World of Finance By Lewis Haney

But time passed and steel production in Chi
cago and Birmingham ceased to be an infant
industry" Furthermore, the steelconsumlng
industries expanded and some insisted on lower
prices for their raw material so they could COM
pete with eastern steeLconsuming manufacturers.
Then the Federal Trade Commission, Under
some Republican administration, attacked this
Pittsburghplus system, and it finally was aban-
doned in large part
But the basng-point system remained. Ac-
cording to this system, different prices are quoted
at certain points, but the price is uniform witain
an area around each point regardless Of freight
Thus, on Chicago as a baSing point, prices were
the same at all points over large area around
Chicago, even though freight was paid on the
steel shipped to those points from Chicago.
System NouU Under Attack
Nov, this basing-point system is under at
AN tack, not only in the steel industry, but
also in the cement industry. Therefore, Tie
large steel producers have acted at this time
under some pressure.
It should not be assumed, however, that this
is the only reason, for the fundamental expla-
nation Of the new move lies in the fact that
competition requires it. The big steelmakerS
have ample production IN the chief consuming
areas. What they have done is to equalize
prices among the main basing-point areas For
example, they have eliminated the old price
differentials among the Pittsburgh, Chicago and
Birmingham areas.
This means steel producers at these points
are now free to sell at uniform competitive prices
anywhere in the three areas or territories. They
merely will have to pay the freight, which tends
to restrict their business to areas which are
limited only by freight charges.

Unseen Death Ray
7 HAVE also mentioned the unseen death.ray
that have been told every country in the
world is working on, which is almost perfected.
They say the spies in this country get very
little to send home, but simply don't believe
this. The American is naturally an unsuspicious,
trusting individual and II you told ten out of
twelve men that a spy was taking drawings to
his home Of his battleships or his airplanes he
would laugh at 1t.
This is an important investigation they have
started and hope every single spy they catch,
they will do more than deport home. don't
know enough about the law to know whether
this is all they can do or not, but if you were
spy and had picked up everything you could in
this country and they sent you home with your
knowledge personally don't see where it would
be any punishment.
Never, never will forget the few terrified days
I spent in Russia. There you get first-hand
knowledge of what real spying Is Brother against
brother, sister against sister and no one knowing
even in one family who belongs to the oGPU.
Horror of Hitler's Reign
7 HAVE Just finished tragic book called THE
i Mortal Storm" by Phyllis Bottoms. It shows
so well the very beginning Of Hitler's reign and
the tragedy and horror that have followed 1t UP
to this very day.
II we have come to the place where gradually
the world will be ruled by fear and persecution
we are reverting to the old Roman days. 1t Is
true Rome went to great heights, but also the
old saying applies so we'll there, "the higher you
go, the farther you fall"
There should be no fooling with the spies.
While man does reach great heroism when he
goes out during a war and risks his life to get
the secrets for his OWN COUNTRY, it is a
neaky, contemplate thing for men to give their
lives up to this IN country where there is peace
and where we are striving SO desperately to keep
the whole world from being blown to kingdom

the Bethlehem Steel Corporation followed in re-

than did the U. S. Steel Corporation. This hap

kept Bethlehem out of some towns
A great change in the socalled baSing-point
system is going on, which means the price Struc-
ture and competition in the iron and steel in
dustry are on the way to being fundamentally
improved.
For many years steel prices were quoted on
Pittsburgh-plus basis. The steel buyer in Chi
cago, for instance paid Chicago steel producers
the Pittsburgh price, plus the freight charges
from Pittsburgh to Chicago.
Protected Chicago Producers
THIS system grew up when steel production in
= the Middle West was inadequate and much
had to be shipped from the Pittsburgh area. It
insured Western market for the large Pitts
burgh output. 1t protected" the Chicago steel
producers by insuring them a relatively high
price.

to explain, because it may be

F. WALKERS VISIT
CALLS TO MIND A
FAMOUS LAW FIRM

The visit of Frank Walker to Butte
should be an occasion to remind the
people of the valuable assistance
which has been given by him to
President Roosevelt.
Early in 1888, Mr.. Roosevelt called
upon Frank Walker to assist in the
National Industrial Recovery Act
and later appointed him as director
of the National Emergency Council.
Frank Walker rendered so efficient
service in these capacities that he
has been retained in the Presidents
official family since that time.
The elevation of Frank to national
distinction brings to mind the ia
nous firm of Walker and Walker
at Butte, composed of the two
brothers, Frank and Tom. Tom
Walker, the elder brother, is now
seeking the position of chief justice
of Montana's supreme court. He
served in the Senate of Montana
and also as county attorney of Silver
Bow county. Tom Walker numbers
among his numerous clients many
poor people. 1t is his fidelity, gen
eorsity and consideration to this
modest part of his business which
has so endeared him to his many
friends.

