HANsBRQuGH- SHAW CONTROVERSY
The Controversy Between the Senator and the
Secretary Ended for the Time Being
Controversy Has Resulted in Much Education on the
r Matter Of Drawbacks. Secretary Appears WOrsted

The exchange of letters between
Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota
and Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
has ended for the present. AS is
stated by Senator Hansbrough, the ex-
change has been a sort of campaign
Of education on the question of draw
backs. To the careful observer it will
appear that Senator Hansbrough has
had the best of the argument with the
secretary. Senator Hansbrough points
out that by the ruling of the secretary
on the question of drawbacks an act
of congress levying a duty has been
nullified. In his last letter to the sec
rotary, under date of April 20, Senator
Hansbrough says:
My Dear Mr.. Secretary: am sure
that if the public has followed our cor
respondence some light has been
thrown upon the intricate drawback
question. In a way believe it has
been campaign of education, and for
the present l am content to let the
matter rest.
| 1t would be some comfort to those
who oppose your policy if they could
believe that it is possible for you to
know beyond all question that the
imported wheat is used in the exported
four as stated in your letter to me
Of the 26th. How can you know it?
To say that you can know it from the
] books of account of the miller is not
enough, for that is not the language
of the law. To say that you can follow
a given quantity of wheat through the
nazes of modern mill and be abso-
lutely certain that the identical wheat
| went into a certain output of -four.
| consisting in part of other wheat, is
| absurd. And. should you suspect that
the miller had not told you the truth
| about it, there is no remedy for the
government
But this is not the most serious feat
ure of the case. An act of congress
has" been overridden, nullifed, by an
executive department. AS stated in
my last letter to you, which was pub
lished in the New York Tribune of the
23d, the millers are practically the
sole importers of wheat. Therefore,

al advantages of production, in the
midst Of the wonderful oil and gas
pools of the southwest. The pioneer
spirit so wells up that the irrigation
of North Dakota almost tempts me to
again take up the dreams of nv
youth, of the grandure Of that health
ful wonderland, of rich soil and
bounteous production sure to follow
irrigation. Believing that we have the
love and esteem of all the old settlers.
and hoping for the best for your peo-
pie, has caused these jottings. While
Tar away, disinterested financially, nv
experience is freely given to the new
and younger generation that now
possesses that beautiful land, that thew
may heed their golden opportunity.
The complaint against politicians is
SHY and childish. Politics is the
science of government and without
politicians in a republic, we would
soon have no government. AS to my
self, l am faithful follower of
Bryan-and Roosevelt-why? Be-
cause they are pushing the cart of the
common people, and the old timers
will remember that I was always
ready to put my shoulder to the wheel
OF that cart. So trust that the OBJ
jectors will turn in and help the politi-
clans push the irrigation water cart.
Teddy is the best politician in the
United States-because he has taken
Jefferson. Jackson and Lincoln for his
ideals. Like the great Monroe he has
brought about a feeling that he will
honestly do his best to make good for
us all. Knockers, please quit.-Irri-
gate. -Irrigate as quick as you can.

sIxTY-FIvE THOUSAND ACRES TO
BE RECLAIMED ALONG THAT
RIVER. o = -, Is IS

While the people in the Bismarck
irrigation project are hesitating about
the feasibility and proft-earning feat
ures Of the scheme, the farmers along
the Yellowstone below Glendive-
where the land, as here, is all in pri
waite ownership-have formed water
users association and secured the
setting aside of $1,SO0,O00 from the
reclamation fund to construct the
works. .s..S's f' r.. .s.. r s'
This project contemplates the diver
sion of the waters Of Yellowstone
river, at a point ninteen miles north
east OF Glendive, Mont, for the irriga-
ton OF about sixty-fve thousand acres
lying in northeastern Montana and
northwestern North Dakota. The diver.
sion dam will be SO located as
to permit the. canal to be taken
out in a tunnel, thus placing
the read-gates where they will
be protected from the shock of large
Ice gorges, which cause damage along
this river every few years. The river
bed presents suitable foundation fol
the dam, and stone for its construc
ton is near at hand. ~. -.
The 1rrigable land is along the left

water from the main canal to the
bench land above. About twenty-five
miles of the canal will be in very
rough country. There are thirteen
different creek crossings to be made,
one Of which will be accomplished by
means of a concrete-steel pressure
pipe 5000 feet long and 10 feet in
diameter. The canal will have a
capacity Of about seven hundred and
fifty second-feet. " -, ,.,..EE'. '.,
The soil of the bench lands is sandy

of the bottom lands is sandy loan, but
in some places it is mixed with clay.
1t is probable that some of these bot

The lands are largely in private owner
ship. AS this section lies in the semi
arid region, years Of ample rainfall are
very infrequent. On such years
abundant crops of grains and vegeta-
bles are raised, the soil being particu-
larly well adapted to potatoes and for.

of the wheat, you repeal paragraph
234 of the tariff law, which imposes a
duty of Is cents per bushel.
Now You ask me to explain In what
manner You think the American pro-
Queer Of wheat can be injured" Need
I call your attention to the fundament-
al principle of our American fiscal
policy? In word, it is to protect the
American producer against the cheap
ly-made or cheaply-grown products OF
other nations. Through the operation
Of this policy the American grain-grow-
er was enjoying the benefits Of protec-
ton. He was receiving a decidedly
better price for his wheat than the
foreign producer was receiving for his.
The miller alleged that he could not
pay the American price and continue
to make flour for the export market.
Yet the figures show that during 1904
he made and exported 11,542,618 bar
rels. And even during the month of
December Of that year he made and
exported, according to your own fig
ures, over 100000 barrels. This was
prior to your decision authorizing him
to blend imported wheat with domes-
|, tic wheat. 1 may say incidentally that
all these things took place after the
miller had failed in his campaign for
Canadian reciprocity and after fed
eral court had decided that he should
not import frozen wheat from Can.
ada at 10 per cent ad valorem. / refer
to these incidental matters for the pur-
pose of attracting your attention to
the miller's exceeding anxiety in be-
half Of free wheat, which desire has
now been fully gratified through your
decision. AS the total wheat imports
for 1904 were only 1902, O49, the miller
must have used domestic wheat in the
11,542,61S barrels of flour ground for
export?
10 illustrate further, under your
decision the miller will now buy the
cheap foreign wheat instead of the
higher priced protected domestic
wheat, the cash price of which must
inevitably decline to meet the compe-
tition resulting from free imports.
Very truly yours,
H. C. Hansbrough.
