GROWERS WANT DISHONEST CON-
MISSION DEALERS SUP
PRESSED
WILL ASK STATE REGULATION
MEETINGS TO BE HELD IN ALL
THE TOWNS IN THE
COUNTY

Senator George Stephan of Delta,
and Representative c. C. Hawkins OF
Paonia are arranging for meetings
to be held with fruit growers to dis
cuss bringing about some system TO
suppress. irresponsible and dishonest
commission dealers.
One meeting has been already
planned for the lower surface creek
to be held at an early date, and meet
ings in other sections of this county
viii also be held.
Under the stress of this seasons
conditions it is pretty sure that the
movement will grow rapidly as soon
as properly under way.
With the stagnated early markets
confronting growers. il is said that
many thousands of dollars worth of
fruit have been consigned to dealers
who could not obtain credit for five
dollars at their grocery stores.
Naturally, in such cases, the grow
er would seem to be and is, the one
most needing protection.
In view of this and in order to pro-
tect everybody alike, legislative ac-
ton will no doubt be sought after
plans have been discussed.
This will probably take the form of
some law for the state TO issue Ii
censes TO responsible commission peo-
pie. which license shall demand GER
tain requirements, and which shall
place them subject TO regular investi-
cations by a state examiner, who
shall have access to their books, and
to whom justifiable complaints may
be made.
Ii seems absolutely necessary that
something should be done in the mat
ter which will suppress the dishonest
element in the commission business.
