NEEDED-THRlt'T

The economic salvation of the whole
world depends upon Americas ability
to furnish credits to the nations Of the
Old World, and this in turn depends
up on the savings of the individual.
During the recent war many per-
son learned the value of the dollar
while others became spendthrifts. But
business men all over the country real
ize that until all persons learn to spend
judiciously there can be no general
state of prosperity, and without it, the
United States cannot attain the stan
dard in world affairs, that is planned
for her. A year ago a large committee
of business men nationally prominent
promoted and inaugurated a National
Thrift Week.
The program of the week, which be-
gins January 18th, Benjamin Frank
Inns birthday, is based upon a financial
creed, the precepts of which are:
1. Work and Earn; 2, Make a Bud
get; 3. Keep a Record of Expenditures;
d. Have a Bank Account: 5 Carry Life
Insurance; 6. Make a Will; 7. Own
Your Own Home; 8. Pay Your Bills
Promptly; g.. Invest in Government Sc
curities; 10. Share with Others.
On every day of the week some spe-
cial phase of this creed will be empha-
sized. With the industrial and econ
omic conditions of the nation and the
state in chaos. it is important that
sound economic doctrines be taught
in all walks of life, National Thrift
Week is indeed a commendable move
ment, and its purpose should be at
this time the topic in our schools, our
churches and all public and private
institutions.

4 Very Human Document.

The people Of the state are ready
for 4 constructive program, which
fact the governor recognizes, and in
closing his address, the impression
is given 1t is a very human document
based on careful conclusions reached
after considerable study into the i'm
mediate needs Of the state and it is
felt that if the members of the legis-
lature are in the same frame of mind
to do the very best for the state that
is possible under the circumstances and
follow closely alone the lines laid down
in the biennial address much that has
been advocated will have been brought

GOV. ALLEN
CALLS T0WNLEY
Executive of State of Kansas AS

it's Leader.
LEGION WAGESBITTER FIGHT
Head of NOn-Partisan League is Find

New Field. Governor States
That Leaders are Proven
SeditiOnists.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 9.-Attacking
the invasion of Kansas by A. G. Town
ley and Nonpartisan league organizers
from North Dakota, Governor Henry
j. Allen, in a statement Saturday
night, declared Townley's efforts to
"defeat the country at home" during
the war and the f~allacy of the
leagues "socialistic" policy, justifies
any body of men, who love this state,
in their hostility to Townleyism."
Governor Allen expressed approval
of steps taken by former service men
to combat the campaign directed by
Mr.. Towley to intrench the Nonparti-
san league among farmers of the state.
Townley, he said, had seized upon a
period of discomfort among Kansas
farmers, attendant upon the recon
struction period, to spread ~'specious
appeals to class hatred"
American legion posts, which had be-
gun a publicity campaign against
Townley and the league, received
commentator from the governor. AL
though the legion as an organization
has withdrawn from the fight, the for
mer service men who compose it's
membership have banded together in
a defense league" to prevent Town
ley from gaining a foothold in the
state.
Seeks New Field. Charge.
"Townley has been able to present
to North Dakota a lot of dreams which
seemed real" said the governors
statement. "The Nonpartisan league
has lost control of the state govern
ment. The weakness and costs of his
scheme have finally been exposed and
Townley is hunting for new fields.
"Townley and his tribe opposed ap-
preparations for the war supplies and
war materials upon which the very
life of American legion boys depended
at that hour. In the early days of the
war their attitude discouraged volun-
tary enlistment, discouraged the selec-
tive service law and tended to prevent

Along with interesting speculation

the policy of the incoming admins

MOntana'S War Record.

In his message to the legislature,
Governor Dixon points with pride to
Montana's war record, and, incident
ally calls attention to what might be
called an injustice at the hands of the
federal government. Montana fur
nished soldiers on the basis of a mil
lion population. virtually twice the

Montana's war casualties were IN
double proportion to those of the
other states. Then, Montana volun-

Novel Features.

There are some good features in
the governors message, as, for in
stance, his references to commission
government for the counties and the
state, but all in all it is a document
that every citizen can read from start
to last with an unfailing interest and
there will be very few who cannot
agree with the executive in his major
recommendations and none who will
not be edited by a careful reading of
the whole document.-Lewistown Dem

Dixon at the Helm

~Splendidly equipped for the task
which he has assumed, both intel
lecutally and through long years of
experience, Joseph M. Dixon of Mis-
soula yesterday became governor of
Montana. Few men have ever be-
come the head of affairs of any state
who seemed better fitted for the
position than does Mr.. Dixon and
the Leader predicts for him a most
successful administration. - Great

A Sad Swindle

We note that a number of Mon
tana cities are going after the candy
punchboards. There is no more fla
grant form of graft nor none more
calculated to harm the young. Mere
babies gamble on them. AS a rule,
candy thus disposed of brings twice
to four times what it would bring on
sale and it is often very, very infe-
rior candy, at that. We know of no
reason why this open lottery should
continue.-Helena Independent.

Tale of Taxes

ldle OF lakes
1t was unavoidable, perhaps, that
through the first message of the new
governor there should run a dirge-
like note of depression of which" the
burden is more taxation. Taxes, taxes
n more taxes are recommended.
There are demands for an income tax,
although we are now paying such a
tax to the federal government, for
an inheritance tax although there is
an inheritance tax on the statutes,
for a coal tonnage tax, for a tax on the
oil industry, for more taxes on the
mining industry although that indus
try is no longer able to pay dividends,
for a larger automobile tax, for a IL
cense corporation tax, for a gasoline
tax and finally for a tax commission
to reform what is described as the
states obsolete, unscientific and I'M
fair systematic M~issoulian.

The immigration Problem.

The immigration problem is really
a serious one for the United States.
The end of the war in Europe with
the tremendous burdens, the deple-
ton of the raw material supplies, the
destruction of factories and mills,
and the lack of employment for
many thousands of people have COM
bined to make millions of Europeans
anxious to come to the land of OPP
portunity.-Bozeman Courier.
