POLITICAL JINGOING

We have it on the very best of information, eX- erpts from various Administration speeches, that the poor deuded American people laboring under a dictatorship. It is bad in some instances that President Roosevelt turns out to be Stalns left and we are right in step with Moscow. All we have to do is buy few scythes and sickles and them and we'll be right under the red flag Our freedom is being taken away from us, and let's see oh yes, in the midst of active and actual revolution Of course there is a remote possibility that just presidential election year. but it sounds worse to call it revolution and mention Stalin a couple of times, because he probably doesn't read the American papers anyway.
 But it is the freedom of the press that is really serious. In all dictator controlled countries the newspapers either print what the Dictator says or they do not print So have been perusing news papers from coast to coast in effort to find out whose doing all this dctating.
 ing President Roosevelt to task in uncertain language So it isn't MT. Roosevelt. Then, figure it must be Governor Landon. But no, we find very full-blooded Democratic paper taking MT. Landons hide off and hanging it on the fence verbally Further deduction brings up the names of James Farley the Democratic committee cheftain, and John Hamilton who has similar capacity with the Republican party But then find Republican newspaper asserting be a cinch, and Democratic paper giving column

and half of free information to MT. Farley, with the pointed paragraph at the end that if MT Farley would go and hide his head in barrel and let some o the real brains of the Democratic party do the job tl-ere would be nothing to it. Result: Ample proof tlat it isn't MT Farley MT Hamilton who doing tie dictating
 Then it must be MT. Hearst He makes most of the noise. But, strange thing, MT Hearst does most of his believing in his own newspapers find while the other papers handle him sort of the big bed man of the publishing business So MT Hearst s out the dictator. He couldn't dictate to his employees down at the Seattle P.-I They have been dctatng to him for the last seven weeks that he cent publish the P.-I
 It is a serious situation We have a dictatorship with dictator and revolution with no revolters

MONTANA STATE OOLLI0E
Housewives and other consumer
may buy potatoes in bulk or pack
ages In the usual way without fear
Of violating the stamp and closed
~c0ntainer sections OF, the potato act.
according to the AAA's Interpretation
Of the regulations issued by the bu-
reau Of internal revenue. q CODY of
which has been sent to Montana Ex-
tension service officials.
The potato act provides that only
buyers who knowingly purchase pota-
toes which are not packed in closed
and stamped containers at the time
of first sale, Are subject to the pen
alties. This means AAA officials point
out, that a buyer would not violate the
act In this respect unless he purchased
potatoes direct from the grower, know
ing that the grower had not compiled
with the requirements of the law.
Most retail sales of potatoes do not
in any manner come within the scope
of the potato act. The act says that
the first sale of potatoes harvested
and sold on or after Dec. /, 1885 shall
be in closed containers bearing tax
exempt or tax-paid stamps. First sale
means only the initial sale by the pro-
ducer and potatoes sold by retailers do
not represent first sale unless the re-
taller is also a grower Of the potatoes
he is selling. Retailers, therefore, may
resell potatoes loose in paper bags or
in any other %container and the con-
sumner need have no concern when
tax-exempt or tax-paid stamps are not
on the package.
Virtually all potatoes now being Of
fered were harvested prior to Dec. l,
1885. These potatoes do not come with

which affects only crops actually har-
vested on Or after Dec. l. Only about
l percent of the total potato crop of
the United States is normally dug be-
tween Dec. l and March /. The other
SO percent of III crop comes from
states which harvest during the nine
months from March l to Dec. l.
