PAGE TWO HEARINGS OPEN IN INQUIRY ON WHEAT TARIFE Seeks Views of Growers and - Millers at _ Conference WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. —Wheat growers, . millers and others whose interests are involved attended the opening today of the tariff commission’s first hearing in connection with its In- quiry into the wheat traffic. Their views were sought by the commis- sion as supplemental to the cost data and other information to be ob- tained by its field experts as a basis for recommendations to be made to President Coolidge on the appeal of the wheat council of the United States for an increase of fifty per- cent in the present wheat duty of thirty cents a bushel. Plans for the latter phase of the inquiry, for which the commission already has laid the ground work, will be considered further at a con- ference of its staff of experts at St. Paul, December 3. Vice chatr- man Culbertson who, !t was stated will direct the task of gathering data on production and manufacturing costs from growers and millers, will attend the conference. The actual field work will be undertaken im- mediately on the formulation of » plans there. of obtaining produetion marketing costs on Canadian ar wheat, which forms the chief com petition in the domestic market also | is expected to be considered at aca St. Paul conference. Although there has been no indication that members of the commission expect to encounter difficulties in this con- nection, the feeling prevails In some quarters that Canadian officials may | not welcome a general inquiry into) the subject in that country. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—Freight rates on wheat from the producing regions of Argentinua to Liverpool| are from three to eleven cents a bushel less than the combined rai!) and ocean rate from wheat produc- ing areas of the United States to Liverpool. This difference, as re vealed in a study of foreign and domestic ratés on wheat made public today by the department of Agri- cuture, is attributed primarily to the proximity of the Argentine produc- ing regions to the seaboard, which offsets relatively higher ocean rates, handing charges and other costs involved in shipping American wheat to the British port, Only a brief session of the hearing was held today, adjournment being taken until tomorrow to permit var- ious North Dakota producers to put their evidence in form, Representatives Young and Purt- hess appeared for the North Dakota producers, and Representative An- derson, of Minnesota, president of the wheat council of the United States, also was presert. The coun- cil was represented by former Sen- stor McCumber of North Dakota, ns counsel. He urged that the in- Vestigat‘en be limited to Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and eastern Montana, and the Canadien provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche- wan and Eastern Alberta, where hard spring wheat is grown . This class of wheat, he said, was the only kind in which there was any compe- tition . A. P. Husband, representing the Millers’ National Federation at Chicago, maintained that in any changes in the tariff on wheat there should be a corresponding change i nthe duty on wheat products so that the same relationship as exists in the present tariff law between the two be retained. FORBES WAS DESERTER * WASHINGTON, Nov. 26—Papers said by the war department officials to show that at one time Charles R. Forbes,-former director | of the Veterans bureau was dropped from the rolls of the army as a de- serter, were turned over to the sen- ate veterans committee today by the department. The records sent to the committee at its request, also was said to show that later Forbes was apprehended, served out his term of enlistment, and was discharged without having been brought to trial. —<——.

PAID CN CROWN JEWELS, EDICT Appraisal Now Being Made by Customs Officers. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—(United Press.)\—The Russian crown jewels, which Prince Felix Youssoupoff, relative to the Romanoff czars of Russia, is said to have brought with him to this country, will be passed by New York custom officers when the appropriate duties amounting to about 80 per cent of their value, are paid, it was stated at the treasury department here today. The jewels brought by Youssoup- off are now being appraised by cus- toms officials in a New York vault. Whether they are the crown jewels as reputed, is not known here. After appraisal Youssoupoff will be asked to pay the duty assessed if he in- tends to sell the jewels here, or to deposit a bond equal to their value if he intends to take them away again when he leaves. The close watch of the customs service for the arrival of the jewels ever since the fall of the czar, was explained here as due to fear that an attempt would be made to smug- gle the priceless gems into this country. This fear was based on the theory that only in this country could a purchaser of sufficient means be found to buy the gems, worth millions. The government has no other interest in the jewels, it was said. ——— NS LISTEN T0 CONSTITUTION TALKS Talks relating to the constitution of the United States and its enforce- ment were given by Jack Scott and W. 8.

