Mile Laos County Times: THE
farmers must compromise with the
industrial interests on the tariff queS-
tion and not expect to get all he
things they ask for" says Rudolph
Lee. of the Long Prairie Leader. and
intimates that if the farmers should
get all they ask for in the shape of a
protective tariff il would hurt the big
manufacturers. Let il hurt them. If
they kick give them the same advice
YOU fellows have always given the
farmers. Tell them to change their
business methods; have greater effici-
ency; or manufacture something else"
That is what you have told the farm
ers to do in the past. and it ought to
be good enough for the big bugs.

FARMER RETURNS TO
ST. PETER HOSPITAL

John T. Larson, a farmer living
east Of Sandstone, who had spent a
year and half at the state hospital
in st. Peter, but had been out on pa
role since October, was acting strange
ly again and on Tuesday was returned
to the hospital. He was accompanied
there by Joseph Petschel and Richard
KOwaike of Pine City.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1930-02-06

pines is approximately one billion
pounds per year and half of this
amount is shipped into the United
States. In 1927 we imported 575,OOO,-
600 pounds of cocoanut oil of which
SO per cent came from the Philippines.
Set FiIipinos Free.
In order to be in a position to inn
pose duty upon cocoanut oil it is
who have hitherto been unfriendly to
Philippine independence that the Unit
ed States liberate the FilipinOs and
thus make it possible to impose a
tariff upon cocoanut oil and other
products.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that the cost of producing
butter was determined by the United
States tariff commission acting i'm re-
Spouse to a resolution introduced by
Magnus Johnson, Farmer-Labor SEN
ator from Minnesota, in 1924. While
it is not generally known, it is also
true that President Coolidge increased
the duty on butter imports 4 cents
per pound after the tariff commission
had made its report. Magnus got
farmers of Minnesota But his work
was apparently not appreciated by
those who should have appreciated it
most. 1t will be recalled that John
Brandt, president of the Land O.
Lakes Creamery association, opposed
the reelection of Magnus Johnson to
the senate in 1924 and supported his
opponent, Tom Schall.
AS far as oleo is concerned it may
be stated that the first attempt to put
it out of business as a factor in COM
petition with butter in this state came
from Nonpartisan League members of
the Minnesota legislature.
Welch OleO Bill in 1919.
Back in 1919. A. c. Welch, Nom
partisan League house member from
Mcleod county, Introduced a bill to
prohibit the use of oleo in our state
A similar measure was
introduced in the senate by Magnus
Johnson and others. The bill passed
the house by vote of 81 to ii and
passed the senate by a vote of 40 to 10.
The bill was, however, vetoed by Gov
ernor J. A. A. Burnquist on the ground
that the hands of the board of control
should not be tied in the manage
ment of our state institutions, flimsy
excuse, to say the least.
Those farmers and farmer leaders |
who opposed the enactment of the |
bill are now reaping
the results of their own evil work |
One of the guilty ones in this con-
nection is Mr.. Schilling, referred to
above. Mr. Schilling was always a
bitter enemy of the McNary-Haugen |
bill, and so were several other gentle
men associated with him in his CO.
operative work. Today it must be
apparent to Mr.. Schilling that if the |
Haugen bill were in orera-
ion, the live stock industry as well |
rs wheat growing would be sufficient
y profitable to keep those farmers
rom switching to the dairy business.
The selfish craft view as it were.
aiken by Schilling and others, is not
he good one. The broad view repre-
ented by those affiliated with the
'armer-L movement who are
making fight for all farmers and
or all producers, is the proper and
PRACTICAL one to take.

buying influences entered
the pit in the board of trade
building.
In the last fifteen minutes of
trading, so hectic that it recalled
historic sessions during the world
war, prices jumped as spectacular
ly as they had sagged.
Caused By Grain Board Policy
The trade generally attributed
the spectacular break to the re-
fusal of the Farmers National
Grain Corporation to purchase cash
wheat from other holders than CO.
operatives affiliated with it. Quot
ed statements by Alexander Legge
chairman of the Farm Board, were
construed as indicating that the
board was unconcerned with grain
after it passed from the hands of

orators.
Action Approved :.
