who gets in his war and perhaps hurls an insulting ° ribun © | epithet. rf there & an unavoidable delay for a moment, sit i g ut gayest tt Mongrel Tariff Revision ‘With the passage of the tariff bill and the reference fof the measure to a conference committee of the two houses comes the opportunity for the senate to resume the playing of politics over the debenture provision in- serted in the bill despite. a previous rejection when the farm relief bill waa similarly in conference. ‘The former rejection of the bounty plan for making wmarketable the surplus productions, as of wheat, was ac- complished by the house conferees persisting in refusal to accept the plan. They did so in support of President Hoover, who had taken a stand against this piece of communism even before the senate enacted it as a part of the farm board bill. Eager to hector the president and damage his farm relief plan, tlie coalition of Democrats and satellite Re- publican insurgents jammed the debenture provision into ‘the farm board and marketing bill by the narrow mar- gin of 47 to 44 and then enacted it. Baffled by the vourage of the house conferees in standing out against fposed, or of vetging the tariff bill. This time the vote was 42 to 34, ‘This is how the situation now stands between the White hhouse and the party betrayal masquerading under party colors in the senate, On the part of the Democrats, their position is custom~- fry. Their traditional position on the tariff has been in this difference of opinion. The Democrats for revenue purposes alone had to resort to tariff duties far in excess of some of those previously sponsored by the Republicans, thus invading the realm of protection, while the Repub- Yicans passed some bills in which the‘ need of revenue obviously was as important as protection, thus com- mitting the party in part to the Democratic principle of She voted with the house Republicans and there was attling of she said. = queer feature is the opposition of the Repub- licen insurgents. They have not been helpful at any stage.of the proceedings. They have reasoned in heresy ridiculous alike from the Republican and Democratic standpoints and have been more ante-bellum Democratic than the Democrats. They have ranted over the prin- teiple of protection in the most maudlin terms, contradict- fng.in one statement what they arguéd in another and swithout a Vestige of that fine doctrinal authority which ‘was the glory and power of William McKinley, Tom Reed, John Dalzeil,-David Henderson and Uncle Joe Wannon in another generation of tariff makers. ‘At-the same time the Eastern Republicans, led by Sena- for Moses and Joe Grundy, have used poor and antagon- {zing psychology in trying to force an industrial revision of the-tariff when the purpose of the president in keep- ing with the Republican national platform of June 12-15, ‘1928,. was merely -agricultural duty revision. Agriculture ‘called for as'a possible remedy, certainly not a harmful treatment. Both East and West failed to rise to this ‘casion. They were both too intent on embarrassing the president and doing him a political injury. It has become a superstitution that the tariff is a good means if striking at a president for the sake of political gain. Hence we have this debenture fight all over again. President Hoover in his letter attacking the idea as un- sound listed ten reasons—all as good now as then— for-his disapproval. Among them he said that the he bawis his horn, and the aggregate efforts of the en- tire g-2"p cf gasoline-intoxicated maniacs turns bed- lam loose. Filling the alc with raucous mechanical lowing, yawl- ing and screeching is an attendant symptom of gasoline madness. Dashing ahead through dense traffic and horning everybody out of the way is another. The mani- festations vary with the age and temperament of the subject, but even in the mildest natures the tendency is toward crude manners, lack of all consideration and com- plete inhumanity. The State’s Chief Road Need . ‘The call of the Hettinger delegation of Adams county Officials and business on the state highway commis- sion to present the cause of good road needs in that sec- tion of the state again directs attention to the isolation of the several extreme southwestern counties from the re- mainder of the state for lack of both connecting railroad faciliies and permanently improved roads that can be traveled in all seasons and all kinds of weather. ‘The state should not longer leave this territory outside the fold. At the earliest moment possible in the formula- tion of road programs, a link which will bring not only Hettinger, on highway No. 12, but Bucyrus, Reeder, Scran- ton and Bowman to the westward and Lemmon to the eastward into improved highway connection with the hub of the Slope—which is Bismarck—should be provided for. ° As the southwestern North Dakotans say, they are neither of North Dakota- geographically under present conditions, nor of South Dakota or Montana politically, yet divided between those two states by the fact that whenever they go out of their towns by rail they are con- find to going to the state to the south or that to the west. They want their political relations-with their state expanded to full busineés relations as well. The accom- plishment of this, how and when, depends on how the state highway commission is going to treat them. It must be an extremely important road need if there be any that should have precedence of the southwestern situation. The connection of the counties of Adams, Het- tinger, Slope and Bowman is the most needed improve- ment in the state today. It means the rounding out of North Dakota by annexing that part which now virtually is outside the state and cut off as if it were alien area. With Morton county doing its share in road improve- ment which will establish fair connection with Mott, it should be the task of the state to improve a link from that county seat to. No. 12 highway at White Butte or Haynes and thus make these outlying sections an actual Part of the state. A Good Vocation Is Calling ‘The -high- school students probably got their best | » vocational hunch from the talk given them some time ago by A. R. Miesen, county agent. He spoke on farm- ing, and one of the divisions of his talk dealt with the) = extension service, research and agricultural teaching branch. Now Dean Nisonger, Ohio Agricultural college, an- nounces that the supply of agricultural branch teachers for the big colleges and universities is running short. In 13 midwestern states where 1,475 agricultural teachers were employed this year there will be 159 vacancies next | year, as well as need for 113 additional teachers. i Farming is gaining a fascination as it developes scien- | tifically and mechanically. This fascination extends no | less to the solution of its economic problems. The re- | search field of agriculture, therefore, should prove an | attractive future for young men of explorative and ex- perimental temperament. - ‘There may be drudgery about farming of the old type, in which hand operations were. mainly carried on or | with animals as the tractive power, but with intricate machinery to perform the work so mueh ‘better now, a1" farmer can be very much of a gentleman in appearance | and tastes and knowledge.

Sheppard of-| the North Makota agricultural college, or F, B, Linfield, of the Montans Agricultural.college, or Alva Agee, of the Rutgers agricultural department. And consider the late Luther Burbank. These either are teachers or of the teacher type of agriculturists, and the marks they have made or the things that they have done should be an inspiration for any young man with the least predilec- tion for making things grow to take up agriculture as a vocation. The announced shortage of teachers of this|, ought to.encourage any such impuls>. i or poi ae Many a last year’s lid covers a head full of sense. Editorial] Comment Throw Him Out (St. .Paiil.
