ACTION UNDECIDED

According to local officials Of the
United States District court, a re-
mittitur will be sent from the circuit
court of appeals to the clerk of the
U. S. district court at Helena, where
the files of the case are now held, and
then a commitment will be issued for
Noble and Peters which will be given
to the United States marshal for SER
vice. They are now. at liberty under
bonds of $4,000 each,
BOTH REFUSE COMMENT
Attorney j. w. Speer cf Great
Falls, who represented Noble at the
trial and who handled both cases be-
fore the court of appeals, stated Mon
day night that he had received no
word from San Francisco, but that he
understood the decision was handed
down Monday. Whether any further
action would be taken by his client,
Attorney Speer would not say, and he
refuse Monday night to make any
comment on the decision of the court
of appeals.
Information was received from
Judge Henry C. Smith in Helena, who
represented Peters, and he stated that
he was of the opinion that the matter
would rest as it was, that he had not
looked into the question but did not
believe any further appeal was avail
able.
BANKERS FINALLY
MUST DON STRIPES
Thus finally, two out of Montana's
host Of hi-jacl1ing bankers must go to
the pen and don the stripes.
Montana has probably the worst
banking laws of any state in the
Union and coterie of perhaps the
crOokedest bankers congregated in
one state in the Union.
Bank Examiner Shelton, Gov. Dix
on's manager of the State Banking
Department, which department has a
record Of skClduggery that reeks,
which man was himself indicted for
crooked work, escaped the pen only
because he himself had seen to it that
all of the criminal banking laws in
the State was repealed by the 18th
Legislature session Of the legislature.
but the Great Falls bankers must 90
to the pen in spite of Mr.. Skeletons
helping hand, they being national
bankers.
There are a lot more of banker
crooks in this state who will get trips
before the banking situation in Mon
tana is cleaned up.

Senator Johnson
Is Not Available
To Our Reporter

Hiram johnson rested in the sump-
tous Drake Hotel last evening before
attending the two mass meetings ar
ranged for him in this city.
The Daily Worker was anxious to
give Senator Johnson an opportunity
to answer the questions put to him
in Fridays issue, so a reporter was
sent to interview him.
He called Mr.. Johnson's room and
was informed that the senator would
be available in fifteen minutes. He
was there on the dot, but was told
Johnson would see newspapermen in
half an hour.
"Who are you FROM" came the
query from the senator's room.
II am from the Daily Worker, a
working class paper" was the reply.
Half an hour later our reporter
was back, but the only thing he got
was this: "Sorry as the devil, old
man, but Mr.. Johnson is not seeing
anybody today. l would suggest that
you call tomorrow morning" So
that's that.

RICH IN CANADA
ALSO IN FAVOR
OF TAX SLASH
Use Same Arguments as
American FLUTES

OTTAWA.-The Dominion gov
eminent is getting lots of advice
from the moneyed people these days
to reduce the taxes on income. One
of the arguments being used is that
Canada cannot afford to have higher
taxes on income than has the United
States, otherwise capital will leave
Canada for the United States.
This argument was used by Sir
Edmund Walker, president, Canadian
Bank Of Commerce, one of the three
largest banks in Canada. He re-
ferred to the tax on income as "the
most burdensome of all the new war
taxes and asserted that heavy in
come taxes on the few was injur-
ing the country by checking invest
ment in industrial enterprise,
A similar plea has been put for
ward by Sir Joseph Flaveile, former
ly a big figure in the packing in
dustry. He admitted that there was
a certain amount of justice that
those who came thru the war and
retained their holdings should pay
on what they hold. "But," he added,
"the gifts and initiative and qualif-
cations to set enterprise in motion
are centered in a comparatively small
section Of the people," and this
"small section" should, he urged, be
given real encouragement to 60 on.

