The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1930-04-11

ed Only few took the trouble of voting. The
90 extra mills were voted down-What's the use
voting more taxes when you are not able to pay
the taxes anyway? Better close the school and
be done with 1t, what do care THAT is what
the election said.
One school trustee was to be elected. Some vot-
ed for Franc Murray, some for Albert Foley and
some for Fritz" Fred Marshs dog. The report
is that Franc Murray had little the best of it in
the three cornered race and was elected. People
didn't care. Albert Foley, Franc Murray or
Fritz" Fred Marsh's dog-it was all the same
10 them.
The city election did not create any more inter
est. A few voted and nobody cared about the
result. Probably Fritz" was elected, and who
cares? Things going to the dogs all around
anyway, just let er go. To hell with it.
When you see all the bunk going on all around
you, is it any wonder people are getting to feel
just the way they are? Disguised. There is Hoo
with his prosperity bunk while half the nation
with little nothing to eat are looking for jobs
and can not find them.
There is the federal farm board coming along
with bunk about helping the farmer, while
wheat and everything else the farmer has to sell
is going down. down, right along, and no hope for
anything better in sight.
Then comes along the federal seed loan which
is turning out to be just that much more bunk.
Thousands of farmers have looked forward to it
as their only hope of living through another year.
Then, when it does come, it turned out to be so
most simply can't get it.
Some place in Europe bunch of sikhatters have
been sitting for months chewing the rag about dis
armament without any result, and nobody ever ex-
pected any result. Everybody knew it was moth
ing but a fake show put on TO fool the people.
In Washington there are senatorial investigation
committees appointed everlastngly, but you never
hear of any result or any good coming out Of them.
Just that much more bunk which people must pay
for in some way.
The prohibition fake is another package of
hooey handed to the people, which it looks like
they are not going to stand for very much longer.
The rich peoples taxes going down while
the poor peoples taxes going up and up all the
time: the same gasoline and everything else the
poor man must buy.
Fake court terms and political shows are put up
right before own eyes by county Of
ficials and charged up to the people.
Dr. Storkan making big spiel before the COM
mercial club about what money he has been saving
for the people Some said it sounded like Amos
and Andy counting: One million, two million-then
when you read the commissioners proceedings, you
where this money saving DR.. is getting $125.00
per month for being the county health doctor ana
whenever he does little actual work for the coun-
ty he is charging it up extra. Last month he got
S125 for being health doctOr-whatever that is
and $62.50 for working
Is it any wonder that people get sick and tired
and Disguised and vote for Fritz" Fred Marsh's
dog. Of course voting for "Fritz' is not going to
solve anything. If the farmers and workers don't
get together and elect people of their class all
the way up and down the line, then there is no
hope for them. They might as well give up and
vote for "Fritz." They can expect even a little
more from "Fritz" than they can from Hoover &
Co. A DAGMAR FARMER.
