in the are coming under the turts-
diction of the Bismarck council, he
said.
In q brief address congratulating
the Lions on their support OF scout
ing, Justice Christensen emphasized
that the foundation of scouting Is
adult sponsorship, leadership and
responsibility and that a group OF
boys, wishing to join the movement
must find some adult organization to
sponsor their troop.
Commenting on the scout oath,
exemplified by the troop at the din
ner, Christensen said the reason for
opposition to the Boy Scouts by ON
munistic groups Is apparent when one
understands that the scout movement
is calculated to inspire reverence for
and allegiance to the flag Of this
country.
Christensen thanked the Lions for
their assistance and valiant service
to scouting in this territory"

DO NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS
WANT 70 TAX
THIS PRODUCT
or THEIR CORN CROP?

takes 40 pounds of corn. To make one pound
Of lard through feeding hogs to shipping
weight takes about II pounds Of corn. Why
penalize corn oil which requires SO much more
corn in it's manufacture and therefore helps
stabilize the whole corn and hog industry?
Why this tax anyway? Isn't lard already
amply protected by price? 1t retails for l8c
to zoe a pound. Corn oil retails for Soc to 35c
a pint-a pint weighing about one pound.
The retail price of corn oil therefore is nearly
double that of lard, yet it is proposed to put
a food tax OFFS cents a pound on corn oil.
It seems to have been assumed that there has
been a crowding out or a decrease in the con
sumption of lard in favor of vegetable oils
and other products.
According to figures completely the United
States Department of Commerce, the con-
sumption of lard in the United States has
increased from 1872 pounds to l4.3 pounds
per capita in the period from 1900 to 1870.
The production of lard increased in 1923
over 1925, 20%. For the same years, the
production of lard substitutes increased only
6T, so that the assumption that lard IS being
displaced by lard substitutes does not seem
to be warranted by the facts.
1t does not seem justified, therefore. that q
special tax should be placed upon corn oil, a
direct product from corn, to benefit lard, an
indirect product from corn. Those really in.
terested in the prosperity Of the corn grower
aho,,ld ID evervthinO nnssible to increase the
demand for cash corn and it's products.
