FORDNEY, Chairman Ways and Means Committee is Chief sponsor for the It is not claimed that the emer-! scientific. It is intended only gency tariff bill is as a relief measure — an immediate __re- lief measure. I hope at the extra session of Congress to see a substitute for this bill enact- ed which will remain in force while we are preparing and passing a sci- entific revision of our tariff laws, As such a relief measure, I hope to see Congress adopt either the Payne or the Dingtey tariff Jaws. These would prevent great importa- tions of foreign goods before we can prepare a new tariff bill. The pending bill imposes tempor- ary duties upon certain agricultural products. Information from many sources shows a serious condition con- fronting agriculturists on account of farm produc Prevailing prices are in many instances far below the farmers” production costs. Present conditions are attributed to a large degree to importations from abroad. For instance: In October, 1919, imports of wheat amounted to 564,756 bushels, but in October, 1920, these imports were 9,802,103 bushels. Jn October, 1919, 1,044,719 pounds of mutton and lamb were imported; in tie same month in 1920 these im- ports were 27,024,972 pounds. : Woo! Industry in Peril qhere is approximately 600,000,000 pounds of wool in storage in the United States, and the spring clip will begin two months hence. This quan- tity of wool is adequate to supply the woo! consumption of the United States tor a full year. Woolen men and stock growers state that the sheep on the western ranges today are mortgaged for more than they will sell tor on the market. The whole sheep industry and th cattle industry are in a most chaotic concition financially. Tie bill attempts to do something that will save many men in these in- dust-ies from bankruptcy. In fixing the items in the bill, the distiessed condition of these people was taken into consideration. Yor Bear Creek and Beulah Luiap Coal call Wachter Trans- fer Co. Phone 62.

Henry T. ding nd Rainey today debate the bill BY I. T. RAINEY, Ranking Democratic Member Way: and Means Committee The emergency tariff bill is pro- tection The situation in which we find ourselves demands other remedies than this. It is pro- posed, for in- stance, to im- pose a tariff on corn so high it will exclude corn from the Argentine Re- public. But im- portations of corn from Ar- gentine have nothing to do with the price of corn in this country. The Argentine corn does not dis- place one bushel of corn grown in the United States. Nearly all of it is brought in tramp steamers to the Corn Produce company of New York, where it is converted into corn syrup for export . Inasmuch as it is exported, the com- pany will receive a rebate of the tar- iff paid. and the tariff will neither keep the corn out nor bring a dollar into the tresasury of the United States. 5 It is proposed to fix a tariff so high as to prevent importation of cattle. It might be logical to embargo the im- portation of fat cattle, but there are few fat cattle imported. Eighty-five per cent. of- the cattle imported are feeders; the rest is breeding stock. There is no attempt to impose a tariff on frozen meats of any sort. The real competition for American cattle growers consists in the frozen meats which come in. But the Chi- cago packers have their plants in the Argentine Republic and can continue to import frozen meats in any quan- tity. Tariff on Wool A tariff which, it is thought, will be prehibitorv is proposed for wool. Most of the great supply of wool on hand is out of the hands of the growers. This bill, therefore, would have the immediate effect of raising the price of the wool which has al- ady been purchased from wool grow- s and is ready for distribution among the woolen mills. ‘The bill amounts to an embargo, in time of ‘peace, on every article which it relates. It will inevitably lead to retaliatory tariffs. Every com mercial nation will quickly responce tu the Challenge we give them. run mad. Bride Disappears While Groom Waits In Vain at Church Dickinson, Jan. 10'—Fred Leder of Tthe isew England vicinity is now more convinced than ever that “true course of love never = runs smooth” and the fact that he is minus a bride goes to substantiate the fact. Leder, in company with his prom- ised bride, Miss Mary Christman, 1% and her father, Dan Christman, drove to New England where he handed the young lady $50 with which to buy a ing dress while he and Mr. an took the train to Mott to ecure the license. As soon as the train left New, land, Miss Christman visited _p: Bt ! around town and told strange and wierd tales of how her parents were forcing her to marry Leder, a wid- ower since her sister's death. She then hired a car and drove to Have- lock, where she remained overnigit. When the men returned to New England that night the girl was not at the appointed place. They then drove to Dickinson expecting to find her there. The next morning, now- ever, they located her at Mott and Sheriff Wellington Wright brought her back to New England that even- | ing. “a Eagerness to read the Congressional Record causes no family spats in this town, | | af . 