TIMBRELL NABBED IN.
BOOZE RAID.
IN EX-JUDGE'S SHACK
Finds a Big Stock of Moon
shine, Home Brew and
Wine

Herchel Timbrell got himself into
a peck of trouble last Thursday night
while tending "'bar' in the recently
opened blind pig back of the Produ-
cers News building This pig and
building are alleged to be owned by
ex-judge John J. McElroy, famous
for his adherency to the principles of
Producers Noosism.
Late that evening while j. J. was
patiently waiting for the first copy
Of the Producers Moose to come off
the press, Timbrell received three
callers, consisting of Sheriff Madsen
and Customs officials Ted Winters
and VIM. Burris. They did not order
any blindness inducing moonshine or
homebrew but proceeded to wreck the
interior by smashing bottles and glas-
es and also breaking up the nice ice
box in which the various moons and
brews were being cooled off.
Ex-judge McElroy came bustling
into the pig as important as a hair
less Mexican prize winner at a dog
show, but that back door did not re-
main occupied more than one split
! second, as we are told the ex-judge
made one flying dive for the tall
weeds and when the officials came
outside to ascertain the hurry, there
was no sign of anything living
around there. About 20 minutes la
ter when Timbrell had been request
ed to visit at the Sherif's hotel over
| night, watchers observed a yellow
streak pulling out of the nettles and
this was seen to flash into another
bunch of pig weed down rear the ell
e~vators.
Mr.. Timbrell was bound over to
Federal Court the next morning and
abatement proceedings will be insti-
tuted against the premises so that
the neighborhood will again be al
most liveable.
Mr.. Winters was in Plentywood on
Monday looking for the ex-judge who
is still in the tall weeds, or it may
be in the tall timber by this time.

bounds, not only in Montana but all
over the nation, but in Sheridan
County we will get some relief now.
Owing to the sinking fund levies
having been dropped for three sue
cessive years during the Red admin
istration, in order to be able to meet
the full payment of the bonds in
1884 an additional levy of 13 mills
would have been necessary this year
and each year hereafter, and we be-
lieve that the Commissioners used
good headwork when they decided
that the County would be better off
to float a small bond issue when the
present bonds become due, and pay
them in this way and spreading the
payments over a longer period of
years.

For Radio Users
Radio Fans Willing To Coop
crate To Stop Radio
Rackets

The Montana-D Dakota Power Com
pany has secured the services of one
of the best radio interference experts
in the Northwest who will make q
thorough survey of radio trouble in
every city and town serve by the Hi
line, and will tell the users of such
trouble making devices just what they
should do to eliminate the trouble
for themselves as well as for the
neighborhood radios.
This party will be in Plentywood in
the near future and we hope that his
visit will result in much good towards
clearing up the many new noise ma
kers that have appeared since the last
survey was made last spring.
1t is high time that all interfering
devices be placed under control in
Plentywood as the Radio season when
everyone likes to listen in is almost
here.

County car pat themselves on the
back this year and thank their lucky
stars that they will not have a tax
burden such as Roosevelt County will
have.
We learn on good authority that
the County levy for taxes in that
county was increased % mills this
wear over that of 1929.
In Sheridan County the County
levy is four mills less than in 1929.
Taking these things into consider
alton and also from the further fact
that in 1929 our average school lev
les decreased eight per cent with no
appreciate increase this year, that
our taxes will be low in comparison
with neighboring Counties.

Border Patrolman Jensen
Leaves For Opheim Post

John Jensen, Senior Border Partol-
man who has been stationed in the
Plentywood territory for the past
year, has been transferred to Opheim,
where he lived for many years, and
where he was stationed previous to
being transferred here.
Mr.. Jensen made a host of friends
while here. He was always a gentle
mar showing the utmost courtesy to
all whether they were violators OF
the boundary laws or not. A Border
Patrol made up of such men as Mr..
Jensen would be more than a rival to
the Northwest Mounted Police, and we
regret having him leave us, but know
that he will be better satisfied living
in his W home and where he knows
everybody. However; we trust that
the mar who comes here to take his
place is of the same calibre as Mr..
Jensen and Mr.. Pickard, who will
continue to be stationed here.

The Plentywod golf bugs who spec

derful score they had yesterday"
are now divided between two loves
golf and ducks.
The players therefore decided to
have a duck feed tournament, the Win
ming golf team to be allowed to bring
home a bag of ducks as soon as the
season opens, and the losers to put
on an elaborate duck dinner and pay
for it.
Last Sunday morning, loaded with
all the golf paraphenalia possible to
carry around without the use of cad
dies the two teams went to the local
golf links to exact tribute from each
other.
Mckee Passes Into 100 Class
The play was very cautious at
first, but as the game warmed up the
playing became fast and furious, and
according to the report brought here
Mckee brought home the Duck feed
for the Koenig team by batting bet
ter than 100. Here are the alleged

BY WILLIAM HARD.

