John shouldn't climb steps, so the

A LIABILITY TO THE PARTY

Such disclosures as have been made
on the works and actions of Claudius
II. Huston, present national chairman
of the Republican party, are mighty
unfortunate for the best confidence in
government, but it is perfectly we'll
that the actions Of public men be
disclosed so that the people will know
what is going on behind the scenes
and how much legislation is framed.
Mr. Houston should be deprived of his
position and no doubt many members
of his political party are requesting
President Hoover to get rid of him
as he is a liability in his present
position to the various Republican
senatorial and congressional canGi-
dates in the coming election. His
predecessor, DR.. Layman Work, was in
most unfavorable national limelight
due to his unfortunate faculty of say
ing the right thing at the wrong time.
Will Hays, in the same position, also
came in for much unfavOrable publ
city. Men should be appointed to Of
fees of this type because OF their in
tegrity and sense of service to the
American people at large and not be-
cause of politics.

TARIFF IN CONFERENCE

All those who have followed the
workings of Congress little as re-
CARDS the tariff know that the Hawley-
Smoot bill as passed in the lower
house was a great injustice to agri-
culture, but the senate performed bet
ter, though not as well as was to be
expected or as was promised. Now
the bills from the two houses are in
conference and q little will likely be
chopped from both, but the compro-
mise result will perhaps not leave the
farmer in better position than under
the present Fordney-McCumber act.
Sodium chlorate is used by the
farmer to kill weeds and other noxiOus
srowths. In the house bill duty of
112 cents per pound was imposed upon
it. The senate. however. put sodium
chlorate on the free list. The house
action was sustained by the conferees
which is a sample of their beginning.
The Minneapolis Tribune on Monday
wrote an editorial on this matter
Had it come from a progressive news
paper the utterances would certainly
have been considered very radical,
perhaps even red. The Tribune is
Republican but fighting for the agri-
cultural interest in the tariff con-
troversy. They said in part:
The conferees are to be congratu-
lated on the way they disposed of So
dunn chlorate. They have excellent
memories and great fidelity to the
promises made agriculture by the Re-
publican party. Their understanding
is that the Republican party pledged
itself to put the farmer out of bust
ness and drive him off the land. At
least we take it that that is their
understanding, since their actions are
conforming to that guiding principle.
We i'm the northwest are indeed for
tunate to have such fine outstanding
representatives of agriculture as Haw-
ley, Treadway, and Bacharach look
ing out for our interests in confer
ence. The emergence on the scene
of these three heroes gives to agri-
culture the same reason for unre-
strained rejoicing that the sight of
three masked men gives Il grocery
store proprietor"

a severe spell of illness was unable
to be present when the tariff bill was
voted on last week but was paired
against the bill. The following state
ment explains his attitude on the

it was passed fails to comply with
the promises made to the farmers by
the orators of that party during the

Regarding the tariff, will say

against the kind of a bill that in my
opinion will take more out of agri-

have been raised but industrial rates
have been raised too, and it seems to

BITTER WORDS DON'T PAY

A new fraternity started recently
in Ramsey county, Minnesota. The
badge of the order, which consists
largely of farmers in Ramsey, Anoka

picture of Spanish jack with his
heels in the air. The lettering reads:
'Sons of Wild Jackasses." Robert
Freeman, county agent of Ramsey
county, who is said to have originated
the idea, expresses the hope that the
organization may assume national i'm
portance as an instrument of agrarian
protest.
The name, of course, originates in
gent senators. 1t recalls the fact that
as campaign material, shibboleths are

more dangerous-than carefully rea-
