Less Hours of Work

In the battle against unemployment the hours
OF work in industry generally have been shortened
but there are indications that another reduction will
have to be made Ii the more than 10, 600 900 unem-
ployed are to be put to work.
Eventually the whole country has got to 20
on a shorter work week recently said General
Johnson, r Administrator. "You can't make 1t a
UNIFORM week by fiat without raising Cain. And
whatever is done, our studies show, it's got to be In
multiples of eight
While no definite proposal has been made yet
the probability is that a four-day week, each day OF
eight work hours, may be attempted. MIRA officials
estimate that the f~orty-hour week provided in most
OF the industrial codes made jobs for 1900 900
people. A reduction Of working time to thirty-two
hours each week should add at least another million
and a half to the list Of employed.
1t should be borne In mind, however. that al
though nearly eleven million have registered as un-
employed, this list represents many Implications or
actual need. More members OF a family than one
put their Eames on the list for work.

The Penal System Failure

In New York City, in Kansas. In California
and in a half dozen other states recent investiga-
tons have revealed conditions in state and NUM-
cipal prisons both startling and repulsive.
In some measure they are to be expected In in
situations attempting the control and discipline OF
all classes of men and women who must answer to
the law for violence toward society.
Prisons are not nice places. Yet they hardly
need be unspeakable plague spots upon the earth
and universities for the graduation into society of
criminals more hardened and precocious when they
are released than when they are received. Dumb
administration is responsible in some cases. Add to
1t political tavoritism and graft, and plain, old fash
Toned %scorching hell. so far as conditions generally
are concerned, is the result. That is clearly proven
In the case Of New York Bridewell, dominated by
g~angsters, ~peddling narcotics and manufacturing
home brew within the walls.
The truth is that systems OF penal administra-
ton have progressed none too far In five centuries
and that the ancient legend Who enters here leaves
hope behind" might well be displayed from two
thirds Of the country's prisons.
1t is doubtful If conditions will ever become
much better under present methods OF administra-
ton. There can be Improvement, OF course. but un-
TIL more attention is paid to nipping crime In the
bud at Its source and correcting the conditions un-
der which it Is fostered, we shall have these condf-
tions.
nClhC UT punishment ID tine theory
upon which men are imprisoned, recent experiences
clearly spotlight one fact. 1t Is that legal execu-
lions, however, abhorrent. are more desirable and
efficient, III you will, than a system that turns men
out OF prison and upon society better fitted and
more efficient and dangerous as criminals than when
they entered.
Penology is an art. Crime has become an art
that transcends it. Craft honeycombs the country's
prison system. Intelligence, honesty, science, must
be applied to correct conditions which make men as
much a menace behind prison walls as without them.

Grasshopper Control

When grasshoppers take a crop they leave a
trail of utter desolation behind them. While parts
OF our own section of Montana and western North
Dakota were heavily infested last year. conditions
in South Dakota were far worse. 1t is hard to imag-
inc anything more utterly depressing than farmers
of that state experienced. During this winter more
than SO per cent of the people were forced to live
entirely by emergency relief because their crops had
been entirely wiped out by hoppers and drouth.
The hardy, resourceful westerner, with which
we are blessed in this country, is reluctant to admit
any obstacle that is beyond his control-even grass
hoppers. The alarm has often been spread before
there was any real reason for ii. as In the case OF
the little green bHg in parts of this area Two years
ago.
Yet the legends and current conditions dictate
that 1t Is good business to fight the hopper plague.
The scientist is not always right. but when grass
hoppers do take a crop, there is nothing left to do
but grin and bear 1t, and pay the bill, either direct
ly or indirectly. 1t always cost more than any In
dividual o. any community can bear alone.
1t Is well to remember all these facts as a cam
pafgn is now getting under way for grasshopper
control.
The scientists tell us the migratory grasshopper
has appeared In this section. There are heavily in
tested areas. They may be fertilized or neutralized
by weather conditions. Anything may happen.
At best the methods for combating grasshop-
ners are none too effective. But no one who can
remember the pitiful anxiety there was here in the
summer OF 1888, while the control fight was on,
will be disposed to question the current campaign
FOR a federal appropriation to spread poison for
grasshopper control.
Montana should get behind 1t. 1t should be
prepared for anything. Tt should not pooh pooh the
facts the scientists present in a world where ii is
clearly shown that insect pests are d threat TO ciyi.
iization itself.
An efficient campaign to fight grasshoppers is
outlined. 1t will pay to cooperate in 1t. Certainly
there is nothing to lose, as the farmer who has lnst
a crop by hopDers will readily agree.

