After finishing his law course, Judge Scott moved to Missouri in 1826, setting up a practice in old Franklin, Howard county. Though Judge Scott was exceptionally well read in the law, he was sometimes defeated by a quirk of his own temperament. Tho least annoyance would "vex him exceedingly and often throw him off his guard.

In fact, if the price should stabilize at $1 per bushel on the Chicago market, farmers will actually receive probably less than $600,000,000 for the total crop, because the price the farmer actually receives is sometimes 15 or 20 cents per bushel less than the Chicago price.

Shortly after Judge Scott's ap-poiiitinriit to the Supreme bench he moved to a farm in Cole county, 4 miles west of Jefferson City, where he died May 18, 1862. Exemplary of Judge Scott's minute knowledge of the law is the fact that not only his decisions on intricate questions of real estate law and grave questions of constitutional construction have stood as guides to the lejrnl profession for 75 years, but even some of his dissenting opinion-? have since been upheld nnd ndopted.

If the tariff were fully effective, the price of wheat at Chicago should be 42 cents per bushel above the price at Winncpcg, Canada. But the Chicago prices are below those at Winnepeg. On the day that May wheat dropped to 96V4 cents per bushel at Chicago, the Winnepeg price was 10'2 cents above tho Chicago price, while July wheat was 9Va ecnts higher at Winnepeg than at Chicago. To put it another way, if American fanners marketed the prospective 625,000,000 bushel winter wheat crop through Winnipeg at Winnepeg prices, they would recei've about $60,000,000 more for their crop than they receive at Tho following officers were elected tally, the same could not be said of his physical person.

This proves that the Republican administration, in spite of all pledges made during the campaign last year and despite the promise of early farm relief made by President Hoover when he called tho extra session of Congress to deal with the problem, has done absolutely nothing to make the tariff effective on farm products. In the United States there is a duty of 42 cents per bushel on wheat, but Canada has no wheat tariff, yet the Canadian farmers are getting ten cents more per bushel for their crop than American farmers.
