WHEREAS, said law does not in

make it more di -iicult, and does in
terfere with the dishonest and un-
scrupulous purchasers and con-
signees to defraud the growers and
conisgners, and
WHEREAS, it is this element,
the dishonest and unscrupulous ele-
ment, that is clamorlng for the re-
peal of this law or failing IN this,
then to have it amended in such
manner as to kill its force and eff.
ect. now therefore,

PROTEST FREIGHT INCREASE

Adding its voice Of protest to
those of other communities in East
ern Washington. the White Bluffs
Community Club at its December
meeting passed a resolution against
proposed increase in freight rates
from east Of tire mountains to
Coast points. All the resolutions
passed by the different communi-
ties were forwarded to the Yakima
Commercial club, which sent them
on to the Interstate Commerce
commission. The resolution passed
by the local club reads as follows:
Resolved that, whereas the rail-
road companies have asked for an
increased freight rate on farm
products from east of the noun
tains to coast points,
This club in regular session does
vigorously protest this increase in
rate for these reasons:
lst, Farming conditions are at
the present time such that the pres
rates are all the industry will bear,
and if newspaper comment can be
used as guide the railroads can
operate profitably under the pres.
ent rates.
md, Increasing rates as pro-
posed would be discrimination
against the farming industry of
Central Washington and would, as
sisted by the railroad interests.
prevent the farming industry of
Eastern Washington from enjoying
the advantages Of water transpor-
tati1n offered by our coast ports.

AUCTION SALE SERVICE
IS MAKING GOOD

Fruit growers all over the
country are much interested in
the new auction sales service
that has recently ben instituted.
, The following account of how
the new marketing plan is
working out is taken from Il
recent issue Of the Yakima
Herald:
Federal inspection of perish
able fruits and vegetables at
the point Of shipment has
brought in its wake an inten-
sive development in the market
ing world. Since the passage
of the bill fathered by John
w. Summers, congressman for
this district, two years ago,
marketing conditions have met
amorphosed to Il point where
producers of the far west and
south now offer their carload
shipments at the same moment
to bidders in all the larger.
cities of the east and north.
Sale by auction over telegraph,
the latest Improvement in the
methods of marketing, is of es-
pecial advantage to Yakima.
Yakima is one of 10 cities
in the United States advertised
as auction centers. Auction
concerns in Philadelphia, New
York, Boston, Cleveland, De
troit, Chicago, st. Louis, Kan
sas City, and Los Angeles are
all connected by a leased wire
with the National Auction com
pany in this city. The leased
wire serves instantaneously Gus
toners in the auction rooma
of each of the cities on the cir
cult.
Selling is Speedy
Because of the intense com
petition built up through ad-
vertisment of carload lots of
fruits and vegetables in 10
cities at the same moment, the
cars are sold at Il rate of one
each minute. Those who listen
in on the wire can visualize
bidders in every city on the
leased wire struggling to bid
against each other on a carioad
of Washington fruit which has
not left the sidetrack in Yakima
or Wenatchee.- AS many as 12G
cars of fruits and vegetables
have been sold in one day with
out the necessity of the buyers
seeing a sample Of the products
they have purchased. They
are satisfied with the fairness
of inspections made by repre-
of the federal depart
ment of agriculture.
Brokers Lose Commissions
Commissions collected by fruit
brokers have been decreased by
half since the institution of the
auction centers Of the nation.
lnnumerable other advantages
made realities through means
Of the sale by wire system has
proven that the advantages OF
FEDERAL inspection to the grow
RS are incalculable.
Representative Summers has
hundreds of letters
rom growers both in his con
,tituency and in other agricul-
-ural districts of the nation
,ommending him for framing
he bill which has resulted i'm
,uch revolution in the meth
IDS of marketing.

tEITER .ERVlCE fEXT SPRING

r. A. Moore, manager and
one of the owners of the Yaki-

over from Yakima on Friday
of last week. Mr.. Moore said
he was planning to put the

that he expected to make White

ROAD REVENUES
OF STATE LARGER
Receipts From Automobile License
Fees Will Top Estimates
BY Million

