Congress could have provided for
the termination of these trade
treaties, had it so desired, as each
one contains provision for its ter.
mination upon due notice at the
will of either party. But Congress
now adds proviso declaring that
nothing in the subsection shall be
construed as modifying or terpi-
mating the terms of any treaty nov
in force. If Mr.. Moore CORRECTLY
understands the attitude of foreign
governments with which we now
have such treaties, they will not
object, II foreign nations do not
object, why should certain Of their
superserviceable and overzealous
newspaper partisans in this coun
try object?
Conforming to Treaties.
Foreign maritime nations natur-
ally do not wish the United States
to increase its oversee shipping
Foreign ships have greater oppor.
tunities, as things now are, in our
foreign trade, and foreign nations
are able TO increase their naval re-
serves. Through lavish subsidies
bounties, subventions and other
expedients, foreign nations have
violated the spirit, IL not the let
ter, of their treaties with US that
guarantee TO our ships and the
goods they carry equality Of treat
ment to that accorded their own
vessels in their own ports. The
United States has neither objected
nor retaliated, although these eT
pedieuts have driven America
ships out of the foreign-carryin4
trade of the United States.
If, therefore, the United State.
sees fit to partly revitalize naviga
tion laws that have been upon our
statutes since 1889, although sus.
pended for one-half that time, scru.
pulously conforming, however, to
all Of our treaty obligations, who
can reasonably object?
If, later, this nation sees fit to
terminate the trade treaties under
which the ships Of foreign nations
and the goods they carry enjoy
equality Of treatment In our ports
to that which our laws accord our
own vessels, can there be reason
able objection to such action?
We repeat, all Of these treaties
provide for their termination st the
will of either Of the parties thereto
AS these treaties must be termi.
mated before this country can &c
cord preferential treatment 10 It's
own vessels alone, in its foreign
trade, and as only by limiting such
preference to our own vessels ana
their goods shall we be able n
build UP a great American msr
chant marine in foreign trade, II
is TO be expected that the termius
ton of these trade treaties viii BE-
the next great step in the direction
of building up American shipping
IN foreign trade.
This step can not be taken TOO
soon for the good Of the United
States and all Of its people and al
of its interests.

n trade is to-day less than it
was in 1910, although the
value of our foreign commerce has
increased twenty-seven times over
that of 1910
More than a century ago Ameri-
can ships carried over go per cent
OF our foreign commerce: now they
carry 9 per cent. Through prefer
ences under our laws for American
vessels. both in import duties and
in tonnage dues, between 1883 and
1850, they carried an average of
so per cent Of our foreign com
MERGE during the entire period;
they have averaged 10 per cent
since then, and now carry 9 per
cent.
In their national platforms dur
ing the past decade Democrats
have declared in favor of the res
toration OF the old preferential
policy
Not until this year, however,
have Democrats had opportunity to
restore that old and successful pol
icy. But, in the new tariff bill as
It passed the House, provision was
made as follows:
J. Subsection 7. That q dis
count Of 8 per ceRtum on all d.
ties imposed bU this act shan be
dIlotoed on such goods, t0dres and
merchandise as shall be imported
in vessels admitted to registration
under the IdCs Of The United
States.
The United States began, in
1915, to gradually suspend the Op-
Grafton of the preferential policy
in favor OF American vessels, and
from time to time entered into
trade treaties with other nations
by which it agreed to accord equal
treatment to the ships Of such ma
lions and the goods they carried
as In our own ports we accord to
our own. So when the above sec
ton appeared in the new tariff
bill, the attention of our State De
partment was called to these trade
treaties by several of the score OF
nations with which we have trea-
ties, and, responding to a request
from the Treasury Department for
an opinion, Mr.. j. B. Moore, oOun-
selor of the State Department,
wrote a letter on May %. 1919,
quoting from number of these
trade treaties and conventions, and
saying:
Question of Conflict.
The curious stipuldtioas Adore
quoted suffice to shotC the purport
81 the tTedtg proCtstOnS 10Th tChich
the proposed subsection is alleged
to conflict. This allegation appears
to be toeU founded If, AS SEEMS
TO BE THE CASE, it Is intended
BY the subsection TO aIEo,o the dis
count on duties ONLY on merchon-
dtse imported IN American regis-
tered Uessets.
But what If Congress did not In,
tend to enact a section that would
conflict" with existing treaties,
nor limit the discount to merchan-
disc imported in American vessels q?
Mr. Moore tells us:
Governments haping treaty stip-
utdtions tcith the United States
such az those above quoted PROB
ABLY WOULD NOT OBJECT to

PURE SEED.

