HERE BUT z DAYS

Butler Wright. third assistant secre-
tary of state. has been designated by
the State Department to meet former
Premier David Lloyd George on his
arrival at New York Friday on the
liner Mauretania. Mr.. Wright will
represent President Coolidge. and, in
addition. Secretary Davis. a former
countryman of Mr.. Lloyd George, will
be present.
The itinerary of the former prime
minister calls for a month of travel
in North America. which will take him
over a large portion of the United
States and Canada. Frequent public
meetings, which he will attend on both
sides of the international border. will
be, in many cases, under the auspices
Two days are to be spent in Washing
ton, but on account of the period of
mourning for the late President Hard

will take place.

will go directly to Montreal for a
two-day stay. The balance of the

Steps to be taken by the British
embassy or its officials in the recep-
tion of Mr.. Lloyd George in Wash
ington have not been determined, il
is understood. because the details of
his program here have not been COM
pleted. Sir Alfred Cope, who has
been here with the view of prepar-
ing the program, has called at the
embassy, however, and discussed the
forthcoming visit.
Because Of the absence in England
of Ambassador Geddes, the embassy
building is officially closed to all
functions and, therefore, it is be-
lieved that If any reception or dinner
is arranged for the former premier
it will be at the r steet home of
Henry Getty Chiffon, charge daft

COOLIDGE RECEIVES
OFFICIAL CALLERS
D. c. Recorder of Deeds
Among Those in
Conference.

Arthur Froe, recorder of deeds of
the District of Columbia, whose Office
is seeking more adequate housing
facilities, discussed official business"
with President Coolidge at the White
House today.
While the nature of the business
was not disclosed, it was assumed
that the recorder stressed the fact
that present quarters of the recorder
of deeds are entirely inadequate. and
that because of lack of facilities and
the great amount of business the
work of the office is practically
year behind.
A new building is urgently needed,
and Mr.. Froe has recommended this
TO Congress and other officials of the
government.

publicans in that state was par

talking of no one except President
Coolidge as the nominee of the party
next year.
"He has the confidence of all classes
in the state said MIR. Taylor. The
democrats, as well as republicans,
regard him highly and have faith

TRAIN SERVICE

NEXT Monday the Northern Pacific
~ will take off our best mail train.
Competition of bus service and priv
ate automobiles is admitted to be the
cause of the poor business which
caused the annulment.
No one can blame the railroad for
reducing service when the receipts
fall below the expenditures. Nor can
we expect the railroads to make rates
or give service that will compete
with the busses. The railroads have to
build their own roads and maintain
them. The taxpayers build road for
the use of the bus driver and mintain
it for him, free of charge. The rail-
road pays taxes on its road and equip
ment The bus owner pays taxes only
on his equipment.
1t all comes out of the people any
way and is just a question of what
is the most economical. When we
cause losses to the railroads they give
poorer passenger service or charge
more for their freight hauling-or
both

TAKING THE TIDE

nHERE'S a tide in the affairs of
i communities as we'll as of men
"that taken at the flood on to for
4that taken at the flood leads on to
fortune. Such tide is now rolling In
over the Pacific Northwest.
A few years hence we will look back
ON 1928 as marking the opening of
one of the great epochs in the history
of this region. On every hand there
is marshaling of resources mob
ilization of every factor that can
make for development and progress.
It is significant that in Seattle,
where the heartbeats of this virile
state can be felt perhaps most plainly,
there has been such revival of the
civic spirit as has not been exper-
fenced in years. Through every ave-
nue. of expression, its people are voic-
ing their confidence in the coming
prosperity-not only through the press
and by word of mouth, but by build
ing substantially to meet the expected
demand.
Our own city must not lag behind
not fail to ride the crest of
this wave to the larger and better
things the future has in store. The
time has come to put aside petty
things and to throw the united force
of every factor in our community
into the preparation for the period
of development just ahead.

