JAMES ATTACKS
FORMER CHIEF
AT GAME MEET
Takes Ovenden To Task For
Charges Made Against
Game Department
Talks In County
Present Director Tells Views AT
Annual Sportsmen's Club
Meeting

Centering scorching attack or
charges broadcast recently by Lou
Ovenden, former state director of
game, Ray F. James, present di-
rector, told Okanogan county
sportSmen at their annual meeting
in Omak Sunday that he resented
Lou Ovenden painting a rosy pic
ture of the first year of state game
control and then leaving me to
carry the blame for the second
year."
He pointed out that Mr.. Oven
den had not assumed office until
the department had become organ
lied and had operat ed several
months, whereas Ovenden claims
the credit for accomplishments of
the entire period.
"Mr. Ovenden was my friend and
still is as long as he lays off the
department. of game" the game
chief said. His address was the fea-
ture talk at the meeting, which fol-
lowed the annual banquet, held this
year at the James j. Hill hotel here.
More than 100 sportsmen, rep
resenting practically every game
club in the county, attended the
session and reelected Leonard
Therriault, Pateros, president of the
county club. DR.. G. A. Eberlein,
Tonasket, was elected vice president
and O. H. Woody, Okanogan, secre-
tary.
Pointing to specific charges made
against the department by Oven
den, Mr.. James said:
=. Hits. Charges - 4.
"Ovenden has claimed that the
elk control on the Olympic pen
ninsula was under his supervision
and he has taken the credit for
handling the situation. AS matter
of fact it was directly under my
supervision and Ovenden had 10th
ing to do with it.
"He has charged that I was re-
sponsible for a heavy loss in the
game bird hatch at Steillacoom
when actually it was through an
experiment carried on by Ovenden
himself that these birds were lost.
The game bird situation was his
baby and I'm not going to take
the blame for it,"
Mr.. James urged in his talk that

PLEADS GUILTY
IN FEDERAL CASE
LARGEST LIQUOR RING IN MON.
TANA UNDER INDICTMENT;
16 PERSONS INVOLVED

First r~everberations in the big Liv-
ingstOn liquor conspiracy case, invOlv-
ing some 16 persons including two
Chicago commission brokers, were
heard in federal court a few days ago
at Livingston, when Walter Walker
appeared before Judge George M.
Bourquin and entered a plea of guilty.
Walker has been in Jail since his ar
rest nearly two months ago because Of
inability to furnish bond of 81 900. Judge
Bourquin deferred sentence until the
remainder of the defendants have made
appearance, and released Walker on his
own recognizance in view of the time
he had spent in confinement.
Indictments were returned against
the 16 defendants by a federal grand
jury in Butte last fall. The action fol-
lowed the seizure Of more than 1000
in Livingston early last summer. The
raid was n of the last official acts of
Sam Roberts, former deputy prohibition
administrator for Montana.
Federal authorities assert the raid
uncovered one Of the biggest liquor
rings that ever operated in Montana.
They allege that Dominica F. johnson
Of Livingston, at liberty under $1,000
bond, was the leader. The ring is as
serted to have shipped moonshine
whiskey all over the country and to
have had customers in approximately
40 states. The two Chicago commits
sion brokers under Indictment are al
legged to have acted as agents Of the
ring in distributing the liquor. Thir-
teen of the defendants were arrested
in Montana by Deputy o. S. Marshal
w. G. Packer.

