GOOD CRIT-PoOR JUDGMENT

P.J. Seberger of St. Cloud is still Of the opinion
that he would like to run for congress this fall We
admire his grit but must say that his judgment is
lacking. There is not man IN the district who
defeat Harold Knutson for congress at this time
If there was need for change there might be some
call for another candidate, but the rank and file are
we'll satisfied with their present position, where he
has done excellent work for his constituents.

ENJOYS HEALTHY GROWTH

Not many years ago Bemidji had within its gates
many who nwardly felt that this citys growth had
reached q climax, and that with the going OF the
lumber industry, it would become q settlement Of
few hundred people. ~'~% Eth*-
To-day you can find no one who thinks Of Be-
midi il, terms of hundreds, but all predict its fu-
ture in terms Of thousands. The people OF Be-
!: midi have faith in the city and in themselves
The business men in particular should have credit
for Installing this faith in the city and community
round about. They have looked into the future a
bit farther and have established the kind of insti-
tutions that make for better and bigger city.
We are proud of our merchants and Lave a right
to be- Tourists who come here are amazed at the
splendid stores and stocks carried by our mer-
chants "Why," said one woman today, "you have
wonderful stores here. buy just as good
things in Bemidji as can in my home in Mime
apolis. And they have such fine variety, too. The
prices are just low if not lower than the larger
city prices" -. "a
Our merchants are progressive lot and deserve
the confidence Of the people in this community.
When we hear statements of the kind above cited,
we begin to more fully realize that Bemidji' is 3
leader in the merchandising business. - =. =: -
The principal advantage Of our business men is
that they are not 4 selfish lot They, do work for
their own interests, but when itais matter Of the
ctys welfare, personal interest is thrown aside and
all cooperate for the good of the CITY,. There is
no other way to figure out the splendid and rapid
growth Of Bemidji. The merchant appreciates the
fact that the and prosperity Of every other
merchant spells success and prosperity pr the city
and himself - IT. ), N, ~ .<, ;{s !

Amounting to 10 Million
Tons Annual Production
Have Been Executed.
tBy The Associated Pres, J

Cleveland, Ohio, Ang. 16. (by the
Associated Press. Before leaving
for Philadelphia tonight to take
part in the anthracite negotiations
there tomorrow. John l.. Legis,
president of the United Mine Work.
'ers of America, announced that ad-
ditional agreements amounting to
approximately 100000 tons an
nual soft coal production were exc
cuted here today in the settlement
in part, of the bituminous coal
strike.
Acceptance of the approximate
ly 60,000,000 tons annual produc-
ton represented in the conference
of miners and operators yesterday
and the executive of additional
agreements today involving some
thing more than ten million tons
production gives the settlement i'm
petus that will be Irresistible Mr..
Lewis said in a statement today.
He predicted that a general ac-
ceptance of agreements by practi
cally all operating units in the or
ganized sections of the bituminous
industry would be in effect within
a short time.
This constitutes an object les
son that will be especially helpful
in adjusting the strike in the an
thracite fields" MIR. Lewis said.
Despite unfavorable economic
and with tremendous po-
litical and financial influences
raised against us, we are emerg-
ing from the conflict victorious"
the statement said.
He said the miners had won the
three main and principal issues
involved in the strike of $4,000
miners in the anthracite and btu
minous mining industries.
"The miners have won their con-
tention against the idea of single
state settlements, with their unions
split up into 80 or more segre gat-
ed groups" the statement said.
1.-THE miners have won their fight
against reduction of wages in the
industry,
"The miners have likewise wen
their fight for retention Of "o'loe-
tive bargaining as against suhstitu-
ton of arbitration.

IMP POSITION Of
DUTY ON CRUDE
OIL IS FAv0RED D
Senator HarreId Advocates
Tariff LevieS as the Only
Means of Protecting the
Independents.
(By The Associated PressD

Washington, Aug. 16.-Tariff
duties on crude petroleum. and
fuel oil were advocated today
in the senate by Senator Harreld,
republican. oklahoma, as the only
means of protecting the independ-
ent oil products of the United
States against what he described
as a monopoly by the Standard,
Il. l.. Doheny and Royal Dutch
Shell Oil companies.
Renewing his charge of last
August that the Standard, Do
heny and Royal Shell companies
were seeking to monopolize oil
production in this country, Sen
ator Harreld said that since that
time, the Royal Dutch Shell had
taken over the Union Oil COM
pany of Delaware, thus getting
control of $4,000, 600 worth of
properties that the Standard and
Dohepy companies had acquired
the Teapot Dome in Wyoming.
and other valuable holdings in
California and that the Standard
of Indiana had acquired 80 per
cent of the stock of the Mid
west Refinery company.
The oklahoma senator also as
serted that during the past year
when oil prices were low the
monopolists did succeed in pur-
chasing the holdings of a great
many independent operators at
practically forced sales and at a
very small percentage of the
value of such properties"
Charging that the three COM
panies he named, had a monopoly
of production of oil in Mexico,
Mr.. Harreld told the senate it
was their policy to charge all
that the tariff would bear and
that consequently the price would
not be affected by a tariff. He
argued that on the other hand
the tariff would bring to the
government huge amount of
revenue and at the same time
protect the thousands of small
independent producers in the
United States.
Harreld said the fact that the
representatives of the companies
had not appeared before the fl
nance committee to oppose the
proposed rates on petroleum and
fuel oil Shows how completely
and shrewd1y these people oper-
ate"
"They had consumers of fuel
oil appear before the committee"
he continued, "in the form of
railroad companies, represented
by one Mr.. Thorn and various
other users of fuel oil from vari-
Gus parts of the country and OPP
pose the imposition of this
tariff"

Members of State Tax Commission Will Go

. Conditions; School Budgets to Be Taken

on a par with that of the II coun-
ties which have sent in their rolls
for checking and revision, the de-
crease as compared with last year
will be approximately $4,000, 900.
This does not include the reduc-
tions just allowed on cattle and
livestock, which will make the de-
crease about $25,000,0O0 greater.
On account of the gravity of the
situation, the commission will not
adjourn now. The members will
go into the dry farming districts
and spend until August "a in
studying conditions. Returning to
Santa Fe on August 25, they will
take UP the school budgets, let
ting the examination and approval
of the county budgets go over un-
til the September meeting. First
consideration will be given to the
school budgets on request of John
Joerns, state educational auditor,
for the reason that some of the
school boards are beginning to
make contracts with their teach
ers.
There is no need to hurry ap-
proval of the county budgets be-
cause the county assessors will not
be able to extend the rolls until
changes have been made on ac-
count of the reductions allowed on
cattle and grazing lands. The Sep
tember hearing is scheduled for
the third Monday, the 1tSh, but
probably will be postponed to al
low members to attend the nation
al tax conference, which opens on
that day.
A vast deal of this increase is
attributed to the prolonged drouth,
which has burned up crops and
ranges, greatly lowering the value
OF cattle.
