Credited With Passing Real Laws for Farms in Ses- sion Recently Closed Ellendale, N. D., Oct. 15.—)— Praising the record of Republican ad- ministration in the legislative branch of the government during the past 11 years, Representative Gilbert M. Haugen, Iowa, here tonight opened aj brief speaking tour in behalf of the three North Dakota congressmen who aye seeking reelection. ‘Congressman Haugen, chairman of the house committee on agriculture, will speak on Wednesday night at Carrington and on Thursday at Hillsboro, delivering the same ad- dress at each place, under the aus- Pices of the North Dakota Republican state committee. Congressman Haugen opened his address with a discussion of the re- cently enacted tariff act, which. he said, “made material increases in the | agricultural schedule, and placed agriculture on a parity with indus- try.” Prior to the enactment of the 1930 tariff, he said, the spread of Protection between agriculture and industry was 40.08 per cent, which disparity the new law wiped out. He also dwelt on other accomplishments of the present and preceding con- gresses to sustain his declaration that “the Republican party has been the supporting pillar of the national government.” A Record of Judicious Laws “Practically every wise and judicious law, especially laws beneficial to agriculture, now on our statute books, was placed there by Republican con- gresses. “In the last 11 years, during which the Republican party has had con- trol of the legislative branch of the government, congress has passed more laws beneficial to agriculture than were passed in all the previous his- tory of our country. “Not only did congress pass new laws, but it amended and bettered practically every agricultural law than had been placed on the statute books under Democratic rule.” The American Farm Bureau feder- ation, according to Mr. Haugen, found that the 1930 tariff law increased the tariff on agricultural commodities 1% per cent, as compared with a 5.48 per cent increase for agricultural products, while the Federal Tariff commission, after afi independent in- vestigation, found that agriculture will be benefited to the extent of 68 per cent of the increases in the total duties on imports of agricultural pro- ducts, as compared with 32 per cent increase on industrial products “In other words,” Mr. Haugen said, “the increase in the tariff for agri- culture was more than two to one over industry.” Industry and Farming Dependent Increases in the duty on the pro- ducts of industry will not be mater- ially felt by the farmer, according to Mr. Haugen, who cited the statement of Secretary of Agriculture Hyde that 39 per cent of what the farmer buys is now on the free list, 50 per cent are commodities which the farmer pro- duces, leaving only 11 per cent pro- . duced outside of the farm or not on the free list. “In view of these findings,” Mr. Haugen continued, “there can be no cause for alarm—certainly not by one who believes that a protective tariff or tariff for revenue shall be just and fair to all concerned.” Mr. Haugen declared himself a be- ever not only in a protective tariff, but a tariff effective all along the line. “In order to maintain our high standards of living, high wages and adequate returns from one’s labor,” he asserted, “a protective tariff is Tequired by underpaid labor under armers’ Champi Article No. 25 | By WM. E. McKENNEY if (Secretary American Bridge League) At bridge we soon learn to lead the |fourth best of our longest and strong-) est suit, especially against a no trump declaration when partner nas not bid. There are but few novices who really understand what the lead is about and know how to read it) when made by partner or opponent. | To correctly make this lead. aj thorough understanding of the rule eleven is required. The rule of eleven is a mathematical method which.) when the correct deductions are made, may be your only means of! defeating the opponents’ contract,| and as the same information Is avail- able to declarer, it may work out to his advantage. There are a few players who think the lead of the fourth best ot your longest and strongest suit conveys too much information to the declarer, but it must be remembered that the declarer knows what missing cards are out against him and while the success of his contract often depends upon the knowledge of where certain of the missing high cards are. ‘it is far more important that partners, when they are the opponents. quick- ly convey, to each other where their) strength lies. | Lead Fourth Best The rule of eleven requires that! the card led be the fourth best, or! the fourth from the highest. card j Clear that the American wage-earner of the suit led (e. g. if you held} queen-10-8-5-2, and that was the suit you had selected to open, the five spot should be led). The numeral of the card led should be subtracted from eleven (in this case five from eleven leaves six.) The resuit will tell you the number of cards higher than the card led that are in the hands of the three players other than the leader. Using the above example (partner opening the five spot) if dummy now} held king-9-6 and you, as partner of the leader, held ace-jack-7, you would now say five from eleven leaves six. As there are three cards in the dum- my higher than the five spot, and as your hand contains three higher, you would now know that the declarer held no card higher than the five. If dummy played