 report a total income of over $3,300, and

"Another feature which gives us 

 pleasure to mention is the large addi-

 bership through the earnest efforts of 

 James McHutchison, who was appointed 

 a committee for this purpose by Presi-

The secretary closed by reporting the

The Tariff. 



For the committee on tariff, Irving 

 Rouse, chairman, Rochester, had pre- 

 pared the following report: 



' ' After a good deal of correspondence 

 and consultation, it was decided that 

 we should present as strong an argu- 

 ment as possible in favor of keeping 

 the rates as they were in the last tariff 

 act, and that especial emphasis be laid 

 on retaining the specific features, which 

 had worked out so satisfactorily under 

 the Payne bill. 



' ' A hearing before the House commit- 

 tee was arranged for, which was at- 

 tended by Messrs. Pitkin, Meehan, Day- 

 ton and the chairman. This was fortu- 

 nate, as no hearings have been held in 

 the Senate except before a subcommit- 

 tee, and from present appearances no 

 changes are likely to be made. The bill 

 ^ passed by the House cuts the rates 

 on trees and nursery stock from twenty- 

 five to fifteen per cent, and on apple, 

 pear, quince and St. Julian stocks from 

 $2 per thousand to $1 per thousand. It 

 leaves the rates on roses, rose stocks, 

 ^Iihaleb, Mazzard and Myrobolan the 

 same as in the Payne act. 



''If the bill is not changed in the 

 Senate, and the chances are that it will 

 ^^' be, your committee feels that the 

 trade generally has fared better than 

 ^'s expected and better than other 

 ^ re important schedules which could 

 ^r 1 did bring much greater influence 

 to bear. This result was largely due to 

 tl fact that there was no division in 

 t^' ranks of the nurserymen. Those

 the result is not all the high protection-

Legislation. 



There were three reports on legisla- 

 tion, and legal action to test the consti- 

 tutionality of legislation. Feter Young- 

 ers, of York, Neb., and D. T. Tighe, of 

 Billings, Mont., each reported on "the 

 Montana case," as it is known. April 

 5, 1913, E. S. "Welch, of Shenandoah, la., 

 had a car of trees held u^ at Billings 

 by R. E. Bancroft, horticultural in- 

 spector, for failure to pay $25 license 

 fee. Bond was furnished and action 

 commenced to enjoin the Montana 

 authorities from interfering with Mr. 

 Welch doing business in the state of 

 Montana without license. "The court 

 issued a restraining order and manda-

tory injunction requiring the inspector 

 to issue certificate, which enabled Mr. 

 Welch to deliver the trees, and the case 

 is now in court, as both sides have filed 

 briefs, and we hope to have a decision 

 on the injunction suit soon." Mr. 

 Peters, also told of the Reed case, in 

 Colorado, with which readers of The 

 Review are familiar. 



Wm. Pitkin for the eastern commit- 

 tee gave the history of the federal quar- 

 antine law and the regulations for its 

 enforcement. He emphasized the point 

 that this law is not a federal inspection 

 law, as many appear to think, but quar- 

 antine law pure and simple, giving a 

 broad authority to establish both for- 

 eign and domestic quarantines. The re- 

 port stated that everything has worked 

 smoothly thus far, but added: "It is, 

 of course, hoped that the law will be 

 administered wisely and with good jftdg- 

 ment. If it is, perhaps no serious 4ttm- 

 culties will result, but the law lodges in 

 the hands of the federal horticultural
