The cutting down of the printing
bill of the State by eliminating the
cost Of printing election tickets when
there Is no opposition to candidate
is being seriously considered by the
State officials. At meeting of the
State Printing Board several days
ago, it was discussed at some length
and Governor Sanders and Secretary
OF State Michel both expressed them
selves as favorable to the idea. With
In the past several months the State
has had to have printed for a num-
Der of parishes tickets for election
in which there was only one candi-
date and no interest It costs the
State just as much to print tickets
and furnish supplies for parish, or
ward where there is one candidate
as where there are three or four. If
.hese tickets could be eliminated ex
,ept when there is contest over the
office 1t would be a great saving to
he State in its printing bills. The
election Law would have to be am
'nde1 to make this change.

BEvERIDGE ON TRUE PROTECTION

Senator Beveridge, in his speech at
indianapolis made his reply to AL
drich, aud it was to the effect that he
was be ter protectionist than the ex-
tremists in he senate. THAT which
will destroy public policy is excess
aud injustice, instead of moderation
and equity" he said.
Applied to the tariff, this means
that those who press protection to an
extreme, undermine its foundations,
This is so true that the members of
the house of representatives. who have
heard from their constituents, must
by this time be aware OF TIE sorrow
ful disgust which occupies the public
mind with reference TO the Aldrich
tariff. Instead of revision Gown, it
is heaping up of the tariff. Such a
fatuous course on the part of the
senate can have only one effect the
starting of a campaign against pro-
lection itself.
The greatest boon that can be
offered the free trader is the spectacle
! of the enormous and diseased greed
of the Aldrich tariff. With that as
an object lesson, and the income tax
as an alternative revenue proposition,
he can make a vigorous fight against
the protective system.
| If the Aldrich bill were 10 become
a law, and the people were to allow
the element in the republican party
which put it through to remain in
power, protectionists would grow in
creasingly arrogant, party pledges
would be more lightly broken, the
cost of living would continue to soar,
and selfish manufacturers would croak
louder than ever for more protection" T"
The outcome could be only a revolu
tionary campaign against the tariff
entirely.
/ The country can i'll afford such a
campaign. The way of safety for
business men and for politicians, for
labor and for capital, is along the
path of steady downward revision.
Those who have had too much pro
lection heretofore, must take medicine
now or get ready to undergo an oper-
alton hereafter.

PRESIDENT TAFT stated to twenty
three republican congressman, who
called to protest against putting raw
materials on the free list, that "the
republican party is committed to
q onward revision; that he has never
had anyotherideao of he Chicago plat
form and that be personally has prom
ised downward revision to the people" +"
No doubt this will have some effect
upon the conference committee, but
it is question if it does not come to
late to accomplish the full measure OF
good that might have been accom-
plished if he had given out such a
statement at the beginning. After
sending the bill to the conference
committee those congressmen who
are looking for an excuse will simply
point TO the fact that the bill had
gone beyond their power of control
before the president uttered The state
ment. In a measure this is true. How
ever, when the matter is tried before
the court of the people the congress
man will not be relieved of response
bility in the matter.

the interests of its supporters, and the
men who are prostituting their posi-
ton to bring it about, it may safely
be considered honest in its expressions.
Read the following scathing arraign
ment of some of our Legislators and
the legislation attempted along tariff
lines:
"We have only to glance at the
tariff discussion in the Senate TO see
how far we have fallen back, after the
moral upheaval of few years ago.
The spectacle there is SO base, SO
utterly without patriotism or principle,
so far from the ideals of either party,
so crudely self-seeking, and SO cal
lously ready to sacrifice the interest
of an entire nation for the benefit of a
small part of it, the interest of a
State for a small influential portion of
that State, and even the interest of a
Congressional district for a few con
tributors to campaign fund, that it
points to the establishment ola new
tyranny. This moral rot in our com
mercial system, SO indecently display
ed in the United States Senate, is one
of number of signs which should
cause us to think. The spectacle at
present afforded by the United States
Senate is an insult to every self-re-
specting American. 1t exhibits states
men supposed to be acting in nation
al capacity owned in soul and pocket
book by petty local interests, while
one corporation after another shows
that it can snap its fingers at the
promises made by the Republican
President and all his party before
election, and accepted by the American
people"

