MiIIerS Rate
B~0nefiCiarieS Said

Cooperation of Montana farmers
and grain growers is sought by the
Montana Millers' association in an eff
fort to reduce the domestic freight
rate on wheat The millers are MAX
ing an effort TO bring down the rate
on wheat from Montana points to
Minneapolis to a level which will
equal that of the new export" rate
on wheat to Puget sound points. Such
a reduction Will be Immediately re
Elected in that much profit to the Mon
tana farmers, the miliers point out
They also state that much misun-
Outstanding has arisen over the new
export rate on wheat TO Puget Sound
points. The belief has been general
that this reduction will be a benefit to
the Montana grain growers. The mill
Iers point out that this is not the case.
Ihey explain that the export rate Is
a reduction which benefits only the
Puget Sound millers. The export rate
provides for a refund to the Puget
Sound millers of approximately seven
cents on every hundred pounds of
Montana hard wheat which is ground
into flour and exported to foreign
countries. However, the Puget Sound
mlllers buy the Montana wheat on the
Minneapolis daily quotations, similar
ly as all other wheat buyers and the
on export flour goes to them
and not to the grower.
Any reductions on the Montana to
Minneapolis rate, however, is immed-
lately reflected to the Montana grow
ers in that much increase in their
priee@t is believed that the idea Of a
benefitto Montana farmers from the
export rate came from the discussion
Of a Puget Sound price. The Mon
ana millers point out, however, that
the Puget Sound buyers use the daily
market prices from Minneapolis.
There is no recognized wheat quota
ion coming from western cities.

istration, who can get things done for
Montana.
The, biggest business in Montana
and the nation is farming. We need
more men in IN who know the
farmer problems and who will have
a real interest in solving them along
sound lines.
Carl w. Riddick is a republican
and a Montana farmer. His record
is that Of an efficient worker for
all measures of benefit to farmers.
Carl Riddick is completing his
fourth year as congressman from the
Eastern Montana district. His whole
record is n of service. He gets
things done. His ability to get re-
suits, his favorable acquaintance at
Washington, and his experience gain
ed during the last four years all
make him the best man for Mon
tana to elect to the United States
senate.
A necessary qualification for any
mar who aspires to represent Mon
tana in the United States senate
should be a record Of 100 per cent
Am~ericanism at all times. Carl Rid
dick has such a record that no Mon
tanan need offer apologies. He has
never been associated or a sympa-
thizer with traitors and the ~disloyal.
For political effect, certain Butte
and Helena politicians and news
papers that try to dominate the pol
itics and voters Of Montana, denounce
Riddick and his record, and by half
truths and deception seek to make it
appear that he has neglected his
work at Washington. Contrasted
with those tricky statements are the
statements Of such upright
and trustworthy men as Senator
Arthur Capper, Senator Henry l..
National President Howard Of
Federal Farm Bureau and other
ike men whose word is never doubt
I'd, that Congressman Riddick has at

Envoy of Operators, Calling at

The central coal committee is con-

operators who are failing to CO.
operate with the federal fuel orsani-
cation in price control. according to
the Associated Press.
Defense of the government against
price advances above the maximum
charges agreed upon by the pro-
Hoover was declared to lie in the
power OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission to allocate coal cars so
that mines boosting prices would be
without transportation facilities.
Department of Justice officials con-
nected with the federal fuel organi-
cation were said to have advised the
committee that the commission had
ample authority under the law to so
distribute cars to the mines as to
effectively control their charges. The
question to be determined. it was
understood, was whether the commits
sion would exercise these emergency
powers to their full extent.

GOVERNORS PLAN RELIEF.
Would Send Committee to d. c.
From Northwestern States.

BY the Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Mimi, August 11.-Prepa-
rations for sending to Washington
representatives from Iowa. Wisconsin,
Minnesota. North Dakota and South
Dakota. to be known as the north
western coal committee, to aid in
speeding up coal shipments to this
section, were under way today fol-
lowing the conference of governors of
these states here yesterday.
Close on the heels of the confer
ence came word from Washington
that an increase of $4,000 tons each
week in the movement of bituminous
coal to the northwest had been al
lowed by the federal coal committee.
This will make total of 250,000 tons
a week to come via Lake Superior
ports.
According to figures given out by
Gov. Preus of Minnesota at the gov
ernors conference. the bituminous
coal delivered at the docks at Su-
perior and Duluth during April. May.
June and July this year is more than
100000 tons behind the figures for
the same period last year.

largely for it's fuel supply from the
stocks available at the head of the
lakes. all the governors-Preus of
Minnesota. McMaster of South Da-
kota, NeStos of North Dakota, Blain e

urged drastic steps by the federal
government to insure this supply.

MEXICAN OIL LAND
RULINGS HELD VAIN
State Department Says De.
cisionS Fail to Protect
Americans.

That the recent oil land decisions
Of the Mexican supreme court do not
entirely meet the demands of the
Washington government for the COM
plete protection of the property
rights of Americans in Mexico is
clearly indicated in the following
statement issued by the State De-
partment:
THE department has received the
text of four decisions Of the Mexican
supreme court rendered in May last
IN amparo proceedings instituted by
petroleum companies. These four de-
cisions seem to be Identical in all es-
sential particulars. and together with
the similar decision of that court
rendered August 80. 1921, in the am
paro case, brought by the Texas
company, appear to constitute wnat
ls called precedent in Mexican ju
risprudence.
These opinions set forth that ar
tlcle ~ Of the Mexican constitution.
providing that no law shall be given
retroactive effect to the prejudice OF
any person whatsoever, does not re-
!ate to the provisions of the consti-
tutlon itself, and that when the
constitution embodies retroactive pro-
actively.
4u"eu hISntS 1BHue.
1T is further set forth that the
the Mexican constitution of 1917.
referring to petroleum and other
supsoil substances. cannot be con-
sldered to be retroactive. as it
does not injure previous and legiti-
mateiy acquired rights but it is ap-
paren, paindi., that the application Of the
prihclple thus declared must depend
upon what is considered to be an
acquired right
Inc five decisions creating the
precedent in question relate exclu-
siveiy to cases of leases or contracts
~nlch were made by owners of land
Ior prospecting for and working pc
troieum. and ii said that thereby the
privileges of the owners of the lands
were translated into positive acts
and accordingly the claimants. as the
iessees or holders of these contracts
had acquired rights to the injury of
which the provision of the constitu-
ton OF 1917 for the naturalization of
petroleum could not be applied The
inference from these decisions is that
petroleum properties in process of de-
velopment before May !, 1917. when
the present constitution took effect.
are protected from a retroactive ap-
plication Of the fourth paragraph of
article 81.
These decisions do not. however. ef-
.e'IiHeIS zeal Win the rights of
American citizens in lands containing
petroleum or other subsoil substances
where the lands were owned prior to
May l. 1917, but had not been devei-
oped or as to which leases or contract
rights to prospect for and work pc
troleum had not been granted before
that date.
The question whether the owners
of the land in such a case have ap-
propriate protection is yet to be de-
termined by the Mexican supreme
court 1t is understood that there are
large number of amparo proceed
ings before that court which involve
that question and are still undecided.
The department has been advised
also by the Mexican authorities that
the Mexican congress has sole author
ity to regulate by an appropriate or
ganic law the Interpretation of the
precepts of the constitution and that
no organic law for this purpose has
yet been enacted"

be determined either by law passed
by Congress or by a treaty. A COM
