Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Hoover and the Tariff Tariff has always played an important part in the suc- cess or failure of the Republican party. Defeat of the | party has at times hinged on the protection or lack of protection of one or more important commodities. That commodity has most often been a product of the farm. Many remember still the defeat of Taft, the cause for which can partially be laid at the door of tariff tinker- ing. It was the treatment of wool at that time. Will wheat prove the undoing of President Hoover? The Federal Farm board, for the time at least, will cease a policy which had as its objective the stabilization cot wheat, The general policy of seeking to maintain price levels of agricultural products through heavy gov- ernment purchases in an effort to control the surplus has been abandoned. Benefit Without Understanding It is fortunate for all of us, in this fast-moving age, that we do not have to understand a thing to take ad- vantage of its benefits. ‘The automobile is an outstanding example. Men and! women now drive machines of which they know little | more than to push a gadget, twist a knob here, pull a | lever there and drive in comfort. | ‘The comparison is extreme, of course, for most of us | know far more than that about the machines we drive. If we had to make our own repairs, however, with our generally small array of skill and equipment, the useful- ness of the motor car to many persons would be greatly | diminished. That the modern automobile can be suc- icessfully operated by one knowing practically nothing | about its mechanical details or principles, however, is | |a tribute to the industry. | However, the automotile industry has placed a strain | upon other and allied industries in the way of physical | ‘and mechanical invention to an extent which is surpris- jing. We, who’ know little or nothing about it, get the | benefit. | ‘Phe fact that automotive engineers want to increase | the compression of internal combustion. engines serves as an example. We have heard pf “high compression” for several years, but “high compression” as we know it will be “low compression” in the immediate future if the en- gineers have their way. * To most of us “high compression” is just a trade term but we become more interested when we know that it Now, however, two “fingermen” of a vastly different!

You have been studying the question of the stabilization of | duced operating costs in the machines we drive. We ap- [uate at your disposal an extensive organization in Washington to serve prices in the farm industry. Tariff bounties to other in- ! dustries, virtually amounting to price fixing, have been granted by the Republican party. When the same theo-| ries of tariff protection are applied to the products of the} farm, economists differ most bitterly and the party of Hl President Hoover is badly split on the general issue of i farm relief while it is not so divided in protection for | the manufacturer whose problems of distribution are easy prove, even though we don’t fully understand. problem of fuel. neers contemplate. compared to those which face the farmer. eee Senator McNary of Oregon, father of the equalization fee, was quoted in Washington the other day as follows: “I felt in the past that the equalization fee plan was the sound way of dealing with the exportable surplus of wheat and other crops. I must be shown, however, that we have markets abroad which will take our surplus wheat before I undertake again legislation of that kind.” He declared in addition that the solution of the wheat situation called for increased consumption. eee Farm relief will continue to be a distressing problem for the Republicans. President Hoover tackled it with fair chances of success in the opening months of his ad- ministration but the inevitable log-rolling and legislative trades and deals brought about the Smoot-Hawley tariff which is generally unsatisfactory to the American farmer and may prove a costly blow to Republican success in 1932, The Payne-Aldrich tariff did things to President Taft and a like tariff was largely responsible for the re- tirement of many Republicans in the elections of last year. The Democrats made effective use of the Smoot- Hawley schelules in 1930 and will probably employ them more effectively in 1932 for the next congress promises to give the Democrats considerable political thunder. Relief for the industrialist is treated seriously. Any method to alleviate the burdens of the farmer is tritely referred to as a “political panacea.” It may be possinle to stabilize every industry through tariff protection ex- cept that of the great basic industry—farming. It may be that the farmer will remain the economic goat, but if the present inequalities obtain some surprising political upheavals are sure to happen. The 1930 election results were just the forerunners of these. Taxes, freight rates and marketing conditions have not been adjusted to the efficient marketing of farm prod- ucts as they have been to the distribution of other com- modities. It is not all the fault of political inactivity or governmental inertia. The farmers have to date per- fected no driving and compelling agencies such as pro- tect the vast industries of the manufacturers which con- sume many of the raw materials which the farmer pro- duces at a Joss and sells them back to him at a profit; the spread between what the farmer gets and what the man- ufacturer receives, has caused great economic discontent and strife. see The farmer is probably the “most advised” agent of all industries. One school tells him to reduce his acreage of wheat; another cautions against it, Some agencies agi- tate greater