DEBTS, AND OUR FRIENDS In
EUROPE.
(Review Of Reviews)

NltGNlCW Va AAIFANHof
The European governments and
newspapers do not in the least un-
derstand the American attitude Ton
war debts) 1t is the outrageous per-
version Of plain facts regarding the
debts, and the insolence with which
the American position is misrepresent-
ed, that has SO deeply offended the
West and the South. 1t is not mat
ter of money, but chiefly a matter of
decency. Never in the history OF the
world was any great action SO unset
fish and so quixotic as the appear
ance in Europe Of the United States
on the side Of the Allies In the roman
tic hope of helping to end the war and
in zeal for the dawn of millennium OF
justice, peace, and human brotherhood.
We gave everything, and took nothing.
We have been better treated by the
nations against whom we fought than
by those whose structures Of empire
we saved from defeat and disintegra-
ton. They have been ruthless toward
Germany, and unspeakably insolent to-
ward the United States.
We would like to be friends with
them, and to do business with them
But we would also like to see then
improve their manners, face the truth
and make the League Of Nations re,
atty rather than mask for their mil
itary ACKNOWLEDGMENT and their i'm
perial programs. They do not inten,
to make continued payments ON thei
! debt settlement with the United States
regardless of decisions to pay or to de
fault on December Is. Millions of on
own citizens know by hard experience
that it is difficult, in these times, t
pay interest and taxes, and debt dodg
ing is common everywhere
j As for transmission it is terribl
hard to get tax money as far as til
county court house. How hard the
must it not be for European govern
ments to get real money transmitte
i to Uncle Sam, when they want to us
it for so many things more interestin
to themselves! We do not care yer
much about Europe's money. But ther
are other ways by which Europe ma
do something to win back the goo
opinion Of millions Of American either
!, who live south and west OF New Yor
and the District of Columbia.

A SILLY PRACTICE.

The other day. the r. S, congress
voted a handsome pension of $5,00000 to
Mrs. Coolidge 1t was a generous ges-
ture but a silly one. The sentiment
prompting it probably was that an APP
preciative nation owed some slight act
of recompense to the widow OF presi-
dent who had served his country we'll.
This practice Of granting pensions
to widows of presidents has existed
for many years. We remember that
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Mrs. How
ard Taft, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and
now Mrs Coolidge are all being paid
pensions. And each and every one of
them is very wealthy. Each. of them
has more wealth than they know what
to do with, yet generous but silly
nation votes another 5000 as an an
nual gift to each.
Such an act is especially silly at this
time With the nation straining every
nerve to balance the budget" and
still unable to pay running expenses
yet just because it is a practice we
continue to vote 5000 annual gifts tc
women who have no possible need o.
the money If the widows Of our deae
presidents were in need of money i
would be an entirely different mat.
ter but they are all wealthy. In thi
time of unbalanced budgets and dir,
poverty everywhere, couldn't tina

eminent Golfers 365 days Of the year;
there is no ceasing. 1t is paid out for
road, building, improvement OF rivers
and harbors salaries of government
workers, upkeep Of army and navy,
erection and repairs on federal build
ings, extension work in education

found a way TO spend our tax millions,
and in the past two years three bill
lions in addition.
How does this affect the average
working man and that class Of society
which advocates soak the rich?" Nat
urally, the ones who pay the tax in
clude it in their charge for their prod
uct whether it be manufactured
product or the labor of their hands.
It means that the capitalist must get
a higher price for his article and pay
less to the labor that produces it, the
buying public and laboring man can
not buy as much as formerly on ac-
count of higher prices and having less
money, consequently there is no need
for the capitalist to manufacture more
than he can sell and he begins to lay
off men. The man who advocated soak
the rich" now has no job.
A better slogan than soak the rich
| is live and let live" Don't be fooled
into thinking the government gives
you anything. You are the government
and YOU will pay the bill The poor
man who buys a sack Of flour, slal
Of bacon, a pound of coffee and a pail
of shoes for his child is the one whs
pays in the end 1t is a universal trutl
that everyone must pay for what h,
gets.--Record, Stearns, Kentucky.

WOULD REDUCE AUTOMOBILE
LICENSES TO $500.

There is movement in the state to
reduce the cost of Montana auto II
censes to $500, the one charge to ap-
ply to all sizes and makes of cars.
Truck licenses. however. would not be
included in this reduction
The movement has strong support.
Petitions are being circulated over the
state and are being freely signed. A
number Of these petitions are being
circulated in Libby. Let's look into
the proposal little.
Under the present graduated auto
license cost. the money derived from
the sale of licenses is divided among
the counties of the state and goes into
the road fund Lincoln county received
from this source in 1929, s15,099.02; IN
1880, SO, $4,000; in 1881, SIG, 1856 Al; in
1882, $12,91215
BY reducing the cost Of auto licenses
to $500 it will be seen that the sum
received by the county will be greatly
reduced-by much more than 50 per
cent inasmuch as the cost of licenses
now ranges from $40 to $3.50. That
means less money for Lincoln county
highways, say those who are inter-
ested in the county highway fund.
On the other hand. the advocates Of
the $500 cost argue that the sale OF
auto licenses is not legitimate method
of raising revenue. that license is in
tended merely for the purpose of iden-
tifying the car, and for the protection
of the car owner and the public. They
further contend that the revenue To-
highway purposes would probably b.
increased by the lowered cost OF IL
censes, in that more licenses would bt
sold, more cars operated, more gasoline
consumed and, therefore. more none,
received from the gasoline tax.
Lowering the auto license fee ap-
pears to be growing in favor. Some ad.
Joining states have the $500 fee, som,
states even less than that

LIGHTNING HIT
CHURCH, BURNED

Fire, started by bolt of lightning,
destroyed Christ's Lutheran church
in Stately township, near Springfield,
at loss of $4,000 Sunday evening,
May 81.
Shortly after the terrific crash,
Mrs. Oscar Stark, who lives nearby,
noticed smoke emerging from the
steeple. She called the Springfield
fire department which answered the
call but was unable to save the struc-
ture due to the fact that the city
prohibits the fremen from using the
fire truck in the country.
The building of wood construction,
could have been saved had the neces-
sary equipment been available but
under the circumstances the firemen
could not reach the blaze in the
steeple and the amount of chemicals
they had was inadequate to extin-
guish the flames after they had reach
ed the main building.
The organ, benches and much Of
the interior fixtures were saved. The
loss is estimated at about $4,000
which was partially covered by insur-
ance.
The edifice was built in 1911. Sew
en- years ago the building was raised
and a full basement was put in.
Three years later a bell was hung in
the steeple.
The board, Of which John Gatzlaff,
Springfield, is secretary and treasur-
er, will meet soon to discuss plans for
new church. Rev. William F. Leh-
man of Comfrey is pastor of the
church.
