VOLUME 11. NO .157. OLDFIELD WRITES TARIFF/CATECHISM Arkansas Representative Publishers Booklet Which Is Attracting Much Attention SEVERAL SAMPLES ARE GIVEN Being Sent Broadcast Over Country As a Next Year Campaign Document By Rep. Tavenner. Washington, October 30.-—Repre-| semtative W. A. Oldfield or Arkan-| sas, has written a catechism on the| tariff that is attracting much atten- tion all over the country. Honorahle Frank .E. Doremus of Michiga Chairman of the Democratic Congre sional Committee, is having Mr. Oid- field’s catechism sent broadcast over the county as a campaign document. ! Here are some samples of Mr. Oli- filed’s Tariff Catechism: i “Q. 1 am somewhat confused as to what is meant by the phrase, ‘raw materials,; can you explain it to me? A. Yes. Raw materials are those ma- terfals which are in their lowest and crudest form when they enter com- meree. “Q. Can you name some things which are raw materials A. Yes. Cotton, wool, lumber, iron ore, etc., are raw materials. “Q. What do you mean by free raw materials? A. 1 mean that.the raw materials, such as I have just named, when they are imported into this country from a foreign country, are free of any tariff tax. “Q. What do you mean by the terms tariff tax or customs duty? A. A tariff tax or customs is a charge which is paid at any customshouse for the privilege of bringing a parti- cular article into this country from a foreign country. “Q. Does this tariff tax enhance the price of the article to the con- samer? A. Yes. “Q. 'Will you give me an illus- tration? A. Yes. If a foreign hat merchant has a particular kind of hat which he can afford to sell for $2 -and he brings that hat to this country to sell, and if he weré not compelled to pay a tariff tax he could sell it for just a little more than $2, say $2.25, but if he is com- pelled to pay a tariff tax of $1 on the hat for more than $3.” Heéfe are some questions and an- swers on the subject of wool: “Q. Is it true, as I have heard some people state, that the consum- ers. would not get the finished arti- cle any cheaper if the raw material placed on the frec list? Al ileve 1 can prove by such wublicans as Sereno B. Payne, ~homas B. Reed, and John Dalzell, that the consumers would get the finished products cheaper if raw ma- terials were placed on the free list. “Q. Well, T would like to have the proof. A. When the Wilson bill a Democratic tariff bill, was under consideration in Congress, Sereno E. Payne, John Dalzell, Julius C. Bur- rows, Thomas B. Reed, Albert J. Hop- king, and John H. Gear signed a minority report’ on the bill. In this report they used this language: ‘If the (the manufacturer) can make his goods any cheaper because of free wool, he must sell them just as much cheaper.’ “Q. Well, well, these big Repub- licans admitted that free wool was right frqm the consumer’s stand- point, didn’t they?. A. They did. “Q. Which one of the States in the Union produces the greatest quantity of wool? A. Montana. “Q. How many people live in the State of Montana? A. Five Hun- dred thousand. “Q. How many people in the State grow wool? A. Not more than 1,000. X “Q. Oh, yes. The 500,000 people in the State are taxed for the bene- fit of the 1,000 who grow wool. Is that right? A. You are exactly right.” The tariff catechism is well worth reading. Any one desiring a copy may obtain same by writing to Mr. Oldfield, care of the Capitol, Wash- ing ton, D. C. Maggie Fisher, a 16 year old in- dian girl was taken from the West bound passenger train yesterday af- ternoon, in an intqoxicated conditiom. She was placed in the city lock up where.she was held until sobered up. At the suggestion of the city attor- ney was sent to her home at Cass Lake.

TONIGHT Basket Ball Candidates To Eleet Captain And Prepare For Winter Sport—Coach To Be Appointed MANY PREDICT FAST TEAM Candidates for the Bemidji Ath- letic. Club basketball team will meet tonight in the athletic club quarters where a quint will be or- ganized for this season. Measure- ments will be taken for suits and a vote will be taken as to the kind of suits desired. A captain and coach *|will also be elected. At this meet- ing a date will also be set for prac- tice to commence and the date of the opening game. At least 15 men are expected to report as candidates this evening as| nearly that number have expressed their intentions of trying for the team. Many of the younger members of the club will report as candi- dates for the second team which pro- mises to be nearly as strong as the senior quint. Among the candidates who have an excellent chance of making the team this season are, Carl Jacobson, Ralph Brandon, Al Neuman, Glen Peck, Rem Bell, Paul Howe Earle Bailey, Ace Willey, Ju- llus Bestul, Carl Johnson, Maurice Ryan, William McDonald ‘and Ed.

Snow’is welcomed by the prospecs rtive hunter, whose most ardent de- sire is ‘that‘a few “inches of the downy stuff will fall hetore Nov. 10 rolls ‘around. Bemidji will be the mecca of hun- dreds of big game hunters as soon as the‘season opens. Almost every - railroad:running out of the city taps excellent moose and deer country. The hunter is not forced to go far; from the city to get into the hunting| grounds. - Anywhere “from " " tén to fifty miles on a train will, bring the | hunter into flelds where game may be! found. Dozens of stations on the Minne-|* sota & International and the Soo and Great Northern railroads jump into prominence only during the hunting| season. It is a safe estimate that more tickets are sold for some ~ of these stations in the two weeks of open season than during all the rest of the year. The express figures for these stations, which seldom amount to anything during the ordinary run of business, jump to startling propor- itons when the hunters start ship- ping their deer and moose in. Bemidji railroads have been re- celving letters of inquiry from hunt- ers in states east and soutn, and the predictions for the season are that Bemidji will see more hunters and game this year than for many years past.

Mackenzie Sucoessful In Efforts To Land Convention For Next Year . WILL BRING 300 VISITORS HERE Board Of Charity And Correction In- cluded—Meeting Concluded In Minneapolis Tuesday Bemidji'has again been successful in efforts to land a big conventiom, this time bringing the 1914 conven- tion of the county commissioners of the state and the board of Charity and Correction. The credit for land- ing the big convention for this city is due almost entirely to A. E. Rako, chairman of the Beltrami county board of commissioners who was pre- sent at the convention of the com- missioners recently completed in Minneapolis. gl Works For Bemidji Chairman Rako’s presence at the ieonvention, which was the first time that a Beltrami county member has ever attended the meeting, brought out the fact that Bemidji was on the map and he had not been on the ground long before he un- loaded the information that . this city was after the meeting. W. R. Mackenzie, secretary of the Northern Minnesota Development association at once rushed to his aid and. with the consequence that the delegatem resolved that the 1914 convention should be held here. The date of the convention will be September 26, 27 and 28. -Show Visitors A Good Time In speaking of the bringing of the commissioners here Mr. Rako this morning said. “What 1 wanted to do was rcr show the southern members that Be- midji-and Beltrami county 1s on the’ map.

While here Mr. Hal- lowell made arrangements with the officers of the Bemidji Athletic club for the bringing of his troupe here for a one night engagement being December 7. Mr. Hallowell, who is himself a musician, but who gave up the work as being a member of the company in . order that he might attend to the booking énd, noted with surprise that the Womans Study club had been able to arrange-the bringing of Bo- humir Kryl to Bemidji. Mr. Hallowell said: “The people of Bemidji'are indeed fortunate to be given an’ okportunlty of the world’s greatest ' musicians.
