PLAYING THE HYPoCRITE

We read in news reports how five big New York dailies are using German news print paper because they can buy it at $50 ton against domestic price of about $80 at pres ent. German paper mill workers are getting weekly wage with a gold equivalent of $5.84 which is but little more than the average daily wage of the American paper mill worker
 American paper manufacturers state that under cost of production the German price is $15 a ton below manufacturing expenses here and many mills cannot break even at $80 ton of four cent paper.
 We cannot have the highest wages, the shortest hours, and at the same time, the lowest commodity prices in this nation. It is nothing to brag about for an American pub fisher to buy foreign newspaper under exist ing conditions unless he, at the same time, has the nerve to advocate that American mills manufacture on the same cost basis as for eign ones.

TO EACH HIS SHARE

Secretary of War Weeks openly declares that, should another war come, he would be in favor of conscripting every man in the country between the ages of IS and 60 He would say to each what that particular individual was to do, either on the fighting line or in the industrial support at home The secretary believes that such course would keep prices down, reduce profiteering, and prevent inf]a- ton of wages. If such a system had been in force during the World war Eve would have avaided difficulties through which we are now going,' asserts MT. Weeks, "and with which we are not through yet. I hope the young men of the nation will keep this in mind, because it is the most important thing. Otherwise good men volunteer and the best in the country sacrifice themselves at the out set We want to have every citizen of the United States to bear his share when the trial comes. ;

 Further says Finney, the people are taking advantage of the leasing law of February, 1920 He pointed out that in twenty-two months there have been filed between II 00O and 1o000 applications for permits and leases in eighteen states and in the Territory of Alaska. To date, he said nearly 5000 pros pecting permits have been issued, as we'll as 15o leases to producing properties, on which there are some 600 oil and gas wells.

FOREST ROAD FUNDS SHOULD NOT BE
 DIVERTED

The provisions of the latest Curry bill on Alaska, making it possible to divert elsewhere funds appropriated by Congress to National Forest areas for their development, are, of course, highly objectionable to all of Southern Alaska and to those portions of the Third dl- vision in which is situated the Chugach Na- tional Forest Upon the development of the forest areas these sections are dependent for their future in a very large measure. In no other way can any of the cost of road con- struction be assessed against the forests nor is the Federal government likely to make any other provision than that which has already been made
 rc argue that certain other sections of Alas ka needs roads more than do the forest areas is to beg the question. Even if one should ad- init that such is the case, which is not being donc one should not reason from that premise to the conclusion that road funds possessed by the latter should be taken away from 1t and given to the former. The relative needs of the several natural geographic and economic divisions of the Territory have not the slight est bearing on the question of where the For est Fund shall be expended That fund was allotted to ceartain areas in Alaska not because they happened to be part of the Territory but by reason of the fact that they comprise with in them National Forest areas. It is just as reasonable to say that certain parts of Alaska need roads more than do the Forest areas of Washington, Oregon, any other state, there fore part of the money allotted for them shall be given to those sections of Alaska. The resulting injustice from such suppostious procedure would be no greater than that which will inevitably follow the enactment of the legislation proposed by MT. Curry.
 The matter of who shall do the actual road building is not greatly of concern to Alaskans as long as roads are built efficiently For the past several years there has been a general system of cooperative road construction that has worked out pretty satisfactorily to all concerned. If it is desired to consolidate all agencies into one, it is reasonable to believe that something in the way of efficiency would result and some loss of motion eliminated. But m such consolidation the control of the Forest Fund should not be lost to the Forest Service, at least such control as bestows on it the right to say where the money shall be expended and approximately how much. The system is not an unnatural one. The Forest Service is charged with the responsibility of developing' the National Forests. That development de- bends to a great degree on means of communi- cation and transportation and those in charge of the forests should not be dependent upon any independent organization for them-~,Ju- neaa Empire.

