FREEB0URN FILES.
FOR U. S. SENATE

Attorney General Harrison ]. Free
bourn has filed for the democratic
nomination for United States Senator.
Freebourn, who is completing his first
term as attorney general incurred the
enmity OF the Montana Power Co. and
the Glacier Production Co. when he
opposed scheme for the unit leasing
OF state oil and gas lands that deprived
the state school fund of great deal
of revenue. He prevented the state
board Of land commissioners from
trading virgin timberlands of the state
for worthless cut over and burnt over
lands of the Anaconda Copper Mining
company and held that the Anaconda
Copper Mining company was violating
the eight-hour amendment to the Mon
tana constitution in working the Butte
miners 8 " hours a day. In refusing
to compromise the Clark estate he
earned the state of Montana more
than 1856, 100000 He has consistently
stood for academic freedom in the
Montana State University and has in
sited that the Public Welfare Act be
administered on the basis of decency
and health. He was recently indicted
by federal grand jury for income tax
violation. Branding the charge
against him as absolutely false and
alleging that it was the result of an
Anaconda Copper Montana Power
frameup engineered by Sen. Wheeler
to eliminate him from Montana pol
itics, Freebourn declared his intention
to carry the fight to the people of
Montana and challenge Wheeler's posi-
ton in the United States Senate
Freebourn came to Montana in 1903
where he worked In the mines at
Butte and studied law at night. Since
his admission to the bar in 1918 he
has practiced law in Butte. Prior to
his election to the office of attorney
general he served as county attorney
of Silver Bow county for three terms.
Freebourn declared that during his
term as United States senator he
would refuse to be tool of the Mon
tana Power-A. c. M. interests" and
would continue his fight for the peo-
pie and work to enact the Townsend
plan into law"

hell and high water, he holds to the
idea that the only way to remove
social ills is to remove their economic
cause This is not communism to
him, but simply hard common sense.
1t is essential to repeat that this
book is not propaganda. Nearly all
of the recent-and atrocious-flood of
books on Mexico have been special
pleading for some interest. 1t is too
easy for papers like The New York
Times, which has for years taken a
consistently anti Mexican stand, to
discourage the reading Of such books
as the Weyls' by this accusation. The
accusation of propaganda Is often it
self the most effective kind of prop
uganda.
What happened in Spain may also
happen In Mexico. This time the
friends of progress must not be at
the mercy of transformation or ignor-
ance. Mexico is not tourist para
disc, but living entity trying to work
out the solution Of its own problems
In its own peculiar way.
In many ways its solutions are more
advanced than any of those that the
new deal fell down on. Mexico has
not recognized Franco-and how many
Spanish refugees are there in the wide
and comparatively prosperous spaces
of the U. s.?

FARM INCOME ONLY
THREE-FOURTHS PARITY

WASHINGTON (FR) - Secretary
Wallace told the Senate committee on
agriculture that "the net income per
person living on farms was around
three-fourths of parity in 1889" and
that unless the Senate provided "Par-
ity payments, or their equivalent" the
farm program will be seriously ham
pered."
Wallace stated that agricultural in
come would have to be increased by
at least another IL billion dollars
in order to be at parity with incomes
of other groups" AS In his earlier
testimony before the House commit
tee on agriculture, Wallace strongly
endorsed the income certificate plan,
saying "in my opinion the certificate
plan would give it parity to them

year on June so, 1899, this accom-

around in the maze of figures we find

fund over the big increase of the year
before, amounting to $7S9,147.53. To

Mr.. Governor and tell the people of
the state about the services to them

even know about these added services.
For one, this writer doesn't.
A Suggestion
The Voice suggests, Mr.. Governor,
that if you are going to make a CAM

