Last week, we took occasion to re-
mark that certain prominent Flor
ida dealer outside the Exchange had
lost since last year some of the most
desirable accounts in Florida, and we
stated that the reasons were unknown
to us. We also stated that we had
seen fruit OF some of these brands
sell in New York for from fifty cents
to dollar less than they were worth,
and from fifty cents to a dollar less
than the Exchange could have sold
them for per box. Growers may won
der why the Exchange feels that it
can get more money for fruit of a
given grade at an auction point than
any outside interest can get for fruit
of the same grade at the same auc'
ton and on the same sac.
The answer to this is that the Flor
ida Citrus Exchange when 1t was first
established went into the business
with the firm determination to give
everybody with whom it dealt, either
as shipper or as a purchaser an
absolutely Square deal" 1t took the
receivers in the big auction markets
a year to find out that in the first
place the Exchange meant exactly
what it said when it promised them
that all Exchange samples at auction
should be perfectly free, fair samples
Of the fruit to be sold, and that none
of the samples of fruit handled by
the Exchange would be "deaconed"
or "jerryed" or fixed" They finally
change continued doing business in
the auctions on that basis, the more
confidence the buying trade had than
when It bought Exchange fruit, it
felt that they could afford to pay
more money for fruit when they were
absolutely sure that rest of the car
was equal to the sample. They there
fore, have paid, are paying, and will
pay, a considerably higher price per
box for fruit bearing the Exchange
brand, when handled through the EX-
change agent, than they will pay for
fruit handled by other receivers of
similar grade.
Few people have any idea how
much sample fixing is done on the
auctions. The Importance of this,
and the results of it, are shown in
the following extract from letter
written November "a from the dis
trict manager of one of our biggest
auctions: For your further infOrma-
ton - competitors selling through
.............. have at last caused so
much complaint among the buyers
that ................ have APPARENTLY
taken the matter in hand as regards
the fixing" or samples, and have
announced that hereafter, positively
no samples will be handled except
by their own man, and that every.
thing will be displayed just as 1t ar.

DOING GOOD WORK.

Miami, Fla.-To The Florida Grow
er: feel that the Florida Citrus Ex-
change and the Florida Grower are
doing a great deal of good for the
fruit industry of the state, and should
be supported by every loyal Floridian
and especially by the growers. Wish
ing you all success, G. E. w.
Note.-We appreciate the senti-
ments expressed above by one who
is on the ground and knows the con-
ditions. We are firmly convinced
that in time that all will see the
wisdom of what we are contending
for, and instead of opposing, that they
will be with us. That their interest
and our interest are one and the
same - namely, the upbuilding Of
Florida's industries and a livelihood
for those who literally earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow.

ECHO ANSWERS WHY.

White Plains, n. ito The Flor
ida Grower: I have read in your pa
per about people sending green fruit
to the Northern markets. Several
weeks ago | went in one of the fruit
stores here and inquired about Or
anges. They had some tine-looking
California oranges. l asked if it were
too early for Florida oranges, and
the man said: NO; l have Florida
oranges: but they are green and
sour. They are juicy, but sour" He
did not offer to sell me any, and |
saw nothing of them among his fine
display of fruit. I suppose he had
put them away somewhere in hopes
they would ripen. Now, why will peo-
pie persist in running their own bust
ness by sending such stuff to the
Northern markets? B. H. e.

have been very much interested
in your fight over the green fruit law
and from a Northerner's point OF view
will say that the only thing that will
ever give Florida the prestige that
she deserves in the Northern markets
is to keep her green fruit at home
until it is ripe.
Until last winter I never knew that
Florida oranges were good to eat. Usu-
ally would buy a few Of the first in
the market. and be so disguised with
them that | would wait for California
fruit. Having spent a part of last WIN
for in Florida I learned that the trou-

change is putting up a good tight.
One boy of unripe fruit at a store

in Florida lose sight of the fact that
California oranges are good and that
rho California grower is making such
n strong bid for the Northern market
that the Florida orange is unknown
in many sections after the Califor-
min fruit comes in. This is almost
entirely due to the bad impression
made by the first shipments from
/ Florida.
/ The Florida orange is good, sweet

