifft if it must stand stan dit would make an excelle excellent ut depot for flour grain butter and eggs if it only had a ce cellar ilar liar where person persons s from the country could come and deposit the above articles receive their pay make their purchases and go home without the tedious uncertain and perhaps lengthy round to the several operative cooperative co stores to say nothing of the danger to the looks and condition of the articles sought to be disposed of especially butter A qualified man to superintend such a depot should be chosen orders could be sent him by the several stores to deliver so much of each A wagon always at hand hhand belonging to the concern to deliver thus expenses are lessen lessened sd the stores are not closed while the agent makes the grand round of the legoll legon of little dealers to dind find what he needs for his store or waits the coming wagon or haggles with some person or hears himself outbid by the runners Is this not a needed reform it nouh bouli perhaps break up a monopoly but it would also cheapen food by lessening expenses P give t the tho he poor a chance at a piece of meat in small doses and give us cheap meat asit as it has given us cheap goods cheap goods cheap food an and cheap labor ire re all included in the great programs pro graam gramm ii our oar correspondent amicus is after some folks with a sharp stick in the fo following I 1 but as his remarks will only hurt those chose who are hit and they richly deserve it we willingly insert his communication ED D E N editor deseret news mews I 1 have been agent for your paper for some time past I 1 am always pleased to help on the good vork so if I 1 intrude thus a few minutes upon you be I 1 lenient in a quiet little town not far from your eity city is my habitation thinking that the good folks would be bene fitted by perusing your pa papers atger ers I 1 accepted the agency with no other object in view than to further your interest and induce our people to read and become more enlightened now I 1 am not an editor 71 but I 1 know that a paper cannot ba be sustained by people who subscribe nothing but their names there must be something more substantial than wind mind windy y promises to feed the editor typos pressmen clerks and their families and to 0 pay the tho debts which are arel necessarily incurred by the purchasing 0 of paper gaper ink in inu and other material the manner in which the business of this country for the last few years has ben ban conducted has led many people into a very indifferent and careless way ahey expect to be credited till ha harv est and from that fume time k indefinitely N ow however well this system m may lave succeeded heretofore it certain certainly ily ipp lly nii mii aa not nov answer hereafter I 1 have been f i io lo these reflections by the following v alse asse pinpoint in point A man came to my house today to day says that there were vere seven or eight which he hc had bot hot no thad had I 1 looked ud d could finel fino hut but five rain tarn satisfied lat gat at that was the number due him he vas aas confident there were more he hereupon hereupon t commenced a general on aagha on the disagreeableness of tak ar a paper aper aner and not gelaine eil ell t I 1 D C it 1 ant fh een hen e alle alae ai ril fil We nl t ve V wa a izi IMI sasa said I 1 sou YOU sou would vt get tb 1 oh ifor uhe the M I 1 ough ro be kept for melt floo ifon arguments a ike ice that thatis ls ra ru iiii for fur ce c e de ow about the other yoi you hoi jave D lyd led about your papers before now when did you pay for them oh said he 1 I have not paid yet but but what I 1 said yon have have had your paper now 18 months and have never nover paid paiit a cent now ow before you grumble any more pay up after some talk he promised ho he would do so now I 1 have no doubt people do sometimes miss their papers but it can sem sed scarcely reely be expected to be other otherwise wide wige in a small post where salaries range from twelve to fifteen dollars per annum no person can amford afford to devote himself exclusively to the business hence there is very little difference bs ba tween a P Ms being an agent and a private individual like myself I 1 of course cannot devote all my time to the distribution of a few papers still I 1 do the best I 1 can and would do better than I 1 do in that respect if people would come regularly at seasonable hours flours but they make a practice of coming any time between 5 am and 11 pm and expect to find some one to wait upon them and it sometimes occurs in my absence that three oi 01 four persons of the same family will come fur our paper and as many W any members ofay of may say family will distribute and neither one knows what the other has done hence errors arise putting the subscribers names on does not obviate the difficulty as each one is confident that no one else has been for forit it whereas the truth of it is that one of the members of the family amily has a s got the paper andigone and gone t the he field or the eanon canon or some other place we tell them in such cases to return n it I 1 if they find that they have had it pa previously sly siy which they promise to do although they nearly always fail in conclusion let me give a little advice to all on this matter ru atter find out if any member of your family has had the paper before you go to the agent to bother him nim go in business hours and when you have got your paper go home and read it like good sensible souls and above all if you are owing for the paper before you ever think of grumbling or find finding fault with either editor or agent be sure to PAY UP fraternally AMICUS |
