tencing a weeping stock crook to pris- on, Judge Alfred J. Talley, in General sessions, remarked:
 "'There is much that might be said about the pain this conviction has caused you and there is much that might be said about the number of per sons swindled out of their money by being induced to invest in stocks like yours.
 "'If persons engaged in swindling residents of this city could be made to understand what this conviction means to you our city would be a safer place for persons who have savings
 "So long as otherwise intelligent men and women will buy stocks about which they know nothing from sales men of whom they know less, just so long will there be crooked stocks and crooks to sell them.
 Nc reputable concern can afford to peddle it's stock from door to door. No legitimate concern can pay stock hawkers huge commissions. No con servative concern will pay the patent medicine rates demanded by the few newspapers that will take this class of advertising. No respectable concern will ask you to keep away from your banker.

 Good stocks are to be had. Safe and sound investments are always ob- tainable, but care should be exercised. So let us again urge that before buy ing stocks from plausible strangers you discuss the subject with-nOt neces- sarily this bank, but any Florida bank. Just as a jeweler knows a faulty dia- mond, banker knows faulty stock.
 If you prefer not to interview oth- CTS, you might take measure of your duplicity and simplicity by the deegree of allurement with which you view the glitter of a stock certificate Roger Babson last week had something to say about the reckless expenditure of America's young people. His remarks might well be extended to the idiotic losses of our easily hypnotised full grown humans"

COMMON CLAY
 AT JEFFERSON
Harvard Prize Play To Be Presented This
 Week

Common Clay" hailed as one of the most absorbing dramas of the decade, will be the offering of the All-Star lief ferson Players this week. After three weeks of delightful comedies, the man. agement responded to numerous re- quests to produce a dramatic offering, and Common Clay," the Harvard prize play, was chosen.
 It is a particularly happy choice, be- cause it is of the stuff which has true dramatic appeal. It is one of the great est triumphs of Jane Cowl, and very much like her other famous success, within The Law" The production that will be put on here will rank with any the New York stage has known.
 The role of Ellen, the principal one in the play, provides Miss Kathleen Comegys with one of her greatest op- portunities. Refreshingly charming in light comedy roles, Miss Comegys has a great reputation for more intenSe characterization and in Common Clay" she finds a vehicle for this expression of her talent J. Glynn MacFarlane is also featured in a strong part. The remainder of the talented company has been congenially cast.

THE SPEECH

Every voter in Galatin county would have benefited could
he have heard what Governor Dixon had to say Monday night
upon the way the states affairs have been run for the past
four years.
He spoke for nearly three hours, taking his audience entirely
through the process by which the state derives it's revenue and
eXpends it, following the tax dollar from the pocket of the citizen
until it again returns to circulation via a state warrant.
He showed where the money comes from and where it goes,
and in a calm, dispassiOnate manner refuted every charge brought
by the mining and waterpower interests through their subsidized
newspapers and their s~ycophantic speI-binders throughout the
state.
He exploded the allegation that he is seeking more taxes to
Squander." He pointed out quite clearly that the mines are not
paying their share as compared with farming, mercantile, live
stock and banking interests and that the object of the proposed
metal mines tax is to shift the burden rather than to increase it.
No one wants to see the great mining industry of Montana
crippled, but it must be brought to realize the fact that it is not
the only great interest in this state and can no longer expect
to receive special favors.
And the only way the people of Montana can expect to re-
ceIve a square deal is by re-electing Governor Dixon and the entire
republican state ticket and by approving the metal mines tax.
This is the last round of the fight that has been waged by
Governor Dixon in behalf of the people of Montana for the past
four years. The governor is still going strong, With his enemies
against the ropes.
The people of Montana will not desert him now with victory
in sight.

mining industry does not even bear it's fair share of the education
of the children in their own mining counties, to say nothing of
giving us help in educating ours.
The lands that we have donated to the cause of education
in Butte are a permanent resource. The copper mining industry
in its very nature lis one that exhausts itself in time by the removal
for private profit of the limited ore supplies that once belonged
to the nation as a whole.
The demand that the metal mines pay a production tax the
school fund of the state is fair and just. No argument with any
validity can be offered against that demand.
The struggle to maintain desirable school standards in the
country districts and in the small towns of the state for the past
ten years has been a terrific one and localities that could i'll afford
the burden have taxed themselves cruelty at times that the schools
should not suffer. 1t is time that this great tax lodging industry
were made to fall in line and assume it's share of the great
educational task of the people of this state-Chinook Opinion.

very much about the mining game. But it does know that a net
