today to discuss plans for a great state

From all indications the farmers are

ATTACK ON LABoR-AGAINST
CLASS LEGISLATION.

NEW YORK, March 25.-Henry
CLOVIS in his weekly financial letter
this week says:
THE most disturbing issue in the
stock market is the political outlook.
The presidential campaign is growing
in intensity and more or less uncertain
" is inevitable until the nominations
can be ascertained.
The attempt of labor to secure
through the president exemption from
operation of the Sherman act and to
make itself a privileged class is absurd
and untenable. Whoever are responsible
for this movement their judgment is at
fault ana their conduct unwise. Such
cIass legislation will never be accepted
in the United States. and its advocacy
simply further diminishes the sympathy
and respect for the cause of labor
Labor had already secured its full
share of the prosperity which culmin-
ated in 1907, and it's refusal to take
its share of adversely, coupled with it's
determination to make itself a priv

FARMERS FAVOR
BULK GRAIN SYSTEM
STATE GRAIN INSPECTOR ARIA
SMITH PROBES PUBLIC OPIN-
ION IN NATTER.

SEATTLE, March 25.-"Generally
speaking. wheat growers in this state
favor the bulk system of handling
grain" said John w. Arrasmith, state
grain inspector, who was in the city
on visit to the local grain inspector
office. Growers believe that the bulk
system would save them the heavy ex-
pense of sacks and it is looked upon as
the cheapest and quickest way of get
ting the wheat out of the country.
The change will, in my opinion have
to be started in the country rather than
at tide water. Once it is known that
the growers are ready to handle the
wheat in bulk, preparations will wi,;'
out doubt be made to care for t a;
this end.
" should say that there is not to
exceed 20 per cent. of the old crop un
shipped, and possibly there is not more
than IS per cent still in the hands Of
growers. Thousands of bushels of this
however, will be needer to seed. There
will be an increased wheat acreage in
Douglas, Franklin and Yakima coun-
In nthnrO
year, which leads me to believe thai
the 1908 crop will be as large if no:
larger than that of 1907 There is a
good stand of fall and winter wheat
The winter was mild and snow covered
the ground when the few cold days
did come
Mr.. Arrasmith is of the opinion that
nothing in the way of federal legisia
ton covering the inspection of grain
will be passed by congress at this 5es
sion.
He says such legislation as is pro
posed would be a good thing, in SO
far as it would provide for the insprc-
ton of cargoes outward bound, and FRAT
it would protect the foreign buyers
particularly, and indirectly everyone
connected with the wheat business
Under the present system Mr.. ARA =
smith says the producer is the one most
benefited.
