COMPRESS RECEIPTS ARE
DEMANDED BY BANKERS
Banks Say They Have No Protection
While Cotton Is on Compress
Wharf-Committee Meets.

Judge O.E. Dunlap, ex-president of
the Texas Bankers Association,
went to Dallas Wednesday morning
to meet and confer with committee
of bankers with reference to devils
ing some method of requiring COM
presses to issue receipts for cotton
that is placed on their wharves
Some definite action regarding this
matter is to be taken by the State
Bankers Association at the annual
meeting in Dallas in May Judge
Dunlap stated that the bankers
would require the issuance of re
eeipts by congresses or the banks of
the state would refuse TO handle cot
ton accounts. This demand is to be
made for the protection of the
banks. II is explained that under the
present method of handling cotton
when the staple is delivered to the
compress no receipts are issued on
same and the bank is absolutely
without protection. The banks want
something that will protect them
from the time the cotton leaves the
yard until a bill of lading is issued.

Town Without a Vote

With every voter in Jefferson town
ship, Adams county, Ohio, disfran-
chised for five years because they sold
their votes at the last election, the
question of how the county offices are
to be filed during the next few years is
attracting attention. The situation is un-
paralelled in the history Of the country.
II indictments continue to be turned
out in the near future as rapidly as at
the present time, other townships will
soon be in the same predicament.
Judge Blair, who sentenced the Of
tenders, has been asked to consider
this phase of the scandal and to provide
some form of legal government for JET
ferson township until the five-year dis
franchisement Of its citizens expires.
More than 1000 persons in Adams
county have been indicted so far, and
most Of them have pleaded guilty.

have been sent to some market. But
judging from the Yakima apples l have
seen at the stores here, and at Jackson
and Kalamazoo, l must say have my
doubts whether there are any sucf
handsome displays of Yakima apples tc
be found anywhere as that from Wenat
chez. So far as I can learn nobody il
Yakima makes a business of sending
out such a magnificent pack as oul
competitors to the north prepare fol
the Christmas trade all over this terri
tory.
If that is so, why is it so7 AS a
business proposition and as an advertis-
ing proposition, the Wenatchee system
is winner. These specially selected
apples were going at Sc to SO a box,
as against something like So for the
Yakima fruit, and at the same time
thousands of people were filled with the
belief that Wenatchee grows the finest
apples in the world.
I am not running the apple business
of Yakima; it is all I can do to run my
little newspaper. But as patriotic
Yakima citizen l feel called on to say
that 1 think there is certainly food for
thought for the apple producers OF our
section in this little episode. Eastern
markets for our apples are practically
unlimited. Prices are no object among
the people who buy our best apples. 1t
is no trouble to get the fancy prices.
All that is necessary is to send out the
fancy stuff. l have heard about the
Wenatchee pack. Until today l have
not believed there was much in the
stories. Now am compelled to be-
lieve. In this part of the country We
natchee apples have ours beaten 40
ways from the jack, as one of my
poker-playing friends observed. hope
that it is not so everywhere. | also
hope that a special effort will be made
to put specially selected Yakima apples
on the markets of Michigan next year.
Everybody in this part of the country
has heard of Washington as the great
est fruit-producing state in the Union
and nearly everybody appears to be in
terested in it and to desire information
about it. It will pay US to show these
people what we can do. w. w. R.

the state administration to the purchase
OF the Wenatchee bridge by the state
on the ground the expense is needless
and there is no occasion for the state
to own a bridge. Furthermore, there
is feeling among members OF the leg
islature that the Wenatchee Canal Com
pany is getting rights over the bridge
which should not accrue to any private
corporation.
The Washington Bridge Company, of
which Judge Burke of Seattle is mem
DER, is making determined effort
against the repeal of the law, and is
hoping for favorable decision by the
supreme court, making it mandatory on
the highway commission to consum-
mate the sale. In order to repeal the
puschase bill a majority vote of both
houses is required. The record
reason for the board not consummating
the sale as provided by the bill is the
adverse report by the engineers Of the
state highway commission who exam
ined the bridge and reported it defec-
tive.

Rhode Island has 508.5 persons to

at the lower end of the table.
Oregon and Idaho have fewer than
10 persons to the square mile. Idaho
has increased from 1.9 to 80. Wash
ington exceeds her neighbor, Oregon,

Resort for Meditation
tive

The most unusual building specifica-
ton ever filed in New York city has
recently been received at one of the
outlying offices of the building depart
ment. The document was filed by c.
G. Kolf, wealthy resident Of Staten
Island, who plans to erect at Emerson
Hill, a village named after Ralph Waldo
Emerson, log cabin as "philoso-
piers hail." to which men of contem-
plative mind may 60 for meditation.
His specifications are as follows:
Il propose to erect from the trees
growing in the forests Of Emerson Hill
log cabin with three windows, one
door and an open fireplace, and an
earthen floor.
1T is not to be occupied as resi-
dence, but as temporary place Of re-
treat and contemplation for lovers OF
nature, statesmen with political futures
before them and behind them, those
wishing to reflect on the gratitude of
the present and past generations; for
thinkers in general, for philosophers
born as such, or grown to be such by
trials of professional, commercial, polit-
ical strife and defeats"
Mr.. Kolff says he has already sent
out invitations to many prominent men
of the country to come to the cabin
and do their meditating. To each of
them, he says, he has promised the
use Of corncob pipe, to be hung on
the wall under his name after the med
itation is done, in case he wants it for
a second spell.

