1t now goes to the senate.
1t would prohibit speculation or
gambling n farm products but would
not interfere with Legitimate" hedg-
ing. The distinction between gam
bling" and legitimate grain future
trade contracts, under the bill is bas-
ed upon the actual intention to make
delivery of grain contracted for.
Farmers Demand Passage.
This bill is called for by market
ing condition that has prevailed in .his
and other states for years and which
has convinced the producers that the
system has an injurious effect on the
prices they receive for grain said
Representative r. A. Wilkinson. in
arguing for passage Of the bill, of
which he was one of the sponsors.
''The bill will allow the marketing of
farm produce on basis subject to
the natural law Of supply and demand
and free from manipulation or artifi-
eial control"
Representative Wilkinson said that
referendum among 10000 members
of farmers organizations disclosed
sentiment overwhelmingly in favor Of
the proposed legislation.
Opponents Hard Hit.
Opponents of the bill said the meas
ure threatened destruction of the
Minneapolis chamber of commerce and
the Duluth board Of trade. They con-
tended that the practice of future
trading would continue in other mark
cts outside Of the state and that the
end desired would not be accomplish
ed.
Violation of the proposed law would
be q misdemeanor.
The gross misdemeanor would be
punishable on first offense of fine
from $500 to $1,000. and imprison-
ment in the countp jail for not to ex-
ceed one year until such fine is pad.
The second offense includes both the
fine and imprisonment of from 80 to
80 days. A corporation would lose it's
charter on conviction the second time.
The bill provides that every con-
tract for the sale for future delivery

ducts wherein the actual delivery Of
the commodity sold is not, in good
faith. contemplated or intended py
one or both Of the contracting parties, "

Staff Correspondence.

Staff Correspondence.
Helena, March 3.-Dixon and anti
Dixon forces in the house and senate
battled Thursday afternoon and night
over a move instituted by the anti
Dixon forces to compel the house to
concur in S. B. 2S3, which would have
enabled the state to borrow $2OO0,OOO
to carry it over the present financial
breakers, the main idea of the move
at this late hour being to head off thu.
threatened call for extra session OF
the legislature.
BY q vote.fof 81 to 1S the senate
adopted RESOLUTION offered by Hazel
baker asking for the appointment OF a
special committee Of three from each
house to consider the revival Of $. B.
283.
Relief Money Shortage.
The resolution set forth that this
sale would provide funds sufficient to
meet the present urgent needs Of the
state and the financial institutions OF
the state, which are now the holders
of large amounts of state warrants
heretofore issued by the state. and
that the money so paid into the several
trust funds and financial institutions Of
the state could again be used for the
purpose of taking up the warrants
necessarily issued at the present time"
Heren moved that Hazelbaker's mo-
ton for adoption of the resolution be
laid on the table and moved a call
of the house and the later roll call
on his motion.
Explaining his vote, Booth asserted
''there seems to be studied attempt
ON the part of some members Of this
legislature to delay everything that
might prevent the conyening Of special
session."
Resolution Is Adopted.
The motion to table lost 21 to 80,
and then the resolution was adopted.
When the resolution reached the
house at 8 p. M, the Dixon and anti
Dixon forces at once engaged in a bat
tie. Johnson of Deer Lodge county,
moved adoption Of the resolution.
while Dodds of Flathead county, moved
to lay the motion of the table. c. C..
tConser moved as substitute for all
motions that wherever in the resolu-
ton appears the words senate bill
283" that these be stricken and the
words "house bill 5" be substituted,
and that wherever appeared any ref
erence to the subject Of senate bill
2S3 that it be stricken and the words
Montana tax commission be substi-
tuted. The speaker held this latter
motion to be out Of order.
Macdonald of Flathead county,
stated the house had already acted on
this bill, had refused concurrence and
the time for reconsideration had ex-
pired.
End Comes Quickly.
The speaker held the Conser motion
out of order and said it was the duty
of the house to name a conference
committee. Dan MacQuarrie moved
the appointment of such committee,
whereupon Dodds moved to table the
motion. Without considering this mo-
ton the speaker appointed to the con-
ference committee Conser, Buell. and
Macdonald Of Flathead.
The house Thursday night asked for
a conference on II. B. 5, but the SEN
ate refused. Dodds then moved that
the house members of the conference
committee on s. B. 2S3 be recalled
and discharged. Carried.
Skulason moved that another con-
ference committee be appointed, but
the motion was tabled

