GOOD MARKET NOW
FOR YOUNG HOPS
Report Is That the Price, Because
of the Increased Demand Has
Risen to High Figure

Hop roots it is reported, are worth
SIS per thousand. This is about three
times the price at which they have US
ually sold. Reports in circulation in
North Yakima are to the effect that
buyers have been in this field looking
for roots to be planted in Oregon in
some of the large yards which are to
be planted there this year. During
the past few years the yards have
been gradually contracting and now
that there is demand coming sud-
denly for plants for a greatly increas-
ed acreage the market for roots is ad-
vancing In response. According to the
story told among the Yakima valley
hop men the roots, 100000 in num-
Der, of the old Snoqualmie yards were
sold for Sc per thousand, were resold
for IS per thousand and then again
sold for SIS. Buyers, it has been re-
ported, have been in this field to as
certain what is availa BILE here and are
offering excellent prices for the oppor-
tunity to obtain the stock.

FOLLY OF HAsrY RECALL ACTION

News that recall petitions are be-
ing circulated against the city COM
missioners will come as a surprise TO
the greater portion OF the citizens of
North Yakima who from time to time
have expressed themselves as being
pleased with the way the new COM
missioners have been conducting the
affairs of the city. 1t is hardly sup
possible that the petitions will receive
the signatures required to put them
into effect and force recall election.
The folly of frequent recall electors
has been fully demonstrated in Ia
coma and Seattle, where the privil-
eyes has been fiagrantly abused and
where public sentiment is strongly
aroused against the practice. There
is no questioning the fact that the
present board of commissioners have
been acting to the best of their judg-
ment with loyalty of purpose for the
best interests of the whole body OF
citizens. To attempt to recall them
or to question their purpose at this
time is a folly which the sober mind
ed citizens of North Yakima are not
likely to perpetrate.

A BANK TO HELP Ho,tEowNERs

There is new movement on the
part Of the banking institutions of the
country for the encouragement of the
man who wants a farm or piece of
land OF his own. 1t is a part
OF the general movement to lure
men back to the soil. not for selfish
reasons alone, but for the general
good Of the country. In a recent dis
cussion of this movement in a paper
read before one of the Brotherhood
clubs in this city, il was stated that
the bankers in twelve states in the
Union had perfected organizations on
agricultural development and educa-
ton" planning with a purpose to use
their influence and their capital to
encourage agricultural development.
In this connection there is the
problem of encouragement of home
ownership which has been worked out
In some of the foreign countries on &
basis that is we'll worth the study of
our people who are planning things
for the social. uplift. In a recent
number of the American Review OF
Reviews there appears on article by
Frank Bailey which puts in contrast
the French and American systems al
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1912-01-31

encouragement of homeowners. Mr.
Bailey gives quite detailed statement
of the operation of the Credit Fon-
cier.'' or the homeowners' bank, es-
tablished by the act of the national as
sembly more than fifty years ago
This bank is the only institution OF
its kind in the world, and although
conducted after the manner of a
private enterprise, it is strictly speak
ing. a government affair and its chief
purpose is to increase the number OF
home owners. Its aid is chiefly to the
little fellow, the man who by lack OF
ability or opportunity is the least like
ly to acquire property by his indie
pendent action. The fundamental
principle in the operation of this bank
percentage of the mortgage value it
carries; the long time of the mort
gage contract and the liberality OF
the terms which provide for contin.
gencies of misfortune on the part of
the mortgage.
The principle is to keep the mort
gage contract alive at maximum
charge of six per cent, two per cent
of which is applied on the mortgage
note. There are special provisions
dealing with the contingencies of ac-
cident, of sickness and of short crops
Every possible business safeguard
that the strength of the nation can
throw around the weakness of the
man who makes an honest effort to
own his home is provided. The net
result, in the fifty years of operation,
as Mr.. Bailey points out, is the loan
of more than $1,000 100000, of which
450,000,000 is still outstanding.
The encouragement of homecoming
in this country must soon take on
some such system as this. The mat
ter is brewing now in the organiza-
tons that are seeking to promote ag-
ricultural development by making
some concessions to the man who is
willing to- go onto the land and ex.
plot its resources. The census reports
show from decade to decade the de-
crease of home-ownership in the ma
ton and the critics of our financial
and industrial systems point to this as
a weakness which proves the country
Is deteriorating. To counteract this il
will be necessary to devise some plan
to encourage homeownership, and
the French Credit Foncier' system
Is something that appeals, to those
who are seeking plans that are safe
and sane to promote the social well
fare.

Longer Bird Protection

Arson S@s White of the Cowichs,
who was In North Yakima Saturday,
reported the ice in this part of the
valley to be heavier and thicker than
that in the Cowiche. While in the
city Mr.. White called in County Aud
itor Newcomb and expressed himself
as being in favor of longer closed
season for the pheasants and other
planted birds in this county Mr.
White does not think the birds are
as numerous as many people say the
lack of cover making it appear that
they are numerous. There are hardly
more than enough for seed if given
another year or two to establish
themselves Therefore he favors an
extended close season.

