WHEAT CLIMBS
IN WINNIPEG

WINNIPEG, Nov. I G.N.SJ.
Two minutes after the Winnipeg
Grain Exchange opened today
with prices pegged at request
of the Canadian government,
wheat futures advanced from 13s
to 112 cents per bushel.
Traders ascribed the sudden
rise to the aid of strong advices
from Liverpool.
December wheat was quoted at
763sc and May futures at 813sc.
In announcing last night that
prices would be pegged, exchange
officials set 80 cents per bushel
as the minimum price for May
wheat and IS cents as the
minimum for December futures.
At the close of the market yes
terday the December option price
was 75c a bushel, the price at
which it was pegged, while the
May future closed at 797sc, 1s of
a cent below the pegged price,
and a cent and a half below the
advanced price quoted today.
The wheat prices were pegged
by the exchange on Fort William
basis. John I. Mcfarland, Cana
dian wheat pools official. stated
the action was taken because of
new outside selling. Mcfarland
was recently in Ottawa, where he
discussed with Prime Minister r.
B. Bennett the problem of protect
ing the exchange from outside
gamblers who were accused of at
tempting to wreck the Winnipeg
price structure.

1t is not at all necessary that,
when we get tired of New Deal eX.
periments, we should fall back
into all the bad spots we have
ever known. We can and will con-
tinue to progress.
For example, people of all par
ties agree that commercial bank.
ing must be cleaned up and be
made sound and safe. So it is
with stock market speculation,
corporate abuses. and exploitation
OF women and child labor. No one
doubts or denies this.
Furthermore, dishonesty and
fraud and monopoly in business
are no more against the law now
than they have ever been. There
have long been plenty of laws
against them. New Deal or no
New Deal, all We have to do is
to enforce the laws.
(And if we won't do that, be.
cause we don't take enough in
terest in the matter, why should
we suppose that any change in
the politicians at Washington
will make things differently
We now have constant Govern.
ment manipulation and specula-
ton. Is that any better than
private manipulation and specu-
lation? Is the graft that always
goes on when politicians handle
large funds any better than ex-
cessive private profits? Is Gov
ernment price fixing any better
than private price fixing? Has
the Government not been the
greatest money changer ever
known?
If we don't want to go back,
let us get rid of all manipula.
ton, graft, monopoly and money
changing.
What / want to get back to
Is honesty, common sense, and
SOlvency. l want to know that

which tends to government, and,
aside from giving me reasonable
protection, let's me run my own

I want the good parts of our
American civilization-and these

Why gamble on an unknown
and ever-changing experiment,
when we can build upon our past,
and improve upon what we know?
Let us not go back, but let US

BANKING '[AUDS
BANKERS

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The
banking and business situation in
the United States in midautumn
may be considered the soundest
it has been for three years if for
no other reason than that the
principal forces "are facing mat
ters on a basis of realism" there
being "less of a spirit of expert
mentation on the part of the
Government and less Of a spirit
of intransigeance on the part of
says Banking, published
by the American Bankers Associa-
ton, in it's monthly business re-
view. The review adds:
Both are convinced that an
understanding is necessary and
are trying to reach it. The
Government has commenced to
realize that its plans for end
ing unemployment and the
heavy drain upon the Treasury
can succeed only if long term
capital can be induced to turn
to the heavy industries, and
has been endeavOring to satisfy
business interests that its plans
are entirely consistent with in
veStment safety.
"It must be admitted that so
far business has shown q dis
position to wait a little longer
before making the plunge.
Nevertheless more of spirit of
accommodation and cooperation
is apparent. This is especially
true of banking. The latter, in
fact, is taking the lead in a
general endeavor to get busi-
ness and the Government to-
gether in a satisfactory recOv-
cry program"

I think that this is pretty
much bunk, and I'll tell you why.
In the first place, going
back" means SO many different
things to different people, that
really it means nothing.
Sometimes the alternative
seems to mean going back to
March 1888 or June 1882, or in
other words to a somewhat
deeper depression in business.
Sometimes it seems to mean
going back to list of things
selected as containing all the
worst features of our past
financial skull-duggery and politi-
cal corruption.
If you will pick out just what
year compared with the pres
enD you don't want to go back
to, or just what ones OF our past
legal institutions you would get
away from, you will begin to
think straight. Then you can
ask, what has the New Deal done
permanently to improve things.
In the second place, our
alternative to the New Deal
Is not to go back to the worst.
Most emphatically, we don't
have to choose between the
New Deal and March, 1888 or
Harding politics or insult
finance.
Who has the right to say
that we can't improve on those
things without abandoning our
tried and tested OrganiZat ton?
Have we never had any good
times in this cOuntry-times
of real prosperity and political
integrity?

