PRoGREsSIVEs LAUD MONTANA GOVERNOR.

The Montana Progressive in an article about Frank
Cooney ascending to the office of Governor of Mon
in its issue of March 18th, in part says the fol-
lowing:
Governor Frank H. Cooney's position in assuming
the office of governor is distinctly comparable to the
position of President Roosevelt in his assumption of
the powers of the presidency of the United States.
Each has inspired hope of better things; more COM
potency IN administration; more justice and equality in
the execution of the affairs of the state, and above
all, efficiency and economy in the business of govern
ment.
"The people of Montana, in common with the peo-
pie OF the entire United States, were sickened by the
hopeless drifting of the past administration in Ma
tlonal affairs. A ray of hope came to them with the
firm and fearless words of the declarations of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his inaugural address. They felt.
there would be no va~cillating, stumbling, cropping for
palliatives The cancer would be fearlesslv exposed
and dealt with. 1t was man talk 1t was the ex-
preston of a fearless leader, such as the people will
follow and fight with.
HE (Cooney) takes office owing no obligations to
the corporate interests of the state. He was elected
lieutenant governor against their active opposition.
When he filed for the nomination he was rdiculed bv
one OF the corporation organs, one of the PRINCIPAL
mouthpieces of the special interests, now busilv irving
to overwhelmingly remedy its error"
1t already seems that the people are about to reap the
benefits from the actions of Governor Coonev and Sam
Mitchell, Secretary of State, who together with the At
,orney General, constituting the Board of Examiners.
we're independent enough from corporate control to see
me possibility OF selling the State Bonds provided for by
he last session of the legislature to take up the outstand-
ng warrant indebtedness without forming an alliance of
any kind with banks, bond brokerage houses, corporate
interests, or politicians, is an encouraging omen To the
minded people of the state. and the hoard

AN UNUSUAL EMPLOYER

Correspondence from the United Mine Workers in the
Roundup district brings us information regarding an un-
usual employer of labor. This employer is Mr.. Jeffries,
operator of the Jeffries Roundup Mines. The Jeffries
not believe in Labor Saving Machinery when there is a
scarcity of employment in the land. At a loss in profit
to himself, Mr.. Jeffries prefers to give men employment
rather than machinery. At one time, a far-seeing exec
utive in the mine purchased some Labor Saving Machin-
cry and planned to lay-off a few men. When Mr.. JEFF
fries heard of it he strapped the machinery. The un-
usualress of this mine is that it is the only hand-operated,
UNION mine in the district.

of ever paying for it. We were 60
ing to suggest the lowest paid rail
road workers, the section men, but
they are out of the picture because
they are organized.
Some of the merchants have not
been able to pay their rent for the
store buildings they occupy while
waiting for the slow business from
those who formerly were their best
customers, so if this new theory is
put into practice may there indeed be
the dawning of a new day.
Before jumping pell nell into this
new scheme of things, it may be we'll
to consider why this local merchant
chose a place like Missoula in carry
ing out his noble experiment. As
there are a number Of towns in wes-
tern Montana where there are no or
ganized workers it would seem that a
town more to his liking could have
been found. In the meantime men,

ingly refrain from placing any OBJ

THE EDITORS SCRATCH-PAD

The New Deal is on. The government sets a wage
scale OF two dollars per day, half to be paid in board.
room and clothing and the other half in cash.
The scheme was opposed by organized labor for it
strikes a decided blow at wage scales and standards of
living set by unionism. What will prevent contractors
from setting a wage scale in accordance with govern
ment standards? With Uncle Sam setting the example
What recourse will labor have in protesting the "peonj
labor used in Butte and on state highways? If YOU have
know imagination, wait and watch the results.
Even this militarized form of peonage Will only employ
a half million or less, making a mere dent in the ID mil.
lion unemployed.
A few more earthquakes, floods and hurricanes might
restore prosperity quicker than congress. If that August
body doesn't act soon, nature will get the credit for the
prosperity that is within arms reach.
And now we are getting beer by Easter. The way
politicians are taxing it in Montana, through high IL
cense fees the poor mans drink will be a luxury. At
fifteen cents a snort there will be few able to buy it.
If the government expects to realize its huge revenue
from beer taxes prosperity will have to come so that we
can afford to buy it.
The news now tells us that we just spent $4,000, 900
to kill 70 men. Quite expensive murder we say. If
you will go to your back files of the Labor News you will
find reports of the air-worthiness and usefulness of the
Akron. The Senate started an investigation but moth
ing came of it and the contract was made for the build

When we consider the losses in men and money in
submarine and airship disasters, we find that war is an
expensive game even in peace times. Millions to de-
stroy lives, but two dollars a day to keep soul and body
together. And we call ourselves a civilized people made
in the image of God. If God is anything like we are we
join the ranks of the Communist atheists.
To top it off the Navy asks for an appropriation lar
ger than the savings made by the Presidents economy
plus the ~hoped-for beer revenue. Remember
also that our president is a big navy man. Will the
Navy get it?
How much war propaganda do you read in your daily
press? How many articles have you read, and speeches
have you heard, recently, on the inadequacy of our arm
aments? How much have you heard of rarity of arma-
mentS?
Read history and see how such propaganda follows
periods of discomfort; see how often wars are used to
make a discontinued people patriotic; then in a reflec-
tive mood vision the "way out" that capitalism has for
the world.

s*&
when you are in Rome, do as the
Romans do" This phrase suggested
itself upon reading a local merchants
advertisement wherein he promulgates
his plan Of action in bringing the
country and Missoula in particular
out of the much lamented depression.
Here is his remedy, Remove organ
lied labor wages from our city and
you will see more building and i'm
provements, more houses painted,
more manufacturing and business OPP
erations, more people having an indie
pendent job, fewer depending upon
charity, less fear and unrest. Give
us work at any price. We must meet
conditions today"
Now can you beat that? Here we
have been wrong all the time. You
fellows who have been complaining
that you had to let your taxes go de-
linquent, and you are behind in your
building and loan installments, your
trousers are getting ragged and your
shoes are lop-sided, all because you
think, you did not have opportunity
to earn enough to meet these very
necessary obligations. Now you know
that if only you had worked more
days, even if you had received less
pay than what you got for the few
days you did work, all would have
been grand and glorious. And as
for the merchants who have been ca
tering to the well-paid wage-earners
such as locomotive engineers and fire
men, conductors and trainmen, brick
plumbers, carpenters, electric
ans, plasterers and painters, they just
know which side of the bread the
butter is on. Some of these men have
not been working steady most of the
lime, and lately most of them have
been working only part of the time,

pest for them, let them cultivate a
patronage among those who work
at any price. May we suggest
few of them, such as the Mexicans,
ending beet fields, the fire-fighters

unemployed, some Of the men given
obs through the Federated Social
