BANKING HOLIDAY
CAUSE OF LITTLE
TROUBLE LOCALLY
National Bankers Working
Out Plans to Finance
Nations Commerce

Red Lodge bankers spoke re-
assuringly this week concerning
the local financial situation as it
was affected by the governors
order that closed Montana banks
in keeping with the national bank
holiday. Business, though not
stimulated by the occurrence, was
more Inconvenience by the alb
sence of banking facilities than
disturbed over the condition of the
banking structure.
Local bankers heiterated the
statement made by Frank A.
johnson, state superintendent of
banks, who explained that Mon
tana banks are in a sound condi-
ton, amply protecting their Gus
toners. "The banks customers
may be comfortable in the assur-
ance that they are well protected
and there is no danger in the sit
uation. We sincerely hope that
the people will cooperate fully
with the banks"
Unrest throughout the country
in financial circles eliminated
Saturday by the declaration of the
banking holiday in New York,
which was followed by declara-
tions of moratoria and holidays in
other large centers. Holidays in
some states other than Montana
were mandatory, it being deemed
unwise that state groups should
stand out against the general mo-
ton. Montana banks were said to
have protested the holiday, though
submitting for the protection of
depositors.
Proclamation by President
Roosevelt extended the national
holiday at least until Thursday,
March Q. In the same proclama-
ton the newly inaugurated presi-
dent assumed wartime mandatory
powers in dealing with the situa-
ton. An embargo was ordered on
exports Of gold and silver from
the United States, Secretary
Woodin being emphatic in declar-
ing that the nation had not gone
off the gold standard.

of cash are being solved by the ae-

ty officers who made arrests be-
fore the crime was two minutes

Forewarned that the Fromberg
bank was to be the object of a
holdup, Cashier C. j. Buzzetti,
Sheriff Walter Lamport, with
Deputies Bill Moore and John

bers who visited the bank shortly

the bank. Insthe lodge hall above
the Emmett store on another cor
ner was Bill Moore, and Deputy
Clausen was waiting behind the
residence of DR.. Benson, near the
bank building.
According to the sheriff's story
of the capture, two men walked

FARMERSCANF FILE NOW
FOR PRODUCTION LOANS

Farmers of Carbon county who
want to draw crop production
loans from the $90,000,000. fund
authorized by congress this year
must come in person to the coun-
ty seat before April 80 to secure
application blanks, and to satisfy
the requirements demanded of
prospective borrowers.
Application blanks for the 1888
loans are being issued at the
county clerks office by John
Honkala, deputy clerk, who is as
sisting loan seekers in making
their applications. He will pass
upon the eligibility of each appli-
cation before it is submitted, in
order that there may be no delay
in reception of the loans.
Last year several loans were
delayed because applications were
improperly filed. This year it
will be made almost impossible to
make an improper filing, accord
ing to E. G. Ferguson, field in
spector Of the loan office, who was
in Red Lodge Monday from his
post at Livingston. prospective
borrowers should make their ap-
~plication as soon as possible be-
fore April 80, to prevent delay in

crop production loans are that
this year the maximum amount
permitted any one borrower is
$500, and that, to qualify for a
loan, borrowers must agree to re-
duce their acreages of cash crops
at least 80 per cent below their
1882 acreages provided that their
farming operations are above a
specified minimum). Loans are
to be repaid on or before October
81, 1888.
A first lien on the 1888 crop is
required. Those who are in ar
rears on previous loans must Sc
cure renewals before a 1888 pro-
duction loan will be issued, and

SIMMONS RETURNS
FROM AN ACTIVE
Term AT HELENA
Work Included Forwarding
of Gasoline Sale, Elk
Hunting Laws

