Two rulings made recently by the North Dakota food com- missioner and chemist should be widely adopted throughout the United States to protect consumers from the machinations cf unscrupulous food dealers. The first of these applies to canned salmon for human con- sumption, It is based on knowledge of the fact that all salmon are not alike. In fact, there are five different kinds of this fish, ranging from Oncorhynchus nerka or red salmon, one of the finest edible fishes known, to Oncorhynchus keta or dog salmon, something which is far inferior in quality. Another name for the dog salmon is “chum” salmon. Beginning January 1, all salmon sold in North Dakota must he designated according to the following standard: Rewspaper a All rights of repu 1. Red salmon (blueback or sockeye). 2. Chinook (king or spring salmon). 3. Coho (medium red or silver salmon). 4, Pink or Humpback salmon. 5. Chum, keta, or dog salmon. The housewife who buys a well-advertiscd brand put out by a packer who has spent money in building up a reputation can be pretty well assured that the label on the can will tell her what is in the container, but the “gyp” brands are likely to con- tain misleading statements. The new ruling makes these legal. : The second ruling applies to canned dog, cat and pet food. Under its provisions, manufacturers of these items must con- torm to a far higher standard than most of them do now. After analysis of 28 samples of 15 brands now on the market, the commissioner found that 35.per cent were short in weight; 41 per cent were deficient in protein; 30 per cent were deficient in fat and 35 per cent contained excessive crude fiber. Moisture content ranged from 59.9 per cent to 80.per cent. Many of them were found to be loaded with cereals, such as soybean flour. As a matter of fact, the commissioner found, nearly all of the brands were pretty poor food for dogs. How manufacturers of this material must improve their 2 standard is indicated, by the fact that, after December 1, all dog food sold in this state must contain “50 per cent by weight of fresh, sound meat or fish and 75 per cent of the protein con- tent must be of animal or fish origin, with a minimum of 10 per cent protein and 2 per cent fat and a maximum of 1 per cent of crude fiber.” Both rulings should and probably will be welcomed by reputable packers and manufacturers. They should know that the type of business “chiseling” outlawed by these rulings hurts the entire industry in which they are engaged. On the other hand, housewives cannot be expected to keep ir mind all of the technical details which make for high-grade or low-grade canned goods. Her best bet will continue to be the purchase of goods made by firms which cannot afford to be caught misrepresenting the quality of their products. A Chance for Us If America is to resume a leading place in world commerce as an exporter of pork products it is up to the northwest to pro- duce the hogs. That is the clear implication of an analysis of the pork trade contained in a publication sent out by Armour and Com- pany, leading packers. Even before maladjustments in the commercial situation forced our pork out of England, the principal importing nation, we were losing ground rapidly simply because the English pre- ferred ham and bacon from Denmark and other countries to that from the United States. They complained that our corn-fed pork was soft and flabby and lacked the flavor they liked, the reason being that our hogs were fed on corn which contained more oil than pork fed on bar- ley, wheat and dairy products. Now the situation is further complicated by the growing tendency to feed pigs on such things as peanuts and soybeans. These feeds contain a great deal of oil and the meat produced from them is so soft and flabby as to be often not merchantable at all. “Hogs from districts where soybeans are grown and fed, largely come to slaughter with such soft and flabby cover- ing that the cuts are often not merchantable at all,” says the Armour analysis. Then it adds that soybeans do not produce pork as oily as that from hogs to which peanuts are fed. The result of this, the article makes clear, is to penalize all hog producers because a “soft” animal looks as good as a firmly- fleshed one on the hoof and the packers have to deduct from the purchase price of all hogs enough to make up for the soft carcasses which are foisted upon them. This is particularly true at the big markets where hogs often pass through a num- ber of hands before coming to the packer and he is unable to establish whether or not they came from “soft hog” areas. To prove the lack of quality in soft hogs, pictures of bellies, loins, hams and lard from soft and standard hogs are presented. Since the soybean now is extensively grown in Illinois, In- diana. Iowa and Missouri and both soybeans and peanuts are grown in the south, it is obvious that restoration of our export trade in pork can come only if the northern states, where barley, corn gnd alfalfa are the chief feeding ingredients, come strongly into the market. j The Bismarck Tribune Behind the Scenes The Campaign G.. O. P. Leaders Feel They're Mak- ing Gains by Pushing ‘Communism’ Issue; Dubinsky fs Pictured as Bogey Man By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) . Chicago, Oct. 19.