REPUBLICAN TARIFF Brings MONTANA
WOOL GROWERS NEARLY S3,OOO,O0O

Montana sheepmen will this year
receive nearly $3,OoO,OOo more fer
their wool than they would without
the tariff, according to information
just received from authentic sources
by this newspaper. A prominent
wool grower of Montana says:
"The one thing that vitally con-

REDUCING SUGAR TARIFF WOULD COST
MONTANA BEET GROWERS S4OO,OOO

Billings, Oct. 28.-(SpeciaD-If the
sugar tariff should be reduced from
the s1.76 base to S1.00, as Candidate
Davis advocates, it would cost the
Yellowstone valley farmer under his
participating contract $1.15 per ton
and with an average tonnage of II
tons, $12.65 per acre. At the same
time it would reduce Montana's beet
acreage so per cent.
A beet crop of approximately $780,
900 tons is now being harvested IN
the Yellowstone valley. The district
is easily capable of producing 4OO,-
600 tons annually, and with the de-

shipped out of Mcntana during the
current year. It is but a school boys
problem to determine the benefit de-
rived from the tariff on wool, for It
is safe to say that the tariff adds
IS cents per pound.
"A profile of the wool market for
the past fifty years shows that the
low points invariably occurred at a
time of low tariffs or absence of tar
if at all.
For Montana woolgrowers to ad-
vocate the return of Senator Walsh

WALSH OF MONTANA LEADING
ADVOCATE OF OIL LAND leasing AIT

Washington, Oct. 29.-(Speciaj)
Senator Walsh of Montana was
one OF the most active advocates
OF the oil land leasing bill during
the discussion in the senate. Un-
der this bill the naval oil reserves
IN wyoming and California were
leased to private operators.
WALSH FRAMED POLICY
In the course of the senate debate
Senator Walsh boasted Of tie fact
that he was the originator Of the Dol-
ICY of leasing public oil lands to Dri-
Vate interests, stating that he ha1
drawn up the first bill of that char
acter in 1913 with the assistance of
the Democratic secretary of the in
terror, Franklin K. Lane.
The records of congress bear him
out in this claim. They also show
that in June, 1917, he introduced a
leasing bill (Senate No. 45) which en-
trusted the administration of oil and
gas deposits in the United States n

Illinois TO Iowa who're the future head
of the department OF agriculture grew
to manhood
Like many another falmer boy, Mr..
Wallace fought hard for an educa-
ton. He worked on the farm in sum
mer and attended village school in
winter until he was ready to enter
college.
Entering Iowa state agricultural
college at 10, Mr.. Wallace completed
two years of work before an emer-
gency arose which took him back to
the farm. A tenant on his fathers
farm gave up his lease and Mr.. Wal
lace took up the job for himself. It
was five years before he was able
again to go to college but when he
did get back to school, he completed
a two years course in one.
Pounds Farm Magazine
During the years Mr. Wallace was
cut Of college, lie took up writing on
farm topics and from that beginning
there grew what now is known as
Nallacc's Farmer. This literary work
also weighed strongly in his appoint
ment as assistant professor of dairy
ing in the Iowa State college. The
head Of the agricultural college at
that time was James Wilson, after
wards secretary of agriculture for
IS years.

The Republicans tariff netted Mon
tana growers 50 cents on every bushes
.ot spring wheat raised in the state
last year
Montana produced 10000, 900 bush
els Of spring wheat in 1923 and the
farmers Of this state thus received
Just $l2,000,0O0 more money for il
than they would have under Demo
cratic free trade.
Owing t. TIE fact that Canada.
which is the cnIy competitor on the
hard spring wheat market. has no
crop for export this year, the tariff
IS largely imperative insofar as its
effect upon the domestic price is con-
cerned.
However, The Jaw Of supply and de-
mand is operating to the advantage
Of wheat growers all over the United
States, ges'Cting in higher mices
than have prevailed for some years.

velopment possible in other irrigated
sections of the state considerably
more sugar beets could be grown.
The Democratic Underwood tariff
of 1913 fixed sugar tariff of one
cent pound. That is the tariff
which Dir. Davis terms 'the fairesr
since the Civil war" and which Mr..
La Toilette favors.
That would be a reduction of .76
cent pound from the present duty
and would reduce the payments to
the beet raisers $1.t5 per ton. On

take away from Montana farmers

There are so many state en-
