Sullivan.]\nThe claim that tbe Canadisn tar ff\nshould be raised to tbe level of that\nof tbe United States is based primarily on the economic,fallacy that\na tax on imports necessarily restricts\nimportations, and tbt.reby protect\nt e markets. In the second plnce,\ntbis claim ia baaed od the delusion\ntbat it is in the interests of tbis\ncountry to threaten the prosperity\nof its basic industries in order to\nfoster those of a contrary character;\nbecause we hnve adopted this policy.\nCanada's prosperity depends\nlargely od its basic indus ries,and it\nis essentially ao exporting country,\nand to impose a high tariff whicb\nbears heavily od those industries\nwould be suicidal. A high tariff as\nao economic or moral pitociple can\nnot be defended, for it is eitber a\nform of legalized extortion or a\nfarce.\nA tax oo imports i* cilled a tariff,\nduty, etc., and the effect of this tax\nie determined by the character of the\narticles upon whicb it is placed\nThis tux wheo levied upon articles\nimported for re-sale establishes a\nprice level, which is at least equal\nto their declared value (competitive\nprice) witb the tax added, The price\nlevel tbus established for imported\narticles, determines tbe prices of\nhome products ot like quality, in\noases wherein competition io prices\nmay be eliminated, and wben p.o.\nductioo for export purposes is oot\nan essential factor; such as those of\nthe secondary iodustriee\u2014finished\nproducts. With tbe unfinished products of the forests, fisheries, metals\nliferous mine*, and to a great extent, farms, a tax od such imports\nwould oot increase tbe price of tbe\nhome products, for in maoy oases\nselling prioes are regulated by the\nexport prices, aod wheo competition\noao Dot be eliminated, supply and\ndsmand govern prices. \\ tax od\nimports (tariff) does not of itself\nrestrict importations nor protect tbe\nmarkets, ae i* preached, fir a protective tariff is a myth. It is simply a price increasing factor, aod if\neffective mav ha collected froq* tbe\nusers of tbe class of articles upon\nwbicb it is placed, and when it can\nnot b* thus collected,it ie a farce,and\nusually a political sop.\nProtection of tbe home market is\naffected, wheo the prices of the\nbome products are maintained at a\nlower level than those of the imported artiscles, It is this economic\nprinciple tbal restrictsimportations,\naod not a tax on imports (tariff),\nfor it may be made effective wbetb.\ner-imports are taxed or not. When\ntbe prices of the horae products are\nkept at the eame level as those of\nsimilar imported articles the taxing\nof imports (tariff) is simply a bonus\niog system, wbereio tbe rigbt to\ncollect this tax is exercised by pri\nvate persons; and tbe import duty\nwhich   in sua'*   cas-s is invariably\n<J.Tta KETTLE VALLEy ORCHARDISTS     -~~~~\nTWENTY-FIFTH YEAR\u2014No. 34\n\"Tell me what yoa Kdow is tru\u00bb-\nI can ftuess as wnll aa you.\"C\nFRIDAY, JUNK 25, 1926\npaid by tbe coosumers, presents do\nobstacle to importations. And wheo\ntbe duty is increased and prices are\nincreased proportionately, imparta-\ntions are not thereby restricted.\nA high tariff, if effective, sets up\nan industrial oligarchy, which can\nmaintain itself because of its power\nto strangle the economic life of a\ncountry and tbus compel submission\nto its dictates. It is a high tax of a\nsubtle character, whicb is imposed\non consumers, whereby they are\ncompelled to contribute to the support of industries in wbicb they\nmay bave no pecuniary interest. A\ntariff, whether levied on imported\nwheat or shoes, ie simply a ax,\nwhich may be included in the prices\nof the finished products, and this\nfact would become apparent by tbe\ndrop io prices to the full extent of\ntbe tariff rate ia case it were suspended. It is sectional in application and only in a limited sense is it\nrevenue producing.