THE FLAT 8ALARY DILL.

' Tho Journal says, without hesita

gogy of the most dnugerous character,
and the Democrats were nil guilty of
it as tho Republicans.
Senator Pierce, of Umntllln, ox

In 1907. In that ho was right, and
thoso who resortod to technicalities
to kill tho bill havo a day of reckon

Almost nny flat salary bill is loss
unconstitutional than tho prosent ays

tion nnd violation of Uie terms of tho
salary clause of the constitution,
which says tho stato officials shall re

gentlemen do bind most lightly. Thelt

It Is claimed that the Harrlman

THE FRUIT GROWERS.
Should Meet To Discuss Packing and
Shipping.
Editor Journal.
I havo ,boen thinking that it
would bo advlsablo for tlio mombora
of tho Salem Fruit Growers Union or
Socloty and others who, are practical
fruit growers, In this city, to hold a
mooting soon as thoro aro many
quostlons of much lntorest to the
practical fruit growors thnt might bo
dlscusnod vory profitably by th-m.
Thoro aro othor quostlons concerning
fruit growing asldo from tho disposal
of our fruits that aro of groat Inter
03t to tho growor. For on Instance
tho selection of tho host varlotlos to
plant and how to plant and cultivate

will admit of much lntolllgont discus
sion and in an Intorchnnge of vlows
on theso subjects wo can nil gain
much valuable Information.
If we can profit from the oxpor
lenco and observation of other fruit
growers, we cortalnly aro galnors to
that oxtont, rather than to go
through the ejcporlonce ourselves. The
past soison has boon a vory profltablo
ono to the fruit growers gonornlly,
and especially to thoso who have
made propor effort and application to
their business nnd I think that we can
well afford the tlmo to como togethor
and discuss questions that lnterost all
of us, and from isuch discussion ve
would dorlvo much benefit, If from no
other fcaturo than from a social
stand point. Wo can woll afford, to
havo thoso moctlngs and through 'sor
clal Interchange!! bocomo bottor ac
quainted. Wo don't want to become
solflsh and llvo ontlroly for ounaolvos,
but meet togethor and mlnglo with
our frlonds and nolghbors and make
tho most of life. Not wishing to cast
aany bouquota at mysolf I will von
turo tho assortlon that tho fruit
growora gonorally speaking, aro
about as lntolllgont e. clans of cltlzons
as we havo, and thoro is no rooson
why whon we hold a mooting and
como togothor, that by tho discussion
of tho questions that intorost thorn
thoy should make the meetings of
groat lntorest to all present. The
man who haa theonorgy and determ
ination to delve into Mothor Earth
and bocomo producer and thoroby
oar n a Uvlhood deserves much credit
for his offorts as there- Is no more
liQiiorablo vocation.
The great Lord evidently Intended
that man should through either phy
sical or mental effort or both become
a producer and In reality "eat his
bread by the sweat of his face," and
not beeome a parasito upon the earth
and prey upon the producer. Know
ing Mr. Editor that you are a practi
cal trult grower and at present pres
ident of the Fruit Grower's Union or
Socloty and earnestly interested In
the mucosas of tho fruit growers and
our society and believing that you
will coincide with me in regard to
the advisability of holding the meet
ings as suggested and if )ou think it
worth while you may through the col
umn3 of the Journal submit this let
ter for the consideration of other
fruit growers,
I wish. In this connection to say that
wq we.ro greatly favored by the oltj
authorities of Salem, last spring and
summer by tha free use of the Tollce
Ayers
Court room nt tho city hall for tho
nurpcuo of holding our meetings, and
I foel that our socloty Is ospoclally
undor obligations to Judge Judah for
tho many favors shown u, whlcli
woro greatly appreciated.