credit facilities and lower interest rates to make it easier for the American farmer to get deeper into debt. Then there is the tariff advocate who urges political action as the proper way to relieve the present situation. Finally there is a group of economists who tell the farmer that wheat prices cannot, be stabilized. They declare that the farmer sells on a world market and tariff walls, price fixing, government control of sur- plus and any of the many remedies are powerless to sustain the greatest industry. All must agree that to date none of the schemes tried has availed much to revive the farming industry. Now that other industry is to some extent in the same boat as the farmers’ the contrast between his failure and the eastern industrialist success is not so great. industries of the nation are suffering despite the tariff bonuses which they get in a much greater degree than does the'farmer. Several cogs have slipped in the in- dustrial world and no one yet knows the way out. ** * One thing must be apparent to the farmers and that is to turn a deaf ear in the future to vote-catching promises and pangceas. The farmers are on the right track when they organize to control their own output as do other..well ordered industries. Some governmental protection and stabilization of all forms of industry are necessary. and legitimate, but no plan will succeed as well as pérfect orgahization of agriculturists to direct their own marketing and to fight against unfair freight fates, inequitable taxation and tributes levied upon them because pertain avenues of distribution are unfairly closed to them or unjustly The great fuel break down or cause motors to knock. ‘The “knock rating” of any gasoline is now generally | knock rating on this scale of between 57 and 66. Hydro- | | genated gasolines have been produced with a rating as | high as 95. In aviation, hydrogenated gas will be especially valu- able. In order to get high anti-knock values in fuels now used, it is necessary to employ a product that is highly | volatile and hence most readily inflammable. In hydro- | genated gas, the heavier fractions of the fuel have the} best anti-knock qualities. This will appreciably lessen | the danger of fire in planes, It is believed that hydrogenated gasoline will soon be generally available to the public. Providing the cost is reasonable and the benefits as great as the experts predict, we shall be glad to use the |new product when it becomes available, if and to the jextent that it is to our advantage to do so. We will usc and care nothing about how it is made or why it became possible. All we will need to understand, if it develops in accord- ance with the prospectus, is that we are benefited by it. | New Industry Needed | Bismarck, more than any other North Dakota city of | prominence, needs a new transportation industry. Hl With the city constantly growing and more people liv- jing in homes relatively far removed from the business | section and their places of employment, some means of transportation is necessary to keep pace with the growth. ‘The logical thing is a bus line, serving every section of the city on regular schedule. It is to be hoped tiiat some enterprising individual or corporation will see in this need a commercial opportunity and install such a service. That urban transportation is a real business may be demonstrated by figures recently compiled to show the size of the electric street car industry in this country. These data show that street cars carry more than 40,000,000 persons daily, or three out of every five riding in the downtown sections of the larger cities. The in- vestment in such property is five and a half billion dol- lars, The industry employs 285,000: persons regularly and pays them $445,000,000 a year. In most urban cen- ters these transportation systems are among the four| largest employers of labor. Electric transportation i; not feasible for Bismarck and it is improbable that a bus system, if inaugurated here, would require as large an investment or employ as many persons, comparatively, as is the case with trans- |-portation systems in larger cities. That it would employ some workers, however, is un- doubted and this would be an added benefit to the city. The outstanding fact, however, is that such a service is needed if Bismarck is to take on the metropolitan aspect which its boosters envision for it. Editorial Comment Fditorlats printed below show t! by other editors, They are publ' to whether they agree or dis: une's policies. trend of thought d without regard with The Trib- Wages and Farm Prices (Duluth Herald) Governor Floyd Olson told the farmers gathered at the Tri-State Dairy congress in Duluth last night that they should be interested in good wages for city workers be- cause city workers must have good wages to be able to pay good prices for farm products. That obviously is true. . The idea that there is a conflict between the farmer and the city worker because their interests are antagon- istic is wholly false. It may seem that the city worker wants low prices on farm products so that he can buy food cheaply, and the farmer wants low wages so he can buy factory products cheaply; but that is a very superficial view. i ‘The very clear fact is that neither can prosper unless ing good prices so that he can freely bily the output of city factories, the city worker can well afford to pay good prices for food the farms because the farmer’s patronage gives him ‘wages. , - And most human antagnoisms are due to much the of @ fundamental truth, which is at the expense of others, fit that does not bene- you in any capacity that relates to One of the principal bars to higher compression is the |information.

