KANSAS MlLLERS WANT FLOUR
DUTY.
Protest Against Plan Of Free Flour
and Duty on Wheat.

Washington, D. C.-Kansas millers
are protesting vigorously to their rep
resentatives in congress against the
wheat and flour item in the pending
Underwood tariff bill. They predict
that if the bill is passed as introduc-
ed, with a 10 cent duty on each
bushel of wheat, and flour free, it will
be disastrous to the milling industry
of Kansas. It would mean, they main
tain that the flour market Of this
country would be thrown open to the
millers Of Canada, Germany, England
and other leading milling countries
of the world, the home millers being
deprived Of the ability to import
wheat. Canada and Germany, it is
pointed out, protect their millers by
tariff on flour and Germany in par
ticular has been openly hostile to
flour from any other country whatso-
ever.
Canadian wheat must pay 10 cents
per bushel to get into this country, ="
one Kansas miller wrote his congress
man. "The same wheat will go to
England duty free, be ground and the
flour will come back here duty free
to feed the seaboard population Of
this country. 1t can be taken to
England and brought back manufac-
tured with a profit inside that 1O-cent
duty. So the milling industry will
lose while the farmer will get no pro-
lection"
The Kansas millers point out that
the hardships of the new tariff on
wheat and flour will fall especially
on the millers of the southwest. Hav
ing had to contend for a year with
technical and theoretical transit rul-
ings that have almost wiped out the
milling business for interior mills
they say that the new tariff follow
ing the added burdens that the south
west mills have had to bear this year
owing to the heavy crop and relative
ly lower prices on wheat in the north
west may serve to finish the milling
industry in the southwest.

No bank belonging to the New

clearing bank consents to all the
terms Of the contract to which the
member bank agrees, including the

thereto; until its officers agree in

thereafter be adopted; pay an initia
ton fee of from $4,000 to $500; and
also agree to pay annual dues amour
ing to $1,000 a year.
The committee found that the av
erage daily out-of-town clearances Of
the association for the year 1899 were
approximately $50, 600, 900 and that Oh
this amount the Association had fore
ed the banks to levy a collection

from their action there was no ap
