days and weeks talking over a mat
ter, but more men of action. What we
need is real workers.
ut is just as ridiculous for a Butte
lawyer to invite Fergus county far
mer to exchange oratory and wit on
the platform before the public as it
would be for Fergus county farmer
to invite Butte lawyer to a wheat
shocking contest; the thing has no
bearing on his ability to get results
in the United States senate"
AS above said, this debate would
serve the public well because it would
test out whether or not Wheeler has
or has not any hard and fast political
principles. In his speeches he is one
thing in one place and another thing
at another place. In a written de-
bate he could be pinned down upon
the great issues Of the day so all
the people Of the state should know
where he stands.
Wheeler aims to hold the radicals,
the laboring men and the farmers, and
yet he wants the support of the great
mining interests of Butte, the Butte
Miner, the Helena Independent, the
power and railway companies, and the
reactionary elements and capitalistic
powers of the state. A written de-
bate might tear the mask off of him,
so he declines to enter it.

more men in congress who know the
farmer problems and who will have
a real interest in solving them along
sound lines.
Carl w. Riddick is republican and
a Montana farmer. His record is
that of an efficient worker for Mon
tana and loyal worker for all mea-
sures of benefit to farmers.
Carl Riddick is completing his
fourth year as congressman from the
Eastern Montana district. His whole
record is one of service. He gets
things done. His ability to get re-
suits, his favorable acquaintance at
Washington, and his experience gained
during the last four years all make
him the best man for Montana to
elect to the United States senate.
A necessary qualification for any
man who aspires to represent Mon
tana in the United States senate should
be record of 100 per cent American
ism at all times. Carl Riddick has
such record that no Montanan need
offer apologies. He has never been
associated or sympathizer with trai-
tors and the disloyal.
For political effect, certain Butte
and Helena politicians and newspapers
The Glasgow courier., 1922-10-20

that try to dominate the politics 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 Wash
ington. Contrasted with those trickv
statements are the public statements
of such upright and trustworthy men
as Senator Arthur Capper, Senator
Henry L. Myer, National President
Howard Of the Federal Farm Bu-
reau and other like men whose word
is never doubted, that Congressman
Riddick has at all times been an ear
nest, diligent and efficient worker,
giving close attention to his duties.
The thousands of people who have
had occasion to call upon him know
from personal experience that he is
always on the job.
Carl Riddick carried eastern Men
tana at the election two years ago by
a majority of over $1,000. His tre-
mendous vote in the recent primaries
shows he is now stronger there than
ever befores People appreciate the
service he renders. He will also prob
ably carry the western district BY a
safe margin. He will appreciate yo~r
vote.

l2 PER CENT

Typical of the "Weekly Comic"
propaganda is the attempt made by
the editor of that sheet to injure
the candidacy of Matt Murray for
state senator by series of carefully
CD veiled editorials under the above
heading.
The twelve per cent "bugaboo" or
iginated in the fertile brain of the
"Weekly Comic" editor and is being
broadcasted with the sole purpose in
view of injuring Mr.. Murray's candi-
dacy. There is little likelihood of
any member of either house being
foolhardy enough to introduce such
measure in the Montana state legis-
lature in the face of present condi-
tions, and in the event that it does
come up, the bill will be massacred be-
fore it gets out of committee.
In another column of this paper will
be found a statement by Mr.. Murray
in which he comes out flatfooted
against any such measure and pledges
his opposition should such bill be
introduced.
The attempt to injure Matt Muir
rays candidacy with the twelve per
cent 'bugaboo" is cheap politics and
comes with poor grace at this time.

BLAME WHERE BLAME BELONGS

In a feeble effort to discredit the
board of county commissioners of VAL
ley county the local "Weekly Comic"
attempts to lay the blame for the
land classification act at the doors
of the county board. The editor of the
weekly Comic" is we'll aware of the
fact that in letting the contract for
the classification of Valley county
lands the board only fulfilled it's duty
and lived up to the law.
The classification act was passed at
the 1919 session of the Montana state
legislature and the bill was introduced
at the request of a commission ap-
pointed by His Honor Governor Stew
art, and after it's passage in the up
per and lower house the bill was ap-
proved by him. The law made it
mandatory for county boards to have
the lands in their respective counties
classified, and the members had no
option in the matter.
If the weekly Comic" wishes to
be fair in it's criticism of the classifi-
cation act it will lay the blame where
blame belongs, to Ex-Governor Stew
art and his commission, and not to
the board of county commissioners
who only fulfilled their duty and
obeyed the law in having the lands
classified.

