$94,937,162. During the first three
months of the fiscal year of 1929-3O
our total tariff revenue was $161 1885,
1893, so that the decrease under the
Hawley -SmOOt act is slightly more
than $66.0O0,000. A number of fac
tors, of course, conspired to drive
down collections to this low figure.
Some of this decrease is no doubt
traceable to the fact that importers,
seeking to escape the higher rates,
brought in as much dutiable mer-
chandise as possible before the new
tariff went into effect on June IS,
1880. 1t is necessary to understand,
too, that the prices of dutiable goods
imported in the first quarter of 1890
averaged about 10 per cent lower than
the prices of goods imported in the
first quarter of the preceding year.
a fact that would have operated to
reduce collections under the former
rates.
Should collections for the next
three-quarters of the fiscal year equal
those of the first, the years total
would be around $3SO,OOO, 900, or about
$2O7 100000 less than for 1929-3O.
However, the early summer rush of
importers to beat the new rates should
have only very temporary effect on
revenues, and unless commodity prices
continue to fall in other countries,
there may be a noticeable increase
in collections for the next three mar
tiers. Just what permanent effect the
Hawley-SmOot rates will have on
tariff revenues depends to large ex-
tent on whether these rates will in
crease tariff collections relative to
the total merchandise imported, or
whether their effect will be that of
an embargo against merchandise on
which the rates were substantially in
creased. In this connection it should
be said that the character of imports
within recent weeks would seem to
indicate that relatively more dutiable
goods and relatively less goods on the
free list will be imported during the
next nine months than in the first
three of the fiscal year. If that is
so, the first quarter under the Hawley-
SmoOt should be by all odds the worst
from a revenue standpoint. A tariff
loss of more than 100000 for the
year, although indicated by the first
quarter collections, does not seem like
ly to materialiZe. But the outlook
even at best, is none too bright.

man who has made good in his own
business.
Having known Hjalmar Petersen

MISREPRESENTATION

Some publicity, which has been
classed by state legion commander A.
B. Kapplin, as lies was published by
the Harvard Crimson, college paper
and circulated in the East. Follow
ing the legion national convention in
Boston, the college paper character
lied the convention as a wholesale
brawl" and Mr.. Kapplin commenting
upon the convention said that most
of the misbehavior during the con-
vention was perpetrated by Harvard
students and other college men to-
gether with young Boston boys.
Mr.. Kapplin said, only two legion
naires were left in the hospital at
Boston, one ill with pneumonia and
the other injured in taxi accident.
The manager of the hotels reported
to us that the total property damage
was about $3.50 and that all of it was
fully paid for. The convention COM
mittee informed us before we left that
of $4,000 persons in the parade only
four men showed signs of liquor in
fluence" In commenting further, Mr..
Kapplin stated that according to the
newspaper reports several hundred
were intoxicated, four persons died
from poison liquor and that 600 were
in hospitals in Boston from liquor
drinking.
Why newspapers circulated among
intelligent people and for the purpose
of being an influence will resort to
such Misrepresentation of facts is be-
yond the imagination.

"THROUGH' ROAD DRIVING

A recent highway bulletin empha-
sizes that designating any highway
as a through" road is intended sole
ly for the prevention of accidents and
enforcement of the rule requires all
traffic to stop before entering such
routes, safeguards both the traffic on
the cross roads and the main highway.
1t gives no special privilege to traffic
on the main highway. Drivers on a
Through" road are under the same
obligation to maintain safe speed and
exercise caution at turns and inter-
sections as drivers on any other road.
Drivers entering a through" road,
once they have made the required
stop are entitled to proceed pro-
vided they do so with due caution.
"Speeders on a through road cannot
hold overwhelming rights and 20
ahead heedlessly on their way" said
a recent court decision. On the other
hand, drivers entering a through
road cannot claim damages if they
are injured due to failure to make the
required stop.
The bulletin calling attention to the
entering and driving on through
roads emphasizes more than ever the
fact that the driver of a motor vehicle
must have the other motoriSt in mind
at all times. Common sense is the
governing factor in safe driving.

