Feed Our Your Hogs Six Weeks EarIia

In every lot of hogs on feed two or
three weeks quickly and actually eat
less than others. If all would fatten
like these, the entire drove would be
ready for the market six weeks earlier
and to save six weeks feed is an item
that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily must be
in prime physical condition. The B. A.
Thomas Hog Powder is a conditioner
for hogs. 1t keeps their system clean
and healthy and enables them to fatten
quickly without falling prey to tn
usual diseases of hogs. The B. A
Thomas Hog Powder is not stock food.
It's straight medicine, and we took
the agency because it enables you to
feed our your hogs much earlier G. n.

New Law Would Keep

Towns With Second Place in Nc
Gone County Contest Will File
Test Action.

Wolf Point, Oct 27-Circle took
first place in the county seat election
race in McCone county, held Oct 81,
with Vida close second, There are
a few outlying precincts to be heard
from, but the lead of these two towns
is so much over the number of votes
given Weldon, taking third place, that
there is no question but what Vida
and Circle will be the towns to be
voted on for permanent county seat
Wet, disagreeable weather undoubt-
edly kept some from the polls, but a.
bout rs per cent of the registered
voters turned out in spite of this. Of
fetal returns are as follows: Circle.
665: Vida, 654; Weldon, 452; Sand
Creek, 24S; Brockway, 234.
According to a law passed at the
last session of the legislature only
towns that are plated and have SO
electors within the corporated limits
are eligible to become county seats.
1t is understood that Vida intends to
test the constitutionality of the law
by taking the matter into the courts.
Brockway and Circle are the only
towns in McCone county having the
required number of electors within

WORST BLIZZARD IN YEARS
VISITS EASTERN MONTANA

The worst blizzard, or snowstorm,
that has ever visited eastern Montana
in years, struck this section Thurs
day morning and at the time of going
to press there is no sign of let up
The storm is equal to any that has
visited this section in years, and es-
pecially considering that it is only the
Both. day of October. 1t is hard to
state just how much snow has fallen
but we believe it safe to state it is
nearly Is inches, and in places it is
piled up many feet high.
The weather the past week has been
extremely cold, the government weat-
her bureau at the Miller farm east of
town giving 16 below last Saturday
morning and several days at IL be-
low. Old-timers in this section say
this is by far the worst that has ever
been experienced here for October
weather
Reports from throughout the state
last week indicated that the cold spell
is quite general, with lots of snow
from western Montana to Minnesota.

AVOID TAX PENALTY


Taxpayers of McCone county should
not forget that all taxes are due and
payable not later than November
Goth. The law on this subject is
mandatory, and those delaying pay
ment until after that date will find
themselves assessed with the penalty.
County Treasurer c. A. Daily has
Just completed the mailing OF tax
statements for 1919. Owing to the
delay caused by the State board of
Equalization the tax rolls were about
thirty days late reaching the Treas
urier's office. The office will appre-
ciate the payment of taxes early in the
month of November to lessen the rush
of the last few days.

Long Delayed Railroad Building
Program in State to Start

Tribune the following interesting item
.ppeared:
Extension of Great Northern lines
n Montana is greatly desired by the
directors of the railway" Louis w.
Hill, chairman of the board of direct
)rs of the road said while visitign in
Great Falls Tuesday afternoon.
But such extension is possible on
ly through national legislation which
will enable the railroad to obtain the
necessary credit" he continued. This
legislation should, he believes, permit
an increase in rates sufficient to meet
the increase cost of operation and the
nigher wages now existing.
Railroads are losing money under
the government management and
would continue to do so under private
operation if present costs and tariffs
are maintained" Mr. Hill predicted.
And nobody is going to lend money
to a losing proposition" he concluded.

Government Ownership.

We ere publishing on the first
page of the paper this week state
mont by Hon. Robert S. Lovett. for
mer aid to Administrator McAdoo, in
opposition to government ownership
of railroads. Mr.. Lovett makes out
a strong case, and we are go Impress
ed with it and the fallacies of the
tide of socialism that is sweeping the
country that people ought to be in
terested enough to read 1T.
The report of the Administration
of American Railways for the period
ending Dec. 81, 1918, also should be
impelling enough to set people to
thinking. 1t should be recalled that
the first step made by Mr.. McAdoo
was to raise freight rates twenty-five
per cent and passenger rates more
than that, end with all that the
Government was charged with loss
in the management of the roads for
the period referred to of $150,00O,-
900.
There was q timc when Democrats
referred to socialism with sneer,
but they are beginning to take it
now with relish. Since the demon
stration of treechcry by German So
cialists in the war this paper pro-
poses to expose the red flag. The
red flag and socialism are synony-
nous and government ownership is
foundation of socialism. After that
comes the distribution of the profits
of industry and tLen the doctrine of
socialism is complete. There might
be such thing as practical social
ism, but not on earth. Human be-
ings arc gamblers by instinct, and il
the profits of every industry were
equally distributed few socialists
would get all the winnings across the
card table or in the marts of trade.
Certainly the people are as honest
as the government which is an or
ganization of the people. One can
not possibly command any mere con-
fidence and respect than the other,
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1919-01-10

and with private ownership, infin-
itely less expensive, which is the
better.
Suppose you saddle on the people
the expense of buying up all the pub
lie utilities, mines and other natural
sources of income and then establish
net work of organized bureaus,
with a world of government en-
ployees all over the country, which
will be required to handle all this
complex machinery. What a power
for evil. No such powerful monarch
has ever lived. Talk about the re-
call, if there should be need for such
a thing a people so weak and power
less would fear to exercise it.
Really people do not deserve the
protection of the government against
fakirs and humbugs, unless they
should take a little more personal in
terest in what Congress is doing and
demand honest government, honest
administration. InlS SOVeTumeHI
ownership, which means a tax, for
the $50. 900, 900 will be small mat
ter compared to what the railroads
will cost in the future If owned by
the government. Coextensive with
the expansion of trade, which is the
pet theory of the Administration,
must be lowering of the tariff wall.
Reciprocity and high tariff can
not go together. There is no other
solution. And you will have to pay
for the losses of the railroads and of
all other public utilities owned by
the government. In other words you
will then be paying for this social
ism.
Mr.. Lovctt is right, and we will all
see it some day If this socialism runs
rampant. Then it will be too late
for anything but bloody revolution.