Text Of Veto Message

The text of President Wilson's veto
OF the Fordney emergency tariff bill
follows:
Il return herewith without Tmy ap-
proval II. b. 1925, an act impoAln4
temporary duties upon certain aTricpl-
tural products to met present emor>
gencies to provide revenue and for
other purposes.
'"The title of this measure indicates
that It has several purposes. The
report of the committee on ways and
means reveals that its principal OBJ
ject is to furnish to certain produce
ers in the nation who have been I'M
able to discover satisfactory markets
in foreign countries for their products
and whose prices have fallen. Very
little reflection would lead any one
to conclude that the measure would
not furnish in any substantial degree
the relief sought by the producers Of
most OF the staple commodities which
It covers.
Al Export Natloa.
This nation has been for many
years large exporter Of agricultural
products. For nearly q generation
before It entered the Eufppean war
It's exports exceeded its Imports Of
agricultural commodities by from ap-
proximately 500, O,OOO, 600 to more than
$500. 100000 In recent years this
excess has greatly increased and In

His Message Declares.

Washington, March 3.-Sign.
ing by President Wilson OF the
resolution to repeal virtually all Of
the war laws, was announced
Thursday night at the White
House.
The President also approved
four additional appropriation mea-
sures-the lndiaa; Legislative, ex.
ecutive and Judicial; agricultural
and Notifications bills. The army
bill Thursday night was the only
appropriation measure before him.
Washington, March 3.-The
Fordney emergency tariff bill
was vetoed late Thursday by
President Wilson in a message
which declared 'sthat this is
no time for the erection here
of high trade barriers" and
that the measure would not
furnish in any substantial de-
gree the relief sought by the
producers of most of the staple
commodities which it covers"
Action on the veto was expected IN
the house and possibly the senate
Thursday night, with the. Indications
for overriding it considerably in doubt.
No Short Way Out.
The situation in which many Of
the farmers of the country find them
selves cannot be remedied by Z mea-
sure of this sort the president said,
in his letter. There is no short way
out of existing conditions" he added.
'and measures of this sort can only
have the effect OF deceiving the farm
ers and of raising false hopes among
them" .
The farmer needs better system Of
domestic marketing and credit, he said,
but especially larger foreign markets
for his surplus products"
Clearly, measures of this Sort" he
continued. will not conduct to m ex-
pansion Of the foreign market"
Prospective Revenue Siieht
The president said the measure .has
only slight interest 80 far as ito pros-
pective revenue yields are concerned"
and declared that the rates established
in the bill .'either equal or exceed
those established under the PAYNE
Aldrich act. in which the principle Of
protection reached its high water mark,
and the enactment Of which was fol-
lowed by an effective exhibition Of
protest on the part Of the majority
of the American people"
Il do not believe" the president
said. that the sober Judgment Of the
of the people of the nation. or
even of the special class whose in
terests are Immediately affected BY
this measure, will sanction q return"

RESULT OF ASS0CIA-
TION BALLOT GIVEN

The following is an explanation of
the election of Directors of the Apple
Growers Association on April 2, 1921.
On the first ballot f.. w. Brge, r. j.
Mclsaac. j. r. Nunamaker. and j. C.
Porter of the present Board and Glenn
b. Marsh, John Mohr and E. G. Brown
lee not members of the present Board,
received majority of both Member
ship votes and Tonnage votes, also
more votes both Membership and Ton
mage than any other candidates, and
they were therefore declared elected.
The Bylaws provide that no person
can be elected Director who does not
receive majority of all votes cast at
a meeting, both Membership and Ton
mage, thus requiring each candidate in
order to qualify for election to reoeive
on his BALLOT at least 1872 Membership
and at least 1902 Tonnage votes, the
Membership and the Tonnage votes to
be counted separately.
The Members not elected, but who
received majority of both Member
ship and Tonnage votes were as fol
lows. viz.
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1921-04-14