—Mr. David Dub- insky of New York is getting to be a celebrated character out on the prairies. The Republicans hope to make him rural America as Dr. Rexford Guy Tugwell. - National committeewomen from va- rious states who flutter in and out of campaign headquarters in Chicago re- port gleefully that Dubinsky is get- ting to be a household word. Simultaneously, some of the keen- est G. O. P. strategists assure this writer that “Communism” has come to be the biggest and best issue of the 1936 election fight. Until recently they thought the best vote-getter would be federal spend- ihg, with special stress on WPA, and beYore that the Constitution-supreme court issue had seemed the likeliest. Recently the idea dawned that the “Red stuff” could be pushed more or {less quietly in the east and be made effective among Roman Catholic vot- ers, who presumably. would be angry at reports of murder of Spanish priests end correspondingly bitter at the New Deal if any bond of sympathy between it and the Spanish Leftists could be suggested. e** & Scare for Democrats The effort proved so successful that Democratic leaders became alarmed. Their alarm led to Roosevelt's re- pudiation at Syracuse of Communist “support” and to the White House statement blasting the Hearst “Red scare” campaign—two moves which Republicans in Chicago privately de- |scribe as blunders which really en- abled them to open on “Communism” and abandon most previous squeamish scruples, To their delight they found, they say, that the familiar old bogey could be plugged effectively, not only among Catholics, but also in small towns such as those where Al Smith was anathema in 1928. Today spokesmen of the party are out on the hustings, hammering merrily away at it. This is a good place to sum up the bases for the “Communism” charge against Roosevelt, one of whose pri- mary claims is that he has saved and will save America for democracy, as opposed to either Fascism or Com- munism, eee Why Reds Favor Roosevelt dential candidate in Earl Browder, but they much prefer Roosevelt's elec- tion to Landon’s for this reason: They know they can propagandize mocracy, byt would be wiped out un- ler Fascism. ‘And théy believe that Fascism might be more likely under Landon than under Roosevelt. Roosevelt, candidates for state office in Minne- sota to withdraw in favor of Farmer- Laborites, a practical political move designed to “unite progressive forces” and prevent a Republican victory for both state and national tickets. nesota Farmer-Labor party is endors- ed by Minnesota Communists. the International Ladies’ Garment Workers, who has been in a more or less persistent state of fluster because his members are divided between allegiance to the A, F. of L. and the John Lewis C. I. O. * * x Dubinsky Fought Reds Dubinsky'’s name appears as a pres- idential elector on the Democratic ticket in New York and on the pro- Roosevelt American Labor Party's ticket. He is an ex-Socfalist who has fought Communist invasion of his union for years—and has been getting testi- monials from employers in the gar- ment industry to that effect. Awhile ago, Dubinsky’s union con- tributed to and Dubinsky collected for a fund which went to the Spanish Loyalists. Republican Chairman John Hamil- ton flatly declares Dubinsky helped finance Spanish Communists. Dub- insky and his friends insist the money went to the Spanish Red Cross. Landonites appear to be divided as among those who actually believe there's a “Red menace” in the Roo- sevelt candidacy—one finds few of these at headquarters in Chicago— those who put their tongues in cheek and say everything's fair when you're fighting the New Deal, and those who protest what they consider a fake is- sue and a red herring. Walter Lippmann, a Landon sup- porter, cites the “Red scare” as a réason why the campaign is “tending rapidly to degenerate into a war of meaningless words.” Some of Landon’s close friends in- sist that he will not personally join the attempt the paint the New Deal reti, although he is expected further to accuse Roosevelt of a fondness for “foreign ‘isms’.” ably have more to fear from Commun- ism than has any other group, one hears repeated complaints at cam- paign headquarters that it has become increasingly difficult to raise funds.

Today Indiana resembles Ohio— that is both sides claim the state. It is Communists have their own presi- | unquestionably very close. Three groups will decide Indiana's Place in the electoral column: They are: First, the Negro vote of which there freely and safely under a liberal de- ‘are 30,000 registered in Marion county which includes Indianapolis, Second, the relief workers. Third, the labor vote. g The Republicans are inclined to persuaded Democratic! concede that all three groups will be heavily pro-Roosevelt but their cffort now is to cut down the majority so as to enable the other groups that are pro-Landon to roll up a vote big enough to offset the rest. Indiana shows a strong pro-Landon Republicans charge that the Min-|sentiment in the rural districts and towns. Indeed, the Republican trend is somewhat higher than normal out- Then there's Dubinsky, president of |side the citics. Can the Republicans cut down the Marion county vote? The private polls made by the Republicans and Demo- crats both show a large number of “doubtfuls.” The registration is very high. Allowing for doubtfuls and un- decided, it would appear from these polls that Marion county—a pivotal con likely to go for Mr. Roose- velt. Up in the northern end of the state, Lake county, which includes Gary and the steel mills, is said to be heavier Democratic than it was four years ago.

Discussion of the payroll cut to be imposed by the Roosevelt administration next Janu- ary when every worker has to give up one per cent of his weekly pay and when the employers have to pay one per cent besides is raising a good deal of protest. The particular thing that is hurting the Democrats is the realization on the part of workers that if the employ- ers are saddled with an extra tax it is simply going to increase expenses 80 as to prevent raises in wages for some time to come. My own feeling is that the payroll tax is going to be very unpopular by the time it goes into effect next Jan- vary and that the switching of labor votes in this and other states in the last two weeks of the election will be traceable entirely to the so-called social security tax that workers have to pay. It is not an easy thing to argue with a worker in abstract terms about ben- efits he might get several years hence and it is not easy to tell him that he himself doesn’t know how to take out insurance and that the government must do this for him. Nor is it easy The relief vote which is expected to go is to no small ex- tent intertwined with the Negro vote. The ae Read who have been getting relief y have boasted to their friends about it.
