RELIEF BILL
DEFENDED BY DAVIS
STATE COMMISSIONER WRITES
OPEN LETTER TO MINI.
CONGRESSMAN
(Great Falls Tribune)

In defense of the McNary-Haugen
agricultural relief bill now before
congress and replying to an open let
ter written recently by Congressman
Sydney Anderson of Minnesota, at
lacking the bill, an open letter has
been sent to Congressman Anderson
by Chester C. Davis, Montana COM
missioner of agriculture, which was
given publicity Monday.
In order to bring his defense of
the bill to the attention of the SEN
ators and congressman in Washing
ton 500 copies were sent by Mr..
Davis to Washington for distribu-
ton among the legislators. Mr..
Davis recently returned from Wash
ington after having spent about six
weeks there in the interest of this
and other measures for the relief
Of the wheat growers .
Urges Taking "Next Step"
In his letter which consists of six
pages of typewriter argument in
behalf of the McNary-Haugen bill,
Mr.. Davis wrote:
az cannot refrain from calling
your attention to the fact that you
have voted for laws giving industry
the highest protection under a tariff
giving artificial support to transpor-
tation and to labor; and that as pres
ident of the wheat council of the
United States you recommended an
increase in the tariff on wheat which
has since been made.
"In view of these facts may I ask
you this question: are you willing
to take the next logical step and vote
to make this protection effective for
the producer of crops which normal
ly can have no real benefits from a
tariff, or do you wish these agricul-
tural tariff schedules to stand as
governmental fiction which for the
most part they are?
"You distributed copies of your
open letter, I am told, to each mem
Der of congress, which would seem
to indicate active opposition to the
bill. 1t is pertinent to inquire what
remedy you have to suggest for the
existing bad condition. In your
statement to the production commit
tee of the wheat council of the U. S.
at Chicago on November IL you in
Dictated your remedy to be a reduc-
ton in production to the point where
domestic demand would absorb all
we grow. The committee qualified
recommendation by approving
the reduction as fast as profitable al
tentative crops can be introduced.
In your statement, also, you agreed
with the advocates of the McNary-
Haugen bill as to one of the causes
Of the present difficulty when you

stated moreover, so long as we pro-
duce a surplus our domestic price is
generally a reflection of the world
market price I believe the farmers
of the United States would be inter
ested to have you tell them what
profitable alternative crops to turn
to.
Fixed Debts Pressing
"The cattle dollar is the lowest of
any of the basic commodities men
toned in this bill; the hog dollar is
next and the wheat dollar is next.
You can hardly recommend that the
farmer shift from wheat to the form
of production that finds its way to
market in cattle or hogs. The press
ing fixed debt on the land and the
chattels of the farmers demands that
they must produce or go under. You
have assumed the responsibility of
telling them to stop wheat produc-
ton and the duty devolves upon you
to indicate the form of production
that shall take its place. Perhaps
you are one of those who wish the
wheat farmers and the hog farmers
to turn to butter fat as a major cash
crop.
Gin conclusion may I suggest this
thought: after hundreds of thous-
ands of farm families have been
eliminated while the forces work out
the end you advocate = reduced
production - and profitable price
for farm products has been reestab-
by what you call natural eco
nomic laws, you must not lose sight
of the fact that you have then set
forces in motion that stimulate pro-
duction again. In other words, it
does not make any difference what
force it is that establishes a profit
able price, the effect on acreage is
the same. The remedy you advocate
in economics is that of the old style
leach whose treatment for diseased
condition was to bleed the patient;
The advocates of the McNary-Haugen
bill on the other hand believe it is
The duty of men in positions of re-
'ponsibility like yours to use the in
diligence they are endowed with to
prevent economic cruelties."

Star Club Fair
Held Thursday
Very Successful

The Star Club Fair was certainly a
great success. The hall was most at
tractive with its eight booths in the
five star colors of blue, yellow, white,
green and red. At the left as one en-
tered the hall was the ice cream booth
In charge of Mrs. Norman Gray, as
sisted by Mrs. Fred Warehouse, Mrs.
Nellie Talhouse and Mrs Fanny Pay
son. At the sides of this booth were
two large cones In the star colors, and
along the top was a row of smaller
cones. The body Of the booth was blue
and white. This was q very popular
booth with both young and old.
Next as one made the circuit Of the
hall came the candy booth. This also
had the i've colors, but the main effect
was Of red and yellow. There were red
rosettes with yellow centers adjoining
the top, and at each end red boxes con-
tanning gay paper roses. The effect
Was striking and attractive. In charge
were Miss Mildred Heald, Mrs. Lura

and remarks by Rev. H. l. Skillin,
completed the program.
Rev. Mr.. Leigh's address was ex-
tremely interesting and his clear,
forceful manner OF speaking lent
conviction to his remarks. He said
that the pressing need or the hour
was not so many new laws, as 1t was
the enforcement of our present laws.
The question cannot be handled with
feebleness nor with kid gloves. We
need in the White House messengers
that can speak with authority on this
subject, and a voice that can be
heard in every hamlet calling to the
defence of this great question. We
need Federal officers who are both
executive and judicial, and we need

who are Prohibitionists at heart. and
who will enforce the laws. Central

Mr.. Leigh went on to talk on the
local conditions in regard to law en-
forcement, completing an address
both instructive and inspiring.

New Booths for Voting
At Election Time

The voters in Precinct 3 at the
election Tuesday were surprised and
still more pleased by the improve

there was no room to spare either
inside or outside Of the rail. only the

voting. the board of registration &C.

booth Is complete in itself and can

having to draw any nails or other
fastenings. The booths were on the
south side OF the room In front OF
the window. and there was no trouble
on account Of lack CT light. as there
was with the old ones in the other
room. When the election was done
IL was only a matter Of a few min
utes to fold the boothc and take them
away. Precinct is the only other one
that has similar booths, but all of
the voting places will be supplied
with them as soon as convenient, Mr..
