FRENCH CLAMOR FOR
A FREE TRADE ZONE

lCgrrespondence Of The Associated Press)
PARIS, May % - Establishments
OF free zones" around French ports
a sort of limited free trade-is
one OF the most widely discussed
questions revived under the stress of
economic difficulties
Raw materials imported and used
in the manufacture of articles for ex-
portation now pay the same duties as
those paid on materials consumed in
the country. Advocates of the free
zones assert this is a disadvantage to
French manufacturers in comparison
with those Of the free ports of other
European countries.
Need Of an economic revival and
the necessities of the after-war COM
petition between European countries
they say are in direct contradiction
with the present system. Measures
to facilitate the utmost expectations
arc called for from all sides.
Make Export Easier.
safety valves" free outlets for the
surplus production of the country
say ,he advocates of these zones, are
essential for this economic revival
Tho advocates of this reform natur-
ally meet with vigorous opposition in
country where protectionist prin-
since the days of the Meline ministry
in 1N9S. II is asserted that the
French ports are really suffering from
a sort of an embargo; that is TO say
as compared with Hamburg and Ant
Verp, for instance, a manufacturer in
HaVre. Bordeaux. or Marseillcs Is
obliged 10 pay AN exporting premium
on any articles into which foreign
raw materials enter.
Tho principal argument against
free ports i'm a recent debate in the
chamber of deputies was the latitude
which such regime would afford for
the Justification of domestic wines
and other products.
Cuts Down Receipts.
Another objection TO the free zones
is the diminution Of customs receipts,
which derives considerable force in
Wow Of the pressing need France will
have after the war for the utmost
poss bic yield from every source of in
come. It is answered that, If GER
tain dimuution OF customs duties re-
suited. II would he compensated by an
enormous support given to the
mctchart marine, and would be more
than made IN in different ways
The customs receipts before the
war produced an average revenue Of
100000 600 francs taking the years
from 1910 to 1918 as a basis Statis-
ticaus figure that with increases on
certain products not used for re-cX-
portation. this figure may easily he
maintained even after the granting of
the free temporary importation of
raw materials to be manufactured for

ROADS MUST Be PASSAbLE
POSTAL. DEPARTMENT MAY DIS
CONTINUE RUR--u ROUTES ON
NEGLECTED ROADS

Unless the roads along rural routes
leading out of Little Falls are kept in
good passable condition in the fu-
ture, they may be discontinued by the
postal department. and the patrons de-
prived Of the free delivery service. AS
a means Of reducing expenses the de-
partment will discontinue routes here
and there throughout the country
and this manner has been selected to
decide which routes shall be taken off,
The postal laws are plain on the mat
ter of the passableness of the roads,
stating that failure to keen the roads
in a good, passable condition, at all
times Of the year, will be sufficient
reason to discontinue the rural free de-
livery service on said routes.
Mr.. Brick, the local postmaster, has
been notified that he must report on
the condition of the, roads on the routes
1"adinr ont Of this city, and, in order
to give the patrons along the routes
the opportunity to keep this service,
he has written all town chairman, ad-
vising them of the action of the postal
department, and urging them to put
the roads in shape. He called their at
tention particularly to the growth of
brush and weeds along the ROADS, which
cause snow drifts and give the mail
carriers much trouble and annoyance.

CITY TO Be INSPECTED SOON
BY GENERAL INSPECTION COM
PANY FOB PURPOSE OF Re-
ADJUSTING ms. RATES

Little Falls will be inspected and it's
fire insurance rates readjusted in the
very near future, according to let
ter received by City Clerk Schallern
from the General Inspection company,
in reply to his letter of recent date
asking about an inspection and other
matters.
Mr. Lund, assistant manager of the
General Inspection company, by whom
the letter to the clerk is written, states
that the company had Planned on hav-
ing all inspector at work in Little Falls
last month but so many things devel-
oped that they found it impossible to
carry out the plan. He added that he
did not now just how soon work could
be started here but that he believed
man could be sent here the latter
part of January or at least immediate
ly after February l, and he expressed
the hope that this would be satisfac-
tory.
In writing to the company Mr..
Schal4ern called attention to the fact
that this city has not been inspected
since the state insurance commissioner
ruled that the insurance rates in the
northern part Of the state should be
the same as the southern part. Since
that time, he said, various improve
ments have been made in the Little
Falls fire department, etc., which
should tend to reduce the rate.

MUST CLAMP LID TIGHTER
GOVERNOR NOTIFIES COUNTY Of
FICIAIS HERE OF INFRAC-
T1ONS OF LIQUOR LAWS

Violations of the Sunday closing law
by saloonkeepers in Morrison county
have been brought to the attention Of
Governor Burnquist and the governor
has written to County Attorney Rosen-
meier and Sher11. Felix here informing
them of the complaint This is the
same action as was taken in Stearns
county recently.
The county attorney and sheriff have
sent ont letters to the saloon keepers
in the villages throughout the county
notifying them that they must obey
the laws in regard to closing or be pro-
secuted. The complaint to the gov
ernor cites certain villages where the
infractions occurred but the name of
the complainant was withheld.
County Attorney Rosenmeier states
that during the past year twelve cases
involving infraction of the liquor
laws were tried in court and in seven
Of these twelve cases convictions we're
secured. Two cases were dismissed
and three were bound over to .Ae grand
jury. It is said to be hard to get sa-
loonkeepers in certain villages con-
victed as most Of the people in those
localities are in sympathy with them
and it is almost impossible to got suf-
..fcient evidence.

Tomorrow night the local high school
basketball team will open its season
with double-header, the first team to
meet Staples high and a team composed
of players not exceeding 12o pounds in
weight to clash with Rcyalt IN high
The games will be played at the local
high school gymnasium, beginning at
8:l5. j..
AS yet the lineup of the two local
teams has not been definitely der!ded
but among those who will likely be
seen in the fray are Levin, Dobbyn,
Sims, Elvig, Grimes, Malburn and
Richard, on the first team. There are
quite a number Of candidates for the
lightweight team. The reason the light
players are uitted against Roya]ton is
that the down-river village has not
material enough for a team strong
enough to be able to compete with the
first team here.

Is there any one man to oversee this
big two million dollar business with
profits Of $40,0O0.00 year to be in
vested in maintenance and improve
ments? Our board Of directors (thc
counciD do the best they can, but I
am sure they would welcome the
chance to put the detail work and the
responsibility on the shoulders of some
man that would have the best interest
of the city at heart and who would at
all times work for the betterment and
upbuilding of our city and county. He
would, in fact, be an overseer, super
intendent or general manager. The
county officials would, I believe, well
come such man who could 80 over
the county roads and report conditions
and make suggestions, one who would
work with the county as well as city
officials and also handle the county
fair. AS to the pay of such a man, it
should be large enough to make ~
worth while for the right man, say
from 81, 900 to $4,000 per year. Gould
the County, City, County Fair and our
business organizations combine and
get such a man? If so, it would be the
best investment we ever made.
In making this report, I believe that
we, the members of our Commercial
Club, have just finished the best year
that we have ever had and are now
looking forward to twelve months that
will bring to us greater opportunities
for q bigger, stronger, finer Little
Falls. The spirit Of cooperation is
growing and developing into a force
that, rightly handled and directed, will
mean much to our civic betterment.
I wish to thank the members Of our
club for the splendid support and en-:
couragement they have given the Off.
