THE MOONEY CASE

(OrdnSe DAILY News
The effect of the Supreme Courts find
ings in the Mooney case appears to be
that Mooney had fair trial and suffer
ed the punishment which his crime de-
served.
The Mooney case has furnished a poll
teal cause to radicalism in California
for many years. The theme of the Moo
ney league has been that an innocent man
has been the victim of miscarriage of
justice and has suffered martyrdom
for principle. On that theme, much mon
ey has been collected for Mooney defense
and much effort has been expended to
keep alive public sympathy for the man.
The Supreme Court action should re-
move the ground beneath such a conten-
ton. Too many years have passed since
the conviction for any of the passions
excited by the crime to affect the judg-
ment of the Supreme Court. Reasonable
men must assume that the court could
consider the case with judicial detach-
ment.
1t is now possible, still speaking of
reasonable men, to consider the question
of a Mooney pardon in the light of JUS
tice and public interest. 1t will not be
possible to do so if the Mooney defense
league continues to insist that Mooney
is a martyr instead of a criminal Every
court of jurisdiction in the land has de-
termined otherwise. If the Mooney de-
fense is sincere it will accept such
determination and approach the ques-
ton of pardon on the ground that the
ends of justice have been accomplished

TOO MUCH CONFLICT
IN ONE PROPOSAL

Proposition No. 21 attempts to achieve
two opposing goals: to create added tax
exemption for churches, orphanages and
colleges, and to bind existing exemptions
about with additional red tape to the
point where many such institutions would
be deprived of exemptions because of
failure through ignorance or by some
other cause to meet legal requirements.
In the former instance we believe exist
ing tax exemptions are sufficient. Sec
ondly, we believe this clause creating
new exemptions to be nothing more than
an attempt to obtain yes vote in cer-
tain circles where no would otherwise
be the answer.
AS to the second item in the proposal,
the exemptions now existing are set up
in the state constitution, plainly defined.
This proposal would not clarity these
exemptions-it would only make them
harder to obtain. Vote No.

before il was conquered. It's very
appearance filled men with terror
and it was the last of the great Al
pine peaks 10 be scaled.
The tragic story of how it was
finally conquered goes like this
After years OF trying and failing,
Edward Whymper with six compan-
ions reached the top of the Matter
horn on July IA 1865 1t was a
tremendous accomplishment. Stand
ing where no man had ever stood
before. the climbers shouted in tri-
umph as they beheld scenes of eel
estial oeadty: stretching away for Z
hundred miles were awe-inspiring
mountains wearing necklaces OF ice,
glistening in the Alpine sun. They
built a cairn. erected a flag. and
left their names in a bottle. Then
began the fatal descent. The four
climbers and the three guides We're
roped together Suddenly, one of
the climbers fell; struck the guide
in front of him. and knocked him
head over heels. They plunged
downward dragging two others with
them All seven We're tied to-
gether; all would probably have
perished together if the rope hadn't
broken. The four men in front
plunged four thousand feet through
the air, bouncing from precipice TO
precipice until their mangled bodies
landed On the glacier below Three
of the bodies were found. and bur-
led where they fell. The body of
the fourth man. Lord Francis
Douglas was never found. Seventy
three years have passed since that
tragic day. and what became of his
body is still a mystery
Whymper and his two guides re-
NAMED safe On the mountain. The
guides. paralyzed with terror, sobbed
and cried we are lost"
To remain where they stood
meant certain death from cold and
starvation. So they moved slowly
down until they reached the bot
tom the next day.
The two guides then complained
because the man who had hired
them. Lord Douglas. has been
killed and there was no one to pay
them. Whymper agreed to pay, but
they refused. urging him to report
to the papers that they had not
been paid with the hope that many
climbers would hire them next seas
on out Of pity. -Four Of the party
had plunged four thousand feet TO
a horrible death; and the only
thought OF these two guides was
how they could profit by it next
season.
Will the skeleton of Lord Doug
las ever be found? Maybe. Who
knows? When I was in the Alps
last summer. there was found the
skeleton of a preacher from Lau-
same who had fallen into a ere
vase of a glacier twenty-one years
age.

OPENING THE DOOR
FOR ABUSE OF CHARTERS

Assembly constitutional amendment
No. 50, listed on the Nov. ballot as
Proposition No. -, would amend con-
stitutional provisions for city and county
charter elections in only one important
particular.
1t would make it possible for a special
election to be called at any time to vote
on a proposed charter.
In view of the fact that adoption of
a charter by any municipal government
is a serious affair, calling for consider
able thought and lengthy preparation,
we see no reason to provide for the haste
which special election normally indi-
Gates.
A municipal charter, once adopted, is
intended to be in effect long time That
being the case, the municipality which
wishes to adopt one should be willing,
seems, to wait until general election
to pass upon such project.
Vote No.

KEEPING A FINGER
ON STATE FUNDS

Proposition No. Is on next Tuesdays
general election ballot, technical in ma
ture, would further safeguard the states
funds from misuse through carelessness
or otherwise.
This senate constitutional amendment
is technical in nature, but provides in
effect that money in the control of any
state agency except the, regency of the
University of California shall be ac-
counted for to the treasurer, and held
by him in trust for the agency depositing
it.
At present state agencies may deposit
their money in an active account, which
does not draw interest, prior to the time
it finds its way into the treasury. Under
the proposed amendment, the money
could be deposited in an inactive account,
interest bearing, until drawn on by the
agency.
Under this proposal the state would
receive between S150,000 and 100000
in interest it does not now receive, and
its funds would be under such scrutiny
that a rapid accounting would be pos
sible.
Vote Yes.

