As its lirsl legislative' act I hi' gov
ernor urged the enactment, for sub
mission to the pi ople at tile next ling
ular election of an amendment to the
constitution providing for ihe' recall
of judicial officers.
Will Insist on Recall
The message' called attention to the
fact that Arizona had voted favorably
on two occasions lo adopt ihe recall
oi' judges, and continued:
"Their wishes were set at naught
by a president's unwillingness to yield
a prejudice, bul they were secure In
the knowledge thai with statehood
once attained, and with tin- initiative
'it their command they would have it
in their hands to restore to the' con
stitution the power so rudely taken
away."
A draslie a nti-lolibv ing law. in con

EXPRESS RATES ON
CANNERY BERRIES
Public Utilties Commission Makes
a Ruling in Favor of the
Industry
Tho public utilities commission has
notified Hie railroads that they may
cut express rates on berries shipped to
the canneries within 100 miles-of
where the fruit is grown, aud advises
that such action be taken during the
berry season in order to expedite! the
shipment of the fruit, if possible.
The notifications were sent by the
commission after a conference with
several of the state's prominent berry
growers, who appeared and asked thnt
the rates be lowered during tbe heavy
season, slating that such action is ab
solutely necessary in order lhat fruit
may he canned before it has time to
spoil.
The communication to the railroads
is of an advisor.', nature and says the
reduced rates should be made In a
way not to conflict With the regular
tar iff.
"We hope you will eh. this, as it will
lie an Incentive to Ihe berrj raising
Industry iv the state," says ths letter
in conclusion.

THREE EXTRA MEN TO
BE HIRED AT ONCE
[Will Report to Both County and
State Officials and Bulletins Will
Be Issued Frequently for Bene
fit of Orchardists
There arc main evidences nt hand
to Indicate that the ei.univ commis
sioners and Ihe slate officials ale go
ing to co-operate in a rigid inspec
tion of fruit and orchards of this
part of the Yakima Valley. This was
made apparent .Moniluv vv lien T. (i.
Morrison, deputy horticultural ni
speclor under F. A. Huntley, state
horticultural commissioner, appeared
before the hoard and outlined a plan
that seemed to meet With general ap
proval.
II Is the' intention to at once put
three extra men at work to assist
Air. .Morrison. They will not only re
port to Commissioner Huntley, hut
will also make freciuent reports lo the
county commissioners, wiih tin- end
in vii'W that bulletins niayc be Issued
at frequent Intervals Tor the benefit
ol' the horticulturists uf this region.
Part ol' the- salary of these men will
he borne by the state and part by the
county.
Mr. Morrison stated thai his Work
oi' Inspection had been seriously
handicapped by the Jack of funds to
hire, assistance. He {said there were
_2 licensed niirseriesl in the. county,
and lhat the work oft Inspecting them
was a big Jot) in itself. Aeleleel lo
thai the Inspection or ihe thousands
of ac|*es 'it' ore-hards was enough to
keep a large force busy all the time.
The Washington Nursery, at Top
penish. the largest in th" state, has
gone so far as to hire i man there
at an expense' of $4 a day to see that
its outiiiii is properly Inspocted. The
result Is lhat nothing goes nut from
there lhat is not perfectly clean.
Seal, and blight are both reported
in some sections of the county, and
il is coming the- lime of the year now
when those evils must he eradicated.
Quick action is necessary.
it is intended that these assistants
to he hired will be able lo give good
advice to orchardists, and that I lie
bulletins, when published iv the
county press and circulated broad
