A Prayer
BY ELEANOR STROBE,

PoWell Junior Hlgn SChool.
Dear God, help me to do what's
right,
That I may say to you each
night:
1--WE helped some one upon
their way
And made life brighter for to-
day.
God, bless the poor, the hungry
feed;
Oh! help the ones that are in
need.
God, guide me on the rightful
way
Don't let my feet e'er go astray.

love to walk in the forest
When Autumn has colored the
leaves;
It's quiet there, and peaceful,
So far from world that grieves.
I love to walk in the moonlight
When winters artistic hand
Has outlined an icy landscape
And created a fairyland.
love to walk through the meadows
When spring has arranged the
scene,
Has touched life to every flower
And made all the earth rich and
green.
love to walk by the river
When summer has gilded each
day,
| Made life one grand, glorious rap

BY melting all sadness away.
Each season, I think, is an artist
Who paints on a canvas with skill,
And places it here in the frame of
the world
For me to enjoy at my will.

Deloughery Reports On
Reduction of WPA Jobs

In a report of the Planning Board,
Delegate Deloughery mentioned that
a reduction of 10 per cent will take
place on WPA operations in the near
future. He said that it is antici-
pated 387 persons will be laid off
including 54 women from the sewing
rooms. A number of projects will
be discontinued including, perhaps,
Walkerville, Gregson Springs, Basin
and Divide. He said that street oil
ing and county road work will take
up the major part of WPA work
this summer. Mr.. Deloughery ex-
planned that this was an executive
order and local authorities in charge
of the WPA had no other recourse
but to obey.

with Mr.. Finnegan and felt that he
should be retained. However, the
opinion prevailed that inasmuch as
the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council usually acted upon recon-
mendations from either a union or
another central labor council, that
the position of the central labor
body of Anaconda should be OBJ
tanned.
Mr.. Mernin, delegate from the
BARRIERS Union, submitted a very
complete and clear report of the
relief meeting at the Miners Union
hall last Sunday. Mr.. Mernin is a
delegate from the BARRIERS Union to
the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council and was appointed by Chair
man Davis to attend the meeting.
He was elected permanent chairman
of the organization.
The meeting was in relation to a
protest concerning proposed reduc-
ton in old age pensions and aid to
dependent children. 1t seems that
Mr.. Brandjord, chairman of the
State Welfare Association, had
threatened to make drastic reduc-
tons in these cases. The Miners pro-
tested and asked other organizations
including church organizations, civic
bodies, to join with them. At the
meeting Tuesday night of the Silver
Bow Trades and Labor Council it
was brought out that at the present
time there is only enough money
available to the Welfare Commits
sion to carry through April and May,
even on the proposed 20 per cent
reduction. The unions throughout
the state have three courses open
to them. They may go into court
to compel the State Welfare Com
mission to continue payments, they
may demand a special session of the
legislature or they may ask the State
Welfare Board in a written request
to continue the payments as hereto
for. The miners and civic organiza-
tons, ministerial association are not
going to permit children and old
people to be punished in order to
allow the state of Montana to put
more money into its general fund.

Actions such as that taken by the
dealers of your city have not been
disregarded by the company. They
have given every community some
reason why the boycott should be
lifted, and strange as it may seem,
they always claim that they are not

the claim that he has no interest in
the Home Oil but gets his gas so
much cheaper. The net price to him
is Is cents a gallon, or less than a

issue, but there is no limit on what
we can ask for a wage scale when
our contract expires.
We need the continued support of

it will probably take at least a year

SILVER GASOLINE is UNFAIR

The Trades and Labor Council
went on record as approving a move
ment to secure pardon for four coal
miners imprisoned for life in Har-
Ian county, Kentucky, for alleged
murder of some gunner down there
in 1881 at which time the coal miners
were on strike.
A request came from the publicity
committee of the Fourth of July

Labor Council to use pictorial sta
tionary designed to emphasize the
Butte celebration. The Trades and
Labor Council decided to buy some
of the stationery and to have its
emblem and names of officers print
ed thereon. There was some dis
cussion in the Trades and Labor
Council over the value Of such a
procedure and whether the purchase
of the stationery would be as val
liable as donating SIS or $40 outright

A long and anonymous letter came
into the Trades and Labor Council
stating that there is a movement on
foot now to put all work in the
sewing rooms of the state of Mon
tana on a piece time basis. The
writer reminded the Trades and La
Dor Council that the sewing rooms
were not set up as an industry to
compete with private concerns, but
primarily as a relief project. The
letter charged that Mrs. Olson was
instituting a speedup piece work
system, contrary to all the standard
regulations of organized labor in the
state of Montana. 1t asked the
central labor council to intervene to
protect women in the sewing rooms
who have no other source of help.
The whole matter was referred to
the special relief committee of the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil consisting of Blewett, Mullaney,
and Erler.
The Trades and Labor Council
contributed 81 to help along the
work of the Cooperative Health
Committee started by the Engineers
Union and which is being assisted
by memberships from other organi-
cations. Tom Brown of the Engi-
neers Union is chairman of the hos
pitalization committee, while Nor
man LeFevre of the Miners is sec
rotary. The last meeting of this
committee took place Monday, April
3rd, at 7:30 p. m. at the Engineers
office at the Carpenters Union hall
and the next meeting will be held
at the Engineers office about the
18th of the month. People are urged
to watch for announcements. All
organizations and persons interested
in the cooperative disqualification
movement or the specialization of
medicine are urged to attend the
meeting. Labor organizations and
other civic bodies are urged to do
nate 81 to help the cause along. The
Trades and Labor Council went on
record as favoring the passage of
the compulsory health bill now be-
fore the United States Congress.

