BENTON TELLS
OF NEW PLAN
A Bill That Adds Strength
To Banks and Nation
SEATTLE MEETING SET MARCH 16
1 With President Coolidge's signature to the McFadden banking bill,
nationally-chartered banks are surrounded with still greater safe­
guards and given a broader field of service and importance.
TThe Federal Reserve System likewise is given perpetual life—
Insuring the preservation of this great central organization which
has been the chief stabilizer of financial prosperity since its organ­
isation in 1913. This bank and all other national banks are thus
united for greatest strength and greatest helpfulness for the com­
munities served.
T'In thia Act are provisiona which open the way for the First
National to establish even closer financial relations with its cus­
tomers.

Selling Methods
We believe that it is of interest to growers to know
how their fruit is handling even though it is sold for
cash.
We are doing business with firms in this coun­
try we have sold to for years, and who will want
both Apples and Pears the coming season. They know
our brand and quality of fruit
I wish to announce to my friends and patrons
that we have moved next door, just west of our
old quarters, where we will be permanently lo­
cated. We will gladly welcome all of our friends
and customers here.
New stocks are arriving. My optical work
will be cared for as usual.
Ralph Laraway, my son, skilled in watch­
making and experienced through a lifetime train­
ing in the jewelry business, has taken active
management of the store.
You are always welcome
4
We are doing business directly by cable with
buyers in Europe, who buy with confidence having sold
our fruit for several years. Some of these buyers have
recommended us to others in new territory and we expect
so have increased calls for both Apples and Pears the
coming season. If interested in this method of selling,
we would like to talk to you.

It will be the aim of Pacific north­
west fruit shippers and apple growers
to stimulate Seattle's new and Increas­
ing slant on the problema of the back
country communities, according to C.
King Renton, who has represented the
luid-Colutubla apple dlatricta the past
several weeks in preliminary activity
looklug toward the organization of Pa­
cific north west wide grower and shipper
cooperative bodies.
“No one knows better than I, through
my activities three years ago In a sim­
ilar work, that Seattle at that time
failed to display the sympathy toward
the interior farm sections,” said Mr.
Renton at a chamber of commerce
luncheon Tuesday, “We plan on bold­
ing a final meeting, with committees
present from all apple growing sec­
tions, at Seattle on Friday, March 18.
We will then show the Beattie chamber,
the aid of which we are earnestly solic­
iting, that the demoralised conditions
of spple marketing have resulted In
demoralised trade conditions In the
towns of the hinterland."
Mr. Benton was recently at meetings
of growers and shippers in Yakima and
Wenatchee. Ha stated that the sentl-
ment for a bettd* coordination la evi­
denced everywhere. Meetings are now
being held throughout all Washington
apple growing communities. The pro­
pos'd new plan, he said, will be an
adaptation of varioua ones already
tried out among shippers of fresh
prunes in the Walla Walla, Wash., dis­
trict, growers of apricots and peaches
in California and the California vlne-
yardlsts. It is proposed to bring as
many growers of all districts together
as is possible. A corollary shippers'
organization will be formed. The ship­
pers will be asked to furnish records
to a central, neutral bureau. The fed­
eral government will be naked to aid in
the compilation and segregation of all
data eecured. Growers will be asked
in their contracts to sell their fruit
only to shipping concerns allied with
the corollary central ahippera’ agency.
Thue, Mr. Benton, believe«, the eiiiidA*-
tion of “in the dark" shipments will be
effected. Mr. Benton cited that at the
present time the Pacific northwest ap­
ple growers and shippers have no cen­
tralised aathority for the handling of
any of the many problema that affect
the industry and lie allied buslneesee.
The proposed new plan, be declared,
will in no wise disturb preaent selling
machines. If will, Mr. Benton said,
rather serve as an aid ia development
of sailing plana
Mr. Benton said that one of the ulti­
mate aims of the new organizations ia
the working out of some means of a
concerted apple advertising campaign.
Ail fruit districts will appoint com-
ipitteea of 15 men, selected one-third
from the business men, one-third from
apple grown and the remainder from
ahippera.
Mr. Benton expressed an apprecia­
tion for the aid given by the Portland
chamber of commerce to the solution of
apple marketing problems.
He said
that Tacoma and Spokane chambers
will be asked to aid in the coming cam­
paign for the central fruit marketing
organizations.
Teunls J. Wvers, reporting for the
credit bureau of the chamber, the other
members of which are H. O. Kresse
and R. C. Samuel, requested that all
merchants who are asked to give credit
to individuals ask for a day's time to
devote to the matter. The credit mer­
chants are then requested to get in
touch with mcmi>erH of the committee
or the secretary of the chamber and
seek information on the individual
Mr. Wyers said there la a need here
for greater cooperation in disseminat­
ing credit information.
Georfit- Y. Morrison entertained the
forum with a fantastic story, a sample
of those he tells bls troop of Boy
Scouts.
Guests Tuesday wore: J. G. Jarvis,
of Pine Grove; E. E. Berg, of Walla
Walla; R. F. Boothe, of Avalon Way;
W, L. McCutchen, of Underwood, Wn.,
member of the Skamania County cham­
ber, »nd Otto Ehrck, of Odell.
H. E. Bartmeas has made a remark­
able record in securing new members
for the chamber. Secretary Shoemaker
reported that Mr. Bartmesa had turned
in 33 new names the past week.
At an early date the forum will vote
on a proponed change of the luncheon