has cot TO do to create a market for
his fruit is to see that no fruit leaves

The following extracts from two
letters received from one of our dis.
trict managers in one of the most i'm,
portant Eastern auction points are
interesting:
This from letter written on No
vember 90; "In view of the auction
prices today, it does not look so good,
but there was one significant fact
about the auction sale-not a single
jobber in the city bought box, it
going entirely to the retail trade
This fact clearly shows that we are
above what similar goods can be
bought for in the open market here"
Note that this manager, with an
experience of many years in the fruit
trade, feared that the market would
be weaker the following day, but he
wrote on the following, to-wit: No.
vember "a, as follows: "The market
today developed a most unusual and
most unexpected ffrmness. The trade
went over prepared to pay around
$2.75. Had a feeling that Russets
might sell around $3.50, Goldens $2.75
and Brigbts little more, unless they
were unusually well colored. Every.
one seemed to be struck dumb by the
demand that developed. / do not dare
think these prices can continue Mon,
day.
The fact of the matter was that
the prices ruling on the oath were
from fifty to seyenty-fve cents box
higher than our manager had antic.
ipated; and the Monday market that
he was so afraid of was considerably

WANTS SHERMAN
 LAW MADE STRONG
OLDFiELD WOULD CURE THE DE- FECTS IN THE ANTITRUST
 LAW,
Proposed Bill Would Make All Re straint of Trade Un-
 reasonable.

Washington. - Representative Old which seeks to cure the defects in the Sherman antitrust law caused by the majority opinion of the supreme court, recently decided in the Standard Oil and American Tobacco Company anti trust cases. MT. Oldfield believes that the dissenting opinion of Justice liar Ian is the sound view of this matter
 The first section of MT. OldfleldS $ bill provides that every contract Ill restraint of trade or commerce shall be adjudged by the court to be un- reasonable. The last section of the bill provides that every person who shall make any such contract or en- gage in any combination in restraint of trade or commerce shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and sen tenced to a term of Imprisonment for a period of not less than one nor more than ten years.
 MT. Oldfield states that it is diffl- cult enough now to prove that a cor poration is a trust or part of trust or monopoly, and if congress does not remedy this statute in the future the attorneys for the government will not only have to prove that a party IS part of trust or monoply but they will have to go further and prove that such combination unreasonably inter- feres with trade or commerce.
 Just few days ago Attorney J. F. Parsons of New York made the state ment before the sugar trust investlga- ton committee that he organized the sugar trust and that the recent de- cision of the supreme court nullifies the criminal clause of the sherman law MT. O1dfield's bill, if enacted into law, will reinstate the criminal clause of the Sherman antitrust law.

OWEN CRlTICTSES
 FEDERAL JUDGES
ADVOCATES APPLICATION OF RE. CALL TO MEMBERS OF THE
 SUPREME COURT.
Says Fourteenth Amendment, Instead of Protecting the Negroes,
 Protects Trusts.

Mashington.-Se criticism of the supreme court of the United States marked the speech of Senator Owen of Oklahoma, who advocated before the senate the adoption of his bill providing for the election and re- call of federal judges. This bill pro- yides that any judge of any other United States court shall be subject to recall by a resolution of congress; that all district and circuit judges of the United States shall be elected by the voters of the district or circuit, and that their tenure of office be four years.
 Griticising the courts. the speaker said that the Fourteenth amendment, intending to protect the negro, has been twisted from it's purpose to pro tect the trust and monopolies in im- posing long hours of labor upon em- ployes on the absurd theory that to deny the employe the right to work long hours is a denial of his const- tutional privileges.
 The speaker dwelt upon the decla- ration of the supreme court of the United States that the income tax law of some 16 years ago was uncon- stitutional The decision in this case" said the senator, "by the change Of the vote of one judge, of one lawyer in this court, appointed at whose instance we do not know, that cost the poorer people of the United States a hundred million a year for over 16 years, $1,600, ,000,00 in all, and relieved those best able to bear the tax of a like amount.
