INTO THE COURT OF PUBLIC
OPINION

Inc LonoWlng editorial appeared in the
Anaconda Standard of November 21st:
Undoubtedly the public in Montana will
accept the view of Attorney General Foot
IN the matter of the gasoline tax which he
has been seeking to collect THROUGH the
courts from certain of the REFINING comma
mes OF this state. The courts have held
the old gasoline tax law illegal and. as q
result, those companies are not reouired to
pay the tax. At the same time thew have
collected this tax money from tbn nuhlic
Ihey have no more right to retain it than
would a deputy county treasurer have the
right to retain the money he receives for
taxes. In an official statement the attor-
ney general declares that the companies
which collected this tax from their custom
ers and now refuse to turn the money over
TO the state are guilty of larceny bv trus-
tee." To say the very least thew have no
moral right to withhold the money thew
have collected.
The public will have no fault to find
with the attack of these connanies unon
the law. That is their right. But the pub
llc eventually will withhold its natrona0e
from concerns which, under the guise of
complying with the law have extracted
more than $4,000 in taxes from the con-
Sumers of gasoline, only to convert the
money to their own purposes.
Its bad piece of business and the
people are in no mood to tolerate # This
tax case is out of the law courts but the
concerns which hold this monev have an
account yet to settle in the court of public
opinion. 1t is but just to state that very
many Oh the large concerns doing business
N the state and which hold public conf |
Ience have collected and paid the tax from
lhe very beginning. They refused even to /
question the law under which the tax was
evied"

COOLIDGE INVITES
SHIPSTEAD TO BREAKFAST
In the name of harmony the tories
have induced Coolidge to invite Sen.
Shipstead of Minnesota, Farmer-Ia-
Dor member, to the White House to
breakfast with a lot of the regular
politicians. Spokesman of various
factions of the old Republican ma
chine in Minnesota came to Washing
ton to see what was implied. 1hey
disagree among themselves on the is
sue of permitting Shipstead to return
to the old party fold Some think
he should be forgiven for having de-
feated Frank Kellogg in 1922, ana
some think he should be boiled in oil.
Nobody seems to have asked Ship
stead whether he wants to return, and
if so whether he returns as a pro-
gressive or as a regular. Shipstead
finds that 265,000 Minnesota voters
supported tn Farmer-Labor candi-
date for governor this year. He sus-
poets that there will be more in 1928.
BrOOkhart of Iowa is another rebef
who is keeping the G. o. P. steering
committee guessing. He owes moth
ing to Coolidge except the hottest kind
of opposition, and he is returning to
Washington to discuss the need of
farm relief legislation without wait
ing for his new term in the Senate
to begin, after March A. In close
touch with BroOkhart is LaFollette of
Wisconsin, son of the late presiden-
tial candidate of the farmer and labor
progressives. They will ask no pat
ronage, and will make no deals with
Coolidge on anything.

district of the United Mine Workers.

ton as to whether the Kansas indus
trial court can Jail DOrchy for a year
because he called a strike. Tha
strike was called to force a coal com
pany to pay disputed wage claim of |
a union member. Brandeis upheld the |
Kansas industrial court i n finding
this strike "illegal." He said there
is no absolute right to strike" in
this country.
Dorchy has now asked the supreme
court for a rehearing, on the ground
that the compulsory features of the
Kansas industrial court law do not
apply to coal mines.

When an entom0logist gets after an insect pest, he makes a thorough job of learning all about it. Here are some typical examples of facts ascertained:
 The Hessian fly is the most injurious insect enemy of wheat in the United States. During the last thirty-seven years at least seven general outbreaks of this pest have occurred in the States east of the Mississippi River. These invasions have averaged about one every five years In some years toll of approximately $l6,000,000 has been taken in Kansas alone, and the average annual damage to wheat throughout the United States has been put at $50,OOO,- GOO. Damage amounting to at least S100 100000 in a single year has been known to occur from it's work.
 The cotton plant is unusually attrac- tive to insects, and probably no other cultivated crop has as large a list of insect enemies. Among these are some of the most destructive pests in the his tory of agriculture. In addition to the attraction of the plant to those insects which require it as food, the cotton plant is supplied with a peculiar means of attracting insects On the underside of cotton leaves, on the midrib or principal vein and sometimes also on two other veins, is d little elongated depression which usually looks sticky and often holds drop of liquid, On the outside of the Squares" at the base of each leafet are other little cups, and between the leafet and the bud are three more cups.

THE work of the Insect Pest Survey, A the organization engaged in this CO., lossal task of compiling insect statis- tics, is being carried on under the direc- ton of J. A. Hyslop.
 "The object of the survey" explained MT.

No Race Suicide!

SCIENTISTS in the
 Bureau of Entomology, Department of AgricuI- lure, tell us that it has been reckoned that one kind of aphis, developing thirteen generations in a single year, would, if unchecked to the end of the twelfth gener- ation, have multiplied to the inconceivable number ot ten sextillions of indi- viduals. They would fill an ocean.
 It has also been calcu- lated that one pair of gypsy moths would produce enough progeny in eight years to destroy all the foliage in the United States. A single pair of potato bugs would, under ideal condi- tlons, increase in one season to 60,0O0,000.
