MISSOULA OFFERS Big
BONUS FOR FIRST OIL
Business men of Garden City Offer a
$4,000 Reward to Drillers Who
Bring in First Well.

Missoula, Mar. IA fortune will be
the reward of the drillers who first
strike oil in the Frenchtown valley or
the vicinity of Missoula. A committee
Of Missoula citizens will within the
next few days make a whirlwind cam
paign to obtain $4,000 in subscrip-
tons as a bonus for the first CONNER

This committee, which consists of H.
l.. ~Bickenbach, Joseph Farley, l.. j.
Croonenberghs and Don Hoon, assist
ed by William Murphy, as counsel, and
working under the auspices of the
chamber of commerce., is preparing a
subscription list.
In Form of Note.
This list will be headed in the form
of a legal note, binding in every way,
providing for the subscription and pay
ment of $35,000 for the first oil we'll
brought in here under certain %stipula-
lions, as follows:
Thirty-five thousand dollars will be
paid for the first oil we'll brought in
within % miles of Missoula and S25,-
600 for a we'll within 60 miles of the
city, with a graded bonus for inter

to keep the country On a self-sustain-
ing basis as to foods and other articles
of agricultural production. Therefore,
we have need, through processes of re-
clamation and development, to increase
the rate at which we are opening new
farms.
Inevitably we shall find that u ma
ton must continue a large importer,
and in order that the balance of trade
shall not be disastrously- against US
we must seek to export to new foreign
markets. To that end there must be
new commercial treaties and interna-
tional trade agreements, whereby our
business men may gain the largest
possible trade expansion in the for
eign field.
We will do well to keep in mind
when We hear the appeals of the pres
ent administration for continuance in
authority, that it has exercised such
extraordinary war powers as have new
er before been conferred upon the Am
erican government. AS a result of this
exercise we find ourselves in a time
Of organization and recognize that
there has been persistent encourage
ment to dangerously radical economic
thought. 1t is going to require the
sober sense and cool-headed judgment
of the whole American people to put
us back on the high road of progress;
and when we have accomplished that,
we will be safe in putting behind the
mechanism all the power and vitality
of American energy and enterprise,
and we may safely expect to go ahead
to new and greater achievements.
We must get back to the methods of
business, without the hampering re
sJrictions and bullying methods that
have been so extensively introduced.
Instead of suspicion and hostility
which in recent years have marked the
relations between autocratic govern
ment and business, we must introduce
a spirit of mutual interest, Of under
standing and of willingness to cooper
ate.
We have had more than enough of
the curious theory that government
and business are hostile to each other.
They ought mutually to support and
sustain each other. 1t is true, of
course, that special favors to particu-
lar businesses are always t ODE avoid
ed; but it is equally true that special
antagonism to business must not be
permitted. We want q fair deal for

Business Sense
In Government


the best managed and ORGANIZED bust
ness in the world. But American gov
ernmental business, in the period since
we entered the war, has been, | think
we may fairly say, the worst managed
governmental business outside Russia,
Germany and AUSTRIA Hungary.
What we may hope for the future,
in view of this record, if the same
should be continued in power? The
Democratic nominee, who is pledged
to pursue the policies of the present
administration, has been going up and
down the land promising reduction of
taxation. How does he propose to re-
duce taxes at a time when the govern
ment debt, already above S24, 600 ,OO0,-
600, is increasing at a rate not far
from $1,000,000 a year? The Demo-
cratic administration is leaving I'M
done the things that are possible and
promising to do the things that are
utterly impossible.
The war taught US how important
it is to foster certain industries that
are essential to the nation. AS to these
essentials-the production of those
necessaries of life which our country
is capable of producing in sufficient
supply for all of our requirements
our verp national security may at any
time be found to depend upon our abil-
ity to supply our needs. The war
demonstrated that no country was so
nearly self-contained and self-sustain-
ing as u own; but it also showed that
ever in our case there is necessity for
encouraging the rounded perfection of
our industrial and economic equipment.
Inevitably, as other countries face
the necessity of exporting more than
they import in order to restore their
trade balance, they will endeavor to
undersell US in our own markets, and
it will be necessary for us to return
to the Republican policy of protection,
wisely adjusted, to meet these parti-
cular conditions.
All these problems must be studied
carefully and intelligently. We must
encourage agriculture, because that is
the basis of all industrial life. AS l
have said heretofore, the number of
farms in America and their producing
apacity are not increasing fast enough

