SHEARING TIME

After all the stock debacle last
week was just a revision down
ward of a high stock tariff. The
losses were mostly paper losses
representing paper profits on
stocks that awaited far beyond
reason because of the fact that
most everybody became stock
minded In the last few months
Real estate is as good as 1t was
before the market slump; factor
les are turning out just as good
goods with just as much value
the dollar is as sound as it was
before the crash, and the earning
capacity Of the dollar is just as
stable as it was before everybody
tried to get rich specializing. AT
ter the crash was over, the 1ambs

born And the fellow who was
trimmed but not entirely shingled

n SPIRIT OF '29

when the war drums throb no longer and the battle flags are
fured" those of thoughtful mind will note the changing character
stark mad on that November day eleven years ago when the news
broke upon a weary world that the bloody conflict overseas had
years of strife should break loose in an exultant manifestation OF
triumph-in victory for the ideals for which millions of men and WON

The bitterness and hatreds of wal have been suppanted with
a realization Of the purpose for which the youth of the land gave
its strength and blood; Armistice Day is becoming more and more
a day of memories, a day sanctifed by the tears of Gold Star Mothers
a day of prayers, a day OF resignation to the wonderful sacrhlce we
made on the side of right.
There is nothing new about this resignation, nothing new about

well where it has been tried. This
work is now being done by the
sheriffs Of the different counties,
who are peace officers, but whose
forces are not organized for gen
eral police work and whose jur-
isdiction ends at the border line
of their own county.
Chief Justice Taft, in a speech
before the American Bar associa-
ton, strongly advocated such a
system as a preventive of crime,
also recommending that the pro
ecution of criminals should be un-
der the direction Of a chief pros
ecuting officer-the attorney gen.
eral.
These and many other questions
will doubtless be given careful
consideration by the commission,
and it's problems and deliberations
should be matters of general in

MONTANA'S CRIME
COMMISSION
From the Bozeman Chronicle)

From the Bozeman Chronicle)
Montana's crime commission Is
composed of the able and disting-
uished citizens of Montana, and,
after investigation and considera-
ton, its findings should have great
weight, not only with the members
Of the legislature, but with the
people of the state at large. That
more adequate and effective ma
chinery, both for the detection
and punishment of crimes, are
greatly to be desired, is the sent
iment of practically all of the peo-
pie of the state, but little study
has been given by most citizens
to method through which that
end may be attained.
The commission is approaching
the questions involved with open
minds, but invite a general dis
cussion of the whole matter by the
people of the state, to the end
that they may obtain some indica-
ton of public sentiment on the
subject. Changes in the criminal
code will doubtless come in for
consideration during the delibera-
lions of the commission, and the
eminent ~jurists among the mem
bers of the commission should
enable that body to approach the
matter with an en%lightening ex
perience as their Judge.
Experience, however, has shown
that legislatures are reluctant to
make radical changes in judicial
procedure unless they feel assured
that the sentiment Of the people
they represent is back Of them in
such moves, and it is certain tt
ascertain and crystalize the sent
iment Of the people and arouse
general interest in the subject
that the commission will welcome
public discussion Of the topics tc
b. considered.
Another question that in times
past has sometimes come up for
legislative consideration, without
act1on thereon, Is the matter of
the stste police force. Many of

STUDYING CRIME IN MONTANA

(From the Billings Gazette)
The Montana state crime COM
mission is sincerely trying to
learn the opinions of Montanans
upon situations in this state which
are deemed in need Of remedial
treatment. Throughout the country
there are at present many agen-
cies investigating crime, studying
it and trying to find the cause
of it and a method of bringing a
more healthy social condition. In
this state we do not face extens-
i've conditions Of graft-ridden mu-
nicipal or county politics as found
in some other places; we do not
have police Or sheriffs' depart
ments which appear any more rid
den by politics than they were 20,
30 or 40 years ago; we do not, in
fact, have any waves of murder,
robbery. thievery, smuggling, con
games or other nefarious occupa-
tons. In other words, Montana
does not face an actual crime
situation which is distressing OF
disturbing, yet we have room for
improvement and as the country
as a whole does not face a seri-
Gus situation this state may lend
it's modest efforts in finding a
cure.
D-ohahlu ,ua noD noncidar orr
policing systems sufficient. But
there is a growing sore spot in
the tendencies of some public
prosecutors to go too far in inter
fering with the rights of the indi-
vidual and to use their offices as
collection agencies. The fact that
prosecutors set themselves up as
a sort of grand jury probably is
due to the fact that we have no
workable grand jury system. In
the work of prosecution they lean
over too far. 1t may be because
our district judges cannot com
ment upon evidences that the
prosecutor forgets himself, be-
comes a sleuth, then a relentless
prosecutor" and does not worry
much over his vow to protect the
innocent as well as to prosecute
the wicked.
We do need some changes, ones
will not endanger the in
dividual by putting too much
authority in the hands of a single
person, the prosecutor. We also
need a system whereby the court /
can make comments upon evil
lence without committing revers {
BILE error. We need a system of '
selecting jurors whereby they are '
lot embarrassed or bulldozed, and e
must compel jury service. e
There are many latent dangers in r
system whereby many who do t
lot care to serve are excused.
4astly among the more imperative
hings which the crime commits
ion may consider is the need of I
lore rigid adherence to enforce D
lent of state laws as the enforce 8
lent is intended. We have mar Il
otto laws, vagrancy laws, petty a
arceny laws and in different Il
'arts of the state they are admin 0
stored differently. If the law in Z
ends that fines and Jail or pris- u
n sentences should be meted QUIT e
his should be done everywhere a
instead of one judge suspending G
II such sentences while another G
n some other county inflicts the Y
to the full intent of the c
aw.

NEW YORK, April 18.-With gen.
eral expectations for another sub
stantial drop in brokers loans and
clear indications that there is de-
cided change for the better in time
loans ii will be extremely important
TO learn whether or not the federal
reserve authorities have modified
their strict policy as regards the
credit question. This Of course
should be revealed in the weekly
statement after the close and will
probably receive more attention than
even the extent of the contraction
in loans. The recent firmness in the
bond market suggests the possibility
that the peak in money rates has
passed. Justification for the recent
strength in both the oil and the
steel shares is found in the first
quarterly reports Of Atlantic Refining
and Republic Steel. The improve
ment in earnings compared with a
year ago is so substantial that even
q slight falling off in the latter part
of the year would indicate almost
record breaking earnings for the en-
tire year. We think we have some
basis for anticipating an extension
