SENATE AMENDS
WATCHER BILL
Primary Safeguard Draft Is
frightened.

In contrast to action of the house
Of representatives, the Indiana SEN
ate today amended the primary
watchers" senate bill to provide for
a watcher at the polls on petition of
five candidates of one party instead
Of ten, as introduced.
Senator John L. Niblack of IN
dianapolis offered the amendment
reducing the number of required
petitioners, explaining that it might
be difficult to have ten candidates
agree to the request for watcher.
The bill, introduced by Senator
Winfield Miller of Indianapolis was
advanced to engrosSment and third
reading. %
An exact duplicate of the measure
was introduced in the house by Rep
reSentative Harold r. Donnell of
Paris Crossing, chairman of the
house elections committee.
At the instance of Representative
Lloyd D. Claycombe of indianapolis
and other members of the elections
committee, the bill was amended
last week on the committees report
to require that the petition be
signed by 40 per cent of the candi-
dates of one party instead of by ten
candidates.
Claycombe said the amendment
was necessary to prevent the posi-
bility of as high as thirty watchers
being named in a single precinct
where the primary ballot contains
as high as 800 names, including
those of candidates for precinct
committeeman, delegates to the state
conventions, and county state and
national offices.
The house bill is awaiting second
reading in the house. It's friends
will endeavor to restore its original
provisions

H. s. Abbert, the biggest stock raiser on Kodiak, is venturing forth to lay the problem against bear on Kodiak in the highest councils of the nation. The overlord of sev- eral hundred head of sheep and cattle thinks it is high time to find out whether livestock or bear are to be protected on Kodiak.
 My losses have gone into the thousands and a big, yearling bear almost got me last summer said Abbert, who is heading to his home in Boston, with Mrs. Abbert, presi- dent of the Alaska Federation of Women's Clubs The two will di- rect New England's attention to the fact that Kodiak should not be con- sidered by game hunters as a pri- vate reserve for bear shooting but as the home of many future cattle and sheep raisers.-tSeward Gate way.)

Henrik Shipstead Sees
Gain in Farm Tariff Fight
Senator, in Twin Cities, Doubts If
Senate Report Will Meet N. w.
Demands

st. Paul, June 18.-Advocates of
just and effective tariff protection
for agriculture have made progress
at the special session of congress
and start toward tariff legislation
that will help the farmer. There is
still much work to be done, how
ever, and the real tariff revision is
not likely to be accomplished until
the regular session next fall.
Senator Henrik Shipstead made
this statement in the Twin Cities
Monday, adding that the farm re-
lief bill enacted by congress is "a
step in the right direction" but
would have been better if it had
included provision for making the
present tariff effective along the
lines of the old McNary-Haugen bill
or even the proposed debenture
plan.
The senator spent few hours in
st. Paul and Minneapolis Monday
and left in the afternoon for North
ern Wisconsin where he plans to

"The state also pays through the
adjutant generals Office, pensions
Of So a month to veterans Of the
Indian wars Of 1862, and to the WI
dows of such veterans, the first
payments dating from January l.
1905. Since that date the total pay
ments have reached about $975, 600,
and are continuing at the rate Of
about $4,000 year, gradually di-
minishing as death reduces the

Altogether nearly 600 persons have

World war veterans were COM
pensated at the rate Of SIS for each
month of war service, the total
amount paid to date for such bon
uses totaling over $23,00O,000, Mr..
Youngquist stated. Besides this,
he said, the state at the close Of
the World war conferred another
substantial benefit on the men and
women who performed war service,
through the soldiers tuition act Of
1919, under which they are entitled
to have their tuition paid by the
state up to an amount, not exceed
ing 5000 each for attendance at
the University of Minnesota, at any
state normal school, or any other
college or school in the state which
maintained students army train.
ing corps unit under government
supervision during the war.
An earlier law, passed shortly af
ter the close of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war, had granted free tuition
at the state university to veterans
of that war as well as of the Civil
war.
Besides these many benefits, Mr..
Youngquist pointed to such privil-
eyes as the soldiers preference law
and the law which entities children
of soldiers to preference in admis-
sion to the state school for depend
ent children at Owatonna.

