to use 1t all?
fear the sugar company is some
thing like the tannery organization
of eastern Canada that friend of
mine here was telling me of in
November, 1920.
He is one of the largest shippers
Of raw hides from western Canada
and there had been no market for
them for about year and he went
east to see if he could not find an
outlet for some of them and the
backing houses in the west had about
all their storage facilities filled with
hides.
He said while he was in the east
he called on one of his old school
mates and found him holding the
position of president of an organiza-
tion which had been formed by six
of the largest tanneries of Canada.
This organization did the buying
and selling for all of them and was
of sufficient size to conrol the prices
of raw hides and also of leather
He told my friend during their
visit what fine business they had
during the war, and that besides
paying very handsome dividends
they were able to place at rest, $45,-
OO0, 900.
Then he told of the way the trade
had been paralyzed when the ex-
change rates turned against them
so that they could not export any
more leather goods and that they
had simply been laying still, but
said he, eve have decided that we
have got to take our loss along with
others in order to get back on a
pre-war basis and at our directors
meeting last week the board set
aside $3,000,000, which we expect
to be forced to sacrifice on our pres
ent stock in getting back on to a
pre-war basis"
The sugar company surely made
big money during the war time, but
l do not see how they have been
able to lose very much yet in work
ing back to normal prices.
From reports we get here from
various parts of the United States
it would seem that the bulk of the
farmers who made money during the
war have lost it all, or the bulk of
it in getting back to normal times
again, and l know that the farmers
and stockmen on this side of the
line have had that experience.
All raw materials have slumped
to nothing but the manufactured
articles have come back very slowly
because they are protected.
Raw hides have been down to
three to five cents per pound now
for nearly two years and yet leather
is selling by the side at from ninety
five cents to a dollar pound.
1t would take team of horses
to haul enough hides to market to
buy pair of calfskin shoes and yet
there was never time in the history
of the world that so little labor was
required to make pair of shoes.
would not be surprised to see
the tariff increased on sugar so that
the laboring man might pay little
more for the dividends of the Gin
FAINT sugar trust"

THE TARIFF FIGHT

Senator Capper is making a gallant
fight for he farmers in connection
with tariff legislation, tearing off the
mask Of the American valuation plan,
which he describes as a cloak to hide
the enormous tariff imposed in the
interest of certain manufacturers.
These manufacturers, Mr.. Capper ex-
plains, want still higher duties and
the only way they expect to get them
is to have them appear in the guise
of higher values. Thus in n fell
swoop, the Kansas senator has pune
tured the spurious patriotic cry for
an "all American tariff" The cheap
appeal, he says, must not influence
the decision OF the lawmakers. There
have been too many blunders made
as a result of popular clamor aroused
by some catch phrase. American
valuation by increasing the height OF
the tariff wall, would limit the ex.
portation Of American agricultural
products in exchange for the manu-.
featured goods bought in foreign
countries. 1t is the old battle-the
manufacturer against the farmer
the battle that has been won by the
manufacturer for years, because the
farmers were u~norganized. Condi-
tons, however, seem to be changing.
Senator Capper appears as a new
Richmond in the field and unless all
signs fail, he will win a victory for the
men who produce the wealth of the
nation. If American valuation is to
be used rs a method of concealing
increases in protective tariff rates,
then 1t is clearly inimical to the
farmer and should have no place in
our government system.

TOWN AND COUNTRY

Hendricks Pioneer-"It used to take
either a fire or a funeral to get our
people together. Naturally they did
not do much in those days, except
to keep fires from spreading, and
get the dead people decently buried.
Now they all come out to the meet
ings of II community organizations.
I'VE used to speak OF town people
and country people, now we talk
about Montgomery county people.
The towns and rural districts are all
working for the same ends, as they
have found out that their interests
are identical"
The above paragraphs are taken
from an address delivered by a com
munity worker in another state. They
show the kind Of spirit that is OBJ
literating the old lines that used to
separate town and country people.
The curse of many towns in past
years has been rivalry and antagon-
ism between neighborhoods. Every
district would get the idea that i
had not had its fair share OF public
improvements. They would all de-
vote so much energy to scrapping
over the location of schoolhouses or
village buildings, that they had none
left with which TO promote ends of
common advancement.
y spirit OF jealousy and contention
frequently existed between towns
and village centers and the surround.
ing country. The towns were indif.
ferent to the welfare Of the farmers,
and often secretly laughed at them.
The rural people resented this atti-
tude, and would tend to oppose the
things the town wanted done. Per
sonal a~ntagonisms were created that
worked against harmonious co-opera-
ton.
The movement for better country
life has been given a tremendous
boost by the Get Together movement
between the towns and the surround
ing country districts. The business
men Of the towns are taking hold to
help the farmers put their operations
on a sound basis. Everything they
do on this line is for their own work
interest, since the prosperity of a
town center depends on the prosper
ity of the surrounding country.

opment that has been made so far in
the effort TO make the ports OF the
great lakes accessible, to ocean going
boats"
What has been a handicap to the
great agricultural section OF the
United States, the middle west, its
enormous distance from tidewater,
has been a distinct advantage OF
coastal points. The advantage en-
joyed by seaport towns, especially of
the Atlantic seaboard, would diminish
somewhat with the seaway completed
to permit the calling Of ocean going
vessels at great lakes ports. Therein
lies the opposition of the east in con-
gress. That opposition ONE chiefly
later ii will be nationally recognized
that selfish ends must not be allowed
to retard programs which serve the
whole country. Once the middle west
is, to all intents and purposes, in ac-
tual contact with ocean shipping "A
greater prosperity will come to the
heart Of the country, and that will be
reflected in all directions from coast
to coast and from the lakes to the
gulk. The seaway has been pro-
nounced practicable and ought to be
constructed just as soon as the two
governments can get at the work.

