Goddard Lauds
 Bank System at
 kiwanis Meeting

The Federal Reserve System has been through two of the most seri0U periods this country has ever known turing the war when credi- and currency had to be greatly expanded, and during the present reconstruction period when contraction is absolutely necessary. The system has been tried and not found wanting and the members of this club would do well oy their moral influence, at least to combat any influence that has for it's purpose the tearing down of the Fed eral Reserve Systeu1,'' said Robert D. Goddard, Dem ocrattc candidate for state trea9urer in an address on The Federal Reserve Sys :eIn'' before the members Of the Siwa 1is club yester- day noon at a luncheon in the Strat- field hotel.
 MT. Goddard said in part:
 The banking system up to the tiE1e of the passage of the Federal Reserve Act, while it had many substantial merits, had not kept pace with other lines of industry There were several serious defects, chief of which were dencrailzarton ,tnelastic ty or credit. cumbersome exchange md transfer system, and defective organization as

MERRITT lEREL-ICT
 ID PUBLIC DUTIES CHARGE BY M'NEIL
IERRITT DERELTCT-One

| Stratford Oct. 20-ArchibaId Me Neil Jr., Democratic nominee for Congress from the Fourth district, charged Congressman Schuyler Mer- election, with being dereIict in his duty as Congressman from this dis trict at a rally of Democrats held here last night in Red Mems hall. MT. McNeil charged that Merritt was absent from his seat on Congress when important measures came be- fore the House, thereby shirlxing his duty. '"The Congressional record shows" MT McNeil said, '.that Con gressman Merritt voted 135 times out of 37S times.'' MT. McNeil further charged that Merritt did not give the proper attention to the waterways and habrors of Connecticut. For Soldier Bonus.
 MT. McNeil, in clearing his stand on the tariff, declared that he was not in favor of most of the provisions of the F'ordney- y-McCumber bill but was in favor of ample protection for Con- necticut. The Democratic candidate for Congress further declared that the tariff was made for the special in- terests. He went on record as in favor of reduction of the income tax and the substitution of a graduated necessities and a heavy one on luxuries. Concluding. MT. McNeil reiterated his stand on the soldiers bonus.
 
 Thomas J. Speuacy, Democratic nominee for United States Senator taunted Senator George P. Mclean for his reDudiation of the Republican platform. MT. Speuacy said:
 sI will inform the Senator and the people of Connecticut that my idea of a tariff is that it is not a political but an economic question; it should be based on facts and not upon the desires of selfish interests, industries that need protection should be afford protection We have in existence a non-partisan commission.

 Up to the time of the organization of the Federal Reserve Bank. the elasticity of the currency depended on the abil1ty o1 the National banks to purchase certain issues of U.

S. bonds often declined when business was slack. ana rose at times when business was active. The price of Government bonds determined to a large degree the eXpansion and con- traction of credit.

kin has rendered an opinion, upon the
request of the taxpayers association
of Lewis and Clark county, that it
is within the power of the board of
county commissioners to reduce the
salaries and number of deputy coun-
ty officers, no such aston is contem-
plated by the Cascade county board,
according to Ben C. Johnson, chair
man, who stated that the board had
not officially considered the question
The opinion says that only two of
fices the county assessor and the coun-
ty treasurer, are allowed by the law
to have additional temporary depu-

number named in the statute and

Present Outlook Promises Well for
Good Price for Coming Wheat Crop

ceeded in Argentina and Australia
it developed that in neither country
could the yield come up to the early
reports, and the final official report
on the Canadian crop placed it at 3d.
0O0, 900 bushels below the estimate
current in the fall. The reduction in
Canada, however, al more than off
set by an increase in the official esti-
mate for the United States. Unfav-
orable reports on the condition of the
fall sown crop in the southwest had
become a factor and so also the War
rem report on probable European
needs, which was quickly verified by
increased European purchases. I'M
der the influence of these develop
ments the market became very active
in February and advanced rapidly,
the present price in Montana being
around $1,.20.
From this time on the market will
be influenced by the crop prospects
in this country. Kansas is the big
gest producer of winter wheat, and
in that state and the adjoining south
west the crop failed to get moisture
enough in the fall to give it a good
and has had very little of either
snow or rain since. Crop experts have
been predicting a heavy abandonment

The situation supports the view
hat SO long as Russia is not an ex-
porter, the worlds supply and demand
viii -be-eleseI ~ balanced when the
wheat crop is generally good, and that
/ short crop with any important pro-
is likely to send prices sky

Large Cows Prove Greatest Pro-
duCerS Of Dairy Products in Tests

Figures collected from various cow
testing associations throughout the
country and compiled by the United
States department of agriculture tend
to confirm the previous conclusions
of the department that within the
breeds, so far as they were repre-
scented by these animals, which were
mostly grades, the large cows are the
biggest producers of dairy products
and are also the most profitable The
evidence seems to point to the fact
that in the individual farmers herd it
will be found that on the average the
larger cows are more profitable than
the smaller ones, although there are
some indications that this may not
hold true in the case of herds of ma
tive cattle containing much beef
blood.
The cows whose records have been
used by the department have been
sorted out so that only mature animals
were used for these comparisons,
thus eliminating any differences that
might have been caused by the imma-
turityE0f some ows
In one group for which figures have
been prepared there we're 100 cows
classified as small, 201 as medium
and l29 as large. The small COWS av-
243 pounds of butterfat a year,
and made an income over the cost of
feed of 77.39. Those Of medium size
made 289 pounds of butterfat and an
over feed cost Of 1891. The
large cows produced 345 pounds of
butterfat and a return above feed cost
of 105.74,
In another group there were 461
small cows, 483 classed as medium,
and 326 large. Those in the first

Every development in the wheat
market during the past month has
made things look better for the Mon
tana grower for the coming fall.
1t has been known since last sum-
mer that the worlds supply and con-
sumption of wheat would be closely
balanced for this crop year, much de-
pending upon crops in the southern
ern hemisphere. The early reperts
as to the crops of Argentina and
Australia were of large yields and the
Canadian crop was estimated to be
considerably above that Of 1920.
Confidence in wheat, among both pros
ducers and spectators, had been
weakened by the great decline of the
previous year with the result that
the farmers marketed the crop rap
idly and as stocks in sight increased
there was not courage enough in the
markets to take the offerings without
price declines. The farmers suffered
from a lack of speculative buying.
More buyers were needed who had
faith in wheat. II will be remembered
that about that time the so-called
farmers bloc in congress was hot on
the trail of the Spectator, and has
been claiming credit for enacting a
law TO curtail his operations. OF course
cannot be positively said that wheat
would have been higher but for this
act, but if it interfered with the free
dom of the markets, it was bound to
be detrimental, and it is certain that
suffered last fall from a lack
Of speculative buying. The low price

figures for the years 1916 to 1919,
