h ehC year, yct udVcu WOlu " say about the prices of the meals. He said when the four bushels of wheat that the farmer last winter got $6 | for and the miller SIP for, reached the baker, he got $57 for it, while the ho- tells and restaurants got $570 for 1t. He said if low prices for the producer meant low prices for the consumer, the producer would have less cause for complaint, but it doesn't work that lway. There is too great a spread be- ween the hand of the producer and the mouth of the consumer. As startling proof of that fact, Mir. Brown said all our great cities with their factories, transportation and lighting systems, parks, theatres and banks and banking systems are paid for and maintained by the diff erence between what the producer gets and the consumer pays. A more homely illustration he cited about a recent trip he made to New York and his desire to visit the hippodrome. The really good seats were $25 each. He finally got seat up in "nigger' heaven, where he had to rent glasses to see the stage, for $1.50. Yet all the $25> seats were full, their oc- cupants, he assumed, being people who had profited from the "spread in price between himself, the producer, who could afford only $1.5O seat, and the. consumer. The speaker de- clared that the trouble is our own fault. If we trade horses and I tell you to place your own valuation on both, l can guess what you are go- ling to do to me-" he said. "That is the way we market our produce" President Hugh Campbell at this point received a wire from Senator Cameron announcing that Arizona's portion of the s50,000, ,0O0 pool should be available not later than July 20. Packers Heard From.
 c. B. Heineman, secretary of the Institute of American Meat Packers, though he looked pretty we'll groom ed and fed, said that the packers are all as blue as indigo and are trying to make their losses just as small as possible. He said the greatest troub- le is lack of confidence, failing to make it clear whether he meant lack of confidence in the packers. "Stop agitation" he begged, land let the old law of supply and demand become effective" again failing to make him self clear whether he referred to the demands of the packers.
 Rudolph Kuchler, state land com- missioner, made very brief talk, in which he said that the only means to success is cooperation.
 M T.a1aa,an oe K...oc C,x,, general live stock agent for the Santa Fe, who had been substituted as speaker for himself by Mir. Mcqueen, won the hearts of his auditors by as- surfing them that he was ready at all times to recommend what they asked for, adding that his recommendation were most always carried out. He is the man who recommended and secur- ed for northern Arizona sheepmen the 38 per cent reduction on freight of sheep from the Salt river valley during April and May, this year. There were 616 car loads of sheep, which smeant a big saving. He has already recommended that the 35 per cent reduction on freight of cattle which was granted up to the 18th of VILE inOhtn OU HIS be extended to September 15. He said he was pretty sure the time would be extended, to an even later date, if they desired.
 State Attorney General Galbraith was introduced and spoke very brief ly. He was followed by Governor T. F.. Campbell.
 Governor Campbell Speaks.
 The latter said that the present fin- ancial depression is only the inevit- able outcome of the war and that we simply fell as far below normal as we were above normal. He warned against too much dependence on the benefits the stockmen of this state are to receive from the $50,000, ,000 pool, which, he said, is for the use of l the stockmen of the entire country, and will reach this state in propor- ton to the success the Arizona com mittee of bankers appointed to help 1 apply the money have in proving the | need of it here.
 The last speaker of the afternoon was D. F. Johnson, chairman of the state corporation commission, and then business was adjourned until the next morning.
 Fun at Banquet.
 That evening fun and good fellow ship reigned at the annual banquet, at Masonic Temple, at which there were 200 guestts, many prominent Flagstaff business and professional men and their ladies being included.
 Following the elaborate and splen- didly prepared and served courses, by the ladies of the Rebekah lodge, and a generous amount of beautiful music, Mir. and Mrs. Bud Waters being the instrumentalists and Mrs. Lou Charlebois and Albert Michelin Pergain the soloists, came a veritable orgy of oratory; not the stale facts and figures and q didn't come prepared" kind, but all of it while impromptu, richly favored with spicy wit. All the addresses were brief, and all were good for genuine laughter and admiring applause.
 The two presidents, K. H. Crabb and Hugh E. Campbell, sat together at the head table and kept the fun
