A MATTER OF JUSTICE

WASHINGTON, D. Cone of the
bills passed by the house this week
was sponsored and guided through by
Representative A. Piatt Andrew, Re-
publican. It provided that if the
government made Overpayment to a
man in service during the war, and
there was no evidence Of fraud or
guilty knowledge Of the overpayment
by the veteran, the government shall
not attempt to obtain redress by
legal steps. Congressman Andrews
opinion is that in practically all such
cases the veterans receiving the mon
ey considered it their just due, and
promptly spent it or disposed Of 1t
in some other way. Many of these
men would be seriously embarrassed
if called upon to repay the govern
ment. After Congressman Andrews

WHITTIER AMERICA?

England is face to face with the inevitable
consequences of government by compromise on
fundamental principles.
The red flag has been waving defiantly in En-
gland for years. Every effort to prevent the
organization of forces and the suppression of pro-
paganda openly seeking the destruction of govern
ment has been met with the cry that this would
interfere with "free speech" The British people
have been told, as the American people are told,
that to surpass agitation in favor of the violent
overthrow of government would only tend to in
crease the danger of revolution.
This tempOrizing, compromising policy has had
it's natural result in the infection Of the honest
British labor movement with radicalism, COM
munism, and the virus Of revolt. For a few days
the British government faced a situation that
threatened its very existence, and the danger is
not yet entirely past,
The way to meet revolutionary radicalism is
not by feeding it, but by fighting it; not by COM
promising with and catering to it, but by using
the power Of government to stop it. Any cam
paign which has as its announced objective the
overthrow of government by violence should be
promptly suppressed. That, on the part Of any
government, is only following the law Of self
preservation.
The people Of this country must arouse them
selves to the dangers of this situation and find
means to prevent this republic from ever being
brought face to face with the challenge Of red
radicalism under conditions making q vast loss
of life and property certain. They should retire
from public life not only the open sympathizers
with revolutionary radicalism, but the secret
sympathizers, and the cOwardly politicians who

A PERTINENT QUESTION.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Miss Hell
ena Maloney, Of BrOOkline, although
she wrote perhaps a pert letter to
the president, must be credited with
having also written a pertinent one
when she inquired as to why girls
were not admitted to the training
camps. It is worth noting that in
this case the president did net at
tempt to reply to the BrOOkline girl,
but turned the letter over to Major
General Davis, who replied that unde'
the law unfortunately, whatever his
own ambitions, the appropriations
were made only for the training of
men. The value of Miss Maloney's
letter is twO-fold; first, it calls at
tentiOn to the fact of the right Of a
substantial group Of cur ciizens to
equal opportunities Of physical train
ing which is given to another group.
It's pertness can also be forgiven be-
cause it will make plain to those
who read it that after all there is a
strong, healthy body Of young WON
anhOOd which he's so far escaped the
pacifist tendency of the times and
is not only anxious but prepared to
do its share.

DEBATE ON FARM BILL.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congres-
sional leaders anticipate that there
will be at least a full week Of debate
before q vote is reached on the ag-
ricultural bills before the house. 4
week is none too long for a discus
sion Of these problems provided the
discussions are fair, honest and above
beard, and are based on an earnest
desire to improve the tilling of fields
instead of the strengthening OF their
political fences. 1t is unfortunate that
q debate of such Importance comes
in advance of a general congressional
election. Politicians are but men, and
all men are human, and the tempta'
ton therefore to talk and vote with
an idea of securing the greatest crop
of political votes, while regrettable, is
most natural.
The call of the farmers for coop
Grafton is genuine. The only dispute
apparently is as to the method TO
be employed. Congressman who seek
really to build for the future accord
ingly will do well to see that they
do not adopt any position in support
Of measures economically unsOund
and certain to end in final disaster
like the McNary-Haugan bill, and
thus block the way for the enactment
of the Tincher bill which, while faI
from perfect, is a long forward ster
and in the right direction.

REVISE LAWS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The proper
development Of the natural and min
eral resources Of our country is so
vital a factor in u American life
that the feeling is growing, the time
is at hand, if it has not already ar
rived, when the laws relative to the
control and management, particular
ly Of the mineral areas, should be
.liberalized In some instances and
d~rastically strengthened in others.
Adventures in the mineral field are
steadily becoming more expensive and
elaborate. The necessary increase in
the investment costs accordingly, has
made it Of the utmost Importance 50

may be encouraged, that those who
are willing to embark their dollars
and brains should at least before
starting have available a clear under
standing not only Of their rights and
privileges but Of the necessary gov

"wildcatter," the "grub-staker' and
the prospector will profit by official
interpretations Of the laws as they
stand.

entirely from the scene, It is to b'
hoped that a real monumental me,

'FIXIN' UP'' MAIN STREET

This evening, at 7:3O o'clock, the city COM
mission will meet in regular session to hear pro-
tests against the proposed creation of Special
Improvement District No. 254 to finance much
needed repairs on certain sections of Main street.
That protests will be made is indicated by ex-
p~ressions of Mai. street property owners. The
basis of their objections will be that the cOntem-
plated work is a matter of maintenance which
should be paid for out of the general fund, thus
requiring all taxpayers to bear just proportion of
the burden.
There is a great deal of merit in this cOnten-
ton. Even city officials admit the resurfacing of
Main street is a maintenance proposition, but
argue that because the money to pay for it is not
available from city funds, the creation of the
special improvement district, assessing the cost
upon the comparatively few who own property
npOn that thOrOughfare, is necessary.
Main street is not only the principal traffic
avenue of BOzeman, but is a part of the Yellow
stone Trail, a crOss-cOuntry highway. 1t is used
not only by the people of Bozeman, but by the
population of Gallatin county and by thousands
of tourists. The owners of Main street property,
who already have been taxed heavily for paving
and resurfacing, are no more responsible for its
present condition than are other owners of auto
mobiles and trucks that traverse it daily.
Just why, then, Main street freehOlders should
bear the entire burden of restoring it to a decent
condition is a trifle hard to understand. They
are willing to do their proper share, but feel that
the all who benefit should do likewise. The total
cost of the work is estimated at $47,884.60, which
is a sizeable burden when placed upon a few, but
which would amount to only a small sum per
capita if generally assessed.
The difficulties BOzeman's commissioners seem
to have in handling problems of this character
do not seem to bother the commissioners of other
Montana cities having the same form of govern
ment. Helena, for instance, finds it possible,
without creating Improvement districts, to take
care of it's street maintenance work. That He
lena's city commission has the necessary power
to do this has never been seriously questioned.
Main street should and must be repaired-that
is self-evident. In its present condition it is q
disgrace to the community. But in providing fol-
it's restoration the endeavor should be to distri-
butte the burden in a just and equable manner
something the present plan of procedure appar.
emily does not do. The time to enter protests
against the creation of Special Improvement Dis
trict No. 254 is tonight, and Main street property
owners should be on hand.
