Washington. April IA warning
against increased expenditures for
the military establishment Of the
United States was sounded in the
senate today by Senator Hale, chair.
man of the committee on naval af
fairs. The protest against too lib.
eral expenditure for army and navy
purposes was supported by several
other senators.
The discussion was based on a
signed article in the Washington
Post today to the effect that Secre-
tary Taft favored the enlargement of
the army to bring up the number of
active men to 125,000.
Senaor Hale said that the senate
did not seem to realize the fact that
20 per cent. of the total revenues de,
rived from taxation and tributes
were being expended for what had
been termed the needs Of the past,
present and future wars. when you
build up the navy" he declared, 'you
only begin to spend money"
- Senator Aldrich, discussing the
remark of Senator Hale, said that the
expenditures for this year would ex
ceed the receipts by $ss,0o0,0O0 where
as last year the receipts exceeded the
expenditure by s5O.OO0.OOO, differ
.ence Of $9O,0OO.000 which he declared
indicated an enormous deficit in the
national revenues.
sDid not the secretary of war,
asked Senaor Galliger, Gin re
cent speech favor large increase
in the army?"
Senator Warren said that he die
not know of such speech but hoped
that the country was growing fas
enough and rich enough to have al
army as large as had been suggested
by Mr.. Taft or anybody else.
'T hope not" said Senator Hale.
Senator Hale then left the chambe
and Senator Frye moved In his co.

GRAPE HARVEST
NEARLY OVER
Crop Will Be practically all
Secured by the Close
of Next Week.
HAVE SHIPPED 600 CARLOADS.
Will Probably be From $50 to
200 More Cars. Prices
are satisfactory.

The grape season is fast drawing to
close The heavy frost of last week has
hastened the harvest, and by the latter
part of next week the crop will prac-
tically all be secured and shipped. The
smaller growers are through now and the
heavy growers are fastening to the
finish.
There have been about 600 car loads
shipped to date and there will probably
be from 100 to 200 carloads more during
the week. The price, with the exception
of the first week of the season has been
exceptionally good, ranging from II to Ia
cents per basket, and some going high
er, l215 cents, has been the prevailing
price. During the hot weather Of the
first week, when growers were too anX-
ious to crowd the shipment the price
went as low as 9 cents. The season as
whole however has been indeed salts
stacto.y, and the growers are contented
and happy.
The freeze Of last week did very little
damage. In some localities where 1t
froze the hardest, it had tendency to
cause the grape to rattle from the bun
ches. and it is claimed that the favor of
the fruit was TO some extent impaired
The price has kept up however and no
one will suffer materially from the
frost.
