Mrs. Gray was Miss Lulu Carr. She

RAILROADS AND SHIPPERS
COOPERATE

With the usual rush of business in
cident to this period of the year, the
railroads are seeming trouble ahead
in the form of a shortage of ears.
In anticipation of this the railroads
have repaired and auued to their
equipment, but it is the fear of those
in charge of railway operation that
this alone will not suffice and to
avoid serious delays and congestion
shippers and the railroads must active
ly cooperate.
Delay on the part of shippers in
loading and unloading ears is often
the direct cause of the carriers in
ability to furnish cars, whereas if the
shippers would load inc unload
promptly and when consistent load
ears to their rated capacity difficulties
incident to rush of business would, il
is believed, be approximately relieved.
The solution of the problem appears
to be cooperation, prompt loading and
unloading by the shipper and prompt
movement and delivery of ears by the
railroads. With this end in view last
year the California railroad commits
sion as well as the railway commission
of Oregon aud several other states
took cognizance of conditions and
with the hearty support of many trade
and commercial organizations develop
ed a spirit of cooperation between the
shippers and the railroads which very
substantially relieved the situation
and a heavy movement of traffic result
ed without serious delay or conges-
ton anywhere. The plan gave such
general satisfaction that in all prob
ability it will soon be a mutual per-
manent working arrangement. Present
indications are that in the near future
demand for cars will be very heavy
and even with a large supply of
equipment in serviceable condition to
prevent delay and congestion in sup
plying and moving cars active co-ope-
ration between the carriers and the
shippers must obtain.

RAW BLUNDERS IN TARIFF
MAKING
Lewistown MONTY Fergus County
Argus.

Argus.
Lacking any Democratic explana-
ton, the Argus is completely unable
to find any logic in the policy of the
present administration in forcing a
tariff on raw products while admit
ting the manufactured product free.
Such a universal protest arose when
the Underwood bill reached the sen
ate and there was open discussion of
the provisions for free meat products
and a duty on livestock, that the ques-
tion was at least made a debatable
one. The whole movement is a direct
blow to American labor, the only ans
wer to such a tariff being that Cana
dams and other foreigners would
slaughter their dutiable livestock and
send the product into the United
States free. 1t is extremely doubt
full if this would make a particle of
difference in the price of meat, but it
is absolutely certain American labor
would not receive a cent for slaughter
ing the livestock.
Exactly the SANE provisions apply
to the grains and their products. Flour
and all grain products are to be ad-
mitted free, eliminating American Ia
Dor on every pound brought over the
border. Grain must pay a duty, how
ouar hut - mill 10 90 1ouy ao 70 lAk
all central and eastern Canadian grain
reach the New York and even the Chi
cago market for less thar Montana
grain. Following 10 the opinion of
one intelligent observer:
"The present tariff on wheat is
Csc per bushel-on oats, 15c per
bushel. The Underwood bill reduces
both cereals to Toe The Democrats
would wheedle the farmer into the be-
lief that he is securing a measure of
protection ON each cereal. How can
he when buckwheat flour, cornmeal,
rye flour, rolled oats, oatmeal, ETC.,
are admitted frees 1t is obvious that
free flour means free wheat, free oat-
meal means free oats, free rye flour
means free rye grain, etc. Levying
a duty on grain and admitting free
products into which that grain must
be made before it can be used is rob-
bing Peter to pay Paul. 1t is self
evident that the American farmer
must dispose of his grain in the open
markets of the world in competition
with the cheapest grain in the world.
The American miller must compete
with the lowest priced flour in the
world-so he must paw the American
farmer a lower price for his grain. The
American grain farmer cannot com
pete with the foreign grain farmer
who raises the cereal on low-priced
land with low-prieed help. The
~grain-farmer runs into the same snag
that faces the wool grower.
