TELEPHONE METERS

Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse,
N. Y, + vigorously protesting
against the installation of metered
telephone service. If the company
succeeds in metering these three cities,
it will very likely introduce the meter
system generally throughout the
country. At present a telephone sub
scriber may make as many calls and
talk as long as the other fellow on his
part line will let him. Under the
metered plan, he would be limited to
a certain number of calls, and, having
talked a certain length of time, the
call would count as two calls, or per-
haps three or more, depending on how
long he was at it. But the main thing
about the system is that it increases
the cost of telephone service. The
three New York cities are basing their
fight on the ground of various char
tiers OF different companies which have
been swallowed by the Bell interests.
The state public service commission
IS expected to render a verdict in the
contest soon.

The war costs have necessitated in
creased tax burdens that must be
equitably distributed in a manner least
calculated to prevent an early return
of prosperity. The tariff too, pre-
sents new problems arising from the
war, that require unusual thought and
elaboration.
There is more danger of too great
haste in writing these important leg
islatnve acts than there is of too care
full consideration. Both will be on the
statute books within a few weeks. In
view Of the immensely of the results
that will follow the passage of these
bills, no mistakes must be made. The
effect of these laws will be to bring
blessing or blight to the nation. It
is a time for confidence and patience,
for a peace-time patriotism, that will
spur every citizen to help, rather than
hinder, in the great constructive work
before us. Thus only can we hope to
speed the return of equal opportunity
and prosperity and happiness for our
one hundred and ten millions of free
people. In this glorious program of
reconstruction, there is no room for
mere fault-finding, which can only de-
lay the return of the days of nor
malcy."

OUR NEIGHBOR, THE MOON

Harvard's greatest astronomer. Pro.
fessor Pickering, has recently an
nounced his belief that there is life
on the moon, and, naturally, this has
been received with something like a
sensation throughout the scientific
world. Pickering is a scientist of the
highest standing and his views com-
mand respect everywhere.
The moon has always been consid-
cred lifeless. Pickering insists that
photographs made by him with a pow
erful telescope in Jamaica show proofs
of atmosphere and vegetation, and if
these exist, it must be presumed that
animal life also exists on the MOON.
The noon is our nearest neiphbor
and is but 100000 miles distant. How
fascinating is the field opened for ex-
ploration and speculation if it is really
true that animals may be found liv.
ing in these old volcanic craters,
Since the moon cooled off sufficiently
to permit life on its surface long be-
fore the earth was cooled, we must
assume that there are beings on the
moon with intelligence greater than
ours. If Professor Pickering is right,
it is probable that the electrical dis
%turbances that have come at regular
intervals in the atmosphere and have
led Marconi to believe that they NAV
be signals from another world are
from the o instead of Mars.
1t is believed that a wonderful de-
velopment of the telescope is to come
very soon and as photography is con-

RURAL PROGRAM
OF RED CROSS
Great Community Endeavor in
Public Health Nursing and
for Ex- Soldiers Shown
In State.

The 24,646 members Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross in Montana are bring
ing the many departments Of Red
Cross activity in the state to the peo-
pie In the rural communities as well
as the cities. Since the present pro-
gram Of the organization Is especially
well adapted to sparsely settled COM
munities, 1t is meeting a constantly
increasing need.
During the past year a total of
4,11O ex-service men have been served
by the 81 Red Cross Chapters here in
Montana. Many of these men had
families whose problems Of living
while their breadwinners were under
going hospital treatment or vocational
training required attention and help.
That a total of $3OO,OOO was ex-
pended by Chapters in this work for
ex-service men during the past year
n a half shows the. extent Of this
service. Much Of this work was car
ried Oh in the larger cities where
necessarily there Is greater need be-
cause of the numbers of men seeking
employment. Equally important was
the work in Chapters situated near
the mountainous districts where iso-
lated cases needing attention were
often brought to the governments at
tention through the Red Cross.
The U. S. P. II. S. Hospital, at
Helena has three Red Cross workers
caring for the needs of patients. In
addition the same service given the
fighting men during the war is ex-
tended to disabled soldiers. Various
comforts and necessities not provided
by the government are supplied from
Red Cross funds.
In addition to this soldier work a
strong nursing program has been pre-
sented in various parts Of the state.
Glasses in Home Hygiene to the mum
Der Of 222 were held by Red Cross in
structors and Public Health Nurses
during the past year. There are 249
Red Cross nurses enrolled from the
state. Within the past year II Pub
lie Health nurses have been employed
by Chapters.
One Of the important phases of Red
Cross work has been the aid extended
drought sufferers in the sections of
the state where the need has been
great. Funds from national head
quarters have been used in addition to
those Of the local Chapters in carrying
on the work.
While this has been confined to
the communities where drought has
prevailed, the good work which the
Red Cross has accomplished has been
appreciated throughout the state.
While crops have proved abundant in
several Of these localities there Is still
some work to be accomplished. Red
Cross Chapters plan to continue this
help so long as there is any emergent
need for this work.
To this end, the fifth annual Roll
Call, which opens on Armistice Day,
gives every person an opportunity to
renew Red Cross membership for the
coming year. This will enable each
of the SO Chapters to discharge their
community obligations and expand
their service. Every membership dol
lar is an investment In community
welfare work as we'll as in relief
activities locally and nationally,

