From Everybodys Magazine.
 A traveller passing through the Broad Top Mountain district in northern Bed ford county, Pennsylvania, last summer came across a lad of sixteen cultivating a patch of miserable potatoes.

GRONNA'S PLATFORM.
North Dakota Congressman Tells the
Voters What He Stands for in
National Legislation.

To the People of the State of North
Dakota:
Having decided again to become a
candidate for nomination and election
as a representative In congress from
North Dakota, I deem 1t proper to
issue a statement expressing my pres
ent convictions in regard to the ques-
lions Of national import now confront
ing the people of the United States.
AS a republican and asking for the
SURFACES Of republican voters, I SUBJ
scribe to the cardinal principle of pro-
lection to American industries. L be-
lieve, however, that the time has come
to subject the schedules Of the pres
ent tariff to a close scrutiny in order
that duties which give undue prefer
ence or which are ineffective may be
changed to meet present conditions.
I believe that notably in the case Of
iron, coal, lumber, and wood pulp the
tariff should be removed, except such
countervailing duties as may be nee
essary to offset export duties levied
by other countries on the raw ma
terial.
I believe that no backward step
should be taken in the enforcement
OF what lave come to be known as the
Roosevelt policies" in order that The
public may be protected from arbi-
trary exercises of the power resulting
from the enormous aggregations Of
corporate wealth made possible by
our institutions.
l believe that all public service COR
porations should be subjected to gov
control, and that for the pur-
pose Of taxation and regulation a
physical valuation should be made Of
all corporate property. To be effec-
tive, control must extend to the capi-
tai OF corporations. Capitalization
Of franchises and Of monopoly rights
should not be permitted.
believe that in the not remote fu-
lure a law should be enacted requir-
ing corporations ngage in interstate
business to incorporate under nation
al laws. The Sherman Antitrust
Law, should be so changed as not to
prohibit combinations not against the
public interest.
I favor the speedy enactment Of
laws providing for a graduated in
come tax and a graduated Inheritance
tax.
l believe that the time has come to
consider the question of a radical
chang In our currency system, but I
am unalterably opposed to anv svs-