TROTSKY MERELY ILL,
NOT ARRESTED, SAYS
REPLY OF MOSCOW

Conflicting reports as to the
whereabouts Of Leon Trotsky,
Soviet War Minister, are the basis
of the runners of his arrest.
TrOtsky is in bad health and a two
months leave of absence has been
granted him. Attempts Of foreign
correspondents to locate him have
resulted in his being reported as
being at his home near Moscow,
in the Caucasus and at Juge in
the Crimea.
Some of the rumors state that
he has resigned all Of his posts
including that of war minister to
which he has been succeeded by
Leo Kamenev, his brOther-in-law
with General Budenny occupying
the position of commander-in-ch chief
of the Red Army.
The conflicting reports recall the
dozens of canards circulated at
various times during the past six
years in which TrOtsky had arrest
ed Lenin or Lenin arrested TrOts-
ky as the case might be.
Moscow officially brands the
news of. his arrest as a propa-
gandist lie.

its mark in at least one direction.
One Frederick Monsen CT California
came here to speak last year under
the auspices Of the public museum.
Tho booked to lecture on science
his theme was hundredpercentism.
His attack upon socialism so pleased
the reactionaries that he was slipped
into the list Of speakers again this
year. On Jan. he held forth on
the menace of labor unions.
Now the public museum board, by
unanimous vote, has served notice
on lecturers appearing under mu-
scum auspices that they will be
dropped from the public lecture
course if they continue to inject
political and economic propaganda
into their lectures on science. Mon
sen has been the only offender in

VERY BASHFUL
GIVING VIEWS
Bankers Kisses Rifle FarmGl
Senator Of Minnesota
tBy The Federated Press)


WASHINGTON. - Magnus
Johnson, Farmer-Labor senator
from Minnesota, assures The
Federated Press that there is
no possibility of any support
for Coolidge among progress
sive forces in the Northwest in
1924. Senator Shipstead, Sena-
tor Frazier, of North Dakota,
and Senator Brookhart, of
Iowa, take the same position.
Magnus Johnson says that it
did not require the kissing he
received from the Pennsylvania
bankers when he attacked the Mel
lon tax plan at their Philadelphia
banquet, to make him feel that the
standpatters are losing all popular
sympathy.
American farmers are in des-
perate need" he said, land they
are on the road to political and
economic self-defense."
He wants to have the Eseh-Cum-
minis act repealed, the water
squeezed out of railroad vaIua-
tions in order that lower freight
rates may be honestly and per-
manently established, and governs
ment ownership of railroads
achieved through purchase Of the
roads at this honest valuation.
! SYrtsxes on Iars.s isso1es sk2pid
/ be hign, he argues, while no n
come tax should be paid by per-
sons having only $500 income.
Hydro-electric power development,
with super-power produced by steam
plants at the mouth of the mines, he
declares, should be publicly owned
and administered. Ontario's public
ownership plan should be adopted in
the United States This would cut
the cost Of electric light, heat and
power in half, and would add great
ly to the comfort of people every
where.
Wants Russ Recognition.
Johnson of Minnesota, stands with
Borah for recognition of Russia,
driving of the French from the Ruhr
thru pressure for payment Of their
debt to the American people, and
finally for cooperation with the La
Dor cabinet in Britain for restoring
peace and trade in Europe and thru
out the world.
As one of the first steps toward
restoring foreign markets for Amer
lean farm products, he urges the
enactment of the Norris-Sinclair bill.
Under this measure, farmers would
get fair price for their grain, and
the government corporation would
store or export the surplus according
to world needs. Loans of grain to
foreign nations would enable ther
the sooner to resume industrial pro-
duction and so become able to buy
our crops.

