Gallatin All Livestock Judging
Team Leaves for Big Ex-
position at Portland

With high hopes Of "bringin' home
the bacon" Gallatin county's Fourth
livestock judging team and its
coach, Walter L. Mecklenburg, left
Thursday for Portland, Ore, where on
Saturday it will compete with the best
teams from all the western states at
the Pacific international exposition.
The members Of the team are Law
renee Moore, of Bozeman; Carl Slim
son, of Belgrade, and Robert Over
street, of S~alesville. They constitute
the champion team On the lines of
the Northern Pacific in Montana, and
as such are going to the Portland ex-
position as the guests of that road.
All of these boys have excellent
records in livestock judging. Moore
and Overstreet were members of the
Gallatin county team that won first
honors at the Midland Empire fair in
September, and Stimson was a mem

TARIFF IS VITAL
TO PROSPERITY OF
STATES FARMERS

Lacking a real issue, Democratic
speakers in the present congressional
campaign have sunk to their old low
level Of c~ondemning the protective
tariff as a curse to mankind. In sub
stance they say the condition Of the
farmer is not ideal, therefore the pro-
tective Republican tariff act Of 1922
is a failure. But they do not tell how
the sheep industry in Montana was
destroyed in the nineties as the re-
suit Of the free trade tariff act Of
the Cleveland administration.
In 1892 Montana had 100000 head
Of sheep. With the removal Of the
protective tariff the wool market
dropped to eve cents a pound, and
wethers sold for as low as $1.4O a
head. The sheep were of necessity
sold off at a sacrifice, and the sheen
men went broke. The situation was
nearly as bad when the Republicans
regained control Of affairs at Wash
ington in 1921. Now, with ample
protection, the sheep industry in Mon
tana is settling back to its old emf
hence. There are about 2,5OO,OOO
sheep in the state, and the number is
steadily increasing. It is estimated
that this year the industry will bring
$24,OOO,OOO new wealth to Montana.
What is true Of sheep and wool ap-
plies to many other staple Montana
products. A protective tariff, which
can be secured only through the Re-
publican party, has been a leading
factor IN bringing to Montana the
prosperity which is becoming more
general all the time. The tariff keeps
the factories Of America running. and
the factories and their industrial an
ployes consume 90 per cent of the
farm products Of the country. To
take this exclusive and closed market
away from the home producer would
be to submit him to world competi-
ton, which he could not withstand
and at the same time maintain an
American standard Of living for HIM
self and family.
A farm problem exists, but It would
be made immeasurably worse instead
Of improved by the tearing down Of
the home markss through removal Of
the protective tariff act Of 1922. The
farm problem win be solved, and in a
sound, constructive, Republican,
American way. To aid in the con
structive solution Of remaining prob
lens the First Montana district should
send Ronald Higgins to congress. Ha
and Leavitt would make a team n
which Montana could take just pride

43 PER CENT OF
WHEAT MARKETED
Average Price 25 Cents Under
That of Last Year, But Better
Than 5-Year Average

Observation-Disclosures farmers have
marketed this seasons wheat crop
freely, according to estimates of pri-
mary movement made by the United
States division of crop estimates in
cooperation with the state depart
ment of agriculture.
According to the survey As per
cent, or 1857, 1000 bushels of the
1926 crop of all wheat was marketed
by farmers by Oct. 1. This movement
compares with 14,532,O00 bushels, OF
az per cent, of the 1925 crop mar
keted by October 1, 1925 and 1885,
900 bushels, or % per cent, of the
average production Of the past five
years that has left the farm by Oc-
tober 1
The increased primary movement
of this season reflects the larger crop
compared with last year, especially
in case of winter wheat, which was
almost double the short 1925 crop
The spring wheat crop, according &c
the official state-federal October es-
innate, was 38,393,OO0 compared with
31,773,000 in 1925 and the five veal
average production of 81, 043, 900 bush,
els.
The average price for wheat re.
ceived by Montana farmers as re.
ported on September Is, this year
was SLIT. While lower than the av
erage of September Is, 1925, which
was SLAP, this price is higher thar
that of September, 1924, which wa
$1.04 and the average on Septembe-
Is from 1921. to 1924, of $1.O5.