The foregoing being the only candi-
dates who received a sufficient number
of both Membership and Tonnage votes
to have been elected, it becomes neces-
sary to determine which candidate had
the lowest number of votes both Mem
bership and Tonnage, by counting
them separately. For example MIR.
Benton and Mr.. Jeffrey had a majority
of both Membership and Tonnage votes
over all of the candidates excepting
DR.. Cutlery, but DR.. Cutlery who had
more Tonnage vote than any of the
other four parties had less Member
ship votes than Mr. Graft; therefore
Mr. Benton and Mr.. Jeffrey could not
have been elected unless DR.. Cutlery
was elected. DIR. Cutlery was not
elected because he did not have as
many Membership votes as Mr.. Graft
and as to Mr.. Graft and Mr.. Dethman,
Mr.. Graft could not be elected over
Mr.. Dethman because Mr.. Dethman
had more Tonnage votes than Mr..
Graft.
On examining the foregoing votes of
each candidate it will readily be seen
that no single candidate had a majority
of both Membership and Tonnage votes
when counted separately over the other
four candidates, and it will be seen
that no candidate had less number of
votes both membership and Tonnage
when counted separately than the other
four candidates. 1t therefore becomes
that none Of these five candi-
dates were elected from the fact that
there is no provision in our Bylaws
to change Membership votes to Ton
mage votes or vice versa in the election
Of Directors.

ROAD BOND ELEC-
TION in PROSPECT
LOOP HIGHWAY MAY CALL BALLOT
Tentative Proposals Call EOr S265, 900 on
Loop Highway and Sum for West
Side Hard Surface Road

From present indications citizens of
! Hood River county may vote on ther
first substantial road bond issue at the
special election of June. Back from a
conference with the State Highway
| Commission in Portland Saturday. the
county court, consisting of Judge Has
brouck, and Commissioners Blackman
and Sheppard, are ready to discus thor
oughly with citizens the matter of
Hood River county's participation in
construction of the east end of the
Loop Highway, which will form a
trunk line through the Hood River val
ley and connect the scenic mountain
loop with the Columbia River High
way. The court members were accom-
panied at the conference by e. 0.
Blanchar, Leslie Butler, Charles CAST
ner, C.. A. Bell and w. l.. Clark.
The bond election may be postponed
until early in 1922. Citizens. however.
do not object to the ballot in June. but
opposition, it is said, will be raised to
any fall disturbance of roads at time
when the movement Of apples to ship
ping points might be retarded.
Hood Rivers sole bond issue to date.
a total of $4,000. voted in 1914 for
opening the Columbia River Highway
through from the Mutnomah county
line to the city, has been partially paid
off. The county to date owes only
S57. 600 on this issue. Legal restric-
tons will limit the county's further
bonded Indebtedness to $54l, ,4l2.53.
But the program of the Loop Highway
will call for maximum of only $685.
600. The bond election, however, will
probably call for another $l00, 600 with
which to hard surface West Side orch
ard district roads. The proposed trunk
line does not touch the West Side dis
trict, and bond solely for the Loop
Highway might not meet with West
Side favor. The State Highway Com
mission offers to go $3.50 with Hood
River county in constructing the trunk
inc road connecting with the Loop
Highway at the edge of the national
ofest.
The trunk inc was surveyed by j.
Scott. division engineer of the
State Highway Department, in 1919.
/ is little over 20 miles long. Some
objection has been advanced by ranch
RS on the ground that the location
eliminates too much existing county
highway. 1t is also opposed because
passes outside the limits of Park
ale, Odell and Van Horn. The sur
-ey however. calls for the location of
he new road within an approximate
lalf mile of each of the valley shin
'ias points. 1t is claimed that this
viii be an advantage rather than other
wise, as apple trucks would congest
be highway should it pass the doors
f apple warehouses.
Just what final opposition may de-
elop to the proposed bond issue has
OF crystalized however. Citizens of
alley and city, discussing the pro-
osal of the st te Highway Commits
ion, voice generals approval of the
rospoed measure. 1t is declared that
lood River county cannot afford not to
leet the offer of the commission, and
nus secure a much needed trunk line
ighway connecting the Upper and
over Valleys.
