strelct each subordinate Grange
Master to select a committee OF
three. Let the subordinate Grange
committees catalog and arrange
production figures for all agricul-
t,ral products for a period of five
or ten years to determine the aver
age market prices ON these products.
Let the subordinate Grange COM
nittees report their findings to the
Pomona committee. This commit
would verify and tabulateSs the fig
,lres and endeavor to reach accord
in the matter of fixing upon min
itnum price for these products which
would permit the raiser to make a
worthy profit. Having done this
work, the committees then would
select one member from each COM
mtttee to attend a statewide con-
ference Of these committeeman
The conference would tabulate and
put in order the figures for the en-
tire state and enlbody them in a
resolution to the State Grange, to-
getl1er with its draft of legislative
bill to put the prices fixed into law
The State Grange having approved,
the legislative bill, in conjunction
with similar bills from the other
states of the Union, would be pre-
sented to Congress for action.
Should Congress act favorably, the
prices so fixed would present an e.
quitable solution to agricultural
difficulties"
Natural results of such action
would be the formation of state and
county sales and purchase organi-
cations, in order that each agricul-
turist should receive his pro rata
share of the benefits. B. TRIO

TROMANHAUSER SUGGESTS
PLAN FOR AGRICULTURAL
ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE

The following article was dictated
to the editor of the Spokesman by
J. B. Iromanhauser, White Bluffs
agriculturist whose hobby is coop
erative effort:
Believing, as I do, that, since ag-
riculture is the base on which all
industry depends, that it should be
independent and its votaries the
most successful of the worlds work
ers. and conceiving the principal
fault of agriculture's present lowly
position to be low prices for agri-
cultural products. I have conceived
plan to quickly remedy the STU
tion. Since I am no lawyer, CAN
not guarantee the constitutionality
of the plan. but believe, if it can be
put into practice, that it will do all
we hope from such measures"

RICHLAND CONQUERED IN
CLOSE GAME

The local cagers were victorious
in very close contest with the
Richland team, Wednesday evening.
The game was close the entire
length of the game and at no time
did either team attain a lead of
more than three points. Their play
melted them few points, as the gym
was small and the plays could not
be worked with any precision. With
one last attempt, the Orange and
Black secured field goal by Bill
Meek and, by considerable staaling,
won the game by a Is to "a score.

EDITORIAL

Now that spring is here 1--WE hope)
the students will become more and
more restless. OF course, this rest
lessness is natural. for they have
faithfully come to school for the
last six months.
The Seniors are becoming excit-
ed tbut hope they won't admit IT'D
about becoming graduates 5of our
high school, and perhaps they are
feeling a little bad for having to
leave it. The Juniors are thinking
of the preparations necessary for
the leaving of the Seniors. Now the
Sophomores are about to become
upperclassn1e11 But what of the
Freshmen? Well. they feel that
they will have the privilege Of init
ating the Fresh to-be.
We now give the basketball team
our best wishes and the whole school
is pulling for them to win at Ken
Friday and Saturday Boys,
we earnestly hope that you will rep
resent this district at Yakima. Now
boys, get in and fight! Show your
opponents that you have the 'sstuff"
it takes to be the best. We of the
school believe that we have every
right to be proud of you. Prove it!
Yea team! Rah Rah!

'sF The editor of the Spokesman does
not wish his readers to assume that

with articles written by others and
given publicity in these pages. For

taken by young Mr., Salvini, who
SO ably defends the New Deal atti-
tude in asking control of the SUI
preme Court. We have only to
point out that the president DOES
propose to PACK the Supreme
Court for political purposes and to
call your attention to the fact that
the best government evolves from
countries where a strong minority is
able to make its influence felt and
where competition makes good gov

situation reveals an administration,
Intoxicated by public approval, ems
deavoring to take the last brake off
of the car of state. With no brakes
and with even the best of motives,
that car is very apt to be u11stop
pa.ble short of a crash that means
destruction. We believe in minori-
ties-strong ones-and we are APP
prehensive whenever amy party
gains too complete a victory. And
we still maintain that the Presi-
dents proposal is shamefully selfish
and absolutely contrary to indepen-
dence in government. There are
always those who believe in regi-
mentation and in the idyllic lot of
the employed, but we believe in the
free stimulation of enterprise by
an unregirnented government; we
believe that there can be no excuse

 But Stefansson said he was sev- eral hundred miles from land and his diary of his journey shows this. Morever, he said he and his men never lacked meat. He didn't go within many miles of the Pole, but he argued that condition at the Pole were little different from those he experienced over the ice between northrn Alaska and far distant point in northern Canada to which he and his men travelled .s That is one reason he believes the Russians will not starve.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1937
 This should be fairly lucky day, according to astrology. Speculation may tempt many, for the stock market may be of special interest.
 The morning hours are auspic- 1 ious for dealings with bankers or financiers. It is a fortunate date for the payment of debts.
 Care in liquidating property val ues and other personal assets is enioined by astrologers who fore tell sudden fluctuations in stocks and odd crises in money values. | There is sign read as indica- tive of selfishness in high places in the world of achievement. In- trigue and secrecy may bring big gains for few.
 The seers who long have stressed the announcement that the new era will cause old ideals and old cus- toms to vanish now emphasize the need of accepting changes philo- sophically.
 Persons past middle age should withhold criticism of modern meth ods of statecraft and business since the pattern of world interests has been permanently altered.
 Women should be lucky today which is fortunate for home enter taining. shopping and househunt- ing Rentals will continue to rise in many cities, it is forecast. Girls may confidently expect much romance before the new year. Suitors will be many, because sen timent is stimulated by dangers to life through war possibilities.
 Men and women whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of unsettled conditions which bring about changes good and bad, Thrift and foresight will assure good luck
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intelligent and fond of study. Subjects of this sign should build up strong bodies.
 Franklin Sumner Earle, botanist and agriculturist, was born on this day 1856 Others who have cele- brated it as a birthday include Dan iel H. Burnham, architect, 1o46; Phoebe Cary, poet, 1924.

MT David Lloyd George insists Lord Feels partition scheme is "a betrayal of l60O0Oo0 Jews" Certainly it is not consistent with the Bal four declaration as usually interpreted. But the plan might with equal correctness be called betrayal of fully as many Arabs For it would deprive them of the most fertile and valuable of country which they have inhabited almost exclusively for many centuries.

FUTURE BRIGHT FOR ALASKAS
 BIGGEST INDUSTRY

Alaska's 1887 salmon pack is going to be Tn the neighborhood of 65O000O cases. It may exceed tha' figure slightly it is indicated in reports of the Bureau of Fisheries It is a good year Not, of course, as large pack as last season when in excess of 8OOOooC cases were put up but such pack can not be ex- peced every year The history of the salmon fisheries is one of cycles revealing that big do not come in rotation.
 In 1884 when 725O,OOO cases were put up it was record to that time It generally considered to be just about peak. Yet two years later that peak was pushed up to more than 8000000 cases. It is very possible that in the next few seasons even that large figure will be exceeded
 There is sound reason to believe that it will when enc considers the general progressive and intelligent policy under which the fisheries handled An idea of that policy can be found in recent address of Daniel C. Roper, Secretary of Commerce, who, n commenting on the Bureau of Fisheries which comes under the jurisdiction of the Department of Com merce, said
 Its functions are vastly broader than the
 mere operation of fish hatcheries throughout
 the country. Continuous research is necessary
 to conserve this great national resource, to
 enhance the opportunities of sportsmen, in-
 crease and improve the supply for the con-