SCATTERING RESERVES
IS UNBUSINESSLIKE

A business man would not be very
wise if, having accumulated fairly
large surplus and at the same time en-
joying good business, he decided to scat
ter the entire surplus to his stockhold
ers on the assumption that business
would continue to be good, and no un-
expected bills would be presented.
Yet that is what Proposition No. 10
attempts to do in the affairs of the ad-
ministration Of the Veterans Farm and
Home Purchase Act.
This act has worked so we'll, and ad-
ministrative costs been so far under
original estimates, that a large surplus
has been accumulated. The proposition
under consideration would provide for
distribution of this surplus to the veter-
ans.
Eventually home buying veterans will
receive any existing surplus, but at the
present time we believe the surplus
should remain intact to meet possible
financial emergencies.

Famous Sayings

If there is anything to the theory
that business revival gets along
faster When the people really be-
lieve that the revival is taking
place. it would be a good thing for
all Americans to pay attention to
the business news in their daily
papers.
According to the most recent dis
patches, an upsWing of really sub
stantial proportions is at last under
way
Consider, for instance. a current
survey in the Wall Street Journal.
This quotes Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins as saying that re-
employment in September n q
reached the highest point for the
year, and Went on to add that
October would almost certainly be
much better than September. Pro-
duction of electric power equipment
is booming and may even break the
record of 1929. Steel production is
up to approximately 81 per cent OF
capacity. New York retail trade
leaders expect the sales trend to go
on rising for several months.
Yet that is only a starter. Freight
car loadingS for the week ending
Oct l5 stood at the highest point
for any week since Nov. T. 1887.
Freight movement by truck is also
up, the September figures-for the
first time this year-shoWing an
increase over the corresponding
month in 1887.
The New York Times business in
deX stands at the years high. In
the Michigan auto production belt
Things are booming, with men re-
turning to work by the thousand
and output Of cars rising steadily.
Increased movement OF heavy COM
modities is reflected in the figures
for Great Lakes shipping, which in
October reached its highest level
for the year
Recital of such facts makes ra.h-
er dull reading, perhaps. 1t is a
little hard to see the realities be-

We sometimes forget how closely
the worlds troubles today are re-
lated to economic depression. Rev
olutionary movements, dictator
ships, war Scares. re armament
drives. cut-throat trade wars that
endanger world peace-all of these
in one way or another grow out of
economic collapse They are made
uminous by the pressure which hard
times exert on desperate people.
There are various safeguards
that we can take against these
perils of course. But the surest
of all safeguards is prosperity. A
prosperous people is never prey
TO isms' it never produces trouble
for itself or for others. and because
it is able to provide itself with
ample means of defense.
So one need not be a Babbitt or
a money-loving materialist to say
that a healthy and lasting business
revival would be the best thing
that could happen TO America right
now Wholly aside from the misery
and uncertainty it would relieve, it
would give us our best possible in
surance against the dangers which
are so tragically plentiful in the
world TODAY. And it is hardly going
too far 10 say that we have no more
important task right now than to
nutura this business revival and
make it sound and permanent.

when he came to a ford. A darby
was standing by the little stream
where some ducks were swimming.
The salesman said: "Can / get

couraged, drove into the stream,
only to find that the water was so
deep that II flooded his engine. He

needed on each oil field a great
number of men to work as drill
lers, repairmen. inspectors, iron
workers, pipe filters, welders,
mechanics, carpenters. and
bumpers, besides truckers or
railroad men. A refinery en-
ploys pipefitters, mechanics
carpenters, painters, chemists,
guagers, stillmen, firemen, cleo
tricians, clerks, salesforce, fore
men, and truckers or railroad
men. In short, the oil industry
supports thousands of workers.
The spending of money earn
ed by these men affects directly
or indirectly, almost every
other form of business in Mon
tana. Oil workers cannot pur-
chase food, clothing and furni-
ture without helping the farm
ers, the ranchmen, the mer-
chants and the manufacturers.
AS oil wells are highly taxed,
these taxes are helping Mon
tana to grow and to expand.
They make it possible to build
the highways, schools, and in
situations, the citizens of Mon
tana have always priced. Since
it is possible to help indirectly
the improvements of our state
merely by buying oil produced
of Montana, why not buy them?
We would be ungrateful in
deed if we did not answer Mon
tanans call for help when one
of her greatest industries is in
danger.
If we are to help cultivate
home industry, give employment
to Montana citizens, help Mon
tana business grow, and make
money to further the building
up of the state we honor and
love, we must not only talk, but |
begin now to buy Montana oil
and gasoline.

MONTANA OIL FOR
MONTANA PEOPLE
By Mildred Anderson

Of the many different sourc-
es of Montana wealth, oil is
now perhaps the most import
ant. Everyday it is used in
cars, in trucks and in machin-
cry; besides being valuable as
an export. We can help to
develop this industry by buying
Montana crude oil products.
There is in Montana a great
need for sale of oil. Just re-
Gently we lost, to a Canadian
competitor, our entire sale to
the Dominion of Canada. Be
cause of this loss, the excess oil
has had to be stored, increasing
the loss on sales by the expense
of storage. AS this oil is not
selling, the price is going down,
wells are being closed, men are
losing jobs, and the entire oil
industry is threatened.
The oil from these wells of
Montana, scattered from the
boundary of Canada to Wyom-
ing, is of the best possible quail
ity. The oil and cracked gas
refined in the modern Montana
Refineries is equal to any in
the United States. That in the
Cat Greek wells is found to
have as little asphalt and lube
oil as to be disable in Diesel
engines without refining.

to describe the types of employ
ment provided by the oil indus