Activity in Legislation concern
ing game laws, regulation of gas
oline sales in Montana, and laws
governing mining operations char
acterized the service of Senator
Fl. A. Simmons of Carbon in the
state Legislature, who told some of
his Helena experiences upon his
return to Red Lodge Sunday.
AS a member of five standing
committees and chairman of one,
Mr.. Simmons was engaged in a
variety of work during his. first,
and what he terms a very inter-
esting, session. He introduced, or
collaborated in introducing, nine
bills in the senate, and as a com
mittee member was the author
and sponsor of a number of others,
both in the senate and the lower
house.
One of the most talked of acts
originating in the senate was bill
10, concerning the standard
products of petroleum as a public
utility, introduced by Mr.. Sim
mons, who pushed and guided it
along against a deal of emphatic
opposition. This act seeks to pre-
vent discrimination in the sale of
petroleum products in Montana and
adjoining states, and to control in
some measure the sale of gasoline
and oils by corporations. 1t is
distinctive in that it defines pc
troleum produce as a public util-
ity, affected by the public's ir-
.terest', and hence subject to reg
ulation by the public service COM
mission. 1t was passed after stiff
controversy in both houses, and
transmitted to the governor for
his signature.
Virtual assurance that hunters
may shoot elk in Carbon county
next season is given by passage of
bill No. 1877, of which Mr..
Simmons laid the groundwork.
Foreseeing the death of house bill
10, a. proposed game law, he
with Senator Harris in put
ting up bill No. 121, concerning
game hunting in Carbon and Meag-
her counties. This bill was killed
in favor of No. 1877, a bill spons-
ored by the fish and game COM
.ittee, containing the desired sub
of the former bills. Now
before the governor, the act gives
the state fish and game commits
sion authority to declare an open
season on elk in portions of Car
BON county.
One of the first bills to receive
The governors signature during
he session was introduced by Mr..
Simmons-bill No. IL, concerning
The exemption of earnings where
iebts are incurred for the neces-
of life.
With Senator Carroll he intro
iuced No. Sc, relating to state
nent of the gross yield of mines,
was killed by consent of the
authors, as was its companion bill
the license tax and coal min
ng. Parts of these bills were lat
,r included in house bill No. 81, on
he mine tax, which was passed
through to the governor.
Two other bills by Mr.. Simmons
which were transmitted to Gov
srnor Erickson we're No. 115, re-
Red Lodge daily news combined with Carbon County news., 1933-03-08

lating to separate property of the
wife, and 1879, a Qualification of
the law on liens of real estate
mortgages and extensions. The
law governing composition Of the
boards Of county commissioners
will more truely conform to the
state constitution if the governor
signs Mr.. Simmons bill, No. 1874,
relating to special meetings of
commissioners boards.
Committees on which the SEN
ator served were insurance, jude
larry, education, privileges and
elections, and he was chairman of
the labor and capital committee.
The fate of many bills passed
by the legislature, including sew
eral of those mentioned, is not
yet known, as the governor has
until March 16 to dispose of the
number, either by signature or
veto. 4N

RED LODGE BOYS
Win AWARDS AT
BOXING TOURNEY
Sastamoinen Earns Title
In A. A. u. Contest
At Salt Lake

