JARD|NE OPPOSES
CHANGE IN TARIFF
Secretary Warns New Policy
Will Hurt Rather Than
Help U. S. Farmer.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December IA
change in the American protective
tariff would harm the farmer more
than it would aid him, w. M. JAR
dine. Secretary of Agriculture, told
the Republican Club today.
1.-The time is approaching" he said.
when tariff protection will be more
important to agriculture than to in
dustry in this country, since agri-
culture is becoming less and indus
try more dependent on foreign mar
kets."
Agricultural products, he declared,
have been for many years dimin-
ishing part of Americas exports, and
agricultural exports are becoming a
diminishing percentage of the coun-
try's total domestic production in
agriculture.
Export Values Grow.
The total value of agricultural ex-
ports increased 122 per cent for the
period 1900-1904 to the period 1922
IS, he said, while the value OF all
other exports increased 1888 per cent.
Since agriculture is becoming less
an industry more dependent on the
foreign market" said Secretary Jar
dine, lit is becoming increasingly I'M
portant to agriculture that protec-
ton should be maintained against
foreign competition. in our markets.
Those who, unthinkingly or in a
spirit of political revenge, would
wreck our protective system in the
alleged interest of agriculture should
stop to think what it would really
mean. Competition of foreign agri-
cultural products in our markets
would be keenly felt by our farmers
and agriculture would surely suffer
with the rest because of that in
stability of commercial relations
which drastic tariff changes would
create"
Greatest Free Trade Center.
Another factor essential to fair
appraisal of the tariff policy in its
relation to agriculture, he said. is
that the United States today is the
worlds largest free trade market. lie
pointed out that in this country there
are no trade barriers such as exist
in Europe.
I'm addition to commercial free
DOM" he asserted, I'VE need stability
of commercial relations. This we
shall achieve in proportion as we
learn to control economic forces, 10
the mutual advantage of all economic
groups. The tariff, l believe, mas
done much to maintain commercial
confidence and a fair degree of bust
ness stability in this country IN re-
cent years. This, ! am confident. is
so important that any effect which
the tariff has or may have on the
price of this or that commodity must
not be thought of as comprising the
whole tariff question. Any changes
in our tariff system which would
throw into disorder our commercial
relations could not help our agri-
culture"

Chicago Gang Leader Defies

CHICAGO, December 17.-Undis-
mayed by police commands to keep
out of Chicago, "Scarface Az Ca
pone, once a gangster, but now a
tourist, was home today.
He spent the night with his mother
unmolested by police. Accompanied
by six bodyguards he arrived in
Chicago by automobile after posting
sufficient bonds to obtain his release
from the Joliet police force, the MEM
bership of which had constituted a
reception committee for him when
he alighted yesterday from a Santa
Fee train.
The gangster-tourist. who took
hasty leave of Los Angeles when
ton demanded that he do so, left
Joliet at pm. yesterday in an
armored car, surrounded by his
henchmen, proclaiming defantly to
all who were interested:
Certainly, | am going back. l was
having a nice time in California. but
Chicago is my home and l am home-
sick. It's the best town in the world,
and although the police ara hound
ing me for no reason at all, L won't

lows with me-"
Police on Hand.
And he dared Mayor Thompson
and all of his Chicago policemen to
keep him-a taxpaying citizen-from
coming home.
Capone had heard of the reception
which Chief of Detectives William
O'Connor had planned for him, so he
to leave his train at Joliet
and complete the rest of the Journey

were there-every one of them-and
Capone was arrested, found to be
armed with two pistols, and booked
on charges of carrying concealed
weapons. Mike Sponza, who was &C.

ed with sawed-off shotguns, also were
booked. The five had brought the car
from Chicago for his homeward ride.

charge of headquarters, Chief of Po-

the Joliet force called the reserves.

DAIRYMEN SUPPORT Ma
TIONAL ORGANIZATION

Dairy farmers of Minnesota are
making the entire dairy industry of
the United States sit up and take
notice.
It has long been claimed that the
Minnesota dairy farmer adopts a sell
fish attitude, and that he is unwill-
ing to cooperate with the dairymen
of other states in providing wider
market for dairy products. = This
statement is absolutely without basis,
says the Minnesota Dairy Council,
which cites it's own record as proof
that Minnesota farmers are keenly
interested in expanding their mar
kets and are willing to support any
such movement literally.
About three months ago, the move
ment to launch Minnesota unit of
the National Dairy Council was start
ed. Without any elaborate organize
ton program, the proposition was put
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1927-04-06

