W-ELL-MERTTED RECOGNITION

Chester C. Davis, formerly secretary of agri-
culture for Montana, is winning merited recog-
milton in larger fields
Recent press dispatches from Chicago said that
in the exchange of ideas upon the problem of
handling the nations exportable crop surplus,
George N. Peek, president of the Moline Pillow
company, and Mr.. Davis, who is now marketing
director of the Illinois Marketing association, are
taking a leading part.
Mr.. Davis attracted national attention two
years ago, when the McNaFy-Haugen bill was be-
fore congress. After the hearings, the then
United States secretary of agriculture, Mr.. Wal
lace, declared that Mr.. Davis testimony before
the committee was the most intelligent of any
given by witnesses from the Northwest.
Montana is proud to claim Mr.. Davis as one
of it's citizens. He has energy, ability, brains, anC
vision. He seems destined to become a figure
of unusual prominence in the country's agricul
tural and economic circles.
Mr.. Davis formerly was a newspaper man, anC
at one time was editor of The Courier.

Bozeman cannot gain in Importance and increase
in size if it's citizens invest their money and buy

T THE CRIMINAL
Helena Independent

TIL way to go after the criminal to really get
him is to abolish the present labyrinth of pro-
tective law and procedure that hedges him around
in the courts, and in place of it establish a con-
ditiOn in which he will get his day in court, with
full opportunity to prove his innocence, but no
more. A move toward this was recommended to
the Association of American Law Schools bv
speakers at its convention at Chicago.

WASHINGTON, D. CA flood of
bills aimed to benefit agriculture is
a noteworthy feature of the 69th cen
gress. A large part of the proposed
legislation has little, if any merit.
Some Of the remainder is worthy OF
serious study and consideration.
The senate and the house agricul-
tural committees will almost imme-
diately start hearings on these bills
and attempt to separate unsound pro-
pOsals from those that T ecOnomi-
cally sound.
Very interesting and acrimonious

G. o. P. A CHOSEN.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-COngress-
man viii R. Wood, Of Indiana, has
been reelected chairman of the Re-
publican Congressional committee to
conduct the campaign in 1926. Earl
Venable was reelected as executive
secretary. John @. Tilson, of Con-
centicut, was made first vice-chair-
man; Representative Addison T.
Smith, Of Idaho, second vice-chairman,
and Harry Wurzbach, of Texas, third.
These selections are worthy Of COM
mendation. Congressman Wood is a
typical Indianan with more than the
usual amount of hOrse-sense which
gentlemen from that state enjoy. He
has the happy faculty of being able
to enthuse folk and to give them con-
fidence. Earl Venable as executive
secretary can be set down as one Of
those men who accomplish things
without making a fuss, and in these
times Of political t~umblebugs, it viii
be agreed that such qualities are most
valuable. Even the most bumptious
Democrats have hardly dared sug-
gest capturing the house and election
Of Wood, and the selection of this
staff to function with him is not like
ly to encourage them into the expires
sion Of any thought of that sort.

POLITICAL. NOT ECONOMIC

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Dem
Ocratic assault upon the American.
protective tariff can be put down
fatty and absolutely as a political
and not an economic activity. The
one great barrier which stands be-
tween Democratic hopes and success
is the high level Of prosperity pre-
vailing throughout this county. There
is no need Of reciting anew as proof,
the extraordinary increases in say
ings-bank deposits, in the purchase
Of life insurance policies, or the high
level Of American wages. nut the
Democrats appreciate as long as this
situation continues that their hopes
Of making Roadway are blocked even
at the very beginning. Not so long
ago, at the Woodrow Wilson celebra-
ton in New York, a Democratic SEN
atcr admitted frankly that on the face
Of the returns, because Of the con-
fidence of the people in the president,
and their satisfaction with economic
conditions, that Democratic hopes
even for 1928 were rather an idle
dream.
Under the circumstances it car be
said, without fear Of contradiction,
that the Democratic leaders who are
weeping crocodile tears e the tar
if and at the same time energetically
striving to introduce the tariff as q
matter Of present legislation, are en-.
gagged in a deliberate attempt to dis
turb the present economic conditions.
Already, incidental as the tariff dis
cussiOn has been, a state Of indeci-
sion has been developed in the manu-
featuring field. It is the opinion CT
some very shrewd merchandisers that
a continuation of this talk and the
suggestion that an amendment to the
tariff Is a possibility in the near fu-
ture, is very apt to show itself in q
curtailment Of purchase orders. His
tory has shown again and again that
tariff discussion we'll in advance of
any attempts to secure tariff legisla-
ton works for a curtailment and
stagnation in business. It creates in
the minds both of the manufactures
and the purchaser a disposition ia
halt, to take account CT stock, and to
await future action, with the natural
result Of a lessening of employment
and Of activities in general. With
every appreciation, and with the d.
rect intention, if possible, of provok.
ing a situation which viii curtail oul
> business activities, the Democrats ar,
trying to force this issue on the PEG.
pie with the hope Of thus breaking
. down Republican prosperity now ex
= istent, which is, as was said in thu
e beginning, the one barrier betweel
] them and their hopes to again securl
public office.