45 cents. | WOULD = HW MASHERS— Representativ nk Churk of | Florida has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that calls for a year’s ternyin the work- house for mashers. CHARGE POET SLACKING ON LAUREATE JOB Parliament, However, . Won't Stand for Bouncing Bridges For Kipling London, Jan, 10.—Robert Bridges, Poet Laureate of the British Empire, | igs to remain in hat office, despte aj suggeston that he be removed. His fitness to do was questioned the other day i nthe House of Commons by Horatio Bottomley, who asked the Premier if Britain’s national bard had written any poetry on the war, on the declaration of peace er on the unveiling of the cenotaph, and if not, “would the prime minister consider appointing a national poet » whose muse w sam eroattune to the soul of the British nation. Premier Lloyd George replied that “so for as he was aware, the Poet Laureate had written nothing about the events mentioned, but Mr. Bridges had written many poems during tie war, and it was not considered nec- essary to make any change. A wag in the housec ed loud langhter by solemnly suggesting that Mr. Bottomley himself should take over the job. When another member suggested that Rudyard Kipling should be offer- ed the post, there was a chorus of “No!” Mr. Bridges was appointed Laur- eate by former Premier Asquit, his friend and admirer, in 1913. | White Window Boxes.

BRR nt - tributed through the plebi: EBISCITE OF SILESIA CAUSES WAR Bloody Encounters Result as Election Approaches to De- cide Fate | PL Berlin, Jan. 10.—The long, hitter and | often bloody campaign among the vot- ers of Upper-Silésia ix expected to come to an end January 17 with a plebiscite which will decide whether ‘the region belongs to Germany or to Poland. As the time for the plebiscite draws nearer the keenest interest of Germans generally fastens on the rich industrial, coal-mining lands, with the visible fear that the Poles will win the elections. Serious disorders before, during and after the elections are frankly con- sidered probable, although approxi- mately 20,000 troops, 200 tanks and 5,000 police will be strategically dis- e area in an effort to preserve the peace Pres- ence of allied troops and many police, however, has failed to prevent fight- ing during the many months through which the plebiscite battle has raged, and excitement on both sides has been steadily increasing Throughout the autumn and early winter the German government s made every effort to win the sympa- thies of neutrals and Silesians to the German cause Frequent charges have been made that German workmen avere murdered by Poles. The Poles have been ridiculed, their business, political and ial characteristics scathingly cri dd. It is rged by the pro-German campaigners that the Poles are with- out the men who have ability to man- age the great industries of Upper Si- lesia and that under their rule these industries would be bound to decay, the operation of the mines deterior- ate Polish workmen, not so highly Killed or strongly organized the Germans would over-run the region under a Polish regime and, it has been argued, would work for such low wages that the German population would be forced to leave. ’ On the other hand the Polish a tors, and par larly Wojciech Ki fanty, former member of the Reich-! stag, have not only flooded the plebi- s¢ile area with appeals to unite with Pol but have openly threatened the German residents with expulsion | should the Poles win at the elections. , They have brought up the old issue of Prussian interference with religious worship. The fact that Poles were excluded from holding any offices un- der the old regime hi tended to in- tensify their desire to cerry the elec- tions for Poland. * The Germans point out that with the loss of the rich Silesian coal fields it would be doubtful if they could ful- fill their coal deliv program of the peace treaty. ‘They assert that under the Polish government the coal fields would suffer such a decline in pro- duction that they would virtually be lost, not only to Germany but to the rest of the world as well. Into the campaign has entered every prejudice of race, religion, and politics. In view of the intense excitement that prevails, Germans are warned they should not carry arms Poultry Association | Announces Prizes Fargo, Jan. 10.-—The jfremium list for the North Dakota State Poultry association’s 27th annual exhibit, to be staged at the .urgo auditorium during the TriState Stock and Grain Growers convention, Jan. 18-21, has been announced by M.
