wrote in part as follows:
Taking into consideration imports
on rutabagas for 1923 of approximate
ly 5000 carloads amounting to $780,
500, it would indicate that the Amer
lean farmer is not given to exceed
one-third of the American markets,
and with an increase of tariff to 25c
per cwt. will not realize over one-half
of the American market, therefore, in
order to assure the American farmer

Petition to Congress
Askov, Minnesota.

Hon. Reed SmOOt,
Chairman Senate Finance Committee,
Washington, d. G.
We, citizens and residents of Minnesota
largely within Pine county, had certain promises
in the national political campaign of last fall in
regard to more protection for the agricultural
northwest-the placing of farming on parity
with industry. This, we feel is not being accom-
pshed in the Hawley tariff bill just passed by
the lower house of congress.
The present special session of congress was
called primarily to help the farmer. True there
have been some advances in the tariff on agricu-
tural products but this is offset by the tariff
placed on building materials such as shingles,
lumber, brick and cement materials used very
extensively by farmers. We trust that the
senate will make changes in the tariff bill that
will render it serviceable to agriculture and thus
fulfill the promises made in the campaign, and
we strongly urge this move.