Survival of Plagiarism
in English Rural Life

Rural England remains pagan at
heart, l.. f. Ramsey asserts, in the
London Saturday Review.
Even the worship OF the old heather
gods continues in the reverence shown
to certain trees. You may notice, for
instance, elders growing in most in
convenient places. in front of win
dow or out of wall. yet In Sussex
have been grayely told that to cut
down elder would bring suffering and
disaster. Now, elder was sacred to
Pan: Pan-pipes were made Of Its
wood.
Tamarlsk grows along our southern
coast, but you never see a villager
gathering tamarisk. No villager would
allow 1t to be brought into the house.
You never see tamarisk hedges prop
erly pruned unless they grow In the
gardens OF people from another coun-
ty. Tamarisk was a holy tree when
Osiris was worshiped in Egypt 1t
was the tree that overshadowed his
sepulcher and the chest containing his
body was said to have been found by
Isis lodged In Its branches when 1t
was driven ashore by the waves. And
as holy tree the tamarisk Is regard
ed by Sussex natives who have never
heard of Osiris.

APPLICATIONS INCREASE WEEKLY
IN LOCAL CREDIT ASSOCIATION

Application for farm production loans
from the Western Montana Production
Credit Association have increased
greatly in the past week, according to
W. G. Cruise, secretary Of the
association. q
During the past week the 81 produc-
ton credit associations in the states of
Washington, Montana, Oregon and
Idaho, comprising the 18th district Of
the Farm Credit Administration, there
have been over 5000 applications filed
This is an increase of approximately 30
per cent over the previous week.
Applications continue to come in in
large numbers from farmers and stock
men of Missoula, Ravalli, Lake, Flat
head, Powell, Sanders, Lincoln, Silver
Bow, Mineral, Granite and Deer Lodge
counties, which indicates that credit
facilities as offered by this association
are being appreciated" Mr.. Cruise
stated.
The reason for the increase is due in
part to the recent interest rate reduc-
ton from 512 to per cent. Farmers
are also realizing that money can be
saved by securing loans on budget
basis which really gives the farmer his
money at an interest rate less than S
per cent.
The association will advance money
to the farmer only when he needs it,
if the farmer wishes, and the borrowers
don't begin paying interest charges un-
til they start using the money, accord
ing to Mr.. Cruise This will make a saw
ing OF about $50 on loan of $1,000.
Facilities at the Federal intermediate
Credit Bank and the Production Credit
Corporation, both in Spokane, are such
that the new applications can be
handled promptly
The local production credit associa-
ton is supervised by the Spokane Pro-
duction Credit corporation, and the
funds are secured by rediscounting
farmers notes by the Intermediate
Credit Bank of Spokane. County agents
are able to give additional information
to any farmer not familiar with the
procedure Of making application.

DROUTH CAUSES LIFTING
OF PLANTING RESTRICTIONS

BOHEMIAN, May 2s-Twenty Mon
tana counties have been designated by
Chester c. Davis, administrator of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act, as sec
ondary drouth counties in which re-
strictions as to planting of feed crops
is removed on all except the contracted
acres, according TO word received here
by ]. c. Taylor, director, Montana Ex-
tension Service.
The decision was made, Taylor says,
because the continued drouth may
cause serious shortage Of feed. With
the planting restrictions removed farm
ers may plant corn for forage and any
other feed crop they may choose on any
part of their farms except the areas
designated as contracted acres. Should
the drouth continue more counties may
be relieved of restrictions and a live
stock relief program inaugurate d.
