A vote was recently taken on the
wet and dry question among the in
mates OF the prisons in the United
States. More than 10000 voted dry
and only 9O9 voted wet, which shows
that even the lawbreaker is capable
of right thinking and breads the re-
suits of drink.

FAME IN THE OFFING.

Attorney General Daugherty has
determined to take personal charge
of the wal graft prosecutions. Con-
gresham C. Frank Reavis, of Ne
braska, will be associated with him,
resigning his seat in the House for
that special purpose. Mr.. Daugh-
erty will also hive the assistance Of
a number of other distinguished at
torneys, as well as the assistants
regularly assigned to the department
Of justice. By his decision to attend
to the cases himself, Mr.. Daugherty
will save from $25 900 to $4,000 that
would otherwise have had to be paid
TO the attorney put in charge Of them.
He will also have the satisfaction of
personally directing what may well
prove to be the browning achievement
Of the department of justice, and one
of the principal accomplishments OF
the Harding administration. If Mr.
Daugherty succeeds in putting some
of the war fraud culprits behind the
bars and returning their ill-gotte1
gains to the treasury, he will have
won an imperishable name for him
self.

HISTORY OR COMMON
SENSE NOT FOR FORD

Henry Ford's secretary Celebrates
his chiefs plan for financing the Ms
Gle Shoals project by an isse of $780,
100000 in paper currency. This, ac-
cording to Mr.. Ford, would relieve the
contry of the necessity of paying in
terest on bonds which otherwise the
government. might issue to finance
completion of the improvement be-
fore turning them over to the, manu-
facturer. 1t sounds plausible as the
secretary puts it, but it only sounds
so.
Mr.. Ford overlooks the lessons
contained in some hundreds of years
of financial and economic history.
That is natural; he cOrns history.
1t is doubtful that he ever heard of
the French assignats before he pro
NOTED this scheme of getting Muscle
Shoals. But he has heard of the Rus
sian rubles and the German marks
They illustrate convincingiy enough
for most people the disastrous Jelly
of issuing paper money to pay bills
Issue enough of it and it pays moth
ing, but involves its holders and back
ers in economic ruin.
4 And yet Nh. Ford would ESTABLISH
> precisely the precedent for such fol
r ly in the United States. If Muscl
| Shoals could be financed with sue
fiat money, ali public works could b
financed in the same way. 1t woul
make something out of nothing
. That, in time, would make nothin
out of something. 1t would rendt
q the American dollar value equal
> the Russian ruble. Mr.. Ford doesn
carry the idea that far. oHe is co
tent to start it, if he can get Muse
Shoals by SO doing. What can W
y do with a man like thatT

PROTECTION A NATIONAL
POLICY.

The question of protection for
American farm products should not
be a party issue at Washington. That
farm products do feel the effect of
foreign competition, everybody
knows.
It is true that in time of short har-
vests abroad, our grains can be and
are exported. But Canadian dairy
products, Canadian potatoes, even
eggs from China have been imported
from time to time.
In some cases these importations
have forced down even the low Amer
len prices Of farm products in this
land within the past twelve months.
So, if we are to have protection at
ALL, as a national policy, why not
on our farm products?
In the name of common sense
what logic can defend any other pol
icy? Why should senator's ask thai
we protect manufactured goods but
not what our farmers have to sell?
Surely the farms are as necessary
to this country as our factories are
Why treat one any different from
the other Richmond, Ind, Item.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1922-06-21

