WILL TAFT BECOME
PROGRESSIVE
Roosevelt's Victory in New
York Shows Trend
of Opinion.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 30
Those who are on the inside in adj
affairs are inclined to
believe that President Taft is more
than willing to meet the insurgent
element of the republican party more
than half way in order that the work
of the administration may be better
facilitated. One man who is in po-
sition to know, said today:
''Roosevelt's victory at Saratoga
makes it apparent that if the admin
istration would accomplish anything
of Importance this winter, it must
come out strongly progressive.
Taft is expected to incorporate his
plans for his fall campaign in his
speech to be delivered at New York
city Saturday. The president is de-
termined to accomplish all that is
possible during the short session of
congress. The victory of Col. Roose-
welt is expected to prove a stimulus
to insurgency all over the countl?.

CLUB REORGANIZATION
DR.. King States That His Plan for Change in CONNER
cial Club Should Not Have Been Given Publicity and
That the Plan is Dead-Advocates Loyalty to Only
City Boosters Organization.

During the past several weeks
there has been considerable discus
sion among the commercial club
members over the reorganization
plans of President ID. w. King. Last
Tuesday evening the matter was
presented by DR.. King to the board
of directors, but it was not favor
ably received. Since that time there
has been considerable adverse criti-
cism on the street of the plans, and
DR.. King, in justice to himself and
to the organization, has made pub
lie statement that the matter will not
be further advocated during his
administration. He believed that
the plan was a feasible one, but if
the club members are not favorable,
as he sees they are not, the matter
will be dropped. DR.. Kings state
ment is as follows:
To the Members of the Wenatchee
Commercial Club:
A few days ago a statement ap-
peared in the Daily World that |
had submitted plan for reorgani-
cation and proceeded TO quote me.
Just what motive prompted the CIV
ing to the press Of this piece OF
garbled news, l submit to your con-
illusions.
There is something wrong with
the Commercial Club. We all real
ize it, and the last meeting was held
for the purpose of ascertaining what
could be done for the organization.
In order to create interest and slim
ulate a thorough discussion, | SUBJ
mitted a plan-the report of which
was partly correct-more for the
purpose of stimulating the latent
forces of the trustees; in other
words, to bring out discussion that
was not intended for publication.
There is no idea of re0rganiZing on
such a plan. There has never been
any such idea entertained. / have
been unselfish in my efforts for the
upbuilding of strong, healthy, Wig
orous commercial organization.
have endeavored TO be fair, just and
generous in presiding over your de-
alterations.
Outside the assembly rooms |
have worked earnestly and continu-
ously for the upbuilding of our town
and valley and I do not regret the
personal sacrifice | have made.
can stand your personal criticism
but the organization can not, and it
is the duty of every public spirited
citizen and property owner in this,
valley to aid and assist in building
up a stronger commercial organiza-
ton instead of trying TO hamper and
discourage the live wide awake ant
public spirited citizens who have
stood behind the organization from
its birth

SAYS PRICES
ARE HIGH
ENOUGH
Conrad Rose Takes Critic to
Task for Story on Low
Prices Being Paid.

A number of articles have recent
ly appeared in your paper written
by Ira D. Edwards, the real estate
dealer, which both show the lack of
knowledge of the subject as well as
misrepresentation of facts. These
real estate stories may be alright
in the real estate business, but can
hardly be seriously considered from
a business standpoint. The truth is
only partially told when it comes to
the prices growers receive for their
fruit Only the top prices for linn
tied amount of the cream of the Or
chards are ever printed or told
The fruit business in the west up to
this time has been only in its in
fancy and larger increases must be
expected from now on. Mr.. Ed
wards last article mentioned prices
which we were paying or offering
and were wrong Had he taken the
time to have interviewed any of the
growers to whom prices were named
he might have at least told the
truth. In a previous article he re-
fers to the price that Hood River
growers were netting for their fruit.
1t is a fact that growers in We
natchee receive double the returns
per acre for their fruit that the
Hood River growers are on an aver
age. Hood River published prices
are like some of Wenatchee, s-made
not with the idea of giving the &C
tual facts but rather to influence
realty values. Last year there was
fifty cents per box between the
highest prices published which COW
erred eighty boxes and the next size
of apples of the same grade.
We believe that the real trouble
this year lies in the fact that the
average growers do not know the
real conditions. Last year the gov
eminent report gave Washington
80 per cent of a crop and this year
SO per cent, while as a matter OF
fact the crop this year in Washing
ton is five times more than last
year. We might go on and explain
more fully the conditions, but are
not inclined to enter into any
lengthy argument with people who
have no other than realty value in
terests in the subject.

Isaiah Cook, who paid a heavy

complaint was that he has been driv-
ing across cement sidewalks. He
claims ignorance of the law, but will
be given a hearing before Judge
Palmer.
The ordinance protecting cement
sidewalks from this abuse has not
been given much attention. AS a
result some of the new improve
ments are already showing undue
dilapidation. Chief Inscho an
nounces that the law in regard to
this matter will be rigidly enforced
hereafter.
