Grant was christened Hiram Ulysses;
Cleveland was named Stephen Grover.

while Minnesota perhaps has as
much to offer, or even more than
any other state we cannot expect
to gain unless we put forth great
er efforts to attract tourists and
new citizens. This competition is
even evident in our own neibhbor-
hood. North Dakota on one side
of us for several years has been
advertising her agricultural wares
through the Greater North Dakota
Association. Wisconsin through
it's Department of Agriculture has
carried on similar program. With
limited funds the Ten Thousand
Lakes Association has done excel
lent work in attracting tourists
who now bring more than $780,
100000 into the state annually
However, the surface has only
been scratched in this field and en-
larged efforts will bring us much
greater returns.
"In recent years there has been
scarcely any effort in getting new
settlers. l am told by railroad men

THE TARIFF PROBLEM

REIMBURSEMENT of tariff schedules by the special
session OF Congress to begin April Is may de-
velop into as troublesome problem as that of farm
relief 1t appears to be the wish of President Hoov-
er to confne tariff revision to limited number of
schedules, covering commodities which have been
affected by conditions that have arisen since the
present law became effective
But when the question gets under discussion
there is no telling where it will lead Various groups
viii insist upon changes which affect their particu
lar interests, and there is likely to develop Sec
nonal and political squabbles with all the log-ro-
ing methods usually accompanying tariff revision
1t was to reduce such confusion to minimum
that the flexible provisions of the present law were
established, whereby the President is empow-
cred to make tariff changes within certain limits
without resorting to Congressional action In max
ing such changes, he has the advice of the Tariff
Commission, which is engaged in a continuous
study of tariff matters.
In the opinion of many, the Tariff Commission
might well be given greater latitude in the making
Of tariff changes if it were maintained as a nom
partisan body with long tenure of office for it's
members thus removing it as far as possible from
the influence of politicians .....
The tariff question is properly one of econom.
ics and business rather than party politics. and
should be treated as SUCH

Why Cooperative
Plan is Profitable

No one follows the creamery de-
velopment of our county more
closely than does M. J. dad"
Cort, of Minneapolis, old-time
creamery man who, when the
movement was young, did so
much in organizing, cooperative
creameries up through the north
west. He helped to organize most
of the Todd county creameries.
dad" is regular reader of The
Leader and we think he studies the
creamery reports first before he
looks at anything else. Each year
he takes the annual statements and
figures out what the "overrun" is
worth in dollars and cents to the
farmer patrons. The "overrun, !"
as our readers doubtless know, is
the water and salt that is mixed
with the butterfat to manufacture
butter. This water and salt does
not cost great deal, but it goes
to the creamery, that is, to the
institution which manufacturers
the butter. The contention is that
to large extent if the farmers did
mot own the creameries themselves
this "overrun" profit, either in
whole or in part, would not be re-
turned to the farmers. In other
words, the farmers in owning the
creameries participate in all the
profits of manufacture and this is
one of the very good reasons why
the cooperative creamery is such
a profitable institution to the farm
err and why every farmer should

MYRON T. HERRICK

Myron T. Herrick, Ambassador to France
from the United States, is dead.
1t is not doing other representatives to foreign
fields any injustice to refer to Mr.. Herrick as
Americas outstanding representative His eminent
fairness and ability brought to him the strong af-
lection of the French people. During the dark
days of the World War when Germany pound
ing away at the gates of Paris it suggested that
the Ambassador seek refuge in Bordeaux. He re-
piled:
There times when dead American
Ambassador might be of more service to
you than live one.
Reappointed to his post by President Harding
IN the trying postwar days Mr. Herrick did much to
smooth the way looking to the rehabilitation of
France.
Some of the radically inclined insisted that the
Ambassadors friendship for France was a detri-
ment to the United States These charges We're I'M
founded he never lost his sense of proportions.
Although warm friend of France he always pro-
tected the interests of the United States.

prepared for publication by the national committee
on the relation of electricity to agriculture. In
these reports the methods employed and the re-
suits obtained by various power companies will be
described in detail.
The first of the series will cover the activities
of the Wisconsin Power & Light Company, while
the second will be devoted to the Alabama Power
Company, these to be followed by others in turn.
Both of the companies mentioned have been
the means of bringing the benefits of electric SER
vice to thousands of farmers in their respective
states, and this service is being continually extend
ed at rapid pace.
Rural electrifcation is yet in its infancy, but
it's progress since the movement was first started
five or six years ago has been most gratifying to
the electric companies and farmers alike. 1t is
relieving the rural population from much of the
drudgery which was formerly inseparable from farm
life, and seems destined to play most important
part in the solution of the farm problem.

FARMER HAS UNFAIR COMPETITION

Our island dependencies, including Cuba which
is given concessions its exports to us, ship into
America annually hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of farm products Every pound bushel
of these products displaces an American farm
produced product. We rural editors who spon-
sorng the Minnesota Plan of Farm Relief not
opposed to extending favors to island citizens,
but we think that some plan should be devised
whereby the American farmer does not have to
pay the entire expense of keeping the islands pros
porous Without doubt if the islands exported man.
ufactured goods to America there would be instant
demand for tariff law to protect the manufactur-
ers. The circumstance that the islands export only
farm products has been kept in the background all
these years. We believe that in working out ma
tiona policy of farm relief that way should be
found to give American farmers some measure of
reasonable protection against these island imports
We all know that the cost of production in these
islands is vastly less than in America. Standards
of living lower, wages trfling, taxes not
burdensome, and it is unfair to make the American
farmer compete with them without protection.

Minnesota Will Spend
100000 in Advertising
Ten Thousand Lakes Greater Min.
nesota Association Will Launch
Mighty Campaign

Minnesota will actively partici-
pate in the conquest of states for
tourists and settlers during 1929
in an advertising and publicity
campaign which will cost 500, 900,
providing this sum can be raised.
The campaign will be conducted
by the Ten Thousand Lakes Great
er Minnesota Association and will
be devoted equally to recreational
and agricultural work according to
Roy E. Dunn of Pelican Rapids,
president of the association.
In recent years state advertis-
ing has become extremely compel
tive, largely due to the fact that
southern and western states have
made notable progress in securing
tourists and new settlers through
that method, says Mr.. Dunn. Ex-
elusive of Minnesota there are 20
states spending amounts all the
way from Wyoming's appropria-
ton of $4,000 to CALIFORNIA;
$1,360,000. Among the leaders ac-
cording to Mr.. Dunn are Florida
with an annual expenditure of
$4,000; Georgia with $348,000;
Louisiana with $165,000; Virginia
with $150,000; Oklahoma with
100000; Maine with $128,000
and Washington with $1,000.
Speaking Of the program of the
Ten Thousand Lakes-Greater Min
nesota Association and the activi-
ties of other states Mr.. Dunn
said: "We have reached a point
where Minnesota will have to adj
vertise if she is to hold her po-