A leader of the Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION sums up Americas chief
ailment in the following rather dras-
tic fashion:
"High-priced hotels, theaters, ball
parks and other camping grounds OF
amusement and non-production are
charging their capacities to accom-
modate the ever-increasing army OF
refugees from the storms of life.
Golf clubs, cigar factories, jewel
ry establishments, walking can en-
poriums, pet dog kennels, canary bird
~dispensaries and ~bootlegging Joints
are flourishing as never before,
Every street and highway throughout
the land is teeming with automobiles
that are burning expensive gasoline
in the presence of self-imposed idle
ness"
That's all mighty true, and yet who
of us is not guilty in some n par
ticular. Most of us, indeed, could bC
indicted on two, three or a half dozer
counts, and some Of US on all. The
country today is not working hare
enough and is demanding as its RICH
those things which normally CONF
only as a reward Of work.-For

full, on the whole. 1t has been found
to be true that but a small amount
of money is needed to carry on hail
insurance business under state su-
pervision. Critics have always main
tanned that state hail insurance as
well as all other government busl-
ness operations, is an expensive lux
ury. But sue. is not the case.
History of state hail insurance for
the last three or four years has
shown that the state departments
are each year making a better record
from the standpoint of adjustments
and payment of losses. In paying out
the $4,000, 900 in 1921, less than 5
cents of each dollar in hail insurance
funds was used in operating the de-
partments. This same ratio has held
good for the past four years.
"Under the Montana hail insurance
l~y ts4 county assessors act as local
agents without additional compensa-
ton. They accept applications for
hail insurarc ID also distribute re
ports and furnish information. Their
services, coupled with those Of the
county treasureres go a long way II

maintenance"

MONTANA

Montana is to offer to the country
at large a distinct type and quality
of watermelon which will be market
ed in a special manner in carload lots
under a trade name. This was de-
cided upon last week in Forsyth when
watermelon growers of that COM
munity met with M. l.. Wilson, farm
management demonstration of the
Montana Extension Service.
The watermelon grown in the For
syth community is to be known as
the Rosebud Melon" Growers have
signed up 100 acres this year and
the organization expects to market
between so and 100 carloads of high
quality melons this fall.
Inquiries concerning the Rosebud
melons already have begun to reach
the growers in Rosebud county. Il
is recognized that farmers in that To-
cality can grow melons of exceptiona
quality and with a very large pro
duction to the acre. ALI growers arr
planting in hills ten feet square
This year data will be kept to fine
if there is an yadvantage between
summer fallow and melon growing.

BOYS WIN PRIZES
KILLING GOPHERS.

A contest in which 1,135 boys. of
Maricopa county, Arizona, partici-
pated in recently resulted in the kill
ing Of more than $4,000 pocket go
piers. The contest was conducted by
the Biological Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
the University Of Arizona co-operat-
ing. The interest and cooperation
Of the business men of the valley
added greatly to the success of the
campaign.
Each boy was given a trap and in
structed as to the most effective way
of catching the destructive pocket go
pher. The total cost of this huge
catch was $178, or about half a cent
per gopher. II 1 12S
per gopher. Under the old bounty
system these rodents would have cos
the county $1,000 at 5 cents each. II
addition it is estimated that the SO,

to the extent Of at least $4,000
year, if they had not been killed.

allowed to 60 to seed on their ditch
banks in. the future; some Of them
have already agreed to do this. In
form all land owners of the require
ments of the present law, in SO far
as it applies to thistles on their own
land and on their half of any road
joining their lands; section
1 and 2 Of the law above are quoted
for this purpose. 1t should be the
duty of every land owner to cour-
teously notify his neighbor of the
law, if the neighbor does not volun-
tarily take care of the thistles on
his land or adjoining one-half of the
road. Finally, request the railroad
companies to take ARE of the this
ties on their rights of way. THIS
plan, if generally followed, would
prevent most of the thistles from 60
ing to seed and would practically
eliminate one of the Means of fur
Their spread. Then by intensive cui-
tivation and the planting Of more
alfalfa, we could gradually prevent
the further spread from root stalks
and eventually very materially re-
duce the acreage now infested.
AS one step along this line, on
Tuesday, June 20, we hold a
tillage demonstration at the W.
E. Harmon ranch, one and me
half miles northwest of BOzeman. Be-
ginning at 1870 sharp on that day, the
implement dealers of Bozeman
each agreed to demonstrate with one
or more Of their best weeders OF cul-
tivators, showing under field condi-
tions what the Twill do with Canada
thistle and what condition they will
leave summer titled land in. The
demonstration took about two
hours and should be we'll worth the
time of any interested farmer. Such
a plan is worth trying why not try
it out this season; if at the end Of
the season we find that land owner:
will not do it voluntarily, would i
not be well to go before III mex
legislature and try to get a Canad;
thistle law with "real teeth" in it?
The eradication of Canada thistl
in the Gallatin valley is a big job
but it must be done. If any n ha
been successful in its control, or ha
any constructive suggestions to Of
fer as to how it can best be done,