Play Ball, Mr.. Wheeler.

The Missoulian: Mr.. Rddick was
not endowed with what is commonly
known as the gift of gab." Mr..
Wheeler was abundantly endowed with
that gift. Riddick is worker, tire
less, efficient and willing. If he had
failed to bring results to the people
of his congressional district he would
not have been reelected by majority
of $1,000, the greatest majority ever
given to an elective office in that sec
ton of Montana.
The Record Herald states the case
we'll and truthfully in these words:
"The issue is one of principles. The
debate proposed by Mr.. Rddick would
bring out what he and Mr.. Wheeler
stand for in politics and would stand
for in the senate. What does Mr..
Wheeler stand for? We believe the
public would like to know, and would
welcome the debate proposed by Mr..
Riddick in the newspapers, each gem
tleman stating clearly and exactly his
platform"
The intimation of our Democratic
contemporaries that Mr.. Riddick
would employ writer or lawyer to
prepare his side of the debate is child
The Glasgow courier., 1922-10-20
ish and absurd and will fool nobodv

ish and absurd and will fool nobody.
This evening at Deer Lodge Mr..
Riddick will make his opening speech
of the campaign. Mr.. Riddick pre-
pared the speech during his recent Wis
it in Missoula. He and he alone is
the author Of it. We happen to know
that beyond the peradventure of
doubt" as our late and much beloved
friend, Colonel Nolan, used to say Of
ten to juries.
Copies of Mr.. Riddick's speech have
been forwarded we'll in advance to the
Democratic newspapers of Montana
and it will be interesting to see how
much space will be awarded to it by
the generous, great-souled Democratic
editors in their newspapers Friday
morning. We will be we'll pleased if
the space measures to that given by
The Missoulian to Mr.. Wheeler's
address at Missoula. We are strong
for informing the people of all sides
of everything that pertains to their
interests.
Mr.. Ridick's plan of conducting the
debate to which he was challenged is
fair to both candidates, enabling them
to meet upon equal footing. It has one
very great advantage in that it would
enable the public through the news
papers to get all arguments an facts.
1t is not too late for Mr.. Wheeler to
accept this plan. Otherwise he and
not Mr.. Ridick has been driven to
cover.

says the November Popular Mechanics
magazine. This car, the property of
the American relief, was driven across
the great sand steppes of southern
Russia and was the first machine to
accomplish the passage of these
wastes. However, even this car paid
a severe penalty for the feat. After
the long and dangerous trip, the tiny
car came literally "limping" back with
the appearance and sound, according
to eyewitnesses, of large tin can on
wheels. Somewher on the tour
front spring had been broken, the
main bearings had disappeared, the
clutch band had parted, the oil had
left the crankcase and the tires were
punctured. The driver had used rope,
string, wire and sundry other mater
ials to bind the damaged parts, had
made main bearings from an old lead
pipe, filled the crankcase with lard
and the tires with sand, but the un-
conquerable "flivver" came trium-
phantly "home" under the power of
its own grinding and Knocking" en-
gine.

A GOOD ILLUSTRATION

The circulars and advertising of a
leading bond house on Sept. 80, an
nounced for sale S75,OOO,OOO of ten
twenty year Federal Land bank Az
per cent bonds.
The first line of reading on the cir
cular was "New Issue Exempt from
Federal, State, Municipal and Local
Taxation"
The sale of these bonds means that
$75,O00,000 more dollars will be re-
moved from the country's tax rolls and
remaining taxable property will have
to make up by an equal proportion
the tax revenue thus lost by federal,
state, municipal and local govern
ments.
Also it means that with the govern
ment issuing "tax free" securities it
is becoming harder and harder for en-
ploying industries which now bear the
great burden of taxation, to raise mon
ey for development purposes.
Vast fortunes which now secure all
the protection a government can Of
fer, are escaping the burden of main
tanning such a government by invest
ment of funds in tax-exempt secur-
tiles which the great majority of cit
izens must sweat to protect, if gov
ernment is to be maintained.
President Harding in his message
of December 6, 1921, said:
"Many of US belong to that school
Of thought which is hesitant about al
tering the fundamental law. l think
eur tax problems, the tendency of
wealth to seek non-taxable invest
ments, and the menacing increase in
public debt-federal, state and munich
pal-all justify proposal to change
the copstitution so as to end the issue
Of non-taxable bonds"
Here is the first place to start to
reduce the tax bill. Let all pay their
just proportion of the tax load.
No country can survive with one
half the incomes tax-exempt and the
stAsr half taxable.

