The news item in The Leader of
March to effect that county unit
proponents were organizing for the
retention Of the system at the COM
ing school election has evidently
stirred up q hornets nest, and from
here on things will be doing in the
way of throwing rocks in the way Of
the county unit.
The meeting, which was held in one
Of the big halls on the ground floor
of the Johnson hotel, was largely at
tended, and at no time was there any
doubt about how the taxpayers pres
ent felt regarding the unit system.
They were against it straight from
the shoulder, and organized for the
purpose of carrying on an active and
aggressive campaign for the svowed
purpose of rejection Of the county
unit at the school election of April q.
The system has been in effect for
four years, the law not allowing a
chance for the people affected to vote
upon it until April 2, 1928. Great
Falls, Belt and Sand Coulee and
Stockett are not affected by the law
and will not vote or have voice in the
coming election.
The following report of the meet
inn mp~ hppdax II, - tha aado~ h.,
a committee consisting of F. A. Civ
ems, Homer Thomas, John York and
Robert Craig, to secure publicity for
their arguments in opposition to the
system which they feel to be neces-
sary at this time because of their con-
tention that county unit propagandists
have had it pretty much their own
way heretofore in the publicity way.
"A meeting of school patrons and
taxpayers of the rural school district
met in Great Falls Sunday afternoon
and effected an organization by elect
ing Matt Richardson of Arlington
permanent chairman and e. l.. Nc
CARNEY Of Cascade secretary-treas-
urer. The following committee, se
lected from those present were ap-
pointed to have charge of the cam
paign for the purpose Of winning the
election for the rejection Of the coun-
ty unit system next April 7th:

Mrs. Cruven Returns to- Helena

Years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Craven lost
three children from diphtheria and
the three mentioned before are those
living. The sole object of this talk
is merely to say that had Rev. Craven
and his estimable wife, who lived the
life Of a minister Of the gospel in
early Montana history and whose
yearly salary perhaps never exceeded
81 200, done nothing else but to give
this family to the world they might
feel satisfied that their stay here was
far from being failure.

THE SCHWEINHUND

In 1870 when Germany pushed a mailed fist into the face of France, there was no alter native, no whining. no suIcn mutterings, no "passve resistance;' France played the game, lost, and went to york; earned the money and paid And closed the account of the 1870 war Today what is Germany doing? Simply and plainly-bluffing. The contention of France has all along been that Germany was buffing. Germany has 25,00O troops massed within ten miles of the French troops France was the country devastated by the Germans. not Germanv's; her factories, farms and in dustries never stopped, never lost penny. But the German character is a mess of lies and subterfuge with the word honor missing. By every possible scheme Germany, the aggressor, has tried to evade the penalty of the wrongs she inflicted, not only upon France but upon all civilization. The fact that the United States has ordered home her troops gives Germany courage to be mDudent and daring. It was old Von Tirpitz, who said Americans we1n self satisfied, money-lovino people wit|- out backbone for resistance. Granted that France has broken the treaty. But Germany shows no willingness to fulfill it. France has a right to hey demands and, always courao oeous, she. is taking means to make them good Vive La France

FOREIGN LABOR IN CANNERIES

Only few weeks ago at a Commercial Club meeting in Ketchikan, a representative from the Wrangel Commercial Club in defending some of the big cannerymen as to the hiring of foreign labor, stated that these canners have now adopted the policy of hiring all local help whenever possible, but according to a California labor report, someone has been misinformed.
 Down in San Francisco there seems to be much agitation over an alleged condition that exists with the workings of many of Alaska 's big canneres. There doesn't seem to be very much said about it in the North, but the an
 ual report of the California State Labor Commissioner treats the subject at consider able length in a report that was made public few days ago. He declares that the Chinese system of recruiting labor for the Alaska sal mon canneries is ''inhuman and revotlng to every American ideal of fair play and justice. :" Commissioner Mathewson describes the hir- ing of thousands of white workers by Chinese, the poor pay, the exploitation of the Mexican and other workers by middleman clotl1ier and outfitter and the gambling, underfeedinG and overworI1ing of the men. His findings are in accord with those of Max Stern, who re centiy wrote an expose of the "Chnese gan@' and the Alaska "hell ships. ''-ketchi- kan News.

cries Bureau, including as it does everyone from Herbert Hoover to local fish wardens, lit is as absurd as it is unauthorized. It will
 do MT. Sutherland no good either in Washing ton or Alaska, and it does incalculable damage to the Territory before the nation and in
 quarters where the Territory needs support. Tt does not reflect the general sentiment of Alaska, where it's expression is deeply re-
 oretted.

