AVIATION MEET
TOTAL FAILURE

The aviation meet Tuesday
afternoon was dismal failure and
the cause assigned by Wiseman
was a choppy wind. Surely there
were many many who were COM
pletelv disguised and who were I'M
stinted in their denunciation
However it is rather a serious thing
to contemplate. There were per-
haps 5000 people on the ground,
500 of whom were from Roslyn,
Gle Elum and Thorp.

NO MONEY FAMINE
BUT A PLETHORA

y Seattle banker, returning
from New York, reports that there
is an excessive supply of idle
money in New York. Bankers are
complaining of the inab lily to make
loans and of the low rates which
money earns at the present time.
American money is so plentiful
that large amounts are being loaned
in London at low rates.
Idle money is almost as bad as
idle men. There are hundreds of
industries to develop, thousands of
new enterprises which might be
started and prove profitable. Here
in this state of Washington there
are opportunities for the expendi-
ture of millions of dollars in profit
table productive industries; yet
here, as in New York, there is a
plentiful supply of idle money.
The most recent financial disturb
ance which afflicted the whole
world arose from the fact that the
demands for new capital had over
run the supply. So many new
enterprises had been foated, bust
ness with its demands for addition
al capital had expanded so fast,
that the available capital OF the
world became exhausted and the
market was crammed with undl-
gested securities.
Now development has been at a
halt for several years, that is, on
large scale. In the meantime the
savings of the world have accumu-
lated so that there is plethora OF
die money; money which is not
only idle, but the owners OF which
do not seem to be very keen to IN
vest it at present i'll any new enter
nrises. or even in the stocks OF

the banks of New York, and IN

crammed with money, living ldle'
drawing no interest or excessively
small interest, the stocks or the
most solid, conservatively managed
railroads, which have never missed
q dividend in years, are selling at
such low prices that the regular
dividends pay S per cent or better

MADGE MORRIS
FINED $500

Madge Morris was arrested and
tried before Judge Bonney Monday
forenoon on charge of selling a
bottle of beer to Deputy Sheriff
no Sunday night. Judge Bonney
fined her SIS and costs. The
question naturally arises, what
right has Madge Morris to sell
beer OH Sunday or any other day?
If the saloons pay license to sell
booze, why allow others to retail it
Sunday or any other day when the
city derives no benefit and the So
loon no protection? The man who
buys the privilege is entitled to pro-
lection of the law.

GROWERS
MAY COMBINE


ma Valley Fruit Growers Associ-
ton are in consultation in Callfor-
MIA with representatives of the
California Fruit Exchange for the
purpose of effecting what may be
styled harmony of interests and
the marketing of the fruit crop of
the Yakima valley through the
same agency which now distributes
the crop of the California assOcia-
ton in the East.
If the arrangement goes through,
the main portion of the Yakima
valley apple crop, estimated to he
about 1000 carloads this year,
will be handled as one parcel, go
through one agency and be distrib-
uted by that agency throughout
the east and to the markets of Eu-
rope. Under such system each
fruit grower will fare better than
if he handled his crop individually
and attempted to sell it through
commission men and brokers in
different cities.
Wherever the fruit growers in
any district have united in the
work of marketing their crops as a
whole through one agency they
have profited amazingly by it..
They have done so, while benefit.
ing the consumer at the srme time.
The only persons who have been
injured have been commission men
and brokers, among whom, un-
fortunately, there have been too
many who have not given a fair
deal to the fruit growers in the
past.
The proposal for harmonious
working between the California eX-
change and the Yakima association
is simply further extension of the
idea behind the formation of each
organization. 1t simplifies the sell
ing of the crop, insures its distrl-
button to the points where demand
exists, so that no one market may
be flooded while another one is dry,
and also insurers to the fruit grow
ers fair returns, without too much
being taken out for brokerage,

Today, no matter what the bust

of the medium which I wish to
talk. Marshall Field, I believe,
was said to have laid down the
rule: First show me that the paper
is the paper of the home and l will
take up the question of the size of
my advertising.
In other words, Mr.. Field held
to the theory that the newspaper
must be home paper, and to be a
home paper you must first print
the news that is fit to print. He
always said that he never cared to
advertise in paper whose circula-
ton was on the street and III the

GOOD ROADS
BEING BUILT
IN THE SOUTH
NO LESS THAN $4,000 MILES I'M
PROVED IN THE SOUTH WITHIN
A PERIOD OF FOUR YEARS.

