This advertisement is published by the
Associated Corn Products Manufacturers,
representing the corn products industry, who
purchase and use some IS million bushels of
corn every year.
Naturally, these manufacturers want to
see a stable corn growing industry in North
Dakota because they use large quantities of
this corn to make the products they sell to
consumers all over the country-corn starch,
corn syrup, corn oil, etc.
The Legislature is now considering a proposal
to place a tax on "lard substitutes" which
includes a tax of S cents a pound on corn oil.
Consumers ofcorn oil wouldhave topay scents
more a pound for this product of corn which,
of course, would reduce the amount used.
Two reasons are given for the proposed tax:
First, h it would raise revenue; Second, that
it would increase the consumption oflard.
But obviously it cant do both at the same
time. IF it provided any revenue of impor-
lance it couldn't accomplish any material
increase in lard consumption.
Is it sound, is it good common sense to tax
one product of the farmers effort at the
expense of another?
Let US look at this matter clearly. North
Dakota farmers know we'll enough that the
prices of hogs and of lard usually are lower
with a lower price of corn. If the sale and
consumption Of corn oil is decreased by this
tax, as it will be, the demand for corn is
decreased.
To make one pound of refined corn oil It

CORNWALL PAYS
WALES IMMENSE
SUM ANNUALLY

LONDON, Oct 8. U.P) The
Prince of Wales receives an annual
income from the Duchy of Cornwall
amounting to about sl250,000 d
year.
The revenue forms the largest
single income received by the
Prince, although he owns valuable
property in London and its suburbs.
The income from the Duchy of
Cornwall, after payments for the
benefit of the estate, deductions un-
der various acts, allowances, dona-
tions and gifts to charities are
made, amounts to about S25 900
month.
The Duchy of Cornwall was estab-
lished by Edward III in 1897 for the
support of his eldest son, Edward,
who was afterwards made Prince of
Wales. Since that time the eldest
son of the sovereign has been Duke
of Cornwall and has received the
revenues of the duchy.
Cornwall is reputed to have been
kingdom for a considerable period
following the Saxon conquest. Alfred
the Great made it an earldom and
the county was given by William the
Conqueror to, his half-brother, Ro-
bert de Mortein, in 1868.
The duchy is managed by a coun-
Gil, with a Lord Warden of the
Summaries, Lord Clinton, as the
head.

to the detention home.
The boy told Keating his mother
and father are divorced, and both
remarked Neither the step-father
nor step-mother will permit him to
live in their homes, he asserted, SO
he was forced to take to the road
Juvenile authorities are faced with

WASHINGTON. Oct. 8. U.P)-No
session of Congress would be COM
plete without the farm problem, and
it will be back next winter bigger
and noisier than ever.
Soon after President Hoover took
office he persuaded Congress to
create the farm board, but his early
hopes have been shattered and the
problem which has vexed all post
war presidents is now more acute
than ever.
The farm population may be NOV

reau insists, but the farm problem
stays right where it has been for
ten years, on the necks of politi-
clans.

FARM PROBLEM WILL BE UP
AGAIN IN NEXT CONGRESS

OF ridicule of some of the attempts
OF the board to bolster prices. Pres
ident Hoover regarded the farm
problem as an economic one. but
some Of his advisors frankly regard
wheat and cotton as political, SO
far as Washington is concerned.
They hold that the only cure is for
the farmer to plant less and that
everything else is superficial
Nevertheless, the coming Congress
will be begged down with plans.
They will range from the proposal
of Senator David A. Reed, Rep,
Pa, for abolition of the farm board,
to those of Senator William E. Bo-
rah for a trial of the debenture
plan, and that of Senator Smith w,
Brookhart Rep, Ia, for appropria-
ton of $2,0OO,000,OOo to give the
farm board what he calls "a real
chance" to show what it can do.
Abandon Policy
The farm board has abandoned
its policy of stabiliZation, the at
tempt to raise prices by buying
huge quantities of wheat and cot
ton. The board has announced 1t
will buy no more of either and 1t
is now concerned with trying to
find markets for the surplus. The
$500, 100000 revolving fund appro-
priated by Congress has been ex-
hausted, but Chairman Stone of the
board recently announced that no
more money would be sought in
Congress. The boards concern now
is in getting through the winter
without being condemned to death
by Congress.
With elections next year, pres
sure will be heavy on Congress to
enact further farm relief legisla-
ton, but as any such legislation
will presumably call for money, it
probably will be strongly resisted
by the administration. An effort
will be made to revive the equali-
zation fee, which was vetoed by the
then President Coolidge. The farm
bureau federation has indicated it
will renew its campaign for this
legislation
However, the experience of the
farm board in attempting to sta
bilize prices by removing part OF
the wheat and cotton surplus from
the market has shaken confidence
of many in all such artificial de-
vices and has increased the feel
ing that little can be done, save as
the farmers themselves reduce the
big crops and diversity