The Case of Sugar.
American common sense will readily
enough recognize that nothing could
be more ridiculous that the appeal for
continuance of a regime wherein one
element of the community has been
outrageously overtaxed while another
has enjoyed opportunity to exact such
prices as have been imposed on the
consuming public. A single illustra-
ton, which might be multiplied many
times, is found in the country's eXper-
fence with sugar in the past year.
The President vetoed the proposal
to buy on behalf of the COVER ment,
the Cuban sugar crop of 19l9-192O be-
cause of his insistence that we must
rturn to the normal operation of the
law of supply and demand. So the
Cuban sugar crop, which might have
been bought by the government at
six cents a pound and furnished to the
people at ten or twelve cents, was al
lowed to fall into the hands of specu-
~lators. The distortion of the law OF
supply and demand enabled them with
out effective governmental interference
to collect two or three times a fair and
reasonable price.
There is the best authority for say
ing the public has been mulcted OF
more than 81 600, 900 900 in excessive
charges for sugar in the last year, alb
solutely without excuse OF justification.
That is the sort of administration We
have had, and it is the sort of admin
istration which the country wants to
be rid of.
The task before us is not an easy
one. The prodigalities of adlninistra-
ton Of the last few years cannot be
Topped off without determined and per
sistent effort. Positions once created
in the government sevrice. salaries
once listed on the nations payroll are
in the government service, salaries
there must and will be systematic and
effective reduction of government
penses. The burden of taxation both
by the government and by the prof
teers will be removed from the patient
shoulders of the American public just
as fast as possible.

TIE BANNER
MONTH IN OIL PRODUCTION
100000 Barrels of Oil Shipped from
the Cat Creek Fields in First
20 Days of February.

Winnett, Feb. 24.-Approximately
100000 barrels of oil were shipped
from the Cat Greek field to the re-
fneries at Greybull, Wyo., during the
firlt 20 days of this month, making
an average of 5000 per day, or $50, 900
barrels for a 30-day month.
Every day has seen one train of
from 16 to 10 ears leave the Winnett
yards, and last Wednesday two trains
Of that size were required to keep the
tracks clear.
The daily run of the pipe line has
been 5000 barrels, so that the ship
ments have just about taken care of
greater amount comes from the wells
Of the Mid-Northern and Franz eek
Basin) companies, the former having
SIX and the latter five wells flowing in
to the pipe line.
1t has been learned from good au-
thority that three Frantz wells alone
produce 2,100 barrels of the 5000 daily
run, or 700 barrels a day for each Of
these wells.
One-half of the oil produced in Cat
Greek it said, upon good authority, to
be produced by the Frantz corporation,
which company seems to be urging its
wells to the utmost at the present
time. All efforts are being made by
both the Frantz and Mid-Northern
companies to get the maximum pro-
duction possible at this time.
The fact that the Mid-Northern has
not a single well drilling now bears out
the belief that the policy of this COM
pany at the present time is to concen-
trate all its efforts on production. The
Frantz, on the other hand, seems to be
entering an extensive development
campaign, particularly in the region of
the Musselshell river neal the discov-
cry well.

that any present increase in naval
armament by her or by us is an effort
to meet the naval growth of the other.
That being true, there appears no valid
objection to equalizing the two nayies.
and equalization should not mean con-
struction by the weaker country until it
reaches the strength Of the former.
Construction by both should cease, and
equality be reached by retiring from
service certain ships Of the stronger
navy or assigning them to the weaker.

A large number of the movie actors
and actresses have joined in protest
against featuring Clara Hamon on the
film. They declare that she is no
credit to the profession and that it is
serious mistake for anybody finan-
cially interested in the welfare and
responsibility Of filmdom to encourage
the entrance into the field of such
characters. Clara Hamon is not an
actress and probably never will be.
Her whole stock-in-trade is the no
toriety she secured because Of the
death of a millionaire politician. There
are some people engaged in perform
ing before the screen who have honor
and character and very naturally these
do not want the dignity of the profess
sion lowered by Clara Hamon and
other creatures of her sort.

CLEAR VISION.
3. Carvell, chairman

F. 3. Cavell, chairman Of the
Canadian board of railway commits
sioners, has a very clear vision. He
says the Canadian railroads were
forced to meet the increased wages OF
railway employees in the United States
under the Adamson bill, which the
Wilson administration forced through
congress just before the election of
1916. In speaking of that law and of
its subsequent administration under
McAdoo Mr.. Carvell truthfully says:
''The McAdoo award is one of the
most Ubiquitous pieces of legislation
ever foisted on the United States. The
award was not based on good judg-
ment, on railway economics, nor on
gooN business principles. 1t was mere.
ly offered and adopted as vote
catcher"

NEED OF REFOREsTATICN.

