AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS

/
People who are engaged in rails
ing farm products, grain, potatoes
fruit, beans and other crops, should
not store them in warehouses not IL
censed by the state of Idaho.
Warehouse companies should dis
play licenses in place in the OFFICE
where customer. can see that they
are operating under the bonded
warehouse act The intent OF this
storage warehouse act was to pro-
tect the producer from INSCRIPTIONS
men and warehouse firms not doing
safe business. ( Many losses to far
mers have been made in the past
years by Inefficient and unscruDu-
lous managers doing warehouse
business, as in many cases where
tickets for farm products were pre-
sented for delivery they did not have
the grain or other products to cover
the receipts.
Every farmer, before storing his
products, should see that the ware
house where he delivers his crop is
licensed under the state law. l find
that some people who are operating
warehouses claim they are not liza
BILE because they are not issuing ne
gotiable receipts. This is not the in
tent of the law. 1t was not intended
for people operating warehouses to
evade it. Whenever a storage ware
house company or individual operat-
ing warehouse receives the farm
ers produce through it's doors and
does not Immediately purchase the
same, he becomes a trustee of that
product it matters not what kind of
slip of paper he may give his custo-
mer for receipt. The obligation
and trust between them has imme-
diately been formed and anyone OPP
Grating warehouse without a Ii
cense is subject to fine of $50 per
day according to the warehouse law.
l would ask the farmers to send
the department OF agriculture infor-
nation when they find a warehouse
operating under this plan Most of
our warehousemen in the state. of
Idaho are licensed as they realize
they want to do business according
to law, and it is no handicap to any
warehouse firm, %but on the other
hand, it is a, benefit to build conf
depce with theik customers.

the return against cost price was lower

NEW RULES TO END
U. S. COURT DELAYS
Important Changes Made In
Method Of Transacting Bust
ness Throughout Country.

Washington.-Impo changes IL
rules for the transaction of business
in the Federal Courts throughout the
country, which are expected to speed
up the conduct Of trials, are outlined
in letters just sent to all Federal dis
trict judges by Chief Justice Taft.
The proposed changes were worked
out at the recent judicial conference
here Of senior circuit judges, who con-
sidered them vital as means of expe
diting the orderly transaction Of all
Federal litigation and preventing the
clogging of the court dockets.
Chief Justice Taft, as chairman of
the conference, in transmitting the
recommendations to the judges, ex
pressed the opinion that they would
contribute largely to "the practical dis
patch of business in the conduct Of
your court
To force prompt disposition of all
cases, the district judges are urged to
adopt rule providing that when any

but has not within one year, the coun.
sci and the parties to such proceed
ings shall be given notice Of the first
term of court following January
each year 80 days in advance Of its
opening, and If no action is taken
in such cases within that period OF
grace the court shall, upon opening
the term. enter an order of dismissal
The District Courts are urged to
adopt rule which would prevent the
continuance Of cases to another term
by agreement of counsel.
Other engagements of counsel should
not be accepted as a ground for con
tinuance, it is held, and no continu
ances should be allowed except for
good cause shown by affidavits, such
as sickness Of party or unavoidable
absence of an important witness.
1t is also suggested that the courts
at frequent intervals fix times for the
hearing of motions and the settlement
of issues. Postponement of matters on
such calls should not be permitted, the
conference agreed, except for causes
that would justify continuance of a
case set for trial.

URGE TRANSFER
OF DRY BUREAU
Taft Leads Senior Circuit Con.
ference In Asking Shift
To Justice.

Washington.-Bodi transfer OF the
prohibition unit from the Treasury
Department to the Department OF JUS
tice is among the recommendations
adopted by the judicial conference OF
senior circuit judges, it became known
when Chief Justice Taft, as chairman
Of the conference, addressed a letter
to Acknowledgement Stone transmit
ting a request that he embody the
proposal in his annual report to Con
gress.
The senior circuit judges, familiar
with court conditions and rejecting
the opinion Of Federal district judges
take the position that the transfer
should be made at once.
Basing their recommendation on
abundant experience with prosecutions
arising under the prohibition law, the
judges, with Chief Justice Taft concur
ring, declare that such a transfer
would make much for effectiveness in
enforcing that law"
In the statement Whlcn they ask 70
have transmitted to Congress the
judges asserted that "all the appropria
tions for such enforcement should be
expended under the direction of the
Attorney General"
In that way, they said, "the at
tempted prosecution of trivial, futile
and unimportant cases, which now
crowd the dockets through the Ill
| advised zeal and practical ignorance
Of prohibition agents, can be avoided
and only those cases taken up and
pressed which will really deter the
principal offenders and in the prepare
/ ton Of which district attorneys will
have a personal responsibility"

AIMS TO PROBE D
MILITARY STATUS
Butler will Demand Inquiry As
to. Treaty Promises
WANTS TO CLEAR UP RUMORS
Thinks Public Should Know Whether
Foreign Powers Are Cutting
Navies--Three Powers
Shtrk.

Washington.--The inquiry to deter
mine how the United States, Great
Britain, Japan, France and Italy are
living up to their disarmament obli-
cations under the Washington treaty
will be instigated by the House Naval
Affairs Committee.
Chairman Thomas S. Butler an
nounced that he would demand such
an investigation to clear up rumors
that some of the nations are not full
filling their promises to scrap and cut
down their big navies.
In statement, Butler said:
''In view of the discussion over the
observance Of treaty obligations made
during the Washington Conference on
Limitation of Armament, think the
public should be furnished with such
information as the authorities may
have.
"Some of it is already given the
House Naval Affairs Committee in re-
ply to statements made by William B
Shearer, naval expert, last spring.
II contemplate requesting the com
mittee to pursue the inquiry while
considering some measure like that
providing for reorganization Of the
naval reserve"
Reports have been current in Wash
ington for some time that three of the
signatory powers are failing to live UP
to their agreement, although the
treaty has been ratified by proper au
thorities and President Coolidge has
declared it in force.
Butler and those behind the inquiry
believe that if the facts now in pos
session of the Navy Department re
garding the rumors are made public
it will serve good purpose and make
the treaty more effective The United
States itself has been charged with
violation of the treaty by Great
Britain for contemplating raising its
gun elevation.
Progressives will back the investiga
ton if it ever comes to vote. Sena
tor George Norris, expressing the
sentiments of the Progressive group
says that he believes public interest
dictates publicity concerning the man
ner in which the treaty is being en-
forced.
Secretary of State Hughes is not op
posed to the contemplated investiga
ton, although he believes that all the
nations are carrying out their treaty
promises in good faith. He does not
expect international difficulties and be
lieves the investigation will quiet the
rumors and brand them as ill-founded
Indications are that the inquiry will
start soon after Congress reconvenes
The bill for reorganization of the
naval reserve already is before the
Naval Affairs Committee and the evi
dence could be divulged under Buffers
Ilplan during consideration of this
measure.