Why the u. S. Is in the PHILIPPINES

Sulu archipelago, and turning a pa
triotic penny into an even more pa
triotic dollar by developing immense
rubber plantations to break the Brit
ish monopoly.
GO we arrive at what is known as
~ the Bacon Bill in tie U. S. Con-
gress, which would outwit the vigil
liant Philippine legislature, by cutting
the Moro country loose from Filipino
rule and establishing a rather brass
faced dictatorship OF American ofic-
ers over the territory, naturally con-
ducive to giving the American Rub
Der trust anything its heart desires.
Colonel Thompson remarks that:
"The success of the Basilan rubber
planters convinces me that a rubber
industry could be developed in the
Philippines which would make the
United States independent of any for
eign rubber control and keep pace
with the automobile tires and other
rubber goods required by the Ameri-
can people"
THERE are 100000 acres in Min
4 danao and Basilan, suitable for rub
Der growing. And Colonel Thompson
observes further that:
Filipino labor is said to be more
and efficient than labor in
the Middle West. am much impress
ed with their physical vigor, skin and
willingness to work. What is needed
Is capital"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-10-16

What can be done with the boon OF
capital is explained by J.. W. Strong.
who introduced Para rubber cullVa-
ton at Isabella In 1905 and Is now
manager Of the American Rubber COM
pany. He told Colonel Thompson that
the net profit last year from nearly
1000 acres of cultivated rubber and
soma 225,00O trees, was 16 per cent
on the investment. A few years of
that would pay of the entire original
capital charge and the rest Is clear
velvet. It probably has done this for
this plantation already.
Altho the Moros and Filipinos are
supposed, in the American newspa-
pers at least, to be at swords points
at each other, Mr.. Strong remarked
that the workers Of both races work
peaceably together" and what is more
to the point, they work for 60 cents a
day.
WITH profits such as this in view,
W the American capitalists are pre-
pared to save the Moros from the
Filipinos" or even to save the Moros
from themselves. So as a counter
move to the Filipino demand for indie
pendence we are hearing chorus of
morally righteous editorials in the
American capitalist press that the U.
$. must not desert the Moros, must
protect the Moros, the dear little
Moros. from the tyranny of the Flip
mos.

of General WOODY, sugar lands, rice
paddles, gold mines, coal mines and
the lord knows what else. Then, in
addition, they recently discovered that
Mindanao, in Moro-land, was an excel
lent place to grow rubber.
1t happens that British capitalists
caught the Yankees asleep at the
switch and got monopoly on rubber
before the Americans woke up. With
the result that American automobile
owners are paying the British war
debt to the United States by the way
OF the British corner on the rubber

the overwhelming demands for indie

who are becoming little incredulous
Of Yankee promises.
There is a law in the Philippines
that no corporation can own more
than $500 acres Of land. For some
reason or another, Bill Tafts supreme
court has never been able to declare
that law unconstitutional. And 1t now

Attic he always went to bed at
very advanced hour. he was neYerthe-
less always up between eight and
nine o'clock in the morning, took his
black coffee, read his papers, and
then went into his study where he
worked until two or three o'clock the
next morning. He interrupted him
self only long. enuf to take his meals
and OF evenings, when the weather
permitted, to take a walk to Hamp-
stead Heath; during the day he slept
two or three hours on his couch. In
his youth he was in the habit of stay
ing awake whole nights at his work.
Working had become a passion with
Marx; it so absorbed him that he of
ten forgot to eat because Of 1t. It was
not seldom that they had to call him
repeatedly for meals before he came
down to the dining room; and scarce
ly had he eaten his last bite when he
was off to his room again. He was a
very poor eater and even suffered
from want of appetite which he tried
to overcome by eating highly sailed
foods, ham, soaked fish, cavair and
pickles. His stomach had to pay for
the colossal activity OF his BRAIN He
sacrificed his entire body to his brain;
thinking was his highest pleasure. 1

expression-his master of philosophy
during his youth: Even the criminal
Thought Of villain is grander and lof-
tier than the wonders OF heaven"
His body must undoubtedly have
been a powerful constitution to be
able to bear such an unusual manner
OF living and such exhausting spirit
ual labor. And, in fact, he was very
powerful; his height was above medi-
UNI, his shoulders were broad, his
chest well developed, his limbs well
proportional altho his spinal column
was somewhat too long in comparison
with his legs, as is often to be found
in the Jewish race. Had he partici-
pated in gymnastics great daaI Ia
his youth, he would have become an
extremely powerful man. The only
exercise which he had practiced regu-
larly was walking; he could tramp for
hours, chattering and smoking or climb
hills without feeling the slightest IA
tigue. One can assert that he worked
walking in his study; he sat down
only at short intervals in order to
write down what he had thought out
as he walked. He also liked to chat
ter very much while walking, stop
ping from time to time as the dis
cussion became lively or the CONVEX
