.BRAHAM GETS
SEN. SHIPSTEAD
TO Speak at Community Fair on Sat-
urday, Sept. 26; VIII Draw
Many Visitors.

Announcement was made this
week that U. S. Senator Henrik Ship
stead will be a speaker at the Braham
Community fair on Saturday, Sept. 26.
He is scheduled to appear shortly aft
err 1 o'clock noon.
Senator Shipstead's popularity, espe-
cially in this part of the state is
such as to assure very large audi
ence when he appears. Amplifiers are
being installed so that there will be
no trouble in hearing the speaker re-
CARELESS of how Large the crowd may
be. If weather permits then the
speaking will be done from the band
stand in Highway park where plenty
of room is available to accommodate
several thousand people.
The senator's topic should be one
of great interest to every citizen. He
will no doubt speak about world con-
ditions and how they affect Minnesota.
His recent trip abroad has given him
first hand knowledge of conditions in
Europe. Being an able speaker with
a deep knowledge of politics and gov
eminent Mr.. Shipstead will have
something to say of vital Importance
and of great interest to all Mime
sotans. His appearance at Braham
will provide a seldom offered oppor-
tunity, especially in times like these
when men of his capacity are kept ex-
tremely busy, and there should be
very few staying away. There will
be no admission charges; ample space
will be provided to accommodate ev-
eryone who comes and none need wor-
ry that they will not be able to see
and hear the senator at Braham on
Saturday, Sept. 26.

POULTRY WORK
TO BE STUDIED
A Large Crowd of County Folks Elk.
pected to Gather in Hinckley on
Achievement Day, Sept. 25.

The new school auditorium in
Hinckley is expected to be the scene
of the largest gathering of poultry
enthusiasts on Friday, Sept. %, that
was ever gathered at one place at
any one time in Pine county. At this
time the results of the poultry pro-
ject which has been carried on in
different parts of Pine county during
the past year, will be studied.
The committee on exhibits promises
the most unique and interesting ex-
hibit that has ever been put on by any
home project group in this county or
any of the northern counties. An ex-
hibit representing some phases of
poultry will be put up representing
the different months of the year. The
groups and the months they will rep
resent are as follows:
Hinckley, January; Brook Park,
February; Crosby, March; Bruno.
April; Ogema, May; Groningen, June;
Norman, July; Kerrick. August; Sand
stone, September; Chengwatana, Oc-
tober; Duquette, November and Wilma,
December. These exhibits will be
worth while to see by every person
interested in poultry.
Miss Julia Newton, state leader on
home demonstration work from Uni
versity Farm, will be the principal
speaker. Miss Cora Cooke, poultry
specialist who has been cooperating
with County Agent w. F. Hammar-
gren, the past year, will also be pres
ent. A good program will be given.
A basket lunch will be enjoyed by
everyone at noon, coffee being served
free. This coffee is the Red and White

DR.. Werntz of Moose Lake, presided

the crowd in happy mood.
James Brennan of Hinckley, presi-

called upon to make a few remarks.
He dwelt briefly on the coming state
tournament explaining some of the
phases of the tournament and giving
out the belief that it would be one
of the most successful tournaments
held by the association.
The rest of the meeting was devoted
to business. The subject of umpires
was brought up in an effort to get the
sentiment of players as we'll as offici-
ais that might be beneficial in decid-
ing on what kind of umpiring to pro-
vide in the future. Some clubs main
tanned that it would be impossible for
them to continue employing umpires
at the same rate that has prevailed
during the past season. No official
action was taken and the subject was
dismissed until next season when it
will be re-opened.

PINE CITY MAN is
NATURES DOCTOR

r. P. Allen of Pine City, believes
in putting property in good shape.
About two years ago he purchased a
twenty acre tract south of Pine City
on highway No. 1 and has since great
ly improved the land by removing all
the stumps and stones. He has now
had the land plowed and leveled until
it presents very nice appearance.
All trees have been trimmed and their
health attended to by a tree surgeon
Considerable shrubbery has been
planted around the entire tract of land
and as this grows it will add more
beauty to this valuable property.

The State Highway Department be-
gan work Tuesday on raising the
pavement at the so-called sink hole"
south of Pine City near the Fred
Wright farm. The pavement is raised
by forcing mud under the pavement
with a high pressure pump. Holes
about two inches in diameter are
drilled through the pavement at in
tervals of about eight feet and the
large pump is then put to work fore
ing mud through these holes. The
pavement at this point had gradually
sunk from two to three feet until
there was noticeable dip in the road.

