AN EASY LESSON

THROUGH the department OF
L commerce and some other
sources, we have been learning all
the year that Europe would require
many millions of bushels of wheat
and other cereals out of this sea
sons crop. The most of this grain
would naturally be purchased In
the United States and Canada. The
time has come to sell the grain.
The situation is perhaps as in
structive as any we have had for
a long time. What the United
States is doing just at this moment
is a distinct lesson in commerce and
tariff and economics.
Did you read about the rush
down in New York to get imports
through the customs house before
the new tariff bill went into effect
yesterday morning2 Ships were
urged TO speed up by wireless mes
sage. So much cash was used tor
the payment of duties that call
money was forced up from ~ to
r per cent in New York City. The
ast few days under the old tariff
provisions were highly exciting
The lesson is plain-the new tariff
puts up the barriers. 1t makes IL
harder for foreign goods to come
in. It makes 1t more difficult for
Europe to buy the grain that we
wish to sell today. And still there
are orators travelling over the state
of Montana who are telling the
farmers that the republican tariff
is a fine thing, and that it adds to
their prosperity.
The importers down in New
York yesterday and the day before
were rushing theft goods under the
wire. Why7 Because the mer-

RUSHING ALONG

1T APPEARS that during the
L wear 1921 the working men were
buying automobiles briskly. The
farmer was getting along with the
old machine. According to the
figures which have been prepared
by the United States department OF
agriculture, the greatest growth IN
registration was in the
industrial sections. The agricul-
tural sections showed a much
smaller amount of increase. The
significant result in the totals is
that no state at all reported a reg
istration for 1921 less than that OF
1920. A total Of 10,44s,632 auto
mobiles were registered in the year
1921. This represented an increase
of more than a million over the
figures of 1920 and the increase
for a year is equal to the total
number of automobiles that were
in use at the beginning of 1913.
All this has occurred while the
United States was supposedly 60
ing through a period of depression
One begins to believe that the
American people, generally speak,
ing, are bound to spend about all
the money they make in one way
or another whether we have good
times or bad times. AS a people.
we are rushing along at a terrible
rate. A few make money and keer
it, and yet the truth has been SO
clearly established in history that
it almost may be called a national
axiom-if a people r to be really
prosperous, a large majority OF
them must be thrifty.
What has become of the simple
life in America?

MORE G. HISTORY

THE Turk has swept the Chris
l. tian from Asia Minor and
has taken his revenge. Perhaps
fifty thousand Christians have been
slaughtered, millions of dollars of
property have been burned. Those
who have escaped the fire and the
sword are facing hunger and fam
inc. And now, Great Britain and
Italy and France are ready to sit
down in a peace conference.
This is what the world has been
doing for thousands of years. We
read that Pagan history does not
reveal anything worse than the de-
vastation that has just been done
in Asia Minor. The CHASTITY horror
that the Turk has perpetrated
closes for the moment the lips of
the speaker who would tell us that
the world is reaching higher ideals.
We think the world is getting bet
ter, but what a horrible arraign-
ment of civilization is presented as
we contemplate what has happen
ed in the land where Christianity
was born.
We cannot help wondering how
long it will be before all of the
great nations of the world will join
hands to stop the Pagan atrocities
that are prompted by the selfish
ness and the greed and avarice of
the dark ages.

WHAT'S THE USE?