\nAo fndustry which can not prosper without a higb tariff does oot\nbelong bere, and it is io tbe national interests that the products be\nimported; for it acts as a parasite on\n-the basic industries, upon whiob\ntbe economic life of the couutry depends.\nThe way to meet foreign compe\ntition is hy reducing the cost of\nproduotioo, and tbe products of the\nmeealiferous, forests, fisheries, and\nto a great extent farms, which meet\nworld competition in prices, and\nwithout tariff protection or subs\nsidies, furnish examples how this\nmay be done. For a higb duty on\nimported wheat, tbe forest products,\nmetals, flsb, live stock, etc.. would\noot increase prices of the bome pro*\nduots.\nA taxpayer, in actual fact, is one\nwho is unable to cooirol tbe prices\nof tbe things he exchanges, whether\nproducts, rates or services. Tbe\nmining op*rator, forest products\nproducer, farmer, fisherman, siock\nraiser, aDd those who are dependent\nupon the industries they represent,\nare taxpayers of both direct and indirect taxes, because tbey can not\ncontrol the prices of tbeir products\nor services. Tbey are compelled io\npay tbe full tariff rates tbat are reflected in tbe tax-increased prices,\nand which result in increased living\nand production costs, and without\ncompensating returns in increased\nincomes or earoiDg power. From\nthis it cau be seen that a high tariff,\nif effective, is a blow directed at\nCanada's prosperity, whioh ie largely\ntbat of lbe basic industries.\nCanada should Dot permit herself\nlo be hypnotized into copying\nAmerican tariF I gislatioc, but\nsbould deal witb ber tariff problems\nas ber interests dictate.\nCanadian Fruit\nDistributors, Ltd.\nOa March 31 our brokerage company co npleted its firat fiscal year.\nTbe results of this first year's operations form very convincing evidsnee\nof tbe value to the Associr-ted of tbe\nmore direct contact with tbe trade\nwe bave obtained tbrough tbe establishment of our own ollices at tbe\nchief distributing points. In pre.\nvious years it wae fouod necessary\nby tbe Associated to maintain a\nnumber of men on the prairie during tbe shipping reason at considerable cost. This cost was in addition\nto the commission we were paying\nto tbe brokerage concerns wbo were\nacting as our agents.\nThe Canadian Fruit Distributors\noperated on Canadiau accounts only,\nso tbat its earnings were much lees\nthan tbey would have been bad they\nhandled a full line of accounts, but\nin spite of tbat handicap the showing for the year is a very satisfac*\ntoiy one.\nTbe charges paid were the same\nas io previous year, 330 per car for\napples and (20 for vegetables, aod\nat the end of tbe year a rebate was\npaid to the Aisaciated of (10,000,\nwhicb reduces tbe amount charged\ninto tbe pool operatiog account for\nbrokerage. Tbio still leaves tho Cans\nadian Fruit Distributors wilb a\nprofit of Si,477\/77 to be carried for-\nwaid. These sums do oot represent\nall the direct benefits received, as a\ncb-rg of $4000 wss mado hy the\nAssociated to the Caradian Fruit\nDistributors to cover supervision.\nHad the Canadiin Fruit Di-trihu-\ntors not beeu ia exigence it would\noot have been postible to reduce\nAssociated salaries by this amount,\nso tbat the total profits earned by\nthe Canadian Fruit Distributors\nmight be taken as being 115,477 77.\nAll costs of organizition and incorporation were charged against the\nfirst year's business, tbese amounting in all to 12,365.07.\nThere are also other benefits de\nrived from our prairie offices that\nare sufficiint to justify the existence\nof the offices even if no tebates were\nreturned at the end of the year. The\ndaily contact with the trade ie of\ngreat assistance in keeping our\nbrand always to tbe forefront, aDd\nmuch business tbus comes our way\ntbat might otherwise go to our competitors.\nAllowances, from all causes,\namount to a large sum io a season.