The above table is of interest especial
ly to the farmers Of our northwest. To
most, the large and very rapidly increas.
ing importations of cattle and hogs into
this customs district Of Dakota will be a
surprise.
That the importation of such numbers
of cattle and hogs would have no effect
in the stock yards of this Twin Cities and
Chicago would simply be to deny the
we'll known laws of supply and demand.
On the other hand these large impor.
tations have had no effect on the price
to the ultimate consumer. The prices of
beef and pork in the local butcher shops
is fully as high as it was year ago.
Other classes of farm products would
show approximately the same sort of
aggregate results.
The war cry of the democratic party
during the presidential election was the
"high cost of living, They argued free
importation of food products would bring
down the cost of living. They proceed.
ed, when they got in power, to reduce
the tariff on food products SO that now
most goods o; that kind are either alb.
solutely free or pay but nominal duty.
Cattle and hogs are free. 1t is quite
evident that the democratic ideas on
tariff and those of the Canadian farmers
wsuld agree.
On the other hand when an American
farmer wants to send his products to
Winnipeg he is confronted with pro.
hibitive tariff. Last week the Pioneer
Express told of the Halcrow brotoers
experience when they attempted to sell
q carload Of potatoes in Winnipeg, twenty
cents 2 bushel duty was what they ran
up against. Twenty cents bushel shuts
out all American wheat from going across
the line. Other farm products are pro-
ducts are prohibited in the same ratie.
The loss in revenue to this country is
is apparent. It is made very apparent
by the imposition of bill passed this
week for the purpose Of raising ''war
tax" of one hundred million dollars to
supply the deficiencies in current rev..
enue for the support Of our government.
The importations came months before
fhe European war began. The difficult.
ies1 in the revenue also began a long
timelbefore the war. That the war has
had some influence in the decrease Of
revenue is probably true, but what about
tho previous time?
SO far the only result to the consumer
in the abolition Of our tariff duties is to
make 10 put our hands in our pockets

and pay the money direct, instead OF on
imported goods. How much are We
ahead financially
On the other hand, our own farmers
are denied access to Canadian markets,
while Canadian farmers have free access
to American markets.
Mr.. Taft favored reciprocity, though
that was not good republican doctrine.
Tho democrats have gone 20 much far.
ther that the Canadian farmer has every.
thing for him and the American farmer
has everything against him.
The American farmer will have to pay
q large share of that hundred million
war tax. while the Canadian farmer has
free market privileges for which he don't
have to pay cent.

Three new county commi ssioners are
to be elected this year. A. Purdy
from this first district. Adam Norton
from third (Cavalier) district, and Alex
Mitchell from the fifth (Drayton-St.
Thomas) district. While there isn't
much politics in the county commission,
or business it is fact that sometimes,
there is considerable politics.. entering
into the considera tions on the board.
And 1T is at such times it is very handy
to have republican majority there;
especially, as the fact that they are re-
publicans in no way affects their efficl.
ency in other and non.partisan matters.
Mr.. Purdy has been in Office for one term
and his record is shown in the publish.
ed proceedings OF that body. He is q
and successful farmer Of
toilette and has the respect and regard
OF his neighbors. Mr.. Norton was form
erly . member OF the board and We may
add from personal observation that he
was then one q the most efficient com.
missioner that has ever sst on tho board.
Ns. Alexander Mitchell Of Bowesmont,
who has taksn tho yaoancy made ~ the

fore aspiring for publicof1ice, has always
been much interested in public affairs
and as business man will come we'll
prepared to look after the county. He
has been for many years interested in a
private elevator at Rowesmont and has
perhaps been longer IN the wheat buying
than any other man in the country. He
is somewhat SCOTCH nothing to hurt) but
probably his native blood will show when
it comes to expending county money.
Mr.. Mitchell is personal very popular in
his own neighborhood and will be strong
ly supported by those who him best.
Then there's the sheriff office that
needs to be filed with good man-and
a good republican, and Charles Atkinson
fills the bill. Mr.. Atkinson some years
ago occupied that Office to the satisfac.
ton of the voters and will do it again.
Physically he is good man, and while
firm he is also one of the best natured
fellows about. He will make no. man
trouble unless it is absolutely neces.
sary, but will do his duty when the time
comes without fear or favor. Fortunate
ly in this peaceful county the sheriff has
not much criminal business. The blind
pig is gone, terms of court are few and
criminal business almost nothing. But
one never knows when trouble of SER
ious nature may occur, and therefore an
experienced man might be of consider.
able value If trouble did come. Mr.. At
kinsan counts his acquaintances in this
county by the hundred and all who knew
him are his friends.

