DAVID (USHMAN
(0YLE LECTURE

David CushnIan Coyle, nationally
famous consulting engineer, econo-
mist, author, brain truster, and adj
wiser to President Roosevelt, was
one of the featured speakers at the
tax conference held last week at
Montana State University. Mr.. Coyle,
speaking on the general subject Of
why Pay Taxes" outlined the
fundamental detectives of the New
Deal by showing that an annual
budget Of from ten to fifteen billion
dollars was necessary to restore
prosperity to this country.
He pointed out that at the present
time there is occurring the deficit of
the agricultural areas whereby
money pours into the eastern indus
trial states from the West and South.
In order to balance this influx, in
come taxes must be increased so that
they will tax this money away from
the East and distribute it to the West
and South. Mr.. Coyle also showed
how we were guilty of "oversaving."
In the country today, we are saving
almost twice as much money as we
can use in industry, and by so doing
our investors lose the part which
can't be used by industry. Thus
says Coyle, Saving for a rainy day
has just made it rain"
To many his talk was a forceful
presentation of the New Deal, and
as such it restored the confidence of
many that the New Deal in attempt
ing to equalize wealth and the bur-
den of taxation to pay for social re-
form, was on the right track. His
later analysis Of the need for con-
servation of human as we'll as nat
ural resources drew applause from
the large crowd that heard him al
convocation. He pointed out that il
is the duty of the government tc
provide security, education, jobs, and
independence to Americans.
Another noted campus visitor al
Montana State University last week
was Harrison Brown, internationally
famous journalist and speaker, who
addressed students and townspeoplt
on the subject of international re-
lations at a series of conferences anC
talks.
Mr.. Brown stated that the question
of Fascism versus Democracy wa
becoming more and more acute every
day. He showed how the repeated
peace offerings on the part of thu
d~emocracies was producing the feel
ing among the Fascist nations tina
they can get away with anythin!
they try. He said that continued
concessions by Britain to Germany i
having the effect of increasing Ger
many's demands.
He predicted the ultimate triumph
of China over Japan because in hi
mind Japan could never hope t.
overcome the tremendous strength
of China which the war was jus
bringing to a head.
Harrison Brown presents the view
point of a liberal journalist and whel
he discusses foreign affairs or do
nestle difficulties from this angle
he presents a viewpoint that is no
often heard in Montana.

house was in the midst of a row
of closely built, high wooden hous-
es on the windward side of the
town that with a fire fully under
way, impelled by a high wind,
would have been extremely diff
cult to control, they were not
needed. The blaze started in the
woodwork about the fireplace
heater in the parlor. 1t was lucky
that it was revealed to Mrs. Allen
soon after it ignited by smoke in
the little cupboard at the side of
the chimney. Mr.. Allen with the
aid of others gathered up the hot
stove, set it out in the street, tore
away the wooden surroundings
and thus speedily put a stop to
cause of danger. The difficulty
came from the fact that the ends
of the laths under the plastering
was in too close proximity to the
stove. Mr.. Allen through this r1ed-
ium wishes to express his thanks
to the members of the Citizens
Hose Company for their prompt
response.

the idea from the Orientals and

Romans and the Greeks knew musk
melons, but the latter, in writing Of

Melons were brought to France

thereafter, although they may
have been grown in that country

LETTER FROM CHEswoLD

The railroad has ordered that
their office at Moorton be changed
in name and is to be called Ches-
wold to take effect the 18th: after
this date tickets and all freight
packages will be marked with the
new name. This is the starting
point in this direction that has
been under contemplation for a
year or more, owing to the trouble
and inconvenience caused by
freight and mail matter going to
Worton, Kent county, Md, and
Morton, Delaware county, Penn.
The postoffice department will
now likely name their office at this
place to conform to the railroad
change, then the town will probab-
ly be changed by Legislative en-
actment to complete the change in
name. 1t is what we may call a
big thing to give a town a new
name and establish it. 1t takes
years to accomplish it generally.
There is no objection to the name
of Moorton, its a good name, but
there has been so much confusion
of mail and freights owing to the
three names having so near the
same ring, the change becomes
necessary.

Child Festival Circus

Because of inclement weather,
the Fourth Annual Children's S

Harold Snyder, technician for the

However, the circus for the col
ored schools, which was to be held
in the Walker Memorial Stadium

place in the school auditorium.
