raise to $4,000 and has handed
thousands of grievances besides.
No one will dispute these facts.
Workers you are asked to join the
U. F. l.. and fight with your class
against the Plentywood CONNER
cial club whom you owe nothing
and against all exploiters and
petty stomach robbers.
At the most this would only
mean less highways. Are the lives
of workers more important THAN
federal highways? We say yes.
Jack" where do we owe you
OF your yes-men anything?
Nov Phil where did you get
that big house you live in? You
were a broken farmer a few years
ago. NOW don't get riled up and
try to cross examine some poor
ola lady who is old enough to be
your mother in order to kid your
self that you have any nerve. Old
Jack can drive you into the cor
ner with a twitch of his eye. There
is as much difference between you
and a real man as there is between
Rev. Simundson and Jesus whom
he claims To represent"
Now Vic, Old Jack appointed
you on the Central Committee 70
swell the chorous of "yes'es" and
though you physically stand like a
towering oak Gh forest OF under
brush, your voice is as feeble as
Bill Erickson's. You have nc
more to say about the relief ques-
ton than you had to say when
Commissioner Olson handed out
the saloon licenses.
Fellow farmers: Comrade Wan
KEEL who is a member of the Cen
trail Committee and on the county
committee CT the u. f. l.. (but
not a member Of old Jacks yes
mem made a motion stating that
any group of farmers that wanted
to work cut this relief (that they
had already worked out several
tlmes) should be paid 80 cents pei
hour half to be applied on the re-
lief and the other half TO be paid
in cash. The farmers themselves
to designate where the work be
done.
This motion was for the farm
ers and labOrers so there was nc
second. We are holding the gov
ernor responsible for old Jacks
actions. He may be lookiog fol
votes sometime. Since he ap-
pointed this old moron he is as
politically responsible for his ac-
tions as though they were his own
Workers: When you work fol
less. than the organized farmers
will work for, it meansyou are Civ
ing more labor for less money. II
means you are able to buy less
food, less shelter for your babies
Under the present conditions there
are no opportunities for the work
ers.
Organize is the only way. II
one Of you goes to the boss alone
and says he'll quit the boss doesn't
care, but let all go to the boss
He Immediately sits and takes
notice like a flee bitten dog. Farm
ers and workers join the U. F. L
Let's fight like men. Stand up

(BY HANS RASMUSSEN,

When we read the democratic
papers some get the impression
that the country is going to De
saved in a thousand different
ways: But, nobody seems to know
how it is going to be done and how
to go about it. So the widest
schemes are suggested and going
to be tried out, just to show the
people that something is being
done and keep them living in hope
a little longer.
One of the many schemes which
the country is going to be saved
by, is forest work. A lot of mil
lions is supposed To- be appropriat-
ca Tor the purpose of putting ESQ.,
700 men to work in our national
forest. These people will work in
camps and be under military com
mand and rules. 1t is planned to
iced these workers and pay them
81 per day besides.

At the commissioners meeting

SAVING THE COUNTRY BY
CLEANING UP RUBBISH

step in the right direction but. IN
US 1t looks as being next to worth
less. 1t is going to work the
same as if they put the $50 600
men into the army and had the
government feed them there. The
men will be able to eat as long
as the government funds will hold
out, but what they produce is not
going to benefit any of the rest
of US.
First they will be put to work
building 1000 camps Somewhere
out In the wilderness where thew
will be of absolutely no use TO
anybody after a short time. Bv
doing that they will waste a lot
OF useful material. Next thew
will start cleaning up the rubbish
IN the woods, to that there is no
end, but, outside of making it a
little easier for he big lumber
companies coming IN and doing
their logging Afterwards, it is not
going to do anybody but very lit
tie good. 1t is practically the
same as if these people were sent
out and moved our stone lies
from one end of the field to the
other, just gives them something
to do. 1t will eat up the govern
ment funds without having any
thing to show for it, just the same
as 1t would If we put these ESQ.,
GOO men into the army and fed
them there. 1t is just one more Ct
Roosevelt's helpless ways Of saw
ing the country.
Someone will say, it is easy
enough for you to criticize, but
have you anything better? And
We have. AS long as these men
are paid out of the government
funds, they should be producing
something the rest of us need and
are not able to get. These things
could then be given to us free of
charge. We need bed clothes, I'M
derwear, shoes and thousands of
other things. Instead of putting
people to work cleaning up rub
Dish somewhere out in the noun
tains, they could be producing
these things.
But that would ruin the profit
system, you say. Of course it
would. But it is the profit sys-
tenn that has ruined the world and
brought it to where it is today, so
why not do away with it and be
done with it. But it takes some
body else but Roosevelt to bring
this about. He sends $4,000 men
out in the mountains and feeds
them there at government expense
so they don't interfere with pri-
vate competition and profit. That's
his way of saving the profit sys-
tenn which he represents. 1t is
going to keep these people from
starving a short time, but as far
as saving the country in the flu
ture it has absolutely no merit to
it. 1t is just that much waste of
energy and money that could be
used for a much better purpose.

the much talked about fluid:
Plentywood, John VOTERS and
Brit Chandler, retailers; Carl West
restaurant; Joe Redmond and the
West Creamery, wholesalers.
Westby, Henry Skeels and Ted
Nordhagen, retailers; o. Helseth,

Besidse the Federal and State
licenses the dealers in PlentywooC
must pay the following licenses by
order of the city council: Retail
err, $500; hotel SIPS; restaurant
500; wholesaler, $3.50 and club
$50.
No beer is allowed to be sold
In, PlentywoOd before 8 o'clock a
m. and after IL o'clock midnight,
and none to be sold between 2 p
m. and 8 p. m. ON Sundays. These
regulations have been copied after
the Helena regulations by our city
dads. Now Helena has changed
their regulations so it is very
likely Plentywood will do the
same. Helena has cut their city
license down to one-half of what
they first intended to charge.
