I can not refrain from calling atten-

change has been a potent influence In
bringing about the great prosperity
which we see on every hand, and Il
left undisturbed in its operation and
if given permission to market the en-
tire citrus fruit n Florida, the Ex-
change will return to the growers
such enormous profits as will in a

and that they control larger vol
ume of business.
We have, during the ten years we
have been operating, distributed from
the Tampa office to the Sub Exchang-
es for the growers, almost thirty
three millions of dollars and as an in.
dication Of growth and prosperity Of
the Exchange, eight million Of this
has been expended during the last
marketing season, and between five
and six million dollars during the
next preceding season, when We con-
template what thirty-three million Of
dollars in the last ten years, has
done for South Florida, in view Of
the fact that every dollar of this
money went back to the growers who
produced the fruit, was used by each
OF them In developing and building
up the community in which he lives,
it is impossible to measure the bene
fit which the Florida Citrus Exchange
has been to South Florida. It IS per-
fectly safe to say, in the light of all
we know, that il this fruit had been
marketed through, any speculative
agency, not twenty millions of it
would have gone to the men who pro
duced the fruit.
When we organized the Florida
Citrus Exchange the central Office be-
came simply marketing agency. A
marketing agency for ourselves but
we found very soon that marketing
agency contemplated vastly more than
receiving a carload of fruit and mar
keting it in the north. We found 1t
necessary to do a great many other
things. First of all, organizing an
accounting office in Florida, where
the accounting is SO accurate that

ity and of the brotherhood of man.
Ordinarily organizations of busi-
ness have their charter and bylaws,
and they have more than that--they
have their money put into their in
situations and they are bound together
then by selfish interest. Having their
money in certificates of stock they
operate the organization for the pur.
post of realizing dividends upon their
investment. The Florida Citrus Elk
change has no stock. The man who
becomes member has one vote, the
widow with small holdings, trying to
support her children with few or
ange trees, becomes member and is
entitled to one vote. Every member
is entitled to equal rights and equal
privileges and receives equal bene-
1T. This is the principle this Or
ganization stands for from the begin
ming to the end, where nobody by any
possibility can receive personal ad-
vantage. II I succeed In 50 manag-
ing the affairs that I have to do with
in the Exchange, that 1t produces
large prices for your fruit, the only
possible benefit that I get is that I
get the similar big prices fer my
fruit, but / cannot possibly benefit
myself without benefitting you; and I
reafflrm that there Is no place along
the whole procedure where anybody
can receive any especial benefit, but
the object of the whole thing is to
treat everybody right. Some CT the
large growers claim to have remained
out because Of this very democratic
principle in the organization CT the
Exchange. Some have been afraid
that in the associations small men Of
limited business knowledge might be
in control, while large property own

rs would find themselves handicap

ers would find themselves handicap
ped from this cause. To my mind
this is the very glory of this organi-
cation, that all fare alike, and, look
ing back over ten years experience
in the associations, large and small,
affiliated with the Florida Citrus Elk
change, we know that, as a matter of
fact, always the brightest men, the
most capable men in the associations,
are chosen as directors to manage the
business of the association. In fact.
this is just as it is in the American
republic man may be multi
millionaire, but when he comes to
vote for president, for senators, for
congressman, he has but one vote, as
the honest day laborer who Is not
worth a hundred dollars has one
vote, and there is no cumulative vot-
ing; and it is upon this principle that
the American people have grown
great, and it is upon this principle
that the Florida Citrus Exchange has
prospered until now. AS a matter Of
fact, during the ten years of our ex
,stence and though we began small,
and though we labored under many
handicaps, though we have been con-
stantly opposed by those interested in
making profit by specializing n cit
rus fruit, the Exchange has constant
ly grown, its early mistakes, If any.
have been corrected, its organization
has become more effective, both in
Florida and in the north; and l have
no hesitation in saying today tnat the
Florida Citrus Exchange is the best,
the cheapest, and the most effective
marketing organization in the coun-
try. with one possible exceptioIi-that
is the California Fruit Growers Ex-
clahge, and they have nothing on us,
except the fact that they have lived
longer and had more time in which to
grow and perfect their organization,

values, wish to call your attention
to the fact that in every instance the
groves which have sold at highest
prices have been groves in neighbor-
hoods where the Florida Citrus Elk
change predominates Why should 1t
not be so? No man knows the true
value Of an orange grove unless he
gets full value for the product of
that grove, and no man can know
that when he sells his fruit to spec
ulator, because it happens many times
that the Spectator makes more
money through the grove crop than
does the grower himself.
And so we come today to celebrate
the tenth anniversary Of the birth OF
the cooperative marketing agency,
which is operated without malice,
without profit. Which has no fight to
make on anybody else, which does not
seek to NEEDLE in other peoples
business but which is an aggregation
of growers and which has a perfect
right to discuss the merits OF an.
proposition which seeks to invade
this industry of Florida, because We
are discussing a question then which
concerns ourselves. Speculative in.

Now mo doubt, DR.. Bize will also
tell you something of the value of
this Florida industry upon values in
Florida but my friends, want TO tell
you that no thing in South Florida
has been SO beneficial to its upbnild-
ing, no thing has done so much to
make the growers independent an1
prosperous, as has the Florida Citrus
Exchange. 1t has enabled the grow
er to obtain for his fruit every dol
lar that 1t was worth and thus each
citizen has been better able to meet
his obligations to his government
during the recent war and to be an

hood, or the locality in which he lives

also necessary for your marketing
agency to be in all those territories
where sales are made, and we have
for ten years, secured the country
for men of greatest ability and great
est skill in selling fruit and we have
employed them at salaries, SO that in
stead of employing some Spectator,
we ship a carload Of fruit to our
selves, we receive 1t ourselves, we in
spect 1t for ourselves. We know for
ourselves what the condition Of that
fruit is and it is sold accordingly.
We had to go further than that, in
those various cities we maintain Of
fees and there we have clerks, and
inspectors who go out on the tracks,
in all kinds of weather, and crawl
into these cars and examine the fruit.
All these have to be maintained in
the north.