1T CAN BE DONE

What chance has community to
protect itself from the flood of alco-
holic beverages which has been turn
ed loose by repeal and the return of
licensed saloons.
At least one small community in
Cecil county which has never had a
licensed saloon, in attempting to find
out, has had hard job. The appli-
cant for a Beer license, one of the
various forms of license controlled,
and rightly so, by the Liquor Board,
to secure his ten signers apparently
had some difficulty in this arid COM
munity.
In contrast, those opposing the
granting of the license secured with
out any difficulty, the names Of three
out of every four people, property
owners, appealed to in the immedi-
ate vicinity, on petition opposing
the granting of said license.
A delegation of Is people took the
petition and presented their protest
at the hearing on the case in ques-
ton and were given very satisfac-
tory audience by the County Liquor
Board and the license was refused.
1t can be done but it takes work
and plenty of worry to- save your
community from having its one store
turned into a Beer Saloon where the
children of the neighborhood run in
and out to spend their pennies and
those without means of transporta-
ton to nearby towns must buy their
bread and butter.
When and how will the tide turn?

GIGANTIC WINDBREAK

There is nothing new about the
idea of a windbreak. Trees and
hedges have been planted for cen
turtles in order to temper the force
of the gale. But proposal to grow
a windbreak consisting of 100 lines
of trees on 1,S00-mile strip of ter
ritory 100 miles wide is news.
The idea is to extend this barrier
against the winds from the Canadian
border to the Texas Panhandle. The
announcement of the plan byA the
American Tree Association comes at
a time when there is talk of man
made deserts in America as the
drought-dried soil is driven vbefore
the wind. Pictures of some of the
effects of western dust storms show
buildings nearly buried. Charles
Lathrop Pack, president Of the Tree
Association, sees in the windbreak a
saving value in the dust-storm area
OF course, it is proposed that
Uncle Sam should pay for the work,
which is estimated to require 10 to
IL years in getting started through
the planting of the trees. The cost
is placed at $4,000. 900, of which
the major portion would be the cost
of labor With the Administration,
the plan as yet has no official stand
ing. II is one of many that are re-
ceiving consideration. At least it
may be said in its behalf, pending III
vestigation by Government experts.
that it doubtless has more to COM
mend it than great many of the
projects for which Federal aid is de-
siered.

KEEPING OUT OF WAR

During the current threatening
situation in Austria the cry of our
pulpits, statesmen and the press is
stay out of it," The same cry was
elected in 1915 with the slogan
HE kept us out of war" but how
different it was in the spring OF
1917.
Lest we forget, lest we forget, is it
not appropriate to review Mark
Twain's comment on war from 1.-THE
Mysterious Stranger" written the
year before the World War?
There has never been just one,
never an honorable one-on the part
of the instigator of the war. / can
see a million years ahead, and this
rule will never change in SO many as
half a dozen instances. The loud
little handful-as usual-will shout
for the war. The pulpit will
warily and cautiously-object-
first; the great, big, duh bulk of the
nation will rub it's sleepy eyes and
try to make out why there should be
war, and will say, earnestly and
Indignantly, 1t is unjust and dishon-
orable, and there is no necessity
for it,
"Then the handful will shout
louder. A few fair men on the 9TH
er side will argue and reason against
the war with speech and pen, and at
first will have a hearing and be ap-
plauded; but it will not last long;
those others will outshout them, and
presently the anti-war audiences will
thin out and lose popularity.
Before long you will see this cur
ious thing: the speakers stoned
from the platform, and free speech
strangled by hordes of furious men
who in their secret hearts are still
as one with those stoned speakers
as earlier-but do not dare to say So
And the whole nation-pulpit
and all-will take up the war-cry,
and shout itself hoarse, and mob
any honest man who ventures to
open his mouth; and presently such
mouths will cease to open.
Next the statesmen will invent
cheap lies, putting the blame upon
the nation that is attacked, and eve
ry man will be glad of those con-
science-soothing falsities, and will
diligently study them, and refuse to
examine any refutations of them;
and thus he will by and by convince
himself that war is just, and will
thank God for the better sleep he en-
joys after this process of grotesque
self-deception."

NEW RECIPROCAL TARIFF LAW
IN MOTION

The much opposed, much defend
ed, Reciprocal Tariff Bill which gives
the President the unchecked power
to make agreements with foreign ma
tions whereby we will lower the tar
IFS on their goods by as much as SO
per cent, passed the last Congress.
On July 23 the machinery it created
went into motion for the first time,
when negotiations for reciprocal
treaty with Cuba were started.
No piece of legislation of the last
two years is more far-reaching than
the tariff bill, or more potentially
important. The Administration plans
to use it in vast effort to rehabili-
tate world trade, break the interna-
tional commercial deadlock that is
now tieing up the ports of the world,
and make the tariff an instrument in
restoring prosperity.
