THE HERALD REGRETS STRIFE

The Plentywood Herald regrets the strife of the
pas-diffcutes that occurred long before its present
management identified with Plentywood and which
at the best concern of his of the paper at
the present time.
The Herald regrets all of this much that in order
to show its sorrow it digs all the old stuff scent
out of the grave with utmost joy-for the good of the
community? Oh, no! What then?
For the only and sole purpose of rejuvenating pre-
JUDGES and rekindling flames that may boil its
financial pot: because not doing well it might be
doing as it had hoped and being disappointed be-
certain longed-for calamates did not occur to
the Producers News overtime blowing its breath
into old sparks inspired by the belief that any
rection of old peeves will put gold in its Golfers.
The papers lack of success is disclosed by its agon
lied walls.
That's satisfaction.
Let hope that the Heralds efforts continue fruit
less though it does cause pain in the Heralds
"tummy."
The Producers News has been through lots of fights
of one sort another-fghts in which the other fell
low often got a mouthful while we were getting
mea-in which the opponents never did suffer for
want of assistance such the Herald might have fur
nished
When the Herald says that the Producers News ever
fought worthy local enterprise it tells what it knows
to be untrue. When it says that the Producers News
ever fought the Sheridan Memorial Hospital or ever
tried to discredt that institution it is publishing what
it knows is false in every word Let the Herald pro-
duce one word in the Producers News derogatory to
that institution contrariy the Producers News has
given generously of its space to the support of that
charity-and also to the support of the community
hospital at Outlook
perusal of the columns of the Producers News will
disclose thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of
free space given to every imaginable sort of commni
" enterprise, and given intellectually and svmpa
tnetcay long years before the present owner of the
Herald ever came into Sheridan county, The Herald
well knows this-but the paper would profit nv ner
suadmg people that the contrary were true and would
Dy reopening old Sores catch few drops of blood in
its cup.
The Herald has been suggesting by way of "leopard
spots ct cetera editorials that the business peope of
Plentywood boycott the Producers News
For what reason?
80 that the Producers News be DESTROYED: SO that

In a confidential statement among
military and naval officials, Harold "

from New Jersey has said: 1T is To-.

industrial soldiers is no less import

Hoffman is a member of the House
Military committee, lingo, bank

Forts activity in behalf of the bill

tain. Reorganization of government
departments the better to serve for
elgn investors, naturalization of the
oil INDUSTRY, efficiency programs for
the munition makers.
The last two are of the utmost sig
nificaLce. They are really war moves
behind the screen of the many impos-
ing peace pacts which are now the
order OF the day among the govern
ments of the world.
Much is being said of the new Hoov-
er policy against further oil leasing.
But tile real facts are kept from the
public and from the press. Just be-
fore the announcement of his policy,
Hoover held week end series of
conferences with a certain Mr.. Mark
l.. Requa. The few newspaper men
who know who Mr.. Requa is either
have kept silent or their accounts were
not printed by their papers.
Mr.. Requa is one of the most influ-
entail of Hoover's advisors, long a
personal friends of the president and
during the war one of his assistants
In the Food Administration. Later
Mr.. Requa became director of the Ruel
ACmnlst1a alton and a consulting en-
glneer If the Bureau of Mines. Then
he graduated" to become Vice-Pres-
ident of the Sinclair Consolidated Oil
CORPORATION. When the oil began to
spout over the Harding cabinet, Mr..
Requa got from under the Sinclair
flow. For the past few years he has
become respectable. He has been go
ing over the country preaching con-
aervation and urging government CO.
operation with the oil interests, but
always as a Consulting Engineer"
Mr.. Requa's main theme has been
for the government 10 get behind the
oil interests, to unite them, to eiimin-
ate the excessive competition of the
small producers, ito latiOnalizC" the
industry and then-to right the Brit
ish oil monoplies. Five /; ears ago
Requa predicted publicly that sooner
or later the United States would have
to undertake naval race with Eng

urged oil conservation" This has

Your Government at Washington
StSESE3
By Penman Slave

Washington.-Farm relief as plan.
ned by the new Hoover administers
ton is due to disillusion few million
tillers OF the soil who voted for the
great efficiency engineer last Novem.
Der. AS outlined by Senator Nc
Nary, Chairman of the Senate Agri-
cultural Committee, the new farm re-
lief bill now being prepared is half
joke and half joker-both on the
farmer.
Important relief will be enacted
Senator McNary declared in a radio
speech last week end. "Without
question, tariff bill, fashioned ade-
quately to protect the producers of
farm products against ruinous for
eign competition, will be passed." he
said. That part is. the joker. How
raising the tariff on imports when in
good" times the farmer in the Unit
ed States produces more than the city
workers have money enough to take
off the market much as they need the
food, the Republican Solon did not
explain. Nor will Mr.. Hoover.
Then there is the joke. "Since no
small part of the difficulties" said
McNary, during the past several
years have grown out of operation of
SURPRISES, every effort should be
made to prevent the damaging effects
OF overproduction through a better
adjustment of supply to market re-
quirements."
Ii that means anything at all, ii
means that the only salvation for tbs
farmer is to produce less food, sup
plies, corn, wheat, etc. In other
words, pay for bad seasons. Mr.. Nc
Nary's plan "calls for the energetic
support by the Congress of price an
alysls and outlook work. 1t calls for
intensive craftsmanship of outlook in
formation"
From the equalization fee to out
look information. This is the pro-
gress of the great farm reliever. Out
look information, this is the inevitable
outcome of the misplaced confidence
IN big business minded farm "repre-
sentatives."
Hearings on the new farm relief
bill will be taken up March 25th
Two weeks of testimony will be tax
en-. Everybody from Portland TO
rortiand will be here to put himself on
record before the Senate Agriculture
committee. Everybody but the far
mer and his city cousin who has not
sne money out of his wages to buy
from the farmer what the city work
er needs most: food.

intends to do nothing of consequence

as much for their service as are COM
mercial and industrial users in Ontar-
10. But they do not know this"
King then asks Ferguson, a New
Highlander, to explain, if there be no
power trust in the United States, why
Ferguson is so anxious to persuade
the public that the Alabama Power
company is not making a big profit
from the power it buys at Muscle
Shoals. Also, why Ferguson is so
alarmed at the prospect of govern
ment development of power at Boul-
der Dam, 300 miles from Hartford.
"Can it be-" asks King, "that
you fear that the example of cheap
power rates Through public opera
ton at Muscle Shoals and Boulder
Dam would start an agitation for
cheaper power rates in New Eng
land?"
Going into the claims made on be-
half of private ownership and opera
ton in the electric power and light.

rate of 1.31137 cents per kilowat
hour. The Ontario rate for indus
trial current, for that year, wa
1929 cents. This means that,
industrial consumers in the Unite
States had secured their power at tn
Ontario rate, they would have save
$28,819,000 in the year 1926.
Domestic, commercial and stree
light, in 1926, brought to privat
companies in the United States

WHY PUBLIC OWNERSHIP IS
BOLSHEVISM?
(FrOm the Fresno, California, News

The Holland tunnel, double bore, taking vehicles un
der the Hudson river to and from New York Citv i,
owned jointly by the states of New York and New Jer
sey.
1t began operations about year ago and has trans
united an average of about $4,000 cars per dav-at
east oO3O more than were expected to use it in that
time. By present calculations, the bore will paw for
itself in ten years.
II 1t We're private enterprise" the owners probably
would celebrate that event by raising tolls But this
case of public ownership When the tunnel I naid e.
tolls will be abolished
Now we know why public utility interests saw that
public ownership is 'bolshevism"
