The Haskir1 Letter
BIZ FREDERIC /.
HASkiN
DON'T HAVE FIRES.

trial Accident commission is notified,
and it sends its inspector, who has
police power. In San Francisco the
owners of apartment houses must Sc
cure permits every year in order to
rent their apartments, and in the case
of the infringement of fire regulations,
these permits are held up until the nee
essary precautions have been taken. In
the same way, the department can order
electrical companies to cease supplying
electric power to any plants not com
plying with the fire laws.
Ninety per cent of the fires which
kill thousands of peoples and desire,
millions of dollars worth of property III
this country every year are due to eare-
lessness according to Chief Martin j..
Kearns of the San Francisco Hire IRE
vention bureau. The most frequent
causes of fires, as shown by fire de-
partment records, are rubbish and ref
use and smokers carelessness. Thus,
the residents of every city as well as
those Of San Francisco, should be in
terested in the following list of sugges-
tons written down for the reporter by
Chit Kearns.
Beginning with the attic, don't pile
the stairs with books and boxes, which
would obstruct the path of the fireman
in case of fire. Don't pile old papers
and magazines against the chimney, as
heat may be generated in these som
day and may start fire, or a crack ii
the chimney may be developed through
Shich sparks may fell. Don't hang thin
electric light cords from nails or nser
boards. The insulation of these cords
will soon wear off, the wires will
spark, and if your fuses are not just
right the insulation will start to burn.
This is true Of every part IF the house
as well as the attic. Remember that
spontaneous combustion also often oc-
ours in piles Of old clothes.
Don't leave furniture rags and mops
soaked in oil in corner or shelf of a
closet. Rags With these oils on them
can catch fire by themselves in warm
atmosphere. hence they should always
be placed in metal cans. Don't smoke
in bed; you are taking chance every
time if you do so. Electric bed warm
ers are also dangerous unless used with
the utmost caution. Some people use
! an electric light bulb for this purpose,
and numerous fires have resulted from
this cause Never throw rubbish and
ashes in anything but a metal can,<or
box; and never try to light a fire with
kerosene Always determine at night,
before retiring, just what you would do
if awakened suddenly to find the house
on fire and he ordinary means of es-
cape cut off.

an association is good thing that it
should be both statewide and nation

been fought and won. during the last

owners several months ago and the dis
trict's commissioners, c. L. Davies, 4.
j. Nichols and I. J. Qualley. forthwith
initiated necessary proceedings. OPP
position to the issue, said to have or
iginated with the Riverdale Ranch com

Secretary Stanton stated Tuesday that
$4,000 of the authorized bonds will
be advertised for sale early in January
and that it is the purpose of the dis

by pumps operated by electricity taken
from the line of the Montana Power

With funds made available through
sale of the districts bonds, it is the in
tention Of the organization to put all
possible energy behind it's development
work, Mr.. Stanton stated. Canals, lat
erals and other necessary improvements
will be under construction as early in
the spring as possible.

On Board Steamer Pastores, Novem
Der 30.--(By The Associated Press.l-
Homeward bound from his vacation trip
to the canal zone, President Elect Hard
ing Monday told his friends aboard the
vessel that he was greatly pleased with
the result of his visit to the isthhus.
The senator said that not only had he
enjoyed his recreation and outing, but
that he had gained much practical know
ledge about the problems connected with
the operation Of the canal and had ex-
changed courtesies with the officials of
the republic of Panama which he believ-
ed would help toward the maintenance
of friendship Between the two nations.

ROLSHEVISM'S NEW FOR
WARD STEP.

