RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.

The protective tariff has never been
of great direct value to the American
farmer, though in its contribution to
the building up OF an immense consum-
ing manufacturing population it has
been of great use But those who are
unalterably opposed to tariff revision
of any kind because they have found an
extremely high tariff very beneficial to
themselves are nov trying to enlist the
farmer in their forces of opposition to
reciprocity with Canada by reminding
him of the duty on agricultural products,
especially wheat.
The assertion is often made that it
there we're no tariff on Canadian wheat
it would flood the American market and
depress the price of American wheat.
The absurdity of this argument Is OBJ
yious when it is remembered that the
American market is already Hooded
with its own wheat. Nothing can be
added to dish that Is already overflow
ing. Our markets are so full of their
own wheat that 2UO.DOO.OlD bushels Il
year in flour and grain oyerHows to Asia
and Europe and other parts of the
world. II there was no duty on Cana
dian wheat much of it would be handled
by American grain merchants enroute
to Europe and more or less of it would
be ground in our mills, inasmuch as
most of the Western Canadian wheat is
very hard, and blend of it with softer
wheat makes a very desirable flour.
But for every bushel of Canadian wheat
diverted from the foreign to the Ameri-
can market a bushel Of American wheat
would be sold abroad instead of at
home.
As a matter Of fact, Canadian wheat
now unfavorably affects the price Of
American wheat more than it ever
could il there was no tariff. The facil
tiles for handling, transporting and stor
ing grain in Western Canada are not yet
adequate. As consequences the Cana
dian crop is as rapidly as possible rush
ed to market and the congestion OF
storage and transportation means causes
the farmer to sell at a sacrifice. Thus
at times Canadian wheat is offered toe
cheap in Liverpool. and in consequence
the price of American which, generally
speaking. il determined by that paid fol
export wheat in Liverpool is lowered. II
there was no tariff the crops of the two
countries would be handled As one and
the extensive American instrumental
ties of transporting. storing and selling
would put Canadian wheat on exactly
the same basis as American.

NORTH DAKOTA, counting the actual
production of the soil per capita, which
is the best test of states agricultural
worth. is one of the richest spots ON the
face of the earth. The state raised in
1902 about fourteen acres of grain for
every man, woman and child in its popu-
lation. 1t raised forty bushels of flax
and 235 bushels of wheat per capita of
population. which sold at an aggregate
of $50 per capita. The state has $50 of
live stock per capita, and has more acres
of good farm land per capita. than prob
ably any state in the Union.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1903-08-27

LAST year flax seed brought good
price, while at the present time it is
rather low. Last year wheat was low as
compared with the present high price
which promises to prevail for the com
ing year. During both these years bar
ley has been "a paying crop. We cite
these conditions to show that it pays
the farmer to diversity. The one who
raises variety of crops together with
more or less live stock is the one whose
income will average up we'll one year
with another, and who will, barring un-
favorable seasons, have always a prof,
to show on his investment and his years
labor.

The Edmore Herald kicks over the
traces and insists that Jim Hills politics
in Minnesota, the state board of railroad
commissioners in North Dakota and the
recently handed down decision in the
merger case are all bad for the people.
They certainly don't represent the eternal
fitness OF things. but isn't it little risky
for republican editor to bother about
such tritles ~ when the nobler aims Of
the party are directed to disinfecting
the national machine for the big street
parade in the campaign in 1904.

If the gun clubs of Langdon, Hannah,
Milton and other towns along the line
had got the right kind of move on they
might have been side stepping along
with Grover Cleveland, who has accepted
an invitation to hob-nob with the gun
club at Harvey. in Wells county, visiting
in that section to enjoy chicken hunt
as their guests. 1t will be the first
visit of the ex-president to North
Dakota and the line up of hunters at
Harvey ought to be big one when the
big democrat from the east joins their
ranks.

ERRORS OF ASSESSMENT.

The condition that exists in NORTH
Dakota and perhaps in the great majorit,
of the states of the Union. owing to the
faulty system of the assessment of pro-
perty. under which large valuation es
capes taxation altogether. is gone into
in an interesting manner by Governo,
Herred of South Dakota. The constitu.
lions of both Northand South Dakota
provide thatpropertyshall be assessed at
Its full and true value in money and the
farcial nature of this is evident from
the fact that Red River Valley lands
worth S:55 to $50 an acre-are assessed
for an average of lessthan S. an acre
Bank stock in manycounties of the state
was assessed at a ridiculously low figure
and much personal property not assessed
at all. Governor Herreid sums up the
conditionswhen he says:
''Three years study of the assessment
returns, as member Of the state board
of equalization and assessment, has con-
WINGED me that our present methods for
raising revenue by assessments made by
several hundred assessors. each law
unto himself. comes dangerously near
being farce. The state board is utter
ly helpless regarding most of the per-
sonal property schedules. The constitu-
ton and the laws require all property to
;be listed and assessed at the full value.
While the e'lualized returns will show
about s215,00oMO, if all the assessable
property was listed at its full value we
should probably have sl.OOO,OOO,OOO.
'Real estate is assessed at from half
Its value in some of the northwestern
counties to one-fourth actual value in
che other portions of the state, a dis
crepancy which is gradually disappear
ing: personal property at from third
TO one-fourth of it's actual value. But
the great mass of personal property does
not appear on the assessors books at ALL
The system of assessment is defective
IN its operation. The taxpayer knows
that nearly everybody isvery timid when
the assessor is around, and acts accord
". Every assessor tries to protect his
neighbors and his townspeople, and
every county board tries to guard its
county from paying more than its share,
aad the fruit is-returns showing a
valuation Of about one-tifth ofthe actual
valustion in the state"

\ TEST that will be of special interes,
to growers of macaroni wheat has lately
been made by the agricultural depart
1nent at Washington. Two hundred
loaves of bread were made from maca-
roni flour. There were also two hun
dred loaveS made from patent flour. A
loaf of each was sent to the different
parties to judge. one being marked y
and the other P. Out of ls2 replies to
the query which is the better bread los
were in favor of the macaroni flour.

gestivc in this to the farmer who raises
small crop of wheat for home con-
sumption.

IT may we'll be said that the activity

IT may we'll be said that the activity
of the officers of the state in preventing
the sale of impure foods will be applaud
ed by consumers and will not be objected
to by fair minded dealers. Dishonest
manufacturers who defraud both dealers
and consumers are the only ones who
will object to the law. II there is any
weakness in the law it is in the fact that
innocent dealers are sometimes made to
suffer through the dishonesty of the
jobber or manufacturer. The fine for
the sale of impure foods should be i'm
posed on the manufacturer or jobber
and not on the retailer, who has no means
of knowing the character of the goods
until the information is too late to be of
service to him.

An interview only the other LAY
quotes Jas. j. Hill as stating that the
United States should have a standing
army of 100000 and reserve force of
another 100000 in order to insure peace.
Up to three or four years ago this
country only found it necessary to main
tain standing army of about 5000
men. The attitude of this country's
multi millionaires in favor of militarism
is accounted for in two ways: CONNER
cial expansion and to use army troops
as menace to labor. The idea of pre-
venting their men from daring to strike
~ compelling them to work at the
muzsle Of gun is not by any means .
