What a lot of days some one
is giving to US without the asking.
We have Mothers Day and we
haev a Fathers Day, Poppy Day,
Tree Planting Day and Flag Day.
This year the President made US a
present of Presidents Day, a
day where we should sing his
praise all day long while we were
resting.
The latest day on the market is
the "Good Roads Day" given to
us by the Commercial club of
Plentywood. The Herald tells us
all about it in last weeks issue
and promises to tell us more this
week.
The Herald says ''The Plenty
wood Comme rcial club has agreed
to cooperate and will make an eff
fort to close every business house
in the city on that day and ask
every merchant to get out in the
country, do some actual work on
roads if possible, but at least visit
with farm people about conditions
of roads towards getting work
done that viii put them in con-
dition for the heavy use they will
have this fall"

only a few months should have
been appointed deputy sheriff no
one here seems able to guess.
Neither can only any one imagine
why a village like McElroy which
boasts "a population of only eight

have a deputy sheriff when towns

COUNTY PRINTING
GIVEN TO HERALD

AT the last commissioners meet
ing the county printing was given
10 the Plenywood Herald for an
other two years by the county
commissioners.
This deal was pulled off with
out giving anybody else a chance
to bid, furthermore it was slipped
over month before the regular
lime without letting any other
printer In the county know a thing
about it.
By Harry Polk and the county
commissioners it might be looked
upon as very smart trick to do.
but the taxpayers feel differently
about 1T, they feel that something
was slipped over ON them, and
they havve a project right to feel
that way about it. It was nothing
but a dirty cheap trick PLAYED bv
a bunrh of men handing out ia
vors at the taxpayers expense.
The taxpayers will have to pay
for it.
Two years ago the Producers
News submitted a bid in which
some of the items were more than
half as low as the price Harry
Polk got the contract for. His
contract is somewhat lower this
time but there are items yet for
which the county will pay him one
half more than our bid two wears
ago called for. And it stands to
reason that our bid this year
would mot havve been any higher
than the one two years ago, had
we been asked to submit bid.
That kind of favors are charged
up to the taxpayers and added to
the taxes that only a few of US
can pay, making the time of fore
closure that much sooner.
The figures used by the Herald
in order to prove that they are
doing the printing so much less
that the Producers News ever did
are figures used for the purpose
of fooling the people. In compar-
ing the figures the Herald is very
careful mot to mention that the
period was more than two years,
and that at that time, not only
printing, but also the buying of
furniture, filing cabinets, safes,
typewriters and adding machines,
etc.. for the court house, library
and county attorneys office, were
Included in the printing contract.
That the contract would be given
to the Herald was not more than
we had expected, but the commits
sioners could at least havve asked
other, printers for a bid, and then
made the Herald come down in
line with the lowest bid, and by
doing so taken the fat part out Of
the contract and sawed the tax
payers a lot of money. But Harry
Polk and the Plentywood CONNER
cial club didn't WANT them TO do
that, so they just slipped the deal
over while nobody was looking.

RUBBER TIRED FARMERS Will
BURN UP ROADS ON JUNE q
TO WORK OUT THEIR RELIEF

This relief is taken out of the
Federal highway appropriation
where the state matches dollar for
collar with the government. The
state OF Montana has never been
able to match with the govern
ment, so, not out anything.
II this relief was paid back out
OF the taxes, which it is not. then
the farmers would have to paw it
anyway, wouldn't they?
The government has placed a
sales tax on nearly everything the
farmers and workers buv which
would cover the relief appropria-
tion many times. Knowing all of
this the farmers have refused to
work. 1t out again on the roads To
satisfy the -Plentywood CONNER
clal club who happens to want To
be their dictators.
AT a united front mass meeting
neid at Williston last Sunday pe-
ltlons were circulated by the un-
employed council and different
farmer organization against work
working out this relief.
The unemployed council with
900 members were the first to de-
clare themselves against this move
OF the little business men.
AT Froid Monday night at a
mass meeting of the Holiday As
ISOLATION they voted unanimously
against working out the relief
County Commissioner Miller who
was there said the reason that the
county wanted the farmers to
work it out was because the coun-
ty was hard up. The farmers were
willing to work for the cour Nv il
the work would be applied on the
taxes. But under mo considerations
would they work out their relief.
AT the U. F. L. convention at
brentwood last Saturday IL was
decided. unanimously against the
working out Of the relief and rem
ressntatives from Daniels county
lat the convention said they were
also opposed to working.
The question of working owt
relief that no one has borrowed
can be answered in three words
go to hell!
P. S. Old Jack must quit
as chairman of the Eyes men,.
The mainstreeters are apologizing
for him. They say he was making
too many reds. They are wise to
him and G. G. and he must be
strapped. He makes a good bat
tering ram but reaction has set in.
Judge Paul is ashamed of recon-
mending him. So he's booked for
the scrap heap, the same as thev
did with Frank French. They saw

