The great crops of the northwe st
will be moved this year with none y
furnished by the banks of the north
west, and Wall street will have no
hand in it. The Twin cities will
furnish $S,000,000 and Chicago SlO,.
100000 for this purpose, according to
a prominent banker. Is it possible
that the vests growing independence
of the eastern money center is what
has created the pressing necessity for
the Aldrich central bank scheme7--
Sioux Falls Press.
There is nothing remarkable in the
above statement of fact when we
remember that the west has practic.
ally furnished the money for moving
the big crops of the last five years.
At the time of the financial stringency
in 1907 the west was furnishing its
own money. There would have been
no lack Of money 10 the west at that
time had it not been for the fact that
the New York banks tied up some
thing over $500, ,OO0, 10000 of money
that belonged in the west. 1t has
been customery to speak of New York
as the financial center ofthis country
1t is the financial center, but only for
the simple reason that the west does
not have the industries to use its own
money at all times of the year, and
when our western money is not EN-
ployed at home it finds its way eas'
for employment. The west is the
real financial center today, but un
organized so to speak. Not only dS

The Clipper believes that state is
better governed with a man who has
had good business training than il
is when governed by professional
man. We have in mind the present
governor, and Andy Lee gave us q
good administration, also, and then
there was Sheldon. All of these men
had made marked success in their
own business and they carried the
same prinples into the governors
office. None of them felt the
need of legal training in their con
duct of the affairs of state-their is
an attorney general to look after that
department. We therefore contend
that past experience has proven thai
a man trained in the ways of success
full business will make much better
state executive than the professional
man, be he ever brilliant in his pro
fessiou, and especially SO should the
professional man happen to bear q
besmiched reputation. .-Canistota

we furnish money to move our own
crops, but the west furnishes money
for some OF the larger commercial and
manufacturing institution. The west
is the financial producing center and
it will not be long before it is reconiz-
ed as the only center. At the
present time New York is the center
because it handles the money of other
localities.

THE BENIFIT OF THE DOUBT

The president has vetoed the wool
tariff bill BECAUSE, he says, it was
not drawn by tariff commission.
But his Canadian reciprocity bill
"a tariff bilD was not drawn by a
tariff commission. He signed that.
And the odorous Taft Aldrich-
Cannon bill was not drawn by tariff
commission. He signed that.
He will also veto the farmers free
list "a tariff bilD because it was not
drawn by tariff commission.
But he said the Taft -Aldrich Can
non tariff law was the best tariff law
this country ever saw.
The country doesn't think So.
He said that schedule X (the wool
tariff in the Taft Aldrich Cannon
law was "indefensible."
But he defends it with a veto
against the changes now proposed.
1t is conceded that the the Taft
Aldrich- Cannon tariff gives the trusts
all the best of it and robs the con-
sumers.
The wool bill, the farmers free list,
the steel bill, the sugar bill, the cotton
bill, all will be vetoed because they
were not drawn by a tariff commiss-
ion.
Yet the schedules they are intending
to revise were not drawn by tariff
commission and were signed by the
president.
Last summer he gave the trusts
the benefit of the doubt.
With each tick of the clock the
trusts through the present tariff law
are robbing the consumers of the
country.
The trusts have had the benefit OF
'unscientific revision" for year.
The people have all doubts resolved
against them.
If the Taft Aldrich Cannon bill
drawn by congress with the aid of a
trust lobby was scientific" enough
| to be signed are not the bills reduc-
| ing its schedules, also drawn by con.
gress, but WITHOUT the aid of a
trust lobby and without the aid OF
Aldrich, just about as scientific
from the standpoint of the man with

If the Canadian reciprocity bill,
written in the dark by the Lord
knows who, is worthy Of being made

WHAT THE HOLSTEIN cow
CAN DO.

last year we made mention of
the fact that p. f. Crothers had
moved from Brookings back to his
old farm home in Badger township,
and that, in company with one of his
sons, he bad engaged in farming and
would pay particular attention to
dairying. As a start in dairying Mr..
Crothers went to New York and
bought some of the best pure bred
Holstein cattle in the United States.
Many of the INDEPENDENT readers
will be interested in knowing
something of the success of Mr..
Corthers in this line. We therefore
print a part of private letter recently
received from him, which is as follows:
"Now that Reciprocity has been dis
posed of let us talk some more about
dairy farming. We can agree on that
to dot. / approve most heartily of
the articles you occasionally print
in your paper regarding the dairy
COW and the place she ought to have
in the agriculture of this state. Some
people may not like it, some people
do not like to milk; but tell you,
Fred, / believe we are pretty near the
point where the farmers have got to
fish or cat bait 4 mau ought to be
able to learn to like al most anything,
Iif il pays.
"What stopped the exodus out Of this
s'ate and the begging expeditions to
the eastern states for help for our
people in the early 90's9 The COW.
What brought prosperity to the
greater part of this state in closing
years of last century? The dairy
COW and the co operative creamery.
What can restore the fertility to our
soil and make the farmers income as
"a government bond regardless of
drought and hot winds9 The dairy
COW, the co operative creamery and
the silo. My experience this last
year has made me feel more enthusi-
astic for the dairy cow than ever.
perhaps you would be interested in
knowing how | am coming with the
pure bred Holsteins had shipped
in from New York last fall. / will
say | am more than pleased
with them. One of them, three
year old with first calf has given 1000
lbs. of milk, equal to 290 lbs. of
butter in four and one half months,
and is still giving over 40 lbs. day
in spite of no. winds, drought and
flies. | have raised two fine calves
one of each sex"
That dairying pays well has often
been demonstrated. That it pays to
get the best dairy cows possible is
once more demonstrated by the ex
perience of Mr.. Crothers. The COW he
speaks of produced 29O pounds of
butter in four and one half months
Valued at 20 cents per pound, that
COW produced $500 in that
length of time, or $l2S8 cents
| month.
OF course it is not possible for every
farmer to buy herd OF such cows at
first, but anyone can make start
and work to that end.
