WALSH'S FAUX PAS

When Senator T. J. Walsh asserted before a
Bozeman audience that he voted against the Nc
Nary-Haugen farm relief measure "tO save Mon
tana farmers loss of five six million dollars,
he either displayed profound ignorance of the
bill or trusted that his hearers did not know
enough about it to Question his statement.
But the statement was questioned and in reply
to an inquiry as to just how the states wheat
producers would suffer such loss the senator
explained that on the basis of $4,000, ,00O-bushel
marketable crop the equalization fee of 10 cents
bushe would aggregate $5,OOO,OOO, which sum
would not be returned to the farmers if the bill
were later declared unconstitutional, as he be-
lieved it would be.
The absurdity of Mr.. Walsh's argument can
best be illustrated by concrete example. In
Bozeman today winter wheat of high grade is
selling at $1.00 bushel. If the McNary- -Haugen
measure were in operation, Gallatin farmers would
be receiving that price plus the tariff Of AZ cents
or $1.42 bushel. From this figure would be de-
Quoted the equalization fee of 10 cents, leaving
the producer $1.32 bushel for his wheat. II
next winter the bill were declared uncOnstitutiona
and the equalization fee not returned, the farmer
would still be 80 cents a bushel to the good.
In other words, if the fate of the McNary.
Haugen relief measure had depended upon Senator
T. J. Walsh, that international lawyers adverse
vote would, instead of saving Treasure state wheat
producers Give of six million dollars" have
caused them loss this year of approximately
$2O,OOO,OOO!

RESCUING THE FARMERS

Former Governor McKelvie of Nebraska re-
Gently directed attention to the fact that while
the business men of the United States spend
$85O,000,OO0 annually in advertising their wares
only $9OOOO,OOO of this outlay goes toward ac-
quainting farmers with what merchants and
manufacturers have to sell. And Mr.. McKelvie
added that farmers each year have potential
purchasing power of $1O,OOO,OOO,OOO
There may be reasons for this apparent dis
crepancy in advertising for the business of farm
ers. Doubtless the disproportion is not so great
as apparent, because as a general rule the adver-
tising rates in papers going to farmers are not
so high in proportion as in magazines and news
papers which do not cover the rural fields It
may be that national advertisers have been dis
couraged by stories from agricultural states to
the effect that the farmer is on the verge of sink
ing to the level of European peasantry.
At any rate, advertisers are making a mistake
by not paying more attention to the rural adver-
tising field. Farmers have money to spend and
Fthey spend it. They are best reached by local
newspapers Farmers are the most careful read
ers of newspapers and periodicals. National adver-
tisers should get acquainted with these facts if
they do not already know them. The farmer is
not broke, he lives as well if not better than his
brother in the city, and he has money to buy the
things business men advertise for sale.

ADDRESSING YOUR MAIL

With astounding statement of the waste
caused by careessness, the postoffice depart
ment continues to urge more careful addressing
of mail and a return address upon all mailed
matter.
The departments statement revealed that about
25,000,OOO letters were sent to the dead letter
division last year. Of these, more than 100000
contained valuable enclosures, the total in money,
drafts, checks and money orders being ST, BIT OO0
While all but $4,000 of this was redirected
from information cleaned by opening the letters
there was an estimated loss of 1920 in interest
on money delayed through incorrect addresses.
The department also urges advertisers to use
first-cass mail with return address so they
may correct their mailing lists and ascertain how
much Of their material is reaching it's objective

WLIls NICElOOO - WAAALOAs@A " 49,
WASHINGTON, D. C.-In an ear
lier letter of this service the predic-
ton was made that the Democrats,
with Coolidge out of the running as
they saw it, through their high COM
mand would begin to figure on pos
sible Democratic victory in '28 by the
elimination of Smith and McAdoo
from the list of candidates. What was
predicted has now happened. Mr.. Me-
AdOo, in a heart-throbbing statement
recently issued, has withdrawn HIM
self from the field and by his own
action has virtually urged Smith to
follow suit in order that the party
may start fresh with hopes Of a VIC
tory for the organization.
McAdoo's statement was not an inn
pulsive movement. 1t was carefully
and laboriously worked out, and the
real thought behind it was not so
much to retire McAdOO as to get
Smith out of the running. In no 9th
er way can one explain the fact that
simultaneously with the McAdoO pro-
clamation, Senator Harris Of GeOr-
gia, Fletcher of Florida, Caraway Of
Arkansas, Dill of Washington, while
praising McAdoo, called on Smith to
do the same. Pat Harrison and Sen
ator Heflin, who even before the Nc
Adoo retirement were pronounced il
their declarations that Smith should
get out, have also joined anew in the
demand. These maneuvers should
interest the Republicans.
Because of the extraordinary sue
cess of the Coolidge administration
many Republicans have been nourish
ing the feeling that the 1928 election
will be walk-over and that any Re
publican nominee can win. 1t is jus
as well for them to understand tina
the movement to have Smith make |
burnt offering Of, himself is certain
to continue and grow, and may NEE
with success.
Already an Owen Young campaign
is under way, and Jim Reed of Mis-
souri, is not loafing on the sidelines