So June 81 Is set aside as good
roads day so say both the Com
merclal club and old Jacks yes
men. But who has always built
the roads? Why the farmers. Who
mas paid their taxes, bought their
radios, automobiles an0 golf sticks
the farmers. So there is moth
ing new about that, is there?
The farmers have given them
relief all of these years without a
whlmper. From 25 to 100 per
cert profit ON everything thew
have bought from them. Thew
have listened to the propaganda of
these parasites which goes some
thing like this: Don't send AWAY
buy at home-build I'D our COM
munity. And while using these
slogans we farmers find that this
element send away for everything
they sell; don't buy anything at
homeland when it comes to build
ing up the community instead of
having pitchforks or a shovel in
hand. we find them with golf
sticks.
And when June Fl rolls around
venture to- say that this same
element instead of being ON the
stormy end of a number 2 shovel
building roads, they will be doing
their bit by working their jaws.
Farming the farmer and work
Ang the farmer is their psychology
OF life Now we have dirt farm
ers. tired farmers, retired farmers
and rubber, tired farmers.
On this DAY set aside by "our''
Mayor these rubae. tired farmers
who can be seen most any evening
after 1t gets cool with garden hose
spr1nkling the lawn are going to
get into their rubber tired cars
THAT the dirt farmers have bought
them) ard make for the country
TO advise the dirt farmer how thew
should work out the relief thew
got from the r. F. C..
G. G. Christensen and old Jack
VIII ride in different cars-old
Jack will tell you how he farmed
on the gumbo flat at Redstone-
and., G G will tell you what a
splendid thing the relief has been
for you, but he will be mum on
what splendid thing it has been
for him.
The rubber tired farmers who
drive their cars. down town (even
tho they live but two or three
blocks away and park them in
front of their business places
have MANY times decided that the
trouble with the dirt farmer is he
has burned up too much gas run
ming around when he should have
been home working. Wouldn't this
be a good day for the rubber
tired farmers to save a little gas?
The gas they burn up that one
day would make many trips to the
golf course. The dirt farmres don't
need your hot air, the air has been
hot enuf lately and besides the
grasshoppers are eating the crop.
We have more parasites infesting
the fields than we can handle
We already know that grasshop-
pers are as necessary to society as
human parasites. So rubber tired
farmers save your gas.
The relief that these rubber tired
farmers are so interested in was
not borrowed by Plentywood nor
by Sheridan county or the State
of Montana. It was an appropria-
ton by the government intended
to be given out in places where
workers and farmers were rebel
lious enough TO refuse to peaceably
starve. 1t was not given out in
cash so many merchants stuffed
off their shop worn goods on the
victims.

purpose of protecting the farmes.
The doctor might be a nice man
in many ways, and at times he
talks quite radical, but. it is here
like everywhere else that as long
as the farmers depend on business
men as their leaders they are 60
ing to be double crossed and get
it In the neck. Only by picking
the most militant leaders right
among themselves ard stand by
them are the farmers going TO win
out.

DISSIPATION OF
SLUMP IS Seen
Rev. Moser Tells KiWanis
Cause Was Fear and
False Estimates

Looking back over the period
of the depression, which he de-
clared is rapidly being disSlpat-
ed, the Rev. Claude H Moser,
pastor of the First NJ. Z. church,
told the Kiwanis club today that
fear is the greatest producer OF
calamity, that it is caused bV a
false estimate of things and that
its only cure is intelligence back
ed by religion. =,
"Be not afraid; only believe, ]"
he urged, quoting words spoken
by Jesus on an important occa-
sion.
The speaker said that the time
of stress from which the nation
is beginning to emerge has more
fully equipped people to meet
the task OF building a town, Il
state or civilization, and that
Hendersonville folk can cause
this city to be widely heralded as
a place of unity and cordiality
and prosperity if they will only
believe it can be done.
