LEAGUE TO BE FORMED AT

RAILROAD RATES TO BE CARE
FULLY PRoBED
Committee Will Be Appointed by the
Northern HorticuIturists TO Estab-
Iish Themselves Against
Profit Consumers
Associated Pressl

WATSONVILLE, Cal, Dec. 10.-With
the adoption of a resolution which pro-
vides for the organization of a league
of fruit growers which will consider
the railroad rate and other problems of
the fruit industry, the annual conven-
ton of the California Fruit Growers
association closed its four-day session
today.
The resolution calls for the appoint
ment of a committee to prepare for the
forming of a league which is to assem-
Bile at Sacramento as soon Is possible
and begin it's deliberations on the rate
problem, standardization of fruit packs
and uniformity of fruit boxes.
1t was also resolved that President
Taft, the secretary of war and mem
bers of congress be memorialized and
urged to establish a federal steamship
line in the Pacific to connect with the
Panama railroad and the Atlantic
steamers so as to furnish a freight
route which will compete with the rail-
roads.
To Increase Powers
Increased powers for the interstate
commerce commission, permitting the
commission to prevent any advance in
freight rates unless found to be Just
and reasonable by the commissioners,
will also be asked, and the resolution
further urges that the capitalization of
rail and express companies be regulat-
ed in such d way that the transporta-
tlon charges made by each company
may be readily controlled by law.
Another resolution adopted holds taat
the state horticultural laws are incom-
plete, and the legislature is asked to
amend so as to empower county super
visors to pay salaries and other eX-
penses for horticultural work.
The passage of a law to control the
manufacture and sale of insect killing
drugs is the subject of another resolu-
tion, which urges the placing of this
matter ON the same footing as food
stuffs and under the pure food restric-
tions.
The establishment of chair of agr-
cultural economics at the state univer-
sity was also recommended, and several
members of the university faculty are
warmly praised for their work at the
state university farm.

Few changes in the figures Of Tues

Of the canvass Of the vote by the city

way change the result as a whole, and
only change the majoritios Of some
OF the Good Government candidates

number of votes and Houghton being

gart gained over 100 votes and Myers
in the neighborhood of 800 votes. The
canvass raised, instead of lowered, the
majorit.es Of every Good Government
candidate for the city offices.
Although large majorities are shown
for the sale of the city hall and city
jail properties, these two propositions
were lost because they failed to secure
two-thlrds majority of all the votes
cast at the election. according to the
charter provision. While the vote on
these propositions was two to one in
their favor, only about half the ballots
cast at the election We're marked for

they lost.
