Board Of Cooperative Asso-
citation Engages Him
For Another Year
HE WILL RECEIVE
LESS COMMISSION
Is to Be Paid One and Three
Quarters Per Cent on
Gross Receipts

Lee M. Lampson will manage the
sales business of the Three Rivers
Growers during 1924. After several
weeks of negotiations during which
time propositions from several SELL
ing associations were considered, the
directors of the local association have
reached an agreement with Mr..
Lampson and entered into contract
with him for another year.
Last year Mr.. Lampson received
a commission of 2A per cent on the
gross selling price of the three crops,
asparagus, strawberries and early po-
tatoes. His commission amounted to
$4,861. Next year he is to receive a
commission of one and three quarters
per cent on the gross receipts with
minimum guarantee of $4,000 but
in no case is his commission to ex-
ceed $500.
At present Mr.. Lampson is en-
ployed as secretary and assistant gen.
eral manager of the Northwest H0y
association with headquarters in Yak
lima. During the remainder of the
winter he has to make occasional
trips to Kennewick and devote some
time to enlarging the membership of
the local organization and to look af-
ter pre-marketing details. For this
work he is to receive no extra pay
but is to be allowed operation ex-
pense of his automobile. Under the
terms Of his contract he is to come
to Kennewick April / and devote his
entire time to the affairs of the as
sociation until the three crops have
been sold and the books closed.
Members of the board of directors
express satisfaction that Mr.. Lamp
son has been engaged for another
year. His services last year were high
ly satisfactory and he is personally
acquainted with the membership and
enjoys the confidence Of the growers.
1t is estimated that there will be a
substantial increase in bearing as
paragus acreage this year. There will
be but little increase in strawberry
acreage and it is doubtful if the crop
will be as large as that of last year.
No increase in early potato acreage
is looked for.

TO CONSIDER
APPLE PLANS
Meeting of Bankers and
Growers To Discuss Two
Marketing Schemes

A meeting of bankers from the ap-
pie growing districts is to be held
in Yakima January Is at the call of
Isaac ID. Hunt, vice president of the
Ladd e. Tilton Bank of Portland, to
discuss the financial phases Of the ap-
pie marketing situation in advance of
the meeting called by the Washington
State Chamber of Commerce for JAN
uary 16 and II. On the same day
growers from Yakima, Walla Walla.
Weiser, Idaho and Hood River, Ore
gon will. meet with committee of
growers from Wenatchee to discuss
the "Wenatchee Plan" for solving the
present marketing difficulties.
The decision to hold these prelimi-
nary discussions grew out of a meet
ing held in the office of the State
Chamber of Commerce in Seattle
January a, at which the "Hunt Plan"
and the "Wenatchee Plan" were dis
cussed by Isaac d. Hunt, Portland;
F. w. Schultz, president Of the Bank
of Cashmere; C. H. Howell, Of the
Seaboard National Bank Seattle; e.
d. Ginsinger, president of the We
natchee Commercial club and chair
man of the growers committee; S. o.
Pool and John Isenhart, Wenatchee
apple growers; and Roy Larsen. Che
Ian county agricultural agent.
1t was the opinion Of this meeting
that the proponents of the Wenatchee
plan were working toward the same
goal as the Hunt plan, but with diff
ferent preliminary steps which they
considered necessary through their
experience with the present apple
marketing machinery.
Word is coming into the office of
the State Chamber from apple grow
ers, marketing agencies and bankers
all over the three northwest states
that they are keenly interested in the
meeting and are planning to be pres
ent at Yakima and do their share
toward Strengthening out the present
apple marketing tangle.
Reduced rates on the certificate
plan have been granted by the rail-
roads for the Yakima meeting from
all points in the Northwest.

In Mondays Tribune was published
the paper Of Mrs. Jane Keeney Bum
garner which had been read on Sat
urday before the Great Falls League
of Women Voters.
Our people might with benefit read
the article although this would not
necessarily mean the acceptance Of
every opinion therein voiced.
OF course this article Is an en-
dorsement Of the old county unit sys-
tenn in toto and reiteration Of all the
advantages Of the system without any
mention Of its weaknesses or failures.
The fact that one school in Cascade
county has closed because Of lack Of
funds Is mentioned. This school hap
pens 10 be the Willow Greek school
district, one of the Oldest in the coun-
ty. This district once flourishing and
prosperous, has been curtailed. pared
down ansl carved up until only SEM
blance Of it's former grandeur remains
with an assessed valuation Of 5000
A fifty min tax would raise S1150
which is probably enough to make
competence when added to the gen
eral apportionment.
But in cases of this kind under the
present law there is q remedy which
often pride and local jealousies make
undesirable and this is to unite with
q neighboring school and run one
school instead Of two.

partment will attempt at the next leg.
islature to have q compulsory county
unit law passed. Believing as they do
this is their right. They may secure
its passage especially if the law is
made to apply again only to third
class districts, leaving the second and
first class districts exempt from its
provisions.
An attempt to pass law including
all school districts in the state would
Immediately provoke the antagonism
Of Representatives Of first and second
class districts, which are In the ma
jority.
So long as this affected only third
class districts these representatives
might be induced to vote for such a
law following the lines Of least re-
sistance. It is up to the third class
districts to be able to present the mat
ter to the legislators in such a way
that they will think the lines Of least
resistance lie in doing nothing.
Should the law read so as to include
all the districts Of the state or county
in a state unit or county unit this
paper viii use it's influence to secure
its enactment but should the proposed
law repeat the provisions Of the pres
ent law confining it's jurisdiction to
third class districts we shall do our
utmost to present the matter IN such
a light to the Legislators that they
viii strike out the enacting clause.
