LEAVE "SUCkERS" ON
THE CORN PLANT

The branches that often grow
from the base of corn plants are
commonly called suckers They
are better called tillers, and they
are essentially the same as the
much-desired 'tillers" or "stools"
in small grain. The term suckers
probably resulted from an old and
still widespread belief that these
corn tillers grow at the expense of
food materials in the main stem,
with consequent reduction in po-
tential yield of grain. That such is
not the case is evidenced by lower
yields following the removal of till
ers in numerous experiments in diff
ferent states The injury is likely
to be greatest if stands are thin,
and late removal is worse than ear
ly.
Under one condition the practice
may be a good one, says G. H.
Stringfield, of the agronomy depart
ment, Ohio agricultural experiment
station, working comparatively with
the division of cereal crops and dis
eases. u. s. department of agrlcul-
ture. If the stand is too thick, re-
moval of tillers will have an effect
much like thinning, and, in that
case, some profit may result from
the process. But, even then, the
elimination Of entire plants before
tillers make their appearance would
be more practical.
Excessive tillering is usually a re-
sponse to LIBERAL supplies of avail
able soil nitrates. Some strains.
however, tiller much more than 9TH
ers as a part of their heredity.

GARRISON COURTS
CONGRESSIONAL SEAT
IN FIRST DISTRICT

Both Republicans and Democrats
in the Western Congressional Dis
trict of Montana were delighted to
learn that John B. Garrison of
Reichle had filed for congressman
of the First District. Notwithstand-
ing that Garrison filed on the Re
publican ticket, he has a host of
friends on the Democratic side. In
fact he feels the same as thousands
of farmers and other unionists that
there is no distinction between a
liberal Republican and a liberal
Democrat; that they both desire to
assist in creating a new industrial,
social and economic order, which
would give more of the fruits of
labor to those who toll. Garrison
made an enviable record as state
senator from Madison County in the
1885 and 1897 sessions of the legisla-
ture. He was an outstanding figure
in the senate in his efforts to secure
the passage of labor measures, par
ticularly in the interests of the
trades unionists, railroad organiza-
tons and farmers. He would repre-
sent this district we'll in the national
house.

MEMBER or BARRIERS
UNION FILES FOR THE
OF LEGISLATOR

Henry Mernin, a member of the
BARRIERS Union and prominent in
labor and liberal circles for the past
decade, announces that he has filed
for the legislature on the Demo-
cratic ticket, and solicits the support
of the citizens of Silver Bow County.
He is endorsed by the BARRIERS
Union, the labor organizations and
Labor's Non-Partisan League. Mr..
Mernin was born and reared in Sill
yer Bow County, is a graduate of a
local high school. After finishing
school, he worked in the Butte mines
for two years before becoming a
journeyman barber. He has followed
the latter occupation for the past Is
years.
In speaking of his candidacy, Mer-
min stated that he believes in an
adequate occupational compensation
disease law and the 8-hour ~collar-to-
collar law, and other liberal legisla-
ton. He is opposed to all forms of
sales tax because, in his opinion, it
is not just and places the burden of
governmental operation on the
shoulders of the working people.

Street CAR Man
SEEKS JUDGE5HIp

Tim Kearney, 1860 South Gaylord,
filed for Justice of Peace, South
Butte Township. He is a member
of the Street Car Mems Union and
in that organization during the last
25 years has held every important
office. He was endorsed by the
Street Car Mems Union for the posi-
ton of County Commissioner to
which he was elected in 1924 and
in which he served eight years. He
has also been endorsed by the Street
Car Mems Union for the office to
which he is now aspiring. The record
of Tim Kearney as County Commits
sioner was outstanding. In that Of
flee he showed ability, honesty and
a refusal to be dominated by any
outside pressure. He had adhered
rapidly to the duties of the office
and served the people faithfully. If
elected to the office of Justice of
Peace of South Butte Township, it
can be predicted now that Kearney
will act with wisdom and dispense
justice impartially to all %litigants in
his court.

REGAIN HALL

NEVADA CITY, CaL-(FP)-Gov.
Frank Merriam's committee ended
its investigation of vigilantism in
Nevada County abruptly when au-
thorities refused to call witnesses.
Dist. Atty. Vernon Stoll said the
hearing was meant to compromise"
the officials, and cited the civil suit
brought in federal court by the C.
/. o. as a reason for not testifying.
Every word would be misinterpret-
ed and misconstrued in court later"
he claimed.
Stories of intimidation, threats and
beatings of members Of the Mine,
Mill and Smelter Workers Init. I'm
ion poured in upon the committee
before it adjourned. Several wit
nesses, including merchants from
Nevada City and Grass Valley, have
asked to testify in private for fear of
reprisals. The American Legion OPP
posed the request as "undemocratic
and un-American."

a Supreme Court should be. He
promises, if nominated and elected,
to reconcile law to justice and not
to use it as a means of sustaining
prejudices. This is all that the vast
majority of people want and it is all
that the MCPPA asks for.
The death of Chief Justice Sands
after the filing for state offices had
closed, leaves a vacancy for a pri-
mary nominee that must be filled
by write-in on the non-partisan jul
|dicial ballot. The council decided
that this issue is of vital interest to
the people of Montana and consid-
cred the question of who to agree
upon as a write-in candidate. The
executive board of the Council, after
considering many likely substitutes
for Justice Sands, recommended to
the convention the approval of Will
liam Cushin of Beaverhead County.
Mr.. Cushin has practiced law in
Montana for forty years and is
known in his county as the poor
mans lawyer" His remarks before
the convention made it apparent to
everyone present that he is possessed
of an open mind and has unusual
sense of justice and fair play. There
was unanimous concurrence with the
recommendation of the executive
board.
Letters expressing encouragement
and approval were received from
Congressman Bernard of Minnesota,
Coffee of Washington, and O'Con-
nell of Montana. They, with Gov
ernor Benson of Minnesota, intended
to be present at the gathering but
they were prevented from doing SC
by the belated adjournment of Con
gress.
Brief talks were also made by
candidates: Lief Erickson for Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court,
Clarence Chamberlain for Railroad
and Public Service Commissioner
(short term), Bob Emmons for the
same office (6-year term, and Her
bert Rolph for Congressman, eastern
district of the state. All are MCPPA
endorses.
Before adjourning the convention
passed a resolution requesting the
Governor to call a special session Of
the state legislature not later than
October first of this year for the
purpose of providing ample funds
for relief and welfare before the
present fund is completely ex-
hausted.

Wnai The Magazines
Are Saying

There is even more impressive
supporting evidence that certain
tendencies in present day American
culture are providing an atmosphere
in which authoritarianism appears
as a credible philosophy and way of
life. l refer to the recent growth
of neo-Thomism and its definite
capitalization into a philosophical
movement and a philosophy of edu-
cation. We are here confronted
with a program for the reorganiza-
ton of the whole of social life.
-. To the best of my knowledge
or rather opinion-the only thing
left uncertain in this view is whether
heresy is to be combated by the stake
or by the headsman's axe
The most disturbing thing about
the position just described is not its
arguments or even its conclusions,
but the danger that its basic assump-
lions are likely to be given institu-
tional force and effect. 1t is a re-
liable generalization, supported by
a study of how new ideas and atti-
tudes become accepted and habitual,
that educational institutions are
among the most effective incubating
grounds. Authoritarianism looks to
the schools in order to regiment
thought; Observation-Disclosures in
order to liberate it. But in either
case both must look to the school as
a field of utmost strategic import
ance.-Sidney Hook, in The Vir-
ginia Quarterly Review, Winter 1888.
