Speculation as to possible effects of
the English fruit embargo has formed
the chief conversation of local apple
hipping interests this week.
On next season s crop all shipping
concerns will feel the effects of the
embargo. Dan Wuille & Co., London
apple merchants, who through their
Northwestern representative. A. E.
Woolpert, of White Salmon, purchased
150 cars last fall, locally, will be put
out of business.
Kenneth McKay, manager of the
Fruit Growers Exchange, thinks the
embargo should not be taken too seriously.
"We have not shipped any very
large amount of apples to England the
past year" said Mr McKay, "and if
we are shut off entirely it will perhaps
be a good thing, in that it will .stimu
late us toward working domestic mar
kets and creating a wider distribution
of fruit at home, a situation.that.l be
lieve we will find possible. .

GRANGE ULTIMATUM
TENDERED OFFICERS
Despite the different opinion of
local attorneys, the legislative com
mittee of the Pomona grange, who
urged the action, assert that Governor
Withycombe's veto of a bill regulating
salary of county officials will not
automatically increase the salaries of
the clerk and sheriff by the Bum oi
$200 each. In 1913 the legislature
nassed a local salary bill, allowing the
sum of $1,600 annually for both sheriff
and clerk. In 1914 the grange initiated
a bill, which was adopted, cutting the
salaries to $1,200 each. The question
was recently raised as to the legality
of the initiative bill, it having been
claimed bv attorneys that such an init
iative bin, to be operative, must nave
legislative confirmation.
Bolstering their declaration by the
an opinion of W. S. U Ken. the grange
ers say that the initiative bill does not
need legislative sanction. Mr. u Ken
in his onionion cites a decision in the
case of Olcott vs. Schubel, rendered by
the Supreme Court in 1912. Local at
tor ney s, however, say that Mr. U'Ren's
opinion is erroneous.
The grange committee embodied its
holdings in a formal announcement
given to local papers. The announce
ment concluded with an ultimatum to
county officers to accept the sum of
the initiative bill or resign from office
While the apparent predicament pre
cipitated by the request of the grang
ers and the srovernor's veto created
numerous smiles here Monday, Sheriff
Johnson and other officers declare that
they regret very much the governor s
action. Sheriff Johnson says that he
feels that the salary sums of the legis
lative bill were lair in every respect.

Whether the 130,000 boxes of Hood
River apples remaining here in storage
will be taxed .as personal property or
not rests with the State Tax Commis
sion, according to Jasper Wickham,
county assessor. It is argued by those
who have suggested that a tax be lev
ied on the fruit that the apples are
just as much personal property as
would be stocks or bonds in the hands
of the fruit growers.
fruit growers, however, hold that
the levy against the apples will make
a double taxation. They claim that
the value of orchard land is increased
according to the age of trees and that
the fruit was potentially assessed last
year. Returns from apples are rarely
ever distributed to growers until after
March L
Sales aeencv officials declare that
the levy of a tax on storage fruit
would be unjust and would be a penal
ty on growers not because of their own
fault, but because of their inability to
move the fruit on account of the short
age of cars. It is not thought the tax
will be applied to the storage fruit.
