FARM Frs r

J.. r. Howard, president Of the
American Farm Bureau federation,
who has been attending a series Of
tariff conferences in Washington, in.
sists that no tariff shall be passed
which will discriminate against farm
ers. He asserts that the farm bureau
will go ever further and ask for farm
products just as high a protective
tariff as the manufacturers Of raw
products receives. He the
farm bureau tariff policy as follows:
1T is generally conceded that the
present administration is a protective
one, and that the new tariff will be
protective. This being true, the
American Farm Bureau federation
must see to it that agriculture re-
ceives it's just recognition. Many of
our agricultural commodities are pro-
duced in surplus and we must meet
world markets. This is particularly
true of cotton, wheat, corn and vege-
table oils. On such commodities as
those a tariff is only helpful in secur-
ing a price sterilization.
Our largest and most important
crop is perhaps corn. We always have
produced a surpls Of it.. 1t is not in
frequent, however, for a crop Of corn
to be brought into one Of our ports
from Argentine and used as a lever.
age to depress the market out Of all
proportion to the volume of corn
brought in. Hence, while we meet the
world market On corn, on the long
swing a tariff which would prevent
dumping would eliminate to some ex-
tent violent temporary and unecO-
nomic market fluctuations. The same
is true of a large number Of other
products.
The American farmers are perhaps
more interested in vegetable oil than
in any other n commodity, because
it Is a product or by-product of cotton,
corn, live stock and milk. The present
tariff bill carries a tariff on %cOcoanut
and some other vegetable oils, but
it allows copra, which is dry cocoanut
from which oil is pressed, to come in
free. The result would be Of course,
that any benefit from tariff on cocoa
nut oil would be violated.
Using this as an example We have
determined a policy by which we will
demand that il %cocoanut oil is pro-
|, tected, then the products from which
! cocoanut oil might be extracted must
also be protected. If on the other hand
, cocoanut oil or the products from
which 1t is made, one or both, are
unprotected. then the products which
are manufactured from that oil must
, also be on the free list. The principle

EXPECT 800

Fully 800 South Dakota high school
athletes are expected to participate
in the official annual track and field
meet of the State High School Athletic
association on the State college field
May 10. Forty-three teams have al
ready signified their intentions of en-
tering.
Last year the association had but
IS members while this year $50 high
schools have joined. There were 230
30 or more are entered this year, as
the management expects, it means that
10 or II points will be enough to win
the meet. In fact, Coach West predicts
that any team which can make -
points will take first honors this year.
1t is quite possible hat some good
man, such as Lindekugel Of Spencer,
may win the meet sin%glehanded for
his school. Ryger of Brookings last
year made enough points, alone, to
win honors for his school.
Bookings was first in the 1921 meet,
w..h spencer and Sioux Falls, respec-
lively, second and third. Athletes who
in this meet tie or break a state record
will have their expenses paid TO
Stages meet in Chicago. Winners Of
first, second and third places, get, re-
spectively, gold, silver and bronze
medals. Winners of the meet get a
loving cup and the team winning the
relay gets a cup.

Ten high school in the Sioux Val

expects to win the meet. H~utchendOrf
is the leading man on the Brookings
team and is working to break the state
record in the state high jump. He is
also leaping farther in the broad jump
than any competitor he is likely to
meet.
Whitehead is clearing the high
sticks in fast time and should be an
easy winner. He took first in the
state meet last year and has improved
considerable since. Herman ranks as
the best half miller in the state. Ken
dali is stepping the 100-yard dash in
close to state record time. He is also
a sure point winning in the low hurd-
les. Sherman has made great pro
gress this spring and is expected to
lead the field in the low hurdles. He
is also a top-notch dash man. Blakes-
lee is doing better than ever In the
mile and is cutting down his time be-
low five minutes.
The Bookings high school relay
team, composed Of Sherman, Kendall,
Whitehead and Pettis, are running IN
perfect form and will doubtless cap
ture all honors in this event in the

judged and ribbons awarded.
Among the furniture exhibited by
the high school boys there were pieces

you see in the furniture store. The
cedar chests were especially pretty. A
great deal of credit must go to ID. n
Ling, the instructor in manual training
for teaching the boys such high clas!
workmanship.
The girls exhibit was equally in
teresting, showing all n of gar
ments including hats, which demon
strated the cleverness with which tn,

VIENNA PUTS TAX ON RENTS
Revenue to Be Used in Effort to
Build Homes for the
Homeless.

Vienna Vienna is attempting to
solve the housing problem by putting
a heavy tax on rents from which it
hopes to collect 1,5OO,OOO,OOO kronen
year, which sum is to be used to
construct dwellings to be rented with
out profit.
The state government is strongly
social democratic and opponents of
the measure, who are chiefly property
owners, denounce it as specialization
of housing.
The tax is made payable by the ten
ant. The lowest tax rate would be
100 per cent In rent amounting to
5000 kronen a year and 1t would in
crease until on surtax basis the
maximum tax would be 1000 per cent
of the rent paid by the tenant.