PUNE SEESs !
BY A. l.. Garrison, Chief Feed and
Seed Inspector, Department Agri-
culture.
"a man of words and not of deeds,
is like a garden full of weeds"
The question of pure seed is a very
important one in weed control, not
only in weed control, but it is also
a question that has more TO do with
production than any other single
question relation to the various crops
of Tennessee. | think a more oppor-
tune time could not be had than now
to sound a note of warning to the
farmers of the State who purchase
their field seed on general market to
look we'll to the selection. A great
many complaints were sent to this Of
flee last season, all of which could
have been properly controlled if the
farmer had availed himself of the
protection which is guaranteed under
our present seed law. | would like
to place a copy of the seed law in
every farmers hand in the State and
in doing so assure him that this de-
partment is willing and anxious to aid
him in every way possible in driving
from the market low grade seed. A
copy will be sent free on application.
Insist that the law be complied
with when you buy. 1t is strange
but true that the average farmer,
while he recognizes the necessity of
good BREEDING in his stock is slow to
recognize the same principle in re-
gard to his seed. There was a time
when any old COW was allowed in the
dairy herd. Now no animal whose
milk falls below a certain test as to
quality or average amount is allowed
to remain in the herd. This same
business principle should be applied
TO every ounce of seed that is put
into the ground. No seed should be
planted that has not been thoroughly
cleaned and rendered free from all
disease germs or impurities, and
which has not been tested as to ger
minating power.
A serious drawback to the selection
of good seed is the common practice
of waiting until about time for SOW
ing before buying. 1t is then too late
to ascertain its origin and history or
to test its vitality, even if the planter
has the desire to DO so. If the cult
vator would secure the best possible
results from his labor, the seed
should be bought by sample in the
fall or winter before planting. First
Of all, 1t should be examined for puri
=, ty and then a simple home germinat
i. ing test should be conducted. Il
: the sample is pure and of good ger
| minating capacity the purchase may
be completed after which a careful.
, sorting should be made preparatory
!. to planting in the spring.

months old, regardless OF whether it

criminal to Kill young calves, and i'm.
measurably worse TO slaughter ie-
males, just because a few people enjoy
eating veal. If public opini n was ar
raycd against the practice the lives Of
many animals would be spared and the
supply of cattle would not be. so low.

TO THE CITIZENS OF BISMARCK

Since becoming a candidate for pres
ident of the city commission | have
been asked so often as to my view
upon the subjects hereinafter men
toned, that | have decided to make
this announcement.
! believe that a public Office is a
public trust and that the officer is the
servant OF the people, and not their
master; that it is the duty Of the OH.
Ger TO administer the office according
to law. H..
I also believe in publicity in public
affairs. so that the public may know
what their servants are doing in mat.
tiers Of public concern. and how their
moneys are expended, and their inter
ests taken care of, and believe that
the proceedings of the city commits
%sioners should be published for this
reason.
l further believe in lower rates Of
public utilities, particularly the wa
ter and light rates. The natural adj
vantages of Bismarck are such that
both the water system and the light
plant are SO constructed that it is far
cheaper to operate and maintain the
same than those of any other city in
the stats8%Ht.th e charges for both
waterssanaa1Elight are higher in Bis.
marckvthan in any other city in the
state pfsthe anne class. | have cor
responded with such cities as. Fargo.
Grand Forks, Minot, jamestown, Val
ley City, Devils Lake, Williston, Dick
inson and Harvey, as well as others,
and in all of these cities ! find that
the rates are lower than at Bismarck.
! would, therefore, favor an investi-
CATION of the charters of these corpor-
atoms and if the same can legally be
done, have the rates reduced.
l believe in economy and efficiency
in public service, and am opposed to
the unnecessary and useless expense
in the manner of improving and main
tanning our streets as eXemplified by
the policy of the present commission.
1t seems to me a useless expense to
haul snow away from the streets dur.
ing the spring months when the same
would thaw and run off into water in
about "a hours if left in the streets.
Neither can / see any benefit to the
people of the city in paying a man a
large monthly salary, to do nothing
but guard the City Dump.
| am also opposed to the vacillat.
ing and indecisive policy OF the pres
ent board Of commissioners as illus.
trated by their conduct in reference
to the City Auditorium, voted by the
people of Bismarck; and believe that
in such matters, the wishes of the ma
jority Of the people should control.
am also opposed to the police force
of Bismarck as now constituted and
believe that this department should
be thoroughly reorganized and that a
reorganization of the same is impera'
tive in interest Of the public good.
believe in equal taxation and am
opposed to allowing anybody special
privileges.
On these as well as all other ques.
tions, | pledge myself if elected to rep
resent the people to the best Of my
ability.