\nIf we have no representatives on the\nspot, we are often forced to accept\nio full the claims made by buyers\nwhicb upoo examination are sometimes found to be somewhat exaggerated. With our owo men at the\nvarious centers, are able to examine\nnearly all of tbe claims and keep\nallowances down to a] minimum\nconsistent witb fair dealing. During\nlhe 1925 season fruit fell down to\nfully aB great an extent as in the\nprevious year, but tbe total allowances only amounted to $45,234.61\nas  compared   with  #76,761.88   iu\n1924. About one third of the claims\nallowed were for faulty fruit, the rei\nmaroder being du* tp other causes.\nWe can certainly give to tbe Canadian Fruit Distributors the credit\nfor a large part of this reduction,\nwhich was obtained without sacrificing the good will of the trade.\nOn May 3 the Canadi-.n Fruit Die-\ntributors took po*sef~ion of tbe\nGrowers' Siles Agency, Limiterl,\nwhich was one of the two large\njobber owned brokerages on tbe\nprairies, with ollices at Calgary, Ita\ngina and Winnipeg.- The prioe paid\nwas purely a nominal one, us all of\nthe shares outstanding were bought\nfor $200. The Growers' Sales Agency\nLimited bad the handling for western Canada .t possibly the finest\nline of American accounts, and mott\nof these will in future be handled\nby the Candian Fruit Distributors,\nthus adding greatly to tbe possible\nearnings aud placing tbe Canadian\nFruii Distributors in a position\nwbere it can render better service to\nthe trade than before.\nTo make tbe services of our\nbrokerage honse more attractive to\nthe trade, a new policy of profit di*.\ntribution has been adopted. To\nstart witb, tbe brokerage rates bave\nbeen reduced (apples reduced from\n$30 per car to $25 per car), but even\nwitb the reduced rates on domestic\nbusiness, the large volume of foreign\nbusiness should produce a larger\nBurpius than was shown last year.\nAt the end ol the yoar the surplus\nwill be divided 75 per cent aod  26\n\u25a0  (Ctyttclixtled on Page 4-)\nBITTER AGAINST O.B.TJ.\nMayor H.

But there are other citizens who do\nnot agree with this view. There are taxpryers\nin the city who have been unable to secure the\ncity water service. Their taxes assisted in installing the gravity system, aud to supply\nwater now to cousumers below pumping cost\nwould be a discrimiuation against these taxpayers. If the city makes a larger profit m,w\non its water rates than heretofore, all the citizens should share in the benefiis of that profit\nby securing a lower property tax levy or by\nhaving tho money applied to reducing the indebtedness of the city.\nDays when great herds of buffalo halted\ntrains crossing the western plains found an\necho when a herd of 500 deer held up a train\nnear Hot Sulphur Springs, Col.

With it came the story of history repeated after\nsix thousand yeare and a reprieve for sundiw passengers\nwho had been threatened with irons, trial in the admiralty courte and what not.\nTbe apple came to Montreal with Robert J. Casey\nwho was a passenger aboard the \"Melita.\" Mr. Casey is a\nwell-known member of the staff of the Chicago News and\namong the books of his authorship are \"The Land of\nHaunted Castles\" and \"The Lost Kingdom of Bur-\nSaudy.\" He was on the way home from a trip through\nvria to Damascus and Bagdad taken for the purpose\nof gathering material for another book.\nMr. Casey said that the apple was one of a pair\nbrought from Quernahthetraditional site ofthe Garden of\nParadise at the junction of the Tigris and Eupbrt*.'.**\nrivers in Mesopotamia. It was placed in a stateroom\nwith Babylonian bricks and other relics from the -mole\nof the human race and did not figure in the log of the\n\"Melita\" until the ship had been four days out of Cherbourg.  Then it disappeared.\nThe owner complained to Commander Clew*.\n\"I regret this unfortunate incident,\" said the Captain,\n\"But of course you must have read the notice on the card\nriven you as you came aboard: The company will not\nBe responsible for apples and other valuable\u00bb u-Ucss they\nare deposited with tho purser. As it stands at present\nthis looks like a matter for the appellate court.

