Practically Completed

Obviously pleased, Health Omcer
George c. Rutland sat through the
dedication of the new Southwest
Health Center last night and re-
ceived a certificate Of merit from the
Southwest Citizens Association.
The 100000 structure-which will
needs some equipment and another
internal coat of paint-represents
the first step in his dream of a series
of such polyclinics as the preventive
outposts to the costlier hospitaliza-
ton in Gallinger Municipal Hospital
Before the first was complete, he was
working on plans for second in
the central northwest section.
Il hope this will be demonstra-

members Of the Health Department
staff, ito other sections of the city
Of what is possible in health con-
servation."

Although this is the first Of its
kind in Washington, DR.. Rutland
made it clear the center is no expert
ment. 1t has a background of nearly
a quarter of century, he said, and
Washington is only catching up with
some other big cities in opening the
service.
And if we continue to forge ahead
in this way" he observed, 1.-The some
what unfortunate health record of
the District can be vastly improved
The Southwest community Is
proud of being the first to have q
health center, Harry S. Wender
president of the association, told the
group, and added: 1T will be sorry
If it is the last"
Both Mr.. Wender and DR.. Ruh-
land stressed that the health center
was the result of cooperative effort
on the part Of the community and
the health officials. The health on
Ger received the symbolic key to the
structure from Capt. John L. Person,
assistant engineer Commissioner in
charge Of building construction
The citation was presented to DR..
Ruhland by 1t. Everett J. Gordon,
physician at the Army Medical
Center and chairman of the Health
Committee of the association. The
Health Department officials present
were introduced by the Rev. Harry
V. Porter, secretary of the associa-
ton. Invocation was by DR.. Charles
B. Campbell of the Federation of
Citizens Associations. A movie on
cancer closed the meeting after
Capt. Person assured that funds
were available to paint the inside of
the structure after it had dried out
rom the winter heating.

Arnet called attention of the Asso.
citation members to the fact that vari-
GUS Bitter Rooters have been working
to secure a sire proving station for
the Bitter Root valley at which the
government would, under the proposal,
have Guernsey and Jersey bulls. He
said that land for such station had
been tentatively promised and that the
matter had been referred to officials
of the federal government in Washing
ton, d. c., and that an announcement
on the matter will undoubtedly be re-
leased in the near future. The mem
bers present agreed that such sta
ton would do more to aid the dairy
industry in the Bitter Root valley than
anything else.
1t was pointed out that there are
eight dairy herd improvement asso-
Citations operating in Montana under
the supervision of the Montana Exten-
sion Service. The top Yellowstone
association in March of this year had
eight herds with 1914 COWS participat-
ing. None of the participating asso-
Citations had in excess of 20 herds. The
Ravalli association is now composed
of 20 herds, including several in Mis-
soula county, with total of 402 cows.

KEYNOTER ASKS
FOR SOCIALISM
AS MAJOR PLANK

WASHINGTON. - OPP - POLITICAL
democracy and economic autocracy
cannot live together, Maynard Krue
ger, keynoter at the national conven-
ton of the socialist party declared
here April 6.
EITHER democracy will be extended
into the industrial field by means of
public enterprise or our industrial and
financial autocracy will turn on polit-
ical democracy and destroy it," Krue-
ger professor of economics at the
University Of Chicago, told the 200
convention delegates from 2S states.
Kruger proposed specialization as a
major part of the party's immediate
program.
When we socialists speak of social
ization," he explained 1--WE mean pub
lie ownership and operation of bust
ness, substituting the principle of pub
lie service or social utility for the
principle of private profit, preserving
free choice of occupation, free choice
of consumers goods, and freedom of
association for all functional groups
in society,""

Typewriter Cos.
Escape Penalties
For Law Violations

NEW YORK.-FP)-The leniency
of the government. toward employers
in its antitrust drive was contrasted
with its attitude toward labor when,
the day after unusually heavy SEN
fences were imposed on IL union fur
riers on a 6-year-old indictment, the
nations four leading typewriter COM
panies and their president escaped
with no sentences at all.
Assistant United States Attorney
General Berkely w. Henderson, who
recommended the maximum sentence
for the furriers, announced that the
typewriter firms had got off scot-free
on April % after signing a consent
decree in which they agreed to aban-
don monopolistic practices.
The indictments of last August had
named Remington-Rand, originator of
the Mohawk Valley strikebreaking
formula and outstanding violator of
the Wagner act, the Underwood Ell
liott-Fisher Co, the Royal Typewriter
Co., and L. C. Smith & Corona Type
writer's.
Officials of these companies were
charged with holding meetings to fix
prices, exchanging information on all
sales activities, and simultaneously
increasing prices from time to time.
When bids were submitted to pros
pective customers, all four firms sub
mitted identical offers. But when
smaller firms submitted bids, the big
four always saw to 1t that their own
were lower
The companies were also charged
with dominating the used typewriter
field by buying back old machines
by other companies and
destroying them. Under the consent
decree the firms agreed to cease all
these practices.
On the same day the National Con-
tainer Assn, manufacturers of $50
of the country's corrugated and fiber
board shipping containers, indicted
year ago for antitrust law violations,
also got off free by signing consent
decree agreeing to end monopolistic
practices.
1.-THE previously announced policy
of the department" said Thurman
Arnold, chief of the antitrust division
Of the department of justice, sis that
it will accept a decree without litiga-
ton only when it is voluntarily pro-
posed by the defendants and when it
offers stronger safeguards to protect
the public interest in free competi-
ton than can be obtained by success

