Organize Western Teachers Association

Representatives of educational in.
stitutions in the intermountain and
Pacific states will organize the West
ern Teachers association in Spokane
next year, the tentative plan being tc
have the first meeting at San Francisco
in 1915, probably week or ten days
of the summer vacation period, to al
ford an opportunity to delegates to at
tend the Panama-Pacifc exposition and
the sessions at the same time. Ar
thur H. Chamberlain of San Francisco,
is the originator of the movement.
The plan met with the approval o.
1000 teachers from Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana, assembled al
the annual meeting Of the Inland EN-
pire Teachers association in Spokane,
April 3 to 6. Though no official &C
ton was taken by the organization it
was practically agreed that the teach.
ers will support the movement and in
vite their colleagues in neighborine
states to join with them.
Such a western association will moi
only advance the interests OF the sew
eral associations on the Coast" said
Mr.. Chamberlain, but will also ad'
vance the interests of the Nationa
Teachers associations, thus bringing
together once or twice year the
education leaders Of the western coun
try for the discussion Of problems o.
common interest"
These officers were elected by the
Inland Empire Teachers association
for 1912: President, Bruce M. Wat
son, Spokane; first vice presidents, M
T. Harmon, Montana; L. R. Alder
man, Oregon; Karl S. Wooster, Idaho
treasurer, ]. v. Buchanan, Cheney

Buy at Home Day Observed in Spokane


Recognizing that industrial and COM
mercial successes depend largely upon
the development of the natural re-
sources of the Inland Empire, the
Buying-at-Home League of Spokane,
headed by R. c. Dillingham;, will in
vite manufacturers throughout the
district to participate with exhibits Of
their wares in the annual home in
dustry exhibition, beginning April %
and continuing a week. Space will be
assigned to manufacturers and produc-
ers in and out of the city without cost.
Mayor William ]. Hindley has issued
proclamation, setting aside May as
''buying-at-home day." when resi-
dents of the city are expected to buy
one or more articles manufactured in
the Inland Empire; also send an arti-
Gle OF manufacture or product and
postcard, photograph or pamphlet de
scriptiye of the district to a non-resi-
dent relative or acquaintance.
George A. Raymer, secretary of the
league, announced to-day that mer-
chants in the principal thoroughfares
of Spokane have offered the use Of
their store windows for exhibits without
charge and it is expected every bust
ness house in the business district will
join in the plan. The stores also will
make individual displays. -Four mass
i've silver loving cups will be awarded
as prizes for the best general and in
dividual displays. The committee Of
judges is composed Of the following:
R. Insinger, president of the Spokane
chamber OF commerce; R. c. Dilling-
ham, president Of the Buying-at-Home
League; R. E. Bigelow, president Of
Spokane Ad Club; Robert H. Cosgrove,
secretary and manager of the Inter
state Fair, and Alex Green, advertis-
ing manager of the Spokane Dry
Goods Company and Crescent store.
Several large stores have been en-
gagged for demonstration purposes.
These are to be used in connecs
ton with exhibits Of methods en-
ployed in manufacturing home prod
ucts. Another feature that should be
of benefit to every community in the
Inland Empire is the bill of fare for
May /, when housekeepers Of Spokane
will be requested to use homemade
articles exclusively.
Our plans are broad" said Ray
mer, and in carrying them out we
shall show the products Of the entire
Inland Empire, taking in Eastern
Washington and Oregon, North and
Central Idaho, Western Montana and
Southeastern British Columbia, thus
emphasizing the numerous resources Of
the district, at the same time drawing
attention to its possibilities in manu-
featuring"

Through the river and the sky,

Neck and breast as virgins pure
Virgin proudly blushing.

