FORM OF GOVERN
mENT UPHELD BY HIGH COURT

The validity of the commission form
Of government in Pueblo. Colorado
Springs. Durango. and Delta was set at
rest in an important decision OF the
supreme court few days ago
Yhsp the famous Tate case from
Pueblo was decided against the plain
tiff who held the commission form OF
government in Pueblo illegal. Judge
Walter Dixon was defeated on every
score. The court held the initiative
and referendum. the home rule amend.
ment and the right OF a city to govern
itself under the charter form of govern
ment.
The ruling was in the Tate case in
Pueblo where C. II. Tate demanded
that he retain his seat as alderman
when he was deposed by the inausura-
tion of the new charter. Judge n.
Walter Dixon. as his attorney. put up
a brilliant fight to prove that the COM
mission form of government in Colo
RADIO was Illegal. void and unconstitu-
tional but he has been defeated at ev,
cry step.
He claimed that the initiative and
referendum was illegally passed He
claimed that the home rule amendment
voted on and carried last year was
void. He maintained that charter gov
ernment is unconstitutional. but he has
been overruled in every particular.
Judge S. Harrison White of Pueblo,
dissented from the majority of the
court. Justice Hin did not participate
in the consideration of the case.
The opinion of the court will be
handed down on the next opinion day
which will be this month, it is ex-
pected.
This is the final victory of the
friends of commission government
over their foes and it is not believed
that there will be any further opposi-
tiou to the system in this state,
Since the Tate case has been before
the court-indeed. since there was first
any doubt about the construction of
the Rush amendment-there has been
shadow of doubt cast upon the valid
ity of the Colorado towns that have
commission government in operation.
Had the decision been the opposite
from what it was it would have meant
an irremediable legal tangle arising
over what would become the Illegal
acts OF the commissioners in these
towns and cities.

The Formation of Frui, Buds

Fruit buds are first formed as leaf
buds and later in the season they are
changed under right conditions. into
structurally distinct BY pruning away
a branch Immediately above a flower
bud II may be converted into leaf
bud and by wringing a branch just
below a leaf bud IL may be converted
into flower bud. The factor which
tends to the formation of flower buds
is the restriction of prepared food in
.he branches. such as is caused by the
wringing or wrinkling of the bark
formed by the union of the fruit spur
with the branch which supports it.
Dry weather is also conducive to the
formation OF flower buds, as during
such dry periods evaporation through
the leaves is rapid and sap becomes
concentrated and rich in prepared
food
Flower buds are then formed in
parts of the tree where there may be
no restrictions to the movement of
the sap as at the end of young shoots.
Whenever the water supply is in
creased the tendency is to wood
growth and the formation of leaf
buds. A decrease in water supply
tends to make the flower buds. When
the first spurs of n healthy tree push
into growth or sap sprouts start freely
from the old wood the growth is alb
normal and fruit production is post
poned The first clear evidence of
flower buds on the apple tree was
found one season June both. Another
season flower buds for the most part
were formed between August list and
September 3rd. Flower buds do not
usually form until active wood growth
for the season stops and the tree goes
into what we call its second growth,
In the northern states Il is desir-
able for the fruit buds that wood
growth come to an end about July LIST.
Should growth continue after this
date 1t may be checked by moderate
root pruning. This can be accom-
plished by plowing furrow each way,
followed by subsoiler, so that the

The Trouble With Our Selling.

| The Trouble With Our Selling.
Our Colorado fruit growers have no
organization that is big enough to
tackle the railroads and get equitable
shipping rates. George Kindel is
probably the only Colorado man who
was ever able to grasp the enormous
inequalities that exist in freight rates,
but he is not a fruit grower and Is
only cne man in a million. In fact
only last week the powers which pull
the strings at Washington saw that
he was not appointed on the interstate
corlmerce committee and he was
wise enough to decline the subterfuge
appointments they offered him. If a
man desires to ship apples from west
ern Colorado to Kan5as points, the
rate is seventy cents box. The rate
/. from the same point to Chicago,
thousand miles further on, is thirty
five cents. Why this prohibitive
rate and discrimination against our
nearest neighbors who need our
fruit and ought to have it?
! 1t is the same way with onions for
which the growers here in Colorado
could not get twenty five cents a cent
al, and yet they cost the consumer
/ in Kansas a dollar bushel. The
truth is that no stuff can be shipped
out of the irrigated districts and make
a decent profit to the raiser unless
the prices are made abnormally high
| in the outside markets, on account
I OF hold-up transportation charges.
| The political economists have just
worn out the thread on which they
have been hanging a good many con-
clusions in regard to our marketing
conditions. We shall never have a
/ system that will be just TO producer
and consumer alike so long as we are
| likely to create a glut here and a
| famine there. or permit an alteration
/ Of extremely high and low prices.
To ship carload of produce to a
city with no knowledge of the condi-
/ ton OF the market. but in the mere
hope that il will reach its destination
I AT moment of scarcity. is merely
gambling. The capacity Of every mar
+ ket 10 consume is NOT an absolutely
/ fixed quantity. but it is not so vari-
able a proposition that it may not be
] determined with some approximation
Of the fact. It is possible. to make
an instance to determine with some
approximation Of the truth, just how
many carloads Of apples or peaches
city will consume at a given price.
( With this knowledge and some
! central authority instituted to direct
| the selling. there would be neither
| those gluts that work disGstrously to
the producer. or those famines which
are so detrimental to the consumer.
/ Possibly II will be necessary TO bring
| about. as among the producers of the
several states and sections. what in
diplomacy is called modus vivendi.
whereby a preferential claim will be
allowed to every producing organiza-
tion to an allotted territory. subject
to such relaxations as fluctuating
conditions may suggest. II such an
arrangement should wound the suscep-
tibilities of any antitrust statute. that
statute would have to yield. nor would
II be difficult to make 1t yield. In
fact. President Wilson has already
declared himself in our favor on this
point by eliminating farmers organi-
cations from trust suspicion.-Field