on the concert of tomorrow night.
Director Blmpoon aald:
‘The people of Hood River are going
to have an opportunity to show their
appredation of their band as well aa
to bear one of the best concerts ever
arranged by local talent
“The ‘treasure’ of the band is usual­
ly Its lowest note, and just aa a chain
is no stronger than its weakest link
a band can only give enjoyment to a
community that ia willing to support it
A campaign of soliciting or begging for
money is about the most disheartening
thing that can happen to any band.
Bands that are well supported by thdr
community are always willing to play
and boost the town in every way pos­
sible.
“Iowa was the first state to grant
the legal right to collect taxes for the
support of community bands.
It is
Interesting to find other states follow­
ing her example. It has been predicted
such a law will become general within
a few years.”

Warmth of regard between Japanese
and American orchardieta here waa re-
tlected Bunday in a banquet attended
by representa tlve buslneaa men of the
community, given at the Waukoma
hotel by Japanese In honor of their
consul, K. Mlduaawa, of Portland.
Thirty Jupaueae growers were present.
M. Yasui, merchant-orchardist, lead­
er of local Japanese, whose address In
Japanese was Interpreted by H. O.
Ball, local newspaper man who spent
13 years In the Orient, appealed to
Americans, school officials and ths
churches for their aid in establishing
children of Japanese parents born in
America a» American citizens. He bo­
gan his talk in a most humorous vein.
“I am made,” he said, “to think of
the Japanese boy, who met his unde.
He had been sent, as is a custom with
Japanese children, to carry a heavy
load of baggage a long distance. Japan
hasn’t had the roads and the motors
that you are so accustomed to In this
country. Japanese children are accus­
tomed to obey. The youngster set out
with the load. It grew heavier and
heavier, and he still had á long way
to go when he noticed a man approach­
ing. To his delight he saw it was his
uncle, and the latter, after he had ex­
plained the situation, took the burdea
and carried it to its destination.
“I felt like that Japanese boy. I
was hesitant about expressing myself
In English, and then I saw Mr. Ball
coming in the distance.
He ia my
uncle, my Uude Hugh. He’U interpret
fur me.”
Mr. Yasui dted that the Japanese
children, formerly of dual natlonallty,
are now American citlsena.
He de­
clared that Japanese colonista, al­
though they can never become natural-
laed, are endeavoring t>y every means
to live as good Americans and that
they are rearing their children In as
great measure as ta in their power to
assume the full burden of Americas
eitlsenship. Mr. Yasui petitioned that
Americans would not rear a color Une
and thus establish a barrier that W1U
prevent Japanese children from becom­
ing good Americans,
. > ■/'
, “The status of our chUdren as they
grow up,“ said Mr. Yasui, “is now a
source of apprehension to us parents.**
.. Mr. Yasui said that Japan, La agree­
ing to withdrawal from the Britteh-
Japaneae Alliance, in order to afford
an opportunity for America and Eng­
land to work better together for worn
peace, had ait lie a sacrifice. Ia the
pewMted h^betag «flowed to take>>h«Hr
stand along with America and England
in world affaire.
Consul Miduaawa, who waa accom­
panied by bla secretary, 8. Tlyama,
and Y. Mateul, secretary of the Japan­
ese association of Oregon, expressed
an appreciation for the hospitality and
straightforward honesty be bad found
among American people.
“I have found Americans open
minded,” said Mr. Miduaawa. “They
keep the open ear. The relations be­
tween the two peojilea in auch rom-
munition of Hood River have been
found by me to bo cordial
“One may hear it said sometimes
that commercial friction will arise be­
tween the two natloM. An analysis of
the situation, however, will show this
to be absurd.
America, becauae of
natural resource, will always find it
profitable to produce in quantities. Our
Industries of Japan will rather be the
manufacture of finer producta, a qual­
ity production, one requiring much
lal>or.
“We are neighbors, but with the Pa­
cific ocean betwien ua. We have no
territorial question or one of border­
land differences.
“The differences that have appeared
itetween America and Japan have re­
sulted from sentiment. Japanese did
not want to send more immigrants to
America. It was a question of honor
that caused the Japanese to do so much
talking about American immigration
laws it was the discrimination. Japan,
had she been placed on a par, a pro
rata basis with European nations,
could have sent only 100 immigrants to
America annually. Thia number la not
to be considered when it la learned
that the natural increase in population
In Japan is 700,000 annually.”
Mr. Miduaawa declared that Japan
and America are commercially Inter­
dependent and will grow more so. In
the past 10 years, bo said, Japanese
exports to America have come to be
third among the nations, and imports
fifth.
Compliments were paid the Japanese
residents of the valley by E. O. Blan-
char and B. C. Smith. Both cited that
the Japanese during every call during
war days had more than subscribed
their quotas. They had always car­
ried their part of community burdens.
“As a matter of warning,” said Mr.
Blanchar, “in order that the axe may
not fail too hard, I want to tell you
that It may be that wo will wage a
campaign for building a community
hospital this year. I know that we
will find you ready to do your part as
you have always done in the put.”
The Japanese spent the afternoon at
their community house west of tbs
city, viewing stereopticon slides of
their homeland, presented by tbe Jap-
anese association.