From Our
Exchanges
Not Fighting Interests Now,

Miles City Star: A good many
Democrats in Montana doubtless are
wondering what has become of B. X.
Wheeler's fight on the corporations
Of Montana, represented by such Dem
ocratic newspapers as the Butte Miner
and the Helena Independent. Wheel
er's political stock in trade during his
whole political career till this year
consisted of his warfare on the cor
porations avowedly in behalf of the
laboring and farming people of the
state. We hear nothing Of this at
present.
Reviewing Wheeler's political his
tory the Lewistown Democrat-News, a
Democratic newspaper, tells it's read
ers that Wheeler first came into po-
litical notice when he was a member
of the legislature, and continued faith
full to T. J. Walsh, candidate for
United States senator, against the
wishes of the corporations. 1t adds:
T. J. Walsh was the choice Of a
large majority of the Democrats of
Montana, but the enmity of certain
powerful interest in the state prevent
ed his election to the senate. During
his campaign, Wheeler had pledged
himself to vote, if elected, for Walsh,
and he kept that promise under con-
ditions which would have broken a
young man of less courage and less
resolution. Every manner of persua-
sion and threat was exerted by the
men who hold in their hands the fate
of his home city to get him to forsake
the Walsh forces, but in vain. Wheel
er stood staunchly by his prediction
promises and was one of the last to
change his vote on the last night of
the session when Senator Myers was
chosen. That was the beginning Of
the feud between Wheeler and the big
industrial organizations of Butte. 1t
was freely predicted that he would lie
speedily broken and driven from the
state, but he went back home and
started to fight it out with his power
full adversaries."
This is practically correct, and it
will be remembered that the interests
later even forced Wheeler to resign
from the United States district attor-
ney's office. The Miner, the Indepen-
dent, and all the other corporation
newspapers fought Wheeler two years
ago. So did all the forces of the big
interests. This year they are friendly
toward him. Why?
We remember that these interests
fought T. J. Walsh years ago, but for
quite while their newspapers have
been friendly to him. And he has not
said word against them or for the
working people or farmers for years.
Why? If you answer one question,
probably you can answer the other.
The answer is that the big interests
and the corporations never fight men
who quit fighting them.

1t has come to my attention that
enemies of my candidacy are spread
ing the report that if elected l will

gal rate of interest in Montana to IL

lieve that an attempt will be made
by any member of either political

Republican Candidate for State
Senator.

Why Vote Republican?

Miles City Star: Why should the
voters of Montana vote the Republi-
can ticket this year? The reasons are
plain, and they should be irresistible
to any voter who has the welfare of
the country and the state at heart.
For two years Governor Dixon has
been pursuing policy that has as it's
one aim the improvement of condi-
tions for the people of the state
through the equalization of taxes and
economy in government.
For two years President Harding
has been working to meet the great
national problems left us by the war.
In both cases much progress has been
made. The Republican congress has
accomplished much in constructive
legislation, and the governor has gone
some distance along the load that
leads to the establishment of the tax
and administrative system he has in
mind.
To elect Democrats to congress at
this time will merely slow down the
good work. To elect men to the state
legislature opposed to Governor Dix
on's policies will accomplish the same
reactionary and destructive result.
The voters of Montana will serve ev-
cry vital interest if they elect Carl
w. Riddick to the senate, and Scott
Leavitt and Washington J. Mccormick
to the national house of representa-
tives, because in taking that action
they will be furthering the national
constructive program
The voters also have every reason
to vote for legislature that will en-
act laws that will equalize taxes and
put taxes upon property that now
escapes paying it's fair share of the
same. To send men either to the
house or senate of the Montana legis-
lature who are enemies of the tax
equalization program will be the
greatest mistake in the world, and
this is the one great and vital issue
of the state campaign.
1t will do no good to send Democrats
to Washington at this time, because
they would be merely brakes on the
wheels. Riddick has been studying
the needs of the state of Montana for
four years, and Mccormick and Leavitt
are we'll posted on national questions.
These men are in position as Repub-
licans, to aid in constructive legisla-
tion, and that is very important
matter that voters should not forget.

