determine if such program to pre-
serve the peace of the world is ac-
ceptable to rank and file of the peo-
ple who dread war and must bear
its burdens. A full month will be
allowed for this vote.
Your vote may be sent direct to
the address given on the coupon or
if may be deposited iii a ballot box

LET'S MAKE A NOISE

What's the matter with Montana?
Some figures of production just came
to the writer's attention that if
broadcasted to the world, might
wake up some Of the eastern SOM
nambulists who still think Montana's
inhabitants are either cow boys or
Indians. In 1923 Montana produced
$176, 1918, 100000 in farm products
and livestock. Copper, zinc, lead
and silver $58, 675,QOO. Coal, oil
and lumber, S27.OOO,OOO or a new
wealth of $435.OO for every man,
woman. and child in the state. She
has a total production of S262,19O,-
600. If I was running that state,
I'd take about two million of that
262 for a publicity brass band and
believe me, I'd show the world we
were some pumpkins. The North
west is the real conner, but it is go
ing to take different publicity than
the kind we have been getting to
put her on the map. We should de-
clare open season with a good bounty
for the scalps of calamity howlers
and pension boosters.
The world is looking for the OPP
portunities we have to offer, but
don't know the real facts about us

The only possible pathway to inter
national agreement with reference to
these complicated and difficult fac
tors is through mutual counsel and
cooperation which the plan selected
contemplates. 1t Is therefore the
unanimous opinion of the Jury that
of the 22,165 plans submitted, Plan
Number 1869 is "the best practicable
plan by which the United States may
cooperate with other nations to
achieve and preserve the peace of the
world"
1t is the unanimous hope of the jury
that the first fruit of the mutual coun-
sci and cooperation among the nations
which will result from the adoption Of
the plan selected will be a general
prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of all materials of war.

The United States would assume no obligations under Article x

Covenant, or in its amended form as now proposed, unless in any

These plans come from every group
in American life. Some are obviously
from lifelong students of history and
international law. Some are from per
sons who have studied little, but who
have themselves seen and felt the
horror of war-or who are even now
living out its tragedy.
But among them all are these dom
inant currents: that, if war is hon
estly to be prevented, there must be
a face-about on the part of the nations
in their attitude toward it; that by
some progressive agreement the man
ufacture and purchase of the NUM-
tions of a must be limited or stop
ped; that while no political mechan-
ism alone will insure cooperation
among the nations, there must be
some machinery of cooperation if the
will to cooperate is to be made effec-
tive; that mutual counsel among the
nations is the real hope for bringing
about the disavowal of war by the
open avowal of its real causes and
open discussion of them; and finally
that there must be some means of
defining, recording. interpreting and
developing the law Of nations.

The American Peace Award brought forth 22,165 plans

the composite work of organizations, universities, etc. a single

"Spades Are Spades"
And Miles Are Miles

AS many people will remember, there was consider
able agitation in the county campaign of 1922 over the
question Of economy in conducting the county's business.
It was suggested and in some cases openly asserted that
the county officials then in office were not exercising the
greatest economy possible, and the famous "Clean House"
ticket made their fight on an economy platform.
Saves County More Than He Spends
The friends of the old guard, or the old gang, as they
were sometimes called, poob-poohed the economy idea and
made light Of the charge of waste and mismanagement
The contest was especially sharp in the office Of sheriff
and it was broadly limited by his opponents that John
Anderson would prove an expensive official.
So there has been unusual interest in the monthly
statements of comparative expense in the office of sheriff
for the past year and the year 1922. Month after
month the statements have shown large savings to the
county, especially in the item of mileage. Many have
wondered what the total would be, and below is the ans
wer-$8,891.97. During his first year Mr.. Anderson saved
81, 726 more than he spent.
Around the World In One Year
Business was surely good during the last year in office
of MI. Andersons predecessor, for during that time it cost
the county $7,41876 for mileage. If this was charged at
rs cents a mile the sheriff and deputies must have travel
ed over $4,000 miles, or once around the world and 1000
miles on the second lap. The itemized comparative state
