President Praises
 4 M0ri0nIa0 Boy

One of the last acts of President Wilson was the signing of letters of commendation to the Boy Scouts of America who won distinction in the sale of Thrift and War Savings Stamps about two years ago. 4 proud possessor (snd justly sol of one of these letters is Marvin (Buster) Newborn, of this city, who ranks first in Arkansas in the sale of stamps and seventh in the United States. The Presidents letter fol- lows:
 The White House, Washington,
 March 2, 1921. My dear young friend:
 It gives me pleasure to tell you of my deep appreciation of the in- telligent and conscientious manner in which you, as a member of the Boy Scouts of America, have secur- ed subscriptions for Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
 You have won the distinction of having secured more subscriptions during. the 1918 War-Savings cam paign than any other Scout in your state.
 You have exercised courage, .cour- tesy, thought and untiring effort and in so doing have set an example for all boys-an example that will surely aid in the growth of val table qualities of mind and heart.
 thank you in the name of the whole country, and wish to con- yey to your parents, your com munity, and your Boy Scout organ ization, my appreciation of the train ing that has developed in you such g fine spirit of wholesome and loy- al citizenship.
 Cordially and sincerely yours, (Signed) WOODROW WILSON,

protect the factory from for eign cmpetition it is also eco- ironically sound to protect the farm, field and ranch from for eign competition. A system or plan that lays a duty upon boots and shoes and clothing but not upon wool and hides is a discrimination. A system that would raise revenue for the support of the Government by levying a revenue duty upon boots, shoes and clothing but not upon wool, hides or belts, cannot be explained or defend ed. The farmers and stock raisers in my judgment should insist that whatever may be the Tariff policy of our political parties, the ranchman, the farmer and stockraiser should have the same measure of treat 1i:ent that is extended to the manufacturer.
 One of the vital principles of ernment is that the burdens and benefits of Government should De distributed equally and fair ly to all citizens, but it is a sin gular and diScreditablec circum- stance in our history, that the advocates of high tariff side by side with the advocates of low tariffs have Us tally agreed up- on one point, to wit, that the raw materials for the factory should be on the free list or if dutiable at all, the manufactur- CT should be given a compensa- tory duty equaling the amount

Congress indeed would have passed the bill but for the eff cient action and superb ability of Representative Hayden and some other Representatives from the West who defeated the bill. Fortunately however, the officials in the Bureau of Forestry know there is a vast difference between the grazing of livestock on Forest lands and Indian lands in Arizona, and grazing on the pasture lands of the Mississippi Valley. Some substantial reductions have already been made in grazing fees on Indian Reserva- tions in Arizona and I look for ward to reductions on other In- dian Reservations and on Ma tional Forests, but your Honor able Bodies should present your case upon this subject to the Hon. Secretary of Agriculture in it's strongest lights and at an

PACKERS

The Packer Bill in a modified form has passed the Senate and of course you are familiar with it's provisions as it has been the subject of much controversy There was a wide difference of opinion amongst the Stockmen of Arizona on this bill and I, of course, respect the view of every citizen of my state yet an investigation conducted by the Federal Trade Commission, of the meat packing industry, dis closed that the stockraisers were at the mercy of the meat packers and I felt it to be my duty to vote for the Bill.
 CONCLUSION --
 I have already written too long a letter and will close with the statement that for years and years I have heard that the ultimate consumer should be considered at all hazards. Of course, the consumer should be considered, but it is also necess- ary to consider the producers, for if the producers are crushed and destroyed then there will be nothing for the consumer to consume.
 With great respect,
 Cordially yours

surely that the Tariff Question Is more of a business than a po- 1itical question. I am familiar with the history of tariffs in the U. $. and 1 am unable for the moment to recall any tariff leg iSlation, whether high tariff or low tariff, that did not discrimi- nate against the farmer and the stockraiser.
 The manufa curing interests have practically controlled our American tariff policies and neither of the two political par ties have been free from error respecting the subject of tar ifs.
 The policy of the manufact- tlrer has always been to force the farmers to compete in an products. The manufa cturers desire cheap food and clothing for their factories, but they de- mand and receive high prices for their manufactured articles.
 The mistake of our tariff leg islation for the past 100 years has been that it grossly dis criminated against the farmer and the stock raiser and in fav- or of the manufacturer, that is to say, it placed a high import duty on manufactured articles, but as a rule it either left the raw material (the wool, hides, cotton, sheep and cattle) on the free list or placed a very small duty thereon.

I voted for the farmers Elmer gency Tariff Bill, and whilst 1t was not a scientific bill nor ad- equate to give the full measure of relief to which the farmer was entitled, 1t was supported for the reason that our agrlcul- tural interests were bleeding at every artery. What l shall do on the main Tariff bill, depends of course, upon the nature and structure of the bill. If 1t should grossly discriminate against the stockraiser and the farmer and in favor of the man. ufacturer as has been done so often in the past, I naturally will have but little stomach for it.
 The stockraisers occupy a different status from the salar- jed classes in this; the stock raiser may ride the range, rain or shine, he may be the most in dustrious flock-master, he may scorn delights and live labori- ous days, yet when the time comes to sell his cotton, wheat, wool, cattle or hides, the mar ket may go to pieces within one week and leave him nothing for his years work and sacri- flee; therefore, since the far mer and stockraiser must com bat with the forces of nature whose processes cannot be al tered nor averted and he must in addition thereto deal with the grain gamblers and pack ing house monoplies it would seem wise and just to extend every sensible encouragement and support to the farmer and stockraiser.
 TRUTH IN FABRIC BILL
 The Truth in Fabric Bill, re- quiring the manufacturer to mark shoddy as shoddy and pure woolens as pure woolens, is gathering strength and I hope for it's passage in the not distant future.
 DEFLATION
 The action of the Federal Reserve Board in ordering a de- f1atlon last autumn was wrong. Defation would have come quickly enough and it was a stupid folly, a tragic blunder that the order for deflation was published broadcast by the Fed eral Reserve Board just at the time when the cotton and wool crops were ready to be sold and the mutton and beef ready for market. The burden of this defiation fell wholly upon the farmer and stockraiser and al most crushed him. As if to | make amends in some way how ever, for the ruinous order of | defation, the Federal Reserve Board has or will pool Fifty Million ($5O,OOO,OOO) Dollars, SO that long time credits may be to the stock interests.
 GRAZING FEES ON RE-
 SERVES
