The bill introduced into the legislature provided for the placing of commission men under bonds continues to be a leading topic of discussion among the produce commission men of this city. The commission men, as a rule, are In favor of any legislation that will prevent fraudulent commission houses from starting up and swindling the public, but it appears to be a question with them whether the proposed law would meet the requirements of the case. A good many of them are of the opinion that it would only serve to inconvenience the reliable houses, While the people at whom the bill is aimed would be able to avold the giving of bonds and continue to live off of gullible shippers to the great detriment of the responsible houses. Here is what some of the local com- mission men say on the subject: J. Williams of Willlams & Cross—I have looked over the bill carefully, but it neglects to say for whose benefit the bond Is given. In some instances It might be of benefit to shippers to have com- mission houses placed under bonds, but the great trouble in those things is to establish the -proof of fraud on the part of commission men. 8o far as we are con- cerned, we would be willing to have such a bill pass, as the scalawag firms that start up in business are a damage to our trade as well as to the country shippers. They hurt business by destroying confidence. More than that, they recelve goods, and in order to get cash for them put the price down to a low point and thus break the market, com- pelling reputable houses to lower their prices. The fraudulent houses are accustomed to give as references the commerclal agencies, banks and prominent wholesale houses, and the shipper fs 8o anxious to get the high prices quoted that he never stops to write to any of the references, but sends in his goods at once. If shippers were to take the trouble to look up these references they would find out that the parties named never give per- mission to the commission house to use thelr names. The fraudulent commission houses, knowing the carelessness of shippers in this matter, do not hesitate to give as reference a commercial agency or bank, when they know that i any one was to make inquiry the report that would be given would be far from complimentary. It would seem to me to be a good thing if a law could be passed making it a penal offense for any one to give a party as reference without the permission of that party. I believe if that “were possible it would correct a good deal of the trouble. MEASURE TOO INDEFINITE. E. B. Branch of Branch & Co.—I think the amount of the bond is too low; they might just as well make it $25,000 as $10,000 while they are at it. I also th'nk that the bill should be more specific, and shculd be made to include the banks and chop houses, and those country merchants who order goods from the commission men and then neglect to pay for them. The weather clerk should also be placed under bonds to insure gcods arriving at destination without freezing after he has predicted mild weather. Grover ap- ears to be very anxlous to give bonds, and 1 am in favor of glving him a chance, too. But, seriously, 1t would seem to me that any one who takes the trouble to look into the matter carefully will see that it would be necessary to include a good many other lines of business as well as the commission business in order to insure country shippers from loss. If you place one line of business under bonds, the fraudulent houses will sim- ply change the name of thelr business and escape the bonds, but continue in the'r dis- honest methods. ' Reliable houses would be Inconvenienced, while the untrustworthy would escape, J. A. Clark of Clark & Co—It does not seem to me that a law placing one class of business under bonds and not all lines would bs legal. Then, too, I think that the bond is larger than necessary, In the produce commission business at least. The great bulk of the, country produce received by the com- mission houses come in small lots, amounting to only §5 to $20 for each consignment, while a consignment amounting to $600 is a rare thing. That being the case, a bond of $1,000 to $2,000 would be ample protection. I some- times think that it would be a good thing to require bonds of commission houses, as that would shut out those fraudulent houses that start up and run only two or thres weeks and then close up without paying shippers for the goods recelved. ‘WOULD NOT PROTECT. Bert Whitney of Whitney & Co.—In my opin‘on the proposed law would be of no use whatever In protecting shippers. Any com- mission house that did not have the requisite capital to put up the bond and all fraudulent housrs would change over into ~“track’” buyers. Scme of the biggest frauds that have ever been perpetrated here were by parties calling themselves ‘‘track’ buyers. They would agree to pay a stipulated price for goods delivered here, and then when the gcods arrived they would sell them, and that would be the last that the shipper would ever hear of them, By the time he got around to look them up they would be out of town or would have changed thelr name and location, 8o that they could not be found. I signed a paper sent up here from the legis- lature asking that the bill might be made a law, but I wish it could be made to include “‘cash” or “track’ buyers of produce as well as commission men, for then it might be some protection to the shippers, Julius Peycke of Peycke Bros.—There ls $300.00 for a1 ldea This fs the biggest price ever offered for & satch line or heading for an advertisement, Hayden Bros. will give a cholee of several first class planos worth $300.00 each for ths head line adopted and tn addition winl give orders on thelr music department for $50.00 worth of music for the mext five best idea according to merit, To secure an absolutely impartial deciaion appllcants are requested to sign in_number only and to wail corresponding number with name and address to The Bee office, where it will remain until after the award Is made.

That, however, 18 the only good thing that can be sald of it. It is Indefinite in every particular, and it passed would be entirely inadequate to meet the ends desired. Tho commission business is something that cannot be easily. regulated by law. If there was a law requir- g commission houses to give bonds, any firms that wished to do an illegitimate busi- ness could easily get around the law by not calling themselves commission houses, and they could do business and yet escape all the penalties ot the law; they could _simply call themselyes buyers of produce. There is just as much oppor- tunity for a buyer of produce to impose upon shippers as there is for a commission man. But suppose we had a law requiring commis. sion men to put up a bond to insure the shipper against loss through the dishonesty of the commission man, how would it work? Suppose a man ships me a lot of butter and says it 18 worth 16 cents per pound, and I return him only 12 cents; then he could put in a claim that I had defrauded him out of 3 cents per pound, Now, then, who I8 to be the judge of the facts? I would claim that I sold the butter for 12 cents, and that that was all It was worth In my judgment, or all that I could get for it. How would you go about disproving my assertion after the but- ter had been sold and consumed? All that a commission man can do is to sell the goods to the best advantage possible. If a commls- slon firm intends to do a dishonest business, and does not sent the shipper all that the goods bring, it is almost Impossible even then to convict, because it s so difficult to find the goods and identify them after they have been sold. The only thing that shippers can do, in my opinion, to protect themselves Is to ship thelr gocds to commission houses that have a good reputation and that they have confidence in. ——— Sill Voting for Senator In Oregon.