Fifty startings of the average automobile engine require as much gasoline as running twenty miles. Q. Where do tropical cyclones orl- ginate? J. L. M. A. The Weather Bureau says that the details of how hurricanes, or tropical cyclones, are started are not definitely known. It is known, how- ever, that they start in the region of the “doldrums,” or calms over the tropical seas, some 8 to 15 degrees or thereabouts from the equator. Many of our hurricanes originate in the general region of the Cape Verde Islands. Q. Is the Louvre in Paris over- crowded with art treasures? A. S. A.

Today Is the ‘Anniversary of VIGNY’S BIRTH On March 27, 1799, Alfred Count de Vigny, famous French poet ana nov- elist, was born at Loches, France. After receiving his early schooling in Paris he entered the army at 16 and served.12 years. While a soldier he had published a small volume of verse, followed two years later by the epic, “Eloa,” an exquisite piece of mys- tic fantasy. In 1826 Vigny published a long his- torical romance, “Cinq Mars,’ which gained immediate and great success. ‘Though he falsified his history a lit- tle in this .work, Vigny gained the distinction of being the first in a field where Dumas and Hugo were to gather brightef laurels. Vigny did his bit in the romantic rejuvenation of the drama by trans- Jating Shakespeare’s Othello and by writing dramas. But he saw the lim- itations of romanticism in drama and never pursued his success. In 1845 he was elected to the Academy. ° | BARBS | Tt may have meant something else to the Indians, but to the average woman shopper the happy hunting ground is most any department store bargain counter. * ee An English lecturer says American writers don’t clearly define their characters.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Enlarged Liver Question: K. L. B. asks: “What causes an enlarged liver? Is it seri- ous? Can it be cured? If so, by what method?” Answer: Enlarged liver is an evi- dence of overeating and faulty eli- mination. It can always be some- what reduced through the proper fasting and dietetic treatment. The size of the liver varies naturally ac- cording to the person's size, so that a very large liver with a small person is of course an évidence of more ser- ious trouble. Fats and Oils Question: Mrs. O. W. asks: “Should @ person having gall stones eliminate all fats and oils from the diet?” Answer: The use of large amounts of fats and oils will often have a good curative effect on dissolving gall stones. The treatment with large doses of ‘olive oil taken just before retiring has been effective in thou- sands of cases of those troubled with gall bladder disorders. The way to use this treatment is to take a mix- ture of four ounces of olive oil beat- en into an emulsion with four ounces of grapefruit juice. This should be taken just before retiring, and the treatment repeated every few days. tic Question: I. M. S. asks: “What is the cause of having a lot of elec- tricity in the body? Silk clings to me like a bathing suit.” Answer: Some people seem to manufacture static electricity more easily than others—a kind: of elec- trical magnetism whenever silk or wool is rubbed vigorously. Those who are nervous and have a sensitive skin usually notice this effect more easily than others who are phleg- matic and have a less sensitive skin. in 1925.
