KA|SER'S ARTISTS
ARE POORLY PAID
ROYAL OPERA INVESTS MILLION
IN COSTUMES, BUT LIT
TIE IN TALENT.

BERLIN, April 19--That the kali
ser is a poor operate, dramatic and
musical critic is shown by the fact
that in Berlin which is the musical
center Of the world, he pays the low
est salaries at the royal opera than
at any other big house of this kind
in the universe. He runs the royal
opera to suit his own taste, regard
less of the public Indirect charges
were made this week, during the de-
bates on budget. when the educational
estimates were under consideration.
The management of the royal opera,
under count Won Hulsen, the kaisers
manager, was severely scored. 1t was
shown that many singers received the
wages of servant girls. and mechanics
were rated as equal to the best play
! ers in the orchestra.
Herr Kopsch read before the diet
a schedule OF the wages paid. The
members Of the orchestra. according
to this list, got an average of $40
per month, the chorus S25. the stage
mechanics $40, and the scene shutters
SIS, after they had received4-a 81
per cent raise. Herr kopsCh de-
clared that the fact that the cos
tunes owned hy the royal opera were
valued at $1,000. 000, showed that the
money was spent only on outward
show, while the conditions were such
that the best talent had left, or was
leaving.
According to Kopsch. Emmy Des-
tim is quoted as saying that she had
offered to remain for one-fourth of
he salary she had been offered by
the Metropolitan opera House. if the
conditions were made more Sausfac-
tory Kopsch scored the performance
Of "kerkyra' which had been spe-
cially composed and produced for the
kaiser.

STATE EMPLOYEES MUST
TURN OVER MONEYS DAILY

Governor Ammons discovered this
week that under the Shafroth way ai
running state departments the head oil
each department deposited the funds
that he collected in the bank to his
own personal account and turned them
over to the state monthly and allowed
his bonds to protect the state from
loss. In one case, that of the commits
sioner of insurance, his bond was $780,
900. and at one time he had over S126.-
600 of state moneys to his own account.
What was true in this department was
true in large measure in other de-
partments. Governor Ammons imme-
diately called special session of the
finance committee of both house and
senate and insisted that the daily de-
posit law be enacted Immediately. He
also called the heads of the depart
ments in and told them that while he
knew they We're within the law they
could take their choice of cutting their
bank balance below their bonds or
handing him their resignation They
cut their balances below their bonds.

departments.
Third: To establish a work day

Fourth: To compel daily turnover
to the state treasurer of all moneys
collected.
Fifth: To give governor power to
abolish any board at any time.
Sixth: To give state auditing board
power to transfer employees from one
department to another.
Seventh: A general reduction in
the number of persons employed.
Eighth: To compel payment of in
terest on all state deposits.
There are a number of other bills
that will come up for consideration

In order to obtain the best results
there must be organized effort The
Fruit Growers association is probab-
| ly the best adapted of any organization
to handle the matter at present In
order to secure the best results, every
rancher ought to furnish the associa-
ton as early in the season as possible
complete list of the supplies he will
have to sell, and the time he desires
to market the same. This will furnish
the association data as to the extent
of the market they must seek in order
We believe in the absence OF any other
organization that all stuff ought to go
through the association, even the sup
ply of our local merchants. In no
other way can the supply and demand
be accurately balanced. The commits
sion charged would be much less than
would be lost from the irregularity of
marketing haphazard The associa
,tion can easily determine the loacl de-
mand and arrange for shipping out
the surplus. II tne StuI1 Is prorateu,
each would receive his proportional
share of the benefits of the local mar
ket. The cost of handling in this way
would be far less than to build up
separate organization for that pur-
pose. 1t would require but little time
and little effort to inform the associa.
tion of the probable supply OF each
article the rancher expects to market.
This data could be kept on file by the
association and the producer could be
notified when it can be delivered to
best advantage. We are confident
that this plan would return thousands
OF dollars each year to the producers
of the valley.

Marketina Fruit

following to say in behalf of cooper.

fully without reasonably accurate
knowledge of the supply. Where the
commodity is perishable and the time
between marketing and consumption
necessarily is short. 1t is all the more
imperative that the quantity be known
as long before marketing as possible.
In this regard our ranchers have been
woefully negligent. Year after year
our Fruit Growers Association has
tried to get q definite idea as to the
available supply OF the different varie.
ties of fruit. but unless 1t has been In
the last few years. the ranchers have