E P E CAMPAIGN.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Demo
cratic high command has formally and
officially opened it's 1926 campaign.
AS might be expected, instead of TAX
ing it's issues or causes to the people,
it is running true to form on an ob-
~structive rather than a constructive
platform. During the last session Of
congress, the Democrats individually
waged a form of guerilla warfare,
but in that case it was every man on
his own initiative in a battle for news
paper headlines. Washington news
paper observers have already sensed,
however, that a new campaign is be-
ing formally directed and controlled,
and for that reason the attacks are
likely to be more formidable even
though the opportunities of success
will not exceed those Of last year.
The first line of battle calls for an
attack on all the presidential appoint.
ments. To that end on the senate side
they have started the labOred anC
solemn consideration Of nomination.
for even minor offices. The object o.
this line is not hard to fathom. Ever
time an appointment can be held NJ
and an investigation with hearings
private or public had, it means that il
each and every case Republican sen
atOrs whose services are really needle,
for the actual work Of the government
are obliged to devote hours to sittinl
in committee sessions, thus delaying
the constructive work on which the,
would be naturally engaged. Tn
minor character Of an appointment t
public office Of itself is no excus
for hasty OK ill-considered confirma
tory action, but when as in the pres
ent instance appointments and ap
p~ointees are being hecdeds and cross
heckled solely for the purpose Of ere
ating delays then the investigator
tactics are properly a subject TO
criticism.

Of consideration, and should they be
enacted into law, viii bring greater
evils than they are attempting to cuEe.
Il is almost certain that at least
two pieces Of agricultural legislation
will be enacted before congress ad-
~journs: One, a cooperative market
ing bill based on the recommendation
Of Secretary Jardine; the other the
COle-C Cummings bill. Tbs legalizes
the use Of ccrn sugar on the same
basis as cane and beet sugars in the
sweetening and preserving Of pre-
pared and canned food products.
Advocates Of the corn sugar legis-
latiOn hold that this will res9lt IN the
annual use Of from 25,OOO,050 to 50,-
100000 bushels Of corn in the manu-
facture Of corn sugar. This would
help materially to reduce the surplus
Of corn production.
Secretary Jardine has now confer
red with agricultural editors and farm
leaders in Washington. The National
Council Of CO-operatives opened in
Washington on January II and lasted
until Jan. Is. A Midwest Farm cen
ference has been called to meet in pes
MOines on January %. The National
Board Of Farm Organizations also
meets here early in February.
The results Of these meetings are
awaited with much interest. It IS
hoped that from these leaders and
groups some sane, practical, sound
and constructive ideas may come that
will bring the many conflicting agri-
cultural groups into harmony on a
Legislative program that will secure
sufficient votes to be enacted into
law.

they stood by the president they
would lose what little public respect
was left, and mournfully regretted
that the Democratic party had so lit

TO a program that it was economy to

TROUBLE m RANKS.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The present
editorial attitude Of the New York
Times and the New York World, both
black Democratic organs, is disturb

they care TO confess. Just after the
Democrats had decided that the Cool
idge policy Of getting rid Of our debt
as quickly as possible was something
which they could safely attack, the

H JOURNALS "DUD"

In it's issue of January z, the Belgrade Journal
wildly criticized The Courier for having said that
the work of the grain laboratory at Montana
State college is of great Importance to the wheat
grower, and that the funds allotted to it are in
sufficient.
The Journals rawlings betrayed a woeful lack
of familiarity with the facts. In it's Over-anxiety
to defend Governor J. E. Erickson and his mis-
applied economy program" it rushed forward
with a sO-called argument that was as full of holes
as a sieve. The whole thing was a "dud."
When the Journal said Farmers all over the
Gallatin valley have generally received a better
grading for their wheat from the mills and ele-
vators than has been secured by them at the
laboratory" it evidently did not know that Gal
latin valley mills do not make protein tests of
wheat, but send all their samples to the grain
laboratory at the State college. The wheat grower
who sends a sample to a valley mill receives
exactly the same test, in the same laboratory, as
he would receive were he to take it to the State
college himself.
The Courier asserted that the laboratory, tC
do most efficient work, should have an appropri
alton of about $4,000 a year, and that in 1925
Gin the interest of economy" it was given only
$4,000. The Journal, Tuning over the implied
placing of responsibility for this cut upon Gov
ernor Erickson, jumped to conclusions and de
clared that "the great Republican majority in tn
state legislature should get Fall the credit TO
the cut" Again it is in error. The legislator
appropriated $9,O24 for the College grain labor
atory, and it was the state board of examiners
led by Governor Erickson and his Eyes man.
Lee Dennis, that Topped off the $1,O24.
But the most unjustified declaration in tn
Journals editorial is contained in a bitter attac
on the grain laboratOry's service to wheat grow
ers. eff" it asserts, "the service to the farmer
rendered by the two grain laboratories in Nor
tana during the coming years is no better than
has been in the past, then they (the farmers
lose money by a continuation of the department.
No more il-considered and unfounded state
ment has appeared in print in years. Just 20 sho7
how far out of touch with farmers and the
sentiments the Journal is, we quote a r~esolutio
adopted by Montana Farm bureau at its annu,
convention in Bozeman, January 4 and s:
"Since it is the tendency to increase the systel
of purchasing wheat on a protein basis, and sine
it is a practice that should be encouraged, I'll
Montana Farm bureau urges that the state
Montana provide adequate laboratories and funC
for making protein tests. Since the state graf
laboratory at Montana State college and the labo
atory at Great Falls are experiencing such an i
creased demand for protein tests as to tax to Il
utmost their present facilities, we consider
highly essential that provision be made to me
these increased demands"
This indicates plainly that Montana farme
realize not only the value of the work being dol