PUT 1T IN WRITING

lVXIHEN is a commission merchant
Vvnot commission merchant! This
! is the question which seems to have
caused most of the growers market
! ing complaints, not only this year
but in other years.
When a commission merchant takes
growers products and agrees to get
him at least so much per package,
less handling charges, he becomes
buyer with minimum price named.
That is, he either becomes a buyer
or he doesn't intend to live up to his
promises. If in his dealings with the
grower the commission merchant
names a minimum price he is under
obligation to pay that price regard
less of the fact that the fruit went
bad in transit or the market went
to pieces before the produce arrived
at the selling point.
If the records of the commissions
houses who have operated one-year
stands in Kennewick were made, it
would be found that the methods
of all have been pretty much the
same. The local manager, up until
the time he received the farmers
produce was a postmaster at the art
of making promises, thereafter he be-
came champion buck-passer. Appar-
emily his responsibility was shifted
to the head offices in Spokane, We
natchee, Chicago, New York or some
other place and maybe the farmer
got his money and maybe he didn't.
There has been, and still is, far too
much of this loose promise stuff at
this end and delayed fulfillment bust
ness at the other end.
There is one way to head off lot
of the regrets which pile up after
each marketing season. Require these
professional promisers to talk on pap
er. If every Independent grower
would refuse to deliver box of fruit
except for cash on delivery or upon
written contract setting forth the
price to, be paid, whether in full or
on guarantee basis) and the time
and terms of payment, the settlement
end of the marketing game would be
greatly simplified and promises would
be handled more carefully.
No legitimate operator could valid
ly object to doing business upon this
basis. For if an operator fully in
tends to make good on his promises
he can have no reasonable grounds for
refusing to put those promises in writ
ing. If he doesn't intend to make
good he is not entitled to any bust
ness.
By going ahead with the plan
adopted last year, the Commercial
club can render the grower valuable
assistance. From each new fruit con-
Germ which establishes itself here, the
Club can secure financial statement
to determine its reliability. 1t can go
furthur and require that the head
office put itself on record to the eff
feet that the local manager is its Of
fetal representative and it is willing

THE STATE FAIR

A S is the case each year at this sea-
As son the question of continuing or
abandoning the State fair at Yakima,
is live one. Newspaper sentiment
seems to be in favor of abandoning.
The Chehalis Bee-Nuggett says:
Some of the papers in the state,
particularly some of those published
in eastern Washington, urge that the
state pay more attention to the State
fair at Yakima, through its legisla-
ture, and help make the State fair at
Yakima bigger success. Instead of
the state paying more money for the
State fair, so far as legislative appro-
priation for fairs is concerned.
Judging from the experience the
Southern Washington fair has passed
through, it is handicap to lean on
state appropriations for fairs instead
of an advantage. Some of the fair en-
thusiasts around this section were
hostile when the state fair went out
Of business here, but it really proved
a blessing. Local people buckled on
their fighting clothes, got busy, and
now we have fair equal to any in
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. state appro-
priations. Our attendance greatly ex-
ceeded the state fair, and the Puyal-
lup fair attendance exceeded both.
/ The tendency always is to take things
easy when we leah on others, and
the Yakima fair will be a bigger
and better fair when the people over
there quit looking to the taxpayers
of the state to finance their fair, ac-
cept the responsibility themselves and
buckle down to cooperative work
among themselves. There is no rea-
son why the Yakima fair should not
be as big as and interesting as any
fair in the northwest, and we know
the people of that section have the
ability and energy to make it so. 1t
will be so if the people in that sec
ton of the state will it. But we think
it is about time for the state to go out
of the fair business, and quit spending
the taxpayers money that way.
The Courier-Reporter agrees with
the Bee-Nugget. From the standpoint
OF being truly representative of the
state, the State fair has been a Joke.
Not more than a dozen of the thirty
in the exhibits and the attendance is
in the exhibits and the attendance
not from the state at large but al
most exclusively from the Yakima
valley.
There is no reason why, as the Bee
Nugget says the people of the Yaki-
ma Valley cannot put on a fair each
year that will be a hummer and one
that will be leader in the procession
of fairs and not trailer as is the tax
supported Institution.
True if the state appropriation were
cut off there would be one less horse
to trade in the legislature and one
more chance to have legislation on its
merits.

o stand back of any contracts he may

to stand back of any contracts he may
make.
IF the club will do this and the
grower will refuse to do business with
those who do not furnish a financial
statement and vouch for their local
managers, and if the grower will hang
onto his fruit either until he gets the
money or written contract there
will not be so many heartaches at the
end of the season.
If this plan is adopted and followed
there will be fewer growers lured
away from the cooperative agencies,
from the real cash buyers, and from
reliable commission firms who do bus
mess only as such and furnish the
grower vehicle for taking chances
on the ups and downs of the market.