Office We find the names of Thomas Hall

sioners. The fact that these men were
all selected for reelection at the prim.

efficient officials. They have had the ex-

veil, what object is there in making a
change?

PRESIDENT VS. POLITICIAN.

just now and rightly, there is gener.
al disposition to uphold the hands Of
President Wilson, by all persons without
regard to party.
Because the nation is passing through
narrow and dangerous chsnnels We know
that it will not be good policy to inter-
fere with the man at tho wheel.
The supreme issue of tho moment in
the preservation of neutral peace. We
all believe in the honesty and good
intentions Of the president.
We all understand the many difficulties
that surround him as chief magistrate Of
the nation. We all want to help him as
far as we are able.
But this sentiment must not and ought
not to be interpreted into an Endorsement
of the democratic party or of Mr.. Wilson
as the chief representative of that party.
1t is fact that there IS the democrat
ic and the republican party.
1t is fact that Mr.. Wilson stands for
certain principles Of government that are
opposed to the principles Of the republi-
can.
While we are supporting President
Wilson in the matter Of neutrality and
peace, while we are willing for the time
to forget discussion of partisan issues to
some extent in the interests of peace, yet
that should not be interpreted that the
republican party is supporting Mr., Viii.
son as a candidate for reelection.

Senator Gronna will be reelected by
a large majority because he is republi-
can and because he has done good work
in the senate, not only from political
standpoint but also from the North
Dakota point of view. North Dakota
shop Id profit by the example of the east
ern states and keep on sending the same
men, term after term to Congress. 1t
takes several terms in Congress to make
. real Congressman. A new man isn't
in it until he has been there for several
years.

The law requiring a new man for
county treasurer this year, the republi-
cans have selected Hugh Gibson of Wal.
halla as a suitable candidate. Mr.. Glib.
son is a pioneer business man, who has
made success of his private business,
and who if lsuccessful will make the
county business his speciality.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1914-10-23

Under the North Dakota law the state
treasurer has to change. John Steen is
the republican nominee, who won after a
close contest at the primary. While a
stranger IN this locality, he was SO we'll
supported by his own friends in the
primary that he must therefore be a
good man.

SCHOOL NOTES

Friday, this week. will be parents
day at the Lowell school. Miss Helen
A. Dewey. the principal. and all of
the teachers are planning on a big
day. All parents are invited to come
to the school building at 2 o'clock to
inspect the regular recitations, which
will be in progress, to see the hall
decorations and an exhibition of the
years work. Since the kindergarten
has two sessions a day, parents day
will be observed in the kindergarten
department, both morning and after
noon.
The girls interested in tennis play
ing are enjoying themselves in the
fine courts at the new high school
building. Mr.. Flynn did an excellent
piece of work on this tennis court un-
der the direction of Chief Engineer
Broemser. Mr.. Broemser is always
willing to help out whenever we want
something extra done for the good of
the schools.
Superintendent Allen recently had
q short talk with the different mem
bers of the senior class in regard to
their future prospects. Over 81 per
cent of the class intend to go on to
higher institutions of learning, the
most of them next September. Ac-
cording to statistical reports from
various schools, there are few high
schools in the United States from
which such a large per cent goes on
to college and university work.
Miss Carrie Miller, assistant high
school principal, recently received an
invitation from Miss Rebekah Miller
to attend the graduating exercises of
the class of 1914 at Leland Powers
school. Boston. The parents and
friends of Miss Miller are to be con-
graduated upon her success. She is
thoroughly in earnest, and we be-
lieve she will do well in 4er chosen