lard SET
FOR FRIDAY AT THE
Miners union Hall

Another top notch wrestling card
has been arranged for this Friday,
Oct. 21st, at the Miners Union hall
at $3.50.
The main event features two well
known boys here and two of the
best liked in the game. Wildcat
Pete, the Flying Finn, takes on the
ever tough going Irish Earl Malone
of Salt Lake. These boys r of the
constant boring-in type and never
let up, and their bouts usually prove
a thriller.
Malone established himself at the
last bouts when he met the tough
Sammy Evans and gave Evans one
of the toughest battles Of his life.
Malone, although much smaller than
Evans, proved that he is equally as
dirty as any of them when it be-
comes necessary.
New Star
Bob Cummings, the Wisconsin
flash, will be remembered here as
he proved one of the most popular
boys here, about three years ago.
Bob is a great wrestler, although he
adheres to strictly orthodox methods,
his oppents know they have been in
a battle when Bob gets through with
them. Cummings is a former Mon
tana middleweight champion and
three years ago at Great Falls he
wrestled for the worlds middle
weight championship, being defeat
ed by the titleholder at that time,
Jack Reynolds. Cummings is meet
ing Larry Jacobsen, a highly touted
Canadian amateur who is turning
professional.
Another newcomer, Joe Balent of
St. Louis, makes his first appearance
here against the ever popular King
Kong Clayton.
Both boys are built alike and
while they are main event caliber,
on account of such a strong card this
week, they are on the bottom spot.

IS THAT THE LAW!

For those who still look upon the
Supreme Court of Montana as some
thing remote and of little conse-
quence in our every day affairs the
following illustration will show such
citizens how vitality and fundament-
ally the court affects our people and
how pernicious its influence may
become when its members are lack
ing in the spirit of intellectual hon
esty and integrity; qualities which
should be possessed above all others
by those honored with a seat on the
judicial bench, the highest honor a
lawyer may receive in his profession.
This illustration has to do with
their mode Of interpreting the Con-
stitution of Montana at the close Of
Montana's 25th legislative session on
March 9Th, 1897.
Early in that famous 1887 legisla-
tive session it was agreed among the
liberal members of the House that
when the constitutional limit of 60
days was reached in the session a
motion for adjournment would be
entertained and there would be no
setting back of the clock to continue
the legislative functions past the 60
day limit.
There was a very good reason for
this agreement.
The device of setting back the
clock worked to the advantage of
various groups and interests who
were thus able to get their special
legislation through in the last days
of the extended session being aided
by the rush to clear up all pending
bills and the fact that many of the
Legislators would have departed for
home. It should be known that
serving in the legislature is a drain
on the pocketbook of the poor man
for he has his added living expenses
in Helena along with his continuing
family expenses at home. AS a re-
suit he is anxious to return home
to his farm or his job if he is fortu-
nate enough to have either while
the corporation lawyers and retain
ers fare better in Helena than at
home, and is in no rush to leave.
It was then, agreed that there
would be no setting back of the legis-
lative clock in the 25th session.
However, a week before adjourn
ment date, Speaker H. d. Rolph Of
Liberty county informed progress
sive leaders that he could not go
through with his support Of the

Townsend Security
Means Political
Independence

Butte Townsend Club No. l met
Friday evening at the Y. M. c. A.
During a brief routine session all
standing committees reported plans
for fall and winter activities pro-
crossing f%avorably.
Special committee appointed to
arrange a mass meeting of Town
sendites and friends, reported that
the old high school auditorium had
been secured for Sunday afternoon,
October 30, and that Jerry O'Con-
nell would be principal speaker.
National Townsend representative,
Ed j. Nichols, is also expected to
speak on that occasion. Under
open forum much satisfaction was
expressed at the turn political de
velopments had taken during the
week. The best possible arguments
for the need of the Townsend ma
tional recovery plan have been adj
vanced by the opponents of the plan
and its endorsed candidate, Jerry
O'Connell.
That the Townsend movement is
not a dead one" is proven by the
fact that the political bosses are
bending their energies to secure the
votes of Townsendites, even to
promising jobs to those who can be
induced to work for their candidates.
An economically secure electorate is
a politically independent electorate,
say the Townsendites.
One of our wiley old Townsend
workers has demonstrated, whether
by accident or design, that our
opponents are alive to this fact, and
are attempting to use their economic
inducements to get votes.
1t is a question in the minds of
many T~ownsendites on which side
the joke is. "Once a ~Townsendite,
always a Townsendite."
Butte Townsend Club No. l meets
every Friday evening at the Y. M.
c. A. Visitors are always welcome.
