ESTIMATE SET At $4,5oo,ooo
Tracactions Exceed 1921 in Receipts
and Volumes.

So. St. Paul-Farmers of Minnesota
and adjoining states will realize about
$4,500,000 from hog sales at South st.
PAM this month according to esti.
mates made by yard experts. This
will be an increase#of approximately
$1,500,0o0 over the returns obtained
on hog sales at the local market the
same month last year.
Following closely the announcement
made by the Ninth Federal Reserve
bank in it's monthly review of North
west conditions, the South st. Paul re-
port on hogs confirms very definitely
the statement that: the agricultural in
dustry Of this region is rapidly getting
back on it's feet. ! At the >stockyards
the continued strength of the hog mar
ket, which for three months has been
far above the pre.war level, is regard
ed as certain indication of returning
prosperity on the farms and as one of
the main factors in increasing the buy
ing power Of the rural population of
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Wiscon-
sin. -.

GRAIN MEN LOSE RATE FIGHT
Joint Proportional Schedule Proposed
in Fall Is AnnulIed.

Washington - Minneapolis milling
and grain interests have lost their
fight to have the railroads permitted
to establish through overhead all-rail
rates on shipemnts of grain and grain
products to the Eastern seaboard to
meet the competition of the lake and
rail rates from Duluth via the Great
Lakes.
The Interstate Commerce commits
sion made public an order cancelling
joint proportional rates which were
proposed. last fall. The proposed rates
have been suspended by an order, filed
last October 81. They are now can
celled altogether.
When the joint proportional rates
were first proposed they would have
meant reduction Of cents bushel
on wheat from Minneapolis territory
to the Atlantic seaboard.
The reduction on =. coarse grains
would have amounted to 5 cents and
on grain products to 8 cents. !

United States Railroad Labor board.
The decreases. which average s
cents an hour in the majority Of cases,

decision are extended to other deci-

out in railway circles that much Of
the $600,0O0,000 increase given by the
board in 1920 would be wiped out and
wages restored to a level which rail-
way officials had told the board would
lead to new era of development and

Fairmont Sentinel:-The greatest
benefits Of the Indiana and Pennsy1.
yania primaries are not the nomination
Of Beverage and Pinchot, but the i'm.
petus given to discussion of, the value
Of the primary.
Without spectacular instances to
focus attention on the primary, it
would have fallen before the assault
Of organization in politics. So deter
mined has been the propaganda against
the primary, and so strong was the >re.
dictionary swing of the country fol-
three or four years, that it seemed ell
modern devices to give the people a
fair chance in elections would be
junked before the masses were aroused
to the peril. 49,.
Now instead of indifference there is
acute realization Of the danger in.

THE PRoFITEERs' TARIFF

xk1kS E6Vk xIkA66oH xxA1kAk
Here are the latest utterances Of
leading Republican and Independents
papers on the Fordney McC umber tar.
if bill:
New York Herald (Rep.) Ut is
about year since Congress passed
the emergency tariff act to protect
the American farmer from being un.
dersold in his own home market by
flood Of agricultural products from
across the northern border. The re-
suits are roughly covered in the
trade between the Dominion and the
United States for the twelve months
to April LIST last. They show that while
the emergency tariff has been in ef-
feet we have lost nearly 100000, 900
more in sales to Canada than Canada
has lost in sales to us. And to that
the existing emergency tariff is gen.
tie tap compared with the blow the
Fordney and McCumber schedules
could give to our whole foreign trade.
Indianapolis News (Ind. )-For the
policy to which it is sought to commit
the Republican party-the policy OF
price-raising-is very dangerous, and
especially SO in a year in which a
congressional election is to be held.
Pie Question presented is difficult
whether to 90 through with bad bust
ness, or to withdraw from it. The
mistake was in turning the fortunes
of the party over to Fordney, and
men of his school. Probably not in
the history of the country has there
been a worse tariff bill than that re-
ported to the Senate by Senator Nc
Cumber and his committee, unless it be
the one prepared by Mr.. Fordney's
committee, and passed by the House OF
Representatives.
Brooklyn Eagle (Ind.) If the Re-
publican leaders Of Congress cannot
see what is visible to Republican
newspapers of distinction all over this
country they are in a sorry plight.
Those newspapers protest against the
tariff bill not Because they wish to
make trouble for the Re publican par
ty, but because they know that per-
sistence in folly by the party itself
will inevitably lead to disaster at the
polls. =. .,>.2 ~: u 'N1l
Chicago Tribune (Rep.)-Absolutely
no appreciation Of change in: inter
national trade relations brought on by
the war was displayed. The tariff
makers, led by Fordney and McCum-
Der, had learned nothing and forgotten
nothing. i: Special interests ap-
peared before the committee as al
ways, argued their points for protec-
ton of their own industries through a
prohibitive tariff, and for the most
part got what they wanted. Each
interest saw only as far as it's own
nose and disregarded all those around
it. :.-: = The potash interest. ::
obtained a high tariff to keep
out importations of this commodity,
thus raising the farmers cost and re-
ducing any probable advantage to be
obtained from high agricultural tar
iff. And the consumer pays the cost,
while trade is destroyed. ThS
bill reeks with such errors and injus
tees. The public is Disguised. Only
the many individual interests which
have been taken care of are satisfied.

LeSueur Center der-Democrat:-
Here is a tip for the coming legislature
and the State Highway Department.
The automobile law of the state of
Iowa provides for the publications Of a
list of delinquent auto tax payers.
Presumably on the correct theory that
persons who cannot afford to pay the
license tax are far better off without
an auto, it is provided for Immediate
sale for taxes, subject to redemption
within a specified time. In addition to
affording means Of procedure to col
lect, the publication law also provides
information to the general public as to
just who is trying to ''get by" without
paying their just auto tax. Publica.
tion of such list in Minnesota now
would be interesting reading, and it is
safe to say that, there are few commu-
mites without de1inquents in this line.
