Editor Waterbury Democrat:
 Just been wondering how things are going in the Old Brass City Once in awhile I pick up a Demo crat from the out-of town news stand and I have been interested in your editorials and articles cov- ering the economic problems which so many of us are facing.
 Harking back to the year 1928 in the city of Detroit. Living in Detroit means being economically tied up with the automobile in- dustry. There are only two other industries of any size--burroughs Adding Machine and Parke-Davis Pharmaceutical House. These lat ter industries are insignificant in comparison to the automobile in- dustry. There are several branch manufacturing plants furnishing material and parts for the automo- bile makers.
 Henry Ford, the largest employ CT of labor directly connected with the automobile industry In Detroit, was engaged in discarding his Old model T for his new model A. It took about year to make the change. Previous to making the change in models he employed as many as ono hundred thousand persons in his various plants in and around Detroit. It became necessary for Ford to build q more modern ear or else lose his market which already had begun to sag notlceably. It was Q gtupendous cost to Ford and it wrought havoc among his employees. Thousands could not pay their taxes and mortage interest and lost thelr homos. Ford tried to alleviate the distress by opening ID stores in his plants whore the public could. buy ehenply--he was able to underBoll tho chain stores. lie operated groc cry, meat, erug, dry goods, shoe .':

The death of Colonel Richard C. Shaw, late editor of the Tombstone, Arizona, Epitaph, is one that will certainly evoke from many contemporaries picturesque obituaries. Sorry we haven't the space and time to devote to this colorful figure, one out of the rip-roarin' Wild West of the story books. If ever there lived man who typified the West of the old days and the West that our European neigh bors came to imagine from accounts, it was Colonel Shaw. Born in Ontario he saw his father build the first log cabin in Michigan. He was nomad all his life and knew the West.
 It's queer, when you think it over, that the University of Louisiana hasn't yet given Huey Long the degree of Doctor of Laws.

RAILROADS SHOULD
FOSTER INDUSTRY
Idaho Man Declares Roads
Can Create New
Business

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 24.-If
railroads will foster industries on
their own lines in interior COM
munities, they will create new bus
mess for themselves which no
competing carrier can take away,
and at the same time will provide
new employment for railroad men,
in the opinion of Captain Arthur
Ward of Lewiston, Idaho, vice
president of the National Rivers
and Harbors congress.
'The volume of traffic which
could be built up, having its
origin or destination at interior
points, is staggering" he wrote in
a letter to the intermediate Rate
association here, expressing his
opposition to attempts railroads
and railroad employees r MAX
ing to have congress repeal or
modify the long and short haul
law governing freight rates.
"That would be profitable bust
ness for the rail lines. 1t can be
secured without throwing other
men out of employment to make
work for additional railway work.
ers. It can be secured without dis
elimination against certain sec
tions and without unduly favoring
others, for it is new business.
"Years ago we had pirates on
the high seas. In due time, they
were destroyed and public opinion
has since made it unhealthy for a
renewal of that practice. The in
tent of the long and short haul
clause was to shut the door against
a similar practice in connection
with land movement of our COM
merce. Now is not the time to
even consider opening that door,"

MAN IS
INSTANTLY KILLED
IN TRUCK MISHAP
James N. Scott Loses Life
In Accident On
Washoe Hill

James n. Scott, about 70, a res
ident of Columbus, was instantly
killed at 11:15 a. m. Saturday
when the truck he was driving got
out of control while descending
Washoe hill and plunged over the
grade.
Preceded by a truck driven by
his son, S. w. Scott, also of Co.
lumbus, the father swung his run
away vehicle around that driven
by his son before going over the
embankment about 200 yards from
the top of the hill. The truck
rolled over three times, it was
stated, before it came to a stand
still right side up about $50 feet
from the road.
Scott was thrown out, the truck
rolling over him, crushing him to
death. His injuries included a
broken leg, a crushed skull and
crushed chest. He was dead when
his son reached him.
Both trucks were loaded with
mine ties for the Smith mine at
Bearcreek. The elder Scott was
driving a two and one-half ton In
ternational truck. The cab and
body of the truck were badly
wrecked in the mishap and the
left front wheel was sheared off
at the axle. The men had been en-
gagged in trucking the mine tim
bers from near Columbus.
Following an investigation at
the scene of accident by Coroner
Ross Martin, County Attorney E.
P. Conwell and Sheriff J.. R. Nc
Fate, it was stated that indica-
tions were that Scott lost control
of the truck while attempting to
shift gears in descending the
grade.
The body was taken to Column
bus Monday for burial.
Mr.. Scott had been a resident of
Columbus for the past 20 years,
coming there in 1914 and opening
a livery barn. He had also farmed
in that community and had been
in the trucking business, together
with his son, for the past few
years.
Mr.. Scott was a widower, Mrs.
Scott died in 1922.
Eight children survive. They
are Mrs. Daisy S~anderson and
Frederick Scott of Billings, Mrs.
C. H. Glenn, Mrs. /. E. Harring-
ton, Harvey and S. w. Scott of
Columbus, Harry Scott, serving
in the United States navy, and
William Scott, residing on the

Who's Who
Lists 119 Montana Persons;
Red Lodge Represented

One hundred nineteen Montana
men and women are listed in the
current edition of Who's Who in
America, an examination of a new
volume received here this week
revealed.
A total of 31,081 names of the
best known men and women of
the United States in all lines of
useful and reputable achievements
are included in the edition. Names
are selected for listing in the book
under two classifications: those
who have gained special promin-
ence in creditable lines of effort,
making them the subjects of ex-
tensive interest, inquiry and dis
cussion in this country, and those
arbitrarily chosen on account of
official position.
Only two women r among
Montana's representation. They
are Mary M. Atwater of Basin, an
expert in hand weaving, and Eliz-
abeth Ireland of Helena, educator
and at present state superintend-
ent of public instruction.

