CHANGE THE PRIMARY.

1t is the opinion Of this paper that
one of the greatest tasks facing the
present session of the legislature is
the revision Of the present primary
law. The present law only serves to
defeat the very purpose for which it
was originally drafted and is e:xpeA-
sive beyond all reason. In the cleo
tons just passed the whim and ego
tism Of one or two "use-to-was" pol
iticians cost the state Of Montana
thousands and thousands of dollars
with absolutely no good accomplished.
Commenting on the proposed changes
in u election laws the Great Falls
Tribune has the following:
"Since the alleged reformers got tc
making our election laws for us the
cost has grown enormously. If there
is anything that a reformer despises il
is cost levied on the taxpayers. HI
throws away old and add:
new tax burdens with a royal con
tempt for the cost. Generally speak
ing he thinks he pays no taxes any
way, or very little. He is probabl.
mistaken about that because h
thinks taxes are always paid by tn
property owners, and not shifted t.
the consumer of products. But tn
legislature will do a good thing for tn
state if they cut down taxes by elm

MERCHANTS STUDY ARM1NG

Retail merchants by getting in close
touch with the farmer and studying
his problems can help themselves as
we'll as the farmer. This belief was
acted on by the Wisconsin Retail Lum-
Der Dealers Association in a recent
conference with Wisconsin ag%ricultur-
al~-extension workers., as a feature of
which members of the association
heard talks and saw demonstrations of
better farming methods. The decis-
ion Of the association to give informed
service as well as to sell lumber to
farmers is said to have been the first
united step ever taken in the direc-
ton of bringing retailers and farmers
together.

A REAL MENACE.

It is both nearsighted and danger
GUS for this country to attempt to ig-
more the acute dangers of the Boil
shevik program as it is being promot-
ed and carried out in America today.
A number of the agents of Lenine
and Trotzky are reported to have
landed in New York recently with a
fund of half a million dollars in gold
with which to begin a nationwide
propaganda campaign and we have the
word of another leader of the clan in
Europe that the millions spent to ad-
vance the doctrine in Germany will be
but a very slight sum compared to
the tens Of millions which will be
used for the same purpose in the
United States.
In New York city today there are
said to be five hundred thousand &C
tive adherents to the Bolsheviki cult.
A vast majority of these people are
of foreign birth and their number is
being daily augmented by the arriv-
al of anarchists of very violent type
from Old World countries. The first
thing our authorities should do is to
set the whole machinery Of u adj
mirable secret service at work on the
task of branding these people as rap
idly as they arrive and to seeing that
they are sent back from whence they
come by the next boat. We have strin-
gent laws against permitting people
afflicted with bubonic plague and
other deadly disease from landing on
our shores. Certainly all Of the dead
Hest ailments which afflict the bod
les Of our people are not so deadly as
a political doctrine which strikes at
the foundation of our system of gov
eminent by proposing to substitute the
doctrines of unleashed, wild-eyed an
archy for the tried and tested insti-
buttons handed down to US by the IA
theirs of the republic.
This paper recently received sever
al pamphlets which evidently came
from the Bolsheviki propaganda head
quarters and it is the most dangerous
stuff ever sent through the mails of
this country. All of the real hideous-
ness Of the fatal doctrine is concealed
in such a manner as to offer a plaus-
ible appeal to the thoughtless and
disconnected. Every community in
this land would be infinitely safer to
harbor within it's borders a half doz-
en- red-handed murderers than an
equal number Of cunning agents of
the Bolsheviki cult. Every person in
America who loves this country and
values the advantages Of the most
beneficent government ever organized
for the advancement and happiness Of
a large group of people should be con-
stantly on guard against the insidious
workings Of this latest menace to civ
ilization and Christianity, since in
these turbulent days, as we'll as dur
ing the critical hour of our fight for
freedom, eternal vigilance is the
price Of liberty."-Lewistown Demo-
crat.