Adamson admitted that\nhe was the tenant of a cabin on the-same deck as that\noccupied by the apple and he was summoned for an interview with the captain. He was a technical prisoner when\nthe \"Melita\" reached Belle Isle and might have been\nlanded In Bhackles at Quebec had it not been for an un\nexpected denouement. A room steward, penitent but\nbrave appeared before the officers substituting for angels\nwith flaming swords.\n\"If it's an apple you're looking for I think I can find it\nfor you,\" he volunteered. \"It looked like just an ordinary\napple and what with the way the women passengers are\nalways wanting things there was no way of telling about\nit \u2014 you know how it is. I had brought a dish of fruit\ninto tnat cabin the morning all the fuss started and when\nI was taking out the dishes some time afterward it was\nonly natural-like that I Bhould have made a mistake.\nI picked up that apple \"\n\"And so it's lost, gasped the investigators.\n\"That's where you're wrong,\" declared the steward\ntriumphantly, \"It's found. As soon as I heard of the\nhowl I traced that apple. I followed its trail back to the\npantry and thence to the cold storage room. And this\nmorning I discovered it. One of the chefs had been in just\nbefore me. But I was determined. I went right out after\nhim And I found the apple It's in here.:...\"\nAnd with a magnificent air he lifted a napkin from a\nlarge pan of apple sauce.\nAnother apple, later found concealed in a locked\ntrunk, will be presented to the Field Museum of Chicago.\nThe tree from which the fruit was picked has recently\nbeen designated as the \"Tree of Knowledge\" by the\nBritish Government substantiating' an Arab legend of\nlong standing.

Rogers, climbing the tree to have his\npicture taken, broke off one of the branche- and was\narrested by the Arab police.\n' The verdict finds him \"guilty of having broken a limb\nfrom the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden\" and\nfixes his fine at \"one month's pay,\" a lighter sentence\nthan that visited upon his remote ancestor for a simila*\noffence.\nRemarkable expansion of the\n] cream export industry of the province of Quebec is disclosed by fig-\n| ures of the Dominion Express Company furnished recently.

Mo. 1 shows the tanks lo whioh\n1st prooess.     The text below explains lhe other photomphs foil?,\nM-tteie* arel\nIMe.lt\nPassengers on the Trans-Canada ana other Canadian trains have often\nadmired the tableware with which the dining cars are equipped, but\ncomparatively few of the travelling public appreciate the extent to which\nelectroplating enters into every day use on a Railway. As a matter of\nfaot, practically all metal hardware puts of passenger equipment interiors are plated, many of the engine parts, including the copper reflector of the head-light aro plated, and various platings are use*' on a\nthousand and one articles which enter daily into the life of a railroader.\nThe traveller notices the silver plate perhaps more than any other,\nbut many metals are used by the railroad companies. Cold, for instance, ls used by the Canadian Pacific for plating pepper caster tops\nand similar articles, copper is used on lighting and other metal car fixtures, zinc on refrigerator hardware, nickel on kitchen utensils, tin on\ntrainmen's lanterns, mercury on telegraph elements and aluminum or\nlead on miscellaneous articles.\nAt its Angus Shops, Montreal, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company\nhas quite an extensive plant where tho most of its electro-plating is carried on. The method used by this Company is a simple one but none the\nless effective.\nThe articles to be plated are first chemically cleaned, after which\nthey are usually hung from a metal bar into a long vat where they are\nImmersed ln a chemical solution which varies with the metal to be deposited. The electric current, which Is of low voltage, is connected, the\npositive pole to the metal plate or plates, and the negative to thc bar\ni tba articles to is plated are BusBemisU.  As the electric cur\nrent flows from the plaiting metal to the suspended artlolea; the metal Is\ncarried through the solution and deposited ln tho form of a thin coating\nover the entire surface of the required article.\nThis process ls well Illustrated in Na 2, which shows two electrio\nheadlight reflectors in the process of receiving silver plating. In this\ncase the plate of silver Ib suspended in the centre of the reflector, which\nis filled Vith cyanide of potassium solution, and the electric current flows\nfrom the plate to the reflector which is, itself, the negative pole.\nIllustration No. 3 shows the next step ln tiie treatment of the headlight reflector, which, by the way, gives the highest concentration of light\nknown. This Ib hand burnishing, the operator burnishing two reflectors\nin a working day. For articles which can he readily polished by a\nrotating buffing wheel, this ls accomplished ln the manner shown ln No. 4.\nUpon completion of the polishing operation, articles to be so treated are\nplaced in a metal container and, by means of a small compressed air gun,\nsprayed with suitable lacquer. If it is desired to oxidise the plated\narticle ip order to make lt harmonize with woodwork or other material,\nas is often tho case with copper platings, it is exposed to heat or vapor,\nor immersed ln some solution prior to the application Of the finishing\ncoat of lacquer.\nThe Canadian Pacific Railway Company was the first large corporation in Canada to instal Its own electro-plating plant, but during the last\nfew years this method of protecting metal from'oxidation has developed\ninto quite an. industry and ono wbioh employs a Urge number at CunmHan\nworkmen. -*\nDO YOU WANT\nTHE PEOPLE\nTO READ YOUR\nADVERTISEMENT\nPeople take The' Sun\nbecausej||| they   believe\nit is worth the price we\ncharge    for   it.

