in Southern California that will arouse
the people.
W. H. McFaddcn said that there was
much missionary work to be done in
Southern California, and some one would
be required to do it, Money would be
required. The speaker thought every
grower would be willing to put up, say,
- cents a carload He moved that q
committed Of five be appointed to report,
after lunch, on some permanent plan.
The chairman thought the only posi-
Die trouble might be in the question OF
pooling Che fruit. He suggested that
this matter be left TO be settled by each
association.
Mr.. Hall, OF Quartz, spoke on the i'll
justice of placing poor fruit on a similar
plane as first-claSs oranges. He outlined
plan which had been found to work
well at Duartc. The very difficulty sug-
gcSted 10y growers at this meeting had
arisen there. The man who tries to
raise oranges on ground not suited to Cit

every grower has perfect right to eX-
anime all books and correspondence and
Sc what is going on
BY getting from each grower, ut the
beginning OF the season, al estimate Of
the amount Of his crop. Of each variety,
the business eau be carried Oh in an in
tnlligcnt manner, and an idea formed as
to how fast the crop should be moved.
A grower called attention to til" fact
that some people might have It much
] trger number OF culES than Others and
the pr0rdting would be an Injustice.
Mr.. Chambln said that much Of the
trouble in the orange market had grown
out Of claims Of injustice in culing,
made against The packers. lie believed
that, taking one year with another, the
average of cullS would be cvcncd UP.
A grower said that orchards protected
by windbrcaks would show less culs
than others. Mr.. Chamblin replied that
in some windy sections there were very
few cullS.
1t was intmated by Il grower that this
plan might work all right where land
was even, as at Pomona and Riverside.
Other districts showed great differences,
the land running i'm StrrakS.
Mr. Chamblin said that in such cases
two associations mi CHIT be formed iii the
district. It was not proposed to pool
bright fruit with dull fruit.
Continuing the speaker Said that ~
one time early in the season by sacrifice
ing 200 carloads Of objectionable fruit,
worth at most 80 cent box, an increase
of IS cents u box might have been Oh
tanned on 800, 900 boxes, equivalent to an
increase OF $50, 600.
Another grower expressed fear lest fine
oranges might have to prorate with poor
ones in the same district, and thought
that it might be temptation to growers
to save fertilizers and make money at
the expense of their neighbors.
Mr.. Chambin said that the asSocia-
ton provided for letting out any grower
who did not take care Of his fruit. Re
vcrting to the Gull question he said that
by pooling the cullS from 25 to so per
cent might be extracted that could be
shipped. 1t would pay the growers to
bury the rest. The speaker reiterated
that poor fruit would not be allowed to
pool with fine fruit The individual
grower is constantly seeking to have his
fruit put upon the market in the hopes
Of getting something for it, a great
many carloads have been shipped this
season without any hope of getting any
thing beyond packing and freight. Such
fruit demOraliZes the market. Conditions
change from orchard to orchard from
one year to another. Unless existing
evils are corrected, within twelve months
there will be a depression and stagnation

save an important industry. We are
not trying to find out who struck Billy
Patterson, but to remedy the evils
caused by the blow. At present, growers
are brought into active competition with
each other. The man who represents
|, goo carloads watches the man who rep
rcscnts 500 carloads and does ali he can
to prevent the sale Of the other growers
fruit. Shippers allow rebate, and thus
capture trade from competitors in the
same locality. All this shows the great
advantage Of organization. Some ship
perS, who have Eastern houses, sell in
small lots at actual cost in California +.

afford to order i'll competition with such
a system. In one market, whore there

proposed to deprive any shippers Of the
business they had built up. Let them
end in their orders, if they can places
however, have to be content with a profit
Of So per car, which ought to be Suffi-
cient for any reasonable man. There
has undoubtedly grown up prejudice
in the East against California oranges.
When fine oranges sell in the East at 50
cents a box, it is the duty of the press to
rally to the support of the industry. Re
turns had recently been seen Of 1925 to $50
d car for fruit that had been sold at good
prices in the East Fruit had been re-
failing in the East at $3.50 a box When
such fruit only returned the grower 90
cents a box, there must be an evil to tie
corrected The orange growers them
selves are the only ones who can correct
it.
Six thousand cars at cents a box
would yield $90,0OO For that amount
we can, said the speaker, take fifty active
young men and put one into more than
every State in the Union, pay them $3.50
a month during the season and have
$50, 900 to pay incidental expenses. Or
we can hire thirty men, keep them tray
cling for six months and still have big
surplus. Then, when Il buyer rejects Il
carload of fruit he would, within a few
hours nave an agent at his side to see
why it was rejccted. The growers must
get rid Of the idea as to localities, and
that each grows the best fruit in Amer
lea. Many Of the objections made to the
proposed plan would vanish when it
came to practice. 1t might be found,
at first, that it would cost these Organi-
cations a little more to handle the fruit
than later on, but they could well afford
to pay, say 10 cents a box to place such
an organization on solid basis. The
next crop will probably be moved at a
lower rate than the last one

