LITERARY pIGEsT's POLL

The Literary Digest is now sending out 2OOOOOOO ballots 10
that many citizens of the country for the purpose OF a straW Vote
on the question of prohibition. The ballots are arranged for secret
voting with no name signed, no strings or obligation. The person
receiving a ballot may vote any one of three ways: For prohlDltoh
as it now stands in the 18th amendment but Will strict enforce
ment; for an amendment to the Volstead law allowing light wines
md beer: and for repeal of the 18th amendment. A wine and beer
amendment would amount to partial notification of the 18th amend
ment Tremendous interest is being shown in this great PROBE OF
nubHc opnion. The result will have great moral weight but has
no legal force.

PRESIDENT HOOVER SAYS

"Om laws are made by the people themselves. Theirs
is the right to repeal; but until repeal it is an equal duty
to observe them and demand their enforcement"
"The first duty of the President under his oath Of Of
flee is to secure the enforcement of the laws-if the law
is upheld only by Government officials, then all law is at
an end"
His attitude may be obscure, but it cannot conceal
the ugly truth that the lawbreaker, whoever he may be,
is the enemy of society

HARD ON DRUNKEN DRIVERS

(From the Hill County Journal, Havre)
In New York State a law has recently been enacted which pro-
hbts forever a drunken driver from operating a cal if and after he
has twice been convicted for causing an accident in which any person
is injured. Every state should follow this lead, but abolish the
provision of injury, a it should not be necessary for an innocent
person to be injured in order that one of these fools may have his
license revoked. Drunkenness should be enough to bar anyone
from operating a car.

Some very caustic criticism is heard, principally from the booze
advocates, about congressman and private citizens who vote dry at
every opportunity but who are not entirely dry in their private
habits. Such inconsistent people are certainly open to criticism but
they are still about 800 percent above the allwets in their rating
as good citizens. The world is full of people whose hearts are
right but whose flesh is weak.

Under our political system Americans get just about the sort
of government they select for themselves. This applies to cities as
well as every other division of government-Montana Record Herald.

CRIME is RAMPANT.
in WOLF POINT.
CITIZENS ALARMED

Especial to The Producers News
Wolf Point.-The crime situation
here is beginning to give decent
citizens cause for alarm. Despite |
the efforts of the Wolf Point Her
aid, notorious underworld sheet, in
league with the criminal elements
and the type of faker represented
by Hugh Marion, to keep the lid
on the doings of the burglars, : hill
jackers, pimps and bootleggers
that infest this cess-pool of cor
ruption, the facts are seeping out.
Wolf Point is no longer considered
safe place for an unarmed per-
son.
That Wolf Point is one of the
big centers of the dope traffic in
Northeastern Montana, was sug-
gested two weeks ago when rob-
beers who invaded the labryinthian
Processes of the Huxsol drug store
got away with large quantities of
narcotics. Huxsol was out about
one thousand dollars worth of
dope and cheap jewelry. ~ $
Home of Hugh Marion 0a
Wolf Point, along with being
the centre of the criminal ring on
the Main Line between Minot and
Havre, the latter, Harry Folks
headquarters, is also noted for be-
ing the home of Hugh Marion, for
mer county attorney, who was de-
feated in the recent primaries.
Marron's chief claim to fame is
that he succeeded in convicting
: and hanging a poor idiot four
: years ago and gloated over his
victory" 1t was after that hang
ing that several prominent Main
Streeters of Plentywood, fought
over pieces of the rope that broke
the idiots neck. Those gentlemen
{ snarled and barked at each other
as they clawed for the hemp which

"In western North Dakota and
Montana, the purchasing power of
the farmers will be reduced sub

yields of grain in this territory
will not be so effective as the de-
clines in grain and livestock prices

"The terminal market prices OF
grains range from slightly above
500 of the 1929 levels fer rye to
about 500, except for the corn
prices. The country elevator price,
however, is proportionately lower,
as the same freight, transporta-
ton and handling charges prevail
as when prices were at the levels
of a year ago.

are only about 60 per cent of the
levels of a year ago; rye, hardly

year ago.