AUTO REPLACES RAILROAD

Aberdeen Journal-Down in south
eastern Nebraska, the Missouri Pa.
cific railway is seeking permission
from the state railway commission to
abandon passenger trains entirely on
a branch line through a thickly popu.
lated section Of the state on The
grounds that good roads and automo
biles nave rendered the patronage
service so small that it is impossible
to make the passenger trains pay ex-
penses. Very likely if the request of
the Missouri Pacific is granted, a
number of other branch lines of rail-
roads operating in Nebraska will be
abandoned.
The automobile is a great thing.
Coco roads are splendid institutions,
but they are certainly playing havoc
with passenger traffic on the rail-
roads. Given a good highway and a
fair automobile, it is quite possible
for an automobile driver to beat the
passenger train on the average
branch line, because the a~utomobileist
can drive from his starting place to
destination without stopping to un-
load passengers, ETC., and the travel
ing by automobile on a modern high
way is more comfortable.
The inland towns in South Dakota
and other states are not cut off from
the world as they used to be, before
the advent of the automobile and the
construction of the modern type Of
highway. The inland town scarcely
misses the railroad any more, because
1t has quick communication by tele-
phone and RADIO, and has an automo-
bile highway whereby the mails can
be brought in as speedily as by train,
from the nearest railway station, and
the big truck freights merchandise
overland In a very satisfactory way.
The railroad is an essential part of
modern life. Perhaps 1t will never
be done away with. But inland towns
no longer bond themselves to the
limit of their taxpaying capacity in
order to induce a railroad to build a
branch to the town. Instead, they
petition the county commissioners to
secure federal. state and county funds
sufficient to build q good highway
to the nearest railway station, and
they are all fixed for modern progress.

curltles.' The secretary supports the
proposed constitutional amendment
because the system of exempt securi-
ties divert investment funds from
the development of productive enter

the like into nonproductive or waste

T~aX-dodging seems to come so ma
turally to the human race that the
same public bodies that condemn the
private dodgers" are themselves
guilty of the same offence; and it is
because they have INDUCED in this
abuse to such wholesale degrees, that
President Harding has taken the in

There is the incest kind OF a row
brewing over the proposed ship sub.
sidy plan before congress. The ship
ping board is pressing a plan, calling
for fifty million dollars a year as a
subsidy for an American merchant
marine. Undoubtedly the shipping
board is doing the best it knows
how-but many congressman say that
1t does not know how" very we'll.
1t is well known hat the greater part
OF ships built during the war are
going to rot because there is no COM
mercial use for them. On the other
hand the shipping board has been
building entirely new ships Of larger
and more modern design. Naturally
the administration is sticking by it's
shipping board, and the claim is made
that 1t is now or never as to
whether the American flag is to take
its rightful place in the shipping trade
on the high eas 1t may, or it may
not be neutrality-suspicious. it is a
fact, that the Democrats in congress
are preparing for a general onslaught
upon the proposed shipping board
subsidy. Newspaper men who stand
on the side lines are freely predicting
that in the appeal to the voters next
fall that the row" will be enlivened
by such a discussion of shipping as
will serve to make marine experts
out OF all 'landlubbers." The thrills
contained in the announcement may
even equal. IL not rival, those pro-
duced by Jules Verne's story of
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under
the Sea-" and the nationwide debate

thousand miles from the coast smell

AIDING THE SEAWAY

Sioux City Journal-An important
step has been taken by the state de-
partment to further the cause of the
st. Lawrence seaway, Secretary
Hughes having formally notified the
British ambassador hat the United
States would be glad to negotiate a
treaty with Canada looking to the con
struction OF the water route. This
is taken to mean that the government
wishes to make all the necessary ar
rangements against the time when
congress may pass a bill authorizing
the expenditure of funds for the pro-
ject. Obviously, the administration is
solidly behind the improvement, this
action OF Secretary Hughes supple
menting the reiterated Endorsement of
President Harding.
Secretary Hughes called the atten.
ton Of the British embassy to the fact
that the international joint commits.
sion had recommended the construc-
ton OF the seaway, both the congress
OF the United States and the Canadian
parliament receiving the report of rec
o~mmendation. Now the United States
government, acting upon the report
as far as the executive department
may go, puts the matter sQuarely up
to the two legislative bodies Of Can.
ada and this country. Beyond urging
congressional leaders to concentrate
upon the legislation needed, the adj
ministration now a do nothing else

mains to be done, Of course, before
there can be any reason for conf
dence on the part Of those who earn
estly believe in and want ocean GO
ing vessels to penetrate to the heart
OF the middle west. Objections Of
legislators in the United States con-
gress and the Canadian parliament
must be overcome, or the a~ppropria-
tons, running into many millions of
dollars, cannot be obtained. The Joint
commission pointed out how 1t was
