These officers for the ensuing year wnre
elected yesterday morning by the directors
of the National Horticultural congress.
The election of all the new officers was
unanimous.
Following the election of officers John
P. Cummings, accredited delegate from the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce, addressed
the board relative to holding the fruit show
In 1910 In Spokane. He said:
Spokane Is with you f.rst, lust and al
ways. Wo wanted ta have the next meet
ing held In Spokane tn connectl n with the
Nation il Irrigation enngrtss and the Inter
state fair, which will be In session there
October 2-7, 1909. but as you have decided
to have It here next year, a'l I have to say
Is that we are with you. We want It then
for 1910. I have been Instructed bv the
Bpokano Chamoer of Commerce to give II
word of honor that If you will take the 1910
meeting of the National Horticultural con
gre.'S to Spokane we will send It back to
Council Bluffs the following year. We will
have thousands of dollars to spend adver
tising the west st' eastern fairs, and as
fruit Is the greatest asset the state of
Washington has most of our appropriation
w ll bo spent at the Nat'onal Horticultu al
congress. Let me sy thin that you havs
exhibits here from onlv one or two of the
fifty fruit districts cf Washington t Is year,
but you will see them all here n xt year.
Those who are hero from our state are
mightily pleased with the way they have
been treat t, and you will see them all here
again.
The newly elected board of director will
meet Friday evening In the rooms of the
Commercial club for the purpose of trans
ai ting the closing business of the 1909 meet
ing of tho congress. ,
German Delegate Talks.
Tho feature of tho morning program at
the National Horticultural congress yester
day was an address by Herr Nikola Kau
manns, agricultural commissioner from the
German empire to the United States. Hcrr
Kaumanns visited the fruit show as the
guest of Rev. Father Herman, pastor of
8t. Peter's church.
In Introducing the distinguished visitor
from Germany, Father Herman said In
part:
You probably dn not know that Germany
is the only country on earth which sends
a special commissioner of agriculture to
ttie United States. And the office of this
commlKsloner Is to study the methods of
ngrlculture in the United States, and a'
the aamo time teach us some things ir
rcpara to agriculture.
If you ask me What special studies h
makes, I can tell you that he tries t
study everything that pertains to sgrlcul
tore. He studies, not only our spples, on
orchards, he also studies everything abou
our corn, and. In fact, about all ou:
products of agriculture. He studies ou-
animals, especially our milch cows. An
he has told me that the products of ou
cows are first rate everywhere In the
country, except, sometimes. In our cities
Mr. Kallmann la Imperial commissioner
He Is a man who knows, so to say, every
thing about our farms, and about all out
products, all our' experts, etc.
Herr Kaumanns, after referring to the
National Corn exposition In Omaha, said In
part:
We admire 1n the old world the gigantic
development of American fruit culture, and
I made fruit culture mv special study dur
ing my stay of a year and a half In the
United States. It Is especially fruit cul
ture and the raising of vegetables In the
United States which shows us haw much
a horticulturist can accomplish by his un
tiring work and ftialnnate talents for
commerce.
Fruit Is of the greatest Importance. Corn
has made many a rich man richer, but
horticulture has enriched thousands of
poor families and more than any culture
will fruit also In the future be the thing
for the poor man. And gentlemen, you
have to reckon with thla The strength of
a oountry lies, not to the riches of a few
Individuals, but In the well being of the
middleman, and these are the small farm
ers. Corn In this country Is considered the
king of all farm products, and It Is so on
account of Its yielding such Immense finan
cial results.' But fruit will Increase and
surely conquer the market, not alone In
the United States, but In all the world. It
serves as a food for man, not only In tho
United States, but also In the world. As
a proof of this I only mention thst last
year your exports to Europe alone were
1.3K7.278 barrels of apples, valued at 14. 8.14..
104. Now, gentleman, you are fruit growers
on a broad, commercial basis. Tou raise
I wonderful fruit
j Fruit is to become, more and more, a
Hence, you must raise more fruit so that
the price of fruit will become less In the
future. In order to accomplish this you
will ha 'e to plant more trees, but espe
cially to battle against the great enemies
of fruit culture, as, for Instance, the San
Jose scale, in tills respect I wish to tell
you that precautionary measures are an
absolute necessity. Do not wait until these
enemies have taken possession of your or
chards. Gentlemen, I admire your nice and tasty
exposition in this beautiful building. The
whole arrangement shows and proves to
me that the leaders and Inaugurators of
this unique exposition have dune their duty
and I congratulate them upon their suc
cess. Prlaro of Apple.
"The roost valuable apple ever Intro
duced," la the way Hon. Q. B. Brackett,
United States pomologlst and probably the
higheat authority on applea tn tho world,
has characterised a magnificent big variety
of apple being exhibited at th National
Horticultural congress.
Tho nane of thla remarkable fruit Is
appropriately, "Delicious," and th hungry
i " . . ' . iwii ivi ( 1 1 a wul,ii mi i a i k t.
hordes who linger over the booth longing
for a taat of one of the enticing specimens,
have given their approval to the name.
As this apple was orlginsted In Madison
county, Iowa, by the late 9t A. Htatt, It Is
of peculiar Interest to orchardlata In this
section. It Is safe to say that when local
grower awaken to Its possibilities the
"Delicious" will be the main apple of these
states. It Is well adapted to the climate,
and Its value aa a profit-maker exceeds
anything grown In this section. The yield
Is large and perfect, and th fruit surpasses
In flsvor and appearance any apple ever
raised.