ISN'T it strange that a representa-
L tive body like the congress OF
the United States should persist
in doing business after a fashion
that would ruin any commercial or
merchandising institution in a four
year periodP It would seem that
there ought to be enough men in
this great national assembly who
would know some of the simple
rules that have to prevail, as the
government proceeds to take care
of those things which involve the
securing of funds and the expendi-
ture of the money that the people
are supplying for public purposes.
The average congressman, if he has
any business ability at all, seems to
get a different perspective when
he leaves his home town and goes
down to Washington as an alleged
representative of his district or his
state.
Just for example, the president
vetoed the soldiers bonus measure,
largely upon the ground that the
congress had not provided means
whereby the treasury department
could get the money that it would
have to pay out in the execution OF
the law. Twenty-four hours later,
a republican senator from New
Mexico puts upon the calendar OF
the senate another proposed meas
ure, involving the expenditure OF a
large sum of money, and again
there is no provision fer raising
the required funds. The manager
of a business house who would
bring forward for the considera-
ton of his directors such PROPOSE
tions would be summarily fired for
incompetency. 1t is not strange
that men of affairs, all over the
country, feel like turning their
faces away from congress in dis
gust.
IF the United States is to COM
pensate its soldiers, there are three
sensible things, and no one of these
essential considerations can easily
be omitted. First, it needs to be
determined definitely and in detail
what this country ought to do from
the viewpoint of the soldier. What
has the soldier a right to expect7
What has he lost for which he
should be compensated The Sec
ond needful determination is what
is the reasonable ability of the
United States to do those things
which it may have first been deter.
mined as wholesome and right and
just. When the equity of the sol
der has been measured and the
ability of the government to com.

MINNESOTA RECORDS
BANNER ROADS YEAR
BETTERMENTS ON STATE TRUNK
HIGHWAY SYSTEM MAKE
NEW HIGH RECORDS

Minnesota good roads work during
1921 spread benefits On 1898 miles Of
main highways and patrol and mainten-
ance service on 1856 miles Of the 1000
mile system of state trunk highways
all exclusive Of betterments on the
secondary or so-called farmer roads.
Paving built last year measured 100
miles. compared with 1l2 laid in pre-
vious years combined; and 765 miles of
grading and 497 miles Of gravel-surfac-
ing were added to the respective 1,499
and 1871 mile total listed as graded
and gravelled when the state took over
the trunk routes for improvement and
perpetual upkeep. In addition, state
maintenance forces re-shaped 1,l37
miles and re-surfaced 8s5 miles on the
trunk system.
The Minnesota Highway Department
last year planned and supervised pro-
jects representing an outlay of $19,321,
1850, Of which amount $12,556, ,821.79
was used on the state trunk highways.
Totals Held Significant
The foregoing are outstanding fea-
lures of the 1921 highway review made
public today by Charles N. Babcock,
state highway commissioner. The record
mileages summarize Minnesota's ban
ner year of good roads achievements.
John Il. Mullen, deputy commissioner
and chief highway engineer, said that
the figures are especially significant IN
asmuch as the Babeock Plan was in ac-
tual operation only eight months of the
year, having been put into effect on
April 25. Although funds may be small
er this year, he added, the department
with more perfected working organi-
zation will strive to equal, and even ex-
eel the initial year showing. Mr.. Mullen
referred to Commissioner Babcock' g In
timation that only another year Of pro-
gress up to the schedule viii afford the
public a fair basis for estimating re-
suits to be derived from Minnesota s
new highway development plan. .--.

FIRE DAMAGED
SDMoNET STORE
BLAZE STARTED IN FURNACE
Z ROOM GOOD WORK BY FIRE
MEN SAVED BUILDING

Fire which is believed to have> start
ed from the furnace or a defective
chimney Wednesday morning caused
considerable damage to the Maurin
building, occupied by the Simonet
furniture store, and to the big stock of
furniture. The damage has not yet
been determined, but it will likely run
quite large.
The fire was discovered at about l a.
n, Wednesday by Ed. Hennen, as he
was going home from his confection-
cry store. He turned in the alarm and
although the fire already had a good
start, the fremen had it extinguished
in comparatively short time. The fire
started in the furnace room, either
from the furnace or from the chimney,
which was afterward examined and
appeared to be defective. It burned
through the floor and in some manner
got into the joists above the steel cell
ing but the blaze was confined to this
corner of the store.
Damage by fire was not so great but
there appeared to be considerable dam
age to the furniture stock from smoke
and steam and one upper front win
dow of the store was broken by the
heat. The rooms in the Buckman ho-
tel annex above were also damaged by
smoke. There was practically no dam
age by water and the work done by
the fremen was highly praised by Mr..
Simonet.
