MERE TALK NOT ENOUGH

In another column of this weeks
issue is a news item regarding the
Pine City National Guard securing
army horses, an item clipped from
Pine City paper of Dec. 2. 1t may
be lots of fun for the Battery men to
have these horses to ride around
upon, but just how much good it does
outside of giving the men some riding
practice and some fun is a question.
1T is certain that it causes expense
somewhere. Pine county may not be
paying for it directly but Indirectly
we all pay. If the Battery men want
bare back riding there are plenty
of horses in Pine county doing little
or no work this winter and that might
be benefited by some exercise, so it is
not necessary to import animals from
Kansas City at the expense of the
government. If the Battery kept
number of horses with which to do
road work and in that manner got
their exercises and made public i'm
provements it would be a different
matter, but this preparing for war
at the expense of the government and
with no ultimate good to anyone
seems out of place in this day and age
when we are talking world peace.
The peace talk should amount to
something more concrete than just
mere talk.

NATIONAL FARM LEGISLATION

AS will be noted in the news col
umns in this weeks American, an or
ganization meeting of the Pine Coun-
ty Council of Agriculture, a unit of
the Minnesota Council of Agriculture,
was held at Hinckley Saturday. This
organization and the meetings to fol-
low are for the purpose of stimulating
interest in national farm legislation.
Looking over the list of names of
those who were asked to attend the
meeting, perfect an organization, and
boost the thing along, one will note
that half or more of them are not men
who are making their living on the
farms. OF course, all Pine county
citizens are interested, or should be
interested, in the success of agricul-
ture, but it appears to the writer that
the leadership in such movements
should be more with the tillers of the
soil than with business men. It is
very well that the local business men
are interested, in sympathy with good,
wholesome farm legislation and are
willing and glad to lend a helping
hand, but let, the movements of that
character arise amongst the farmers
more so than amongst the business
men. Let the farmers be the aggres-
sOrS and the business men the help
ers and pushers. We all need one an
other but usually nothing is handed
to us on silver platter, and for that
reason it is better that farmers them
selves be the aggressors in such move
ments. The editor of this paper was
selected as one of those to attend the
organization meeting and help get
the ball arolling. We attended the
meeting but in the capacity of news
paperman. 1t is not necessary to ap-
point newspapermen on such commit
tees for live newspapers will be rep
resented and give publicity and push
a good thing along.
This, however, is not written to
throw cold water on the proposition
more for the purpose of awakening
the interest of folks to look out for
their own welfare and the welfare of
their own groups and various sec
tions of the country.
AS long as we have tariff which
protects industry and labor it seems
no more than reasonable that there
should be some national legislation
giving protection to the farmer so
that ne is not buying his supplies in
protected market and selling his
products. GA "a world market. The

GIVES HEARING TO ALL

The American has been an indie
pendent newspaper ever since it be-
gan publication over IL years ago
and in a political way we have al
ways endeavored to give a square
deal to all parties, believing in Civ
ing hearing to all. Several years
ago when the progressive movement
was not so popular as it is today,
speakers for such parties, as we'll as
those from the older and more con-
servative parties, frequently re-
marked that the American always
treated them fairly in giving publicity
to the meetings of one party as we'll
as the other.
Sometimes we have been accused
of leaning too strongly to this or that
party. Independent, of course, does
not mean that we don't finally make
our own choice, but we do claim that
no individual, institution, clique, or
support. We stand ready to give a
fair hearing to all but to be dictated
to by none. If anybody might think
that our leanings have been too much
with the conservative element we re-
print herewith for their consideration
little article which appeared in the
Farmer-Labor Advocate shortly be-
fore election, when the editor of the
American was a candidate for the of
flee of state representative from Pine
county and lost out by the small
margin of as votes. The Farmer
Labor Advocate wrote as follows:
"The progressives of Pine county
are supporting Hjalmar Petersen of
Askov, for representative.
Mr. Petersen is the editor of the
Askov American, a paper with a
large circulation and a publication
that has been absolutely fair to the
Farmer-Labor cause.