In brief he discussed six misrepre-

high interest rates to farmers; he in
sisted on the scaling of debts; he in

|klansman Gets
Jail Term for
|Flogging Organizer

APP The first con-
viction following the grand jury in
|vestigation of the Ku Klux Khan was
that of Henry Cawthon, described by
the state as chief of a xxx wreck
ing crew." who was found guilty of
flogging Pierce S. Toney, organizer
for the Textile Workers Union (CIO).
A maximum sentence of II months
in the workhouse, months in Jail and
a $1,000 fine was imposed for the as
sault and battery charges by Judge
Hugh M. Dorsey Still standing is a
felony indictment charging Cawthon
with kidnapping Toney. The Fulton
county grand jury acquitted Cawthon
of eight other floggings.
The union organizer was kidnapped
and tarred and feathered by Cawthon
and his gang in August 1888. I'M
personating officers of the law, the
klansmen broke into Toney's home
and asked him why he had a foreign"
(out-of-state) license on his car.
Toney explained that he had bought
the car in another state and that he
intended to get a Georgia license
within the number of days prescribed
by the law.
The thugs then told him that he
would have to straighten out the mat
ter Immediately. Then they threw
him into car, drove him to the city
limits, tied him across stump and
whipped his bare flesh with large
leather strap. Afterward the organ
izer was dumped in an Atlanta street.
The investigation of xxx activities
started after the fatal flogging of Ike
CASTOR, East Point barber, early in
March. 1t is estimated that more
than 100 citizens in the area have
been flogged during the past two
years. The investigation has received
the support of Atlanta's two daily pa

erlin. The first two were reelected
and the third is new director. The
newly elected directors will meet
next Monday to elect officers.
Chief item of interest was the re.
port of the associations COW tester
c. A. Arnet, who made a detailed re-
port of statistics gathered by him in
his capacity. Analysing the report
of the Galatin County Testing asso
citation as published in the Montana
Farmer of April 1, 1910, Mr.. Arnet
pointed out that the Gallatin testing
herds had an average production OF
2577 pounds of butter fat per COW in
1889 which is 40 pounds above the
1888 national average for cows in i'm
provement associations. The speaker
pointed out that the Gallatin herd was
practically on the doorstep of the
headquarters of the Montana EXten-
sion Service at Bozeman and that in
view of all the advantages claimed for
the extension service it was strange
that the records showed the twenty
herds in the Bitter Root Dairy Herd
Improvement Association for the year
of testing ending January 1, 1910, had
an average production of 6,S79 pounds
of milk and 1904 pounds of butter
fat per cow The Ravalli Association
is not working in cooperation with
EyfnnCfnn S0rUiDn and
has not so operated for the past six
years due to the refusal of the mem
bers of the Ravalli Association to sub
NIT to dictation by the Service in
manner of operating their own Asso-
citation and because of a disagreement
growing out of charges that Exten-
sion Service representatives have
been either careless or incompetent
or dishonest in protecting the inter-
ests of dairy farmers in Montana.
Arnet also showed that records re-
leases by ]. o. Tretsven, dairy special
list for the Extension Service at Boze-
man revealed that the Yellowstone
County Dairy Herd Improvement AS
ISOLATION, which led the eight associa-
tions cooperating with the Extension
Service in Montana, for the month of
February, had completed a year of
testing with an average of 10,S79
pounds of milk and 4076 pounds of
butterfat per cow for the year-top-
ping all associations in the state. Arnet
pointed out that the Tretsven report
does not state that a considerable
number of the members of the yell
lowstone Association are connected
with the U. S. Government Holstein
sire proving program at the Huntley,
Montana field station where for 20
years these dairymen have had the
advantage of better bulls for sires.
Arnet pointed out that great credit
was due the U. S. government for
having established such a station
which made available these fine sires
to dairymen and resulted in the build
ing up of the Yellowstone Improve
ment Herd, as well as other dairy
herds in the vicinity of Huntley, to

passage of an amendment to the

corporations guilty of violating the

ment. This amendment, Lewis re-
port points out, has already been
passed by the senate and Is awaiting

Opposition is urged to the Walter

agencies to court review on the
ground that it would mean that work
ers seeking the protection of federal
rights would have their rights de-
feated through the delays of litigation

would escape punishment through OBJ
structive tactics"
