There is pioneer man of Port
land, whose genial personality makes
him a welcome visitor in Portland

couldn't even remember their name,
all he knew was that they were in

trouble but what have had the en-
enlargement of his kindly fninistra,
lions. so stupendously generous is
he that one can only marvel that in
this day of selfishness such rare
beautiful soul as this is actually
among lis. You may say, well any
one can do this If they are in pos
session of much worldly goods, youth
and health. 1t Is true, that the
subject of this sketch has nice
job, he has reached the age Of life
where there is JOY in retrospect, but
he himself has known the tortures
of pain and he often goes about his
errands of mercy and friendliness
with cane to aid him. He has
actually been the bridge that has
carried many friend safely across
the chasm of despair and worse. He
married a widow a number of years
ago. who had three children by a
former marriage, and If you could
only hear these young folks say
Dad" when addressing him, you
can tell by their endearlng tone of
voice that he is every whit father
to them. You have no doubt guessed
the name of the man about whom
this sketch is written. Yes, Geo

In all communities there are found
interesting personalities. In fact,
some are unsung heroes, on account
of their retiring and modest de-
meanor, feeling perhaps that the
joy they bring to others is justifica-

and the sharing of their money. We
are prompted to carry short write-

PRESIDENTS FAMILIES

Some facts regarding the family rela-
lions of our presidents may be of interest, as
they are probably little known to the average
reader. How many, for example, could tell
offhand how many presidents never married
The answer is, only one, Buchanan.
All the rest were married, and five of
them married twice, Tyler, Fillmore, Ben
jamin Harrison, Roosevelt and Wilson Sew
en- married widows, Washington, Jefferson,
Madison, Jackson, Fillmore, B. Harrison and
Wilson, the last three taking widows as their
second wives.
The wives of jefferson, Jackson, Van
Buren, and Arthur died before their hus-
bands became president. Cleveland went in
to office as bachelor, but was married dur
ing his first term.
Washington, Madison, jackson, Polk
and Harding were childless. Tyler was the
father of IA children, seven by each of his
wives. w. H. Harrison was the father of
10, Hayes was the father of eight, Jefferson,
Taylor and Roosevelt were the fathers of
six each. ~
Two widows of presidents remarked.
Mrs. Cleveland married T. J. Preston, Jr.,
a professor of archaeology, in 1918, about five
years after her husbands death. Mrs. Ben
jamin Harris married James Blaine Walker,
Jr., her third husband in 1921, when she was
GA years of age.
The most unusual circumstance connect
ed with the marital relations of any president
concerned Andrew Jackson. Believing that
Mrs. Lewis Robards had been divorced from
her husband, he married her in 1871, only
to discover that the decree of divorce had not
yet been granted. Later the decree was is
sued and Jackson remarked Mrs. Richards
in 1884.

ROOSEVELTS FARM RECORD

A recent advertisement, inserted in the agricul-
tural magazines, by the Democratic Campaign Com
mittee asks the farmer readers of the publications
in question to vote for Candidate Roosevelt on his
farm record. Mr. Roosevelt has no farm record.
At Topeka, Kansas the Democrat candidate said
he had lived on farm for fifty yers. The place he
calls farm is elaborate country gentlemans
estate at Hyde Park, New York. This consists of a
paatial mansion of % rooms stable of eight riding
horses, eight garage, cultivted woodland
and elaborate gardens No crops and stock are
raised this estate for sale in any market
New York fails to disclose where he has done any
thing to help the farmers of that state On the
trary, the record shows that he advocated real
tate tax and refused to countenance the suggestion
that the State tax of 000 which falls the
shoulders of farmers, be lifted, that the income
tax might be reduced Today, however, the Demo-
crat standard bearer is telling American farmers
that real estate taxes should be lowered, move
ment that has already been launched by President
Hoover.
Strangely enough this same false and mislead-
ing advertisement speaks of alleged "Sx Point
Program" that is said to be advocated by the Demo-
crat candidate One of the points is "reorganiza-
ton of the United States Department of Agriculture
This is typically Democratic suggestion. The De-
partment of Agriculture has been doing excellent
work for the American farmer The only real rea-
son why the Democrat candidate wants this depart
ment reorganized is because such reorganization
would in the event of his election give jobs to de
serving Democrats The sixth point, therefore, is
that is worthy of the master minds of Tamany
Hall.

A TAX ILLUSTRATION

Everyone knows that taxes of all kinds
have enormously increased during the last
few years, but few realize just what the ex-
tent of that increase has been, or how it af-
fects the producer and consumer of every
commodity.
A concrete and striking Illustration of
what excessive taxation means was given
in recent advertisement of the Alabama
Power Company, which stated that it had
paid out for taxes last year approximately
two million dollars, or II cents of each dollar
of gross revenue collected from it's customers.
1t was further shown that inasmuch as
the revenue received from the average home
was $37 a year it took the entire receipts
from $4,000 homes for whole year to pay
the company's taxes.
This looks like an unreasonable burden
to place upon any industrial enterprise, yet
proposals to place additional taxes upon the
company have been made recently by legis-
lators seeking more funds to feed the insati-
able appetite of the tax eaters.
No doubt similar situation exists in
many other states besides Alabama, where
extravaganza in government expenditures
are seriously Gripping business, industry and
agriculture. But the people are aroused and
seem determined to call a halt on the orgy
of tax-spending which has brought upon
them these intolerable burdens. They can
only do it at the ballot box, where wasteful
officials may be relegated to private life.