MONTANA COTTON
CROP IS A FLOP
MISS LAURA FREDERICKS PLANTS
COTTON SEEDS AND DISCOVERS
POTATOES GROWING

The hen that Matched out an egg
only to find she had brought into
the world an ugly duckling, has
nothing on Laura Fredericks of the
real estate division Of the state de-
partment Of agriculture.
She nurtured four cotton seeds in the
window box Of her office, and they
Matched out potatoes. Office colleagues
claimed that Laura had bested Bur-
bank and had brought forth a cotton
lined potato.
Miss Fredericks planted the four cot
ton seeds herself. Each morning she
carefully dropped warm water over the
trusting spots where she had planted
the seeds. There was great excitement
in the state agricultural department
when tiny green sprouts thrust their
tender tongues through the soil and
out into the air.
Only one person in the department,
Mark Rowan, failed to take the cot
ton-growing fete seriously. While the
cotton plants grew and waxed strong,
he only exhibited the cunning smirk of
a fox. For next to Laura's cotton seeds
he had inserted four potato eyes.
Lie Breeu SploutS grew, CHe SleuueE
stems branched out, the leaves unfold
ed. Laura could be seen almost daily
watching her cotton" For the raising
Of cotton in the cold, wintry state OF
Montana might have revolutionized the
agricultural industry. Each night she
wrapped the plants with bits of burlap.
Each morning they were treated with
warm water.
The shock came a few days ago. AS
she was watering her field of cotton,
a potato bug crawled up nj of the
shoots and started to nibble on a leaf.
Laura is all through with cotton now.
Montana is still a wheat and potato
producing state.

Farmers Warned Not to Accept
Allowance for Hog Processing Tax

to sell to any buyer who makes or pro-
poses to make any such deduction.
Names of hog producers following this
practice, together with full particulars
on individual cases, should be forward
ed to DR.. A. G. Black, chief of the corn
hog section, Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, Washington, D. G. The
administration will use all powers un-
der the existing law to prevent fradu-
lent practices in connection with the
collection of processing taxes.
The administration points out that
country buyers who deduct the tax from
the price offered farmers and who then
resell the live hogs to another person
or professor, simply r taking advant-
age of the farmer in order to. realize a
larger profit on the shipment than
otherwise would be obtained. This is
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1934-01-26

because country buyers who do not
slaughter hogs are not required to pay
the processing tax.
Slaughterers who deliberately deduct
the tax from bids based on the regular
market quotations. really escape paying
any tax at all, because the sum they
pay the government is offset by the de-
duction they make in the price they pay
the seller.
In contrast, the majority of persons
who slaughter hoys pay the full quoted
price for the live hog and in addition
pay the government the processing tax
out OF the proceeds from the hog pro-
ducts.

Roosevelt Stand Talked.
Of principal interest to speculative
forces was the Roosevelt challenge to
industry to raise wages and further
reduce hours in order to increase jobs
and lift from the Government the task
of furnishing unemployment.
Although it was felt in some quarters
that higher pay and shorter hours
would, at least temporarily, cat ccr-
poration profits substantially. there
was also a disposition to consider the
! longer-term aspects of the problem
with some degree OF optimism.
| The Presidents thought that mo
one opposes reasonable profits for busi-
| ness and industry" was in line with
/ previous expressions from the White
House At the same time much at
/ tention was paid 10 the Executives
comment that the country is still in
the stage where the profit motive must
/ take into account the fact thousands
are still unemployed. In the long
run. he pointed out, profits will de-
| pend on getting the idle back TO work.
Feelings Are Mixed.
| Market analysts read with mixed
! feelings the other portions OF the
+ presidential speech, which included a
/ condemnation OF unjustifled price in
/ creases under the n. R. A codes. a
/ renewed request that consumers buy
under the Blue Eagle, a plea for cen
I tinued and better protection for small
industries, a demand for freedom Tor
labor to organize unhampered BY en-
ploycrs domination and warning
that the N. r. A. act would be en-
| forced with a firner hand.
Publication OF the names Of those
who sold aviation stocks for both long
and short account just prior to the
recent break in these issues following
cancellation Of airnlail contracts ap-
/ parently had little effect on prices.
Some interest was shown in the an
nouncement that the Senate commit
tee had ordered Counsel Pecora to
investigate short holdings in the
aviation group with the view of de-
termining if fictitious accounts we're
USED by public officials.