Three boys of the Red Lodge
region returned Tuesday night
from Salt Lake City, each with a
medal as a place winner in the in
termountain A. A. u. boxing
tournament, finals of which were
held Saturday night.
Charles (Concrete) Sastamoi-
men holds a gold medal for dis
posing of all competition in the
Interchangeable class, Albert
(Huck FINN Michelcic has a sill
yer medal for second place among
the welterweights, and Tommy
Gillen won a second place award
in the featherweight division.
Henry Albert, their sponsor, coach
and manager, brought back a
pleased look which was enough in
itself.
Donations by Red Lodge boxing
enthusiasts and business men
made it possible for the boys to
participate in the tournament, and
the boxers satisfied the local con-
fidence in them, each working his
way up to the finals against OPP
ponents who were champions in
their own territories.
Sastamoinen went through his
part Of the tourney in a fashion
that gained him the name of
Knockout Specialist. With a slog-
an of Bring out another one", he
kayoed all three Of the fighters
who came against him. In the
championship he polished off
James Helms, Salt Lake City sol
der, in two minutes, leaving no
doubt Of his claim to the title. His
performance was both pleasing
and surprising to Red Lodge fans,
who had not seen him display any
thing unusual for some time in
home town bouts. Concrete" is
thus qualified to enter the nation
al tournament to be held at Bos-
ton this spring.
One of the real battles of the
tourney was the scrap between
Michelcic and Ivan Smith of Salt
Lake, in which "Huck' lost a hair
line decision, but demonstrated to
the audience and his opponent that
he was in the fight from the first
gong. Both boys scored eight
count knockdowns. "Huck" step
ped out as the dark horse of his
class by knocking out Alex Kress
of the 38th Infantry at Fort
Douglas, in first round of their
semi-final match.
Tom Gillen, after winning his
semi-final match by a decision,
fought Ralph Hooking of Butte in
the championship bout. Tom was
troubled with pains in his side,
and went into the ring against the
advice of Coach Albert. After
holding his own in the first round
he was in distress, and make"
threw in the towel for him, con-
ceding Hooking a technical knock
out. Sports observers at the
tourney declared Hooking the out
standing boxer at the show.
All three boys were forced to
give weight to most of their OPP
ponents, and entered the t%ourna-
ment in physical conditions that
were not the best, due 10 irregular
training.

There is more than a little

Congress cannot make us prosper

American people to win back what

If each section of the country is
interested only in it's own sectional

long road and a hard task ahead

The difference between individ-
ual effort and legislation for a
cure of %depressions was we'll sum-
med up the other day by Will H.
Hays, former Postmaster general,
when he said in an address to the
New York Association of Business
Paper Editors:
Whatever ameliorative meas
ures government or legislation
may achieve, the sterilization of
employment must come from CO.
operation between industry and la
Dor. Only cooperation can result
in that adjustment of production
to needs which will stabilize the
prices of farm commodities.
1.-THE problem before American
industry is to consolidate, not de-
stroy, the gains of cooperation.
Each of US pulling in his own di-
rection will not bulge the stalled
wagon of national progress. We
cannot shut our eyes to funda-
mental interdependence. The prob
lens of our vast industrial struc-
ture have outgrown the interests
of any group within any given in
dustry.
"Only through organization can
business meet the challenge of
evolving the new methods required
for the stability of the American
business structure.
whether American industry af-
ter the depression will be rebuilt
on a higher or lower plane depends
entirely upon the higher business
standards developed through years
of cooperative effort"
Red Lodge daily news combined with Carbon County news., 1933-03-08

But if we are to get out of the
depression-and every real Amer
lean feels that we are going to
pull out before long-then the
people must do most of it for
themselves. This applies, of course
as much to American business as
to the American individual. There
must be more than criticism of
ones %neighbors, more than suspic-
ion of this business institution or
that. We must have sane and con-
structive cooperation, among bust
ness leaders, among financiers and
the public at large. Nothing will
do more to bring back confidence
and build a solid foundation for
business and financial revival.
Confidence and cooperation must
displace diseord and suspicion.
Red Lodge daily news combined with Carbon County news., 1933-03-08

There are, of course, many
things which a national govern
ment can do in time of financial
disaster to ameliorate conditions.
But there are perhaps more ways
the administration can be helpful
by not doing than by performing.
Examples which come to mind are
mot adopting monetary initiation"
and mot interfering with legiti-
mate business" These are mega
tive but constructive positions
which are bound to be helpful if
continued.

NATIONAL
AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

During the presidential cam
paign last year, all sorts of gov
ernmental remedies for the de-
preston were suggested. Most Of
these were based on the assump-
ton that all congress had to do
was to pass a law which, signed
by the president, would completely
change the picture and bring back
prosperity to the American peo-
pie. A great many voters, ordin-
arily Republican, voted for a
change of administration in the
hope that, in some mysterious
way, Democratic victory alone
would restore good times. That
they were fooled by their own
hopes is now becoming evident, as
is always the case when n be-
lieves in a legislative Santa Claus.
