WASHINGTON. - Press service
.res and cables and radio from

=, weeks with hundreds OF thous-
.,ds Of words about the plight OF
!. Jews in Germany; about the
,bases visited upon the Jewish race
!, the european mailman, Hitler,
Il his camp followers; about the
humanitarian pleas of our own
PRESIDENT, Mr.. Roosevelt, for ap-
asement of the conditions. There
-. been what I believe to be one
!, the greatest waves of emotion,
~.v.s Of resentful national senti-
r mar that this country ever has

- as that through which we have
s,en passing, and in my opinion our
ration should have resented such

,,,l To erieve to a greater or less ex-
tent about the Understandable harsh
ness. the unforgivable meanness OF
pitler. it occurs to me that we
,hould begin to temper these waves
~ emotion somewhat. There are
nher factors to be considered, fact
ms and consequences of the thing
that IS now called "the Jewish prob
Iem." that require calm reasoning. In
ether words, let us say that Amer
II is and must remain for Ameri-
cans. and charity, while 1t is sweet,
cannot be exploited, or carried to ex-
temes simply because we feel q
sadness for a group upon whom an
Injustice has been sent. Like mill
lions Of other Americans, I am
hopeful that some way will be found
to aid the Jews who are being
driven out Of Germany, but I am
unwilling that we, as a nation shall
create additional and unwarranted
difficulties for ourselves by extend
Ing q helping hand. Therefore the
United States must not be the goat
It IS one thing to render aid. It is
quite another thing to inject into
our own bloodstream of national
Life additional elements without
moving what those elements are
After all, the damage is something
that we did not cause; the injured
are people who have no knowledge
Of our way Of doing things and may
never cooperate with us, and We
must prevent being dragged into the
other fellows fist fight.

Jewish Problem for United
States Might b Result

The whole situation is one which
may contain "a Jewish problem"
for the United States. It is one out
of which political issue may grow.
It is to be remembered that religion
became an issue in a presidential
election not so many years ago. That
shows that such things can sprout
even in the United States. If it
happened in the cast Of the Catho-
lie religion, it can happen in the
case of a racial question, especially
with regard to the Jewish race.
We ought not kid ourselves. There
are many persons swearing alleg-
lance to the United States who do
not like Jews. Those persons may
be otherwise good citizens, but they
diStrust Jew because he is a Jew,
making no distinction between in
dividuals. It is stating nothing new
to say that there has been almost a
steady undercurrent of criticism of
Mr.. Roosevelt from certain quarters
because Jews have been given prom
inent places in the New Deal.
think it is not stretching the imag-
nation at all, therefore, to point to
the Jewish problem as one that may
become involved in politics at some
future time, although I hope it new
er does. ~
Mr.. Roosevelt has proposed re-
moval of some of the immigration
restrictions as a means of bringing
into this country more German Jews
than our immigration laws now per-
NIT. In so doing, he verged on poll
tics himself. Any one familiar with
the debates on immigration policies
in the early 1920's must recall the
severity of that battle. The issue
was whether we, as a nation, were
going to be haven for all Corners
and just hope that they would do
things the American way, or wheth-
er we should restrict the number
coming here to live to a number
which could be absorbed into our
national life. Labor unions and most
employers favored the restrictions
and when we think of the number
Of unemployed in the last five OF
six years people fed and clothed by
the federal government 1t appears
that we allowed too many to come
in. It seems we could have excluded
all Of them to advantage.

MALTA FILES FOR
SILVER BOW SHERIFF

John Malta, who at present is
county assessor, filed for the office
of sheriff Monday, May 23rd. Mr.
Malta is married and is the father
of five children. His home is at
2131 Princeton Avenue. Before be-
ing elected to the position of assessor
he was timekeeper at of the
mines.
1t must be admitted that Malta has
made quite a wonderful record as
county assessor. II was largely
through his efforts that taxes were
placed against such corporations as
the international business machines,
&c. l.. T. Credit Corporation, Com
mercial Credit Corporation, and the
Pittsburg Appliance Corporation.
Heretofore these corporations
escaped just taxation throughout the
whole state of Montana. During the
last several meetings of the State
Board of Equalization there were 81
complaints against the violations
placed by Mr.. Malta but the board
sustained his assessments in 10 of
the 81 cases. The placing of these
violations has been one of the main
factors in the city and county levies
having been reduced. The decreases
here mentioned were from 107.6 5
mills in 1885 to 2O2.53 in 1887.
Mr. Malta has stated that if elected
sheriff, he will use the same effort
and efficiency in fulfilling the duties
of sheriff that he has in the asses
sor's office, and also pledges that he
will operate the office in a courteous
and gentlemanly manner.

