CRAZED WITH LlQUOR


Down in Texas a former Judge
in that state, one of the promin
ent attorneys of the common
wealth, faces a charge of murder
He stabbed a girl to death after
a drinking bout. He is credited
with preparing a defense based
on temporary insanity. The de.
PENDANT admits no knowledge OF
the deed Or recollection of the
incident. 1t is urged in extenua-
ton of his crime that he was Graz
ed with liquor.
How seriously a Texas court
will take such a plea we have no
idea. But it certainly would be
an unfortunate precedent to es-
tablish in criminal cases. The es-
cape from responsibility for ones
acts that would be made possible
by acceptance of such a theory
could not be viewed calmly.
There is a great deal of bunk
about the talk of poison liquor
these days. We have short mem
cries If we do not realize that al
cohol only too often destroys mo-
mentarfIy knowledge and self con-
troll and its use results in actions
that would not have been taken
if the actor were not under it's
influence. That was true when
the so-ca1led good pre-war stuff
was available for use as we'll as
today when men take chances

Judge probably was. But he had no
to feel any assurance be-
ore he reached that stage that

THE BOARD AND THE eARoNs

Prospects appear to be good for
a fierce battle between the Fed
eral Farm board, with Alexander
Legge at its head, and the termin-
al market grain operators, (not the
primary market grain buyers).
America probably has no shrewd-
er body of businessmen than the
grain operators in Minneapolis,
Duluth and Chicago. For years
untold they have had the grain
market to a large extent in their
own control. Grades, market fluc-
tuations and storage conditions
have been manipulated to the
large advantage of the operators
while the growers were the goats.
Too often, like in the present
year, the operators have over
played their hands. The grain
belt has been hurt until farming
is Improbable and unpopular.
Not the farmers alone, but the
business of the whole Northwest
has been slowed up through short
prices for what the country pro
duces. The situation has forced
legislation by congress. The grain
men have made a fine start to-
ward killing their goose that laid
them golden eggs.
1t will be a commercial drama
worth watching to follow the
game of wits that will decide if
the Presidents new farm board,
with Legge in command, can
wrest control from the we'll in
trenched grain barons, Stabilize
prices and get farmers a more
just and surer price for their
products. 1t is reported tie grain
men will appeal to the President
for protection against rough treat
ment by the Federal board. It {
will be surprising if they get any t
satisfaction there. The President
will be perfectly willing to leave a
his new board a free hand in
solving the knotty problem turn
ed over to them. 2

or Nye of North Dakota, has
come to grips with a farm foe OF
great strength and influence. The

WINNING A HEALTH BATTLE

A remarkable advance in pub.
lie health work has been achieved
in the organized battle against tu-
berculosis in Montana.
A score of years ago "the great
white plague" took an appalling
loss of life in the Treasure State.
1t stood at the head of the NOR
tally tables as the cause of death.
And it was the more terrible be-
cause its victims were young and
middle-aged folk, breadwinners of
families, and potential citizens of
value to the community.
Today tuberculosis stands fifth
in the list of mortality in Mon
tana. Effective, scientific methods
Of treatment and the education OF
the public to a knowledge of the
symptoms and imperative need OF
prompt treatment have reduced
the death rate from this disease
to an amazing extent.
And for this. splendid record
the Christmas seal of the Mon.
tana tuberculosis association has
been largely responsible, for it
has raised the money to carry on
the fight against tuberculosis in
Montana for the past fifteen
years.
The Montana tuberculosis as
sociation, despite its large public
service, asks but little in the way
of public assistance. Once a year

We doubt it. That is, we doubt
that there are enough cars in

ed. And the reason we doubt it
is this.
For some years the state of
California has been making a de-
liberate bid for the registration
of out-of-the-state automobiles I'M
der California licenses. To this
end, it has made it's registration
fee the lowest in the country.
This year. for example, it costs
only So to register and attach a
set of California plates, good for
one year, to an automobile.
What is the result? We all
know that this has induced thou
sands of thrifty but INSCRIPTIONS
car owners in other coast and in
termountain states to take out
California licenses, in defiance of
the fact that they are actually
owned and operated elsewhere,
with the object of saving them
anywhere from SO to SIS.
Here in Montana, the practice
became so general that the po-
ice of Butte and other cities and
he sheriffs of several counties
ound it necessary to inaugurate
drives against these lawbreak-
rs. with the result that many

Naturally vcrybody is keenly
interested in Edison's announce
ment that he has been successful
in extracting rubber from the
much sneezed at prairie flower
the golden-rod. And naturally ev-
erybody is interested in the price
which just now is very satisfac-
tory-about 16 cents a pound. And
Edison says his experiments show
that rubber can be manufactured
at about 16 cents a pound. Rub
Der sold at AN cents a pound in
January, 1928. The fellow who had
to buy a set of balloons for his
phaeton knew his tires were in
flated with something besides
wind. The high for rubber in
1929 was reached in February, last
-26.70 cents per pound. On the
stock market break last month
rubber dropped below the 16-cent
level. And we learn that the Wis
ible supply is ample to keep the
price about where it is, regardless
of Mr.. Edison's success in artific-
ial rubber experiments. While
there have been several attempts

EDITORIALS ON THE CRIME
SITUATION
CRIMINALS
(From the Glasgow Courier


Chief Justice Taft recently said
that before a criminal can be pun.
ished he first must be caught,
and it seems sensible that any
effort directed toward curbing
crime in this country should
start with measures to improve
our police machinery. General use
of the automobile has increased
opportunities for escape, and in
a sparsely populated state like
Montana. where considerable time
mitted before that fact becomes
known, it is possible for the fe1on
to make a clean getaway before
any one takes up his trail.
Within the last few years
northern Montana has been the
scene of many robberies-in
banks, grain elevators, stores, and,
in at least one instance, a court
house-and a majority Of these
thieves have never been caught,
unless they were apprehended, in
some otter locality because Of
some other o%ffense.
This situation has turned the
thought of many people to the
necessity of a state constabulary
AN organization of trained men
scattered about the state to up
plement the activities of sheriffs
and city police in running down
criminals. Whether Montana is
ready from the economic stand
point to take on such an expense
is something for a competent body
of men, such Is the crime COM
mission, to determine. But the
need of a special force of this
character is obvious.
If a constabulary of this sort
were to be organized in Montana,
it should be patterned after the
state police forces of some of the
eastern commonwealth where the
idea has worked out successfully.
1t should not be a political or
.ganization. Rather it should be
composed of men who are our
ageous and have had considerable
experience in ferriting out crime.
They should be appointed for
their fitness, and it should be inn
possible to remove them for pO-
litical reasons.
Frequently a major crime is
committed in a small community
that battles the local police offic-
ers. They try hard enough to solve
it, but they are not equipped
the skill and intelligence of
master criminal. The county
has no funds with which to en-
special Investigators, so the
deed remains unsolved and the
perpetrator of it unknown and un-
punished.
The right kind of state constab-
ulary would meet this situation
by furnishing the assistance of
Investigators and could
the trail of the criminal
it might lead; that Is,
the constabularly would not have
to recognize county boundary
in its chase.
Unquestionably, the more GER
tain the state a make the ap-
p~rehension of offenders against
society, the less inclined these
offenders will be to operate in
