\ Cue SfiouatIc Bill

The fruit growers OF the Yakima val
commission men in that part of the
state aud they are seeking relief through
the state legislature \ bill is to be
presented. whic ii passed, will compel
all commission men az firms to- deposit
with the state auditor $4,000 cash bond
before they can do business
1t is questionable whether such a bill
will ever be >eriously considered by the
legislature, or, if considered and passed,
whether it would be constitutional.
This would compel every such commits
sion house to practically lock up in the
safe of the state auditor the sum of $4,000
for al indefinite period or so long as
they were in business. The proposition
is an absurd one on the face of it, and
would be class legislation. Then again
it would be equally as consistent to re-
quire of wholesale grocers or any other
business to put up similar cash deposit
with the state before going into business.
Swindlers thrive in every community,
and farmers, as rule are easy victims.
The blame then lies with them in not
exercising greater care in the selection
of their commission men. There should
be no difficulty in doing that, especially
as the fruit men have an organization
through which they can act intell-
gently. If they find dishonest COM
