CITY GOVERNMENT ON TRIAL
(From Great Falls Tribune)

Gangster and racketeers appear to have a strangehold on
Chicago. Recent reports indicate that New York will suffer a
similar fate if this form of social leprosy be not vigorously dealt
with.
The extent to which the racket octopus already has fastened
its tentaces on trade and industry in Americas greatest city is
startlingy illustrated in the statement of District Attorney Grain,
who says that the terrorists are leyying tribute even upon the
babys milk and the funeral procession as we'll as upon the de-
livery Of shipments by truck, laundHes, shopkeepers and the
like. Theatrical musicians who do not pay the 50 a night assess
ed by the racketeers are likely to wake up in the hospital and
shopkeepers who balk at what is required of them see their
plate glass windows smashed.
The federal government has been appealed to, but it can
move consttutionally only by embarrassing the criminals
through the narcotic regulations, the Volstead act, the income
tax returns and the Mann act. 1t is up to the big cities to secure
protection through their own municipal governments with pos
sibe state aid.
Although the local government of most great cities is both
inefficient and corrupt, those in charge re now facing an I'M
usual test of their courage. power and local patriotism. They
must fight and fight hard in very ~selfdefense.
The American city cannot afford to surrender to an unofficial
and criminal sovereignty in its midst. Much will depend on the
issue of the battle between the governments of great cities and
a defiant, insolent and INSCRIPTIONS bandtry.

CRIME AND THE TIMES

While trying to account for the cost of government, high taxes.
expense of living, business depression and the general outofbalance
Of things in general let's not overlook robberies, fires, murders, dis
regard for law and weakly checked crime of all sorts. It all means
a staggering bill of expense to pay with no return or benefit, and a
fabulous amount of money snatched from the legitimate channels of
trade and diverted to the underworld. The menacng thing grows bold
at the slightest sign of temporizng, timidiy or liberation. The boot
logger of today is the bank robber of next month, who finally gets
killed or imprisoned and the county takes care of his family. Robberies

attitude on crime and the attitude of the legislature toward the report
of the State Crime Commission will be watched with interest.

SPORT FOR YOUTH BUT SAFETY FIRST

Efforts of the mayor and police to forestall lamentable accidents
and insure greater safety for children on the streets will no doubt
receive the approval and commentator of parents and virtually all
others. What will be still better is the prompt and firm administration
of kindly advice and parental authority by way of cooperating with
civic authorities and their regulations.
Catching on is great sport but like everything that involves
danger should be hedged about by caution and a sane consideration for
Safety First"
In winter outdoor sports are not plentiful in this region and life
without it's due portion of fun gets drab. This is what induced several
organizations to join forces for building an ice rink for the kiddies.
Another commendable enterprise in which Mayor Swedberg was a
prime mover

she concealed Wick in her home
after his return from Kalispell.
Wick did not know whether or not

in the county Jail under bonds Of
$500.

part Of confession about cache
of money was cut out.)
MI. Olson has made me no
promises as to what he would do
and hasn't told me what the re-
suit would be, more than he
thought that by making a clean
confession that it might tighten
the sentence. He has never told
me how much, told me he had no
idea what the sentence would be
but he really thought in his W
mind it would help. The banker
of Nashua said that he was sure
it would make a difference In
bringing the money back. This is
my full and voluntary confession.

Taylor this this job would never
have been in my head because [
