Darlington Writer Sizes up Fal.

TARIFF VITAL ISSUE
IN NORTH DAKOTA
BY CHARLES n. REIMERS.


Darlington, N. d., Nov. 3.-Thc So:
OF the Northwest is the basis OF oul
prosperity. That thought is neither
new nor original-but just don't for
get it. And, while you are thinking
about it, make it a little stronger and
say the farmer is "the root of all
national prosperity" for without the
farmer and the food he produces, life
would decay and humanity revert to
savagery. Another ancient saying is
III the city resident prospers, the
farmers should also prosper"
When this government was estab
lished the country had powerful and
large class OF small land owners. The
problem that confronted such men as
Alexander Hamilton. was that of a
people stagnant because they were
nearly all bucolic. Hamilton aimed
to create cities which should afford
the impetus lacking under the all.
rural society of his time. During the
past so years the balance OF power
has swung to the cities, until today
the organizer, 'cOngested center en-
tirely outweighs in influence the I'M
organized rural population, which has
been reduced to the level Of a mere
appendant of the body polite, and
finds itself unable to fulfill its Office
OF cOuntercheck upon the swollen,
self.satisfied cities. But the cities suf-
fer for the penalties of congestion in
trade opposition and high prices that
are the natural consequence of I'M
checked growth and control. Not un.
til the farmer is restored to an equal
and balanced share in the industrial
either the city or country hope to
get exact justice.
Farmer Pays Price
Those thoughts occurred to me in an
attempt to study the ultimate effect
Of the Adamson so-called "Eight-hour
law" probably the most vicious, dan.
gerous and far-reaching piece OF leigs-
lation ever enacted by Congressman
the farmer, who furnishes the tonnage,
has to pay the freight" In fact, this
has not been contradicted.
In discussing the effect Of the Ad-
amsOn eight-hour law at Lincoln,
Neb., a few days ago. Mr.. Hughes, the
Republican candidate, said: AN in.
crease Of wages is serious matter.
You are interested in it. Every citi-
zen is. Who pays these millions of
dollars? You say the railroads pay.
Well, where does the railroad get the
money? It gets the, money from the
shipper, and If the shipper is a whole.
saler he gets it from the jobber, or
the retailer, and by and by it reaches
the consumer; 1t reaches the public;
1t reaches the farmer, and it reaches
the great body Of working people of
this country engaged in every form
of pursuit. You pay the freight.
Tariff Boosts Imports
But the Wilson administration says
to the farmer, What kick have you
coming? See what price you are now

prevails at Washington? There are
other things besides the Ubiquitous
Adamson law that the farmer should
think about, but the Adamson law
should be sufficient to put every
thinking producer against the most
wobbly and humiliating administra.

BRYAN OPPOSES CHANGES IN TIE
 RAILROAD LAWS
Expresses Opposition to Generalization of the Powers in Federal
 Government.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. - William Jennings Bryan today appeared before the joint congressional committee in- vestigating transportation problems and strongly opposed the centraliza- ton of power in the Federal govern ment in connection with railroad suggestion for federal incorporation and he also opposed the proposal to lessen the power of the various state railroad commissions by lodg- ing the greater power of regulation in the Interstate Commerce Com mission.
 Mir. Bryan declared that his oppo- sition was based on the belief that to transfer the regulatory power to Washington would impose an impos- sible burden on the authorities here and inject a tremendous political force into the national affairs which would enter into the elections to Congress and would amount to a de- cided step in the centralization of the government.