TOWNSEND CLUB
DISCUSSES TAXES

Butte Townsend Club No. l held
one of the most interesting meetings
of the season last Monday evening
at the Y. M. c. A. After a brief
routine session the Open Forum was
called. The topic was Taxes and
talks on several phases of taxation
were made by P. J. Cavanaugh, j..
H.. Coleman, Albert st. George, w..
Casey, J. st. Clair, Mrs. H. N. Ken
nedy, Dave Goggin, and others. A
composite summary OF the talks fol-
lows:
Some people look upon taxes as
a destructive force. Dishonest and
u%nthinking people say that a tran
s%action tax will destroy America
wipe out u incomes and bankrupt
the nation. Taxes have built Amer
ical Taxes established our great
educational system, built our great
highways and bridges. Taxes gave
us our municipal water and SANTA
ton systems; our magnificent public
buildings from county courthouses
to the national capitol at Washing
ton. Taxes gave US police and fire
protection; maintains u army and
navy. Taxes to stimulate business
and create wealth are an investment.
Here is a concrete example of how
a very high tax can be made a slim
ulant to business: The gasoline tax
is used to build good roads; good
roads INCREASE the desire for u
%tomobiles; automobiles increase the
desire for more good roads; more
automobiles consume more gas;
more gas increases the amount Of
taxes for more good roads, which in
turn, and again, increases the desire
for more cars. Here is an illustra-
ton Of a complete business cycle de-
veloped on a transaction tax on gas
oline-Which has developed the
greatest highway system and the
greatest industry in the world, pay
ing high wages to workers and large
dividends to stockholders.
What the gasoline tax has done for
the automobile business, the Town
send Plan transaction tax will do
for all industries.
Ed. Greenaman of the Deer Lodge
club invited Butte Townsendites to
attend a social in Deer Lodge on
May q. The invitation was accept
ed, and Butte club voted to omit the

Mrs. Kennedy Elected Delegate

MISS0ULA REQUESTS
DELEGATION TO
LABOR CONVENTION
Other Council Notes.

The Missoula County Trades and
Labor Council requested the Silver
Bow Trades and Labor Council and
its affiliated organizations to be
present at the 4lst convention of the
Montana Federation of Labor which
will convene in Missoula June 18th.
Delegates were ordered to notify
their respective unions of the on
vention and to send delegates if
possible.
The Miners Union is planning a
huge celebration on its historic holi-
day, June 18th. The Miners notified
the Central Trades and Labor Coun-
ell of a general preliminary meeting
to be held at the Miners Union hall
Sunday, May 29th, at 100 p. m. A
delegate from the Trades and Labor
Council will be present.
All other unions + requested to
be represented at this meeting Sun
day. Plans will be formulated to
arrange line of march, order Of
march, and other preliminaries.
A complaint came from the Car
penters Union of Tacoma stating that
an unfair carload of lumber from
that city was being shipped to the
Interstate Lumber Company of
Butte. The letter was referred to
the Carpenters Union.
Attorney General Harrison J.
Freebourn gave a complete descrip-
ton of the relations between the
Prison Board, consisting of Cover
nor Roy Ayers, Secretary of State
Sam Mitchell, and Attorney General
Harrison J. Freebourn, and the I'M
ion of prison guards at the peniten-
tiary and the final breakdown of
negotiations when the board refused
to enter into a contract with the
organization.
1t would appear from the evidence
now in possession of the unions, that
Attorney General Freebourn is about
the only friend that they have on
the board.
The Finance committee of Labor's
Non-Partisan League has been called
to meet at the Miners Union hall at
8 p. m. this Thursday afternoon.
Politicians are hereby notified
that their printing must bear the
label of the allied printing press.
Discussion came up in the Trades
and Labor Council owing to the
circulation of certain cards by a can
didate for the primaries. The cards
of this particular Individual bore the
label only of the pressmen. This is
not sufficient. The persons buying
printing from out-of-town should de-
mand at least that this material bear
the label of the allied printing
press. The best thing to do under
the circumstances is not to order
any printing out Of the state of
Montana at all but to get it in the
community in which the candidate
and merchant lives.
Letters were received from Sena-
tors Murray and Wheeler in refer
ence to a complaint sent in by the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil of the suppression of civil liberty
of Jersey City, New Jersey, by
Mayor Hague. Senator Murray in
formed the Trades and Labor Coun-

had instituted investigation of the
invasion and violation of civil rights
in Jersey City. He went on to say
that at the completion of the in