HAVING abolished government
i and law, and found the results
SO successful and satisfactory IN ev-
cry way, bolshevist Russia now pro-
poses to abolish money, says the
Kansas City Star.
1t is happy thought No greater
forward step toward the perfect
state could be imagined, unless, in
deed, Mr.. Lenine could arrange to
abolish food and the troublesome
necessity of eating it. Some progress
has even been made toward that de-
sirable end, it is understood, and it
NAV be fully attained in time If
time itself doesn't find itself abol-
ished first.
Money is a distracting thing to
deal with. It is difficult to get and
harder to keep. 1t really has no
value at all except to buy things
with. If these things can be obtain
ed without money, it is apparent that
money is useless and it is foolish
TO bother with it. No doubt Mr.. Lee
nine has made some arrangements
by which commodities can be OBJ
tanned by the consumer without the
customary tokens of exchange. The
bolshevist government itself gets
what it wants by taking it from
whoever happens to have it. 1t
hasn't been bothering with money
for long time. Perhaps the indi-
viduaI is now expected to do as the
government does, and go and take
what he wants. 1t is a simple and
in many ways an attractive plan, and
vet not without its difficulties.
For there is always the chance
that the individual who has the com
modify may want to keep it. He may
feel that he might find a use for it
himself sometime. IL he wants to
keep it as badly as the; other wants
to take it away from him the conpe-
tition may become lively. 1t might
become as distracting to the neigh.
bors as money itself, and thus be.
come as great an evil as the system
of exchange it had displaced.
Moreover the individual is not as
we'll equipped to get his necessities
without money as the government is
If the individual takes shotgun K
the grocery store every time he wants

PRESENTLY perceive the advantage 81
having two shotguns himself. Thus

we call the balance Of power. Among

Organized labor should not be recog-
nized as the sole mouthpiece of the EN-
ployed class in any community, said
George / Martin, executive secretary Of
the Associated Industries of Idaho, with
headquarters in Idaho Falls, who spoke
Tuesday night in the Palm room of the
Hotel Rainbow.
Arbitration is an American PROPOSE
ton" said Mr. Martin. You hear
nothing IN the way Of demands for arbi-
tration when the closed shop is domln-
ant 1t il only when organized labor
loses Il strike that demand comes from
the unions for arbitration
MIR. Martin was formerly secretary of
the Great Falls division of the Assoclat-
ed Industries of Montana. He also
served as fuel administrator in Great
Falls during the coal strike a year ago.
His talk was heard by about 100 mem
bers of the Associated Industries, Com
mercial club and business and profess
sional men of Great Falls.
Back from National Meeting
Mr.. Martin has just returned from
the meeting in New York of the Nation
al Industrial council, which was attend
ed by 80 secretaries of state Associated
Industries organizations The meeting
in the palm room was presided over
By Thomas Wood, president OF the
Great Falls division of the Associated
Industries of Montana. A short talk
was made, before Mr.. Martins, by Jesse
L. Owen. present secretary OF the
Great Falls division.
With reference to the industrial stu
alton in Great Falls Mr.. Martin said: I
have tried to keep this discussion general
but it is impossible TO close without
reference 10 the phase of the situation
which is personal to you gentlemen, and
to the people of Great Falls. 1t is time
that you give thought to your city. >

COOLIDGE AGAINST LODGE

"NOU can't say" declared Gov.
Coolidge in an address to Bos-
ton business men, that there was
preponderance of votes against the
League Of Nations"
This is horrifying, says the New
York Times. Can't say it2 Why,
it had been said only two days be-
fore, in the most positive way, by
no less person than Senator Lodge.
He figured it out neatly that there
was clear majority Of 100000 vot-
ers, all consciously and explicitly
condemning the League Of Nations
to death.
Schoolmaster Coolidge, however,
points out that Master Henry had
done his sums" wrong. His equa-
ton was askew on both sides. Many
in the south were against the league,
yet they voted the Democratic ticket,
A great number Of Republicans voted
for their party, though strongly tav-
oring the league. So, says the Nm
corrigible governor to the 1--WE hope)
corrigible senator: II doubt IT any
particular mandate was given at the
last election on the question Of the
League of Nations.
Mr.. Harding has indicated that the
next vice president is going to be
given a lot Of work to do. Work
enough. surely, if he has to keep
track of Senator Lodge.