Hundreds of cuses have demonstrated in a most striking manner\nthat the weeding out of non-produc-\ntlvo milk cows and better caro for\nthe producing members of the milk\nherd pay big dividends.\nThis point was strongly stressed in\nan exhibit at tho International Dairy-\nExposition held at Indianapolis last\nOctober. An actual instance was\ngiven which disclosed the following\nfacta.\nA milk producer had a herd of six\nmilk cows producing 27,000 pounds\nof milk annually. He joined a cow\ntesting association. The flrst step\ntaken was to woed out tho non-productive cows, that is, those cows\nyielding insufficient milk to net a\nprofitable income over and above\nfeed cost,    t\nThe weeding out process left only\nfour cows in the milk herd. But\nthese remaining cows wcro fed according to their individual requirements. No sanitary or beneficial\nfeeding measure was neglected. During stabling months, they were given\nplenty of clean bedding; stables were\nkept clean; thc long hair on flanks\nand udders wore kept clipped.   Thc\ncows were brushed or wiped with a\ndamp cloth before each milking.\nUtonslls were sterilized. The stable\nwas well ventilated and plenty of\nclean, pure water was given the cows.\nA year from the time the member\njoined tho association, his records\nshowed an increase ln milk to more\nthan 28,000 pounds from the four\ncows as compared to 27,000 pounds\nfrom six cows prior to this period.\nThere was more than a corresponding increase ln butterfat.\nThe cow testing association consists of about twenty-six farmers\nwho co-operate and employ a trained\ntester to test their cows for economical production of milk and butterfat.\nThe tester spends one day a month\non each farm and obtains a complete\nrecord of each cow's milk and butterfat production, feed consumed,\nfeed cost, growth, and Income, and\nincome over feed. w\nThe first cow testing association In\ntho United States was that organized\nat Newaygo County, Michigan, ln\n1905. Since then, there has been a\nfairly constant growth until 1925\nshows a tally of 732 cow testing as-\nsoclatlons with excellent prospects of\ntho number doubling within the next\nthree years.\nNorman E, Wilkinson, London,\nEngland, inventor of camouflage\npaintings which was used extensively during the late war, arrived in\nCanada on the Canadian Pacific\nliner \"Montcalm\" with his wife recently, for a tour of the Dominion.\nSir Clifford Sifton, prominent To-\nrontonian, and Sir Stepford Prun-\nton, M.I.M.E., famous mineral geologist, also arrived on the same\nvessel.\nCel.

He also wishes to\nknow about the possibility of combined federal and provincial action\nfor these surveys. ^\nOn his return from a recent tour of\ninspection of the Company's Western\nLines, Grant Hall, Vice-President of\nthe Canadian Pacific Railway, stated\nthat exports to the Orient in the\nform of grain, flour, dressed meats\nand motor cars were steadily increasing in volume and that trade with\nAustralia had been considerably\nstimulated by the trade arrangements with that Dominion.