HE is ABLE

When Judges and attorneys gathered
in Minneapolis Tuesday night to eulo-
gize the 10 years of service which
county as county attorney it was no
mere gesture of friendliness but was
a sincere token of their appreciation
of the qualities of which Mr.. Olson is
made up. He was presented with a
wrist watch with the inscription,
of 10 years of loyal service in Henne-
pin county" Nearly 300 Minneapolis.
St. Paul and out-of-town attorneys at
tended the dinner in honor of the ole
who is retiring from the office of coun-
ty attorney and who is candidate
for election to the governorship of
Minnesota.
Words spoken at the dinner by
Frederick H. Stinchfield, former pres
ident of the Minnesota Bar associa-
tion, is eulogy enough to qualify any
man for such a high office as COVER
nor of Minnesota. Mr.. Stinchfield
said, There has been no work done
better anywhere than the work of the
Hennepin county attorneys office dur
ing the last ten years. If l were to
speak about the qualities of Floyd Oh
son, would place first of all his con-
slant willingness to play square"
Coming at a time when issues of an
election are being discussed at fever
heat and when the candidates names
are on the lips of almost every man
and woman in Minnesota, instigated
by those of the profession who are
high in the circles Of civic and gov
ernmental activities and without the
slightest gesture at being a political
meeting. but only to give a man who
has been square enough with every
person or group his just dues, the
event carries considerable weight

BEWARE OF SMOOTH STRANGERS
(EXcerpt The Princeton UniOnl

Excerpt The Princeton Union)
1t is an undeniable fact that money
is not moving any too freely these
days, and the financial stringency is
felt much more keenly in the cities
than it is in the rural communities.
Consequently some of these city birds
will be flocking out to the country to
prey upon the unsuspecting people in
the villages and farming communities.
A safe policy to follow just now is to
patronize the home people, and thft
applies to merchants and business
houses as well as to the public.
No individual should allow himself
to be induced into taking on a rela-
lively large purchase of goods by be-
ing hooked with some little shiny, toy
bait. Money is to scarce these days
to be wasted and it is not a profitable
procedure to be inveigled into invest
ing five dollars for an article that is
really not needed in order to get a
premium that costs 10. 25 or even so
cents. If we spend our money pru-
IDENTIFY for the things we actually need,
and watch the advertisements of the
home stores closely. we ought to have
plenty of money to keep us comfort
ably through the winter. The prudent
buyer insists on getting a 100 cents
value to the dollar in the article that
he is buying. 1t is foolish extrava-
gance to pay a dollar for a 50-cent
article and a 10-cent premium.

WANTS RESULTS
Editor Askov American:


The time is fast approaching when
new representatives are to be elected
and it might occur to us after all
these setbacks, what is really the
trouble with our elected officials.
have read a number of newspapers
throughout the state and l invariably
find that the representatives and other
officials, say that the industrial east
put a joker in the tariff bill, that
Senator Grundy did this and that, and
in the final outcome the farmers get
the worst of the schedules in the
tariff bill. Now it has occurred to
me for some time: Just exactly what
was our representation doing in con-
greSs all this time. The way / under
stand it is that each representative
and senator in congress for the vari-
Gus states have one vote and equal
rights How is it then possible for
the delegation from few states to run
things their own way? My inference
is this, when large business interests
support candidate, they expect re-
suits. No alibi goes, it is either get
ting through the legislation necessary
or a withdrawal of support at the next
election. On the other hand when
our representation comes back to us
in barrel so to speak, they are full
of excuses and alibis and generally
advertise their inefficiency and inef-
fectiveness as a public servant and
generally they actually get the SYM
pathy of their constituents instead of
their censor and defeat at the next
election. A man sent to congress is
sent there to represent his conStitu-
ents and to get results, he gets a good
salary of ten thousand dollars a year
and other allowances far more than
most or all ever made before. Getting
a high salary the people have a right
to expect results and efficient repre-
sentation from him as well as effec-
and turn a deaf ear to oratory and
albis, they will always get the worst
of it. So when we go to the polls it
may be well for some of us to keep
this in mind to absolutely refuse to
support anyone who has failed to get
results, in other words turn thumbs
down on those that fail to bring home
the bacon.
The silly idea that those who hold
the key to industry, money matters
or power, will ever concede anything
allows no debate. The poor will get
poorer and the rich richer, until the
poor demand a square deal, and GO
about it in an orderly and effective
way, times will get worse unless
something is done about it, and the
| only logical place to get results is in
| congress and the state government
with ineffective representation, moth
ing can be done for those who are
satisfied with the explanation tina,
prosperity comes in cycles, etc. and
believe the silly nonsense put out by
the subsidized newspapers. there is
no hope. Prosperity for the masses
| can only come when there is proper

