Cash and Carry Plan Is Deferred For the Present Nothing Is Being Bone-—A mended State Plan Holds Up Final Action. The grocery situation in this city is something like a Jarbidge habitue's idea of a wrestling match, a sort of "Cash as cash can" affair. The con ditions were to be described in an ad vertlsement and the advertisement hasn't been written and probably will not be for some time to come, and In the meantime everybody is running along just as before, each firm doing as it pleases. The amendment to the original plan of "Cash and carry" set forth by the slate food administrator took the "pep" out of the movement here. There was relatively little opposition to the cash plan, only one grocer at the original meeting having strongly op posed it, w'hile there was some diffi culty in arriving at an understanding as to what w-as meant by cash. #Some contended that with the inauguration of a new system of carrying, it would be all right to leave goods once, or even twice, were the people not at home on delivery, and then collect on the second or third call, as the case might be. Others insisted that "cash" meant that the money should be paid over the counter. There was also some disagreement about the "carry" proposition, but it was agreed that should the new system be adopt ed, the purchaser should pay for the transportation. At this meeting, how ever, notice was received through the press that Food Administrator R. F. Bicknell had modified his attitude in accordance with the following state ment; "Unanimity of action on the part of the merchants of this state will prob ably be brought about by the decis ion to modify the cash and carry pro-1 gram. It was reached at a joint con ference of the members of the exe cutive committee of the state coun cil of defense and the executive com mittee of the United States food ad ministration for Idaho with R. F. Bick roll, administrator. Originally cash down for goods purchased and the abolishment of the free delivery sys tem was advocated. Under the modi fication 30 days credit, one delivery of goods a day, and a uniform charge for any deliveries made in excess of one free delivery each day, are recom mended." In addition to this some firms de sired to wait until their annual Janu ary meetings to determine which pol icy they would favor, and a number of others desired that this prifilege, so for the present things are just as they were. Pending further action those adopt ing the original cash and carry plan do so on their own responsibility.
