[The following is an extract from a paper, 

 "Would a National Retail Association Benefit 

 the Entire Trade?" by J. B. Mayhew, Waxa- 

 hachle, Tex., read before the Western Association 

 «f Nurserymen, January 24.] 



The world is divided largely into two 

 classes: Those who do not believe in 

 organization, who are ' ' agin ' ' all forms 

 of organized effort, and those who allow 

 their ideas of organization to run riot. 

 And, again, those who believe that or- 

 ganization, to be effective, should take 

 special cognizance of their particular 

 business, doing for them what they 

 have not been able to do for themselves. 

 The members of this and similar organ- 

 izations take the position that organiza- 

 tion must be along lines of and for the 

 common good, and that the individual 

 benefits resulting from organized effort 

 are incident thereto. 



It is hard for us to get away from the 

 paternalistic in government, whether it 

 be organization for the proper safe- 

 guarding of society, which finds expres- 

 sion in municipal, state and federal 

 laws, or organization within social, busi- 

 ness or religious lines. The question of 

 what this particular organization is do- 

 ing for me, rather than what it is doing 

 for the common good, is a question that 

 will not down. We are inclined to view 

 life from our own circumscribed en- 

 vironment and I think I am not far 

 wrong when I say that this question 

 of retail organization was first con- 

 ceived in a spirit of retaliation against 

 imagined wrongs. "The retailer is not 

 getting a square deal in the American 

 Association of Nurserymen, because all 

 the affairs of the association are in the 

 hands of those who represent wholesale 

 interests." Have you not heard such 

 an expression, coupled with the veiled 

 threat that unless certain policies be- 

 lieved to be inimical to the interests 

 of the retailer were aboli.shed, the re- 

 tailers would secede and form an asso- 

 ciation among themselves? I believe, 

 men, that beyond any sort of question 

 this position is dead wrong and that 

 only harm to the nursery interests as 

 a whole could come from a further agi- 

 tation of this question. 



The A. A. N. Workers. 



I hold no brief to defend those who 

 have in the past been responsible for 

 the affairs of the American Association 

 of Nurserymen, but this one thing I 

 know, and you know, that there never 

 lived a truer and more unselfish corps 

 of men than those who have been re- 

 sponsible for the association's affairs. 

 They have labored while many of us 

 slept in peace; they have spent their 

 own money and traveled many thou- 

 sands of miles to protect the interests 

 of even the humblest man engaged in
