The Hearst Incubus

Americas would-be maker of presidents is undaunt-
ed by previous electoral rebuffs and is busy again in the
current presidential campaign. 1t appears, however, that
his red batting tactics are doing more harm than good
to the republican cause and it appears, also, from the
embarrassed silence of the presidential candidate that he
realizes it only too we'll.
w speak, of course, of Mr.. Randolph Hearst, chain
newspaper publisher who has realized most of his am
billions in life except the one to be the most potent force
in the election of a president. He has tried before and is
trying again now, but it seems that ALI NJ. Landon, re-
publican nominee, and Col. Frank Knox, his run
ming mate, would both be just as well satisfied if the
Hearst incubus were lifted from their already heavily
loaded backs.
Even before Landon was nominated by the repub-
licans he was faced with the problem of Mr.. Hearst be-
cause the publisher stopped for a visit with him and be-
came one of his supporters. Then, Landon had nothing to
say, and now he still has nothing to say about the pub
Usher. Mr.. Knox was recently asked for a statement
about Mr.. Hearsts latest TRADE and could force himself
only to say he supported the publishers charges. Beyond
that, he could only say that Mr.. Hearsts statement could
speak for itself.
The widely pubicized Hearst charge that Roosevelt
accepts support Of communists in this country can act
only as a boomerang. For thinking people it will be a
sharp reminder that Hearst is a supporter of Landon and
that if Landon wins the publisher can be expected to as
sumo a dictatorial position and demand to be heard in
the councils of government. People of sober Judgment
will realize that even though the communists do swing
a few votes to Roosevelt as against Landon, those COM
munists are a small minority and can expect no voice in
the actual government of the nation.
So we have on the one hand Roosevelts ALLEGED
communistic support which can be a. best only a weak
and Intellectual smattering Of votes, and on the other
Landon's backing by Hearst, a powerful though obnoxi-
Gus figure whom the voters have r~epudiated in previous
elections as the IMAM they do not want behind the presi-
dental chair.
And MIR. Landon says nothing. He cant repudiate
Hearsts support and he dare not openly embrace it.

Preserving Real Democracy

OF vital interest to residents Of Sheridan county is
the proposed amendment to the constitution that will be
voted on next month which viii, if approved, give to our
own people the right TO determine the future geograph-
ical boundaries Of our county.
Heretofor the state legislature has had the sole pow
er to abandon, consolidate or create new counties. Peo-
pie of the counties affected had nothing to say about the
matter. except as they were able to influence the vote in
the state governing bodies at Helena. The proposed
change is merely a move bringing TO the people of each
county who pay the expense of operating their county
government the right 10 say whether or not any change
in its boundaries should be made. 1t is in reality extend
ing to the smaller subdivisions Of our government struc-
ture the right Of horne rue and establishing a more COM
plete system Of democracy.
The Montana Taxpayer. a publication obviously
controlled oy ucnieG interests ana large taxpayers, in
our opinion advances poor argument for the defeat of the
proposed amendment rs editor complains that consol-
daion should be left IN the hands Of the state legisla-
ture IN order 10 correct more easily inequalities in leg
isative representation" By his own admission he writes
that, this can De corrected by re-apportionment of the
House of Representatives in conformity with the constit-
ution." But" he states, the tremendous inequalities in
the Senatorial representation cannot be altered without
county consolidation"
What an argumen, to present to intelligent readers,
The very fundamental principle Of our national form Of
government, as originally written into the FEDERAL cor
stitution, basing representation in the House OF Repre-.
sentatives on population. but equal and Interchangeable
representation in the Senate, was to forever guarantee to
smaller and less populated states the right of REAL
A in representation in Congress. State govern
ments were formed following the same principle OF
equality to smaller and less populated counties. This is
what the editor of the Taxpayer chooses to call GREAT
INEQUALITIES"
If no better argument can be advanced Inanst ap-
proval Of the proposed amendment than "indt Ny" in
giving equal representation in the state SEM to small
counties with those of larger ones, there sbfuld be small
chance indeed of ever changing the boundary lines of
Sheridan county.
And until better and more convincing reasoning is
provided, Sheridan county voters will undoubtedly give
strong support to the proposed amendment

The Surplus and the A

Under the A 300 growers farming on d large
scale received over $4,000 each for reducing acreage.
Critics of the plan suggest that such payments be limited
to small farms, and large operators be not allowed to
participate. The obstacle is that large operators have
more to do with creating the SURPRISES than the small
operatoss and If they are cut out of the plan of reduc-
tons, it will be difficult to reduce. 1t is also true that
large wheat growers produce wheat for a great deal less
per bushel than small farm owners, and, if they do not
share in the reduction program will, because of large
acreage and large production benefit through the in
creased prices caused by the acreage reduction on the
small farms 1t is not as simple as it seems 1t may be
better to have them in the plan, even though their bene-
fits are high, than to have them produce as usual and
reap the benefits O.. increased prices and a full crop-The

