SALARY OF
i .
Fixed at Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars a Year By Congress.
All Other Salary Increases Were Btrick
en By the Hcuse and the Sanate
Forcea to Acquiesce.
Washington, D, C.—~The salary of
the president of the United States
has been definitely fixed at $75,000 per
annum wiwwout any additional allow
ance for traveling expenses. This
conclusion was arrived at by two
conference committees of the two
houses of congress, one on the leg
islative, execuilve and judicial bul
and the other on the sundry ecivil
appropriation bill, Originally the sen
ate inserted an amendment in the
legilative bill giving tne president a
salary of SIOO,OOO a year. The house
reduced the amount to $75,000 and
the conference on that measure re
sulted in the retention of the house
figures.
Anticipating the possibility of this
conclusion with reference to the sal
ary, the senate inserted in the sun
dry civil bill a provision appropriating
$25,000 for the payment of the pres
ident’s traveling expenses., Later the
senate als@recelded from that amend
ment, th aving a flat salary of
$75,000 for president, out of which
he must pay his own way when trav
eling. The senate lost all of its otn
er amendments for increase of sala
ries for high officials, such as the vice
president, the speaker of the house,
the supreme court judges and other
federal judges.
PENAL CUBE BILL PASSED.
Regulates Shipment of Liquor and
Selection of Federal Juries,
Washington, D. C.—i'he penal coae
bill passed the senate after the elim
ination of the obnoxious sections
which the democrats cpposed as be
ing remnants of the reconstruction
era. This bill contains the anti-jug
rider, It has finally run the gaunu
let in both houses and will go to the
president for his signature,
From the section which declares
that troops of the United States shall
not be used in any state except in
case of war or to keep peace at the
polls, the words “tc lecp peace at the.
polls” were stricken. This relic of
reconstruction horrors will no more
find a place on the statute books.
Another section affecting the right
to serve on juries, which provided
that no citizen of the United States
should be discriminated against in
the matter of selection for jury duty
because of race, coior or previous
condition of servitude, was eliminat
ed from the bill. The means that
negroes may be kept off the juries
Many southern senators were plac
ed in a most embarrassing position on
account of this measure. "They were
bitterly opposed to the obnoxious sec
tions above referred to and yet they
were desirous of having enacted into
law the prohibition amendment,
The anti-jug law was put on as an
amendment to the code bill by the
house. The senate had adopted the
measure as an independent bill, which
had been reported by the judiciary
committee by Serator Knox. It was
gsimilar to the bill originally introduc
ed in the house by usr. Brantley of
Georgia. The amendment prohibits
any railroad or express company from
acting as the agent of buyer or seller
in consignments of liquor. The car
rier may transport the liquor, but it
must have nothing else to do with
the transaction. <he bill is intended
to prohibit C. O. D. shipments of
liquor to fictitious persons and to
break up an arrangement by which
the express offices have been made
branch oiices of the liquor houses.
The bill requires that every package
of liquor sunipped in intersttae com
merce shall be plainly marked on the
outside cover. Violations are punish
able by fines of not more than $5,000
or imprisonment for two Yyears, and
there is an alternative to the last
provision that the liquor may be seiz
ed and destroyed.,
The revision defines more clearly
the jurisdiction of the federal court
over cases coming within the admiral
ty and maritime law; it enlarges the
statute so as to reach modern devel
opments as to new methods of com
mitting crime, and the extension of
American territory; it prohibits not
only “obscene” literature, but “filthy”
literature from the mails; it <limi
nates some of the so-called “Ku Klux”
laws.
Practically the only new legislation
is that to punish “leaks” of govern
mental statistical information, and the
regulation of interstate shipments of
intoxicating liquors. In order that
any serious error might be corrected,
the Dbill does not become effective un
¢il January 1, 1910, enabling congress,
when it meets next December, to cor
rect any serious mistake or omission,

How to Increase the Yield of Fruit
Increased fruit crops are more often the result of good manage
ment than of good luck. Fruit trees and fruit plants need a liberal
supply of
®oo C -
Virginia-Carolina
Fertiiize
.
ertilizers
The trees absorb plant foods—that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash—from the soil just the same as any other crop. Experi
ence has shown this over and over again. This truth has become so
well recognized that “ return to the land what the tree removes if you
would expect the best results ” has become an axiom with the bes.
growers.
Apple, pear, peach, orange and other fruit trees soun respond to
careful fertilization. But be sure to use the best fertilizers.
“ 1 made a test with other companies’ fertilizers,” says Mr. ii. O
Lowry, of Manatee County, Fla., “and yours proved to be the best.
The yield where I used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, was just twice as
much as where the other two companies’ fertilizer was used.”
Hundreds of users say Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are cheapest
because of their good qualities—give better satisfaction and quicker
results.
Many facts of great interest and value to fruit growers are pub
lished in the new 1909 Farmers’ Year Book, a copy of which will be
sent free on application to any of our sales offices.