The Wyoming Map and Blue Print company has recently receiv- ed two maps front the government cf{fices at Washington that are of great historical interest to people of this region. One of these maps was made in 1775 and takes in what aro termed the territories of North America as owned by the French and English governments. The other map is a facsimile of the o!d Gaud- aloupe-Hidalgo treaty map of 1847 and while the names of the different features are named in Spanish with some English notations, it is of great interest In that it shows how the peoples of those early days con- sidered this region. The early day map of 1775 states in its title that it was drawn by one John Mitchell for the Earl of Hall- fax and the right honourables, the Lords Committee of the Trades and EARLY MAPS RECEIVED HERE OF GREAT INTEREST TO WYOMING known as Bessemer Bend. Besides | these features !t shows the Wind| River mountains extending along the north bank of the Platte river to a point east of where Casper now stands. Besides these two old maps, the Wyaming’ Map and Blue Print com- pany has a copy of the old military map of the government made in 1859 which was used by the army in all its early pioneer operations here and this map shows all the old time trials and routes across the plains. This military map takes in Wyo- ming and parts of Montana, Colo- rado, Idaho and two Dakctds and Nebraska, the Black Hills are mark- ed ‘unexplored’ on it.

Brennan, jus- tice of the peace. “Don't give ‘til it hurts—because it doesn't hurt to give. “I think the Community Chest is the lfesaver for the poor and a godsend to the giver. Every man is born with charity in his heart. When the day is done do you step to think that you have been more than fortunate? Yes, no matter what has happened. Though the day hag brought disaster the angel of mercy is at hand and his lieuten- ants are summoned. They hasten to give relief and aid and the best part of it is that their wonderful work is done quietly and not tho least publicity is there for the un- fortunate. “Such ald comes from the Com- munity Chest fund. And by the way, this system eliminates forever false charity workers, professional beggers and the like. Charity, sweet charity. No, it doesn’t hurt to give in this case. Ladies, just one suggestion. When you want to buy that next pair of silk hose—don’t do it. In- stead, buy two pairs of warm cot- ton stockings and give one to the poor family down the street “JUDGE HENRY F. BR! es AN.” |Forum Meets Tuesday Noon Further perfection of the team or- ganization for the Community Chest drive in Casper will be made at the forum meeting of the Casper Cham ber of Commerce at the Henning hotel tomorrow noon.

A return to pre-war food habits in the use of wheat by the public and the fecding uf low grad- wheat to livestock, department exverts ns- rert, would help greatly toward solving the wheat problem. The wide disparity between the cost of bread to the consumer and the price received by the producer for the wheat from which it is made is cited by the department as an il!- lustration of the disproportionate relationship which exists between the price of farm products and the price of things that have gone; through a manufacturing process. “The price of bread in cities has not fallen with the price of wheat and flour,” says the statement. “A pound loaf of bread which in Min neapolis in 1913-1914 cost 5.3 cents! now costs ‘approximately nine cents, | while flour which in 1913-14 cost $4.43 a barrel, now costs $6.89. Al- lowing 280 loaves to the barrel, the | margin between the flour price and | the bread price has increased from $10.40 to $18.30. “It is obvious that such conditions however caused, work to the dis- advantage of both producers and consumers. Producers are injured by the restrictions which is caused in the demand and consumers are injured by high prices which en- force an uneconomic Hmitation in the use of an essential food. All interests in the country, including those of the bankers and millers, would be benefitted by the restora- tion of a moral normal ratio between the price of wheat when it leaves the farmer's hands, and its price to the final consumer.

They were both English and “Anglican. They were both revolutionary so far as the king and the church were con- cerned. But they differed in the modus operandi. ‘The puritan continued to be Eng- lish and Anglican in a mild or modi- fied form while the pilgrim despaired of effecting any change in either the state or the church and deliber- ately withdrew, denying the author- ity of the king and refusing to com- ply with the rules of the church. For this he truly suffered greatly, and because of this we have a United States of America established in democracy, lMberty and freedom. The pilgrims were the real revolu- tionarles of their day. They were considered dangerous subjects of the realm. They were severely punish- ed, imprisoned, martyred. And these revolutionaries were the founders of our republic. What an anomaly some. of us were treated to last summer in Portland, Oregon, when three Bostonians, Sons of the American Revolution made some grave predictions concerning the ac- tivities of our present day insur- gents. How easy to forget and con- form. The spirit of their fathers burned not in them. Let me quote a little extract from one of those pilgrim diaries, “We Bet the last spring some 20 acres Our corn did well, and God be praised we had a good increase of Indian corn.

Many of the Indians came among us, the great king, Massasoit with 90 men whom for three days we en- tertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer, and they bestowed them upon our gov- ernor, the captain and others. “And although it was not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want that w wish you partakers of our plenty.