my office and tell me about it or le

r SUMS PAID OUT
IN HAIL

Approximately $40, 900 900 was paid
out last year for hail 'losses by the
state hail insurance departments Of
Montana, North Dakota South Dako'
ia, Nebraska, Saskatchewan and Al
berta according to E. K. Bowman,
chairman of the Montana state board
of hail insurance who was a bust
ness visitor in Great Falls. Losses
ran particularly heavy in this state.
and Alberta where a rate of 1 per
cent or $40 per 800, was necessary
to cover the claims, he said.
"In all of these states, the farmers
carrying state hail insurance have
received the full amount of the adj
justments, except in North Dakota
| Mr.. Bowman said. There a number
of the warrants were sold at a small
discount of from 1 to 2 per cent. Thi
is a remarkable record bearing il
mind the Strengthened financial con
ditions which have existed in nearl,
all of the states.

THE PRIMARY AND HONESTY

Some of our classical politicians are wailing
about the primary law. They say that it should
be changed or altered but they seem to forget
that the primary in principle, is thoroughly good.
They say that it is all bad when as matter of
fact it works evil only because it is abused.
The primary law was intended to give the COM
moner opportunity to have hand in party
administration and to prevent manipulation of
party machinery except by and with the consent
of members. If the primary is not abused, if it's
intention is carried out there is no fairer, more
righteous thing imaginable.
Citizens who are sincere in their effort to
obey the law and it's intent will vote in their own
party primary on September fifth. 1t is, in our
judgment, dishonest for Democrat to enter the
Republican primary. 1t is equally true that Re-
publicans are not invited into the Democratic prl-
mary, unless they intend to vote the Democratic
ticket at the general election, and such Republic
can candidates as VIM. j. Morgan, who breaches
law abatement, can hardly wish the vote of any
Democrat in the primary.
This message while is applies to Democrats
and Republicans alike, is especially meant for
Democrats Democrats in Wisconsin can only
blame themselves and short sighted leadership
for the party's weaknesses today. What ought
to see this year is a normal Democratic party vote
in the primary for Democratic candidates. When
this happens the Democratic party in Wisconsin
will be on its way toward greater strength and
influence.
Throughout the state Karl Mathie, of this
city, has won attention in his battle for the Dem
ocratc nomination for governor. He advances
program of board and commission consolidation
and elimination, of greater state economy and
less partisan graft. He promises an administra-
ton of business character, if elected. He ex-
presses his willingness Democrat to submit
the liquor question to vote of the people in the
1923 election and promises to work for this if
nominated. He not only goes this far but further
says that he will do his utmost if this vote is
taken to help carry out the decision of the voters
of Wisconsin. Mr. Mathe is an honest and reg
ular" Democrat who deserves your support next
Tuesday.
Be honest to yourselves and to your state,
Democrats. Vote in your own party primary next
Tuesday. Every Democratic vote cast for Nor
gan, McHenry or Blaine is distinct slap at the
very principles of Democracy you cherish. Let
our Republican friends fight their own battle
the dishamony they have created in their own
ranks is no concern of ours.
We have men and women of big calibre on
the Democratic ticket and in order to win them
place on the official ballot for the general cleo
tion the vote of thousands of Democrats will be
needed in the primary.
Think this over, Mr.. and Mrs. Democrat-let
take full measure of our party loyalty on Tues
day.
