BY THE AlAN IN THE rowER
Good Evening.

Once again the days grow short,
 Shadows gather carly Autumn sunsets have deeper glow
 Clouds are maSSed all white and pearly All too soon the afternoon fades,
 There's tang in the Autumn air, Lights are on before evening falls
 With twilight a confusing glare. The extra hour of D. s. T.,
 Gave us daylight way into night, We fingered long at the picnic fire,
 The sun fingered to our delight. But now day is done on schedule time,
 Gone is that extra hour of light, It's up betimeS with the morning sun,
 E. S. T. is here all right.

about increase of the federal power Signs of the Times

While the governor and his back CTS are thus twittering about one thing and another, Franklin D. Roosevelt and his administration have done things. And every non- political sign, the signs of actual national progress, shows they were the right thing to meet the chang ing economic order. The increase in the public debt has been more than justified by the increase in the na- tional income. Few corporations can show such 8 record of sagacity in return on their borrowings. Few are in as healthy a condition as the Treasury of the United States, whose policies they venture to criticize.
 As this Is written the Pe.1nsyl- yania; Railroad reports that for July its net railway operating income has increased 56.6 per cent over the same month of 1a35. This was one of the roads that protested most loudly against the New Deals in- sistepce that the railroads cut pas senger fares to two. cents mile. The protest, and the result, are typ- icAl of that state of mind that calls the New Deal un-American.
 It Is not the American way, nor the American mind, nor the mind of the tone pioneer of either yes- terday's or today's frontier. It Is the mind of the Tory.
 The American way, the way of the frontier, new or old, is to go forth, and meet difficulties gallant ly,s to meet them and to beat them whether they be scalping Indians of the Kansas prairies or the equally savage gentlemen of fren- zied finance and special privilege who are likewise uarnindful, when they shear their victims, whether the scalp comes away with the hair. Rooseyelt-FTrai Blazer
 Franklin. Roosevelt even enlisted his own modern type of Indian scout. When he sought to save Wall Street from the Scalpers he sent ahead of him that leader of many financial war party of the old days, Joseph P. Kennedy. And though he was denounced for 1t at the time, the very men who are now denpuncing him for something else are aadmitting that the system for controlling the stock markets o1 the country set up under Joseph P. Kennedy has restored the confid- ence of the public in this system SC vital to our economic life
 When he sought to save the farmer from the asavages among his ranks he enlisted that trusted chief of farm movements, Henry Wallace. And however politicians may, denounce such words as "regi- mentaticn.s control" reduced pro duction." the indisputable fact is that in 1882 the total net profit available for living expenses to the families of six and q half million farmers was $l. .46O, 900 ,OOO. In 193s it was $4,1i0.00o, 900 almost quad rupledl
 Similar examples might be chosen all the way through the business scale from farm to stock market The indiSputable fact remains that at Q time when every savage tribs of the new frontier seemed bent on this nations destruction. Franklin Roosevelt strode out through new paths. He did things. And they worked.

If his explanations had any
truth in them it would still be an
illegal unwarranted payment be-
cause it was for a purchase in
Montgomery's lifetime without the
seller and owner of the debt at
the time Montgomery died having
filed any claim. There is an item
among these purchasers, E. R.
Benedict, $10,015.81, said by Gil
bert to be a mistake of a steno-
grapher (they who in modern
days take away the sins of the
worldly and that it should be $18-
ALTA; that the name Benedict
should be C. L. Livestock Co.;
that the one cow accounted for as
bought from C. L. Livestock Co.
for $76.16 should be fair sized
herd of cattle (that we think stray
ed to the Gilbert Brothers ranches
in the Centennial Valley instead
of to the Montgomery Ranches in
the Big Hole Basin, rs miles, pro-
badly, in the wrong direction.)
The total of these amounts paid
out of estates funds for cattle not
listed in the inventory and for
which no claims were ever filed
by the actual owners of the claims
and excluding Exhibit 10, which
seems on reading it to be a check
for $18, Alta (but which Gilbert
prattles is really and in fact a
check for $10,015.81) is the sum
of $30,971.39. 338 r. 1-8.
Whether the explanation of Gil
bert, claiming that the $18,477.74
withdrawal is not theft is believ-
able or not, it is certain from his
own testimony that this amount
was paid out by him as executor,
without any claim having been
filed by the owner of it or by any
one else.
It is also certain that without
any claim being filed he paid the
Basin Mercantile Company for
goods purchased by Montgomery
in his lifetime, the sum of $6958.36
287 r. Ia. Testimony of Don An
son of the Basin Mercantile Com
pany, $50 II to 81.
On page 1877 !. of the Record,

Montgomery are listed by William

CRATE S5O46.25.
Beyond dispute, Gilbert's ac-
counts show that he disbursed Of
the Montgomery Estate illegally,
on accounts for which no claims
were filed and which were entirely
incurred during Montgomery's
lifetime. the sum of SCI .4533.74.
One claim was filed too late,
that is the claim of Fanny Mont
gomery 263 r. l to 264 R. 10
which was sworn to in Cook Coun-
~, I'll. on September oath, 1920,
and it is approved September q,
1890. for $8390.63. The 10 months

pired on the 25th day of Septem-
Der. 1920. 265 R. 10. When it was
offered in evidence it was objected

expressed an idea that it might
have come by airplane but such
an idea as to 1920 is before any
airnlail and a patent anachronism.
The White Investment Company
claim for $14,775.85 is clearly IL
legal. The money was advanced to
take up unpaid checks of Mont
gomery for the cattle bought near
his death. These checks were IS
sued in his lifetime AMI the holders
of the checks should have filed
claims. This amount is accounted
for previously in our totals of dis
bursements for cattle bought by
Montgomery in his lifetime. 1t
would be a duplication for the
court to again consider it. But the
same White who signed the inven-
tory from which these cattle were
excluded, swore to the claim for
their purchase price and owned
the White Investment Co.
The moneys of the estate were
turned Unfortunately to Mrs.
Cecilia Montgomery for a long
time. While Gilbert testifies that
he never filed any vouchers at all
in the probate court, he claims
now that the checks of Mrs. Geci~
liza Montgomery are his vouchers.

MONTGOMERY CASE
EDITORS NOte)

The Holiday Association of
Beaverhead County, Montana,
taking notice of the history of
this case, and wishing to bring
the universal attention of the
farmers and workers of Mon
tana to the matter, so that they
may have evidence of how the
courts serve the ruling class and
the bankers and money lOaners,
and mortgage sharks, rather
than the farmers and workers,
even in the face of the actual
written law, not only in the adj
ministratiOns of estates, the
property of the dead, but also
in foreclosure and collection by
the ruling class, the owning
class, against the farmers and
workers, made arrangements
several weeks ago with the
PRODUCERS NEWS, the Off

one of the heirs of VIM. Mont
gomery, 9 years old at tho time
of his fathers death, in an
action in equity, fled on the

Circuit Court of Appeals, which
court held that the federal
courts were without Jurisdiction
in the matter and remSnded It
back to the District Court of
Beaverhead County, where it is
new pending for trial.
The brief, because of its
length, is being published serial
ly. To understand the case, the