The most important news which has
occurred in Washington for many
mcnthS-poSsibly the most important
news since the beginning of the dc
pression-was the unexpected an
nouncement that an agreement had
been reached by the United States,
England and France. for the stabiliza-
ton of the currencieS of the worlds
three greatest democracieS. on a basis
Of a parity of values.
This was the elimination of efforts
which were begun in 1882 and which
took form in the Summer of 1883 in
the World Economic Conference held
in London. That conference failed to
accomplish anything when the United
States withdrew its delegates because
Of Frances stubborn insistence hat it
would not cooperate in any movement
which would reduce the gold value of
tie franc.
Since then the political situation in
France has changed and that nations
steady loss of world trade, due to the
French Governments maintenance of
he franc at a higher proportion value
than the pound sterling and the dol
lar, has finally impressed upon the
French people the Importance of
e%qualizing international exchange. So
when France finally made the pro-
posal to devalue the franc by about 81
percent. provided England and Amer
lea would cooperate in assisting to
maintain its gold value on the new
basis, both of the other nations were
vi ling to agree.
Forecasts I,ade Revival
AS had been expected, Holland, Bel
GUM and Switzerland followed the ex-
ample of France, so that now, except
for Germany, Italy and Poland, all of
the important European currencies
have been placed on an equal basis
with the %currencies of Great Britain
and America.
Italy is expected to see the light be-
fore long. Germany's financial position
is such that it may be difficult for the
Hitler Government to iall into line.
But the results just arrived at, which
followed weeks Of international dis
cussions over the transatlantic tele-
phone and through diplomatic chan
nels, are regarded here as promising
to bring about a restoration Of inter
national trade on a scale which viii be
of immeasurable benefit to all of the
nations concerned. Particularly it is
expected to stimulate our own export
market.
Russia's Sale of Sterling
The Russian Government Is not a

party to the agreement and its position
IS as yet uncertain. Immediately alter
the announcement had been made that
France was about TO dcvalue the franc
and that an understanding had been
arrived at, the Russian Government
offered a million pounds sterling OF
orltlSn exchange for sale in New York
a. any price ii would bring This was
immediately reported to the Treasury
BY the Chase National Bank, and the
Ileasury notified the bank hat il
would take up the Offering at the cur
rent market value OF Si97 to the
pound, out of the exchange stabiiza-
ton fund of $1,000, 900. 1000.
This move by the Russian govern
ment was interpreted At first as an eff
fort TO depress the pound and impair
the workings of IN, new agreement
between France, England and America
before it had got fairly started. This
has been since denIed from Moscow,
which claims that it was merely a ne
cessary move to realize funds with
which to meet obligations maturing in
London.
The whole situation is pointed to as
additional evidence OF the cloSeness
with which the affairs of every nation
are tied to those of every other nation,
and the consequent Importance of
maintaining friendly relations and
putting no unnecessary obstacles in
the way of the exchange of commod-
tiles with each other. if any nation, no
matter how peaceful its desire, is to
avoid being entangled il a war.
Forestalls Early War
There is little doubt felt here that
this new international money agree
ment has STAYED off the imminence of
war in Europe for perhaps two years.
It has served notice upon Germany
and Italy that the three great demo-
cratic nations Of the world are at last
in accord on a highly vital subject
and that they are in a position to pool
their resources, if necessary, to exert
economic pressure upon any nation
which thinks it would like to do a
little fighting.
Benefits For All
But France will not be the only
beneficiary, by any means. American
business houses importing from France
can now buy more francs with an
American dollar and consequently will
be able to supply such commodities as
only France can sell us at a lower
in dollars than heretofore. Eng
and gains the same advantage, with
the pound sterling stabilized at be-
$500 and $500 And in the COM
p~etitive markets of the rest of the
world, where France, the United
States and Great Britain are constant
ly striving for trade advantages, the
competition becomes much mere near
~ equal.

ion of his message Is perhaps worth
less. or course his supporters praised
1t highly, and his opponents were
equally emphatic in d%erogation.
Democrats and Republicans alike
commended the Presidents opening
paragraphs In which he boldly con-
demned the aggression of Italy and
Japan, though without naming those
nations; and there was little dissent
from his assertion that the United
States must maintain its neutrality
while seeking to discourage the use BY
belligerenr nations OF any and all
American products calculated to facil-
itate the prosecution Of a wal In guam
titles over and above our normal ex-
ports to them In time Of peace"
The remainder Of the message, de-
voted to domestic affairs, was devoted
chiefly to a belligerertly worded de-
Tense of the New Deal measures Of the
administration, an attack on those who
oppose them and a spirited passage
in which Mr.. Roosevelt defed and
dared his critics to move for the re-
peal Of those measures instead of
hiding their dissent In a cowardly
cloak Of generality" In only two
paragraphs did the President dwell on
"the state OF the nation" In these
he said that after nearly three years
of the New Deal national income is
increasing, agriculture and Industry
are returning to full activity" and
I'VE a y. zach a balance of the national
budget"
One passage In the message was In
terpreted by some as a threat to close
the lower courts to suits attacking the
constitutionality Of federal laws. The
President tolc congress that It's enact
ments require protection until final
adjudication by the highest tribunal"
and added that congress has the right
and can find the meal to protect Its
own prerogatives."
