OPENING UP NEW WEALTH.

For some years there has been more
or less of a slump in many Western
mining camps, but now most of them
are bustling with activity, and new To-
cations are being developed
This means greater prosperity fol
the nation. Copper, lead, zinc and the
other metals, both base and precious
must be produced in greater quanti-
ties than ever before, to meet our
needs
Mining is the worlds basic industry
A country with great mines has an
underlying quality of greatness. A
country lacking in mineral resources
must struggle against an almost over
whelming disadvantage.

Assistant General Manager and Mrs
j. H. Hearding of the Oliver Iron Min
ing Company, have the sympathy of a
host of friends in the loss of son
last week. William Sanger Hearding,
was killed by falling under moving
train in Pittsburgh, Pa, where he was
taking a students training course at
the Westinghouse General Electric Co.
plant. The young man was born and
reared in Duluth and was a graduate
of Duluth Central and the University
of Michigan. He was Is years of age
and is survived by his parents, a BROTH
er and sister. The remains were
brought to Duluth for burial.
The PapSt mine disaster at IRON
wood, Michigan, in 1926, was re-echoed
Saturday in the announcement of the
death of Capt Thomas Trewartha,
known by large number of people in
this city. He was 65 years of age and
died of paralytic stroke at a IRON
wood hospital In recognition of his
bravery in handling his crew of Al men
when entombed in the Papst mine, he
was awarded gold medal. He has
been a resident of the Michigan city
since 1887 and is survived by the widow
and three sons besides brother and
two sisters.
After listening during the campaign
to the effect of the tariff on farm pro-
ducts it is highly edifying to hear of
affairs nearer home and the effect of
the tariff on iron ore products with
which we are directly concerned in
this section of the state j. E. Mac
Gregor, chairman of the Duluth Hoo
yer Club made talk at Hibbing Mo1i-
day in which he showed how the DEM
ocratic administrations had played hob
with the miners of the Lake Superior
district every time this party was in
power The statement of Mr.. MacGre-
gor was not news to the older residents
of the ranges who will never forget
those unforgetable days of 1893, 1913
and 1914. Ask Dad, he knows.
The more iron and steel shipped in
foreign countries means less conSump-
ton of local ore. less wages for miners
and less work Even with the present
duties on steel products there are con-
siderable importations of steel and iron
produced with less cost in foreign lands
by reason of the lower standards of
living requiring less wages. In 1927,
the world produced 135,000,000 tons of
iron ore, 81, 100000 tons of which was
produced in the United States includ-
ing 100000 in the Lake Superior
area.
We listened to Claude Mackenzie,
National Committeeman for Minnesota
make an address over the radio the
other evening and will in all truth say
that it was one of the best talks heard
during these radio talk tests on the
issues of the day.

THE TARIFF AND FARM
PRODUCTS.

The political leader who says that
the tariff is of no value to the farmer
usually has in mind just the one
farm product of wheat He isn't think
ing about butter, wool, beet, pork,
eggs or poultry.
Neither is he thinking of what the
possibilities are of increasing farm in
come by using the tariff to encourage
new uses for farm products.
For example:
/. There are in the neighborhood
of So chemical products that can be
made from corn, which when so used
would give and additional five to ten
per cent demand for corn. This Of

GOVERNOR SMITH ON THE
TARIFF.
CFrom American Tariff League)


Governor Smith thus far has
shown no great desire to tell the peo-
pie of this country just how he stands
on the tariff. At Oklahoma City, he
concluded his speech by proposing a
discussion on farm relief, water pow
er, flood control and reorganization of
the Government-no mention of the
tariff.
At Omaha, he told his audience that
the tariff was tricky" subject. So

At st. Paul, he made try, and here

Thus it is shown that in all the in
dustries above, taking both male and
female, the average earnings were
$11.05 per week.
No surplus here for automobiles; no
surplus for radios or payments on a

enough to meet the necessities of life.
Mind you, this was the average for
skilled workers; unskilled workers re-
ceived an average of only 1922 per

Eighteen years ago this coming
Sunday the rudy glow of great con-
flagration against the sky announced
the coming of forest fire. Baudette

nesting among the trees were wiped
out Today modern villages, culti-
waited fields and comfortable farm
homes stand where only ruins met the
eye the morning after the fire. The
spirit OF the pioneer has won a COM

The Farm Bureau has its eyes open
at last. In letter issued by Director
Hatton Tuesday is contained a very
vital issue when it was said: 1.-The ex-
perience of the last ten years is our
assurance that we are right in in
sisting on keeping the Farm Bureau
plan on its original basis of county
memberships, state and national Or
ganizations with men who live on the
farm serving on the boards of di-
rectors of these bodies, determining
their policies, instead of caStoffs from
other groupes or professions coming
in and aggressively determining agri-
culture policy. When the Farm Bu-
reau or any, other agriculture group
allows others than real farmers to be-
come leaders, it permits itself to be-
come the pawn of self seekers, takers
and grafters."