LONDON, March Important as
the naval conference is, the economic
and trade developments of the British
Empire, underlying the British naval
demands, are still more important and
revolutionary. Great Britain really sus-
tains the whole burden of the naval
defense of the empire, and yet cannot
command or control the trade of the
dominions, or even the crown colonies.
The most remarkable spectacle in the
history of any empire is the new polit-
zeal party formed here by Lord Rother-
mere and Lord Beaverbrook to unite all
OF the British Empire inside a tariff
wall against the imports of non British
goods. The party seems destined to be
q total failure at the present time, be-
cause even the crown colonies in Africa,
Asia and the West Indies have Legis-
latures which insist on raising their
revenues through import taxes on Brit
ish as well as non-British commodities
India, in particular, which is the
largest potential market for BRITISH
goods within the British Empire, has
its own tariff system, which it uses to
promote and develop Indian manufac-
lures and not British.
X x
The cotton mills OF Lancashire today
are suffering from a bad depression and
are keenly DESTROYS of the Indian trade,
but simultaneously the cotton mills of
India are demanding additional tariff
protection against any and all cotton
imports into India and are likely to
get it from the Indian government.
Since the conclusion of the war the
average of tariff duties against British
goods in non-British countries has not
advanced, on the whole, but within the
British Empire tariff duties imposed by
the dominions and the crown colonies
against British goods have advanced an
average OF so per cent.
These dominions and crown colonies,
by and large, contribute nothing to the
cost of the British feet, and, in addi-
ton, most of them decline to give any
decisive preference to British goods.
Painful questions have been asked in
the British House Of Commons because
the Council of Jamaica is ordering rail-
road cars not from Britain, but from the
United States, and because the South AZ
ricAn government railroad administration
is ordering locomotives not from Britain,
but from Germany. Replying to such
questions, the spokesman of the gov
eminent in the House of Commons point
out that London cannot hope to control
Jamaica or South Africa.
u " n
All immediate hope, therefore, of re-
viving British prosperity by the politi-
cal method of welding the British En-
pire by legislative tariff into one unit
would seem to be In vain. Hence the
growing sentiment here to put q tariff
wall around Britain itself In respect to
certain industries. This Is already
effected In regard to motor cars, with
apparent good results. The motor In
dustry is active and exports of British
cars are increasing.

The Cost of Injustice.

Researches now in progress by the
Presidents Crime Commission will pre-
sumably bring to light ways and means
of improving judicial practices. to the
end of expediting justice and giving
more certain effect to the laws. It 3
patent that the prevalence of crime in
this country is due in large measure
to the inefectiveness of the courts,
through faults of prosecution, through
leisurely proceedings, and through the
granting of every possible chance to the
accused to escape upon technicality.
On the other hand, IN some jurisdic-
tons positive injustice and injury are
inflicted upon those who are not even
suspect, those who are themselves COM
plainants against lawbreakers. The de-
lays Of justice not only deny them their
rights of restitution but actually impose
penalties upon them.
Illustrative cases of this sort are cited
in the Panel" q publication of the AS
ISOLATION of Grand Jurors of New York
County, devoted to the exchange Of
views Of public officials and citizens "in
the effort to prevent crime and secure
the true administration of justice.
Brief recital Of two Of these cases will
perhaps afford an illustration of the
perversity of the law. or rather of the
manner in which the law is applied.

boza was robbed at the New York water
front of. ten or fifteen dollars. Oscar

Pierson was arrested for the crime. The
sailor was about to leave for France
on the ship employing him. A magis-
trate directed his detention as q mate
rial witness, as he was unable TO furnish
the necessary bond to appear in prose-
cutlon' He was committed April Is,
1927, and was held as a material wit
ness until January 4, 1928, more than
eight months. Unfortunately, the Panel
article does not relate the DISPOSE
ton OF the case, whether Barboza got
his pilfered cash or Pierson was con-
vieted and punished.
A notorious person named NARROW
was murdered in New York City.
1gnace Coppa, who owned a restaurant.
requiring his personal attention, was
held as material witness and was de-
tanned from June %. 1929, to July 80,
1929 more than month. For lack of
his personal oversight, his business was
seriously damaged The MARROW case
had not been tried when the Panel was
printed, Nor is there any record or
suggestion to show that Coppa recovered
from the State any part of his losses
in business.
These are but incidental instances of
the Migrant injustice done by the law
in some of tiio jurisdictions In this
country. There are repeated cases of
witnesses compelled to 60 day after day
to courts, awaiting the call of the cases
in which they are summoned, losing
time from business, losing heavily in
money, and not in any degree compen-
stated by the trining fees they draw as
witnesses. There are countless cases of
jurors entangled in the meshes of the
law in long drawn-out trials and suits,
serving at pittances for months while
their affairs 60 all awry.
This is an aspect of the laws delays
that is not often mentioned when the
indictment against the system of Amer
lean criminal Jurisprudence is recited.
The cost of justice in the United States
is heavy one. The cost Of injustice Is
even heavier,

A Challenge to America.