Steady Market for Draft Horses

Animal industry faculty men at
University Farm believe that every
farmer, whether he is raising horses
or not, should be booster for horses.
Every time horse is replaced by a
truck or tractor, they say, not only is
the market for another horse lost, but
also the market for at least two tons
of corn or oats and three tons of hay
every year.
when you figure the amount of
feed for which the market has been
lost" they say, "by the replacement
of horses with tractors or trucks you
will find that it aggregates more than
the total export of oats, corn and hay
from the country, also it has been a
considerable factor in lowering the
prices of these three crops.
There is no longer choice as to
what type of horses to raise. The
draft type suitable for heavy work is
the only horse for which there is a
steady market"

ed unfairly on the terminal market
can appeal Immediately for investi-
cation and redress without the long

You demanded classification of
northern Minnesota lands to protect
the farmer who hopes to make home
for himself in these new regions. AL
ready the classification of >Beltrami
county land has been completed;
some work has been done in other
counties, and it will be continued

ed legal recognition for properly con-

mitted to combine their credit and
capital for development purposes; a
law authorizing the issuance of bonds
for development purposes and extend
ing to such development the existing

answer to your request.

to the state constitution authorizing
such a system will be submitted to
the voters of the state.

SENATE AUTHORIZES
GRAIN TRADE PROBE
Speedy Action Follows National De-
mand Suggested by Grain Grow
y ers' President

Passage by the United States SEN
ate of resolution authorizing fed
eral investigation of the export grain
trade is the direct result Of thousands
of letters and kilograms sent to
Washington by grain producers, at
the suggestion of G. H. Gustafson, ac-
cording to northwest headquarters Of
the U. s. Grain Growers, Inc. Mr..
Gustafson, Grain Growers president,
three weeks ago launched a national
campaign to obtain early action on
this resolution, charging that present
"ruinous prices" were due to a.
smashing" process, despite an export
demand that in 1921 absorbed 90
100000 bushels of wheat more than
in 1920.
In Minnesota, presidents of county
farm bureaus responded vigorously
to Mr.. Gustafson's appeal. ..,
The resolution authorizes the Fed
eral Trade commission to inquire into
the margin between farm and export
prices of market manipulation, pro-
fits and losses of grain export firms,
and methods used by foreign buyers.
The resolution was introduced last
summer by Senator E. F. Ladd, and
was "pigeon-holed" in committee un-
til the u. S. Grain Growers launched
a nationwide campaign for it's pas

eliminated, and products marketed in
quantity and under conditions which
will assure the greatest possible re-
turn to the producer. You declared
that agriculture can be made perman-
ent and profitable only when the pro-
Queer receives the cost of production
plus a reasonable profit. That funda-
mental principle must be insisted up
on and fought for if necessary. No
fair-minded man can say that the
farmers of Minnesota are demanding
legislation as the panacca for their
troubles while falling to do every
thing in their power to remedy con-
ditions by their own organized eco
nomic efforts. The Minnesota Farmer
is asking no favors. He is taking his
products onto the terminal markets
in open and fair competition with the
existing system of distribution. He
wants only square deal.
f. you demanded that terminal ex-
changes dealing in farm products be
compelled to admit farmers cooper
alive agencies to all the rights of
membership. The laws of Minnesota
now recognize the justice of this de-
mand, and the action of the state leg
islature in passing this law undoubt-
eddy was one of the most powerful in
f1uences in causing congress to pass
federal legislation granting farmers
the same right. So far, no farmers
organization in Minnesota has seen
fit to exercise this right; but the law
is on the statute books; it was passed
in response to the overwhelming de-
mand of farmers expressing themsel-
YES effectively for the first time
through an organization big enough
and strong enough to make their
wishes respected.
I'm our last convention, you called
for more reliable and more readily
available reports on current market
conditions, and ask that the state and
federal government unite in issuing
such reports. The work of the state
and federal government in this field
in Minnesota is now about to be con-
solidated, with the expense to be di-
vided between them.
You demanded revision Of the cold
storage laws of Minnesota. That de-
mand also has been granted. Dealers
in all farm products except hay grain
and livestock, which already were I'M
der state jurisdiction, have been put
under the regulation of the state de-
partment of agriculture. In response
to the organized demand of Mime
sofa farmers, the last legislature
wrote into our statutes one of the
most effective cold storage laws ever
enacted in the United States. It pro-
tects the interests of both producer
and consumer by compelling the Ia
heling of cold storage products where
they come into competition with pro-
ducts fresh from the farm.
you suggested Cancellation to
give justice quickly in all disputes
resulting from purchase and sale of
the necessities of life. That idea has
