SHRINE TO A BUREAU
Record.

The News has faint recollection of joint eff
fort on the part of Representatives Bulwinkle Of
North Carolina and Richards of South Carolina to
convert the Kings Mountain battle-ground into a
national park or memorial or something like that.
They appeared before commission of some sort,
but their request for federal funds was turned
down. The commission said something about Kings
Mountains not being major battle or something.
The commission was sorry, but it couldn't see its
way to do what was asked
But what couldn't be done for Kings Mountain
as national memorial is about to be done a
submarginal project. The interior department has
taken kindly to the idea and Ia, 900 acres in the
battle-ground area will be taken out of agriculture
and given over to recreation. Kings Mountain will
get recognition after ALL though whether it will be
more commemorative of the valor that prevailed in
1850 or the bureaucracy that predomnates in 1885
we would not care to say.-Charlotte News.

normal market price of his product Artl-
fetal stimulation raises prices only so long
as it is applied. When the processing taxes
are discontinued, artificial price raising
will stop-and the big question then will
be, Will prices continue high after artl-
fetal stimulation has ceased? Will not
prices drop as soon as the government quits
paving bonuses to producers?. 1t is certain
that they will, unless in the meantime
changes in conditions have resulted Whlcch

Processing taxes constitute one OF the
great burdens the country is bearing anu
one which the country would willingly
bear if there was reason to believe that
permanent adjustment of farm prices and
the solution of farm problems could be
found Through that course. AS it is clear
to all who have given any study to eco
nomicS that whatever relief is obtained IN
this way is only temporary and Will END
when processing taxes are dropped, the
entire plan is arousing more and more OBJ

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
POLITICAL ArTAcKs-AND THE INVESTOR

"a decline of nearly 40 per cent in the market
value of common stocks of sound public utility OPP
Grating companies has occurred since the October,
1892 levels" said John E. Zimmerman, president
of the United Gas Improvement Co., recently. "This
percentage Of decrease if applied to the five billion
of utility common stocks, represents loss to IN
vestors of nearly two billion dollars.
''The announcement of the Tennessee Valley
Project the heavy increase in utility taxation, the
publiczing of the IVA rate yardstick each
resulted in material decrease in the market value
of common stocks of operating companies. This is
all the more significant in that these decreases were
made even in the face of steady Improvement in
the sales of electricity"
A survey of utility financial reports indicates
that large number of important systems are to-
day selling more power-yet are earning less
money, and are suffering further decline in the
worth of their securities. On the hand, we are
bleeding the companies through taxes and special
charges, and on the other we are subjecting them
to bitter, unfair and uneconomic political attacks
A situation such as this, affecting industry
worth billions which gives employment to many
hundreds of thousands of workers, constitutes
grave threat to general industrial recovery.-The
Ashevie Advocate.

WINTER BANANA
PRICES DECREASE

Prices for Winter Banana apples
grown in Washington have been the
second highest during the last IL years,
sthe first being Delicious On the other
hand, Winter Bananas dropped 40
cents per box, or 80 per cent, between
the first six and the last six years OF
this period. This was a drop Of seven
cents per box more than all the other
varieties together although production
of this variety was declining.
This severe drop in price is due in
part to the tendency of growers to
pick Winter Bananas too early and to
market them before they are fully ripe,
Ssay Chester G.. Hampson of the Agrt-
cultural Experiment Station, State Col
lege of Washington, and r. B. Tootell
and w. M. Conner of the Federal Land
Bank Of Spokane, in report on the
economics of the apple industry In
central Washington which has just
come from the State College press.
The tendency to pick Winter Ba-
nanas too green is due to the compal>
atively high prices brought by the
early shipments.

FESTIVAL PARADE
MISSED OUR BAND

Returning late Saturday night from
the Wenatchee Apple Blossom Festival,
Princess Aileen Stoddard and Fred
English, Fred Gilhuly, Jr., George
Gilhuly and John James Keal, de-
clared that they had had grand time
and the or.y thing that kept the cele-
bration from being complete success
so far as they were concerned was the
absence of the White Bluffs Band.
But the band boys can take comfort
in the thought that another large
group of musicians the Okanogan
band, was also absent, and for the
same reason: mumps That the White
Bluffs Band was genuinely missed was
evidenced by an item in the Wenatchee
World concerning them.
This years celebration was distin-
guished by the longest parade yet to
be organized, three miles of floats and
marchers, and by the perfect array OF
blossoms Every apple tree was In full
bloom and it was estimated that a
minimum of twenty billion flowers per-
fumed the air.
One of the high spots of the parade
according to Mr.. English, was the ap-
pearance of group of Yakima peo-
pie. Their bustles and boards brought
roars of applause from the watchers