Timber depletion has now reached a
point in this country where three-tifths
Of the primeval forests are gone and
where 81 per cent of the timber that
is left is west Of the Great Plains, Col.
w. Il. Greeley, Chief Forester of the
United States Forest Service, recently
told the members of the Chicago AssO-
|ciation of Commerce. '''''''''''
Liberal use CT American forests was
a necessary part of the commercial
growth of this nation, Col. Greeley be-
lieves, but reforestation should have
been practiccd, if not from the start,
1t least in late years. There is an
abundant area of forest land to support
all industries, and liberal supply of
wood is most necessary to the people
Il was thought that. like the European
countries, we would use, when our
civilization was older. but One-third or
half as much wood per capita us
we did in the early days. But this
rule does not seem to apply to the
American people. The older the states
o,:d communities grow the more timber
they seem to require in one form or
another.
Federal and state governments ought
TO inaugurate a comprehensive program
of reforestation and carry it out. 1t
requires from 80 to 100 years to grow

Secretary of War Weeks puts the
case rather blUntiy when he told his
Pittsburgh audience that the United
States must raise $17,O00,OO0,OO0 in the
next thirty months. OF course that
figure was largely based on estimates.
but an Investigation of the debts com
ing due in that period and the cost
of running the government in the mean
time shows that Mr. Weeks total is
essentially correct. Those of our citi-
Gems who have their attention focused
on some pet project involving an appro.
priation from the federal treasury
should ask themselves if it cannot be
postponed until a more suspicious time.
In this $4,000, 0G0,G00 are included the
Issues of AS per cent bonds. also quite
a sum in treasury certificates. The
public should not be expected to pay
these obligations by taxation. but they
should be refunded and allowed to run
over a long period of years. Neverthe-
less. the money must be raised i'm some
way to take care of them within the
next thirty months.

Everybody who has given any at
tention to the question, in congress
and out. is Of the opinion that COM
prehensive policy of reforestation
should be adopted, yet little is done to
bring about such desirable consuma-
ton. The Harding administration
ought to inaugurate the policy on a
big scale and future generations will
call it blessed. There is no difference
of opinion as to the desirability of
such a policy, yet the matter drags
along without much being done.

A STITCH IN TIME.

Sioux City Journal: The announced
policy of the Harding administration
through the labor department to main
tain the industrial equilibrium by pre-
venting strikes as they are threatened
comes as promise to industrial
America. Secretary Davis has said he
believes in stopping strikes before they
occur. He would put out the fire in
its incipiency. He believes in early
mediation, taking the stitch in time.
National happiness depends upon
the maintenance of the industrial
equilibrium. 1t follows that individual
comfort also depends upon it. And
with the secretary of labor determined
to prevent Industrial disorganization
when possible he will be able to give
service of value to the people.
I'VE are going to try not to let mat
tors get as far as a strike i'll any in
dustry. We believe there is a way in
every industrial dispute. a way with
out stopping work. We believe that
10th the employers and the employees
are reasonable melf We are going
to try to help them find that meeting
where they can settle their differ
ences." This is the statement of Sec
rotary Davis in commenting on the
policy of his department. When he is
able to work out his plans in line
with this policy he will have done
much.
Another thing: The secretary says
his department is not going to line up
on one side or the other; that it will
deal fairly and squarely with both
labor and capital. He wants employ
ers everywhere to feel that the de-
partment is as much their department
as labor's, and vice versa. In the
past the department has been cOnsid-
cred, perhaps unjustly, as favoring or
ganized labor. II true, the depart
ment was wrong. There should be no
difference between members of the

HURRAH FOR THE GOVERNOR!

1t is quite apparent that Gov. Ken
dali is not going to allow such an out
rage as the Springer public utilities
bill to be pcrpctratcd upon the people
of Iowa. and has sent the iniquitous
measure back to the legislature with
his veto attached. This action places
the governor sQuarely on the side OF the
people and against special interests. the
place which he should occupy and the
place where the people of the state be-
lievcd he would stand when they elect
cd him.
Persistent effort has been made for
twenty years TO get this kind OF law
upon the statute books of the state and
it is surprising that the present legis-
laturc would endorse it. Indications
are that it got through the house while
, some of the members were asleep at
thcir posts. At any rate. after the
house had realized what an outrage it
had committed in passing the bill it
asked the senate to return it, but as
the interests seem to have the senate
for the time being in their grasp the
senate refused to return it to the house.
However, the veto Of Gov. Kendall
kills the measure and saves to the peO-
pie the power of having some regula-
tory authority over the public service
corporations Of the state.
The Frccman-J Journal has regarded
Nate Kendall highly for many years
and ii is glad to believe that its con-
tidences have not been misplaced. His
veto Of this measure. which required Il
LOT of courage and stamina, is a long
step toward ROoseyeltianism. OF
course the governor will be severely
assaiicd for vetoing this bill. Gov.
Cummins was assailed for opposing one
like 1t. But the people stood by Gov.
Cunmins then and they will stand by
Coy. Kendall nov.
