WILSON IS AGAINST
FREE CANAL TOLLS
President-eIect Wants Ameri-
can Coastwise Ships
Exemption Repealed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-President-
elect Wilson has made known to Dem
ocratic Senate leaders most closely in
his confidence that he favors the pas
sage of Senator Roots amendment to
the. Panama canal. bill to repeal the
provision exempting American coast
wise ships from payment of tolls.
II was said today that the new
President has made his position plain
lately to several Democratic senator's.
1t was the subject of remark because
Senator O'Gorman, of New York, who
has been regarded as more or less
of a spok for Mr.. Wilson. is a
sturdy opponent of the Root amend
ment and a champion of free passage
for American ships.
There is no likelihood of any action
upon the Root repeal amendment
during the few remaining days of the
Sixty-second Congress. 1t was re-
Gently tabled in the Senate inter-
oceanic canals committee, thus pre-
venting the possibility of even being
brought before the Senate on mi
nority report.
It is expected to be renewed at the
next Congress, probably during the
extra, session.
The rejoinder of the British gov
ernment to the last American note
regarding the Panama canal zone
tolls question was delivered today to
Secretary Knox by Ambassador
Bryce.
Though naturally of great interest
to Secretary Knox, he will make no
effort to consider it, but will allow
the negotiations on the American
side to be continued by his successor
in office.
The note was read to Secretary
Knox bv Ambassador Bryce, at the
secretary's office. and a copy was left
with the secretary by direction of Sir
Edward Grey. 1t is withheld from
publication for the present to aHord
Secretary Knox an opportunity TO
Law 1t before President Taft. but 1t
has been arranged that the note
shall be given out for publication IN
the Sunday morning papers in this
country and the Monday morning pa
pers in Europe.
1t is understood that the British
note. after a repetition of former ar
guments in support of its original
contention, contains a fiat proposal
for arbitration of the issue between
the two countries. according to the
provisions of the existing special ar
hitration treaty between the two
countries. which will expire in june

JOINT DEBATE.
Between Crookston and Morris
Schools Next Monday.

Debating teams of the Morris and
Crookston agricultural schools will
meet here next Monday evening in
a joint debate on the subject of farm
credits.
The question is stated: Resolved,
that a separate system of CO. operative
rural credit be adopted by the farmers
of Minnesota in preference to any mod
ification or adaptation of our present
banking system to the rural credit
problem.
Crooskton has the affirmative and
Morris the negative.
Not only will this be live discus
ison of a live question but it will
mark the beginning of a series of in

more interesting as the years go by,
and furnish to the students an annual
event which all will look forward to
with interest.
Morris will be represented this
year by Selfrid Bolstad, Elmer Lar

FARM COST SYSTEM
Moen Brothers rf White Bear
Lake Know What it Costs.

Sarbuck Times. Every business
conceren nowadays is coming to
realize that co't system is necessary
in their business, and as farming is
now getting to be as much of q busi-
ness. and in many cases more so,
than a store, farmers are beginning to
keep books and figuring costs.
The Times gives herewith some
facts and figures given US by the Moen
Brothers of White Bear Lake which
shows the cost of different farm pro.
ducts.
COST OF CROP PRODUCTION OF
1912.
The cost as charged does not in
clude all the expense or charge which
should be made against the product
for example the cost of twine,
threshing and hauling of manure are
not included. Neither is the land
rent included. The rental value of
land is not usually considered by
farmers as an item of expense in the
production of crops when they own
the land. By land rental is meant
interest on investemnt. taxes and in
surance. It is legitimate item of
expense. however, and should be in
cluded in the cost of production.
Total depreciation of all classes of
farm machinery constitutes single
item of expense in ordinary account
ing, but in determining the cost of
producing field crops per acre. mach
inc depreciation must be reduced to
the acre cost and then distributed to
the various crops. These are neces.
sary in computing the cost of produc.
tion per acre.
Cost per acre, rather than cost per
bushel or per ton varies so made the
basis for computing the cost of pro.
ducing field crops. Cost per bushel
or per ton varies so greatly with yield
that neither can be used as basis. un.
less statistics of yields are collected
for many years in order to secure q
representative average. Moreover
the cost per acre does not vary in
great proportion to the yield.