Red Lodges lone representative
among names listed is O. H. P.
Shelley, editor of The News. His
selection for listing in the volume
is based on services rendered in
political and public life and
through his sponsorship and se-
curance of an appropriation of
$4,000, 900 from the federal gov
eminent in 1880 to build a road
through national forests from Red
Lodge to Cooke City, Mont, MAX

STACK
Goes Up; Portends Industrial
Activity and Jobs

A new landmark doomed on Red
Lodges horizon this week-a land
mark that portends new industrial
activity, direct employment for
two score or more men and wo-
men in this community and added
revenue for city and county tax
Golfers.
The landmark is a huge, steel
~smokestack, erected by crews of
the Yellowstone Distilleries, Inc,
at the liquor-manufacturing plant
of the company now nearing COM
pletion here. The stack is to
serve the 200-horsepower steam
plant of the distillery.
Rising 81 feet into the air, the
stack is painted yellow and band
ed with black at its top, making it
visible from nearly all points In
and around the city. It's total
weight is three tons and it is re-
garded as one of the largest of its
type in this section.
However, little or no smoke will
be noticeable from the stack, as
boilers in the plant r to be gas
fired. This, officials pointed out,
will eliminate much SCOT and dirt
from the city as the plant is CEN
trally located in the business dis
trict. Special gas-burning equip
ment is to be installed this week,
C. S. Barnett, superintendent in
charge of plant construction, said,
and boilers will be heated as soon
as installation is made.
Steam power and utility lines
are now being installed as we'll as
feed, drainage and transfer lines
to the various working units of
the plant.

turn submits it to the federal
headquarters. Once the project
has been placed in the hands of
the local administrator, the mine
owner has only to wait for APP
proval or rejection of it.
Work on such projects is to be
done by the FERA and, it was
pointed out, not only will FERA
workers secure more jobs through
this program, but employment in
the mining industry will be meas
ureably increased as roads will
add much to the workability of
many mines now standing idle or
partially idle.
While in this region Mr.. Parker
will visit operations at Cooke City
and the chrome tunnels on He'll
Roaring plateau, south of here, in
which, he says, he has "been in
terested for quite sometime" He
will also gather material and pic
lures of these places for use in
feature articles to appear in the
mining journal.
Lack of the necessary publicity,
he believes, has been a detriment
to mining in this state. Through
its proper use, he added, many
eastern capitalists could be at
tracted to invest in Montana.
He looks upon the New World
mining district at Cooke as nj of
the most promising in the west
and believes activity in that reg
ion will be noted for some years
to come. Next year, with the OPP
ening of the new highway, the
camp should be in full swing, he
said.

The so-called New Deal is not
new and not liberal. 1t is degen-

These were charges laid before

address delivered to the assembly

at (the new deal) is not new
because its policies have been
tried in the countries of the old
world since history began. 1t is
not liberal for wherever they have
been tried they have bred tyranny
and ruin" Col. Roosevelt declared.
1.-THE heart of the new deal is
the old outworn theory that a be-
nevolent tyranny is the best form
of government. Its philosophy is
that men should be cared for as
animals are cared for, that the
state should keep the individual,
not the individual the state"
The colonel further declared:
To-day there are many, cowed by
fancied dangers, softened by lux
uries, who are eagerly seeking to
shove the responsibility for their
existence upon the government.
They believe that somehow they
can do this without surrendering
opportunity. This Of course is

only as long as there is response
bility. They are Siamese twins,
and if you kill one the other dies"
Col. Roosevelt cited instances
that the new deal policies had
been tried before down through
the rolls of history and in every
instance it brought tyranny and
ruin. The Roman emperor Do
cletian, it vas stated, was a New
Dealer. He debased the currency,
fixed prices and wages and or
dered one-third of the vineyards
plowed up among other things.
The result was the collapse of his
empire.
Among Others in history who
tried the new deal, as cited by Col.
Roosevelt were Frederick the Sec
ond, German emperor of the thir-
teenth century, who encouraged
monopolies, dictated prices and
the terms of sales and regimented
agriculture. The result was an
unbearable tyranny under which
the people could not endure. And
in the fifteenth century there was

Montana mine-owners were
urged to make the most of an OPP
portunity now being extended by
the federal government through
the FERA for the building of
roads to mine properties by John
L. Parker, editor of the mining
division of the Montana Oil and
Mining Journal at Great Falls,
who arrived in Red Lodge Tues
day to spend a week or ten days
investigating mining operations in
this region.
Pointing out that the procedure
for obtaining good roads to any
worthwhile mine property is a
simple one with little or no red
tape connected with it, Mr.. Parker
declared this the greatest oppor-
tunity in years for mine owners to
give themselves a real boost. The
building of good roads to mine
properties, he added, has always
been a troublesome and expensive
problem to mine operators.
Now, through the aid of the
government, such roads may be
obtained with little effort. The
first step for the mine owner or
operator desiring the building or
the rebuilding of a road to his
property is to make sure that he
has clear title to his right of way.
In most cases no difficulty will be
encountered on this point as most
properties have some sort of road
leading to them, it was pointed
out.
The next step for the mine own
err is to submit his project to the
local FERA administrator who IN
