Macon News: The Georgia Fruit
Growers Association will hold the most
important meeting it has held this year
at the Hotel Lanier on May 10. The
object of the meeting is to receive the
report of the special committee APP
pointed TO select the commission houses
to be patronized this season. This re-
port will be highly interesting. as the
committee has gone carefully over the
list of commission houses and have
conferred with the shippers in regard
to them so that no mistake can be
made. This was done for the prOtec-
ton of shippers, as it is a well known
fact that many shippers have been
swindled out of the profits they should
have received by dishonest commission
men. Frank w Hazlehurst secretary
of the association, said that in his
opinion, the coming meeting would be
the largest in the history Of the or
ganizatio on account of the interest
felt and the fact that the growers are
waking up to their own interests.

The ST. Paul Globes Washington

The st. Paul Globes Washington
correspondent in speaking of Gov.
Van SAINT says: SIN addition to this
low estimate of his abilities and
character, there is believed to be
widespread sentiment that he is a
dangerous man; that his election as
governor would be standing menace
to the business interests of the state,
and that it is the patriotic duty OF
the conservative business element to
see that he is put where he will do nc
more mischief =" The opposition il
surely getting hard up for political
ammunition when it refers to the
governor as dangerous man and
standing menace to the BUSINESS in
terests of the state. If the enforcement
of the laws makes a man a dangerous
one, he is just the one the
people want, and they will have him.
But wont the Globe writer point Out
the business interests that are trem
bling because of the fear of Van SAINT.
They ought to be made known at once
And the writer should also point ou
, what it is about him that makes hin
dangerous Is simply asking that the
state laws be complied with, danger
GUS thing to do?

Endorsed Their Board.

Albert Lea Times: The house of
representatives of the Iowa legislature
have furnished an effective reply to
those opponents in Minnesota of the
board of control system who claim
that the adoption of that system has
proven a failure in Iowa and that our
Hawkeye friends are only waiting a
favorable opportunity to return to the
former method of control by local
boards and purchasing agents. The
Iowa house passed by an unanimous
vote, the biennial appropriation for
their board of control amounting in
all to more than $500, 600 and this
amount was less than $25, 600 OF the
total amount asked for by the board
itself in it's report. This vote is almost
equivalent to an unanimous endorse
ment by the members of the Iowa
house of representatives of the board
of control system, and our Minnesota
insurgents must look to some ether
quarter for support in their attacks
upon the common sense system OF con,
troll by central, non partisan, non-loca
board.
