Rome, Aug 6. - Premier Mussolini's

before next year. A number of
changes have come recently in the
secondary jobs. Postmaster Gen.

Claude Bowers, former editorial
writer and keynoter at the 1928
Democratic national convention,
will be brought into the cabinet Sc
that his ringing oratory can be uti-
lied next year.
On a basis of present prospects
speakers will be much in demand
next year. Six months ago the Ad-
ministration's political sages die
not see the necessity of much cam
paigning. The present Congress
and recent political blunders BY
the administration have brought
such deluge of criticism and such
an obvious revolt in many parts Of
the country that a full-throatec
campaign is now in prospect. VI

Helena, Mont. - MANY insur-
ance companies are springing into

insurance in the state of Montana,

John ]. Holmes, State Auditor.
These companies do not procure a
state insurance license before pro-

companies wholly fail to appoint
the State Auditor and Ex-officio
Commissioner of Insurance their

In the event that a Montana citi-
zen purchases a contract of insur-

occasion to litigate a claim arising
under the contract, the citizen
must seek the aid of the courts
of the state in which the company
is domiciled, as service of process
cannot be secured on the company
in this state. Where service of pro-
cess cannot be made upon the COM
pany in this state, it is obvious
that the courts of the State of
Montana cannot obtain jurisdiction
over the company.

A united front of big business
and private charity organizations
has been working for a bill to ex.
empt from taxation I'D to 5 no,

given to charity. Pres. Roosevelt
explained his opposition to the

to do their own giving away In
stead of the company docking div.

Lumberjack's Life no Bed
OF Roses With Low Pay

Port Arthus, Canada. -(FP)-
Mayor Cox, together with other
lumber barons, has been painting
glowing accounts of alleged condi-
tons in the lumber camps. This
picture, according to the lumber
jacks strike bulletin, would make
one think that "the workers life
was a bed Of roses instead of
spruce and balsam branches"
"Leaky bunkhouses, cramped
quarters, bad food and low wages
are described in such a way that
you would believe that the men
live better than Cox and his pals
In their own mansions with a few
Wallets to boot" says the bulletin,
which offers evidence from the
lumberjacks themselves.
Three lumberjacks, the bulletin
declares, made 022.49 between
them for 80 days combined work
after the company had taken de-
auctions for transportation, board
and medical fees.

SWISS WHEAT
CROP INCREASES

Washington, d. c. = The 1896
wheat crop in Switzerland is ex-
pected to reach the record total
of $4,000 bushels, according to
a cable received by the Bureau Of
Agricultural Economics from the
International Institute of Agri-
culture at Rome. This would be 16
per cent more than the annual av.
erage for the five years 1930-34.
Wheat growers in Switzerland
have received government aid since
the World War. Since July 7, 1882
this assistance has taken the form
of government purchases of the
domestic crop at a guaranteed
price which cannot be less than "a
francs per 100 kilos ($3.O2 per bu
shel nor more than 45 francs pei
100 hlos ($4.00 per bushel.) Th'
minimum price was paid for th'
1884 crop and the same figure hal
been set for the 1885 crop.

THE ONE SOLUTION

According to an article in The
Index, federal expenditures during
the past four fiscal years have to-
tailed SIS, O00, 900, OO0-a sum which
represents more than 80 per cent
of the wartime expenditures of 19-
Is and 1919, and which is about
equal to the total of all federal
expenditures from 1889 to 1914.
The inevitable result of that
spending has been increasing fed
eral deficits, followed by an as
founding expansion of the federal
debt. The deficits started in 1881,
with a little less than one billion
dollars, and rose steadily until
1885, when that years deficit (fis-
cal year ended June S0l reached
$780, 100000 And the gross feder-
al debt, since 1880 has increased
$12, 0OO, 900, 000-more than rs per
cent.

range for a country mass meeting
of farmers, at which their prob
lens could be discussed and a pro-
gram formulated by which they
might save themselves from an
other winter of labor in the gravel
pits.
Last winter, with the tempera-
ture as low as 80 degrees below
zero, hundreds of South Dakota
farmers worked in the pits, and
depended for the rest of their ex-
istence on inadequate relief This
winter, according to Mrs. Julia
Rockstad, chairman of the United
Farmers League committee, they
face the same fate, in spite of
prospects for an excellent crop. In
almost every case the unharvested
grain is mortgaged to the Farm
Credit Association and other credit
organizations. The mortgages were
taken in the spring in exchange
for loans for feed and seed to en-
able the farmers to start produc-
ton.

30 DAYS OF DUCK
HUNTING ALLOWED
President Approves Open
Season With
Restrictions

Washington, D. C. - Duck hun
tiers will have 80 days for shoot
ing this fall, but they will hunt in
accordance with the most rigid re-
gulations in the history of Ameri-
can wildfowling.
So says the U. S. Biological Sur
vey in summarizing new Migra-
tory Bird Treaty Act regulations
announced today Aug. u by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Recommended by the Biological
Survey and adopted by R G. Tug
well as Acting Secretary of Agri-
culture, the regulations were ap-
proved in a proclamation by Pres
ident Roosevelt on July 80.
The new regulations, says the
Biological Survey, are based on
the necessity of having a net an
nual increase left over at the end
of the shooting season until the de-
pleted population of migratory
waterfowl is restored to normal.
This years rigid restrictions, viii
oh follow a period of approximate
ly 35 years during which the kill
each year has exceeded the annual
increase from BREEDING, are sum-
married by the Bureau as follows:
Those species which are nearest
the danger point of extinction,
such as canvasbacks and redheads
will be particularly favored by the
elimination of sinkboxes, sneak
boats, and open water shooting,
practices which have been the chief
methods of taking these species
Shooting over baited water OF
land, which has furnished the hea-
West toll from all species and ac-
counted for the most consistent
full bag limits, will be prohibited
Live decoys, one of the most eff
fective methods of Turing the mi
gratory flocks to the blind, are al
so ruled out. None will be allowed
Zoning of states by seasons will
be eliminated, and there will be
only two zones, nortern and south.
ern.
Shooting will be restricted to the
hours between am. and 4 pm
Some bag limits have been reduc
ed. The possession Of more thar
one days bag has been made il
legal.
The S-shell limit placed On auto
loading and repeating shotgunl
last February will take effect fol
the first time this fall, and the new
regulations provide that hunter
may use shotgun only, not large,
than no. 10 gage.
