Practically everything Mr. Mellon says about the
Haugen bill is sound reasoning and adds nothing
to the debate upon agricultural relief. The bill

ufacturer to compete abroad. Mellon evidently
would deny the farmer the privileges.
Farming is North Dakota's greatest industry and
it is high time that the business of this state
supported those candidates for office who seek
ing to make farming profitable business as is
the protected industry Of the east whose balance
sheets bulge with high profits and stupendous
pluses.
There is nothing socialistc radical about such
attitude and that the west is thoroughly awake is
hart Some weak -kneed' advocates of farm relief
may be swept off their pedestals in this state on
June 30.
Every voter must ''debunk" the campaign argu-
ments and throw support to those who insist on
equal marketing privileges for all.
Unless the Republican party revises the tariff
along that line, it is going to have tough shedding