The good roads movement which
has received so much impetus from
the demands of the automobilists of
the country who have co-operated to
bring the matter before congress has
taken a turns which will test the 10y
atty of the motorists. A bill has been
introduced in congress which will
place automobiles under federal con-
troll and make them subject to a spec
ial federal tax. an annual registration
fee of $40 each on machines used in
interstate travel. The money thus coll
lected is to constitute a government
fund for road improvement. 1t is
not thought that the bill win meet
with any objection on the part of the
owners of motor cars and especially
not if it is supplemented, as it should
be by an equal amount from the gov
eminent treasury the whole to con-
stitute a perpetual fund for the con-
struction and maintenance of good
roads in the country.

Cattle breeding for profit calls for
the efficient herdsman and it is re-
corded in Oklahoma and the south
east generally that a large per cent
of the herdsmen in charge of Ameri-
can herds are foreigners. They hail
largely from England, Scotland, Ire
land and the Netherlands and part OF
the training that makes them valua Bile
is the fact that they by early training
have been accustomed to the neces-
sity of making the best possible use
of every ounce of feed assigned to the
upkeep of the animals. 1t is the
common problem of economic eff
cheney that is found here as it Is
everywhere in the industrial life OF
the country. There is no use for q
man trying TO escape it, he must face
it in one field or another and had as
well begin at home and in the work
in hand and study the problem from
his nearest point OF view.

RAILROADS STOPPING THE
LEAKS

A few months since an attorney
| who represented the shippers in their
case in court where they waged war
against the advance in freight rates
startled the country and raised the
indignation of the railroad corpor-
atoms by stating that what the rail-
roads really needed was organization,
and ventured the opinion that such
an organization would effect saving
of a million dollars a day to the rail-
road corporations OF the country.
His statement was ridiculed, but
the idea struck like bur, not only in
the minds of the people, but in the
consciousness to the railroad Off
Gals themselves. There has been In
the meantime some work done in the
lines that Brandeis suggested, first in
a way OF investigating IL there might
be a large grain of truth in the bold
assertion and later in correcting some
Of the abuses that such an investiga-
ton disclosed.
In view of this. a recent report OF
auditing experts on the business
methods OF a western railroad with
headquarters in Portland, is full of
interest. This investigation followe
a serious leakage that traced to the
peculation of one man and made
possible by the lack of efficiency of
the system It was learned that the
auditing and accounting system en-
ployed at the local headquarters of
the company was So loose that, fig
| uratively speaking. one could drive
team of horses through it without
being discovered. In one particular
instance it was developed that main
checking system honored vouchers
for supplies for a single month
which aggregated more than would
be used on the entire system in five
years. and the money involved runs
into big figures.
The result of the investigation
comes as a thunder-clap out of a clear
sky and the shake-up which is GER
tain to follow will be one that will be
remembered for some time in the his
tory of the affairs OF this one corpor-
alton and will have the further effect
of stirring up Investigations in the
management OF other large corpor-
ations. 1t justifes in a large meas
ure the statement made by Attorney
Brandeis that the railroads will be
able to save millions when they have
reorganized for efficiency.
The ordering and accounting sys-
tenn is only small part of the great
mass of work necessary for the oper-
alton of a great railway system and
the one more than any other which it
would seem was the most efficiently
| organized. To find such leaks in
this system pressages the assertion
that in other departments of the sys-
tenn there will be found instances
where there are greater leaks, and
greater losses

PARIS, Jan. 21.-Spain is begin
ming to be seriously troubled by the
continued exodus of Spaniards to the
Western hemisphere, particularly to
South America.
By thousands Spanish emigrants
are embracing on steamers from the
various ports of Galicia, the greater
number bound for Chilli, Brazil and the
Argentine Republic. In some cases
whole villages are leaving for the new
world. 1t is estimated that in recent
rtnight as many as 5000 Spaniards
-,-4barked for Buenos Ayres. The gov
eminent, greatly concerned, has APP
pointed committees to study the causes
of this loss of it's population. which
is estimated as reaching 100000
yearly.
The committees of investigation
have already decided that good
means of diverting the emigration
would be the cultivation of the vast
territories of internal Spain. Re
newed efforts will be made to induce
the Spaniards with ambitions to emf
CRATE, to remain in their own country
and turn their attention to agriculture.
The stone walls of Paris which
mark the legal limits of the capital
will disappear and the fortification
territory will be transformed into a
garden city according to a plan that
is soon to be brought before the mu-
nicipal council of Paris in connection
with the purchase of the Notifications
by the municipality from the state.
Already it is decided in principe that
the old military zone formed by the
historic breastworks will be made in
to a broad belt of verdure, casional-
~ widening into pleasant parks and
