Do You Want the Open Saloon?

1t now begins to look as though the open saloon
question will be injected into the coming campaign to
further stir up strife and dissension. From Helena comes
the statement that Willard Fraser of Billings, who has
charge of the initiative measure, has filed another batch
of signed petitions that brings the measure very close to
securing its submission to the voters at the November
election.
1t requires 1871 qualified voters to have the init
alive measure placed on the ballot and up to last week
there were 1900 names of voters attached to the petit
tons, leaving but 3,6l0 to be secured, with several
months left in which to secure them. The law requires
eight per cent Of the legal voters of the state in two-ffths
Of the counties of the state. This will require the circu-
lation of petitions in % counties. AT this time petit
tons have been circulated and completed in 10 of the %
counties, leaving only four counties to be invaded be-
tween now and early October. 1t is quite likely that those
back Of the movement to legalize the retail sale of liquor
will succeed in getting a vote on the question, as the
matter of signing a petition is of little moment to many,
even though they may be opposed to the return of the
open saloon.
While we do not believe the people of Montana will
vote to return the open saloon, it will require much ac-
tivity directed against this measure once it is submitted
to encompass its defeat. There has been no apparent eff
fort made to oppose the signing of this initiative petit
ton, and if the same lack of interest prevails during the
coming campaign, we will have the open saloon to con-
tend with again.
While it / may be that our present system of handling
liquor traffic in Montana is not all that could be asked
for, it is infinitely better than going back to the open
saloon, which is the goal of the initiative measure now
being SO strongly pressed. The whole setup is born of
graft and greed on the part of those who want to sup
plant the state in the great profits to be made out of
the liquor business.
From a moral point of view, the present system has
everything in its favor and at the same time the state
receives all the profits from the sale of liquor, which
tends to tighten the general tax burden. Although the
younger generation may not be familiar with conditions
under the days of the open saloon, to us who have OBJ
served the evils before prohibition, the return of the
saloon can have no appeal.
We would ask those who are pushing this initiative
to advance one advantage the saloon has over the pres
ent system? About the only thing it could do would be
to enrich a class of people who are least interested in the
enforcement of law and order and take the profits away
from the state.
We hope and believe that the good people of Mon
tana will defeat this measure should its hackers be sue
cessful in securing the required number of legal voters to
bring it to an issue in the November election. 1t de-
serves defeat from every moral angle. 1t can only serve
the purpose of encouraging law violation and crime

The Outlook for Peace

The abandonment of Ethiopia to the Italians has not
made the outlook for peace in Europe any brighter. Mus
solini's complete conquest in spite of the protests of the
League of Nations has come as a serious disappointment
to the paciists who have chung to the belief that peace
can be maintained by persuasion. The hopes that were
built upon the supposed power and influence of the
League have been rudely shattered.
Italy is now in a position to form new alliances
which will strengthen its control Of the Mediterranean.
Great Britain is unwilling to yield to Italy any control
of the approaches to the Suez Canal or the headwaters
to the Nile. AS matters now stand, Italy could effectively
blockade the Canal, and has full control of Lake Tana,
from which the Nile derives most of its water. England's
supremacy in Egypt is also seriously threatened by the
death of King Fuad, leaving the monarchy under a IS
year-old boy.
1t is not surprising, then, that there is talk of an al
lance between Britain and Italy, who were SO lately
shaking their fists in each others faces. Italy is in serious
financial distress. Britain could give Mussolinis govern
ment monetary assistance at a time when it is most
needed. France might join in such an alliance for the
sake of preventing an alliance between Italy and Ger
many. AT the same time, there is talk of financial assist
ance from England to Germany, to keep Hitler from at
tempting the seizure of Czechoslovakia and Austria.
Meantime, European powers are engaged in the greatest
armament race in all history.

Pennv-Ante Legislation Nicks Consumer

The public has heard a great deal about the Robin
son anti-chain store bill, already passed by the Senate.
It's avowed purpose is to promote fair merchandising
practices, supposedly in the interest of independent mer-
chants.
Under it, large-scale buyers would be permitted no
price advantages not accruing to the smallest buyers. The
interest of the consumer seems to have been an entirely
secondary issue. Why this point goes unchallenged re-
mains a mystery.
The bill was passed with little debate. A carefully
appointed commission competent to study marketing
practices might easily have taken two years to nvesti-
gate a question so vital to consumers, before any bill
was even framed.
Authorities on this tremendously important subject
of legislation affecting the price Of necessities, forecast
that the results of such a bill, if it becomes a law, will
increase cost of food alone S750,0OO,0 900 a year; eliminate
stabilized production whereby manufacturers sell goods
to large buyers during of-peak seasons at favorable
prices, thereby keeping plants running steadily and low
ering cost of goods to ultimate consumer; freeze" the
price level and subsidize the middleman at the expense
of the consumer.
Congress should give the most thorough %considera-
ton to, instead of hasty passage of any legislation that
penny by penny drives up the costs of necessities and
commodities, thereby increasing the cost of living with
resulting loss of savings in every home.

