Addresses by the president of the Los

eral prominent men who formerly lived
in Minnesota ushered in a series of
meetings of members of the Federation
of State Societies last night at the
meeting held by the Minnesota State
society under the auspices OF the cham

OF that organization. The meeting
marked the first of many that will be
held under the auspices of the cham
Der. Five hundred persons were pres

President Joseph Scott of the cham
Der welcomed the "gophers' as citizens
of Los Angeles and said that Los An
geles recognized their influence on the
prosperity and settlement OF Southern
California. when in san Francisco
he said, u noticed that they looked on
an Angeleno as coming from the east.
In fact, they asked me if it was not
true I answered that 1 was proud to

ing lemon trees, irrigating, smudging,
spraying, fertilizing, etc, and eluci-
dated the various methods of treat
ment ard gave averages of the ex-
pense involved.
Explains Methods
The cost of picking, packing, sorting,
washing, preceding, icing, etc, and
the methods employed were then ex-
planned, following which he confirmed
statements already quoted as to the
expense of maintenance, the prices re-
ceived the profits shared, etc., his tab
ulation of figures reducing the net re-
suits in many instances to an astound-
ing loss.
He was asked by Commissioner
Prouty to explain why it is that many
growers are budding over to lemons
and that the lemon acreage is increas-
ing. Mr. Hampton, led in his eXplana-
ton by the questions of Attorney Call
replied that this was because citrus
growers had not believed the new rate
would be established and that some
still believed the old rate would be re-
stored, and explained that while IS per
cent of the growers might be said to
operate their citrus industries at loss,
or with a meager profit, the other 20
per cent, which represented the larg-
est owners, made considerable money,
even under present conditions. This
was explained by Mr.. Call at the out
set, when he stated that the question
of labor entered largely into the citrus
problem. The leading citrus growers
avoid heavy losses in the wholesale
handling and shipment of their fruits.
in the employment of cheap foreign
labor and in the operation of their own
pre- cooling, icing and packing plants,
he said, from all of which they save
enough to permit them to pay the eX-
cessive railroad rates and still make
money. The smaller dealers, however,
who do not own these facilities or
possess the advantages aCcruing from
such wholesale methods must operate
at a loss.
1t was at this iuncture that Com
missioner Prouty. amused at the situa-
ton as explained to him by the COM
plainants. remarked that the citrus
growers seemed to be operating at
loss and supporting themselves.
The witness was turned over to the
defense for cross examination. when
the commission adjourned until 10
o'clock this morning.

Would Increase Market

Mr. Woodford estimated that re-
duction of 20 cents a box would in
crease the consumption one-third. He
based this theory on the fact that the
reduction of 90 cents a box in 1908, UNI
der the price of 1907, increased the con-
sumption % per cent
The price OF oranges to retailers
now is about 81 per box less than it
was ten or twelve years ago, said Mr..
Woodford. This is due TO the fact that
better methods of handling has re-
duced the decay. Oranges are now far
less perishable than they were ten
years ago. They are shipped practi-
cally throughout the year. where form
erly they were shipped only at certain
seasons lie did not consider oranges
or lemons under the present methods
Of treatment as perishable as other
fruits. Chicago jobbers, he said are
contcntcd with a profit Of from 10 to
% per cent, but jobbers in the smaller
ceuters demand a profit Of so per cent.
These demands must be met with in
the marketing of the product, and the
grower and shipper must get freight
rates permit them to put their
product into the market so that the
retailers demands can be considered.
In other words, the railroads must
not be allowed to RObble ali the profit.
Conditions have changed so that the
railroads can make faster time and
carry more oranges in a car than in
years past when the rates were lower.

Acting on suggestions from the Unit

sibly entered the list for speculative
purposes, Secretary of the Interior Bal
Hinged telegraphed from Washington to

of Los Angeles yesterday that appli-
cants who filed would not be allowed
to transfer their privileges in the draw
ings to others. The order from Wash
ington practically kills the chances of
any Yuma applicant selling his position
to another.
The telegram from Mr. Ballinger
reads:
Yuma applicants holding the ten

permitted to waive entry in favor
of other persons. If they waive
right within ten days you will no
tify all others who presented cards

Rates Offset Tariff

THE railroad increase in freight rates
following closely on the increase in the
duty on Siciian lemons, prevented the
California producers from deriving any
benefit from the higher tariff on Slcllan
lemons.
When he had fully reviewed the his
tory of the tariff increase, Mr.. can
asked the pertinent question: Did con-
gress intend that increase 10 benent
the railroads or the industry"
The second subject involved in the
hearing-that of the arbitrary refrig-
Grafton charge of $50 a car for fruit
preceded and pre-iced by the shipper
was then discussed. Mr.. Call con-
tended that while the carriers trans
port the extra weight of ice free
the high freight rate has always been
justified by the railroad companies on
the ground that it includes the cost
of hauling the ice"
Mr.. cali stated that half the oranges
and all the lemons are shipped under
ice.
IF we can get reasonable rates. "
he said, eve can revolutioniZe this
business with our modern facilities
and climatic advantages, and furnish
the consumer with a cheaper and better
product"
Mr.. call then discussed the third
propoSltlOn-tnat tne fale on oranges
is too Highland reviewed the attempt
made several years ago to obtain a
lower rate. At that time the interstate
commerce commission declared S10
was a reasonable rate. but it lacked the
power to enforce it. The railroads,
however. compromised later by lower
ing the rate 10 cents a hundred pounds
to $1.15.
Commissioner Prouty here interposed
n question relative to the satisfaction
of the service.

fornia to nearly all of the eastern
markets. 1t developed during l9O2-V4
that the lemon industry of California
was being destroyed by this high rate
and by the fact that foreign competl-
tion became much keener, and therein
the Sicilian and other competitive
growers secured an unfair adYantage'
During this memorable PERIOD Wleu
hundreds Of men in California lost thelI
fortunes. lemon trees were dug up and
supplanted by walnuts and other trees
or were rebudded. The acreage de-
creased to an alarming extent, ana the
railroads deemed it best to lower the
rate. said Mr.. Call, first to what was
known as a "winter relief or emer-
gency rate. while lemon prices in the
east were at the lowest; and, second,
to what was called a year around
rate" Of 81. 81
Following the establishment of this
lower rate. the lemon industry revived
supporting this contention, Mr.. Wood
ford and Mr.. Hampton testified that
they knew of many instances in Whlch,
as a result of the lower rate, the trees
had been budded back again and thou-
sands of acres replanted to lemon trees.
This redevelopment of the lemon indus
tyr had continued until the railroads
announced their present new rate OF
S1.15, when conditions again changed
and growers became discouraged.
There was every reason to believe that
up to the recent advance the year
around" rate would prevail and the
acreage would continue to increase.
THE evidence will prove" said MT
Call. that there has been no change
in conditions, save increased protection
given to the industry by congress, to
Justify the present unjust and arbitrary
rate"
Mr.. Call intimated that the railroads
had imposed the arbitrary rate to reap
larger profits from the market eondi-
tions which it was believed would re-
suit from the so per cent increase in
the duty on Sicilian lemons imposed by
