WHAT WILL THAT BOY SEE?

Spring spreads its influence in many places and not
the least of these in illustrations on the front of maya
zines. Recently there appeared on the cover of a maya
zine of wide circulation a picture the simplicity of which
carried an attraction that riveted attention.
1t was the picture of a lad of perhaps eleven or twelve
years, barefooted, the wind blowing about him and his
mongrel dog half covering in the wind.
1t was the picture Of just an everyday sort of boy
and his dog. But the minute you glanced at his eyes
you realized the allure of the picture and then you follow
ed the picture over to find the other figure, that of a
beautiful phantom, thnly clad, whispering in the ear
Of the boy the mystery and ~witchery of spring.
The simple denomination of spring attached to the
picture was hardly necessary.
Shining in anticipation were the eyes of the boy as he
heard the Winsome message OF spring, the message that
gives all boys the urge to be on the move and to see
things.
Shifting your glance from that picture to stormy, cha
otto world events, you cannot help but wonder what the
boy in that peaceful picture is going to behold as life I'M
folds for him.
Of course it is a picture nothing is permitted to in
wade to dispel any idea of happiness. There is no hun
ger, no want, no breadlines in that picture-just the hap
piness and wonderfulness of spring.
Perhaps that boy in the picture like boys of this gen.
Grafton will live to see poverty and slums wiped out and
the arranging of society so that the sweet breath of spring
blows pleasant dreams and fantasies not only for the
boys in the country but for those boys who before be-
cause of poverty and exploitation knew only the hard
and sordid pavements of the city.
Perhaps, as he peered into the future, the boy in the
picture saw a time Of happiness for all boys and all
girls, when child labor and exploitation had been abolish
ed, and perhaps that was one reason his eyes were shin
ing so brightly. f~r

WHO MAKES THE LAWS?

Owners of small automobiles are not satisfied with
the decision of the State Supreme Court on the license
fee measure passed by the recent legislature, as it now
reads. The error of an enrolling clerk changed the
figures from five dollars to ten dollars, after the bill had
passed in both houses carrying the first amount, and the
bill was signed by the speaker of the house, the president
Of the senate and the governor. The error was not dis
covered until after it had been signed.
The question has been raised, by small car owners, as
to whether the enrolling clerk or the members of the
Legislature makes the laws of the state. Under the de-
cision of the supreme court, it appears to be the case
that, as the enrolled bill is signed, not as the legisla-
ture passed the bill, is the law. What would have been
the decision, of the court, had the enrolling clerk put
the figure 500 in the bill, and placed the period after
the last cipher and a dollar sign before the five? That
would have made every small car owner pay five hun
dred dollars for license.
1t is not the intention to criticise the ruling of the SUI
preme court, as that body is doing its duty in interpret
ing the laws of the state. The desire is to point out the
carelessness of the enrolling committee in not reading
bills before permitting them to be signed by the pre-
siding officers Of the Legislature. Suchs carelessnes
might cost the state many thousands of dollars by maxi
ing it necessary to call a special session, to correct mis-
takes in other important measures.

SIGN THE WHEELER SILVER PETITION

During the past few days there have appeared on the
streets of Butte petitions urging the support of the
Wheeler Silver Bill, this bill has the universal endorse
ment of the Labor Movement in all the Western mining
and Silver producing states.
The resumption of the silver industry would do more
to bring about prosperity not only in the Western states
but in the industrial and manufacturing centers as well.
There would be large orders for mining and milling ma
chinery and supplies. Large amounts of timber would
be necessary for the mining operations and buildings, the
demand for electric power would be far greater than
any other industry would require.
The important factor would be the need of man power,
the same man power that is now walking the streets and
highways could be put to work and at once the purchas-
ing power of these men would become apparent. New
clothes, shoes, automobiles, needed repairs to homes
all these and many more items would be in demand.
Why not adopte the slogan, Help Silver and Help
YOURSELF"
The Wheeler Silver Bill has the endorsement of the
Montana State Federation Of Labor and the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council. We urge all people inter-
ested in bringing prosperity back to the people of the
State of Montana to sign the petition.

CORRESPONDENCE

Life insurance in force in Butte at
the present time totals approximately
$36, 800, 900 according to a computa-
ton by A. KingJ general agent of the
Lincoln National Life Insurance Com
pany.
Mr.. King arrived at this figure by
multiplying Butte's population of 49,
600 by $3.50 which is the national per
capita of insurance in force. He
believes that Butte's per capita fig
ure closely corresponds to the per
capita figure for the United States
as a whole.
The $3.50 per capita of insurance IN
force, explains Mr.. King takes ac-
count of every human being in the
community, from the day-old infant
to the Oldest person. In 1920 this
figure stood at only 1894. Canada
ranks next to the United States in
per capita life insurance in force
S640. The United Kingdom is a
leader among European countries
with a per capita figure of S266.
Despite the severity of the three
years of depression, the amount of
insurance in force at the close of 1882
was greater than at the end of the
boom year 1929. The amount of in
surance in force today is in excess
of 108 billions on the lives of over 65
million policyholders, over one-half
the population Of the United States.
During 1882, a year fraught with
the greatest difficulties for business
and finance, the life insurance com
panies of the United States paid to
policyholders and beneficiaries the
gigantic sum of $500, 100000 This
exceeds by 500 million dollars the
record breaking total paid out in 1881.
OF this sum, 1926, 100000 went to
widows, orphans and other beneficiar-
les as death claims, while $2,175, O0O,-
900 was distributed to living policy
holders in matured endowments, IN
%nuities, surrender values, dividends,
and disability benefits.

pense and annoyance to the union de-
Tending its workers.
1t was this anti-labor injunction,
granted at the request of the motor
ious Harry Daugherty, the Harding
Encouragement, that crystallized
opposition to Judge Wilkerson's pro-
motion to the federal circuit bench
toward the end of the Hoover admin
istration. Fearful of being altogether
without a job, Wilkerson begged
Hoover not to give him a recess APP
pointment, as he would be off the
district bench and probably unable to
get Senate confirmation for the cir
cult job. Wilkerson's job prospects
would have been all the worse be-
cause his principal former client,
Samuel insult, had skipped the eoun-
try, a fugitive from justice.

ROOSEVELT
CHANGES B
SCENE

NEW YORK-(FP)-Wall Street
ran wild with the announcement that
initiation, which has been predicted by
labor observers for weeks, had actual
ly come.
Hidden away among the highly
technical explanations of what it
means to go off the gold standard
are certain facts which the workers
of the country will sooner or later
have to face:
l.. Now that wages have been
forced to what would seem the low
est possible plane illinois having
reached 81 per cent of the 1925 to
1927 level, for example), prices are
to rush upward on all that the work
er buys.
2. An increase in prices without
an equal increase in wages is just
the same as another wage cut.
8. The workers, who have been
fighting rear guard actions to hold
off as much of the proposed pay-cut-
ting as possible, will now be called
upon to shift their attack quickly
and begin demanding pay increases.
4 The bosses could make nrofits
laying off workers and cutting prices
up to April %. Mark that date. At
ter that their profits were to be made
by rushing out work, hiring workers,
boosting prices. That means that the
strike is tremendously more effective
than it has been, that labor's most
effective weapon is coming back, that
the fight on sweatshOp wages can be
pushed successfully.

Peter had visited them and eaten his
