the METER and poacher is allowed to
get away with his wholesale scheme.
While we are on the subject of game
law enforcement, we would very much
like to see Bill Hanson retained as
chief warden of this district apd just
q little more authority handed him
He is capable, efficient and uses good
Judgment in all his official acts. Even
the most bitter enemies of the game
and fish laws give Bill credit for be-
ing q good official. And, he uses his
head for something besides rack to
hang his hat Oh
Lastly, it would be a tne thing II
those not in the beaver ring or num-
bered with the poachers, netters and
dynamiters would give Mr.. Mccullough
and his force OF wardens their whole
some cooperation. Many are doing
this but there are some who think IT
is smart to slip one over" on the
game law.
In another place in this paper VIII
be found a call for hearing at the
city hall on August ~ on a petition
to open up a part of the game refuge
in the Superior National Forest to
duck shooting. The territory desired
to be opened is Townships 81, 81, Is
and "a, Range 10, Township GA, Range
and Township "a, Range IA.
Hats OF to the Flag. Sunday even
ing, we noticed that the men in the
parade removed their hats when the
stars and stripes passed. We also
noticed that about two-thirds of those
on the side lines failed to remove theil
hats. There is no law compelling you
to do this but there should be. How
ever, the flag of this fine, free country
of ours should be honored and the
least you can do to show respect Is
to remove your hat when the fiaG
passes and see how nice it feels. Don't
wait to see what the other fellow does
Be first and set good example.

A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR

In last weeks Producers News typographical
made in the editorial under the heading Farmers
and Workers candidates, which reversed the meaning
of the editorial and which wish to correct in this
issue. The paragraph in question is as follows:
"Of every citizen in Sheridan county will
ceive consideration at their hands, whether he be bank
err businessman in any other line of business But
when questionable proposition is put up to them by
people who hope to gain thereby they in position
to turn the offer down flat without fear of other in
uences being brought to bear upon them to close the
other eye They will safeguard the interests of out
side parties. And after all practically all of the bust
ness of the county is transacted with parties other
than farmers and workers."
This should have read:

ceve consideration at their hands, whether he be bank

In what has been aptly called "kept press" and it
may may not result in loss of enterprising editor

sured hold that tends at least to make for fIaness
Of course, it may be said that there will be fear

drop of seventeen cents in the price of wheat in
two days last week shows again how the farmer is
beaten out of part of the fair price Of his crop by
the simple device of putting down the quotation when
ne mad the grain to sell and putting up again when
he is out of the market
What possible change could there be in the relation
OF supply and demand in two days, to Justify slash
of fifteen per cent in the price?
The farmer is told that he is paid in accordance
with the operation of the law of supply and demand
But neither the supply the demand could CHANCE
IN two days 1t could be altered only in the course Of
months So manifestly this price cut which takes
millions off the value of the 1923 wheat crop. is NOT
justified by either supply or demand.
For the past three months newspapers onrosod -
farm relief have been quoting prices Offered for wheat
and corn and hogs and CATTLE in contendng that tbe
farmer need no relief. Let them instead use tbe
prices that are actually paid TO the farme. when his
wheat comes on, when corn comes on when hogs com.
on; let them not the prices charged to consumer
by those who have bought from the farmer.

In this weeks issue of the Producers News is pub
lshed list of the candidates running for office
the Independent ticket and the offices for which they
have been selected by the farmers and workers
vention held in Pentywood last month.
Every eligible voter in the fall election should study
this list carefully They the candidates who have
been selected by representatives from practically every
voting precinct in the county.
Those selected for the various offices of Sheridan
county have been selected because they consider
ed the best timber that could be found in the county
for the various offices. They anxious to meet
cry voter in the county and prove that they have the
interests of the taxpayers at heart and the
fall work is completed vigorous campaign will be
made over the entire county
Much is to be gained by the farmers and workers
of Sheridan county in keeping the control of the county
in their hands and it is hard to conceive any
why the producers of this county should vote any other
ticket than the Independent Ticket in the fall election.

WHEELER AND RELIEF
(From The Cut Bank Pioneer Press)

Mr.. Hoover says that the way to get farm
relief is to build the Great Lakes-St. Law
renee waterway. Joe Dixon, who wants to
go to the United States Senate, agrees with
Mr.. Hoover. And B. K Wheeler. who is OPP
posing Mr.. Dixon, agrees with both of them.
but with this difference: The farmers need
immediate relief from crop SURPRISES, which
the waterway project will not bring for many
years.
So Mr.. Wheeler says that if reelected he
will continue to vote for crop surplus control
legislation, which Mr.. Hoover opposes and Mr.
Dixon avoids discussing In this way, Mr.
Wheeler would bring relief to the present gen.
Grafton of farmers and not put it off until
their grandchildren have grown up and taken
the job of operating their farms

Now this is characteristic Tribune editorial,
broad, bland generality. Let us if it will bear
alysis.
Mr. Wheeler says he will continue to vote for crop
surplus control says his hacker, the Tribune. What
form and label will this crop surplus control take?
The vital principle of the McNary- Haugen bill was
the surplus control idea and the equalization fee idea
designed to compensate for possible loss in
ketng this surplus abroad But the candidate for the
presidency the democratic ticket is opposed to the
equalization fee, how far will Mr. Wheeler he of
the heart which bleeds for the farmer get with his
relief idea? 1t might be said at this point that Mr.
Wheeler's distinguished confrer Senator Walsh has
opposed and continues frown on the equalization fee
idea So just what has Senator Wheeler to offer us
an immediate relief?
AS for Joe Dixon, his sympathy for sound relief leg
islation manifest long before Wheeers position
on the matter was made manifest. The McNary- Hau
gen idea had its inception in Dixons home in Helena
when he governor and when Chester Davis was
his commissioner of agriculture. Davis NJ L. Wilson
and two representatives of the national secre
tary of agriculture mapped out the McNary- Hanger
idea and Davis the man who presented it to thu
country.
What Wheeler do in the way of realizing farm
relief with Al Smith president is precisely nothing