while we have dealt with the latter in NO
spirit of unfriendliness, we have felt
that it was our duty and not their priv
Iege to make the tariff schedules. Those
who concede the right of beneficiaries to
nix their bounties, must necessarily COM
init to them the framing and wording of
laws by which those bounties are Sc
cured to them. A committee of congress
thus becomes merely the amanuensis of
the protected interests.
Instances are next cited in which it is
claimed schedules have been framed in
the words of the men representing the
interests to be protected, and then the
report continues:
Every Tax Upon the Producer
falls with increased force on tn con-
sumner. Every tax ON the producer in
this country is a protection to his COM
petitors in all other countries, and so
narrows his market as to limit the num-
Der, and lessen the wages of those to
whom he can give employment.
Repeal Reciprocity.
1t is the purpose of the present bill to
repeal in toto, sect On of the tariff act
of Oct. 1, 1890, commonly, but most er-
roneously called its reciprocity provision.
That act placed sugar, molasses, coffee,
tea and hides on the free list, but au-
thorized the president, should he be salts
fed that the government of any other
country producing such articles imposed
duties upon the agricultural or other
products of the United States, which he
might deem reciprocally unequal land un-
reasonable, W suspend the provision
under which these articles We're admit
ted into this country free. This section
has brought no appreciable advantage
to American exporters, is not in inten-
ton or effect provision for reciprocity
but for retaliation.
The state of the treasury is touched
upon and the statement made that some
schedules arc left higher on that account
than they otherwise would be.
The change from specific to ad
va1orem duties is commended and the
reciprocity clause of the Mckinley bill
condemned. |
Considerable space is also used in
commenting upon changes in certain
schedules, such as iron, tin and sugar. ;
The majority report is signed by the
Democratic members of the committee.

KILLED HER RIVAL

a 16-Year-OId Girl Commits . Cold
Blooded Murder al Deadwood, SD.
DEADwooD, s. D., Dec. 20.-One Of
those cold blooded, disgraceful murders,
supposed to be characteristic of this city,
occurred at 9:15 p. m. in one of the rear
rooms of the Mascot saloon. u
The murderer, Austie Trevis. a sirl
only 16, is an inmate of Belle. Haskill's
bawdy house, and her victim was Mag
gle McDermott, formerly Of Sioux City.
For some time there has been trouble
brewing between them on account Of
the love they both cherished for Frank
Debelloy, a gambler. A meeting was
held between the three to give Debelloy
a chance to decide which of the two he
loved. The decision seemed to be going
in Maggie's favor when the Trevis girl
drew gun, and with the words, eff
can't have him, you can't, shot the Nc
Dermott girl. She lived about 10 min.
utes, during which time she was uncon-
scious. Debelloy was arrested with the
Trevis girl as an accessory.

ROAD MAKING.

Investigation by the Agricultural Depart
mont Is Giving Good Results.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The investi-
cation Of road management and good
construction throughout the United
States, now conducted by the agricul-
tural department, is meeting with val
liable results. The cooperation of the
governor and secretary and geologist of
each state in the Union, of railroad Off
Gals and of other persons, has been OBJ
tanned and they show warm interest
in the work.
Many members of congress also have
responded to circulars sent out by As
sistant Secretary Willets and General
Roy Stone, the special agent in charge
of the inquiry. State biologists
are beginning to supply informa-
ton and 80 railroad companies
have sent in reports of the engineers or
other employees. This information is
being tabulated, and when all has been
received the Office will prepare map
showing the location and cost of the best
road materials throughout the country.
A bulletin outlining the new road
laws of IA states, and giving recommen-
dations made by influential public
bodies, not yet carried into legislation,
has been completed, and soon will be
issued. The advance in road legisla-
ton, the bulletin says, proceeds ON 10
distinct lines.
More rigid provisions for operating the
old systems without radical change of
systems themselves, more liberal tax
levies, substitution of money levies in
place Of labor; local assessment accord
ing to benefits for construction of new
roads; construction by townships with
power to issue bonds; construction by
counties, state highway commissions,
provisions for working convicts; dir It
state aid to road building and the build
ing of state roads.
Expert Stone in his bulletin says:
'The new law of Tennessee is consid,
cred the best example of the first class, 4
giving the county courts full power and
direct control over the whole subject of
roads; eliminating the evil influences of
local politics, and the generally prevail
ing easy going methods. The court class
ines the roads and appoints commission
ers and assesses the road taxes.
Vermont, New Hampshire, North
Dakota and Oregon are deemed conspic-
uous examples of the class of increased
tax levies, the last named allowing
county courts to levy special tax of so
cents on the 800, and So per head for
county road fund.
