dealers; but the customs officials insist on assessing duty on the full weight. Duty is also charged on spoiled fish, even if destroyed under the super vision of inspectors, unless they comprise as much as five per cent of any shipment. These practices are complained of as unfair and unreasonable.
 As for the rate of duty, it would be possible on recommen- dation of the Tariff Commits sion for the President to re- duce it to 1c per h., which would afford considerable re- lief on the more expensive varieties of salmon, but would not greatly h{elp matters as applied to cheaper grades. The suggestion has been made in some quarters that an ad val orem duty on salmon imported would be more equitable; but a special act of Congress would be required to affect such a change. This would no doubt meet some opposition, as it has previously been brought out that some packing interests are strongly opposed to the inn portation of the cheaper vari- cites of salmon for canning; :; although there appears to be little if any objection to i'm portation of the species used for mild curing.-Pacihc Fish erman.

PROTEST SALMON TARIFF

Seattle fish dealers and pack CTS are protesting against the present duty of 2c per lb. on imports of fresh, frozen or iced salmon, and also against certain practices of the GUS toms service in dealing with such imports, and the matter was recently taken up by the Alaska Committee of the local Chamber of Commerce.
 The protesting dealers point out that there was no demand for the duty mentioned, which was slipped into the tariff act mainly because no voice was raised against it; and that the duty imposes an unfair burd- en because the same duty of 2c per ID. applies to many varieties of widely varying values, ranging from 16c per lb. for large red Kings to Sc per lb. for Chums. Further, under the existing customs re- gulations, 1t is necessary to get a permit from the customs service before salmon can be imported; and that in order to secure prompt release of ship ments, it is necessary to de- posit cash in double the amount of the estimated duty. This at times ties up so much money as to be a serious burden, and it is desired to secure the priv ilege of putting up bond from a regular bonding com pany.
 The method of figuring weight for the duty is also considered unfair. The regular practice of buying is to deduct 2 per cent of the total weight for ice and slime attached to the fish, and there is a standing agreement to this effect be- tween the local fishermen and

The Worker Benefits

As 4 reflection Of the fact that the common day
worker has profitcd rs much by our present and re
cent prosperity as has the manufacturer and specu-
lator, may point out that the factory payrolls
in 1926 have exceeded those in 1926 in every month
since tho beginning If the year.
II needs no profound knowledge Of economic prin-
ciplcs and practice realize that this increase has
been all to the ordinary worker 1t is not an APP
parent bettcrment, but actual bcttcrmcnt. The
wages have maintained a high average. too, and
every working man has had ths finest opR9rtunts
Of his life to save. The bank deposits go to prove
that labor has realized its chance and has stored
UP much Of this increase in cash resources toward
possible lean period. This evidence Of intelligent
thrift and conservation Of capital is very eDcour
aging.

Editorial Comment
Why This Change of Heart?
minneapolis Journal)


Why are the eastern trunk lines opposing
grain rate justice for the northwest when two years
ago they went record in favor Of it?
Why do they seek to defeat the very plan for
reducing the differcntial advantage held by lake
and-rail rates over all-ra rates. which two years
, ago they agreed to support?
These questions arc raised by the testimony SUBJ
mttcd yesterday on the first day of the Minneapolis
hearing before Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Campbell. They oppose the six-cent reduction
in the all-ra rate to the scaboard which was
nounccd by the Minneapolis 4 St Louis and the 500
roads, but which has been suspended by the
mission pending a hearing. Two years ago they
favored it, and agreed to urge its acceptance before
tho commission.
This change Of heart should be inquired into. IT.
cannot be due to apprehension how this new
through rate is TO be divided between the eastern
and western carriers That division, it was agreed
at the time would be matter for arbitration, and
the arbitrator named as Director lIardic Of the
Interstate Commission. The division can now be
settled in the same manner as was then proposed.
The mystery is enhanced by the fact that, if the
St. Lous-Soo proposal was accepted, it would mean
more tonnage for the Eastern roads to haul and at
a rate bound to prove rcmunerativc. Why do the
Eastern roads back away now from q measure Of
simple Justice that would mean more business for
them and larger net earnings for their Golfers?
The Northwest is practically unanimous for the
new rate. 1t therein relief for its grain
raiscrs that is real and practical. Duluth alone
selfishly dissents-Duuth which was aptly describ-
cd by ". H. Brcmncr in his testimony as "only
way station for grain to Buffalo" And Duluth was
represented by Chicago attorney!
Duluth stands for Buffalo rather than for Min
nesota and North Dakota. It prefers to deprive the
Northwestern farmer of the advantage of cash
nWo hmm ~kn<
shipping to the higher Minneapolis cash market.
Perhaps the willingness Of Duluth to be used in
this way by Buffalo against the interests of it's
own territory and its people, throws some light
on the influence that has been brought to bear in
the Eastern roads
