PLAN TOSELL WHEAT
Three States May Form Grow
eTS' Association.

Boise, Idaho, March 2o.-Eighty
meetings for organization of the
Idaho Wheat Growers association
have been scheduled by A. A.
Elmore, chairman of the commit.
tee which is organizing the wheat
producers of Idaho, Oregon and
Washington, to enable them to sell
their grain to better advantage.
The three state associations will
have a united selling system, which
the organizers expect, will make
the Pacific northwest a marketing
unit. The plan is modelled after
the plans adopted by California
producers of fruit and other food
stufs fer cooperative selling and
distribution Of their products.
The idea Of forming wheat grow
ers' associations was first presented
at a meeting of the, farmers union
of Washington and northern Idaho
in Spokane, December 10, and the
committee of which MIR. Elmore is
chairman was there appointed.
Wheat growers of the three
states, under the proposed plan, are
being asked to sign up their wheat
production for a period of six
years, somewhat in the same
manner that California raisin
growers signed up their raisins, to
get their raisin producers associa-
tion started, Mr.. Elmore explained.
The associations will not be formed,
however, unless S, 900, ooo bushels
year are signed up.

Fragrant Bells of Easter.

Oh, fragrant bells or Easter,
You softly ring at dawn,
ln messy dell and woodland.
BY garden bed aud lawn,
Where winters SHOWS have melted
The brooks again are free
To ripple on in gladness
And share your mlnstreIsy.
Oh, chosen bells Of Easter.
IT'S yours to bud and bloom,
To tell the wondrous story
or life from out the tomb.
Where war has left It's fallows
You lift above the sod
Your loving cups, sweet censors
That bear the Peace OF God.

HITS CABINET FORM
Ea9leSOn Out For CubernatOT
ial Nomination.

Jnhn " Eagleson, state treasurer,
and several times reelected to that
office. has formally announced his
candidacy for the republican nomlna-
tIoo for governor Of Idaho.
He declares his belief "in the
Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt
,yne of Americanism. under one flag,
ia one language, without entangling
alliances, with malice toward none,
and with charity for ALL" He has
40 sympathy with men who
advocate violence, sabotage and
GedItion."
Following are excerpts from Mr..
Eapleson's announcement:
IL have all faith in our national
constitution, and high regard for
our state constitution and l do not
believe 10 amending either, 10 spirit
or letter, by treaty, congressional or
legislative enactment. Constitutional
amendments should be made only in
the manner provided for 10 the
constitutions themselves.
The recent attempt TO amend the
spirit and intent OF our state cousti-
tuition, wherein it provides for boards
OF control of our states business aud
resources, by substituting therefor
appointive centralized or cabinet
control by the governor, without
discussion or vote of the people, is a
species of radical usurpation Of power
that plainly points the way TO a
dangerous aud extravagant dictator
ship of public affairs, eliminating the
essential safeguards intended by our
state constitution. Idaho has too
many millions of dollars involved TO
experiment with any form of business
control which, before its enactment,
was never set forth 10 anY political
party platform nor was eyer discussed
by the state press or BY the people.
Notwithstanding the many encom-
iums appearing Ia the press regarding
the so-called cabinet form OF state
government, 1 am impelled by indis-
puta6le facts to state that this new
government is in my opinion not only
less efficient than our constitutional
board form OF state government, but
tits more expensive and infinitely
less secure"

assistants in the state treasurer's
officer are now handling over three
times the volume of business that
came to the office at the beginning of
my service, with the addition of but
one clerk; and only for a time to keep
tne work from piling up has an extra
cerk been employed. l believe
very material reduction ia the expense
OF operating many OF our state depart
rents can be had, and at the same
Tine increase their efficiency. If

= BY Commerce Chamber

Unless the Washington Chamber OF
Commerce subcommittee on . con-
vention hall for Washington arranses
to combine a National Guard Armory
with the hall. provided the hall 10
built, there Ii a smallQ prospect of the
District Guard obtaining a suitable
armory for years. according TO Col.
Winfield Jones, chairman OF the Ma
tional Guard committee OF the Cham-
ber OF Commerce.
AFTER four years OF effort the Ma
tional Guard committee obtained
from Congress a provision for 81 .OO0,-

buildings bill. but this bill failed to
pass at the last session." Colonel
Jones said yesterday.

because of the heavy postwar ex.
penses OF he Government A public

The only prospect for an armory
is through some plan such as the pro-
posed convention hall. which could
readily be a combined convention hall
and armory. Plans for such a build~
ing would be Of assistance in raising
funds for the hall.
THE District Guard will not amounc
