_ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1929 TARIFF REDUCTION ON FLAX AROUSES | + SHAPER T0 ACTION Governor Protests to Finance| Committee Against the Pro- posed Action on Rate Protest against a reduction in the| tariff on flax was contained in a telegram sent by Governor George F.! Shafer to the senate finance co! mittee yesterday. The senate com: mittee is considering changes in the tariff. In his telegram the governor said: “I wish to prot ay st the re- duction in the flax tariff proposed by the senate finance committee. It is the manifest duty of congress to adopt a tariff law that will substan- tially aid agriculture in the present circumstances, One way this can be done is to place high duties on pro- ducts like flax which is seriously suffering from foreign competition. A high duty on flaxseed will greatly | help the farmers of the northwest because it would be immediately re- flected in price. It would encourage an increased flax acreage which is now desirable, The proposed rate of 56 cents is too low. In my judg- ment a rate of not less than 65 cents should be adopted.” To Aid Farmer In a statement made public with the telegram the governor said: “It should not be forgotten that the special session of congress was call- T Divorces Unknown i In Emmons County | | Linton, N.

Shafer said yesterday. | ‘The question arose in connection with the fact that hunting licenses issued in some counties contain in- formation that the scason on these birds will open September 30, whereas the law fixes the date at Septem- ber 16. The governor said he is under the impression that the game and fish commission at the time the licenses were printed, expected to recommend postponement of the shooting season jby executive order and had the li- censes printed to show the later date jin order not to confuse sportsmen. { No recommendation for a change in the season has been received by |the governor. but if one is received he probably will act upon it favorably, the governor said.

Flax is a conspicuous example of an agricultural] product, the price of which has long been de- pressed by imports from the Ar- gentine. An increase in the duty on flax would undoubtedly be immedi- ately reflected in the price. Would Mean Loss “This would not only mean consid- erable increase in the income of th farmers of the northwest, and par- ticularly of North Dakota where; more flax is produced than in any, other state, but it would likely result | in an increased acreage of flax in! the future and a possible decrease in spring wheat acreage. “President Hoover has already raised the tariff on flax from 40 to 56 cents a bushel by executive or- der under the flexible clause of the present tariff, which is all he can do without further legislatio1 ‘Congressman Burtness has been waging a valiant fight to secure a substantial imerease in the flax schedule in the new tariff bill.