Experience of 1928 indicates the
highway fund revenue for the pres
ent biennium will far surpass the es-
innate made by state officials before
the legislature met. The receipts from
automobile license fees will run more
than 81 100000 above the estimate,
but the gasoline tax returns will not
come up to expectations.
When the highway revenues were
estimated it was expected the 2-cent
gasoline tax would become effective
early this year and therefore the 1928
revenues were estimated at 81 $780,
900. Instead, the 2-cent per gallon
tax will not take effect until JAM
uary /. However, on the 1-cent rate
the State received nearly $1,016,00O
for the first ten months. Next years
business is expected to exceed the es-
innate of 100000 made for it.
It was estimated $3,350,000 would
be received from automobile licenses
in 1923. The collections now exceed
1884, $50 being more than half
million dollars above the estimates.
AS the 1924 figures were set at 3d.
100000 it is expected the gain next
ear will be fully as large as in 1923.
The 1-mill tax levy of 1923 will add
approximately $1,124,000.
From all sources it was expected
$11 ,674, 900 would be received from the
State but already it is apparent this
is an underestimate.
Legislative appropriations and re-
appropriations were $10,673, 900 for
construction Of highways and $3,074.-
600 for maintenance and overhead. 1t
is easily within the possibilities that
this sum will be raised though it was
not believed possible eight or nine
months ago.

LIKE 18TH CENTURY EUROPE
Present-Day Map Would Be More Fa.
miliar to Louis xI Than to Met
ternich or Richelieu.

An age Of conquest having ended.
and its great actors having left the
world stage. young nations are coming
to the front. The world is resuming
the aspect it had before the era began.
Not the identical aspect, Of course:
for the expansion Of races-especially
the white and the black-and the ex-
termination Of certain peoples in the
new world make 1t impossible to re-
store in its entirety the fresco COW
cred by the whitewash Of centuries.
None the less, the political and terri
torial map Of the world today resem-
5les much more that of the Fifteenth
century than that of the Eighteenth or
Nineteenth century.
An accident? Not at all. What has
Europe achieved in the last hundred
years. as she has slowly pushed the
Turk out of the continent? She has
brought to light submerged nations
the Greeks. Serbs. Wallachians. Media
VANS. Albanians. Bulgarians. Europe
has labored and suffered to restore the
map of the Balkans approximately as
It was In the Middle Ages.
What have we tried to do In Bo-
hemia? To revive government and
a nation erased from political history
since 1920. What did we seek In Po-
land and In Lithuania? To rescue ma
lions submerged since 1772 and 1895.
Everywhere the people have de-
handed that the verdicts Of centuries
be reversed. and they have done this
50 successfully that we have a world
that would be far less familiar to
Taueyrand. Metternich, Richelieu or
4axarin than II would be to Louis N
or Charles v.-Paris Revue Bleue.

TO CONSIDER
APPLE MARKET
Meeting of All Interested in
Industry to Be Held in
Yakima in January

A meeting to get all of the inter-
ests connected with the apple grow
ing industry together in an effort
to solve the apple marketing problem
is to be called by Washington State
Chamber of Commerce and other or
CARNATIONS in Yakima January 16
and II, according to D.. o. Lively,
manager of the State Chamber. At
this meeting it is hoped to bring
about some system of marketing
which will eliminate the present dup
LEGATION of effort and make it pos
sible to maintain a standard price
for all apples of the Northwest
Not more than two speeches will
be billed for the entire program and
after the needs of some form of or
ganization have been outlined the re-
mainder of the two days will be spent
in committee work. Advance re-
search work is being done by experts
from Washington State College and it
is expected that it will be possible
to place comprehensive survey of
the situation befort the meeting.
That there has been great deal
of duplication in the marketing has
developed from consultation with a
number of shippers and growers who
ave found that apple buyers out
side make a practice of playing one
district against another to break
down the price. This same practice
was common in California in the
orange, nut and raisin industries un-
Il the growers and men handling the
crops got together and pooled their
interests in marketing organizations
which have developed new markets
in California products and through
combined advertising campaigns have
made those products world famous.
1t is hoped to be able to get away
from the costly practice of shipping
Northwest apples under large num-
Der of local brands. In this way it
will be possible to pool the advertis-
ing and publicity campaigns of the
entire district and put the North
west Apple on the market as the
worlds favorite fruit.

tured Saturday in a Riverside drive
apartment disguised as an old man,
and held for extradition to Baltimore

His counsel, informing the court
that de Roode had been a major In

the plea for his release pending the
arrival of extradition papers.
"As a gentleman and and a soldier my
client gives his word he will go back
to Baltimore and face his accusers,"
the lawyer said. He has already
returned $25.00 in cash and $4,000 In
bonds of the alleged larceny. and the
indictment only charges thefts of the
sum Of s6,300."