WHITEWASH THAT'S
TOO WHITE

Governor Culbert L. Olson, in an
this week that he had COM
|pleted an investigation of communistic
influences in state relief departments,
painted altogether too rosy picture
when he declared that not one charge
had been substantiated, that not one COM
munist had been found in an executive
position in any state relief office, and
that the American Legion Americanism
commission was 100 per cent wrong
about the whole thing
1t is conceivable that the commission,
through error, exaggerated the extent
to which communism has penetrated the
relief program. Let us admit for the
sake of argument. Beginning with that
admission, it is entirely inconceivable
that any thorough investigation of any
relief program, whether in California
or elsewhere, could fail to turn up at
least one communist sympathizer who
has wormed his way into official graces.
One cannot escape the conclusion that
Governor Olson's Investigation" was
made with only one purpose in mind
to find nothing wrong

RIDERS
ARE VICIOUS
(WaIl Street Jo0rnal)

There will be few indeed to dissent
from President Roosevelt's condemna-
ton of the old congressional trick of
attaching riders" to bills otherwise
assured of executive approval to accom-
p!ish Legislation which, standing aone,
would be in all probability vetoed either
because Objectionable in itself or insult
ficiently studied The strategy is sim
pie TO the point of crudity, and is prac-
ticed usually At the end of a session. A
typical example was that of the Miller
Tydings amendments to the Sherman
antitrust law tackled TO the District of
Columbia appropriations bill followed
shortly by adjournment of congress, but
the record is full of similar instances in
the past.
The practice is essentially dishonest
in principle and a violation of constitu-
tional spirit, if not letter, for it is an
attempt To nullify the executives veto
power. If it cannot be eradicated in any
other way, it would seem to be neces-
sary for the executive to adopt drastic
ers. Supposing an extreme case of vital
measure carrying necessary appropria-
tions in the closing days of a session to
be loaded with a rider having no relation
whatever to the measure, which rider
was known to be Objectionable to the
executive, public opinion would in all
probability support the executive in
veto of the whole business, followed by
a call Of congress in special session inn
mediately after adjournment to pass
the appropriation.
So far from this being "dictatoriaP
proceeding, it would in effect be a re-
turn to strict constitutional principles.
The fundamental purpose of the veto
power is TO assure full legislative consid-
Grafton of a measures proposed by con-
gress. The purpose of the rider prac-
tice is 10 sip measures through the veto
power for which a two-thirds overrid-
ing vote could not be secured This is
pure evasion of a most important prin-
ciple in our federal government system,
and no amount Of temporary inconven-
ience is too high a price to pay for stop
ping it.

IMPERIAL VALLEYS
BIGGEST SELLING POINT

Imperial Valley this week was well
launched on campaign to take fnil
advantage of its greatest asset, the All
American canal.
Through the joint efforts of chambers
Of commerce and other civic organlZa-
tions in all valley cities, plans are under
way for a monster celebration to herald
completion Of the canal some time next
year.
To Imperial Valley people themselves,
completion of the canal will mean the
end Of more than 20 years of narrowing
negotiations, during all Of which their
supply was at the mercy OF an alien
government. When the canal IS done,
the climax will have been reached IN
struggle that-as sort OF sldehght-
included construction Of Boulder dam,
enactment of the Swing-Johnso bill IN
congress, and other national develop
ments
More pertinent to today's life, compile
|tion of the canal will open the way for
realization of another in the five point
program promulgated early this year
by this newspaper for accomplishment
in 1889 That fiye-point program is:
/. RefuRding of Imperial Irrigation
District Indebtedness. (NOW on the tCdy
TO ompiistment.)
2 Drainage of farm lands in the dis
trfct. (AfsO nearing realizatiOn.)
,. Business management OF the Hri-
CATION districts public poper system.
T. Full utilization of the All Ameri-
can canal as means of bringing to the
attention of other areas the desirdbility
of life in Imperial Valley.
5. Solution of the Uatiey's crop mar
keting and land use problems. (EUen
n0tc the subject of intense study by
the proper agencies.
By means of monster celebration
such as that planned to welcome first
water in the All American canal, valley
residents will accomplish two things:
l. They will fittingly commemorate
their own victory over circumstances
and: 2. They will attract the eyes of
many from other parts of the nation to
the valley.
Because the canal serves the valley
as a whole, because every part of the
valley Joined in fighting for its construc-
tion, and because its completion will
bring manifold blessings to every part
of the valley, the canal celebration
should and will be one planned by the
whole valley, for the whole valley, and
participated in by each city and COM
munity in the valley.
