PER YEAR. $4 oo 1 a* NATIONAL WORK. «* 1 The means of acquiring, as well as the method of handling, large shipments of pa- per from the national advertisers has grown to be a factor of primary importance In the affairs of the outdoor advertising world. No treatment of this subject would be complete without at first introducing -the question of official solicitors, who are designated and appointed for the purpose of drumming up business of this nature for the members of the Associated Bill Posters, at a stipulated rate of commission. On many previous occasions we have stated our position in regard to solicitors, which once m?re summarized is this: As many solicitors as possible should be invited and encouraged to talk bill posting to ad- vertisers, provided, of course, they conform rgidly to a necessary code of rules. . The failure to observe this provision of adhering faithfully to the rules set down has heretofore served as a hitch or impedi- ment to the progress of the business, and even at the present time it plays no unim- portant part in the many difficulties that be- set the bill poster's path. That commiss'ons have been split and are still being too fre- quently divided with the advertisers is a well known fact, and that this custom, which is the result of keen rivalry among the solicitors and large metropolitan bill posting plants, is decidedly baneful in its ef- fect can be seen at a glance. Then, wherein lies the remedy? This question is indeed a puzzle, to which no ade- quate answer has yet been forthcoming. And this Is'mainly the reason why a few members of the fraternity have fruitlessly been endeavoring for years to concentrate the soliciting business to the dictation and distribution of a single individual or Arm. But this was long agnj found to be such a hard and fast proposition as to be impractica- ble, unjust and accordingly Inoperative. For it soon became evident that in spite of discriminating regulations many bill posters were content to allow the regulation com- mission to ary solicitor, whether officially recognized or not, and this broadgauged view of the matter was an entirely sensible and reasonable one. But when some of the b'g advertisers began to learn a few of the Inside workings of the trade and essayed to send out their work direct trouble began in real earnest, for not only the bill poster, but . also tho solicitor, objected vigorously. The commission' which- the bill, poster grants the solicitor is not an exorbitant one, and cases of haggling or objecting are rarely heard nowadays. What Ib frequently a more serious matter from a bill .poster's point of view is the length of time he Is compelled to wait fcr his pay. Complaints of this nature usually cone from the smaller towns, and instead of any signs of abatement, they seem to be increasing. There is absolutely •no reason for this; and some measure of protection against this uncalled for and un- just practice is greatly to be desired and hoped fcr. As to the Ehowlng which the national adver- tiser should be accorded, let the contract speak for itself. Great care should be exer- cised, so that the exact locations, as listed, are used. And no excuse can be offered for a failure- to protect them. The work of In- spection should not be made a distasteful and perplexing task, but as simple and free from intricacies as possible. In short, the goods should be delivered In such an open, clear and unquestioned manner as to preclude the possibility of disputes. The bill posting price scale Is another im- portant matter which many national adver- tisers are puzzling their wits over, and asking for elucidation. Why there should be a dif- ference of 4 or 5 cents per sheet in posting some towns of equal population does not seem to admit of a logical explanation. As an il- lustration, why should the little Jersey towns of Plainfield, Orange or Elizabeth demand an equal rate of posting as Pittsburg, Cincin- nati or St. Louis? There may be a good and sufficient reason for this, and advertisers are clamoring to hear it. On the face of it. Angeles Record. Behind him at a distance of ten feet walked an individual, respectful, solemn—one who on any given occasion might willingly crcok the pregnant hinges of the knee. To the casual spectator the appearance of these two was not altogether withodt in- terest, for they looked like Beau Brummel . and his valet taking a constitutional down the Los Angeles Mall. An investigation, how- ever, showed clearly that the valet was only a figment of the imagination, and that the individual, who walked at the respectful dis- tance behind, was none other than a special officer of the law. The officer, on behalf of tho citizens of Los Angeles, was taking due precaut'ons to prevent Mr. Wilshire from taking the first ship for Australia. "In an ideal socialistic community," con- tinued Mr. Wilshire, in his best philosophic vein; "we should'have no need of special officers. As everybody would have everything that he or she might want, crime would be unknown and the necessity for special offi- cers would not arise." "But iv we hav socialism, wat chans 'av v.- - -.•-■..V A.

Wilshire and the Officer. "We will now go to the California Club, crack a bottle of wine, sample the terrapin, discuss socialism and contemplate the ter- rors cf a capitalistic system," said H. Gay- lord Wilshire to his companion. Mr. Wilshire was arrayed in his best summer suit, and looked as if the trouble about the writ of habeas corpus in the bill board case had given him a good appetite, says the Los I meeself of glttin' a job? Meeself I know nuth.n' but sptclal purleesman beezziness." "Plenty of jobs, my boy: plenty," said Mr. Wilshire, soothingly. "And no beelboar-r-ds?" "Probably no billboards. Everybody would have an equal share and would not be com- pelled unduly to advertise the merits of their goods." Mr. Harrison looked extremely doubtful but as he did not often get a millionaire pris- oner, ho said nothing, and quietly walked rp to the club, where he sat opposite Judge Ross at lunch. "We will go out to the golf grounds and ?,?,T\ a Iittle ex «rcise this afternoon." said Wilshire. as he lifted his champagne class and .drank to the health of the man of the "Let me drink to th' hilth iv the foinest gintleman that iver wint behind the, bars at the city prison," said the special officer. Meeself I feel as iv I was in nivin, whin I hav a foine gintlemin like yourself in hock. Your hilth, Mr. Wilshire." "You have never studied socialism, have you?" asked Mr. Wilshire. "No, I hivn't, but iv it makes me git 'alf iv the profits of the beelboard beesiness, then I'm wid you." "No, there is nothing individualistic in socialism. The great beauty of the system is that it never makes the individual uncom- fortable by applying particular theories to him. I am a socialist, and yet I am very comfortable. "And so im I," said the officer. "I im vary com-foort-able at prisint win I Hv like a king. I weel tak a sip more 'v th' fizz." After a luncheon which lasted three hours and which embraced all the delicacies of the season, Mr. Wilshire telephoned for a four-in- hand, and a good driver to take himself—a precious burden—and the man of the law to the golf grounds. On arriving at the grounds the prisoner stated that under an ideal, so- cialistic form of government the golf grounds would not be so far from the center of popu- lation. . "Will will, a foine socialist indaid," mur- mured the officer. "I sippose a fillow who loves the shikels as much as him must be moighty onsartain. I'll shtop the fun and put him where his blocmin' socialism won't do no harm—behin' the bars." , v V S i h . tcp tbe same," said the officer, impera- The game was "shtopped."
