THE EMBATTLED GOVERNORS.
Transports ton Problem Has Passed
Beyond state Bounds"
Philadelphia Bulletin.


The declaration Of Governor Aldrich Of
Nebraska that his state would "at any
or all hazards carry forward its inherent
governmental functions" and that It would
respect court opinions only on condition
that the court stay within well-marked
lines, sounds even more revolutionary
than the formal resolution of protest
passed by the conference Of governors.
But neither Nebraska nor the rest OF the
twenty-five protesting states will go TO
war about the matter. Whether or not
consistent with the established theory
of states rights. the transportation prob
lem Of the United States has passed be-
yond the limitations of state boundaries
and has become national Federal Tegula-
ton OF railroads has come through a
natural process, and various other prob
lens are already started on a similar
course. The amalgamation Of q nation
cannot be stopped.

Good Time for Economy,

High prices seem To be assured for some
necessary food products. Potatoes are
a short crop and are sure TO be dear
Sugar is rapidly advancing in price. Meats
are likely to go higher. Coffee is dearer.
There is, however, no apparent danger
that the average cost of living will be
greatly advanced for the coming winter
There is room for greater economy of
household expenditure Short buying is
the always efficient remedy for ex-
tortionate prices.

his end. It is only when they get to-
gether and solve the riddle Of the uni

In this respect, the conference is con-
sistently what it was when it held its

ton OF its then occupant, and al once

Slump in Quotations Explained by Re-

Slump in Quotations Explained by Re-
duction at Terminal Points.
Pullman-The price of hogs is lower
than it has been for more than four
years. Local buyers are paying only
ST cents a pound, live weight, against
u cents four months ago. There has
been a steady slumping prices for
weeks, the drop being at the rate of
a quarter of cent at a time, until the
lowest rate in years has been reached.
1t has been more than four years since
hogs sold as low as they are now sell
ling.
Dealers have no excuse to offer for
the slump, other than the price has
dropped at terminal points. There
are few hogs in the country, compared
with the demand. The West does not
supply 20 per cent of the hogs needed
for home consumption and trainloads
of hogs are shipped from Kansas, Ne
braska and Iowa to Portland, Seattle
and Tacoma. j. A. Crosbey & Co., of
Pullman, recently shipped five carloads
from Pullman to Tacoma, but these
were contracted before the price drop
ped. The market quotations for hogs
at the close of the week were: Sc :35
to 6.65 at Portland, and $6.05 to Sc. 60
at Chicago.

North Yakima-A prediction that
within two years the, Yakima Valley
Fruit Growers association will be the
grestest business enterprise in the
Yakima valley, made by General Man
ager ]. R. Robbins, of the associa-
tion, was backed up by his annual re-
port. which shows that with all re-
turns with the exception of those on
five cars, now in the hands of the
growers, the association has cash
balance in the bank sufficient to JUS
tify the methods used by the sales de-
partment.
Education and organization of the
fruitgrowers who are already in the
valley, rather than exploitation only
of its resources. will be the future
policy of the Yakima Valley Fruit
growers association, according to a
statement made by General Manager
j. E. Robbins, and Secretary w. P.
Romans, who declared themselves in
favor of the immediate establishment
of an experimental farm in this vicin-
ity and of the turning of attention
toward education of the growers. The
policy is in line with that recently
outlined at meeting of the Yakima
commercial club.

NAVY RUN WITH ECONOMY.

Establishment 20 Per Cent Larger
But Cost Of Upkeep Less.
Washington, D. C.-With an appro-
priation reduced by 100000 the gov
eminent, the past two years, has been
maintaining a navy larger by 20 per
cent than it was during the proceeding
two years.
This was made possible by econo-
mics resulting from improvement in
business methods, said Secretary
Meyer in statement made public re-
Gently.
A reduction of 10 cents pound in
the cost of powder is reported by the
ordnance bureau, 100000 pounds
having been made during the past
year at a cost of 1876 cents a pound.
Purchasing hemp at Manila resulted
in a saving of $40 ton, an annual
saving of approximately $50, 600; by
docking vessels at navy yards the de-
partment saved $4,000 during the
past fiscal year, a reduction of 20 per
cent; and the use of substitutes for
linseed oil netted a saving of about
$40, 900.
BY manufacturing certain classes of
goods at the navy yards in which they
can be purchased cheapest large saw
ings have resulted. Particularly is
this true of standard mess tables, the
cost of which has been reduced from
$50 to $11.94 at one navy yard.

WILL MAKE DAILY DEPOSITS.
King County Officials to Comply
With Terms Of New Law.


With Terms Of New Law.
Olympia Attorney General w. V.
Tanner, has received a letter from
Treasurer William Hanna and other
officials of King county announcing
the intention of those officials to COM
ply strictly with the new law requir-
ing all public officials to daily make
deposits of all public funds collected.
The letter further asked the assistance
of the attorney general in aiding the
officials to comply with all the laws
governing their duties.
The daily deposit law is criticized
on the assertion that it will add ex-
pense to the county treasurer's Office.
On the other hand, it is asserted, had
such law been enforced, Clerk
House, of the justice court at Seattle,
could not have created the shortage
which caused his arrest.
The county and state officials, how
ever, are agreed that whether or not
the law is economical in it's operations
it is their duty to obey it.
