A THRILL

The weII-known airway flier,
General Static, performed such
fancy evOlutiOns ON the wave
lengths to such effect last even
ing that tuning the home stations
became radiOticS' fayOrite indoor
sport. There was no comfort or
satisfaction going abroad In
search Of entertainment. There
was fading here and there-save
that the noise didn't fade-and
considerable interference Of the
usual kind.
Giuseppe MARITIME Rossi, baritone
of the Kit hour from WRC, and
Secretary Herbert Hoover and Otto
H. Kahn, New York banker and
promoter of art, from the Para
mount pictures banquet broadcast
by WMAL, made the most import
ant loud speaker impressions last
evening. 1t was a dead lead kind
of radio evening. without other
than these who all came
early in the order of programs.
Rossi's most conspicuous achieve
ment was that of singing continu-
ously IS minutes. with only suf-
ficient interruption to announce
each song. and displaying a variety
of musical moods, expressing a

TARIFF RISE PROPOSAL

Of particular interest to Mime
sotans, and especially to residents of
Pine county and the territory immedi-
ately adjacent to Askov, is the amend
ment to the revenue bill proposed re-
Gently by Senator Henrik Shipstead.
In his proposal, Senator Shipstead
would increase the tariff on such pro-
ducts as rutabagas and potatoes. The
duty on rutabagaS would be raised to
so cents per 100 pounds under the
plan of Mr.. Shipstead.
These products, as the Minnesota
senior senator points out, are forced
down in~price each year, because of
the flow of similar agricultural pro-
ducts into the Northwest from Can
ada, and if the growers of these foods
are to be afforded a fair return for
their labors, certainly they must be
better protected against the compe-
tition of foreign markets.
Naturally, Mr.. Shipstead, when
making mis- proposal, was charged
with some Interior motive, but the
farmers of Minnesota, and others who
are well acquainted with his sinceri-
ty, know that he spoke the truth
when he said: 1T was submitted at
the request of very many people in
Minnesota who are engaged in the oc-
cupation Of agriculture, who stated
that such products as potatoes and
rutabagas are forced down in price
because of the flow of similar agri-
cultural products into the Northwest
from Canaua, and that there also are
large importations of vegetable oils
which come in competition with our
dairy products. l resent the impu-
tation that the amendment was not
offered in good faith"
Senator Shipstead's explanation of
his proposed amendment will be found
elsewhere in this issue of the Amer
lean.
