approximate the Panama Canal in this
respect. The Treasury regulations Of
June 10, 1923, based upon the Supreme
Court decision regarding the carrying Of
liquor under seal into United States
ports. has had the effect of keeping YES
sells away from the ports Of the Virgin
Islands to the benefit of competing for
eign ports in the West Indies. The pro
posed treaty now under negotiation be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, whereby the United States would
ACQUIRE the right Of search beyond the
three mile limit, in exchange for the phi
vilege conceded British ships Of entering
United States ports with Iiqu0r under
seal, appears to indicate that similar
treaties will be negotiated with other
maritime countries. 1t is therefore very
important that steps be taken to assure
that ports of the Virgin Islands are placed
in the sane status as the ports OF Con
|tiaental Uaited States under auy treaties
of a nature similar TO the one pending
with Great Britain.

All Is Lost.

If one who holds a puplic place be-
comes acquainted with disgrace, we
hear wall of woe; men cry, Fare
well to honest worth, there is no
merit on this earth, no virtue here
below" Pete Peppermint, a county
clerk, got i'll some underhanded
work, and pinched a goodly ,wad !;
then all the pessimists arose, and
sadly murmured, Heaven knows,
our government fraud. We
thought Pete Peppermint gent who
would not cop a single cent, and
now he is in Jail; our faith is lying
fat, supine; we might as well take
in our sign, let anarchy prevail" But
| with dignity upreared and shot
some language through my beard !;
"All is not lost" l cried; the sher-
iff's record is most fair, the county
judge is good and square, his bailiff
is no snide Most office holders
straightly move, and all good people
will approve our register of deeds !;
our coroner looms up sublime, he
sits on dead men all the time, and
for no rake-off pleads. There is no
truer man on deck than James
Beeswax Heck, our justice
of the peace; SO l proceed all down
the line, and find our public servants
fine, SO let your wailings cease. Be-
cause one man lets go his hold. and
falls for gawds like oil or gold, it's
idle to despair; it's vain your ho-
kun to repeat-the governments as
good as wheat, and right side up
with care"

What Is the Difficulty?

Nlnety-nine persons cut of one hun
dred in Montana would like to see a
better price for wheat than has OBJ
tanned since 1920. Notwithstanding
the fact that there is a tariff of AZ
cents a bushel on wheat imports to
the United States, the domestic price
and the Canadian price are substan-
italy the same at the present time.
Over most of the period since 1921,
the tariff on wheat has benefited the
grower of hard spring wheat, even
though it has been of little aid to
wheat producers in general.
What renders the wheat tariff so
largely imperative on price? We
produce in the United States a normal
surplus of wheat in excess Of u do
mestic requirements. This is no new
development. Neither is it wholly
due to war stimulus. Remember that
this nations only billion bushel' wheat
crop was grown in 1915.
Let us say that, roughly, we con-
sumo in the United States only three
fourths of the wheat that we nor
mally produce, and the remaining one
fourth must sell in world markets
at the prevailing price. The price at
which the One-fourth sells fixes the
price at which the domestic three
fourths sell, allowing for exceptions
IN the case of special quality and va
J rieties. There are a thousand ideas
OF remedies that may be applied. 1t
would take mere than the available
space to discuss them.
Reverting in conclusion to the
wheat drawback and milling-in-bonG
provisions of our tariff law: the
amount of wheat handled under the
drawback provision is entirely negli-
glble ;that milled in bond has amount
ed to only ten and a half million
bushels in the biggest year, and can
not in any way escape into domestic
trade.
From these facts it seems imnos-
s-bIe that the export provisions OF the
tariff law can have any more to do
with the domestic price of wheat than
have the similar manufacturing priv.
leges enjoyed in other lines of trade
and commerce.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1924-10-29

of such an argument, let US assume
that the milling-in-bond provision has
been repealed. There are ten United
States mills which, at times, grind
Canadian wheat for export. As long
as the price in the United States and
the price in Canada remained level,
they could continue to mill wheat for
export, buying in the United States.
But the moment the domestic wheat
price rose above the Canadian price
and this has been true most of the
time since 1921-these export mills in
the United States would be at a dis
advantage compared with their Cana
dian competitors for the same market.
Remember, both are selling abroad
in the same market. The foreign
buyers purchase where the price Is
lowest.
Such a situation would have arisen
in October, 1923, when the Minneap-
polls spring wheat price was approx
mately 30 cents a bushel above the
Winnipeg price. Does anyone think
for a moment that American millers
could have bought Montana hard
spring wheat at 80 cents a bushel
above the Canadian hard spring price,
and could then have sold the pro,.-C
abroad in competition with the Cana
dian miller who secured the SAFE
quality wheat 80 cents a bushel less?
If the milling-in-bond provision IS
responsible for the fact that cur do
nestle wheat does not always reflect
an advantage over the Canadian price,
how is it to be explained that the
period during which imports for mill
ing-in-bOnd were heaviest in our tar
if history-the last quarter of 1923
was also a period in which our do
nestle spring wheat price ranged
highest above the Canadian price
from 20 to 80 cents a bushel?
