A resident of the state more than
40 years, Justice Stewart began his
public career in 1904 when he was
elected attorney for Madison coun-
ty, position he held two terms.
During that time he was attorney
for Virginia City.
From 1910 to 1912 he led the De-
mocratic party in the state as chair
man of the state central committee
Nineteen hundred and twelve saw
him elected to the governorship-he
was Montana's fifth chief executive
Sam Stewards two terms as COVER
nor were filled with hard work,
the first four years brought the pre-
war troubles while the second term
saw the numberless problems that
confront chief executive in time of
war
Upon retiring from the governors
chair, Mr.. Stewart resumed his pro-
fession, the law, entering a partner
ship with John G. Brown of Hele-
ma. During this association he was
Helena city attorney for five years.
Nineteen hundred and thirty saw
the prominent lawyer elected to the
house of representatives from Lewis
and Clark county-he was the first
ex-governor to serve in the law
making body. His constituents sent
him back to the house in 1881.
The next year he was elected to
the state supreme court, and during
his first six-year term was recog-
nized as one of the clearest-minded
jurists ever to ponder the troubles
of Montana and her residents.
Last fall the voters of Montana
returned him to the high court with
gratifying vote. The only major
political reverses Sam Stewart
knew occurred in 1928 and 1896,
when ne ran for the United States
senate in the Democratic primary.
After announcement of the jurist's
death, kilograms expressing regret
and sympathy poured into Helena
from all parts of the nation. Cover
nor Roy E. Ayers and numerous
other state officials made state
ments expressing their sadness at
the rntimely passing of the man
who earned lasting fame in the state
as "Montana's war time governor"

Everyone in touch with affairs
abroad seems sure that Hitler will
make new peace overtures to Britain
and France before 1ong-Mussolini's
strange speech Of September %
seemed to disclose the way the wind
is blowing. Likewise. everyone seems
convinced that France and Britain
will again, as before, say nothing
doing-they are sure Chamberlain
meant it when he said the allies
were out to destroy Hitlerism once
and for all.
Abroad bitterness seems to grow.
In a recent Paris dispatch to the na-
ton, Douis Fischer said that the
mood in Paris and London today is
to fight for Versailles which will
"ut-Versailles Brest. Litovsk. 1.-THE
harsh treaty of Brest Litovsk was
forced on defeated Russia when she
made her pre- general armistice peace
with Germany. The French espe-
cially, say well-informed, apparent
ly feel that this time German power
must be ruthlessly destroyed. lest
another Wilhelm II or Hitler arise
in the next generation.
The Allies statements that they
are prepared for long war seem to
be supported by the strategy adopted
by the high command, headed by
French Marshal Gamelin. The air
forces have been kept out of action
as much as possible and conserved.
Action against the German West
Wall has been extremely careful.
Apparently a war of attrition il
planned.

CHALLENGE TO
POLITICIANS

Soak the rich and help the little
fellow, has been for years the gen.
eral premise upon which our tax
System" has just "growed." 1t is
based upon deceit and maintained
by deceit. The little fellow" who
can more properly be called Ameri-
cas- vast working middleclass, has
borne the brunt of this deceit, al
though he does not realize it.
There are not enough rich" peo-
pie IN the United States to maintain
the Federal government for more
than a brief period, even if every
nickle they possessed was confis-
Gated. Politicians know the futility
of soaking the rich" But many
have not the integrity to admit it
publicly. They deliberately advo-
cate the continued spread, in one
form or another, of the vicious prac-
tice of hidden taxation" in spite of
the fact that the practice, if not
curbed, will spell ultimate ruin to
the nation and the individual citi-
zen.
Tax hypocrisy in this nation must
be shown up. The tax base must be
broadened so that all persons pay
direct taxes, instead of indirect as
sessments which they do not realize
but which lull them into a feeling
of temporary security which does
not exist.
Here is challenge to our politi-
clans to drop hypocrisy for the sake
of solvent fiscal sanity, for the be-
nefit of the nation, even if it costs
them temporary loss of votes.

publicity given this brazen attempt
to separate the Indians from what
little money they may have, the
more we shall be able to enlighten
the Indians and protect them
against exploitation"
Secretary Ickes pointed out that
the collection activities of Mr.. Bru-
ners Indian Federation had gone
so far as to take legislative form in
a resolution introduced, at MIR. Bru-
ner's request, during the last ses-
sion of Congress by Representative
Usher L. Burdick of North Dakota.
This resolution asked Congress to
appropriate gifts of $1,000 each for
4.644 persons named in the resolu-
ton and described as being volun-
tary members of the American Fed
Grafton" The resolution also sought
similar payments of $4,000 each,
not only for every Indian VINO with
in a year from the introduction OF
the bill applied for the money, but
for every dead ancestor in whose
name an application was filled with
the Federation. 1t was estimated
that the measure would have made
the Federal Treasury liable for pay
meats totaling 10 billions of dollars
The Federation was taking applica-
tons at the rate of 81 per applicant
and the same amount for every an
ceStor.
On April %, 1899, Secretary Ickes
suggested to Representative Bur
dick that the resolution be with
drawn concluding this request with
this statement: Those who prevail
ed upon you to introduce their bill
have, obviously, no legislative in
tent. They know that their bill can
never pass Congress or become a
law. They are engaged in a parti-
cularly cynical scheme of which In
dams are the victims.
Subsequently Representative Bur-
dick withdrew the resolution in COM
pliance with the request and in
formed the Secretary the matter
had been introduced originally "by
request" of Mr.. Bruner.

UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF THE
INTERIOR OFFICE OF
INDIAN AFFAIRS

In response to a reported demand
that he issue an apology and retrac-
ton, Secretary of the Interior Har-
old L. Ickes today reiterated his
denunciation of the scheme of the
American Indian Federation to col
lect S1.00 from each living Indian
and Sl.00 for each deceased ancestor
of such Indian, on the strength of a
promise that the federation would
promote legislation which would
give Indian contributors $4,000 out OF
the Federal Treasury for every dol
lar invested.
According to published reports
the executive committee of the Am
erican Indian Federation at a SEES
sion in Mandan, North Dakota, re
Gently instructed its President, JOS
eph Bruner of Sapulpa, Oklahoma
to demand an apology and a re-
traction from Secretary Ickes under
threat of a damage suit should the
Secretary refuse to comply. Mr.
Bruner especially deplored the cha
racterization of the Federation's
collection-legislation scheme as a
racket, and he resented the fact
that the Indian office had seen fit
to collect evidence pertaining there
to.
In reply to the Federation's de-
mand Secretary Ickes stated today:

Both sides know that each depends

1t is the racketeering radicals that
cause the trouble. When they I'M