WARNING GIVEN AGAINST
BUYING GERMAN MARK

New York, Nov. 2.-Speculation in
the German mark in the United
States since the armistice has reach
ed an unprecedented point, according
to international bankers here.
Thousands of persons in all walks
of life, hoping to get rich quick, it
was stated, have invested heavily in
the German currency, which recently
collapsed to a point below one cent
for the first time in financial history.
The buying first started in the
midsummer of 1919, when the mark,
whose pre-war value was 23.S cents,
was selling at z ga to s cents apiece.
New York appeared to be the dis
tributing center. Banks and foreign
exchange houses sprang up on promi-
nent corners, cigar stores and other
business houses began to do a flour
ishing business in the mark.
While the wave of mark buying
was at it's height, peddlers hawked
the German paper on the streets and
one distributor is known to have made
a house to house canvass.
Bankers said this buying contin-
ued as the value of the mark declined,
when the German industrial recovery
failed to materialize as quickly as the
"get-rich-quick" investors had expect
ed. Some weeks ago when the Ger
man paper began to hit new low levels
many of the small investors as we'll
as others began to "cash in" and they
are believed to have taken hundreds
of thousands of dollars in losses,
Many of the spectators, however,
bankers assert, are holding their
marks for a new rise, and are buy
ing the currency at the new low rates

POISON BATS EFFECTIVE
EVEN FOR OLD WISE WOLVES

Even the wise old wolf will fall TO,

trary, by predatory animal inspectors

I'VE arrived on the range one even.
ing" reads a recent Arizona report,
land killed a yearling colt to be used
as a drag. That night we scattered
perhaps $50 poison bats. The next
day we made another drag with an
automobile, and along this drag line
put out about 300 bats. That night
the wolves came in and killed a fine
colt; but they continued over their
regular route of travel until they
crossed the drag line, where each pick
ed up a poison bait. The pair, both
old animals, were found about one-half
mile from where they picked up the
bait.
"One OF them had lost a front foot
in a trap, perhaps two or three years
previously. Stockmen of that range
are now thoroughly convinced that
poison will do the work. When we
first arrived there and proposed to
poison the wolves, the stockmen were
skeptical; in fact, I afterwards heard
that one man said Let the tenderfoot
try it out and then he'll be convinced
that wolves cannot be poisoned" In
In addition to the two instances cited
above, two wolves were killed by pois-
on recently, on the range south of Mel
son, Ariz., and similar cases have oc-
cured in other States where govern-al
operations against wolves are in pro-
gress.

RIDDICk SAYS DEPARTMENT
HEADS Are MAKING GOOD
Systematic Campaign of Criticism by Democratic Press
Does Not Slow Up Work Being Done to Straighten
Out Governmental Tangle Caused by Years
of Democratic Inefficiency.

Calling attention to the organized
criticism appearing in the Democratic
press simultaneously with the rally
call for a meeting Of the Democratic
national committee, Cong. Carl w.
Riddick of Montana says:
Stunned by the severity of its de-
feat, crushed by the consciousness of
the chaos following in the wake of
eight years Of governmental control,
the Democratic party, after a year of
silence, has begun a systematic cam
paign Of criticism Of the Republican
al ADMINISTRATION, directed particularly
at the work Of Congress.
"The American public will not take
this criticism seriously. It bears too
plainly the earmarks of the partisan
fault-finding. The public will not for
get that when the Republican admin
istration assumed control nine short
months ago, it faced staggering prob
lens following in the wake of the
world war. Added to these perplexing
questions was the inheritance of eight
years of Wilson's experiments in his
new freedom, which brought a break
down in our transportation system, a
depression and facing of failure of our
basic agriculture and livestock indus
tries, an initiation of costs and prices
of all the necessities Of life, and an
unprecedented riot Of wastefulness and
extravaganza as a fixed habit in pub
lie and private transactions.
Only a few months have elapsed
since President Harding was inaugur-
ated and called Congress in special
session to restore peace and begin to
undo the accumulated wrongs of eight
years. Peace has been declared and
foreign trade re-established. Disabled
veterans of the war have been grad
ually provided for. Great strides have
been made in re-establishing agricul-
ture and livestock raising, by protec-
ton from ruinous foreign COMPETE
ton, and by providing new lines of
credit and emu to foreign markets.
A budget plan has been evolved, and
is actually in operation. marking a
long step toward the end of govern
ment waste and extravaganza. Defin-
lite steps have been taken to put the
railroads back on their feet, so they
may be able to furnish employment to
thousands now out of work, may EN-
der efficient service, and reduce rates,
effecting a reduction in the cost of
living, and a stimulus to business. La
Dor is protected by stopping the
threatened influx Of immigrants from
the devasted sections of the old world.
Work for thousands of the unemploy-
ed is provided in the road bill just
ready for it's final passage. The House
OF Representatives, after weeks of con-
tinuous night and day work by many
of its members, has passed both a rev.
enue and a tariff bill that together
will meet our unusual financial needs,
and at the same time unshackle bust
ness and manufacturing, and provide
employment for increased millions.
These two latter measures are now be-
fore the Senate. Both measures offer
new problems more complicated and
more bewildering than any that have
been before Congress this generation.

and equalizing their losses. But the
wave of buying has been greatly
checked, they declared.
While bankers are reluctant to dis
cuss the probable outcome of these
speculations, they declare, however,
that only a readjustment of repara-
tons payments, improvement in Ger
many's economic situation, or the ex-
tension of commercial credits to Ger
man manufacturers for raw materials,
will bring about ar improvement in
the value of marks.