Charges Workers Rule viii
Bring Disaster

Especial to The Daily Worker)
LONDON-The split in the
ranks of the Liberal party,
caused by the inevitability Of
Labor government, is best
shown by statements of the
leaders of the two wings.
Winston Churchill, aggres-
sive foe of Soviet Rule in Rus
STA, in definitely aligning him
self and following with the
Tories, said:
'"The enforcement in Office
of a Socialist government will
be a serious national misfor-
tune, such as has usually be-
fallen great states only on the
morrow of defeat in war"
Lord Asquith, on the other
hand, announces that cit is inn
possible for any member to
withhold his support from the
Labor Party's amendment to the
kings address (The no confidence
motion.)
Churchill Bitter
ChurchilPs statement is taken to
mean that from his section of the
Liberal porty, the Laborites, will en-
counter unrelenting opposition, not
only to their amendment, but for
their entire program after they are
~, Office.
The foreign policy of the Labor
party is the subject of much specu-
lation on the part of all classes.
This with the impending railway
strike, divides public attention. The
Labor party leaders are attempting
to settle or postpone the strike, but
there is as yet little prospect that
their efforts will be successful. Fail
ure to avert the walkout of the rail-
waymen would mean that the Labor
party would take office, while ma
tional crisis of major Importance was
in existence.
J. H. Thomas, speaking for the
Labor party on the question of its
foreign policy, particularly as re-
lating to France, said that his party
desired to maintain friendly rela-
lions with the French government.
eve have been asked how we are
going to deal yith France" said
Thomas. eve do not desire a break
with France nor do we desire any
talk of war with France"
Russ Recognition Soon
]. r. Clynes has reiterated his
previous statement that one of the
first acts of the Labor government
will be to recognize Soviet Russia
and it's immediate proposal following
the organization of government
will occasion no surprise.
There is some consolation being
derived by the Tories from the be-
lief that in the event Of war with
France, the Labor party could be
depended upon to rally the workers
for military service better than it
could be done either by a Liberal
or Tory government.
]. r. Clynes moved the Labor
amendment to the kings speech. 1t
was couched in simple terms and he
followed it with speech outlining
the failures of the Baldwin govern
ment-
Indicts Baldwin Regime
He charged the Baldwin govern
nent with having antagonized Russia,
France and America; of having
failed TO relieve the unemployment
situation or to attempt to do so. He
intimated that the Labor party would
advocate a policy of transfer Of
population" from one part of the
empire to another, but carefully
avoided mention Of the word emigra-
ton.

Lawn.

Like lawn? Then, as you linger at
the 'white-goods" counter, you may
decide that you'd like to buy it,
In some of it's many varieties, for all
the summertime sundries, from lin
gerie and lovely gowns to Innings.
For lawn, from the very sound OF
its name to the finished fr9ck, the
summer girl loves to don, and it
is one of the first and finest of hot
weather fabrics. And there's not only
a lawn for every purpose. but for
every taste and for every pocket
book
Lawn probably gets it's name from
the town OF Laon, France However,
some authorities contend that the
term is derived from the French name
for the fabric linon, "lin," meaning
fax or linen. Others say the name
has its origin in the fact that the
cloth was formerly put out on the
lawn, instead of on coarse grass, 10
dry. And, in fact, an early form of
the word was "1awnd," probably due
to an adaptation of 'laund," mean
ing lawn.
Lawn is a sheer cotton material,
quite thin and usually rather stiff.
1t is comparatively inexpensive, and

Plant Life in
District of Columbia

Wild Blue PhIox. PhIox divaricata.
Those wanderlusters who wander
ed up along the canal previous to this
years flood were doubtless attracted
by the prevalence of the wild blue
phlox. 1t is very beautiful little
flower. especially handsome in mass; !;
and thereby subject for ruthless
plunder at the hands of the thought
less flower gatherer. 1t has a long
Towering period. from April to June.
This wild phlox is of interest not
only because of it's beauty. but also
because it is from a close relative
of the Southwest that those most
snowy of garden phloxes have been
derived-the Phlox Drummondii.
Though North America is the home
there being very few native else
where in the world. it remained for
the European horticulturists to develop
our brilliant garden varieties. The
PhloX Drummondii are named after
a Mr.. Drummond. a plant collector
He sent the seeds of the original
Texan wild species to England in 1885,
and here they were developed into
their present size and colors. Many
will be interested to know that this
botanist was d kinsman of the well
known theologian, DR.. Drummond,
author of Natural Law in the Spir-
itual World and The Ascent of
Man"
The wild blue phlox is found from
Eastern Canada to Florida, west to
Minnesota, usually in moist rocky
woodlands. 1t grows from nine to
eighteen inches high, and the pale
lilac to nearly white flowers are in
rather loose, terminal clusters. They
are slightly fragrant. The corolla is
nf ft-n lot H{al,
notched at the end and united at the
center into a slender tube. The word
phlox, by the way, is from the Greek
word for flame, referring to their
brilliant colors
We are informed by the Wild Flow
er Preservation Society that this flow
er is badly in need of protection: that
is, consideration. 1t makes an at
tractive cut flower and SO is in dang
er of determination. We are asked
not to pick it at all, that it may not
disappear entirely from this vicinity.