ion that the lowering Of our own tariffs,
without reference to what the rest of
the world may do, would be sufncient
to cut through quickly the worst Of our
difficulties I believe that many other
countries would follow us In this. Those
that did not reduce tariffs would fail
to share the expanding world trade to
the same extent as those that did. But
we ourselves would promptly get into the
hands of foreign customers a larger vol
ume of the dollars which they need to
buy our goods, and our export trade
would make very prompt response.
Tariff and Standard Of Living.
There are those who fear the lower
ing of the tariffs because they believe
that the American standard of life is de-
pendent upon the tariffs. and particu-
larly because they believe that high
tariffs make high wages. This doctrine
has very little standing among econo-'
mists. Wages DO not depend upon
tariff, and standards of life do not de-
pend upon tariff. Wages depend upon
the productivity of labor per man, and
ponds, other Kings equal, upon the
abundance or scarcity of the land and
capital with which labor works. The
country which has a comparative
abundance of land and capital and
comparative scarcity Of labor will have
high wages, as is true of the United
States In a country like China, where
men are abundant, capital scarce. and
land scarce, land rents viii be very high,
interest rates will be very low, tariffs or

no tariffs. American labor Is high, in
comparison with European labor, be-
cause land and capital are relatively
scarce, whereas in Europe. land and
capital are relatively scarce and labor
relatively abundant.
The great rise in wages in the United
States since the pre-war days has not
been due to the tariff. We had high
tariffs before the war. The greatest
factor in the rise Of wages has been the
restrictions OF Immigration first. those
imposed by the war itself by the mill
tary situation. and, second, those i'm
posed by legislation after the war.

everything to gain. by and large, from a

controversies regarding the tariff, as
we used to hear the matter discussed in

or a surplus capacity to produce fine
manufactures. But If the tariffs were
lowered, these gluts would disappear.
-
TarifT Not Only Factor.
1.-THE tariff does not tell the whole
story of our great depression, of course.
If there were time, should like to dis
cuss other contributing causes, especially
the resistance to price and wage read
Iustments, the Embellishments in the
money and capital markets, and the
dificult situation which governments
and great industrial combinations have
created in the efforts TO maintain arti-
ficial prices for multitude of COM
modities, as coffee, copper, rubber, cot
ton and wheat. The wheat situation
especially has become incredibly difh--
cult. Our own Government stepped
into a situation in 1929 which govern
ments and pools in other countries had
already made impossible. Lowering the
tariffs will not correct all the evils
which come from all these causes. But
it would help enormously, even in this
very difficult wheat situation.
We Can Act Alone.
There are those who would say that
II is well enough to reduce the tariffs,
If all countries will do 1t, but that no
country can do it alone And many OF
the small countries of Europe. especial
". make this plea, saying that while
they would gladly go into general
world movement and would gladly fol-
low the lead of some great country, they
alone cannot venture to do it, But Hol-
land and Sweden, two of the small
countries of the world, and two Of the
most intelligent and enlightened coun-
tries of the world, do not feel this, and
do not believe It. Through all the ma
tionalistic struggles and competitions OF
the postwar period. they have quietly
adhered to their policy of admitting for
eign goods without unreasonable re-
straints, and they are today eminently
satisfied with the results of their policy
Their economic difficulties today are less
acute than those of most other Coun-
tries. While many of the countries OF
Europe were building higher and higher
walls to keep out foreign grain, Den
mark quietly bought all the grain that
any one chose to send her. at low prices
using it to fatten pigs from which to
make the very superior Danish pork
products, particularly bacon, which she
sold at good profits.
Our tariffs were too high in 1929. We
should have lowered them. Instead we
raised them. Many foreign countries
rapidly responded by raising their tariffs
in retaliation. There are those who are
hopeless about the matter, because they
say that no country can act alone.

and getting into lines where returns are
better. Taking time enough, we can
finally readjust ourselves, and the rest
of the world can -readjust itself, to this
tariff situation. We can curtail agricul-
tural production, we can abandon farms
and farmers can move to the cities and
find new ways of making a living. We
can reduce the production of automo-
biles. of copper, of oil, of cotton, of agri-
cultural machinery, and other impor-
tant export lines. We can crowd more
gagged in producing for the domestic
market. But this is slow process, and
painful process, and an unnecessary
process. We can cut through and can
make this readjuStment unnecessary If
we can restore our foreign trade. and
we can do that by lowering the tariffs.
From many parts of the world COM
plants come of SURPRISES OF goods. The
cry of overproduction comes to us at.
time when, all over the world, produc-
ton is sharply lowered from what it
was year or two ago. There Is talk of
overproduction of grain and live stock.
And certainly We have more Of these
basic foods in the United States than
our people can consume. But there are
many in Europe eating black bread who
would gladly eat white bread If they
could afford it, and there are many in
Europe eating meat once a week who
would gladly eat meat three, four or
five times a week If they could afford it.
They cannot afford 1t because their
hands are tied by lack of markets for
the fine products which they turn out
with limited tools and machinery. But
with an abundance of skilled hand work,
they make fine things which we cannot
make so we'll in this country, because
labor is relatively scarce and high
priced for us, and we use our labor eco
nomically for mass production in COM
bination with great masses of machin-
cry and equipment, or in combination
with our broad acres of land. A sur
plus and glut of agricultural products
