GOVERNMENT ASSISTS FARMERS. | Practical and legitimate help to agriculture | demonstrated the other day by a Republican gress when the senate passed without a dissenting)! vote the McCumber bill authorizing a loan of $5,000,-| 000 to victims of the drought in western North Da-| kota, eastern Montana and western South DaKota. The; bill provides a maximum of $5,000,000 to be loaned for the purchase of seed grain, the United States to have a first lien upon the crop when produced. Not) to exceed one million dollars of the $5,000,000 may) be used for feed for livestock, the government to have! the first lien upon the stock as security.

In Montana pretty much the same feeling exists among thore who take interest in public affairs as exists in Wyoming and elsewhere. The Butte Miner takes up the question and adds the following to the general discussion: “It is quite noticeable of Tate that thinking public entiment is turning strongly against the direct pri- emary system of nominating candidate for office. “Jdaho repealed its law some two or three years) ‘ago, after a most unsatisfactory experience with it, and the fight is now on to do the same thing in New ‘York. manner. The bill was favorably reported from the commit-| tee on agriculture by Senator Ladd of North Dakota. | Senator Ladd explained that the section where relief | is to be afforded has a population of from fifty to} sixty thousand people and on account of an annual rainfall 6f only about fourteen inthes dry farming is practiced. Until 1917 good crops had been secured and in the past season a bumper crop was indicated by all of the conditions until July when hot winds de- stroyed the crop. Speaking in behalf of the bill, Sena- tor Ladd explained that it is not proposed to make a donation to the sufferers but to advance them money enough to buy seed so that they may once more get on their feet. Senator McCumber, author of the bill, explained that the farmers have ploughed their lands for the 1922 seeding but on account of the crop failure of “The direct primary is one of those political pan-| last year are entirely without seed and unless the gov- aceas that was foreed upon the people by organized| ernment affords them relief not more than twenty per propaganda. cent of the acreage in a number of large counties may © was made to appear all right i theory, but inj be put in crops at all. ‘practice it has worked out very badly for the people, of this country, for as a rule it kas given them very §nferior public servants. “President Harding ata Lineotn day dinner held in “Washington surprised everybody by his courage in com @emming the plan and by committing himself to the abolition of the method. “Not as much comment -was made upon this declara- ion of the executive as might have been expected, probably owing to other important matters like the soldier bonus, and the ratification of the Washington a APPLYING ECONOMY. Figured in dollars at normal rates, the British budget for 1922-23 will be cut nearly $375,000,000, if the recommendations of the Geddes economy commit-' tee are adopted. These economies do not take into consideration the savings which will result. from the naval holiday agreed upon at the Washington confer- ence. In addition, departmental changes have been suggested which will co-ordinate the three fighting services under a ministry of defense, with a reduction Lower Prices and Foreign Trade ‘The reduction in prices, for which “4 the world has clamoring B half of the 1921 fall in stated values is due to lower prices of the articles forming the trade and Yess than onc- half due to reduction in quantities ‘While the official reports of tm- Porta and exports do not stats quan- tities of all articles entering or leav- ing the country, and while tho units article by article and for the grand total to at least approximate the re Jation which the fall in prices has had to the reduction in stated values of imports and exports, so much dis- cussed In recent montha The results of such ea study of the relative fall in quantities and valyes of all articles for which the quantity can be determined, is presented hero- with. It has been made by transform. ing to the common unit of pounds the quantities of each article of import or export in which the value in 1921 was above $1,000,000 and for which quantities ‘imported or exported ‘are offi¢ialty recorded in any form. This analysis shows for the calendar year 1920 approximately 260,000,000,000 pounds of tmports and exports and in 1921 approximately 200,000,000,000, a reduction of 20 per cent in quantity while the value of the merchandise for which the weight is named falls from $9,832,000,000 fn 1920 to $4,988,000,- 000 in 1921, a reduction of 49 per cent in value, as against 20 per cent in quantity. In exports the fall in quan- tities of all articles for which weight can be shown is 22 per cent and the fall in values of the same articles 43 Across the range aturnin’ brown, Pinto Hawss swingin’ right erlond, Comes Cowboy, lopin’ in ta ‘To join the careless, ’ throng ‘Three months pay in his pocket. - disparag- ing the Kansas and Missouri national guard contngents of the A.

The fall in vatues per unit of quan- tity is most observable in the natural products, food stuffs and manufac turing material. Raw sugar imported, for example, shows a fall of 26 per cent in quantity and 76 per cent in value, coffee an increase of 3 per cent in quantity but a decrease of 43 per cent in value; wool an increase of 23 per cent in quantity but a decrease of 51 per cent in value; hides and skins a decrease of 33 per cent in quantity and 72 per cent in valuo; raw cotton a raricid.

If Great Britain can effect such large sav- ings with a view to discharging her financial obliga- tions to the United States, why cannot the other na- tions who are indebted to us? eto PLACING RESPONSIBILITY. . “Manufacturers of automobiles have applied every the grade crossings. Fatalities from such accidents have steadily mounted since motorists themselves have appeared little impressed with the results of reckless driving. “But a verdict of a New York court the other day, which awarded damages to the New York Central rail- read from the owner of a truck which had been in collision with a passenger train, if used as a pre- cedent for similar verdicts in courts throughout the country, may accomplish much in the way of making drivers cautious as they approach railroad tracks. If they realized that they would be held liable for dam- ges in case of accident, perhaps they would be more careful to ‘stop, look and listen’ when approaching a grade crossing. There are many people who will risk reduce all of these terms of measure- ment to the single unit of pounds, and thus to determine the actual num- ber of pounds represented by all of the imports and exports, except the comparatively small number in which no official record is made of the quantities entering or leaving the country. Of the 13% billion dollars unit of pounds of articles representing about 75 per cent of the total value, and comparing the reduction tn quan- tities with the reduction tn valves, terial and manufactures—shows on the export side an increase over 1520 of 30 per cent In the weight of food- stuffs, but a reduction of 32 per cent in valve; in manufacturing material | fall of 35 per cent in weight and 49 per cent in value and in the manufac- {tures for which weight oan be stated the reduction ts 27 per cent in weight duction of 7 per cent in weight and 47 per cent in value; and manofactur- ing material including petroleum, a 5 per cent reduction in weight and 51 WHITER BREADIliM Hard Wheat Plush Flour Made from selected choice “Turkey Red” Hard ATCT Winter Wheat It is impossible to produce a better flour at any price.
