North Dakota Representative Dis.
cusses Tariff Bill. Will Prove
Great Benefit to Nation.

Congressman Hanna has returned
to Fargo from Washington, and In an
interview in the Fargo Forum gave
his views on the Payne tariff bill,
showing benefits to be derived to this
Scountrysunder the new measure. He
said in part: ,
4, for one, and I believe the coun-
try generally, is glad to have the tar
III question settled. The bill as pas
sed and signed by the president is
not perfect bill, perhaps, and there
are changes that I~would have liked
to have seen made in it, but I believe
that upon the whole it is good bill
and that the country will readily adj
just itself to 1t. There have been re-
ductions in the tariff on lumber, oil,
coal, iron ore, barb wire, and many
of the other things that are used here
in the northwest. The tariff has
been taken from hides, but to COM
pensate us for any loss that we may
sustain by reason Of that, the tariff
on harness. has been cut in two and
the same is true of boots, shoes and
leather. is..s ssf;s Il,
The tariff on barley, wheat, oats
and fax are left as they were in the
Dingley bill. The barley tariff is es.
pecially good for our state and means
that we will continue to- get good
prices for that grain.
81 voted for the conference report
and for the bill as I felt that any
conference report that would be sat-
isfactory to President Taft and any
bill that would be satisfactory to him
were such that I could support.
sPresid lent Taft feels that under the
bill he has the power to appoint .
tariff commission, and it was the idea
when / left Washington that he
would appoint three experts as prin-
cipals and such assistants as they may
need to make a study OF the tariff
question and to, from time to time,,
submit to him and he to the congress
of the United States their findings
upon various schedules. This will
be Of great help In the future to give

who this week uncorks some new
songs and stories and made a hit
yesterday. Mabel Hite and Mike
Donlin are on for another week.
and those who like baseball will
enjoy the skit, as will those who like
pretty and clever playing such as Miss
Hite discloses. Donlin surprises his
friends by the skill with which he gets
away with his new line OF work; they
wonder how the left fielder is so good
a comedian. To those who do not know
him as a hero of the New York Giants
and a batter with a big average he will
appear as mildly humorous and grace
full.
NOVELTY FOUR, THEN THE CIRCUS
The Novelty dancing four arrive next.
The girls carry long handled umbrellas
and look as though they. just got off
the trolley from Broadway, New York,
not Oakland. The young men wear
lavender socks. lavender neckties and
lavender handkercbiers. The four are
extremely graceful in action and the
two girls particularly made hit with
tn cir nimble footed work yesterday.
Though they are willing to, they do not
become effective vocally.
Winding up the show is the circus,
which must be seen to be believed. 1t
is a wonderful .concoction, beautifully
silly, shriekingly noisy and thrillingly
interesting, now and then. with some
unusual acrobatic work. There is a
band of four pieces and two drums,
which sets a pace for swiftness. and a
horse which adds nerriment to the big
show" There are clowns and other
animals. all combining in mammoth

COMMERCIAL CLUBS.

The Commercial Club is a happy
exemplifcation of the advantages of
cooperation. 1t was not cheap lands
which peopled the great Southwest,
nor was it the advertising of the ubi-
quitous real estate agent, but it was
the work of the Commercial Clubs,
financed by the people and managed
by the energetic secretaries. The
cOpiously Illustrated literature, allur-
ingly worded, and scattered broad
cast over the nation turned the eyes
of the people of remote sections to-
wards the ''New Country in curios.
itv. Persistent distribution of this
literature changed the curiosity in
to longing, and the rest naturally
followed. The Commercial Clubs did
not cease their work with the incom-
ing of the first few immigrants, but
redoubled their efforts and the strug-
Cling few became a stream and the
stream developed into resistless tor
rent which overlooked the land from
the swamps of the lowlands to the
parched plains of Texas, New Mex
leo and Arizona.
And while these Southwestern Com
mercial Clubs were spending talent,
energy and money in pop1lating an
unknown and unexpected territory,
we of the Middle West, or els Miss
issippi State, were idly looking on and
passively permitting desirable people
to pass over the Yichest section of
the North American continent.
Is it not time we got out of this
lethargic state and brought into ac-
ton our talent and energy? There
are thousands of people now living
in less favored localities who only
require a knowledge of. the advant-
ages and opportunities of this section
to join US in a greater, development.
Siagly, none of Jus can impart that
knowledge. Comparatively, in de
form of commercial organization,
we can make known the attrac IONS
we have to offer and be benefited IA z
riculmrally and Enthusiastically SlAn
we do it?-Lexington Leader.