distribution, without good salaries
people cannot buy the goods produced
by other people and they in turn can
not buy our goods, so we find posi-
BILE situation where the people in coal
regions, are starving with plenty OF
coal on hand and the people in North
Dakota are freezing with plenty OF
wheat on hand. In China they have
hard times where millions of people
are facing starvation. For this there
is an insolvable reason, lack of food,
but in our country we have plenty
of everything necessary for human
comfort, but we are tied up through
inefficient business as well as gov
ornamental administration. The only
solution is to elect public officials
capable of solving the problem. A.
candidate who comes before the pub
lie not recognizing the problem of
distribution, and who thinks that it
will solve itself, should not be re-
turned to a public office. but should
be relegated to his proper vocation,
whatever that may happen to be. AS
rule very few of the solutions Of
fered for solving the problem now con-
fronting us as to unemployment, over
production, under-consumption, etc..
do not strike at the heart of the prob
lem. The only solution is shorter
hours, shorter weeks, and better
wages, inheritance taxes, breaking up
large estates, which are generally
poorly administered by the heirs,
thereby causing discomfort on those
who depend on the industry to make
a living; also higher income taxes for
those able to pay, including all gov
eminent employees as well as NUM-
cipal bonds of all descriptions. In
spite of all the tax reform we have
been promised the last few years, we
actually have a condition where the
taxes this year on farm property are
higher than ever. Everybody wants
the other fellow to pay the taxes and
under this condition the goats pay
them, there is no greater patriot, than
he who fights for his country in time
of war and pays his taxes in time of
peace.

PINE co. FOLKS OUT
FOR FLOYD OLSON
AIl.Party Club Is Organized to Further
His Candidacy for
Governor.

The able and popular county attor.
ney of Hennepin county, Floyd B. Oh.
son, has hundreds and thousands OF
boosters in Pine county who are anx,
ious to see him elected to the office
of governor of Minnesota, and as mas
been done in other parts of the state
an All-Party Floyd Olson for Governor
club has been organized in this coun.
ty.
Following is the announcement OF
the Pine county club:
Floyd B. Olson is our candidate fol
governor, regardless of our party af-
filiatiOns, or his.
1T is our solemn judgment that ne
is the only candidate who possesses
those qualities of leadership that will
rebuild the prestige that Minnesota
has lost. 1t is our conviction that he
alone, has the courage and independ-
ence to take the lead in the struggle
against those forces that have con-
trolled, and that he, alone, can re-
store to the people the control of their
government.
During the past ten years, he has

NEVER FINISHED

The pet excuse for many Legislators
seeking reelection is that they still
have some unfinished legislation that
they want to see passed, that they are
serving on committees that have to
report at the next session, and so on.
1t is oftentimes a trick of those in
power to appoint men on interim COM
mittees to make it appear that they
are influential and to make it a bait
for having them returned to office.
The day will probably never come
when all business and legislation will
be finished.
