THE FEDERAL MARKETING BUREAU.

Apple growers of the Yakima and Wenatchee
districts of this state and Of various Oregon pro-
ducing sections are being united in one great
selling organization which is to eliminate SO many
middlemen and to bring higher prices to the pro-
Queer and lower prices to the consumer, and the
agency which is working out this plan is the
bureau of markets Of the federal department of
agriculture.
After the first boom in the Eastern Washington
orchards subsidized, the growers, having previously
acted Independently, began to form selling organ
izations, each group in its own district This plan
failed Of much success so the next step was to
group several such associations. Still there was
no material improvement in the situation and the
growers began to look around until they finally
realized that why the price paid them was low
and the price charged the customer was high, was
because of the fact that their apples passed
through too many hands from the time they left
their orchards until they reached the consumer

the appointment of Mr.. ]. Robinson

ably no local appointment that has
ever been made has been the subject
of more bitter contention.

the enterprise.

inspiration and the model for it's campaign for
the erection of homes for every rural school teach

Washington has done and is doing in providing
for it's rural teachers in this way and contends
that such improved homes will tend to introduce
better class of teachers into the rural districts

Jones of the senate and LaFollette of the house,
were the only two members Of the congressional
delegation from this state who voted against the
president in the recent fight the negotiations
with Germany, a fight which the New York World
characterizes as ZONE of the most disgraceful
chapters in the history of congress. We invite
your perusal of an editorial from the Oroville
Gazette, published in another column of this ISSUE
as an indication of what one outspoken Repub-
lican thinks of Jones' attitude on this question.

By all means the commissioners should build the
short road for which the Tono residents and bust
ness interests are petitoning. The spirit Of those

not do it now because their only outlet is into
Lewis county, is certainly commendable, certainly
worthy of consideration, COO peration and encour-
agement.

One thing we may be certain of now in looking
forward to the various political campaigns this
fall: they going to be vicious and they are
going to be dirty. These are to be the attributes
the attacks already made on the state supreme
court indicate that-though the main fight may
be conducted along sufficiently legitimate lines.
Personalities mud-slinging, abuse of one kind or
another, with the frequent use Of the dastardly
weapon to which the dirty politician is most apt
to resort the publication of rumors palpably false
are all to figure in the political goings on of the
next few months, if what has already happened
can be taken to indicate what is in store.
The fight the Republicans will make on Cover
nor Lister will rotate about two things, according
to presentday gossip: first, that he has fallen
down on his promises of economy and efficiency
In the conduct of the state government, and
ord, that he has appointed incompetent persons to
certain state positions. Under the former, the
Republican politicians plan and hope to blame
him for all the appropriations of two Republican
legislatures, record that provoked storm of
protest among members of all parties throughout
the state under the latter they propose to put the
industrial insurance commission in the stellar role,
with attacks on other appontees as the campaign
change without notice" to whatever the political
exigencies may require, but that is the general
plan Of it.
Will they be able to get away with it, So far
= the first point is concerned, it seems preposter-
ous to suppose it would be possible to hold gov
ernor responsible for the acts Of hostile legisa-
ture, particularly when he exerted every influence
at his hand to prevent those acts and when the
facts in the case are 80 generally known by the
people of the state. So far as the other point is
concerned, the scandal IN the industrial insurance
department offers the opening, an opening which
the Republican politicians will contend was not
closed BY the conviction Of Jack Gillies on two
charges, though the people of the state generally
seem to think that, far at least as official re-
gponsibility on the governors part is concerned,
practically all that could be done to rectify de-
plorable situation, has been done.
Whatever is to be the result next November
and the Republicans who are leading the fight on
Lister are by no means certain they will defeat
him they profess to be-these are the lines upon
which we are going to fight it out this spring and
summer. They are issues exactly to the COVER
nor liking, we presume, because he knows his
record as to economy and he knows the capabili-
ties Of his appointees. If they are incompetent,
he had no business appointing them in the first
place, or keeping them on the job after he found
them out, but having appointed them and having
kept them on the job, the logical assumption is
that he is prepared to defend them, if defense de
necessary, when the time comes. So that on both
issues there can hardly be any doubt Of the fact
that he is prepared and ready to 60 down the line
with whoever wants to fight.

We admire the spirit of the article by L. L.
Snow president of the Olympia Potato club, which
appears on another page. The letter is candid,
stating situation as the writer sees it, outlining
the remedy proposed and inviting cooperation,
and it is also very frank. The club proposes to
apply its own remedy to its own members, while
outsiders watch and wait; it does not propose to
''die a-bornin','' to become discouraged by ad-
verse criticism, or to stagnate. It does propose to
show what can be done and whether you like the
Clubs idea not, you've got to admit that that's
the proper spirit