the six, you would play the seven which would hold the trick. If he played the nine you would win the trick with the jack, while if he played the king you would take it with the ace. The mathematical principle of the} rule of eleven is as follows: Cards in reality begin with the two spot — there is no one spot. Now, let us substitute an eleven spot for the jack, twelve spot for the queen, thirteen spot for the king and a fourteen spot for the ace. Now select 13 cards from one suit of a deck and lay them out on the table in their ranking order. We are calling the ace. king. queen and jack the fourteen, thirteen, twelve and eleven spots respectively. Now select any small card and sub- tract it from the highest card—the fourteen spot. If you had selected the five, you will now find, after de- ducting five from fourteen, that there are nine cards higher than- the five spot in every suit. Much Practice Needed As the card led is always the fourth best. the leader therefore holds three of these nine cards, so instead of saying five from fourteen leaves nine and the three the leader holds from nine leaves six, we shorten the pro- cedure by deducting the three cards held by the leader from fourteen and arrive at the constant figure of eleven. Now, for practice, take the 13 cards of the suit you are using and deal them out in four hands—in any dis- tribution you care to, making sure that the opening leader always has at least four cards. Lead- the fourth best, look at the dummy, look at eith- er of the other two closed hands, and see if you can tell how many cards higher than the card led are in the closed hand. Practice this ‘until you are thoroughly familiar with the working of the rule of eleven. It is very seldom that a card high- er than the eight spot is ever led in the rule of eleven. When the nine spot is your fourth best card, you invaribly have an honor combination that should be led in preference to the fourth best. ‘Tomorrow, examples applying the rule of eleven will be given (Copyright, 1930, NEA Service, Inc.) lower standards of living. I believe in a tariff not to please ‘certain sec- tions or interests, but one that shall apply to the country as a whole.” The Iowa congressman said that | because of the lower foreign wages and lower standards of living, Ameri- can labor and industry cannot suc- cessfully compete with foreign labor and industry.” “Certainly the Amer- ican farmer, tilling his farm valued at $100 to $200 an acre, and paying high wages, cannot compete with un- derpaid foreign labor, cheaper land, equally as productive, much of it selling at less than one-fourth and even one-tenth of the American farm, nor can the American wage-earner, now receiving the highest wage in the world, compete with foreign la- bor.” While speaking primarily from the standpoint of the farmer, Represen- tative Haugen stressed the benefits of ee tariff to the laboring man as well. “According to data compiled by the International Labor office, American wages, measured by their purchasing Power, are from two to six times more than those of the European. Accord- ing to the findings of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average hourly rate in 1927 for all trades was $1.19, the union wage rate per hour in the United States in 1927 was more than two and one-half times as much as in 1913. It seems cannot take the chance of having his purchasing and debt-paying power re- duced to one-half or one-sixth of its Present “purchasing and debt-paying | Power. What is true of labor and the | farmer is true of other industries.” | Mr. Haugen enumerated a lengthy list of bills which he said were enact- | ed by Republican congresses for the benefit of the agriculture in general, and for the dairy industry as well. Every farm law enacted in the last 11 years, including the agricultural marketing act, to estabilsh equality between agricultural commodities and the products of industry, has either been sponsored or approved by the legislative representatives of the numerous farm*groups, he added. He also touched on revision, on which he declared recent Republican congresses have made an unpreced- ented record, and pointed to reduc- tion of the national debt from $26,- 596,701,000 to $16,185,309,000 in ten years, Helping the Veterans “Notwithstanding the fact that liberal increases.have been app! priated for,the veterans of all wars, totaling now more than $800,000,000 annually for compensation, insurance, | eaere nyeep pensions, etc: and that $1,250,000,000 is needed annually for interest and public debt retire- ment, and $720,000,000 for the main- tenance of military and naval estab- lishments, a total of approximately $2,800,000,000, approximately 70 per cent of the total outlay of our gov- ernment, taxes have been reduced from $5,700,000,000 to approximately $3,600,000,000,” said Mr. Haugen. In concluding, Mr. Haugen said: “The one thing above all other things that has made the Republican party a mighty power for the benefit and uplift of humanity is the fact that it has had the courage and wis- dom to stand for that which is eter- nally right, rather than that which might be temporarily popular though fundamentally wrong. “The Republican party believes in @ proper recognition of the services OUT OUR WAY By Williams wees Sle cetnns ae wear eM tapes’ Meu Min es Mey, My, Cad ns uy us WUMY tt § sr bs te “ as MOMENTS WE WOULONT UNE THEY CANT TELL ME “ABSENCE MAKES -TH!
