this long and important step in The
direction of economy all along TIE
line.
Control of Purse Strings
1.-THE constitution gives the house
practical control of the purse strings
of the country and the house insists
firmly on exercising that control that
appropriation bills be reduced to the
needs of the country generally. 1t IS
our duty to provide every dollar
needed for the proper and economical
conduct Of the government. but it is
equally our duty to prevent waste and
extravaganza in public expenditure
for we should never forget that 1t is
a difficult task for millions Of fani.' es
to live now in decency and con.fort
Surely it is the part Of wisdom
craftsmanship, humanitarian and pa
triotism to legislate so as to reduce
their burdens. No good citizen de-
slres to cripple the govs~nmen, in any
legitimate function, but no good citi-
zen desires that the people be loaded
down with taxes.

BUSINESS IS
LOOKING UP
Manager of Wholesale Grocery
House Says Conditions in Val
ley Are Improving
HAY AND POTATOES ARE
ENJOYING POPULARITY
But One Lot of Wool Has Been
Disposed of This Season-Un-
usual Wheat Purchase for Ship
ment to Japan

"Rusiness is looking up" said Thom-
as CARLYLE, manager of the Yakima
Grocery company, which does a very
large business in North Yakima ans
throughout the Yakima valley. ans
that is the reason you see this smile
on my face. I always smile when
Business is good and I am particularly
iubilant right now for things are be-
beginning to hum. Money is easier
and work Is more plentiful. Every
BODY is feeling better and working
harder and when they feel good ans
work until they are tired they eat
more and that helps trade. Seriously,
though, I find great improvement
in the past week or two and splen-
did outlook. There are no material
changes that I know of in prices but
there is steady and growing de-
mand all along the line"
Alfalfa Market Surprises
There have been several surprises
in the alfalfa market owing to the
fact that Seattle and sound buyers
have been through the valley offer
ing from four bits to a dollar above
the quoted price One buyer took
out 100 tons frobm the Outlook coun-
try and a second took 200 tons, the
latter paying 81 per ton. Alex Nc
Greedy of Wapato says there is very
little hay held in his section and while
he has none to offer he had been in
formed that the price was stiffening
steadily
Spuds are in excess of $40 a ton -
the lower valley and as there rs de-
mand for seed some Of the growers
are holding for higher figures. The
crop has been fairly we'll cleaned up.
and it is reported that California, for.
once in it's career is asking for Wash
ington spuds. There are those who
expect to see late holdings run a.
high as $40. /.
Only One Wool Sale
But one lot of wool, some 200 sacks.
have been sold this year. The grow
ers and the dealers are cent or two
apart and are likely to stick there
for some time. The growers do not
want to come down and the buyers say
they can not see their way clear to
going up and that is the situation DIT
present. The one man who sold thinks
he made good business deal under
the conditions but is willing to see
the market advance in order that the
others may make more. The price
offered now gives some remuneration
to the wool men, though not a great
profit.
Much Wheat Purchased y
There has been an unusual amount
Of wheat purchased for shipment -
Japan and other Oriental countries
within the recent past, but those extra
purchases at this time have not been
sufficient to hold the price steady In
Chicago, and the low point for years
was touched this week. One of the
reasons for the large sales Of wheat %
the Orient recently is because Of the
desire Of the importers to take ad-
vantage of the rate war in force On
trans-Pacific freighting lines. That
war has been settled, and the old rate
of SO to Japan will be resumed June
