There is in this ncighborhood Little

As there is no future certainty the Prohi-
bitionist's election is possible. All in
telligent disinterested ones say there Is
no issue between Bryan and Taft. But
the liquor question is discussed in every
heart, home and mart. The one side

domestic unhappiness, vice, prisons,

WRONG CONDITION
Oranges Handled for Dealers
Benefit Alone
wOLyESIN SLEEPS CLOTHING
Growers Should Get Together
And Protect Themselves and
Market the Crop

Editor Tribune;-The fallacy Of the
brokerage plan Of marketing oranges is
well illustrated In the remarkable condi-
tons that already exist In the small mar
ket OF Selma, Ala, this date August 81.
Two buyers Of Tampa and one Of
Jacksonville, who pose as honest brokers
and solicit fruit under the contract Of
packing at cost and selling the fruit for
ten cents per box, have all knocked at
the same door in Selma.
One offered his fruit for S2.10 deliv-
cred, the second at $l.9S delivered, and
the third at Sl.SS delivered. The third,
whose odoriferous tracks are to be found
at almost every shipping point in South
Florida in the way of unpaid debts and
broken contracts, agreed to meet all
competition.
Now, each of these brokers has pledged
the growers that he would use all dill
gence possible" aud his great expert
ence and facilities" to obtain the highest
possible price and thus make the great
est ~ possible return to the grower
Yet each one tells this sarge buyer in
Selma that he is satisfied II he can clear
81 90 per box on the trees,
Remember Mr.. Grower that LOO per
box measured in field crates really
means, in the majority Of cases, SO cents
per packed box.
Here is clearly breach Of trust.
49, rbese same buyers -wsSs members OF
that hat Nsgasf sct.ry loo'- -e.tspd
agreed to report a crop os We y
\ boxesof oranges and that fruit ! No.
only fifty cents box on the :,
They are perfectly willing to che fe
grower out of his own money, r. the
country of its income and ruin the great
est industry in South Florida, II they
can only get their ten cents a box and
handle large number of boxes.
They have presumed, as usual, on
deceiving the growers, they pay but
very little attention to packing and
place the fruit anywhere, at any price,
Just SO they get rid of it. They get
their ten cents and the cost of packing
first, and the grower pockets the losses.
If these conditions prevail when there
is only half crop as there is this year,
what will be the condition with full
crop.
The grower has but one means Of
salvation.
Quit giving his fruit away to the
brokers and commission men. Make
them buy it outright and pay our price,
or combine with us and sell It in the
market of the country, the same as
California does.
Over 200 growers through the Florida
Orange Growers company--ar incorpor-
ated association--have combined their
interests and will, in few days, be sell
ling their fruit to the wholesale dealers
through the coinpany's statesmen direct.

TRAFFIC LEAGUE WILL
FIGHT LADING BILL
Shippers Are Bitterly. Opposed
to Proposed Ten Per Cent
Increase.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14-The National
Industrial Traffic league has begun
anew It's fight on the new uniform bill
Of lading. AT meeting held yester-
day the executive committee OF the
league instructed the bill Of lading
committee to collate all of the objec-
tions TO the uniform bill of lading and
present them to the executive commit
tee at its January meeting In addi-
tion to this the executive committee is
going to try TO get the railroads to re-
consider the clause of the bill which
provides for 4 10 per cent advance in
the rate when tho carrier accepts ship
ments at the carriers risk. or when
the shipper does not wish to abide by
the restrictions Of the bill of lading.
1t is understood that the league did
not receive much encouragement from
the interstate commerce commission
with respect to an attack upon the bill,
but it is thought that if the railroads
persist in the 10 per cent clause the
matter will be taken into the courts.
1t is contended by the shippers that 20
charge more than the extra insurance
upon the shipments is illega' and that
these extra insurances cannot be meas"
ured at the same figures for all COM
modities.