New York is all set now TO hold the
largest Worlds Fair ever staged, in
1899. 1t will be the first truly internal
tional exposition 10 be held i'll America
since the Panama-Pacihc Exposition in
San Francisco in 1915.
The first Worlds Fair was the Crys-
tai Palace Exposition in London in
1851. Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's
husband, inspired it. He thought that
British industrialists and businessmen
were behind those of the Continent in
many ways. Bringing industrial and
commercial exhibits to London might
stimulate British industry, he thought.
The results proved that he was
right. Britain's great industrial and ar
tistic development really began with
that World Fair of 1851.
The real purpose Of a genuine
Worlds Fair is to stimulate the inter-
change among nations not only of
goods but of ideas.

Whatever final form the new tax bill
may take, the necessity for raising adj
ditlonal revenues was emphasized by
Secretary Morgenthau, when he in
formed the Senate Finance Committee
that the Federal Government deficit
for this fiscal year will run to $780,
10000. Mr.. Morgenthau arrived at that
figure by including the entire bonus
payments, of some 81, 900, 100000 in this
years expenditures, although much of
that money will not be paid out until
the next fiscal year, which begins July
l. Nevertheless, he made it very clear
that the Treasury is deeper in the red
than ever before and that something
has to be done about it.
Whether the plan which the Presi-
dent proposed and which has been
shaped into a revenue bill will produce
the necessary additional income is n
Of those debatable questions t. which
nobody can give a positive answer UNI
til after a year o. two of experience.
Probably more serious attention would
have been given TO such proposals as
that of Sen. La Toilette, for broaden
ing the income tax to include small in
comes and increase the levies on large
incomes, if this were not AN election
year.
In an election year it is regarded as
bad politics for the party in power to
impose new taxes calculated to touch
the pocketbook of the ordinary voter.
Talk now is of adjournment during
the week of June Is, when the Repub-
lican National Convention will have
finished its labors, in all probability.
The belief hat Governor Landon's lead
for the Republican Presidential nomin-
alton is too strong to be overcome, has
taken pretty firm root among political
observers and commentators. Talk is
now turning toward the choice of the
Republican Vice-Presidential candid
ate.
Prominently mentioned as good
vote-getting timber are Senators Stei-
wer, Of Oregon, who will be the Con-
vention's temporary chairman, and
Vandenberg, of Michigan, who is still
regarded as in the running as a pos
sible head of the ticket.
Geographically, Senator Steiwer is
considered more available. The Paci-
ic Coast is regarded as more dehatable
ground than is the State of Michigan.
Geographical and other considerations,
however, may dictate the choice of a
Vice-Presidential candidate from the
East. The difficulty is to find an ac-
ceptable man who is not too closely
tied in with the Republican Old Guard.
Some attention, more or less serious,
has been given lately to the sugges-
tor that young voters would be at
tracted to the Republican ticket by the
nomination for Vice-President by Col.
Charles A. L~indbergh. That seems
quite unlikely, but stranger things
have happened in politics.
The Republican leadership is real
izing more and more strongly that it is
from the younger element and the new
voters, the three million boys and girls
who have become of age since 1882,
that they must gain much of their sup
port if they are to win the election.
The Young Republican organization
of the Pacific Coast is not happy over
the present situation, and is especially
not friendly to Gov. Lardon. How far
they represent the younger element
generally is, however, somewhat
doubtful.

TEXAS ..... its Centennial
This year the big fair is the Texas
Centennial at Dallas. Something like
S25, 100000 has been spent to provide
an exposition which. within its scope,
promises to be both educational and
entertaining.
The show at Dallas will open on
June 6. The whole Southwest is n
thusiastic about it and the indications
are that every road leading TO Dallas
will be crowded with ears all summer,
and the railroads. bus lines and air
routes will have all the traffic they
ear attend TO.
From the advance announcements
that | have seen, | think the Dallas
Fair will be worth anybody's time.
The historic event which this Texas
Centennial commentaries has always
seemed to me one of the most stirring
episodes in our national history. / am
glad to learn that one of the important
buildings at the Dallas Fair will be the
Hall Of Heroes. II seems to me that the
times call for recognition of the fact
that America was founded and de-
veloped by men who were not afraid
to fight.

PROFITS

The motive behind many expositions
which call themselves Worlds Fairs is
that of putting on a big show to draw
large numbers of visitors to a town or
region, so that local business interests
can make a profit by selling them food
and lodging, gasoline and souvenirs.
Staging a fair is a good way to bring
money into a town.

position of 1884 was a purely COM
mercial enterprise, which paid back
all the money that it cost and resulted
in a great deal of business for the
