CHEAP CANADA LAND.

Those who are opposing the ratifica-
ton OF reciprocal trade relations with
Canada place q good deal OF emphasis
upon the fact that land In the Dominion
is cheap and productive. Farmers In
the United States with high priced
lands con not compete. they affirm,
with these conditions, Reciprocal trade
relations are opposed thru fear that
the tendency will be toward leveling
Of land prices. which would mean an
upward tendency in Canada and a
lowering in the United States.
If there was any justification for &C
cepting these theories as sound it
would have manifested itself long be-
fore this. The exodus from the United
States in Canada began within the last
decade. And while it has been in oper-
alton Iowa land has advanced on an
average about ten dollars per acre per
year. 1t is true that Canada land has
alyso advanced but the fact remains
that the steady development Of prices
in the United States has not been re-
tarded But admitting for the sake Of
argument that the development Of
Canada Is affecting the price Of Iowa
land. how is this Inevitable law to be
set aside for it is law beyond the
realm OF legislators to amend? VIII
Il materially after or check the flow Of
settlers toward Canada from Iowa and
other states in the union to erect a
Chinese wall along the border and cut
in the least. So long as Canada has
lands to offer for sale that will yield
large income on the investment, just
the foremost 20 take advantage Of the
bargains offered. There is no possible
way Of escaping such competition as
the laws Of nature compel US to meet
IN Canada. Iowa has the same compe-
tition In Texas and Mexico and she
seems to be meeting it all successfully.
We can forbid the shipment Of Can
adam wheat into the United States.
but when wheat from the states meets
wheat from the dominion in Liverpool.
there will be esta bIished common
price level which reaches back into
both countries and the result will be
just the same as If there were no bar
riers between them.
However the establishment Of bar
riers will have a material affect in an
other direction. 1t viii provoke he
taliation. Canada will establish import
nent Of home industries. This has al
ready happened in large industrial en-
terprises. Millions Of dollars Of Amer
lean capital have been transferred to
Canada to escape paying duties on
articles which manufacturers wished
to sci! to Canadians. If forced to do
SO, Canada can get along without our
vegetables and fruits. They are now
large buyers.
Reciprocal relations will not accentu-
ate competition between agricultural
interests In the United states and Can
ada. The absence fthese relations
will deprive US of share of whatever
prosperity accrues to Canada as a re-
suit Of the marvellous development that
is now going on in that country. It
Is a penny wisdom and pound foolish
ness which opposes the most liberal
trade relations with Canada we can
secure

TIME IN CARROLL.

=
Some fifty or sixty miles from our
little city. two men. who were riding
together in a smoking car, were en-
gagged in an argument over whose
watch told the correct time. One OF
the men said that he had set his watch
that morning and to prove that his
watch was right, he called the conduc-
tor of the train and compared time
with him. There was found to be a
difference Of several minutes but still
the man insisted that he had set his
watch that morning. "You must have
set 1t by the court house clock back at
Carroll" observed the conductor, as he
passed on into the next coach.

a 81 per cent reduction in duty that

Not an amendment was offered to