CONDUCT CONSTRUCTION
INDUSTRY RESEARCH

Washington, D. c., Jan. ia new
division has been created in the de-
partment of labor for the purpose of
interesting the nation in public works
and private construction, Secretary
Wilson that the new service
will gather and distribute information
that will enable private initiative to
make the transition from a war to a
peace basis without serious Interrupt
ton, due to lack of data on which bus
mess judgment must depend.
A survey of business conditions will
be made with a view to learning how
labor and capital may be profitably
employed during the critical period
when factories are being made over
for peace production and markets are
being canvassed for future outputs.
The division which will carry on this
work is now being organized by F. T,
Miller, the publisher of construction
periodicals, as a section of the depart
ment's information and education SER
vice, Of which Roger w. Babson is
chief. The new organization is called
the division of public works and con-
struction development, and occupies
the building at 16 Jackson Place.
The particular objective of the bu-
reau's research will be to secure data
for the use of the construction indus
try, but the material to be collected
will be SO varied that the information
will be of value to industry general
ly. The facts made available will be
of help to any community or investor
in determining whether it is advisable
to undertake public or private build.
ing at present. When circumstances
~unfavorable to construction are dis.
covered an attempt may be made to
correct them, but there will be nc
stimulation of economically unsound
enterprise. The findings of the bureau
will be given the widest publicity.
The pivotal nature of this building

mating unnecessary costs of govern
ment. In the, last analysis they will
also benefit the nan who never visit
ed the office Of the county treasurer
to get a tax receipt as we'll as the
man who groans as he notes the stead
lily mounting total expressed on his
tax receipt.
"Gentlemen Of the legislature, just
go over our election laws, both pri-
mary and general, with a newly sharp
ened knife, and see how much trim
mings and frills that cost money can
be cut away without any detriment to
the usefulness of those laws, and it is
our confident belief that the result
will surprise you"

an increased appropriation which will
enable it, in cooperation with the re-
spective states, to engage in a nation
wide project of bodybuilding that will
absorb, if need be, some of these
workers temporarily, until industry
resumes its natural course.
During the period of the war, by
virtue of the shortage of workmen,
there has been little or no municipal
activity in building operations, in park
extensions, in sewage extension, water
works, or any other of the public util-
tiles. They have been delayed and
postponed because of the shortage of
man-power and because of the inabil-
ity to finance. We are suggesting,
through the department of labor, to
the various municipalities throughout
the country, the advisability of their
resuming these activities at as early
a date as possible.
whenever it is possible to utilize
public means, wherever it is possible
to undertake public work, or things
that are valuable for peace-time pur-
poses, it should be undertaken as
promptly as possible. 1t may not be
needed, but it ought to be provided
so that it a be utilized if it is need
ed.
PERSONALLY, l am opposed to the
creation of work solely for the purpose
of giving employment to somebody. l
look upon that as being so much
waste; wasted intelligence, wasted en-
ergy, and waste of material. But the
same argument can not be made
against employing labor for useful
purposes, and this should always be
borne in mind, that, if you have mil
lions Of men out of employment and
by virtue of their being out of en-
ployment, unable to supply food and
clothing and shelter for their families,
they are going to insist upon the op-
portunity of earning a livelihood.
II am not one of those who take the
ground that a country or a govern
ment owes every mar a living. But all
governments, all organized society is
man-created, and consequently, more
or less artificial because of the re-
strictions that must of necessity be
imposed for the purpose of enabling
US to live in harmony with each other.
And because of those restrictions, men
have not always the opportunity of
working for themselves, and I am n
Of those who believe that all good gov
ernments will see to it that every man
has the opportunity to carr a living.
In other words, the government does
not W him a living, but it owes him
the opportunity to earn a living.

PUBLIC OWNER SHIP.

Experience in Australia, Germany
France, England and A merica has
proven that public owner ship kills al
incentive to Improvement t. What is
everybody's business is nobody's bust
ness. For example, in Australia
where the telephone is publicly owned
they use the obsolete magnetic sys.
tenn of switching that was discarded
in this country over twenty years ago
Publicly owned owned enterprises are
run by the politicians for the politi-
clans, and politicians are VIGOROUSLY
incompetent managers.

TRYING 1t AGAIN.