A. B. Howell, representing the Stark
Brothers' Nursery and Orchard company of
Louisiana, Mo., sole owners of the strain
and of the trademark name "Delicious," 1
taking personal charge of the Introduction
of this wonderful apple to orchardlsts vis
iting the show, and Is enthusiastic over the
prospects of Its great future.
"Every authority who has tested the
'Delicious' has pronounced It perfect," said
Mr. Howell, "and I am sure Nebraska and
Iowa growers will soon realise Us possi
bilities." A visit to see these handsome specimens
of .this great apple Is well w.orth anyone'
time.
At the same booth Stark Brothers are also
showing the "King David," the only seed
ling of the -Jonathan they are now propa
gating, and an offspring that far excels It
j arent; the "Champion," the longest keep
ing apple known and a very young bearer;
the "Senator." "Ben Hur," "Winter
Banana" and "Stayman's Wine Sap," a
seedling originated by the late Dr. Stayman
of Topeka, Kan.
No specimens have been entered for pre
miums by Stark Brothers, their sole object
being to demonstrate to Iowa and Nebraska
llclous.' and their other varieties
Attendance on Increase.
The attendance yesterday afternoon affd
evening was much greater than on the two
previous days and last night the crowd was
about as big aa the building could accom
modate. Prof. Joseph Craig of Cornell universty,
New York, delivered a short address last
evening on "The Outlook for Fruit, With
Special Reference to the European Mar
ket." Owlntf to the large crowd, which kept
constantly on the move, only those In close
proximity to the platform from which Prof.
Craig spoke, were enabled to hear the lec
ture. A pleasing feature of the afternoon,
sn( one that will be repeated Friday and
Saturday afternoon, war the singing by a
clorus of 100 pupils from the public schools
of the city under the direction of Miss Barr.
The young people sang three sol. t ii..ns,
"Hark Hark, How the Rain Is Falling,"
"The Sea King's Burden" and Brahm's
"Lullaby."
The tlckettakers assigned for this after
noon and evening are: Afternoon, John Ol
son and C. W. Coker; evening, James W.
Mitchell and Frank T. True.

CHANCE IN TAXING SYSTEM
Burden of Permanent Improvements
to Be Laid on the Future.
BISECT VOTE FOB SENATORS
Effort Made to Wreck Melannrch
Bridge Under Coarse of Construc
tion by Removing Wedges
from Unanlshed Work.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Ia., Dec. 17.-(Spec.laI.)-
One of the most radical of departures
In tax matters I to be recommended to
the coming legislature of Iowa by the
Iowa Tax Revision society and the Iowa
Municipal league. It Is a revision of the
law so as to throw the tax burden for
public Improvements upon the shoulders
of coming generations who are to enjoy
th privileges Instead of principally upon
the present generation.
It Is urged that where public parks
are bought, new city halls built, now
bridges constructed and the like that are
to be of Bervlce for fifty or 100 succeed
ing years the tax burden should be so
apportioned as to fall but partially on
the property owners" of. the present time
and the additional tax upon citizens of
succeeding years who will enjoy the
benefits and privileges of these Improve
ments. Frank Pierce of Marshalltown,
secretary of the Iowa League of Muni
cipalities, has written the many city may
ors throughout the state asking them
to assist In encouraging the enactment
of such a law.
Election of Senators.
Stat Senator E. J. Moon of Ottumwa,
at the coming seaslon of the legislature,
will Introduce the bill which was sup
ported by tho democrats at the special
session and which would, If enacted, give
the election of United States senators
by direct vote, to the people In this state.
The democrats propose an amendment
to the primary law whereby the names
for the various candidates for United
State senator, regardless of party shall
be placed on th regular Australian bal
lot where legislator aro elected. Then
very voter Is asked to vote his choice for
senator. Every candidate for the legisla
ture la requested to sign an agreement
to abide by the choice of the people for
senator. This 1 not compulsory but It
Is expected that he who refuses to algn
such an agreement would stand slim
chances at the polls. Then the democrats
would have the candidate for senator
receiving the largest number of popular
votes elected by the legislature. If there
should be a democratic legislature and
the people voted for a republican senator
they would have tho legislature elect
the republican who was the choice of
tho people. This la one way cf getting
round the United States constitution
aa It now stands. It Is virtually the Ore
gon law.
Tries to Wreck Bridge.
An attempt was made by unidentified
parties to wreck the new Melan arch bridge.
now being constructed over the Des Moines
river hero, by removing wedges under the
supports for the work. Had not the work
of tho vandals been discovered and opera
tions started It might have cost several
lives and damages amounting to 110,000. It
la believed the work ws done by dis
charged employes, through spite.
Yonnar Skater Drowned.
James Johnson, 9 years old, broke through
the Ice while skating on Dean's lake, near
tho edge of the city, and waa drowned.
Short on Statistics.
Superintendent Vance of the State School
for the Blind, who Is in the city attending
the meeting of the State Board of Control,
declares that county superintendents are
remiss in their duty In not reporting to
tho state authorities the number of blind
children In their counties. The law pro
vides that teachers shall report to the
county superintendent and he. In turn, to
the ' state superintendent of public In
struction. Because of a general Ignoring
of this law the superlnendent of the School
for tho Blind 1 unable to get the names
of blind young people who should be en
couraged to go to the college for the blind
and learn to become more competent to
caro for theroaelvea.
Saya Grand Jarles Farce.
Attorney General Byers todsy stated
that tho preoent grand Jury system Is a
farce and that Instead of saying a man
should bo tried for a crime the body
usually says, which of more thsn one
seemingly guilty people shsll be tried for
the crime. Assistant Attorney General
Lyons baa expressed himself as favoring
