MANY MILLIONS WANTED.

Congress assembled Monday for
the session which is expected to be
the greatest in the memory of the
present generation.
The greatest budget of expendi-
lures ever placed before amy Ameri-
can congress in times of peace was
brought in from the various branches
OF the government, the total being
some one hundred and seventy mil
lion dollars more than was asked
for last year. The great part OF the
proposed increased expenditure is for
the enlarged army and navy pro-
grams and, aside from working out
the problem of national defense, it
will be the business of congress to
raise the revenue to pay for it.

even a small per cent OF our orders
and in some cases in order to hold
our trade we were compelled to go
to non-members for products with
which to fill orders. Our experience
has taught us many things which
will aid us in the future, and will
aid in charging the business and in
getting quicker returns to the
growers.
This latter, in our estimation, is
one of the most important factors
in this department, and the quicker
We can get returns to the growers
for their summer fruits the faster
and stronger will this department
grow Knowledge of the trade which
will guide us in the matter Of credits
will hasten quick returns and safe
guard bad accounts. In order to
make the local marketing a success
it is absolutely necessary that the
growers notify us early in the sea-
son of the products which they ex-
pect to market through this depart
ment, in order that We may make
preparations for marketing same.
We have learned the trade and what
products they want and when and
how they want them.
In order to aid our growers we
think it plan for this office to
notify them before the planting sea
son of the products most in demand
by the trade; and also tell them OF
those products which are hard to
move SO that they may plant accord
ingly.
In other words this office and our
growers must cooperate in giving
each other information in regard
to what is wanted, and what is or
win be ON hand for shipments. I'M
order to hold our customers it is
necessary that we fill all orders
promptly and carefully, and to do
this our growers must be in read1-
ness with the desired products, or
provisions must be made whereby
we can Secure elsewhere such
products as our growers do not have
in order that we may fill all orders
and thus retain the good will of the

trade. Too much care cannot be
used in the grading and packing o.
these shipments of soft fruits and
vegetables which, if put up in nice
shape will carry well and please the
purchasers and which, when put VI
carelessly will only mean a loss Oh
money and customers.
Our greatest handicap Is the hlgh
express rates and the very poor local
freight service. The express rates TO
points in the extreme Eastern part
of the state, where great quantities
of soft fruits and vegetables are con-
sumed, is so much higher than the
Utah rates to the same points, that
it is next to impossible to get busi-
ness from these people; Of the rates
were the same, or even similar to
these points our business would be
increased 500 per cent. While BOISE
has am iced freight car Via Nampa

branch. allowing shipments of all
kinds of produce. via local freight an
only taking two days time to de-

OH, REFORM 1T ALTOGETHER.

Oh, REFORM IT ALTOGETHER.
It is reported that President vii
lson proposes that the money for his
projects of national defense shall bt
found in the pork barrel. He will urge
Congress to pare to the bone the
expenditures for public buildings anc
river and harbor improvements, ant
leave the money to be used In better
ing our naval and military establish
ments.
This is admirable on all accounts.
The new program must not be H.
nanced with borrowed money. 1t is
bad economics and bad patriotism to
saddle expenditures like this ON COM
| ing years. A bond issue in time OF
peace to finance a program Of pre-
paredness for war ought to prove
the political death knell of any adj
ministration that should urge 1T. 1t
is likewise the part of wisdom to
have the burden OF such expenditures
$50 fall upon those who authorize
them that they will really feel its
weight. We should all be little
more cautious about giving enthusiast
tic support to an elaborate program
of expenditure If we were to see the
concrete result of it In our own in
come tax bills.
But the proposal is also admirable
because of the blow it will strike at
the pork barrel system if carried
out. That system, by which we spend
unbelievable millions not because the
nation needs the things for which 1T
is spent-in the way of public build
ings and putative waterway improve
because individual sena-
tors and congressman need the per-
sonal prestige that comes from get
ting the things done i'm their districts
is national disgrace. Anything that
will diminish its extent is a consum-
nation devoutly to be wished. If the
President really intends a foray
against this STRONGHOLD of extrava-
gance and personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
we can only wish more power to his
arm.
But has he stopped to consider
that the sign of the pork barrel is
to be found not only ON public build
ing and river and harbor bills, but
A
thousand dollar post office in a town

irst assault-we had almost said
lpon the pork barrel, but since that
would be a little equivocal, let us
ay-upon the pork barrel system.
Let the President recommend and
insist upon, with that PERSISTENCE

In addition to the above this de-

prices in local markets, and have
plans underway whereby We have
every reason to believe that few
more cars will be moved before

no markets for Idaho fruit that, If
worked consistently, will be valuable

There are several things which
seriously hampered the workings of
this department this past season,
and in many cases reduced our ship
ments to a considerable extent.
Chief among these being the lack
OF information In this office OF the

us to market, and the difficulty In

We had secured them.

OF THE LOCAL SALES DEPART
MENT OF THE |DAHO-OREGON FRUIT
GROWERS ASSOCIATION FOR 1915.

The closing of the season for local
sales has brought out the handicap
the Idaho-Oregon Fruit Growers AS.
ISOLATION has been working under
the past season and General Mama
ger M. J. Higley has taken steps in
the interest of the growers to Sc
cure lower rates and local refrig-
orator service, both of which are
matters of vital necessity if the
soft fruits and vegetables grown In
this part of the state are to be
marketed for the growers at a
profit.
Mr.. Higley has the matter up with
the railway people who are co-opera-
ting with him and displaying a deep
interest in the matter.
With proper rates and facilities to
move the product promptly to the
consumers less favorably situated
than this Valley, it is possible to
expand this business to very large
volume
The past years experience will be
of great value to the Association in
extending and developing this branch
very greatly.
