AGREE
UPON FRUIT LAWS
100000 to be Appropriated for
This Year and Tax Levy
Provides of Future

M. N. Richards, who was the dele
gate of the state Horticultural asso-
citation to the state capital to protect
the interests of the horticulturists In
legislation to be offered at the pres
ent session of the legislature returned
to North Yakima Saturday.
Sixty thousand dollars. according
to Mr.. Richards, have been agreed
upon as the appropriation for the
year 1911, the horticultural interests
thereafter to be taken care of by q
levy provision for which has been
made. The sentiment was that the
estimated cost of running the offices
necessary in connection with the
fruit law and industries should be
made by the state commissioner to
the state board of equalization, in
stead of to the county commissioners
who will, under the law, make the
necessary assessment on each county
but never to exceed one tenth of a
mill The taxes are to be collected
by the CT mites, forwarded to the
state treasurer and by him paid out
according to the needs of the horti-
cultural commissioner.

SENATOR JONES ARRA|GNS
THE LEGISLATIVE JACKPOT

they came to the fountain head there
was a complete understanding as to
the cause of procedure without any,
thing being said All they had to do
was to do as they were asked and
then reward would come in due
time"
Existence of Pot Known
Surm sing that the fund" had
had been contributed from various
undetermined sources, Mr.. jones'
said that its existence had been gen.
orally known and relied upon for GER
tain lines of service in the legisla-
ture. Coming then to the use of this
money and possibly of additional
funds in the senatorial contest, the
Wash ngton senator brought Mr.
Hopkins into the controversy, saying;
There was bitter and determined OPP
position to Senator Hopkins. There
was strong opposition to him in the
republican ranks and it also appears
that among the democrats there was
a very intense hostility to him espec-
ill.,. and that opposition had some
thing behind it besides the personal
opposition of the members of the leg
islature and If there were interests
outside the legislature that habitu-
ally contributed to the jackpot fund
to control legislation it takes no
stretch of the Imagination to believe
that there were outside interests
that would be perfectly willing to
contribute to the JACKPOT fund for the
purpose of defeating Mr.. Hopkins.
Money was used to defeat him and
this money was put in the hands Of
the same person who handled the
jackpot fund, If it was not put into
the fund Itself. The money was not
money to elect Lorimer; it was given
to defeat Hopkins. 1t could be used
to elect anyone they could elect, so
it was not Hopkins. This Is the
reason why Browne was so insistent
that his men should not vote for
Lorimer until he was sure that there
was enough votes to put it over"
Should Not Retain Seat.
But Notwithstanding his exonera-
tons of Mr.. Lorimer from participa-
ton in the alleged frauds, Mr.. Jones
still found ground to oppose his re-
tention of his seat because some Of
the votes cast for him had been pro-
cured by corrupt methods. He argued
thai in reality all of the 80 demo-
cratic votes Influenced by Lee O'Neill
Browne had been tainted but conten-
tended that even if such were not the
case, Lorimer still had failed to OBJ
tain a majority of the unchallenged
votes cast in the senatorial election.
Finding the bride givers to be as
much at fault as the bride takers,
he said there was no doubt that seven
fraudulent votes had been cast for
Lorimer.
Deducting the seven votes from
the Lorimer column, but not from
the total vote, he found Lorimer to
have been one short of majority.

In Speech to Senate Declares That
Persistent Use of Money in ILL
nois Was Sufficient to Cover
Lorimer With faint and That
He Should Abandon His Seat

