THAT TARIFF LAW.

1t is amusing to note how the North
Dakota Democrat of Fargo congratu
lates the Democratic party on tho
operation of the Underwood tariff law
and justifies it on the ground that the
tax burden has been reduced. Nc
mention, however, is made of the va
rious war" taxes for which the Dem
ocratic tariff is directly responsible
nor the deficit piling up daily because
the present tariff rates fail to yield
enough income to pay the expenses O.
government.
Were it not for the special taxes
levied ostensibly because of the de
crease in imports owing to the condi
tons in Europe, the government def
cit would be even greater. The hu
NOR of the situation lies in the fac
that the revenues under the Demo
cratic tariff were inadequate long be
fore lostilities broke out in Europe
War has saved the Democrats partial
ly from the humiliation of admitting
that their tariff rates are much toe
low to meet the governmental ex
penses. OF course, this is only one
i%nadequacy of the Democratic tariff.
Only the war in Europe has abro
gated many of the pernicious feature"
of the Underwood tariff. Despite this
fact, outside of a certain group Of in
dustries, there is commercial depres
sion which must become greater as
the war progresses. A considerable
percentage of our industries are MOI
beneiciaries OF large war orders.
Just before the war, commerce.
stagnation had set in to such an ex
tent that the federal government
started a comprehensive Investigation
into the question of the unemployed
This situation, while eased through
the war business, still exists to {
greater degree than most people real
ize.
The Democrats can thank the war
and it alone, for what commercial ac
tivity there is. With normal condi
tons restored, the paralyzing effect:
of the Underwood tariff will be felt
The Pacific coast is feeling them now
as It lies wholly without the zone O.
war business.

~TERRORIZlNG LONDON.

Not since the days Of the Spanish
Armada and the N%apoleonic era has
England felt such suspense. Twenty
lives lost in London, the result Of al
air raid by hostile craft, brings the
war to the very door of every Brit
Usher. Just what purpose the killing
of non-combatants serves in terminal
ing the war has never been explain
ed satisfactorily, but surely the CAPT
tai Of the British Empire is a legiti
mate objective of the Teuton.
AS the Pail Mall Gazette has said
this is "Londoners' first glimpse OF
the war at close quarters" England
has been practically immune from at
tack since William the ConquerOr sci
foot upon her soil. 1t IS rue there
have been minor invasions and at
tacks from sea, but none that has
struck terror to the hearts of the Brit

Fear of invasion there has been be-
fore. The Spanish Armada proved {
bette noir until it was destroyed by tht
elements. Napoleon for seventeen
years menaced the British peace O
mind and not until the Little Ccrsi
can was permanently eXiled did the
English Of security return.
The object of the raids doubtless is
to cripple the industrial life of the
great capital, especially the shipping
facilities. Concentration camps

Until this recent raid the damage to
both life and property has been insig.

claimed, many wounded and consider

GRAIN MARKETING.

Farmers of North Dakota can serve
themselves best these days by hold
ing on to their wheat. Unfortunately,
storage facilities on the farms are
not as adequate as they should be.
hence the Cutting of the market with
early wheat and the resultant decline
in price.
If farmers stacked their wheat and
threshed less from the shock, this
would have the tendency to keep the
price up and prevent too early mar
keting. Stacking also enables the
farmer to get onto his land early in
the fall and still leave plenty of time
for %thresiing and marketing. Wheat
in the stack is safe and where storage
facilities are lacking answers much
the same purpose.
The North Dakota farmer should
follow the example of some Older
oluIOo1 NAClC luC SIdShllS VI 81 Oil
gives excellent results from a mar
letting standpoint. The haste with
which the North Dakota farmer mar
ketsj his products does as much aS
any one thing to depress prices.
A little less than a year ago the
federal department of agriculture is
sued a general warning to the farmers
CT the nation to hold their wheat and
other grains. Whether the same ad
vice will be offered again this year is
predetermined. because When the price
investigation was on last winter, an
other branch of the government found
fault with the tenacity the farme'
showed in hanging on to his grain tc
reap the advantages of a better mar
ket.
Just a little foresight at this time
in marketing wheat will mean many
more dollars in the pockets of NORTH
Dakota farmers.

The Tribune will pay the regular

In the case of the daily papers it is
an even exchange. AS regards the

only fifty cents.

of the critical deliberations. This ma

SNAPPED
FOR THE He MOVIES
Farm and Other Industrial Scenes
Secured by Exposition
Agents

Wilton, N. D., Sept. 1O.-Moving pic,
lures of Wilton and adjacent country
scenes will be shown at the Bismarck
exposition this fall. j. B. Mill, the
hustling and energetic publicity man,
ager Of the exposition, accompanied
by F. Holmboe, the we'll known Bic,
marck photographer, were in Wilton
last week, in the interests of the ex,
position, and took d number of scenes
which should prove to be OF much
benefit to this section. The pictures
will be first shown at tle agricultural
exposition to be held in Bismarck Oc-
tober 4 to Is, after which they, with
the films of other sections of the state
will be sent east to advertise North
Dakota in an endeavor to induce se:-
tiers to come and hive here. 1t is es-
timated that there will be at least 20,-
900 feet of moving picture films rep
resenting actual scenes in North Da-
kcta shown in various parts of the
east, (which will be one of the biggest
advertising features over attempted
to display the products of the great
est state in the Union.
Messrs. Mill and Ho,mooe TOOK
about 500 feet of films, showing local
scenes. Two pictures taken c.
Wilton, one On Main street and an
other along Railroad street, showing
the park. A number of views of The
Washburn Ignite Coal Company's big
plant were also taken. A harvesting
scene with sever binders working was
also secured. Both gentlemen repre-
senting the exposition much
pleased with the various pictures Sc
cured from this section.
Mr.. Mill. while here, explained that
the exposition, which has heretofore
been conducted and financed by the
state. is now in the lands of the
North Dakota Agricultural associa-
ton, which has changed the plans in
many ways so as to make it more at
tractive and at the same time less ex-
pensive to the counties and individu-
as. For instance, heretofore coun-
ties were charged a rental for space.
where under the new management the
booths will be given free, the assoc.ar
ton financing this, as well as other
features. Again, a plan is being pro
jected whereby the exhibits of the
counties will remain in the building
al the year a around, instead Of just
through the exposition, so that travel
ers and visitors coming to Bismarck
may have a chance to view them at
any time during the year.
