Reports to show that the agriclutural interests of the country ere lining up solidly against any reduction in the tariff on sugar such as is reported to have been recommended to the President by three incmebrs of the Tariff Commission. The American Farm Bureau Federation, state farm bureaus, the International Farm Congress, the American Dairy Federation, the Monutain States Beet Growers Association and similar organizations in other section have gone on record with formal resolutions or by letters and telegrams of protest addressed to the President in opposition to any lowering of the import duty on foreign grown sugar. There are several reasons why the farm organization are making an issue of this matter. They recognize the duty on sugar as one of the few tariff schedules that is of any protection to the farmer. Tariffs on commodities of which the country produces a surplus do not help him because the price is fixed in the export market. In the case of sugar, however, the United States imports more than half its total supply and consequently the import duty on the foreign product means that the American producer receives so much more for his output, inasmuch as payment for his crop is based on the market price of sugar. The Tariff Commissions investigation shows that the difference in the expense of producing sugar in the United States and Cuba is almost entirely in the agriclutural costs and that the American firmer receives for the raw material required to produce a pound of sugar a sum that exceeds the price received by the Cuban cane grower by more than the amount of the tariff, so that he gets the full benefit of the duty charged against the foreigner. Investigations of the cost of various manufactured articles have resulted in increases of tariff l ites and the agricultural organizations are interested in determining whether the same course or a different one is to be followed where the farmers interests are at stake. Another reason why the farm organizations ar keenly following the sugar case is because of the precedent set by the Tariff Commission in regard to sugar may work to the disadvantage of the farm interests in other cases that are now pending or may come before the Commission. At the present time there are three cases under investigation which directly affect te farmers of the country those relating to butter, casein and vegetable oils. In the sugar case it is alleged that the report on which the recommendation for a reduction in the duty is based on figures of costs prior to the time when the present tariff law was enacted and that it disregards comparative agricultural costs. Many authorities in and out of Congress contend that this course, if not illegal, is contrary to the intent of Congress in enactflexible provision of the tariff law. ing the Governor Pierce of Oregon has issued a proclamation suspending the open season for killing deer and other large game, beginning with August 20. Forest fires have been numerous and owing to prolonged drouth. The danger of more conflagrations from thousands of hunters penetrating the forests and setting fires from shooting and camping, is tremendous. Many of the deer are driven from their usual habitat and crowded itno small areas. The Governors action is fully justified by humanity. The killing of game is absolutely prohibited until there has been sufficient rain to avert all possible danger of forest fires. His splendid example will be followed by many other states that have suffered from drouth and forest fires. wide-sprea- ed non-produce- Entered at the Postoffice at Salina, Utah, as Second Class Mail Matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. 1.

Silver producers who have been in convention in Salt Lake are be to congratulated on their successful launching of the American Silver Producers Association. The purpose of the new organization is to promote the use of the silver, to find new and enlarged markets for it, to market informed as be better to that producers can selling of silver so conditions, thereby effecting economy and stabilizing the industry; and to foster by every legitimate means the advancement and welfare of silver mining. Since the dawn of civilization silver has been widely utilized for ornaments, for commercial iree in many varied forms, and as a medium of exchange. Among modern nations it has been used almost universally for subsidiary coinage, sharing with gold in popularity. For the secondary and minor coins silver has always been preferred. With the reestablishing of the nations after the world war, and the retiring of great quantities of the paper currency which the ,var brought into existence, the demand for silver will be enormously increased. A new era for the white metal undoubtedly is at hand. Silver mining is a vital industry of the West and all citizens hould be interested in its development and prosperity.

A statement from an Ohio paper says that an Ohio farmer has offered to turn over, rent free, to any responsible farmer any one of hree good farms which he owns providing the farmer will pay the :axes, assessments and insurance on the property, keep up the lecessary fences, make necessary repairs and maintain the soil One farm has 40 acres, another 50 acres and the third 150 icres. The good land now lies idle, produces no income, does not pay the taxes. The farmer needs from the government none of the quack remg edies which politicians suggest and advocate. What he needs, and what we all need, is just simplified, economical government, based solely in the principle of the greatest good to the greatest number. half-bake- d, The opinions of royalty dont cut I th fer-ilit- bobbed hair, but Pope Pius has offered a medal to the womens club that evovles the most attractive modest fashion in female garb, but it is our fear that this will prove merely another instance of leading a horse to water. INDUSTRY OR POLITICS, WHICH ? The western beet sugar industry has been struggling for exist-;nc- e for a quarter of a century. It has saved this nation from being it the complete mercy of foreign sugar producers. The sqgar tariff has constantly been a political issue and the aossibility of securing votes has in too many instances been the sole .eason for raising or lowering it. At the present time another fight is on to reduce the tariff on in the present rate. Aside from the it ugar by a cut of t' injury this would be to the beet sugar producers and the sugar beet l: ll farmer, it would mean a loss of about $25,000,000 annually in government revenue as the total sugar tariff is about $100,000,000 11 per annum. The money saved on the tariff to the detriment of the sugar n industry woud be taken away from the people through increased in hole assets. the the to make up for $25,000,000 treasury Not only would the people suffer this loss, but an injury to our domestic sugar industry would cause diiect financial loss to wage ;arners in sugar factories and farmers producing the beets. Let the tariff be considered from a business, rather than a political standpoint. one-four- d, "The J'Tost Ufi-To-D- Grocery Store inSalina y. 0 53 vote-seekin- 53- - A passage in the Napoleon letter recently acquired by the British Museum runs: I wish to live free.
