Profession and Revenue


We are asked by Chicago editor
to answer the letter of an Illinois
lawyer asking for zone or two sug-
gestions how at the present time a
Protective Tariff would increase Fed
eraI revenues" The gentleman who
asks this question need only consult
the import statistics to find his own
answer. In the nine months ending
March 81, 1917, we were importing
foreign goods at the rate of two and
One-half billions a year. For the
month of April, 1917, our imports
were coming in at the rate of three
billions a year. Of these imports,
two-thirds were non-dutiable and on
the free list, and the remaining one
third subject to a low and non-Pro-
tective schedule of duties. The aver
age revenue collected on the imports
for nine months ending March was
less than nine per cent The aver
age revenue under a properly Pro-
tective Tariff law would have been
fully eighteen per cent. or double
what was collected under the pres
ent Tariff law. Not only has there
been a very large reduction in the
Tariff duties intended to be Protec-
tive-a reduction that brings the du-
ties below the point of adequate Pro-
tection-but there has been an enor-
nous addition to the free list in the
Underwood Free-Trade Tariff law
Practically all the productions Of
American farmers are on the free
list. Restored protection would be
of great advantage to these farm
ers under normal conditions, besides
greatly adding to the Federal reve-
nues.
It would seem to need no argu-
ment to enforce the conclusion that a
Protective Tariff at the present time
would greatly increase Federal Reve-
nues. In the House debate pending
War Revenue bill it was repeatedly
stated that restored Protective rates
would double the present amount of
revenue received drought the Under
wood Free-Trade Tariff. No one dis
puted that assertion. It is undoubt-
edly true,-Ameriean Economist

SUIT AGAINST PEA GAMERS
Wisconsin Association of Fort Akin
son Is Called Combination in
Restraint of Trade.

Madison-That the Wisconsin Pea
Packers association of Fort Atkinson
is a combination in restraint of trade
organized to control the price of
canned peas, is set forth in complaint
filed by Atty-Gen. Walter c. Owen
in the circuit court of Dane county in
a suit asking for the revocation of the
charter of the association.
The complaint alleges that practic-
ally all the big pea Gamers are mem
bers Of the Wisconsin Pea Packers
association, and charges that this cor
poration was formed to control "the
output and to fix the prices of canned
peas and to afford cloak or cover
to such a conspiracy"
J. A. Hagemann of Fort Atkinson, is
secretary of the association, and A. P.
Hipke OF New Holstein is president.
The association is given twenty days
time to file its answer in court.

he received $1,000, or So bushel.

later in the season 400 bushels at $1.35
a bushel, the highest price known in
this section.

EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number Of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces Of Canada are easily explained
by the case Of Mr.. @. Lacy, late Of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin in the summer Of 1914 with
$500 available cash In his possession.
He rented a half-section Of partly I'M
proved land IN Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 260 with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate In buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
lie his profits-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
w. J. Winstead, of Brooks, Alberta,
says:
81 landed in Brooks, March 18th,
1918, with one car of household effects,
and nine head Of good horses, and less
than $500 in cash. I have put 81 500
worth Of improvements on my farm. /

horses, debts all paid, q new autome-
bile, and q good, stiff bank account
At present prices, can cash In for
$4,000. I am we'll satisfied, and ex-
pect to double this next year.
I have threshed altogether 1000
bushels of No. l Northern wheat from
two hundred acres, which went from
"a to Sc bushels per acre.
Seven thousand bushels of wheat, all
No. Northern, two thousand bushels
Of oats, $40 bushels Of fax, TOO bush.

well, figure this out for yourself at the
market price. I sold 800 bushels Of
wheat at $1.74H, am holding the re-
mainder for $500. Also all the OATS
barley and fax for higher prices"
Intelligent farming pays always ac-
cording to Alex. Waffle, prosperous
farmer. Some figures to prove his con-
tention that he has "made good"
In 1914 Mr.. Waite threshed 40 BUSH
els to the acre from a 30-acre crop.
This sold for $1.60A per bushel which,
after deducting seed, labor, Irvine,
threshing and freight, left clear profit
Of $50 per acre, or q total of 1000.

WILL OPPOSE REFERENDUM
Brewers of Wisconsin Will Make
Strong Fight Against Prohibition
Measure.

Madison-The brewers of Wisconsin
will contest the referendum prohibi-
ton bill and their line to opposition to
the bill is slowly developing. The fact
that large number of the legislature
who were expected to oppose the bill
are going on record for the bill has led
to rumors around Madison that the
brewers have decided not to oppose
the measure, but to make the fight in
the referendum for an overwhelming
vote in favor Of the wet side of the
prohibition question.
It can be stated definitely, however,
that the brewers will make a strong
fight to prevent the prohibition refer
endum passing the legislature and
their line of fight will be based large
ly on the great number of property
which would deteriorate in value
should a dry law become effective.
