Warrington, Dec. 16.-"I am in
favor of high protective tariff on
agricultural products, including ami
mails, as an emergency measure to
give the farmers relief from the
market slump" Representative
Fordney Of Michigan, chairman OF
the House ways and means commit
tee, said late today following an in
formal conference of his commit
tee with the Senate finance commit
tee.
"a tariff of this character" Mr..
Fordney continued, twill accomplish
the same purpose as sought by the
many embargo proposals and there
can be no objection from the admin
istration that it violates our COM
mercial treaties"
Senator McCumber of North Da-
kota acting chairman Of the finance
committee, said he still favors an
embargo, which he has been advocat-
ing almost daily on the floor OF the
Senate. However, he is willing to
accept an emergency tariff as sub
stitute. If the duties are made high
enough he said, the effect will be the
same as an embargo.
"We have just begun considering
the question: Mr.. McCumber SAID
of the informal conference. "We ar
ranged for a general conference for
tomorrow. Our purpose is to try TO
get together on a program that Will
have general support in both Houses.
After the joint meetings are conclud-
ed the house committee will frame a
bill"
Mr.. For6sney said these will be no
trouble getting rule for Immediate
consideration of the emergency tar
if bill once his committee comes TO
an agreement.
The railroads have agreed to
grant reduced fares to members OF
the annualm ceilings of Minnesota
breeders and agricultural assocla-
lions who attend Farmers and Home
Makers Week at University Farm,
St. Paul, January 3-8, 1921.
The fare will be one fare and a
half for the round trip, instead OF
two straight fares, to all who come
from points from which the one
way fare to the place OF meeting
St. Paul or Minneapolis, is 81 or
more.
When one wishing to take advan-
taee of the reduced fare buys a tick
Of from his home town to the cities
to attend the short course, however
he must also take pains to get a GER
tifcate and see that this is stamped
with the same date as his ticket. he
must also sign this certificate. IL
he cannot get certificate ne must
take receipt.
Then when he arrives at OniVer-
sity Farm he must present his Ger
tificate to r: M. West, registrar 1or
endorsement. Later, also, the certl-
fcate must be validated by rail-
road officer. When the certlncate
has been validated it is good for the
purchase of half-fare ticket home
bv the same route by which the trap
was made to the Twin cities.
The reduced fare to any one, now
ever is not guaranteed but, depends
on whether $50 persons purchase
tickets, and bring certificates with
them to the short course. No return
ticket will be sold at the hat-rate
until $50 certificates have been pre-
sented for Endorsement at University
Farm. Reduced fares are also not
available for children who travel at
half-rates or to others who travel
at special rates. The tickets with
certificates will be on sale January
IT inclusive, and return tickets will
be purchaseable if all conditions are
complied with January 3-12.
