SCHALL ASKS FOR
INCREASE IN THE
POTATO TARIFF
Senator Also Asks for Duty In
crease on RutabagaS
i'm Interview.

President Coolidge has laid the
question of raising the tariff on po-
tatoes and rutabagas before the tar
iff commission at the request of SEN
ator Schall of Minnesota.
Schall pointed out to the President
that Minnesota imports 5000 carloaos
of rutabagas from Canada and at the
present low duty of IL cents per 100
pounds, Minnesota growers cannot
compete with Canada as they have a.
much higher rate. He suggested that
the tariff be raised to is cents. He
also asked that the tariff on potatoes
be raised from SO cents to Is cents
per hundred pounds.

A NATIONAL
FOREST HERE
G. X. Fenger of Chippewa
National Forest, Writes
of Benefits to be Derived
if Established in Eastern
Pine County.

For a few weeks past there has
been some talk of a national forest
reserve being established in the east
ern portion of Pine county mostly
along the 500 railroad and including
six or more townships. Some of those
townships are very sparsely settled
and likely would be better fitted for
the growing of timber. In some cases
they are also heavily in debt with
large bond issues and it is question
able if the bonds can be paid with the
few settlers to foot the bills. A ma
tional forest will in time make this
land productive and of more economic
value than if left barren and tax de-
linquent.
G. X. Fenger. former Askov man,
and for a number of years in the for
est service, presently located in the
Chippewa National Forest, Cass Lake,
Mimi, writes an interesting letter to
the American under date of January
%, on the forest proposition, as fol-
lows:
''On my return to Cass Lake l was
much surprised to learn that Pine
county was being considered for new
national forest. My impression was
that it was entirely a state under
taking and as yet something quite re-
mote. At the meeting of the National
Reservation Commission. Washington,

know. the new purchase unit was ap-
proved and the foundation for this

Il want to congratulate Pine county
on its good fortune, because am sure
that it will be source of much graf
ification. BY having this area of be-
tween 100000 and 25O,0O0 acres set
aside and put to its highest produc-
tive use, the growing of timber, the
protection of watersheds, the conserv-
alton and protection of game, it will,
i am certain, play an important part
in the economic welfare of the county.
The virgin forests which passed into
private ownership years ago and
which then seemed nearly ineXhaust-
ible, have disappeared due in many
instances to the large capital invest
ment, which in turn demanded an
early and quick liquidation to offset
the heavy carrying charges. This Ii
quotation unfortunately brought with
It wasteful and destructive logging

HOOVER PLANS
COMPLETED ON
EXTRA SESSION
Senator SmOOt Is Told That
Special Congress Meet
ing viii Be in April.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press STAFF Correspondent

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. g.
Prcsident-Elect Hoover has COM
pleted his plans for the extra ses-
sion of congress he will summon
about the middle of April for farm
relief and tariff revision.
Senator Smoot of Utah, chair
man Of the finance committee, will
leave here today to lay before other
Republican leaders in Washington
the ideas Hoover mas coDT=ssa 10
him in the last four. days.
They have gone over the situa-
ton in detail, both as respects the
scope and the nature of the legiS-
l8tion to be considered.
The Utah senator was unable to
win over the President-elect to an
earlier session than planned.
Smoot urged that it be called
April I. but Hoover desires the
later date in order that he may
confer further with farm leaders
to secure general agreement on a
farm relief program.
Informed for Difficulties
Both are agreed, Hoover, that
tariff revisions should be held to
adjustment of agricultural rates and
some Industrial schedules.
Smoot informed the President
elect Of the difficulties in the way of
q limitation in the senate. He
brought to Hoover reports that the
Democrats may offer even higher
rates than the Republicans would
accept in order to confuse the sit
uation and prevent action unless
general revision is agreed to at this
time.
Hoover wants no general revision
and is expected to outline his views
in his Inauguration address. His
argument will be that no industry
which is prosperous has a claim for
increase of rates, since this demon
strateS the present rate are effec-
tive, and by the same token, there
should be no general reduction of
rates.
He also will argue any attempt at
general revision. with the conse-
quent uncertainty, would disturb
business.
His method will be an appeal to
business and the people over the
heads of those in congress, either
Democrats,or Republicans, who wish
a revision at this time.
Maps Farm Relief
In the conferences Hoover will
hold with farm leaders after he be-
comes President. He will seek to
work out details of legislation be-
forehand, so there will be no con-
fusion and delay such as has at
tended recent efforts to solve this
problem. He laid down the gen.
eral principles in his acceptance
speech and during the campaign.
Smoot will act as advance agent
to outline Hoover's general ideas
about the extra session, so that
leaders may know how to map their
course, and will not swarm down
upon his return to Washington be-
fore his Inauguration, when other
matters will claim his attention.
The veteran Utah senator has the
distinction of being the only men,
Der OF congress called here. This
has given rise to the belief in some
quarters that he will be one of the
chief spokesman for Hoover in con-
gress in the new administration. He
has been a house guest of the Presi-
Clent-eIect since Monday. e

"Bill" Vare's announcement In Ph1la-
delphia that he is not through with the
Senate yet stirred the politicians here
last night.
The question on every lip was whether
the veteran Philadelphia Republican
boss would be able to stage a comeback
in his own State and win the senatorial
nomination in the primary, May 90,
next year.
His statement, IT am a candidate to
the finish," was interpreted as meaning
he would enter the Pennsylvania pri-
mary and seek vindication at the hands
of the voters, after having been denied
seat in the Senate by that body itself.
Scarcely less interest was shown in
the reports that Joseph r. Grundy,
president of the Pennsylvania Manu-
facturers' Association, was the prob
able appointee of Gov. John S. Fisher
to I'LL temporarily the vacancy IN the
Senate caused by the denial OF Wares
right to be seated There is admittedly
an element in the Senate which would
be more hostile to Grundys becoming a
Senator than 1t was to seating Ware.

mitted he had sat up until 2 O'Clock

some way In which the appointment OF

LONDON, December 7.-Forty-one
ships and innumerable fishing boats and
bargeS were in distress tonight off the
coasts OF Great Britain and Ireland
after a seasonal hurricane that CEN
tered off the British Isles and extended
as far as Spain and Scandinavia.
The fierce gale, which lashed Britain
for more than "a hours, caused a loss
of life that will run into scores when
all the deaths have been tabulated. It
was one of the severeSt storms in many

Many Lose Lives.
The British steamer Radyr foundered
in Bideford Bay, Devonshire, with the
loss of all 81 hands. The steamer
Frances Duncan went down off Lands

Ships of all nationalities were
among those in distress, British, Nor

the Bay of Biscay or the outer chan

making her way through the storm to