The California state health insur-
ance commission tried to establish a
paternalistic health insurance
in that state for special classes. The
people voted it down 3 to /.
The promoters of the scheme are
now trying it in other states and will
attempt to put a similar measure
through the Oregon legislature. Well,
why not pass all the socialistic meas
ures proposed and then everybody get
a state job, be fed by the state and
dotored by the state whether thew
needed it or not.
Fine, but who in heck would be left
to pay the taxes. A few common peo-
( lie ard industries must be reserved
for that privilege.
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1919-01-17

industry is economic reconstruction
and the general purpose Of the work
OF this division are expires sed in Sec
rotary Wilson's statement:
Building construction will help to
provide employment for re urning SOL
diers and for workmen dismissed from
war industries. One of the largest
sources of prospective employment is
building trade and it's allied factory
industries.
I'm the last of private construction,
a resumption of activity W ill also les
sen the congestion of pop ulation, i'm
prove conditions affecting the public
health and convert inactive property
into active property-which supplies
the means that enable communities to
support the functions of governments.
During the var the nation prac-
tically concentrated all it's efforts on
the production of goods for immed-
late consumption-war materials, food
and clothing. The failure to produce
the normal quota of goods for future
consumption has made these scarce
and high priced, and as they are es-
sential to further production they af-
feet the cost of production and, con
s%equently, the cost of living. Chief
among such goods are building and
other real estate improvements, in
Guiding public works, as bridges, roads
etc. The scarcity of buildings, for ex-
ample, creates high rents"
The inquiry will be under the direc-
ton Of business men of wide exper-
fence who are serving without paw.
The actual investigation will be con-
Quoted by a group of economists and
special agents supplied by the depart
ment of labor and other government
departments or lent by universities.
The field will include the cost and sup
ply of capital, the amount of construc-
ton held up by the war and the de-
mand in all parts of the country.
Under the supervision of the eco
Monies section, five other sections
will prepare information for publica-
ton by means Of the press, public
speakers, posters and the medium of
organized labor.

LAS LEGISLATION.

Tax everybody to give special bene'
fits to particular classes, seems to be
| the political fad of the hour.
Make everybody pay higher freight
to double the wages of the railroad
bro%therhoods.
Tax everybody to pay the telephone
or telegraph bill Of someone else SO
politicians can make rates and play
politics.
Tax everybody for state-owned
mills, elevators, stockyards and pack.
ing plants to enrich the farmers.
Anything you don't like have the
government take it over, ESQ long as
it isn't your businesD and furnish
lower prices as best suits the case and
let the customer or the tax payer pay
the bill.
That is the cry of the socialist ele-
ment and the N~onpartisan league from
North Dakota to California.
Cannot fair minded and u~ncorrupted
Americans unmask these policies of
paternalism?
Where will this system end?
Shall the American republic go
down under class legislation or will
it stand for fair play and justice and
a square deal for all ?-Carter (Mont)
Herald.

SECRETARY OF LABOR
SPEAKS ON CONDITIONS

II am of the opinion that from the
time we restore ourselves to our mar
mai postwar activities, the demand
for peace-time production will he so
great that there will not be the remot-
est possibility Of securing any reduc-
ton in the wage rates from their pres
ent basis. I feel further, that the
manufacturer who fails to take into
consideration the prospects of the flu
ture and who, in a hope of securing
a cheaper labor or cheaper raw ma
%terial, does not build up his %organiza-
ton and maintain it during the pos
sibly brief period of readjustment, will
be handicapped in securing his share
of the business afterwards; because
he will be handicapped through lack
Of working forces in his factory.
at therefore seems to me that the
situation resolves itself into taking
care of the possible problem in the in
term between our ceasing war activ-
tiles and the time when we have as
sumed u natural postwar activities.
with the attitude Of mind that l
have expressed as existing on the part
of some manufacturers relative to
waiting for a lowering in the price OF
raw material and the price of labor,
it may be that the restoration of in
dustry will not take place as rapidly
as the rehabilitation takes place. We
are not sure of that. There ought to
be provision made for a reservoir that
would absorb the demobilized workers
and the %demobilized soldiers, not in
doing the things which there is no
need to have done, but in doing the
things that ought to be done-that
are valuable for peace-time purposes
a reservoir that will take care of them
for the brief period between their dis
missal from the army and the dismis.
sal from the war indus tries until they
can be reabsorbed in to the natural
postwar industrial activities.
"The department of agriculture is
taking steps to accomplish part of that
purpose in the matter Of road improve
ment, highway improvement, on the
theory congress has acted on in the
past, that for military purposes and
for postal routes, roads are necessary

} employed in bodybuilding, they do not
have to be taken from their own home