THE CONGRESSIONAL FREE FOR ALL

The Congressional race in Minnesota is
being somewhat submerged because of the
active campaign being carried on for Presi-
dent and Governor. This year the voter
must select nine to vote for, while in former
years he has only been required to select one.
The Republicans, as whole have prob
ably never nominated nine ADLER candidates
for these important positions than this year.
The Herald predicts they will elect at least
six. Congressman Paul Kvale, of Benson,
Farmer-L aborite, has splendid chance to
be elected. Magnus johnson will get flock
of votes. Henry Arens and Einar Hoidale
have outstanding chances of being elected
Of the two Mr.. Arens is decidedly preferable
The Herald editor is very friendly to
John Coughlin, newspaper friend, and Demo-
cratic candidate from Waseca. We shall vote
for him. The editor makes the following
recommendations for Congress:
Gov. Theodore Christensen, Republican.
Ex-State Auditor Ray p. Chase, Republic

THE FORK OF THE ROAD

Engrosed in the relatively unimportant
agitation of national campaign, the people
of the United States have given little atten-
ton to the international drama about to be
staged, which might easily be transformed
into another worldwide tragedy.
We refer to the forthcoming ornaments
conference at Geneva. The decisions of that
conference may determine the fate of count
less millions who are still suffering from the
disastrous effects of cruel and devastating
World War which is supposed to have ended
Ia years ago.
The question is simple, but the answer
is difficult. The question is: Shall the ma
tions earnestly seek to promote world peace
through a mutual agreement to disarm, or
shall they revert to the rule of the jungle,
whereby might makes right?
If ever in the worlds history there was
need for calm and dispassionate considera-
ton of the problems which confront the ma
tons, that time is now. Some signs point to

Every time the tariff has been raised or lowered
on eggs and egg products, the effect has been inn
mediate. In fact, the effect has been apparent be-
fore the change in the tariff became law. Antici-
pating an increase in rates, importers rush large
shipments in order to avoid paying the higher rates
and anticipating lower rates they delay shipments in
order to profit by reduced rates.
Before the rate on shell eggs raised enough
to become effective importers dumped cheap Chinese
eggs the markets of the United States in direct
competition with our own. Raising the tariff ma
terialy reduced the volume of imported eggs This
caused exporters in China to break and freeze the
eggs and ship them to at lower cost for trans
portation and lower relative tariff duty. When the
rates on frozen eggs were increased the Chinese
porters turned the shell into dried egg products
which still further reduced the cost of transporta-
ton and enabled them to obtain in relatively lower
tariff rates.
"As result of the long struggle to secure pro-
tective rates on eggs and egg products have
significant change take place. Firms which form
ery froze and dried cheap Chinese eggs in China and
opposed efforts to- secure adequate rates, now are
supporting higher rates because they have their
capital invested in freezing and drying plants the

the possibility of agreements, which might
make for lasting peace, but there are
OminouS clouds on the horizon which may
presage the approach of another worldwide
storm. Fear and distrust, not to mention
the urge of national pride and ambition, still
stalk over the earth.
AS for the United States, her position
has been clearly and Enthusiastically stated by
President Hoover, who has suggested plan
for the reduction of all ornaments by one
third as a starter in the direction of elimi-
mating all offensive ornaments. This country
wants peace, and is willing to make any rea-
sonable concessions to obtain it, not only for
ourselves but for the rest of the world as
well.
But the President served notice in his
Navy Day speech that unless other nations
show like disposition to accommodate their
differences by peaceful negotiations, the
United States will be forced in self defense
to build navy equal to any in the world for
the protection of our people and their COM
merce on the high seas. This timely declara-
ton should have SOLDERING effect upon the
Geneva conference, and it is to be hoped that
it will have such an effect.
Civilization is at the fork of the road.
On the one hand lies the avenue to peace and
the rehabilitation of the world. On the other
lies the path to utter disaster and ruin. The
gentlemen to be assembled at Geneva have
the heavy responsibility of deciding which
road they shall take. And upon that decision
may rest the fate of civilization itself.