dates who would require the best tina

lican possibilities if victory is to b

PRIVATE CONTROL

After having, as one exchange puts it, "nurtur-
ed the infant air mail service to its present stage
of proved success" the government has turned
over its lines to private operation. The National
Air Transport corporation recently took over the
crack New York Chicago run, the last link of the
transcontinental line remaining under government
control. This means that, henceforth commercial
air service including air mail in the United States
will be developed by private corporations and in
dividuaI enterprise. The government will, of
course continue to assist the service in every
way possible.
AS Postmaster General New put it: ''The real
purpose of the business has been to demonstrate
to private capital that the service was not only
possible scientifically but that it could be made
profitable commercially, and thereby encourage
the creation of new industry in the United
States.
To-day there are more companies making air.
planes in the United States than there are manu-.
featuring automobiles. There are Is privately
owned lines flying the air mail, and there are
several others for which contracts are let and
which shortly will be placed in operation. Among
these is one from New York to Atlanta"
The government has put the air service on
substantial basis and then wisely turned it over
to private capital for development. The govern
ment has built up a merchant marine and in tim,
this will be turned over to private shipping inter
ests for further development. Experience la.
proved that services of this kind can better b,
operated by private effort.
We need our air service and our merchan
marine brought to the highest point Of develop
ment, for our prosperity in time of peace and OK

candidates on the theory that the
Coolidge impetus or a tight grip on
the Coolidge coat-tails would carry
these men into the seats of the
mighty. Accordingly, there were GER
tain vsas Republican senatorial and
represS tative candidates, good fell
lows rather than able men, who were
to be rewarded this time round.
With Coolidge out of the running
the situation has entirely changed.
Without any disparagement of any
of the presidential candidates now In
the field, there is a growing feeling
that they will need all the strength
they have for their own ends, and
that strong senatorial representative
candidates will be needed to hep
them to get the proper popular vote

public have inclined some to the be-
lief that it is about time to take some
men from the farm and put them IN
to the department and give the liter
airy experts in this department a
chance to go back to the farm.
The department, it appears, re-
leased for publication an article on
the price situation into which there
was written the statement: ct is
likely that prices will decline in the
next few months This sentence ar
rested the attention of the cotton
market as it appeared in the part of
the pamphlet discussing cotton, and
sent the cotton market tumbling
$3.50 a bale.
Meanwhile another official of the
department. of agriculture, discussing
trading in wheat futures, said that
Of the total transactions in futures
only about per cent are based on
actual wheat in hand, and "about 95
per cent of the transactions in grain
futures made on American grain ex-
changes are of a speculative charac-
ter"
Now the grain people are up in the
air with a demand that if govern
ment officials are to make such
declarations they shall at least be
ready to submit sustaining facts.
President Coolidge has let it be
known that he regards government
department predictions on prices as
hazardous and a positive order has
been issued to stop all future adven-
lures.
All this brings to the front the
question as to whether government
reports should not be confined abso-
lutely to statements of facts and be
devoid of prophetic or interpretive
comments.

The voice of criticism has begun to call these
long distance ocean flights foolish. A waste of

helping it.
1t is the old voice that called Columbus crazy
in the streets of Genoa. The scene has changed,
but the voice is the same.
The Dole air race was not well prepared, and
such contest was useless, the voice declares We
cannot deny that.
But what we want to point out here is that the
voice of criticism seems to have forgotten the
main issue. That is the conquest of the air, an

has found possible in aviation, the chartng Of

All these people are heroes and they are not
foolish. They are brave past common under
standing. AS for wasting human life, by the

human life than this!

FLOOD RELIEF

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Assurance
from Secretary Hoover that there are
sufficient funds for the relief of flood
sufferers until the end of the year,
and that there may be a million dol
lars surplus in flood relief funds, plus
the further statement that the reports
of the engineers will not be ready for
presentation until toward the close of
this year. form the basis of the presi-
dents present feeling that there is
no need of summOning senate and
house in extra session.
For a time, Senator Jim Reed was
one of the most assiduous in demand
ing that the national lawmakers be
called to Washington for the primary
purpose of dealing with the problems
left by the raging of the lower Mis-
sissippi, but even he, on learning the
true state of things, subsided like
unto the waters. For weeks not a
word has the falchiOn of the Democ-
racy of the Southwest said on the
subject.
The attitude of Speaker Longworth
as outlined to the president, was de-
termined only after consultation by
the speaker with many of the house
members-DemOcratic, as well as Re-
publican. If the president had be-
lieved that an extra session would
have been of benefit, he would have
issued the call. Had the speaker be-
lieved the public interest would have
been served in any way, he would
have urged such a course upon the
president.

USE OF MILK INCREASES.

In the eight years from 1917 to
1925 the per capita consumption of
milk in the United States increased
from 42.2 gallons to 54.8 gallons.
Most of this increase was in the cit
les, where health officials stressed the
value of clean, safe milk. In the
same period ice-cream production in
creased 53.7 per cent, but the gen
erai supply of milk increased to such
a degree that the proportion used for
ice cream merely changed from 3S
per cent to 3.8 per cent. At present
approximately half of the milk in the
United States goes for household use.