The Wood brothers, Gar and George,
famous opponents Of motor-boat racing,
will have to look to their laurels as
holders of world records on the water
for America, II the plans of two noted
British pilots reach q successful culnai-
nation. Advices from England state
that two fast boats are now being con-
strueted, one for Maj. Sir Henry
Segrave and the other for Miss Betty
Carstairs TO challenge American suprem-
acy In the next British international
trophy race. one of the blue-ribbon
events of boating. Each craft will have
two specially designed airplane engines
Of enormous horsepower and speed
of one hundred miles an hour has been
set rs the goal. The present record is
held by Gar Wood with Miss America
VII at slightly more than ninety-two
miles an hour.
This is interesting news from the
British Isles. especially in view of the
fact that Maj. Segrave, in spite of heavy
obstacles, successfully challenged the
American-held automobile speed record
only year ago at Daytona Beach, Fla.
When Mai. Segrave arrived in this
country with his monster creation of
one thousand horsepower the record
was two hundred and seven miles an
hour. When he left the glistening white
smooth beach at Daytona the record
had been boosted to more than two
hundred and thirty-one miles an hour.
On the same trip the Britisher brought
with him sleek speed boat powered
with the same motor as his automobile.
It was his aim to carry both land and
water records back with him to Eng
land; but in this he was frustrated. At
Miami after he had concluded his SEN
sational automobile run he was forced
to bow to Gar Wood in the worlds
champion boat, which again reached a
speed Of better than ninety miles an
hour. Miss England, the British craft.
did not perform up to expectations and
was easily outdistanced by the veteran
American racer in his seventh Miss
America.
The next challenge to American
water supremacy was made by Miss Car
stairs at Detroit in the Harnesworth
race last Summer; but the Wood broth
ers were successful in holding the
championship. That Miss Carstairs

Economic Trend in Britain Away
so From Governmental PaternaIism

ever, Is generally hostile to the tariff
system, which, nevertheless, is more and
more advocated by the Conservative
party. The Tories hope soon to return
to power, since the Labor government
has been unable to prevent the steady
increase in unemployment and at the
same time has encountered a considerable
demand from labor union circles for q
new scheme called the family allow
ance" which would give each family,
out of government funds, an allowance
for each child and which would cost the
British treasury $700,00O000 q year.
This general method to solve economic
difficulties by more governmental pa
ternalism and achieve prosperity
through increased taxation may per-
haps have had its day in Britain and
may pass gradually into decline and
disuse.
The most remarkable feature in the
British situation to American eyes is
the tenor of the speeches of the Socialist
minister of employment, j. II. Thomas,
who enjoys the title of lord privy seal
His experience in attacking the unem-
ployment problem seems to be convert
ing him into q strong anti-Socialisk.
Speaking at Birmingham lately, he said,
Zone has only to visit the British in
dustrieS fair and see the skilled genius
exhibited there to realize how ridiculous
Is the theory unfortunately held by q
large number Of people in this country
that the government can solve the prob
lem of unemployment" Also, speaking
at London, he said, "There Is nothing
deplore more than the modern tendency
of all classes to look always to the Cow
eminent for help"
Finally. speaking to the Pottery and
Glass Trade Benevolent Institution, this
spokesman for Socialist class war
government, said, IF we are to main
tain the social standards of this coun-
try we can do so only by q clear
recognition that the old lines Of de-
marcation between labor and capital
must disappear and all classes must
work together in common purpose"
This outright adoption Of American
economic principles by O British So
cialist statesman Is perhaps the most
significant political event In Britain In
recent years. As q result, the class
war theory and that of governmental
paternalism may recede here to the
limits within which they are still kept
in America, This is another sign that
the British Conservatives may some
day soon again have q majority and
the United States in naval matters
may once more find itself dealing with
. pro-navy British Conservative gov
eminent.
In the Judgment of this writer, it is
not wise to be certain of any outright
Socialist Britain coming into existence
as the actual outcome; on the con-
trary, it may be o capitalistic Britain
built on the American model. This
would imply the breaking of of rela-
lions with Russia and would In many
other ways establish identical policies
in Britain and the United States.