WINNIPEG AND SOUTH ST. PAUL
CATTLE PRICES
Minneapolis Tribune


That the Republican protective tariff does pro-
tect the American farmer on those products which
are produced on a domestic ccnsumptive basis Is
cleaIy demonstrated by the sharp decrease of for
eign agricultural imports into the United States.
True the Democratic advocates of competi-
tive tariff tariff for only, deny this. They
assert with every emphasis that the decline in agr
cultural imports is due to other than the Re-
publican protective tariff. Just their favorite
explanation of the decline in agricultural imports is
the low purchasing power of the American people,
They that the products not shipped in be-
cause there is market here for them.
A comparison of the cattle prices at Winnipeg
and South st. Paul shows rather concusively, we
think that the present protectivet arif does pro-
tect beef cattle producer The tariff cattle is
cents pound for cattle weighing over $50 pounds
and 2h cents pound on cattle weighing less than
$50 pounds. In considering the comparative prices
below, it should be remembered that the Canadian
dollar is only worth about 80 cents in American
money The South St. Paul price is really 10 per cent
higher than the Winnipeg prices as shown.
The following comparative figures are for Sep
TENDER 10th. They taken from the Winnipeg
Free Press and the Minneapolis Tribune:

FARM AUTHORITY ANSWERS ROOSEVELTS
FREE TRADE THREAT

Declaring that protective tariff is an essential
safeguard for agriculture James E. Rice Professor of
Poultry Iusbandry at Cornell University answered
the question: do you believe that protective tariff
is a benefit to the American farmer" by saying:
Absolutely yes. He has everything to gain and
nothing to lose If the rates equally made. The
principle is eternally sound and the history of
America and other countries which have adopted the
protective principle bears witness to the accuracy
of that statement Not only that but the benefits
which accrue to the farmer through protective
tariff agricultural products is reflected mmed-
lately in larger purchasing power of the farmer for
all manufactured products. This, in turn reacts IA
vorably upon all labor and business. Partly
suit Of the protective principle people are the
envy Of the world. Until such time the competing
nations of the world are able to pay high wages
when measured in purchasing power reflected in
hours Of labor, education, recreation and home
forts, it is national duty to maintain the prn-
ciple of the protective tariff.
"The time for free trade tariff for revenue
only is not near at hand. To throw open the doors
or let down the bars to unrestricted international
competition would be the calamity which
could happen to this nation particularly at this time
when we are definitely the way to economic
covery.

Tariff

The comparative prices, we think, substantiate
the assertion that the Republican protective tariff
on livestock does protect the American farmer. If
the American beef producer wants to back to the
Underwood tariff rates which permitted Canadian
and Mexican cattle to come into the United States
free of duty under competitive tariff, Governor
Roosevelt is his logical choice for president.
Discussing the agricultural tariff, Governor
Roosevelt said in his San Francisco speech: -
"And I propose as temporary measure until
reestablish world trade through sensible meth
cd of tariff by negotiation, propose to provide for
the farmer, what he calls tariff benefit That, my
friends in simple terms means that the farmer is
to receive price for his product that part of his
product that is concumed in the United States, a
price equal to the world price these commodities,
plus the amount of the Democratic tariff"
If this statement means anything, it means that
under a Roosevelt Democratic tariff the beef pro-
Queer of the northwest would receive the Winnipeg
price for his cattle. places the Democratic tariff,
which under the Underwood law was exactly MOTH
ing. Instead of receiving today from $3.50 to $S75
for his good to choice steers in South St. Paul, he
would receive from $3.50 to $425 from So to $3.50
less than he is receiving. Governor Roosevets
words, and the Winnipeg quotations. prove it.

them come to time. I, as mem,
Der of the State Board Of Equali-
zation, had hand in this, and
Lind was defeated for reelection.
They got Brookhart in Iowa (may-
be), they got LaFallotte in Wiscon-
sin, and if we are not on guard they
will get Olson. Why? not because
your taxes have gone up, for they
have not. Sit down and read over
your tax receipt. If same are high
er now than they were two years
ago vote against Olson.
Coming back to tax dodgers,
which if it was not for these our
taxes would be much lower yet
and sixteen or more counties in this
state would not be bankrupt, for
it is the same persons and concerns
that we now hear of lodging their
taxes in the cities, that own these
northern lands.
The Equalization Board under
Lind started to enforce some laws
taxing public utilities and it was
fought in courts for years and a
man by name of Wallace, an at
torney who had made himself IA
nous in North Dakota for support
ing tax laws in that state was
brought here to fight the state and
later practiced law in Minneapo-
lis and specialized in tax cases
where it is fact that workers and
small property owners have a real
grievance. This man was appoint
ed by Olson to the State Tax Com
mission and the fire works started
and If Olson is Governor next Feb
ruary he will appoint another Com
missioner so he will have the ma
Jority on this Commission and it
means millions to them and the
backus, the Walkers, the Algers,
the Shevlins and others will either
pay the taxes on their lands or
lose them. Are you going to help
these parties save their lands and
save millions that belong to the
city, county and state, taxes that
other taxpayers have to make up

You are going to vote the Farmer
Labor ballot straight from Olson to

If it was not to get Olson and
that they are afraid that Townley
will be elected these men would
not be picked out for their abuse.
Why do they not abuse others, of
our candidates? Because they
think it is too big a job.