WHEN reading the arguments put
forth by some men of great reputa-
tion, we are forced to the conclusion
that greatness is thrust upon some
men who have not the ability to carry
the load A case in point is the
argument of Senator McCumber, Of
North Dakota, against the draw
back" provision in the tariff schedule
in favor of American millers. Now,
everyone will admit that it is beneti-
cial to the country TO keep our large
mills at work. But McCumber argues
that when a short crop is raised trib-
utary TO these mills the price would
naturally go up, and he is therefore
opposed to the drawback, in the in
terest of the farmer, as he declares.
The fact is that McCumber is either
ignorant or putting out lot of hot
air for home consumption. The large
mills depend upon the export bust
ness largely. In seasons of short
crop in their immediate territory they
ak the privilege of shipping in
Canadian wheat, grinding it, and ex-
porting the -four, securing a draw
back of the tariff upon that which is
manufactured here and then sent out
of the country again. Every bushel
of wheat raised is governed in price
by the worlds demand. 1t makes no
difference where it is made into flour.
If we refuse the millers of this coun-
try the privilege of grinding Canadian
wheat, it will be ground elsewhere.
We cannot prevent it from going on
to the worlds market and taking its
part in regulating the price by sup
plying the demand. But we can
injure the market for the farmers
wheat by putting our large mills out
of business. In the latter event the
whole wheat must be shipped to
foreign lands and the farmer must
stand a reduction in price equal to
the cost of the freight on the by-pro-
ducts, and also such loss as might
occur by reason of lessening the value
of the by-products by taking them
further away from the consumer.

No other paper in the United States
circulates SO freely among the monied

1t is daily of about $1,000 circula-
ton, but is more closely read by its

interests, of necessity are related to
the interests of the corporation and
trust managers and thus no other

MILLS CLOSE--FLoUR SALES LARGE

The following given to the Mime
apolis journal by the millers is OF
interest to wheat raisers as IL indicates
the maximum price of wheat at Min
neapolis this fall:
Big sales of flour, with some of the
larger mills closing down even while
the business is being entered, is the
anamolous condition in the Mime
apolis milling trade today That
business should be reported as good
while yet the wheels cease to turn is
extraordinary, even in this between
crop season. The reason is found in
the comparative Stacking of demand
for old-crop -four and the entry of
liberal sales on the new crop basis.
The Pillsbury Washburn Flour
Mills company today closed its "A'
mill. A. G. Loring said there was no
significance to the move other than
that it reflects the wide difference ex-
listing between cost of old-crop raw
material and the new.

CLOSES THREE MILLS.


The Washburn.C Crosby company
closed its "B," ID" and "E" mills,
yet inquiry at its sales department
brought no denial of the rumors of
liberal orders. c. G. Bovey and w.
G.. Crocker said there is increasing
demand for the new crop -four.
The Northwestern Consolidated
Milling company reported operation
continuing at about the same rate, I'll.
P. Gallaher outlined conditions about
as did the other millers.
The situation is this: the old crop
of wheat that the United States raised
last year has been SO nearly used up
that there is a comparative scarcity
and the supply situation the world
over is such as to make prices of old
crop wheat average about 20 cents a
bushel higher than prices for the new
crop, which is growing nicely and
will be harvested before long.
BASED ON S1.30 WHEAT.
To buy -four now is to pay price
based upon 81 80 for July wheat. If
buyer can wait later in the year
for the delivery he can place an order
for -four on the basis of about Sill
for September wheat, or if he can
wait still longer he can buy it on the
December basis, which is Sl.08.
The biggest business ever entered
by the Minneapolis mills for future
delivery is the result of this condition.
While the waiting tendency and
scarcity of old wheat will cause a
temporary period of light grinding,
activity that will make record -produc-
tion figures is promised for the Min
neapolis mills when they begin to get
the new-crop wheat.
