PiciuiuL ftxd SUMMARIZES THE WORLD'S WMttni KwnpMW Byrd in Battle Early of the bid fights scheduled the regular session of confrere is to be over the Presidents bill, which aims, reorganization among other things, at abolishing the office of comptroller general, popularly known as the "watch dog" on federal spending. This officer is the agent of congress in seeing that expenditures are made only in accordance with law. Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, one of the Democrats who insist on economy, projected himself into the battle over this measure early by Issuing a public statement in which he pointed out that the new auditor established in the measure would report to congress only after money had been spent and accounts settled. This would be like locking the stable after the horse is stolen. Senator Byrd declared. "This proposal to give the spending branch of the government a free hand with upwards of $8,000,000,000 a year strikes viciously at the vital elements of good government, good business and the general welfare. said the senator. "In the committee hearings," he continued, "the only complaint of consequence against the comptroller general was that this official at times delayed the quick spending of public money and compelled the department heads to show that the funds were to be disbursed in accordance with the laws enacted by congress. No proof, however, was given that any expenditure was prevented when authorized by congress and made legally." ONE Tax Load Is Heavy r'UT of every national income dol-- e lar In 1938, the tax collector wlU take 20 cents. This is the ratio which has been regarded as the danger signal. This is the declaration of s special committee of the United States Chamber of Commerce which has been studying taxation. The report estimates that the nation's tax load, federal, state and local, this year e will reach a new high of 1314 billion dollars. The national income, it is figured by the government, will be slightly less than the 69 billion dollar estimate for 1937. Tax collections for 1938 on the basis of tentative estimates made by the committee, include 6 billion 400 million dollars for the federal government and 7 billions 100 million dollars for state and local gov- ernments. Although the revenues for the federal government are estimated to e reach an high in 1938, there is doubt in congress that the budget can or will be balanced for the fiscal year beginning next July 1, the latest goal set by President Roosevelt.

It was he who selected General Pershing to command the A. E. F., and counseled him to keep the American army intact Mr. Baker was eminent as a lawyer and a close student of international affairs.

Paper to rt Address . t Typical Scene of Well --Graded and Uniformly Fucked Fruit In the Display Room of the Detroit Fruit Auction. DETROIT, MICH. Selling fruit through auction Is one of the chief contributing factors to better grading and the constant improvement In packing of citrus and deciduous fruit shipments to major markets, according to Frank N. Isbey, president of the Detroit Fruit Auction Co. "Unlike buying fruit under any other method of sale, the entire shipments are displayed, both in opened and unopened boxes, to buyers in the warehouses of the ten auction markets comprising the American Fruit and Produce Auction Association," said Mr. Isbey. With all buyers In a given market gathering in me place to do their purchasing, they, invariably exchange opinions concerning the satisfactory, or unsatisfactory, grades of fruit and their containers. Tha reaction of the buyers, be it favorable or otherwise, is very quickly registered In the auction. Fruit that ia consistently graded, packed and offered through auction naturally makes a favorable impression upon the buyers, and thus establishes a regular demand. Unfavorable impressions of these essentials for , successful marketing serve directly In Influencing the Improvement in grading and packaging of any shipments that are below standard. Likewise, if and when any grower or shipper in any section of the country ships immature fruit which ia neither tasty nor palatable, such shipments invariably have an unfavorable effect upon the market and auction officials are 'quick to discourage further shipments to the consumers. This, too, is only possible through the concentrated and concerted reaction me gets in an auction warehouse. In short, auc-- 1 tion warehouses afford the simple method of comparisons which serve to bring about improvements in grading and packing of fruits, so that not only will the consuming public receive the best, but the growers and shippers will obtain the highest possible prices for their products. Summarized, the same condition prevails in fruit marketing ac in any other Industry in that it to the opinion of many rather than of me that creates situations which result in Improvement. Improvement, In turn, benefits the grower, buyer, retailer and consumer, alike." i Tells Fruit Shippers How to Obtain Best Returns on Their Products CI.RV ELAND, O.Oitrua and deciduous fruits that era shipped to be marketed through auction, should bo attrac- tively packed, uniformly graded and consistently offered to obtain beat results for growen or shippers, H.
