fc-rf .w- ix & •i 1 "M IS THIS FAIR TREATMENT TO NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS? There Is nothing In the provisions of this law which would arouse the antagonism or suspicions of the aver age farmer. But we wish our read era to note carefully that the details •re left with tbe secretary of the treasury. Here Is his ruling contain ed in the following letter J. W. Smith of Surrey Furnishes Some Interest ing Facts on the Subject of Grain Received in Bond. On page S7 of Ihe tariff act Aug. 2, 1909, on "Imports into tbe United States" we read as follows: "That all articles manufactured in whole or part of imported mate rials, cr of materials subject to In OKI or at on without baring an inteiw tern&l revenue tax, and intended for nal ifevenue stamp affixed thereto, shall, under *uch Iemulations as the secretary of the treasury may pre scribe, in order to be so manufac tured and estporte^, |bp madfe and manufactured in bonded warehouses similar to those known and designat ed in treasury regulations as bonded warehouses class Provided that the manufacturing of such articles shall first give satisfactory bonds for the faithful observance of ail the pro visions of law and of such regula tions as shall be prescribed by the secretary of the treasury." "Whenever goods manufactured in any bonded warehouse established under the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall vr exported directly therefrom or shall te duly laden for transportation and Immediate expor tation under the supervision of the proper officer who shall be duly des ignated for tnat rurpose, such goods shall be exempt from duty and from the requirements relating to revenue stamps." "That where imported materials upon which duties have been paid are used in the manufacture of articles manufactured or produced In the United States, there shall be allowed on the exportation of such articles a drawback equal in amount to the du ties paid on the materials used, leas one per centum of such duties. Treasury Department, Washington, Dec. •. l»lt. Mr. J. W. Smith, Surrey, N. D. Blr: In reply to your Inquiry of the 28th ult. as to how long imported wheat can be held In bond and wheth er bonded wheat must be milled be fore exportation, I have to advise you that such wbeat may remain In bond ed warehouse in the United States for a period of three years from the date of importation. The wheat may fee exported in the condition In which Imported, or it may be withdrawn from the bonded premises tor trans fer to a bonded manufacturing ware bouse to be made Into flour prior to exportation. No statistics are complied to show the quantity of bonded wheat now held in this country, and the depart ment is, therefore, unable to reply /jwraj* 1 1 of to your inquiry in that regard. Respectfully, T. M. HALSTEAR, 4 That the drawback on any article al lowed under existing law shall be con tlnued at the rate herein provided. That the Imported material* used in the manufacture or production of ar ticles entitled to drawback of cus toms duties when exported shall, In all cases where drawback of duties Svcry penwa nccda a btulaeM training.

It is quite evident to a fair mindeo person according to the present rul ing of the treasury department there is practically no tariff on wheat. If a miller can go to Canada and buy wheat at a time we have a short crop here and wait three years before he is obliged to export it It is quite evl that he can buy our wheat for export at his own price for In that length of time we will have a bis crop out of which he can make his exportation. If he (the Importer) was obliged to export Inside of sixty 'ays after tbe Importation was made no harm would be done the American farmer and great good might be done the American laboring man and the 'in? lndeetry. Under the pres ent ruling the small miller la not benefited at all—only the export mil ler. What reasonable excuse is there for handling whole wheat In bond? It makes business for the railroads, we know, tut they would have the pame amount of business from han dling this wheat If It was milled In this country. This government ha* reyeatedly declared its Intention of fostering agriculture. The business men In all the little towns dotting the grain-growlm* stales have time and again expressed a desire to gee the farmers prosper, and yet this condi tion of affairs has been allowed to exist for years. The average farmer doesnt taiow where he is getting v«rt. He bas learned however, that other Industries have been protected and that his business bas been ex ploited. and In tbe November elee- natural for him to do—tbe only thin? loft, for- him to dp.
