American Shipping Policy Started

TINE GEORGIAN feels a par
donable pride in the fact
that the conferees on the
tariff bin have restored to II the
discriminating duty section (sub-
section 7, of paragraph j, section
81 providing a per cent dis
count OF the duty on imports in
vessels admitted to American
registration.
Attached thereto is proviso
declaring that nothing in the sec
ton shall be construed as modi-
flying or terminating any trade
treaty or convention in force be-
tween the United States and for
eign nations.
The Georgian has long and per-
sistently advocated return to
this early policy of the founders
OF the republic-"the constitution
al method OF regulating COM
merce," one that imposes mo ad-
ditional burdens upon the. people
and one without bounties from
the public treasury"
While the chief IMMEDIATE
value of this section is that 1t is

It really effective.
At present imports In vessels OF
countries with which the United
States has trade treaties and con-
Nenuons will enjoy the same dis
count as imports in American
vessels, to the extent provided for
in those trade agreements. There
are a number Of important coun-
tries with which we have no such
treaties and conventions.
In the carrying trade between
these and the United States
American vessels will have an ad-
vantage.

the people who approved of them
and their platform declara lions.
This is a short step in the right
direction. 1t should lead to much
longer steps, and that quickly.
With so powerful an advocate of
the early American policy OF pref
erential duties in the House as
oscar w, Underwood, and with
the Administration at last afr
matively committed to it, ways
and means for strengthening its

The people are much more in
terested in seeing evidences of an
American merchant marine in
foreign trade. worthy the name
and commensurate with the i'm
portance and dignity of the
United States, than they are in
affirmative declarations Of policy,
however high sounding.
After all, it is deeds, and not
words. that count with the intel
ligent people of the United States,
who are, happily, unit in favor
of a great American shipping

ports to foreign CItions.

COMMUNICATION

The Associated Charities is meet
ing with deserved encouragement in
the work recently undertaken. Do
nations of clothing and reading mat
ter are daily being proffered, and the
necessity for room somewhere in
the business district. especially for
the collection and distribution of
these articles, Is being made appar-
ent.
A meeting OF the board OF directors
Of the association was held January
6 in the club room of the library,
following being present: Mrs.
Thos. Mccain, president; T. J..
Welsh, Mrs r. F. Murphy, Rev, c. H.
Flesher, Mrs. D. c. smyth, T. ].
Burke and Mrs. A. E. Whiting.
Mrs. E. H. Smith, chairman OF the
relief committee, was also present.
Mrs. Whiting was elected secretary,
and the first Friday of each month
agreed upon for regular meeting of
the directors.
Mrs. Smyth gave a report on funds
obtained and relief afforded and was
given authority by the board to hire
a room to be used by the relief COM
mittee for storage purposes. The
report showed that nearly thirty
generous boxes of food were dis
triDuted to needy families and indi-
viduals in time for Christmas, and in
all instances were gratefully accept
ed. So thorough an investigation
was made in advance into conditions
in the city that the directors feel
assured that if any deserving person
was not reached at that time, it was
through no fault OF the relief COM
mittee.
1t was agreed that relief work
should not extend beyond the city
and it's immediate environs, and that
all cases Of distress reported from
outside, if in Beltrami county,
should be reported to the county
commissioners One branch of work
which is bearing immediate fruit is
that of the employment bureau,
whose notice appears in the Want
AID columns Of the Pioneer. Mrs.
Welsh, secretary of the association,
has met with ready response in her
appeal for employment on the one
hand and for help on the other, and
the bureau bids fair to become the
most helpful department of the asso-
citation.
A full list of the various commit
tees will be published as soon as
completed by the president.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE HOLDS
UP INAUGURATION BY DEADLOCK
py United Press.

Py O04Ce0 1roBo.
Springfield, Ill.,, Jan. 1O.-The in
auguration Of Gov.-elect Edward F.
Dunno and other state officials, set
for Monday, will probably be held up
by the deadlock by both houses of the
legislature over organization. Both
houses adjourned Thursday without
prospect of agreement
In the house sixteen ballots have
been taken on the speaker without
result, due to the number of Demo-
cratic candidates and the factional
fight in the party. The balance of
power is held by the Progressives,
who so far have refused to make any
deals
In the senate the same situation
was true of the fight over committee
plans. Organization in this body will
be easily effected, however, if the
house comes out of it's deadlock.
The election of two United States
senators may hang in the balance in
fight going on now Trades invol-
wing these offices are hanging fire.

At the last meeting of the county

put the court house in repair. The
court house has never been overhaul
ed since it was built and is beginning
to look shabby. The wooden fixtures
both inside and out will be repainted
and all necessary repairs will be
made. Bids for the sale of the barn on
the court house grounds will be
opened at the next meeting. The
barn will be moved from the grounds
as soon as possible. Many of the
residents in that portion Of the city
objected to- this barn as 1t was con-
sidered an eyesore and a nuisance.
The commissioners decided to put
the room in: the northeast corner Of
the basement in good repair and
hereafter will use 1t as jury room.
The necessity of another jury room
had been brought up before the
board some time ago but no action
was taken: When more than one

be taken to make two rooms on the

ORANGES TO Be SCARCE
Frost Damages California Crop Belt
and Citrus Fruit Will Be
High in Price.
APPLES MAY BE SUBSTITUTED

Minneapolis, Jan. 1O.-Minneso-
tans with fondness for oranges
may have to content themselves this
winter with apples, declare fruit
dealers, because Of the report of ex-
tended damages to California ORCH
ards by frosts.
The predicted shortage in oranges
finds Minneapolis fruit houses with
approximately 900 carloads of apples
on their hands, according to one
man. These apples have been accum-
ulating because of the dealers in
ability to sell them. Orange prices
had been so low that the apple mar
ket suffered. The frosts, if they
were as bad as reported, will practi-
cally eliminate oranges from the
Minneapolis market for the next two
months.
I'VE are receiving kilograms regu-
larly apprising us of the situation in
California" said A. N. Bearman of
the Bearman Fruit company. "The
latest one came from one of the
largest lemon shippers in the citrus
fruit belt. 1t stated that practically
the entire lemon producing territory,
stretching from Los Angeles to San
Diego, had been frosted and the
fruit ruined.
'"Some lemons are raised in North
ern California, but that crop is all in.
We probably will have to depend on
Sicily for our lemons until California
RECEIVERS from this shock. The frost
simply means larger importations of
lemons. There is no place where we
can get oranges for several months.
The Florida crop is in and the Mexi-
can oranges are not due until Sept.
1.
Several carloads of oranges that
were shipped before the frosts came
are on their way to Minneapolis. I
should say there are enough oranges
here to last Minneapolis fruit dealers
for about week. At the end of that
time, If the situation is as bad as re-
ported, we'll be up a tree.' It was
expected that from $4,000 to $4,000
cars of oranges would be gathered in
the crop which is reported blighted.
"Orange prices may have gone up
a few cents in Minneapolis since the
frost reports reached here. Our COM
pany has not advanced the price.
California producers have withdrawn
all quotations. and will make none
until they have determined the exact
extent of the damage" :.
