Second Shipment
From POndeYa

The Pondera Poultry Grow
ers' Association have announc-
ed that they will make another
shipment of dressed poultry
the last of January. The dates
of shipment, according to Iren
DeSteffany, manager, will be
January 29th from Waller,
January 30th from Brady, and
January 31st, and February 1st
from Conrad. The Pondera
Association will not load at
Sweet Grass and Shelby as
they did in December. Any
one in this section shipping
with the association will have
TO send their birds to one of
The three shipping points. Mr..
DeSteffany states that he
would rather have the birds
arrive for the shipment in Con-
rad, as he does not anticipate
such a rush at that point.
Dressed ducks, geese, chick
ems, and capons as well as tur-
keys, will be shipped on this
market.

The first real blizzard hit
this part Of the state the last Of
the week, accompanied by ze-
70 weather. The blizzard start
ed on Thursday of last week,
but slackened some, and again
on Monday it ragged all day,
and the therometer continued
to drop. The roads we're re-
ported impossible between
most Of the towns. Field oper-
ations have slackened, or prac-
ticaHy at a standstill, and it is
not expected that there will be
any drilling operations until
the weather moderateS. Pump
ing Of the producers is about
all of the activities in the field
at the present time. Tuesday
morning the thermometer reg
istered "a degrees below here
in town, and has not been far
from that mark since.

LICENSE Law
PROPOSED FOR
AUTO DRIVERS

A proposed drivers license
law has been prepared by the
Montana Automobile associa-
ton and will be presented to
the state legislature this week,
A. J. Breitenstein, secretary of
the association, has announc-
ed. He says that in addition to
the support Of the association,
the proposed law would have
the support of several civic or
CARNATIONS.
The new measure will incOr-
pOrate the essential features of
the model or uniform act as
contained in the Hoover code.
Eighteen states already have
adopted this uniform legisla-
tion and many other states
have the law in a modified
fashion.
The principal provisions Of
the Montana measure include
that no person shall drive an
automobile unless licensed by
the register Of motor vehicles.
Licenses shall not be issued
to persons under 16.
Licenses shall not be issued
to habitual drunkards, drug
addicts, insane or feeble mind
ed or those afflicted with
physical or mental disability
such as to prevent reasonable
control over a motor vehicle.
Those who have previously
driven car at the time when
the law is first enacted may
obtain license upon applica-
ton.
All new drivers must pass
an examination.
Courts shall report to the
state depaltp. chi III convic-
tions for violations CT motor
laws and may recommend SuS-
pension of license.
Any person who has been
denied license or whose lie
eRse has been revoked may
appeal to the courts.
Application of minors und-
er 18 must be signed by parent |
or guardian or employer, who
then becomes liable for any
negligence in driving by such
minor.
Advantages claimed for the
proposed measure by its spon-
sers include:
1t saves lives.
It does away with incompe-
tence.
II gives the police check-up
in case of accidents.
If assists in scientific study /
Of accident causes.
1t is essential to orderly
statewide control of motor
transportation.
The National Safety council
have statistics to prove that in
states where a drivers license
law is in effect that motor ac-
cidents decrease 20 percent.
This is considered an advant-
age which outweighs any OBJ
jection which might be raised,
in the opinion Of Mr.. Breiten
stein

| ry, for it is our sentiments exactly
and we firmly believe and know tina
the writer's words are true.
1t is human nature to over
look our many blessings until
one Of them is suddenly taken
from US, for instance. when
our gas is suddenly shut off OF
our electricity fails, or our
water man is taken sick with
the flu.
An outstanding instance Of
this kind is the recent resigna-
ton Of A. Z. SchwingeI from
the management Of the Conrad
Bank Of Great Falls For the
past 80 years or more we have
felt free to 60 into that bank
and tell our troubles to Mr..
Schwingel its another case Of
not missing the water until
the spring runs dry. 1t is a
matter Of statewide regret that
he is not in his accustomed
place to render this service to
his Great Falls friends and
his many customers in the
Northern oil fields. It is a
strange coincidence that his
competitors and fellow bank
erS in that city are most insist
ent that he continue in the
same business in Great Falls.
OF course we mention this
without any reflection on the
most excellent service render
ed by the other banks in that
city, they have been extremely
liberal in assisting in the de-
velopment Of our Northern
Montana oil industries. There
is our F National, bank
that would be highly appreciat-
ed in any city from New York
to San Francisco, as solid as
the rock Of Gibralter, the sec
ond largest bank in Montana,
and extremely liberal with any
firm or individual that can
show that they are financially |

GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENTS
PREVENTABLE.

The one sure remedy for grade cross
ing and highway automobile accidents
is safe driving. Accidents generally
result from carelessness or incompe-
tence. Instead of burdening the peo-
pie with compulsory insurance legis-
lation and tax issues to eliminate all
grade crossings, educate the public and
enforce practical traffic codes
Reckless and drunken drivers should
not be allowed on highways. They are
a constant menace to life and property.
Those who dash across grade crossings
and give no heed to traffic regulations
should, after warning, be deprived OF
licenses.
The railroads of the country, in
their great work to reduce accidents,
have succeeded in every phase of the
problem but grade crossing collisions.
1t takes an average of seven seconds
for a train to pass any given spot. Yet
every year thousands of people, un-
willing to wait the seven seconds, lose
their lives.
Accident reduction is mainly mat
ter of teaching drivers when to step
on the brake instead of the accelera-
tor.

OUR TARIFF NEED.

