PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Trade activity varies in the large
markets, but averages somewhat bet
ter than last month from Chicago
eastward, and is quite active i'm New
York and Pittsburgh. Prices on
most lines of produce continued
rather irregular, but changes since
mid-mOnth include some advances,
mostly small, for apples, cabbage.
celery, lettuce, caulifloWer, and to-
matOes. Potatoes, onions and sweet
potatoes are fairly steady.
CarlOt shipments average about
$500 per week day so far this month
and continue in steady volume, but
are about Is per cent below the same
time last year Movement of cabbage,
carrots, and many lines of southern
produce is larger than in the same
weeks year ago. The seasons to-
tai carlOt output of 30 lines of fruits
and vegetables is about 10 per cent
above that of last season to cOrre-
spending date.
Increased southern paintings indi-
cate continued liberal supply of mis-
cellaneous winter produce, if the
season is fairly good. Recent re-
ports show Florida growing cOndi- |
tlOns poor to fair, fair in Texas, and |
mostly favorable in California. Re-
cent weather has been too dry in the |
Gulf Coast region.
Unsettled Potato Market
The potato markets still hesitate
because of continued arrival of part
ly frozen stock. Considerable shrink
age is expected in storage holdings,
but full extent of losses cannot be
determined until the January re-
port. The arrival of poor lots has
dulled the demand in city markets,
despite light farm offerings and the
moderate recent shipments of about
500 cars daily from all sources.
Growers in western New York are
unwilling to sell at less than 81 per
lushel in bulk, and shippers find it
iihicult to fill orders at S5c to 9Oc.

NoU. 20, 1856 -'r

Citizens of the District Of Colurn-
bia are initiating a campaign to
secure the right Of franchise which
has always been denied them
through constitutional restriction.
1t was deemed best by the found
ers of the Nation that the residents
of the District of Columbia be dis
franchiSed, on the theory they
would exercise too great an influ-
ence upon the Federal Government.
an influence all out Of proportion
to their numbers. Likewise, it was
felt that the citizenry Of the dis
trict would always be forced to
favor the party in power.
Now, with a voting population in
excess of 100000, and paying an
nual taxes in excess Of seventeen
million dollars, the residents Of the
National Capital believe that they
have a right to voice in the selec.
tion of Federal officials. They be-
lieve they have a right to repre-
sentation in Congress.
General support will be found
for the contention of the Washing.
tonians, and if there is any chang.
ing of the Federal Constitution by
the people, an amendment grant
ing franchise to residents Of the
Capital certainly should be given
consideration.

Washington, D. c., has a popu.
lation of something over 5OO,OOO
but not a single permanent resi-
dent has the most elementary
right of American citizenship
the right to vote.
Now that the shouting and the
tumult's died, it will be harder
than ever to permeate the fog Of
apathy that descends on congress
whenever this subject is men
toned. The argument that Wash
ingtonians are taxed but not
represented, and that once a revo-
luton was fought on just that
situation, is not less good as an
argument now than it ever was.
But to congress, it's just an old
bromide.
The disfranchisement OF men
and women just because they are
in a position to know actually
what goes on in Government ad-
ministration strikes us as wholly
unjustifiable. And the argument
that they shouldn't vote because
they would think only Of their
self-interest is more than a little
hypo-critical. Who doesn't?
Residents of Washington have
been fighting this battle alone for
a long time. And congress, realiz-

nature, simply has refused to be
bothered. Perhaps a little pres
sure on our part can help Wash

When Congress convenes in

be the plea Of the residents of

Over 100000 men and women,

inalienable right which all Amer

Mrs. Garner and the v. P. by
Col. Edwin A. Halsey, secretary of
the Senate.
Mr.. Garner started right off In
his hearty bluff manner to make
both of these men feel at home.
Senator Smathers was just as
willing to let politics go by the
board for the moment and make
it a friendly visit all around.
"What kind Of fishing do You
like best?" the Senator asked
the v. p.
"BOth," was the instant reply.
After that they turned to hunt
ing. Senator Smathers told Mr.
Garner that his father was 81
years old, and was down in North
Carolina bear hunting. He said
that several years ago his father
had retired from his profession be.
cause he thought he was too old
but at 81 he still figured he was
young enough to hunt bear.
The mention Of North Carolina
reminded Mr.. Garner Of a letter
he had just received from Repre-
sentative Lindsay Warren Of thai
State.
Representative Warren had writ
ten to Mr.. Garner and invited hin
down. He told him they had geese
deer, bear, good fishing and fine
hunting.
81 just had to refuse because
his offer was too good for any
man." Mr.. Garner said.
AS they posed for picture ir
front of the American flag, Mr.
Garner told Senator Smather'
that he had another flag in hiE
office, the only flag that had evel
been made for a Vice President
Senator SmatherS had one point
to raise which might be consid
cred in the nature Of a complaint
But nothing serious mind you.
"I've got to sit on the Re-
The Washington times., 1936-12-15

publican side Of the chamber,
the Senator said.
ooh yes" replied the V. p,
"1 guess you have to sit in the
Cherokee Strip, but don't let
that worry you. I can see just
as well on that side Of the
chamber as 1 can on the other.
I'll know where my men are"
Colonel Halsey Strengthened the
matter out a little by explaining
that the new Senator was being
put on the Republican side some
what as a missionary so he could
make the minority see the light.
AS Senator Smathers was leav
ing he told the Vice President
that he wouldn't be in Washing
ton at the opening Of the United
States Senate because he is a
member of the New Jersey State
Senate. In that group the Demo.
Gratis only have a majority of one
and he has to stay to help organ
ize. His term there runs until
the end of next year. Mr.. Garner