Riddicks Argument is Sound.


Miles City Star: The argument of
fered by Carl w. Riddick, Republican
nominee for United States senator, to
support his view that a debate be-
tween himself and B. X. Wheeler,
Democratic nominee for the same of
flee, would be better conducted through
the newspapers than upon the stump
is sound. Such debate would serve
the public far better than an exchange
OF views on the platform, which neces-
sarily would be very limited in it's
audiences. In an interview at Mis-
soula Mr.. Riddick gave out the follow
ing statement on the issue:
Il felt in advance that Mr.. Wheeler
would not accept the challenge, be-
cause realized that he was making
two kinds Of speeches to two different
groups of people. He certainly is not
saying the same things to the radical
people-the Nonpartisan leaguers and
the radical folk who are following
them-that he is saying to the more
conservative elements to get them to
support him.
"Of course the idea of my not pre-
parlng my own speeches is all nom
sense. / think that is too foolish to
refer to.
"Mr. Wheeler lays a great deal of
stress upon public speaking. 1t is nv
thought-and we have senator's from
different states who do Just as Mr..
Wheeler does-that what is really
needed in the senate is not more pub
lie speakers and debaters who spend

HOW FAR CAN A BIG
LOCOMOTIVE JUMP?

Look over locomotive as it stands
putting in a train shed, and you re-
gard it with certain degree of awe.
You cannot imagine this huge steel
monster jumping at all. You would
say that it couldn't jump. Imagine it's
solid supporting track removed and
you would predict that gravity would
claim its own, regardless of the speed
at which it might be travelling, says
Francis w. Wilson in the November
Popular Mechanics magazine.
Stand close to the track as the same
locomotive rushes past at 60 miles
and hour, and you get another, and
quite different impression-thato of ir-
reslstible force, propelled at speed
like shell fire from a powerful gun.
And then you change your opinion.
Yes, you conclude that, vast though
its weight and clumsy it's proportions,
it might leap across measurable span
with rather flat trajectory.
The bridge engineer of a certain
railway showed me, some years ago,
a photograph of a locomotive taken
just after it had leaped across a 2S-
foot opening. The big drivewheels
rested securely on the crossties after
jumping the span left vacant by an
open drawbridge.
The locomotive had been at the head
OF fast freight previous to the ac-
cldent. 1t was down-grade to the
bridge, and the draw was open. 1t
was impossible to stop. The train
plunged ahead, and the locomotive
reached the opposite side of the chan
mel and alighted right side up and
undamaged. The tender fell into the
opening and and cars piled up in
heap between the two abutments.
An engineer in the maintenance of
way department. of midwest railway
told me the following story, which ]
afterwards verified, for it was diff
cult to believe.
A small stone culvert was to be re-
placed by an iron pipe. There was
sufficient interval between regular
trains to complete the work. Red
flags were posted at the prescribed
distances in both directions. A gang
OF workmen eXcavated the small fill
over the culvert and removed the
stone.
At this stage of the work, IS feet
of the steel rails only spanned the
opening. From them the crossties
hung by the spikes. Underneath the
ties, for height of some feet, there
was nothing but air.
There came the distant rumble of an
approaching train. 1t was Especial"
and the red flag having blown over,
it came rushing on at full speed.
One and all, the workmen dropped
their tools and ran headlong into the
open field. The foreman ran, too, not
venturing to look back, and expecting
every second to hear the seemingly in
evitable crash.
Finally, at safe distance, he
turned to look.
Not only had the locomotive jumped
the space, but, to the amazement of
all, three cars behind it had safely me-
gotiated the hazardous crossing.
