FLATTERY : FRENCH
FOOLS
By Hans Rasmussen

With big headlines the papers
come out and tell US that Frank
French has written a letter to the
State Highway Commission and
County Labor on Road Planned"
That sounds good to the poor far
mers and unemployed people in
Sheridan cunty. 1t sounds as tho
Frank French is doing his best
trying to create jobs for the un-
employed and farmers.
Frank is doing nothing of the
kind: he is just trying to fool the
people. He knows that jobs are
what we need, and would like to
make us believe he is doing his
best to create work and wages for
us. When he wrote that letter to
the Highway Commission, he knew
well enough that his suggestions
would not be accepted.
His suggestions were that the
building of the State Highway
should be let on contract 10 local
people and farmers in sections of
from one to three miles. Of course,
the Highway Commission could
not accept anything as foolish as
that, having half a dozen or more
outfits without experience and
tools building a road, so the propo-
sitiOn was politely turned down,
Frank French knew too that not
a man in the county has tools
with which he could build a mile
of highway. He just wanted to
pretend that he had tried to dc
something for the people.
We understand that the highway
from Froid 10 Medicine Lake anc
also from Antelope to PlentywooC
is going to be built during this
year. We have written to Helena
to find out when these contract:
are being let, but have received M
answer yet. The Producers News
has at various times advocated tina
the county should bid on and tr!
to get this work. We have a
times taken it up with the Com
|. mercial Club, thinking they woul'
; be interested TO help push it thru
!. but neither the Commercial Clul
; nor the County Commissioners ev
, er showed any signs of co-opera
/ ton in this matter.
The objection has always bee
! raised that it would be necessar
i to call a special election in orde
a to authorize the county to do thi
work. What of it? Practical
: every voter in the county will vot
for it. An election will probabl
= cost a thousand dollars, but
rs to 100 thousand dollars coul
h be earned and spent by the pee
: pie in the county, that thousan
would be a good investment.
Expecting anything to be dor
1 by the present administration an
the Commercial Clubs is useles
1t is up TO the farmers and worl
J ers to solve their own problem
If we want the county to bid {
| the highway contract At is up
us to see that it is done. Othe
/ wise we can sit and suck ol
thumb while some outsiders RI
away with it.
i 1t is very nice of the Highw;
! Commission to say: owe will (
- what we can to secure employing
of as many of the local people
y possible" We were told that t.
! when the Plentywood school W
built, and who got the work?
An outside road contract
brings his own men, his ov
=, horses, machinery, cook car a.
even makes his own booze. VIII
few local men he might hire
will pay a dollar a day. 1t h
been done before and will be do
apain if we let them.

TRAINS ON BRANCH
MIGHT CHANGE

1t has been rumored that in the
near future the present branch
service from Bainville will be dis
continued, and mixed train will
be run from Williston to Opheim.
This will give the branch daily
freight and express service, but
will not speed up the passenger
service. 1t will also give a couple
freight crews at Bainville a
chance to go and look for another
job.
So far the local agent has not
been officially informed about any
change.

Editors Note-We agree with
the farmers of the Farmers Union
local of Dagmar that we must
take immediate action in order to
save our homes from the bankers
and the capitalist class, and in
order to prevent our living stand
ards from being depressed even
further by the capitalist class. But
we do not believe that this can be
accomplished thru such legisla-
ton as either the Frazier bill or
the Wheeler bill or any similar
measures. These proposals are
made by these representatives Of
the capitalist class only for the
purpose of preventing the farm
ers from organizing for action
against their oppressors and for
their homes.
We must say that the ends that
Frazier and Wheeler hope to
achieve by their hypocritical meas
ures have been achieved in the
case of the Farmers Union local
of Dagmar. These farmers have
been mislead by these measures In
/ to hoping that they will get some
! thing by legislation passed volun-
) tarily by a capitalist Congress.

Term of Court In Fall

According to Judge S. E. Paul,
there will be no term Of district
court set here until some time in
November.
Owing to the fact that there are
only few civil and other cases
pending, the judge regards it a
waste of time and money holding
spring term.

UFL CALLS ON FARMERS UNION
LOCAL FOR MILITANT ACTION

The following resolution has
been sent to the Producers News
foG publication by the Farmers
Union local of Dagmar:
RESOLUTIONS
Whereas, the depressing farm
conditions in the drouth area of
the Northwest has been fully and
profoundly established as a fact,
and
That the Red Cross, the Farm
ers Union, and other agencies, in
GLIDING the Federal feed loan and
Federal seed loan which is about
TO function, are taking care of
only the pressing maintenance ne
cessities,
Whereas, the near future also
must be seriously considered and
a rehabilitation program enacted
to provide proper means Cor a
livelihood, payment of indebted
ness, protection of our homes
from loss thru taxation and fore
closures, and to rebuild our thor
oughly demoralized farm credit.
Therefore be it Resolved, that
Congress thru our representatives,
be strongly impressed particularly
at this time with the imperative
necessity of passing some relief
measures to these ends.
Since seed loan has been grant
ed by Congress, that immediate
arrangements be made to secure
these supplies early to the end
that farmers may have seed be-
fore it is time to go into the
fields, also to get locally adapted
seed now available, thereby saving
in transportation Sand also taking
advantage of the present low
price, effecting an economy where
by the appropriations can be made
available to a greater number ant
possibly in larger amounts.
Be 1t Further Resolved, that
legislative measures be enacted t.
protect farm homes from confis
! cation by taxes or foreclosures, by
imposing a moratorium for a reas
! enable time or by enactfng som'
} measure similar TO the Frazfel
farm re-financing bill No. S1197.
That changes in our banking
, laws be made for an adequate pro
: lection of all depositors similar b
S the Wheeler Bill No. S2487.
In order to secure united expires
sion on these subjects at the pres
t ent session of Congress it woul'
t be we'll for all Farmers Union 10
e Gals and other farm organization
t to promptly make similar expires
o sions, and that copies be sent t
n our representatives in Congress
S and to the press.

Only l4Per Cent
OF Negro Race
OF Pure Stock

NEW YORK CITY - (CNS) -
Little new white blood is now
entering the Negro racial mixture
in America says DR.. Irene Barnes
lege, in paper presented before the
Third International Congress of Eu
genics.
Little new white blood is now en-
tering the Negro racial mixture
in America, DIR. Taeuber stated. New
ertheless the race as whole is
growing lighter, due to crossings
with the lighter-colored stock al
ready in existence. The mixed Ne
groes are a dwindling group; their
percentage among parents at pres
ent is 20, as against only IA per
cent. of pure-blooded Negroes among
the offsprings.
1.-The American Negro population
of the future will probably be more
homogeneous as to ancestry" said
DR.. Taeuber; there will be a small
Ter percentage of unmixed Negroes
a larger percentage with half or
more Negro ancestry, and smaller
percentage who pass as Negroes,
but have more white than Negro
ancestry The segregation process
operative in the inheritance of pig
mentation will prevent the develop
ment of a population of one uni
form hue"
Science News Letter, a science
publication of Washington, D. c., ex-
presses the views that; Negroes in
America are becoming lighter in
color, as a race, but considerable
range in duskiness of skin will al
ways be found among them"
