DAILY LOCAL
MARKET REPORT
POTATOES AND CABBAGE TAKE
A RISE IN THE VEGETABLE
MARKET.
BANANAS GOING UP VERY SOON

Potatoes. as predicted In The Her.
aid OF yesterday, took rise In price
this morning. They are quoted now
at 81 per bag. The market Is about
the same as usual on this line. Cab
bage have also taken slight turn
for higher prices, being quoted ten
cents higher per hundred pounds.
Information comes from Mobile
that in very short time the price of
bananas will take turn higher. The
scarcity Of the fruit in the tropicl
regions, and on the islands in the
Caribbean sea where they are grown,
are held responsible for the coming
rise in price.

ence that packed the Supreme Court
room in the state house. Senator

Of Abraham Lincoln. He followed by
stating that the question of the initia-
tive and referendum Is a fight be.
tween organized greed and the PEG.
! pie.
"The time has come in this coun.

said, and continued by relating the
experiences which preceded the adop.
ton of the initiative and referendum
in the State of Oregon.

Taking up the work of the initia.

tees act in Oklahoma and Oregon,
Senator Owen said that poor men had

it had resulted in much material ben.
eft to both of these states in bring.
ing good capital that wanted fair

Taking up recent adoptions Of the

Owen cited the cases of Michigan. Ne