Orchard Culture

There should be three essential
practices in every orchard in the Pa
cific Northwest. These practices are
pruning, spraying and orchard tillage.
Pruning is necessary to expose the
fruit buds to the air and sunshine, to
help color the fruit, to remove dead
and diseased branches and to make
spraying and picking easier. 1t can
be done either in late summer when
the tree is still in leaf or in early
spring before the buds open. Sum-
mer pruning tends to form fruit buds,
while severe pruning when the tree is
dormant has a tendency to form
heavy wood growth. The fact, how
ever, should not stand in the way OF
dormant pruning if the limb or branch
needs to be removed. All cuts should
be close to the main trunk or larger
branches so that no stubs are left.
Paint all wounds.
Pruning is an aid to spraying. One
successful orchardist once said to the
writer: my pruning will pay for my
spraying, and vice versa" A we'll
pruned tree requires only about hall
the spray, material that is needed in a
tree filed with heavy wood growth, it
takes less time to apply the spray. and
the job will be more thorough. Thor
ough spraying is the only kind we
need consider; every branch, every
leaf and every fruit should be COW
cred. 1t is hard to do but it is poss-
IDLE. The stronger the pressure the
easier it is to spray thoroughly.
The sprays probably in most COM
mon uses at present are the lime-sul-
phur solution for fungus diseases and
some insects, arsenical sprays for in
sects which chew and swallow their
food, and contract sprays, such as
kersene emulsion and the tobacco
sprays, for insects which suck the
juices from the leaves. There is nc
other spray that has ever proven a
satisfactory sure cure" for all insec,
and plant diseases.
Tillage is a great aid in the control
OF diseases and insects. Many dis
eased fruits and leaves fall to the
ground during the summer. and the
following spring spores from these
hosts are carried to the new leaves and
fruits by the wind, birds and insects.
Summer cultivation covers the fallen
fruits and leaves and the disease
spores cannot be liberated. Some oil
the insects of fruit trees pass part ol
their life history near the surface oil
the soil where they will be destroyed
by exposure or picked up by birds.
Cultivation in the summer is also a
great aid in conserving the soil mois-
ture.

IDEAS ARE OF
SLOW GROWTH

Some one sends us quotation
from Woodrow Wilson in which he
said:
For twenty years l preached to
the students OF Princeton that the
Referendum and Recall We're bosh.
! have since investigated, and |
want to apologize to those stu
dents. They are safe guards of
politics. They take the power from
the bosses and place it in the
hands of the people. want to say,
with all my power, that I favor
them.n
Mr.. Wilson is not the only man,
who twenty years ago, was salts
lied with a representative form
of government without any checks
or safe guards. The people then
little realized how fast the country
was drifting into the hands of
machines.
With but few exceptions our
scholars and statesmen scorned the
Popul.st platform when it demand
ed twenty years ago what has at
last become popular idea. Even
the great Roosevelt ridiculed the
idea until it became popular.
Representative government is
all right in theory, but when it
becomes so perverted as to become
representative of big business there
should be some method adopted
whereby "a government of the
people, by the people, and for the
people, shall not perish from the
earth.n
Wilson was political economist
while Roosevelt was a politician,
and yet Gov. Wilson discovered
the need of proper safe guards in
matters of legislation long before
the politician saw the need of it.

TAXATION

Under consideration at Albany,
where the laws are made for the
State of New York, there is bill
interesting to every state and city
and citizen in the country.
This bill known as the Sullivan
Brooks bill, would, by a gradual
change accomplished in five years.
time, make the taxes on land Just
double the amount of the taxes ON
buildings-in proportion to the
value of each.
That is to say, if a man owned a
piece of land worth 100000 and was
taxed $4,000 year, and if he built
on the land a house costing 800 ODO,
he would be taxed on that house
only S1,OOO-half the amount of the
taxation upon his land.
This bill is at first glance-and it
may finally prove to be-excellent
and desirable. 1t is violently op-
posed by certain individuals-not-
ably by land spectators.
1t is strongly indorsed by others
NOTABLY building companies, that
want plenty of construction work,
and labor unions that very natur-
ally and properly want to see en-
ployment plentiful.
Many things can be said in favor
of this BILL and these things should
lie considered by cities outside OF
New York, by legislators and Iy
the citizens if the matter comes up
| before them-as it should-in the
shape of referendum vote.
The bill first of all would dis
courage speculation in vacant lots
II would interfere with the unde-
served and mearned profit of the
man who buys land, leaves it idle
and unoccupied, or inadequately
improved, and then waits for in
creased population and the in
creased demand to give him for
tune in the shape of increased
value.-Chicago American.