YOUNGQUIST LAUDS
RECORD OF STATE
Traces Benefits Minnesota Ac-
corded Those, Serving in
Nations Wars
Is SURPASSED BY NONE
Describes Soldiers Home and
Other Activity Entered in
to by North Star State

Minnesota's record in rewarding
the service and sacrifice of her sol
diers and in caring for them and
their dependents is not surpassed
by any other state, according to
Attorney General G. A. Youngquist,
who has compiled figures dating
back to Civil war days.
Mr.. Youngquist traces the work
done by the state for Minnesota's
soldiers since Governor Ramsey's
offer of volunteers made Minneso-
Ia the first state to respond to
President Lincoln's call at the be-
ginning of the Civil war.
Minnesota always has been in
the front rank in furnishing men
for the service of the country" the
attorney general said. 1.-THE first
concern of the state has been to
care for the sick, disabled, and
destitute veterans"
The maintenance of the state
soldiers home, one of the best
institutions of its kind in the coun-
try, probably is the most import
ant contribution of the state to the
welfare of her soldiers, Mr.. Young
quist said. Since the home was es-
tablished in 1887, more than 5000
men and women have been admit
ted, while at present the number
of residents averages between 400
and 500, of whom about one-third
are wives or widows of veterans,
he pointed out.
Living at the home are veterans
of the Civil war, Indian wars, Span
ish-American war, Philippine in
surrection, Mexican border service
and World war. The original cost
of the buildings and equipment was
$250,000, but it would cost three
times that amount to replace them,
according to Mr.. Youngquist.
The state spends for maintenance
of the home more than 100000 an
nually, to which the federal govern
ment adds approximately $4,000 a.
year.
Under the management of the
same board as the soldiers home is
the soldiers relief fund derived
from the proceeds of a standing an
nual state tax levy of one-tenth of
a mill, producing about $4,000 a
year." the attorney general contin-
ued.
"This fund is distributed for the

Butter Going Into Storage
Prices Decline Slightly
Egg Market Irregular with Lower
Quotations-Live Poultry De-
mand Poor

Butter production during the
past week has showed a slight gain
over the previous week, and the
increase over last year will be
about one per cent. While receipts
on the principal consuming mar
kets were quite liberal, trading was
very good and even with the adj
vance in quotations, stocks cleaned
iup quickly. Current consumption
was good until the close of the
week, when the warm weather af-
fected it slightly. The steadying
influence in the market has been
the movement into storage which,
during the past week, was the
heaviest on record.
The Chicago butter market on
80 Score Standards is quoted at
AN cents today, which is a de-
cline Of a quarter cent since last
Monday. The New York butter
market on 90 Score Extras is A
cents.
The egg market the past week
has been rather irregular. Produc-
ton is not decreasing as rapidly as
last year. The market is very dull
at present with quite liberal re-
ceipts forcing good share of the
stock into storage. This is making
the into-storage movement greater
than it was last year. While the
shortage of eggs in storage com.
pared to last year might be of a
bullish nature, it will not influence
the market, because of the increas-
ed into-storage movement.
The Chicago egg market on
Firsts is 20 cents as compared to
20 to 291a on Monday a week ago
New York Firsts are quoted at
'0R to 81.
The live fowl situation in both
New York and Chicago showed fur
cher sharp declines. Opening quo
.ations last Monday were too high
with no interest on the part of
buyers. With heavy receipts post
ed for the week, sharp reductions
We're made and demand continued
slow, resulting in further conces-
sions of from one to two cents. If

ing although there is still a short

week. Receipts were very liberal

visit with relatives for several
weeks. It is to be q vacation de-
voted entirely to rest and outdoor
recreation as a means Of getting
back the strength and vitality
which he lost during an illness Of
more than two months.
Senator Shipstead explained that
the throat infection which poisoned
his system has been remedied and
that time, rest and exercise will
complete his cure during the sum-
mer.
The senator was highly skeptical
as to whether the coming report of
the senate finance committee will
contain anything worth while in
the way of the tariff protection that
the Northwest is demanding.
"The organizations and individu-
ais in the fight for tariff justice for
farmers" Senator Shipstead said,
have done q fine and commend
able piece Of work. The protest
against the original Hawley sched-
ules had a powerful effect in Wash
ington. It showed congress that
the Northwest means business in
its demand for tariff protection
that will put farming on parity
with industry"
Senator Shipstead was less en-
thusiastic in his comment on the
farm relief measure just enacted by
congress and signed by President
Hoover. He expressed the opinion
that it is "a step in the right di-
rection" and the hope that sit will
do some good"
"The big trouble is that the bill
did not go far enough" he said.
Some means should have been
found to include in it provision
for making our tariff protection eff
fective. If we need evidence that
our present protective tariff does
not protect agriculture we have on
ly to look at the grain market quo
tations. When wheat brings high
er prices in Winnipeg than in Min
neapolis and Chicago as it does to-
day, despite our so-called protective
tariff, there is something wrong
with our system from the farmers
viewpoint"