who go to our Legislative halls in an
excess of penny-wise emotion, pre-
vent the appropriating of sufficient
funds to carry out the program. 1t
is for US to cry aloud against meas
ures which tend toward the weaken
ing of this defense plan. The Amer
lean Legion, Enthusiastically patri-
otto, idealistic and practical, urges
that this act be fulfilled to its last
phase, and that it is for us as the
women of the American Legion Aux
iliary to stand with our men, and ex-
ercise our rights as citizens in insist
ing that our Senators and Represent
atives support appropriations for the
carrying out of these provisions, if
they expect our support at the polls.
Let US inform ourselves, thorough
ly, as to the merits of the National
Defense Act and, also, as to the dan
gers which threaten it, and then, set
about the task of bringing public op-
inion to the point where our chosen
will listen to US on
account of the VOLUME of our cry.
And, let us help to build out of the
bitter experience of the past, more
secure bridge over which the young
feet of the future may pass when on
their way to discharge one of the
greatest and heroic duties of citizen
ship.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1927-04-06

squarely up to the farmers of the
state to support the movement
through their cooperative creamer-
les. In not one case where the matter
was brought before a creamery board
of directors or an annual creamery
meeting was this support refused. On
the contrary, the patrons of the CO.
operative creameries expressed the
opinion that the movement had al
ready been too long delayed and that
they were willing to get behind it SOL
idly. Unfortunately, the number of
speakers which could appear before
such meetings was limited, and the
Council is depending upon letters to
interest those which were not reached.
Thus far, the response to those let
tiers has been almost as good as was
the personal visits of Council speak
ers. In view of the fact that the work
of, protecting the valuable source of
income which the creamery industry
represents to the dairy farmer will
cost about ten cents per cow per year,
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1927-04-06

it is probably not surprising that the
dairymen Of the state have lined up
SO solidly behind the movement.
The formation of Minnesota unit
of the Dairy Council is considered
unique in that it will provide an or
ganization of most of the cooperative
creameries of the state without one
cent of cost for organization expense.
The speakers who attend annual meet
ings and the cost Of distributing in
formation regarding the Council was
assumed entirely by the Minnesota
Creamery Operators and Managers
Association and the Dairy Record.
The Minnesota Council will have no
salaried officers and every dollar OF
the money received will be spent for
the work of protecting and expanding
the creamery market.

American Legion Auxiliary
On Nation Defense, April 6

1t would seem that on this day
April 9th, the Anniversary of Ameri.
cas- entrance into the World War
the weight of considering the matter
of National Defense would lie heavy
aon our shoulders. Our thoughts &c
back to the soul-stirring days of II
when we, the women of America
knew that our husbands, sons anC
brothers would soon be called out
from the shelter of home to go tC
the aid of their country. We, who
knew them so we'll, knew better than
anyone else could ever know, how
poorly prepared they were for the
rigors of army life; for the thousands
of grinding discomforts-yes, agon-
aes-of the months of their army SER
vice, and today, we feel that we must
spare no effort that will hasten the
day when America shall have an ade-
quate system of National Defense
when the young men of tomorrow
shall be in some measure prepared,
both physically and mentally, for the
severity and the discipline of army
life in case a national emergency
arises. We may devoutly hope that
such an occasion may never come
but, in the past, wars HAVE COME,
and since we have no way of judging
the future except by the past, it fol-
lows that the person or nation who
fails to learn wisdom from experience
merits nothing but deepest censure.
There is an idea more or less pre-
valent that the words National De-
Tense" hold a jingoistic, sword-rattl-
ing element, and that the very thought
rs to be as thoroughly dreaded and
avoided as the Plague. Indeed, moth
ing could be farther from the truth.
The theory of National Defense,
which has been with the American
people since Revolutionary days, when
George Washington realized its i'm
portance and its unappreciable value,
rs coming to be regarded by the best
sand most experienced minds as an in
Surance against war. The founders
of our Constitution realized how es-
genital such a policy is to the life
of a government when they worded
the Preamble after this fashion:
s'We, the people of the United States,
IN order to form more perfect I'm
son, establish justice, insure domes-
tic tranquility, provide for the COM
mon defense, promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings Of
liberty to ourselves and our posterity,
do ordain and establish this Consti-
tuition for the United States of Am
erica" The body part of the Con-
stitution gives to Congress eighteen
different powers, and of these TEN
are closely allied with the national
defense. Hamilton, jefferson and
Calhoun all favored such policy and
Jefferson was an avowed apostle OF
peace.
These few words of EXPLANA-
TION are in no way intended to be
I'M DEFENSE of this POLICY-A