man that you use your control of

No doubt you will be able to convince

Finnish Co-ops Play
Big Part in War,
Says Hedberg

NEW rk-(FP)-The Finnish CO.
operatives are playing an important
role in defense against Russian ag-
gression because they are the most
efficient possible system of food dis
tribution, said Anders Hedberg, for
eign secretary of the Swedish coop
eratiye union and wholesale, Koopera-
tiva Forbundet, who has just arrived
in the U. S.
The Finnish co-ops handle about
40%c of the country's retail trade
Nationwide in scope, they can serve
the people wherever they are.
The Swedish co-operatives would
probably continue Their rapid growth
even if Sweden becomes involved in
the second world war, Hedberg pre-
dicted. Chances of Swedish participa-
ton are 1880, he said, with the Swed-
ish people and their national coalition
government determined to maintain
neutrality at all costs.
To enter the war to aid Finland
would be futile Hedberg pointed out,
for the nations now involved would
turn Sweden into battlefield almost
over night. Hence the Swedish peo-
pie could not continue the important
economic aid they are giving Finland
today.
Hedberg reported that Kooperatfya
Forbundet has given Finland $125,00O
and that the Swedish people have
o;vap con 000 O00 in each and $40 000 =
900 worth of goods-the equivalent of
SIS for every man, woman and child
in Sweden.

But war orders did not materialize
Buying had been premature. Manu-
facturers were stocked up with raw
materials. The consuming public did
not increase it's purchases.
Industries that had started on full
time production schedules ran out of
orders. The prosperity peak was
passed almost as soon as 1t was
reached. Within six weeks, the bust
ness index had turned down.
During the first four weeks the de-
cline was gradual. There was still the
possibility of war orders in anticipa-
ton of a great spring offensive. The
new congress might authorize more
government spending. A spring build
ing boom might materialize.
Instead, inaction continued on the
west front, and congress went after
expenditures with Ratchet. BY the
end of January 1910 business was
slumping rapidly.
How low will business activity fall?
The answer depends chiefly on the
war. If the Allies launch a large
scale offensive against Germany or the
Soviet Union, they will buy more sup
plies in the U. S. Such buying CAM
paign will not be extensive for at
least six months, however. By that
time business activity will probably
have fallen at least to 1889 depression
levels.
Should the U. S. enter the war, the
business pickup would be immediate
and extensive Short of U. S. parti
cipation, it is fair to assume that the
summer of 1910 will find U. S. econ
omy back in the trough of depression.
Unless all signs fail, there are hard
times ahead. The prosperity peak of
Novem ber December 1889 was one of
the shortest on record. The recession
to date is extremely sharp. American
farmers, workers and professionals.
not on government payrolls and not
connected with war industries, face a
new period of belt-tightening.

Roosevelt Looks
Abroad and Forgets
New Deal, Childs

NEW YORK.-FP)-Pres. Roose-
welt has sidetracked the new deal and
is absorbed in grandiose dreams for
saving the world, declares Marquis w.
Childs in the March issue of Common
Sense.
more and more" says Childs, "the
attitude prevails among those close to
the president that it Is futile to at
tempt any major domestic reforms so
long as the world remains in a dis
turbed condition Add to this the fact
that 40 is an election year and it is
not difficult to understand why trou-
blesome domestic issues have been
conjured out Of sight"
The author reports that opinion in
Washington is increasingly of the
view" that Roosevelt will be a candi-
date for reelection, and that he ex-
poets "to play an important role in
the settlement of world problems
which presumably will come at the
end of the war. His close advisers
regard him as the one leader who will
be qualified to show the way toward
major economic establishments.
Versailles, say those around the
president, was a mistake. to be sure,
because 1t was an effort to make over
political boundaries with no thought
for essential economic realignment.
The new peace will assure economic
equality for all peoples and political
issues will more or less solve them
selves"
Although conceding that Roosevelt's
course is shrewd for campaign pur-
poses, Childs believes that it is also
dangerous. He points out that the
president largely ignored basic issues
in his 1885 campaign, and one result
was that the nation was unprepared
for his attempt to liberalize the SUI
preme court. Hence he urges that if
the president Is booking himself for
leading role In world affairs, "he
should speak frankly and explicitly
now"
Current problems can hardly wait
for decisions, Childs warns. 1.-THE war
in Europe may have diverted our at
tention," he writes, "but 1t has not
solved unemployment, taxes, debt, or
any of the other problems that can
not be indefinitely postponed"