WENATCHEE BRIDGE
The Muddle viii Be Settled on or Before
January 13

Last week the state highway board
was ordered to buy the Wenatchee
bridge from the Washington Bridge
Company, as provided for by law OF
the last legislature, or show cause be-
fore the supreme court January Is why
this sale should not be consummated,
says a Wenatchee paper.
Some time ago the Washington
Bridge Company made tender to the
highway commission OF the bridge at a
reduced figure from that contemplated
in the legislative enactment. The bill
provided for the purchase OF the bridge
on the voucher showing, with interest
from the time OF the completion OF the
bridge till the consummation Of the
sale. The last tender was $140, 900;
but Attorney General Bell ruled the
board had no authority to purchase the
bridge on any other terms than those
specified in the law.
The writ is returnable January 13.
The legislative session opens January
s. The program for those opposing
the consummation of the sale is to try
to force the repeal Of the bill providing
for the purchase Of the bridge before
the supreme court gets chance to act.
Consequently it is likely that bill will
be introduced the first or second day
of the session, so the measure can be
killed before the date set for hearing
by the supreme court.
Unless the deal for the bridge is
closed before April the appropriation
will lapse. There has been deter
mined opposition by some members ol

STUDENTS TAKE UP SOCIALISM
Every College in the Country Has Clubs
Devoted to the Study of This IN

cialist vote in our state at the recent
election only partly reflects political
movement which has had an extraordi-
nary growth in the past ten years. The
student body of the country has also
taken up the study of Socialism. The
movement among collegians is attract
ing much attention among the literary
circles OF New York city, and the pop
ularity OF the movement among the
students is evidenced by the prepara-
tionns made to accommodate members
of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society
at its annual convention held in New
York city Thursday and Friday, De-
cember % and 80.
The program provided for morning
and afternoon sessions, at which ad-
dresses were made by ]. G. Phelps
Stokes, the millionaire Socialist and
president of the society; Lincoln Stef-
fons, the well-known publicist, and
John Spargo, author of several books
on socialism.
The eliminating feature of the con-
ference was the dinner Friday evening
last. The topic for the evening was
THE Place of College Men and Women
in the Socialist Movement. An en-
Tightening treatment of the subject was
assured by the presence of the follow
ing list OF speakers: DR.. Albert Sude-
kum, for eleven years Socialist member
of the German reichtag; Mrs. Florence
Kelley, we'll known in the field of labor
legislation; Upton Sinclair, Socialist au-
thor; Franklin H. Wentworth, speaker
and writer; Miss Elizabeth Dutoner
(Vassar, 1901), especially active in the
women's trade union movement, and
Walter Lippmann Harvard, 1900,
formerly president Of the Harvard So
cialist Club. ]. G. Phelps Stokes pre-
sided.
Among the colleges where affiliated
chapters for the study of socialism exist
are: Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Cornell,
Barnard, Wellesley, New York Univer-
sity Law School and the New York
School of Dentistry; the Universities of
Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Washington and Oklahoma,
Stanford University, Clark College,
Kansas State Agricultural College, Ma
rietta College, Meadville Theological
School and other institutions.
The society was organized in 1905
to promote an intelligent interest in
socialism among college men and
women"
1t is noteworthy in this connection
to observe that the great Chicago Uni
versity, often called the Standard Oil
university, to which Mr.. Rockefeller
recently gave $10,0O0,000, and had
previously given that much or more, is
not mentioned in connection with the
student movement. The study of social
questions from the standpoint Of the
Socialist, and, indeed, from any ad-
vanced or progressive point of view,
has never been popular in that institu-
ton. Some six years ago one Of the
professors in that university, Professor
Befnis, was fred out because in his lee
lures to his classes he deplored the
concentration OF wealth in the hands Of
few, and did not hesitate to condemn
some of the methods of predatory
wealth. He was told by President
Harper The teachers could not afford
to offend the class which paid their
salaries"

Opponents of the new lien law pro-
posed for passage by the incoming leg
islature have published little booklet
called Lien Law Facts, in which the
remarkable claim is set up that the
new law would make it impossible for
man with limited means to build
home, and that as the law now stands
any man owning piece of ground can
build a home on credit. The latter
part of the claim is readily admitted by
those who want the new law. That's
just the trouble, they say. The owner
can get credit and the contractor, sub
contractor and every man on the job
can get credit in the owners name
and at the risk of the owners property,
while risking nothing of their own.
The new law simply limits the owners
liability to the contract price. 1t does
not curtail his credit. If he wants
credit he can get it. But it does pre-
vent irresponsible parties from plaster
ing his home with liens for credit he
did not want or ask for. The little
booklet referred to gives the names of
an executive committee which heads
the opposition to the new law. Every
man named is engaged in producing
materials and naturally wants to keep
the lid off on credit.

A plan has been proposed for placing
all public service corporations in charge
of the state railroad commission and
creating a new state commission to re-
place the state tax commission, the
state poard of control, the departments
of the various state inspectors and like
offices. On the other hand it is pro-
posed that a new commission be or
ganized to absorb all of the state COM
missions and certain of the departments,
including the state railroad commission.
The matter will be presented at the
coming session of the legislature.