In all the propaganda from Europe and from American internationalsts, we find not one word on the subject of British and French accessions of former German territory in Africa. When they are clamoring so hard for the United States to pay directly or indirect ly, the German separations, why not make al 1owance for the immense wealth, of future potcntiality, secured by the Allies as result of the war? Let our American Europo- maniacs at least have the common honesty to tell all the truth.

Recently number of newspapers published a cEart nerpared bv an "economist' showing changes in railroad income, gross and net.

BIG COUNTIES CAN s.
HALT LEGISLATTON
King County Can Invoke Referendum
on Any Measure II wishes


A count of the names signed to III,
petitions asking for a referendum
on the filled milk bill passed Inv tbe
last legislature shows that r. l. ].
simple matter to obain signatures
enough to hold up legislation bv con
flnlng the work of circulating nett
tons to two or three of the big coun.
ties. AS "a matter of fact the figures
would indicate that it should be nos.
sible for King county alone to refer
any piece of legislation it desires
The referendum of the so-called
hiied-mllk bill on which the farm bloc
in the legislature made its princinal
fight, was a measure which the laro.
er cities could be expected to opnose
stronger than the producing sections
OF the state. However, the tabula.
ton of signatures by counties does IL
lustrate the ease with which names
can be obtained in the larger counties
and might, by inference, also show
that II the smaller counties were unit
ed in favor Of a measure they still
would be unable to prevent its being
held up by referendum. aa
This is the first time a count Of
valid names on referendum petition
has been made after the secretary Of
state checked them. For that rea-
son the following totals will be in
teresting no matter how one feels
toward the bill that was affected.
Asotin, 20; Benton, 1s; Chelan $50:
Clarke, 1876; Cowlitz, Sd; Douglas, II;
Franklin So; Grays Harbor 2Os;
Grant, 10; Jefferson, 20; King, Is, 7s2;

Stevens, 65; Thurston, S5; Walla Wal
la, 2O9; Whatcom, TAI; Whitman 81;
Yakima S44.
A referendum petition must obtain
a number of signatures equal to 6
per cent Of the total number of votes
cast for governor at the last general
election, in this case less than $4,000.
Seattle alone had ~, 3O5 registered
voters in 1921, or five times the num-
Der required to refer bill passed by

GROWTH OF
APPLE CROP
Sc
Story of How Washington
Came into First Place
in Nation

Z L. y & = :
How the state Of Washington grad
ually has become the leading apple
producing state in the union, Tar out
distancing New York, and exceeding
the. combined outputs of the other
eight western states which ralse TINS
crop is told in a volume on The Eco
nomic Resources Of the Pacific North
west,' just published by Professor
Howard T. Lewis and Dean Stephen
/. Miller, of the University OF WASH
ington College of Business Admins
tration.
In chapter on the apple indus-
try, written by NJ. L, Dean, OF Wen
atchee, it is pointed oct that the de-
velopment of commercial fruit grow
ing in Washington has been pne-
nomenal.
To-day the industry ranks third IN
the state from the standpoint OF COM
mercial value.' MI. Dean says. IN
1919 The total value Of all crops IN the
state was $161, 100000, the value OF
| the lumber cut was $1OO,OO0,OOO and
the value Of the fruit crop among paid
lgrowers was SCI ,5S5,064.
"The growth Of the industry can
best be shown by comparisons. The
State of New York always comes to
mind in making any fruit comparison
altho it is but q few years ago that
Missouri had more apple trees than
New York. The United States census
OF 1900 gave New York in round num-
bers 15,0OO,0OO bearing apple trees,
Missouri 100000 and the state of
Washington less than two and three
fourths millions.
up to the year 1917 New York had
always produced more apples for mar
ket than any other state. That year
the New York crop was only $500, 1000
barrels Of commercial apples and she
ranked second to Washington, which
produced 4,17e,ooO barrels, Missouri
producing 1,155,OOO barrels. This
. gave Washington over, one-half mil
lion barrels more than the combined
commercial crop of both New York
and Missouri, jumping from sixteenth
place in 1910 TO- first place in eight
years. This fact is the more interest
ing because the state has to ship its
products from two to three thousand
miles 70 the consuming market. The
commercial value of the boxed apple
crop that year was slsSS6,OOO to
should BE added the value Of the cam
ned, eyapofated and other fruit pro-
ducts Of nearly 100000.
"In 1918 New York forced Wash
ington bick Is second place, but in
19l9. Wsshnotbn forged ahead, again
distancing N former competitors with
