Demand Emergency Legislation
for Protection Against
Falling Prices
ONE GROUP ASKS FOR
HIGH TARIFF ON WOOL
Houston Claims More Than
Fifty Per Cent of Exports
Are Agricultural
(By United Press)

! Washington, Dec. 9.-(By Ralph
H. Couch)-Farmers now demanding
emergency legislation as protection
against falling prices, raised crops
during the past two years which
brought more than seven billion dol
lars when sold for export, according
to an analysis Of foreign trade by
Secretary Of Treasury Houston.
Farmers are bringing pressure to
bear on congress to revise finances
so as to loan them money. Another
group wants high tariff on wool.
Houston has opposed the demands
and some government officials say
that to grant them would increase
food and clothing prices.
According to Houston, more than
so per cent of the United States for
eign commerce now consists of agri-
cultural products. During 1918 and
1919 this commerce piled up cash
balance in favor of the United States
of nearly nine billion dollars. For
eign nations now owe the business
men of the United States more
than $3,50O,OOO,OOO in addition to
nearly $1O,O00,OOO,O0O which their
governments owe the government of
the United States.
Houston's indicated conclusion
therefore is that the farmers now are
sharing to greater expense, than any
other class of business men, the great
est foreign trade in the history of the
United States.
Southern farmers who are insistent
on urging assistance to protect them
from selling cotton at 20 cents a
pound, instead of 40 cents, as of a
few months ago, were particularly
noticed by Houston.~ The value of
manufactured cotton exported from
the United States was $1,10O,O0O,0OO
during 1919. He pointed out that
during the same period exports of
bread stuffs were valued at 81 ,OOO,-
100000, meat and dairy at $1,O06,-
100000 and tobacco at $3.50. 100000.

BEMDu MAY Be NAMED
AS ASSEMBLY GROUNDS
Whiting Committee Inspects
Sites Near City for Religious
Assembly Grounds

The larger part of the luncheon
hour of the Civic and Commerce as
sociation Wednesday was given over
to the movement to locate a summer
assembly grounds on a suitable site
near Bemidji. The Fergus Falls dis
trict of the Methodist church, in
which Bemidji is situated, at a re-
cent conference meeting decided to
acquire suitable lsite in a centrally
located city for the holding of sum-
mer assemblies or conventions. Al
though under Methodist auspices and
administered by Methodist trustees,
it is planned to open it to any denom-
ination for the holding of conventions
or assemblies of a religious or Chau-
tauqua nature.
Three cities are contending for
the site, viz, Detroit, Park Rapids
and Bemidji. A committee of five
was appointed by the conference re-
ferred to above, which consisted of
w. l. Bland and Rev. H. H. Parish Of
Wadena, R. F. Seaton of Fergus Falls,
W. r. Briggs of Moorhead and Rev.
F.W. Hill Of Crookston. Four sep
arate sites were shown the committee
and the advantages Of Bemidji for
such an institution were pointed out.
The decision of the selecting commit
tee will be made public Immediately
after Jan. l, 1921.
If Bemidji is fortunate enough to
secure the project it will mean the
bringing to this city of hundreds Of
people Of the best kind from all parts
of the northern portion of the state
and will mean as we'll the locating of
many summer cottages in connection
with it.

INCREASE NTHEPH0NE
RATES BEING PROTESTED
Railroad and Warehouse Board
/. Swampsd With Protests
Against Raise
(By United PreSs)

St. Paul, Dec. 9.-The state rail-
road and warehouse commission is
being swamped with protests against
granting telephone companies per-
mission to increase their rates. Eight
teen protests were received today
from Duluth, Detroit and other
points served by the Northwestern
Telephone company.
This company has asked permits
sion to make an increase so as to add
to it's gross earnings. 1t has sent
out letters to it's subscribers pointing
out the necessity Tor the advanced
rates OF aproximately\40 per cent.
The letters aroused resentment, &C
cording to protests received by the
commission. The general trend OF
protest is that there is no justifica-
ton for even the present rates and
there is especially none for any pro-
posedsincrease.
Most protests complain of poor SER
vice. Among the protests received
was one from the Duluth Retail
Merchants association, which has
adopted resolution declaring there
is no justification for the increase.
manufacturers, lawyers, doctors; real
estate agents and others are on the
list Of those who have filed protests.
The commission has received no
protests in regard to the application
filed by the TT. Estate Telephone COM
pany, which has asked for permits
sion to increase its earnings approx
mately $1,50O,OO0 a year. This may
be due to the fact that this company
has not sent any letters to subscrib-
ers announcing its plans.
Hearings on the applications are
to be continued before the commits
sion on December Is and 16.