The tariff, with its vital effect on
American industry and .wage-earners.
should be treated as business, not a
political problem.
Too many legislators advocate tariff
changes with. an eye on the folks at
home" instead of regarding the we'll
being of the nation as a whole.
When tariff duties are too low our
industries suffer, factories shut down
and thousands of workers are thrown
out of employment. When too high,
imports are discouraged and our for
eign trade relations menaced.
The basic principle of our tariff is
that it shall act as, an equalizer with
out shutting out foreign goods from
the American market. In the interest
of our workers, with their high living
standards and wage scales, it is necess-
airy to offset the natural foreign ad-
vantage of cheap-labor production.
Legislators should work toward a
tariff that will adequately protect
American industries and workers
without undue discrimination against
foreign producers.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

During 1927 and 1928 fire losses in
the United States showed an appreci-
able reduction, in comparison to FORM
er years, In spite Of large increase
in the total value of insured property.
This would indicate that the gospel
fire prevention is at last beginning to
bear fruit. Through building inspec-
ton, better building codes, improved
fire departments, better water systems,
fire prevention weeks and similar ac-
tivities, every citizen has been given q
knowledge of the menace of fire and
the tragic magnitude of fire waste.
The recent fire in the Cleveland
Clinic, which took 124 lives, has given
us terrible object lesson. It is now
officially claimed that the fire was
the result of carelessness in storing
and guarding films. Every home or
building fitted for human occupation
presents hazards which need constant
watching.
The two years decrease in the fire
loss is hopeful. but not conclusive Of

THIRTEEN BILLIONS FOR CRIME.

Crime, according to Wade Ellis Of
the American Bar Associations Crime
Commission, costs the United States
$13, 0O0, 5000 year.
We have $4,000 murders annually,
so times the number recorded in Great
Britain. Since 1900 our murder rate
has increased $50 per cent.
The causes of crime are many and
foremost among them Mr.. Ellis places
our multiplicity of laws which, by
simple mathematics, has increased the
total of crimes. Every new law breeds
new criminals, decreases respect for
society and places new burdens on
our courts of justice.
1t is a disheartening fact that the
great majority of our citizens take
crime more or less as matter Of
course. What is needed is an active
public consciousness that will force a
simplification and reform of our laws
and legal system, and oppose the ten
dency to pile more enactments on the
already bullying statute books. Too
many laws touch the good citizen and
fail to discomfort the criminal.
The sole test for any law is whether
it protects society and Furnishes or re-
forms the underworld. We must re-
turn to first principles in our war
against crime.

FOLLOWING RAILROAD SAFETY
PRACTICES.

Automobile builders are adopting
all-steel bodies for reliability and
safety. Recently Fraulein SHINES,
daughter of the great German Finan-
cied, took $4,000 mile motor trip
through ~ countries. Twelve thous-
and miles were over roadless country;
in some instances blasting was necess-
airy to get through. Temperatures
varied from 100 degrees below zero in
Siberia to the intense heat of the des-
erts. The two cars used went over
rocks, up almost impossible noun
tains, in snow and sand.
The specially constructed an-steel
bodies survived the journey without
damage. 1t was one of the most rigid
tests of automobile construction ever
made.
While the ordinary driver expert
ences no such difficulties, the all-steel
body is Of equal importance to him as
a safeguard in collisions and accidents

lest we forget.
One of the speakers at the 'picnic
Thursday paid deserved tribute 20
the work of the Oliver Mining Com
pany in relation to the Old Settlers.
The company through its general sup
erintendent, ChaS. Trezona, has for
the past twelve or more years been a
factor in the observance of the re-
unions of the Vermilion Range Old
Settlers Association, by furnishing and
keeping the grounds in which the an
nual picnics are held and by furnish
ing the "booyah," preparing and SER
wing the same with the accessories.
For years, Pete NORM of Tower pre-
pared the tasty "booyah." Pete passed
away during the past year and at the
picnic Thursday, Tom Taylor of Tower
did the cooking. Tom is one of the
earliest residents of the Vermilion and
Notwithstanding his years is one Of
the youngest old timers in the organi-
zation. We hope to see Tom as chef
for many years.
Nine of the living past presidents of
the Old Settlers were at the reunion
this week. John Anderson the first
president came from Dodge Center.
Besides Mr.. Anderson there were Past
Presidents E. j. Morcom of Soudan;
T. H. Wheeler of Tower; Thomas
Owens of Two Harbors; Mrs. Eliza
Polkinghorne of Hibbing; Chas. Ire
IONA, A. j. Thomas and Mrs. Peter
Schaefer of Ely. Sam Owens and
Edward Lynch, the other living past
presidents were unavoidably absent.
Those at the head of the organiza-
ton who have passed on are John
Owens, of Cook; Lon Merritt of Du-
luth; George H. Vivian of Duluth and
Barth Coffey of Ely. Another of the
first officers was p. T. Brownell, who
also is numbered among the ones who
have passed. They are gone but not
forgotten.

LEADERSHIP FOR TAX
REDUCTION.

It is a well-known fact that while
there have been constant substantial
reductions in Federal taxes and the
national debt, state taxes and debt
have been climbing. This is due to
new state activities and multiplying
offices and institutions.
The only remedy for the evils of ex-
panding the burdens of taxpayers is
for legislatures and state leaders to
fight tax expansion, multiplying bur-
eaus and new officialism.
The people can lower taxes by ceas-
ing to demand new governmental
functions that are hot necessary. Lead
ership for tax reduction is imperative.