That no less than $4,000 miles of
road were improved throughout the
south in the short period from 1904
to 1909, was asserted by Logan Waller
Page, director of the United States Of
flce of public roads, in an interesting
address before the National Good
Roads Association, at the convention
held at Birmingham, Ala, May 1926,
1911.
The additional miles of road that
have been improved make a total of
improved mileage of 42.28c, or SGT per
cent Of all roads in the south.
From this" said Mr.. Page In his
address, 1T will be seen that during
the brief period Of five years, the
south has increased the mileage of it's
improved roads by practically 100 per
cent, and this during what might be
termed transition period in the ad-
ninistration Of its road affairs.
"One of the patent results Of these
reforms, and one which gives promise
of greater progress in the future, is
the interest and enthusiasm which
has been aroused in the subject of
road Improvement in the south. That
this enthusiasm is of a substantial
character is evidenced by the fact that
more funds have been raised by taxa
ton and bond issues for expenditure
during 1911 than ever before.
'tAt the present date, there is avail
able for expenditure throughout the
sixteen southern states, the sum OF
$40,652, 900. or $50 per mile, which is
practically double the expenditure OF
1904. There will be, however, other
large funds available during the year
as many counties are agitating, and
will, no doubt, vote large bond issues
for road improvement. It is further
shown that the south is keeping pace
with other sections of the country in
the matter of road improvements, by
the fact that practically one third OF
all funds available for expenditure or
roads during 1911 are available in the
sixteen southern states, while in 1904
the other states of the union expended
practically four times as much as was
expended in the south.
Conditions in the south REQUIRE
road Improvement more urgently than
| in any other sections of the country
for the reason that the roads are sub
jected to more continuous heavy
| traffic during the winter months, and
as they are nearly always wet at this
season. they cut up very badly and
become impossible. In order to have
good, hard roads during this period. II
is necessary that they be properly
graded, drained and surfaced. In the
north, conditions are different There
the roads are partially protected with
ice and snow most of the time during
the winter months, which affords a
good, smooth surface over which
traffic may pass.
ITO Offset this advantage, however
the roads Of the south can be i'm
proved more cleaply than those Of the
north. In the south, labor is cheaper
and convict labor can be utilized, and
the bodybuilding season is longer

historical data pertaining to the state
which may be found in the records at
Washington, to make two copies Of the
same and return the same to the
state, one for the Florida Historical
Society and one for the state library,
passed the senate by a vote of % to
2. This is the first step in the direc-
ton Of forming a state library. This
session Of the legislature has placed
itself on record as being the most far
sighted in this respect Of any that
have yet convened IN the history of
the state. Florida has no state library
but under the Fiournoy bill which
was passed and has received the ap-
prevail of the governor, a building is
to be erected which provides for the
state supreme court, the state railroad
commission and a state library. The
bill which passed this morning will
probably receive the approval Of the
governor and may be considered a
companion measure to the other men
toned. 1t passed the house some days
ago.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1911-05-26

Also, a cheaper type of road, in most
cases, can be built in the south, as
sand clay roads can be constructed,
these answering all the ordinary traf-
f1c requirements, and costing only
about one-tenth as much as macadam
or other roads suitable to northern
conditions.
Moreover, the roads Of the south
are not subjected to as severe frosts
and freezes in the spring and fall as
those of the north, and consequently
the injury from this source necessarily
makes the cost of maintenance less.
So, while the. south stands in the
greatest need Of road improvement, it's
conditions are most favorable for
meeting that need"
, ~ Mr.. Page Illustrated how much more
cheaply the south can improve it's
roads, and gave statistics their popu-
fation, while those without good roads
have lost in population. He also
showed how millions of dollars have
been saved by the improvement of
public highways throughout the
south.
"Once the south has a complete sys-
tenn of public roads, he predicted, ut
will become the most prosperous sec
ton of the United States. Good roads
mean more to the south than to any
other part of the country, because II
is here that the cost of moving crops