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feo. 6-The
Illinois legislative Jack pot" which
has received frequent mention in con-
nection with the discussion in the SEN
ate on the actions of bribery attend
ing the election of Senator Lorimer,
was charged in that body today with
respons bility for any corruption that
may have occurred in connection
wit. that event.
The speaker was Senator Wesley L.
Jones, of Washington, who, testifying
to his high personal regard for the
Illinois senator, still took position
against him on the ground that the
Jack pot" fund had been used to
purchase votes for him. Mr.. Jones
contended that the animating pur-
pose behind the use of the Jackpot
in the senatorial election had been
the defeat for reelection of the then
Senator A. J. Hopkins, rather than
the elevation of Lorimer to the sena-
torial office.
Tainted by Use Of Money
Discussing the Jackpot" which,
since Senator Roots speech. and
Senator Hale's consequent denuncia-
ton, has come to possess exceptional
interest in the senate, Mr.. Jones said:
"The committee finds that there
was Jackpot fund used for or
against legislation. 1t had been in
existence for many years. 1t had be-
come well-known appurtenance of
tn Illinois legislature"
This, the senator thought, threw
much light upon the testimony Of the
witnesses in the case who confessed
that they were paid money after the
election but that no promise had been
made to them before that they were
to receive any money and also that
when they did receive the money they
asked no questions. The senator said:
at was not necessary to promise
money, it was not necessary to ask
why the money was paid. This was
a part of the systeIh.
80 under this system it is doubt
less true that if a member was indict-
ed for bribery in connection with
legislation he could say he had not
been promised a dollar to support
such legislation and that he had not
received any money in consideration
for his vote there and that nothing
had been said to him in regard to 1t.
Under such condition what would ma
turally happen? The men who were
looking for money for any act OF
their legislative duties would flock
around that jackpot fund and
and around those handling it like
vultures around a dead carcass. When
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1911-02-08

those who employed young boys Of
school age, do much to cause the
conditions that the testimony before
Court Commissioner Cresap showed
the existence Of. 1t gave the boy an
incentive to leave school and II he
did not have steady employment,
which most of the boys in question
did not have, they drifted into evil
ways. Mr.. Busch believed that such
employers should be punished for hir-
ing boys under the legal age. He
thought an efficient truant officer
would be a great help in enforcing the
law and in keeping the boys in school.
1t was the opinion Of those present
that a stringent curfew law was much
needed to keep the boys off the streets
after certain hour at night and
from the cheap theatres and pool
rooms; but cooperation between the
parents and the officials was absolute
ly necessary to make the law sue
cess.
1t was remarked that the boys were
not the only ones who needed looking
after. One who knew told of the case
of young girl in this city who re-
Gently became a mother. She gave
the names of a number of young men,
some of them of the best families in
town, who on being confronted with
the facts admitted each one that he
might be the father Of her child.
Until parents assume more au-
thority over and take better care Of
their children this condition will con-
tinue," said the person who told Of
the foregoing incident. 1.-THE people
of North Yakima do not half realize
the conditions that confront their
young people here, for if they did
believe they would be up in arms. It
needs loving care on the part of the
parents to properly safeguard the
young people in their families, and
until they give more time and atten-
ton to the matter the terrible condi-
ton that exists here will continue. The
work must begin in the home"

either Seattle or Tacoma. Mr.. Rich
ards says the members Of the COM
mittee were given every assurance
before they left Olympia that their
recommendations would be enacted
into law.
1t has been ascertained that the
apple and pear boxes used here are
standard and according to state leg
islation of 1908. This Is q bit of
information which even those en-
trusted with the enforcement of the
state fruit laws appear to have
overlooked. An effort is now being
made by the state horticultural asso-
citation to have this box adopted by
the other fruit growing states of the
northwest. Representatives of the
people at Washington are also being
urged to make the Washington stand
ard the standard for the country.

Memorial Service
The union Is to have a Frances viii.
lard memorial service in the Evange-
lical church, Sunday evening, Feb. 10,
1t has also arranged for a silver medal
contest among pupils of the high
school, The boys and girls learn tenn
perance pieces and recite before a
committee, the medal going to the
one doing the best work in oratory.
The joint unions Of the city asked
some time ago Of the city council for
the appointment Of a matron at the
police station, also for the enforce
ment of the curfew law. They say
that it is not decent for the women
prisoners, to have to be waited upon
entirely by men. Now that the CITY
is going to build new city hall, they
think that suitable quarters should be
provided for women prisoners and for
a police matron to look after them,
to see that they are not subjected to
indiginities and receive proper care
and attention.
At meeting of the joint unions to
be held Monday, Feb. 10, action will
be taken to find out what the council
has done with the recommendation for
police matron, what it intends to
do, and why not, or how soon.