resentation in the house very mate

| am for a national waterway pro-
gram which includes the st. Law
renee seaway and the barge canal
through Illinois. The seaway is
paramount, but there are several
states and many communities more
Immediately dependent on the canal
and the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
Some of these states are in great
distress agriculturally. Of what
avail is it to us to offend them by
crying, "Thief!" as was done in the
speeches and resolutions of the re-
cent harbor convention at Buffalo?
And what basis is there for the
charge of a water steal? Chicago
is operating under permit from
the United States government and is
diverting no more water than her
permit allows-8,500 cubic feet per
second directly from Lake Michigan.
In addition to this, she has the seep-
age from the city and small flow
from the Sag lake channel. Under
the law of Illinois, the sanitary dis
trict is required to dilute its sewage
with three and one-third cubic feet
Of water per second for every thou
sand of population. That means
10000 cubic feet of water per Sec
ond for 100000 people, and Chi
cago has passed that mark. And,
besides the sewage from the pack
ing houses and food factories is
equivalent to that from a million
population. The sanitary district is
striving to live up to the state law
for the preservation of health and
to keep within the Federal require
ments for the comfy of nations.
Many citations could be made,
but space forbids. Shipping and
power interests opposed to the
st. Lawrence seaway have taken adj
vantage of the low water cycle
through which we are passing to ex-
cite both our people and the Cana
dams against Chicago, and have
taken the case into court to make
delay. Unfortunately, many good
people have been misled. Chicago is
now spending $125,O0O,OO0 on filtra-
ton plants. Give her time to do
the work. In the meantime tell
Canada we will restore and main

McNary-Haugen bill is likely the best
proposal that has ever come before
Congress for the relief of the far
mer and to give square deal to the
tillers of the soil. so If the meetings
which the Pine County Council of
Agriculture proposes to hold in diff

thought along those lines, the work
will likely not be In vain. But we

All Duluthians are for the sea-
way, but to get it we must have a
treaty with Canada, which requires
majority vote 0pf parliament and a
two-thirds vote Of our senate. Seven
states in the Midwest are supporting
Chicago and are directly interested
in the barge canal. These states
have fourteen senators. They are in
friendly territory and we can hardly
hope to win without them. They are
parties to the diversion. I am seek
ing their votes for the seaway and
have asked that we stop calling
them thieves. Is that unreasonable?
The lower lakes were, in round
numbers, forty inches low this sum-
mer. Eight inches of this depres-
sion was due to the larger channels
between Huron and Erie, five inches
to the diversion at Chicago and most
Of the remainder to lack of rainfall.

lake levels must be controlled even

Other foreign bonds moved irregu

much. French railway issues were
also inclined to go lower. German
obligations We're practically unchang-
ed and the South American group
held it's own, but little more.
Advances and declines were about
evenly divided among the speculative
rails. Chicago, Terre Haute and
Southeastern incomes were again
active and strong. There was con
tinued demand for the New Haven
issues at approximately the highs of
the movement. On the other hand
Chicago and Eastern Illinois 5s re
acted and International Great North

There were one or two weak spots
in the industrial list. Sinclair 6s

SELLING RESUMED
IN STOCK MARKET
Change From Advance to De-
cline in Afternoon Is
Very Rapid.
BY STUART p. WEST.


NEW YORK, October 19.-After q
further advance lasting through the
first three hours of today's stock mar
ket session, selling broke out again
with considerable urgency.
Traders had not regarded yester'
days rise as anything more than
temporary rally. They were all the
more ready to take the selling SIDE
when the rally carried further this
morning.
The change from advance to decline
In the afternoon was very RAPID. Prlces
came down much more easily than
they had gone up and the volume OF
trading on the decline was iareely III
creased, The motor shares. steels,
eouinments and industrial specialties
were particularly weak spots toward
the end.
Further improvement on the STOCK
Exchange today followed the publica'
ton after the close of business Mon
day of the Federal Reserve figures on
brokerage loans. These were for the
week ended October 13, and, as expect
ed. they began to show more fully the
effects fthe heavy liquidation which
went on during the first fortnight OF
October. The decrease amounted to
nearly $82.000,000
This. of course, did not affect the
numerous outside features which had
made the business outlook appear
more doubtful than it was two or
three months ago. But it did inf1u-
ence further short covering and some
fresh speculative buying on the idea
that stocks were in stronger hands.
General Motors quickly ran up over
q point. United States Steel took its
proper place in the recovery. There
was no rush to buy and no striking
advances 1t was simply that the
market exhibited a perceptibly strong
er tendency. Dupont went as usual
with General Motors. Mack Trucks
and Nash Motor were higher. The
automobile stocks appeared to have
got over, for the time being at least,
the uneasiness regarding price cuts.
Timken Roller Bearing continued to
respond to buying based upon the pos
sibiGties of developing the new bust
ness with the railroads. The stock
sold at a new high for all time.
Independent Oil and Gas stood out
among the oils with sharp rise on
active trading. The stock pays only
LOO in dividends and would be plenty
high enough above ~ unleSS tnefe
was a prospect Of a larger distribu-
ton. other oil shares did compare
lively little. Atlantic Refining fell
back a fair part of the ground lost
during the week. General Asphalt
was strong, while Texas Co., Pan
American B and Standard of Cali
fornia gained fractionally. There
was no news from the oil trade, but
the market seemed to have discount
ed. for the present at any rate. the
effect of the recent price reductions.
Atchison was the strongest OF the
rails. running up over 2 points. Union
Pacific, Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, and Norfolk and Western
were all higher, but Chesapeake and
Ohio ran into lot Of realizing from
