DEFENSELESS AMERICA

in railroad securities has existed for
years. Railroads frequently have
found the highly respected big
names of the insurance world useful
props. For some reason which es-'
capes explanation, insurance exec
utives have come to be regarded as
the bon ton of American business
personnel = aloof, enormously wise
and somehow benign. They are the
sacred cows of American business.
Although the insurance companies
have been exposed repeatedly as
bureaucratic human organizations
which charge excessive rates and
mix in the rough and tumble of COM
merce, biting and scratching with
the best of them, their halos seem
to be untarnished and untarnishable.
There is a reason for it. When
President steps out Of office and
into the kindly role of elder states
man, he becomes life insurance
director. Coolidge and Hoover both
did it. So has almost every other
super-prominent citizen. Moreover,
the country is not in the habit of
looking too searchingly at organiza-
tions with s28, 1000, 100000 of assets
and 64,00O000 customers.
But for all their reputation of pi-
BUSINESS, the insurance companies
operate one of the most realistic
and efficient of Hobbies and resort
to about the same practices as the
railroads. They can cooperate with
out soiling each other. Operating
under the name of the Association
of Life Insurance Presidents, or
ganized after Charles Evans Hughes
had exposed the "clandestine" meth
DDS of the insurance men in 1906,
the lobby maintains flying squad
ron which can be rushed to any one
of the 48 state capitals or to Wash
ington as need for its service
arises"
The Pressure Boys In Montana make
the state government buy fire insur
ance on state property. In 1928
voted in the legislature to quit this
and put the appropriation in a fire
fund instead. II that plan had beef
followed that fund would now be above
one-half million dollars. The fire loss
on state property since 1928 has beef
less than $4,000 Boast of the stupid
ity of our governors as we may! No
one is so dumb as not to know this
To make the change would anger
seven thousand insurance agents.
The interest on the National deb
is about billion dollars a year. The
profit on the insurance business an.
nually in the nation is above two ant
one-half billion The budget could be
balanced and the debt reduced II the
government should take over the in
surance business, but then the big
bankers could not wallow in other PEG
Piles money as they do with the Life
Insurance Reserves.

| Leo Huberman must have realized
that it was indiscreet to bring out
another book just five weeks after
his name appeared as labor editor of
PM. Every writer for miles around
who could tell the difference between
strike and lockout was pleasantly
anticipating a summons from Pub
Usher Ralph Ingersoll to take COM
mand of the labor desk on the new
New York daily, and when the prize
went to Huberman the huzzahs were
not loud enough to drown out the thud
of dropping pin.
It's a safe bet that America, In
corporated Viking, New York, $2.75)
will be microscopically examined by
writer's in the politico-labor field, and
that few reviewers will give the author
the benefit of any doubts. Indeed the
book has already been greeted with
salvo of sneers by Benjamin Stol-
berg, who is remembered for his un-
fortunate prediction of Homer Mar
tin triumph in the United Automobile
Workers schism-a forecast that went
to press just as the opposite forecast
of more discerning observers was be-
ing indicated.
Huberman's book is good enough
to merit the prestige that will accrue
from panning by Stolberg. Not a
long volume, it is divided into two

the manner in which the minutes of
the official proceedings of the board
graphs of the findings of the investi-
eating committee in connection with
this relates that the minutes OF the
meeting held on September 10, 1888,
noted all members of the board pres
ent, whereas investigation disclosed
that on that day, one Of the three
members was in Forsyth and one was
driving from Billings to Helena at
the time of the meeting as evidenced
by the expense vouchers of these two
members. In the second instance dis
covered by the committee, the minutes
show all members of the board pres
ent on meetings on three days when
expense vouchers filed for those same
days proved that one of the members
had been in Butte, Missoula and Great
Falls on the three days in question.
In all, 81 other instances of the min
utes being inaccurate Ito describe it
mildly were found by the committee.
Kind to Corporation
/ Among other items brought out in
the report of the investigating COM
mittee was the fact that the Interna-
tional Elevator Company had been per-
mitted to escape the payment of any
corporation license tax from 1927 to
1929 inclusive, and this Oversight" ON
the part of the board undoubtedly rep
resented loss of tax revenue to the
state of some thousands of dollars.
Since an action for collection of taxes
will not lie retroactively for more than
three years, when started in 1888 it
was not possible to collect farther than
three years back.
An investigation might also be in
order of the bank examiners depart
ment, inasmuch as there is evidence
by the statement of an examiner to
"a banker, that the methods of exami-
nation are determined by the pro-ad-
ministration or otherwise of the bank
examined.
To the observer, it would appear
more necessary to see to what extent
existing laws are observed and adj
ministered, rather than to pass many
new laws.

parties could learn lot from this
convention here.
Democratic Convention
For example, the republicans met
in their convention last week in Phil
adelphia They appointed resolu-
lions committee. That committee
meets for about a week, and they
write what they call a platform, or
at least a majority of them write what
they call a platform: They then re-
fuse to give out that platform to any
delegate or to anyone at all, even to
the all-powerful press, until they sub
nit it to the convention. Not one
delegate outside of those on the COM
mittee sees a single resolution that
| is offered to the convention. And
then somebody gets up and glibly
reads the whole platform in about
| 20 minutes, as fast as he can, and
then someone else gets up and Sec
onds the motion and moves its adop-
ton Without any debate whatever,
without any opposition or any kind
VI uCDdlc, Lut pldIlOi III 10 oooptOu.
Nobody has seen it, nobody knows
what is in it, and like a lot of auto
nations they adopt the platform. when
theydon't know what is in it. But
you here evidently have something to
say about the resolutions that come
before your convention, and you have
voice and a vote, and you can vote
these resolutions up or vote them
down. And it seems to me that Is the
American way, and that the other way
is the totalitarian way or the way of
Hitler or Mussolini.
"In the future hope that the party
that l belong to will disregard, will
throw overheard, that system, and
open up its platform and it's resolu-
lions to the delegates elected by the
people back home"

parts: the background of corporate
industrial America since 1860, and ar
appraisal of the impact of the New
Deal.
The 10 chapters make a first-rate
guide to an understanding OF what IL
happening in the U. s. today. Docu
mented with statistics chosen to tel
the story In few lines Of type, the
book recites many familiar facts with
new force and freshness. f
Some of us, for example, may have
found it hard to blast the charge OF
newspaper publishers that the Wagner
act stacks the cards in favor OF labor
Through the simple device of quoting
a speech made some time ago by
NLRB Chairman ]. Warren Madden
Huberman makes 1t devastatingly
clear that the Wagner act goes only a
little way toward giving labor equal
rights.
On the issue of the New Deal, the
author correctly points out that Roose
welt is no revolutionist. The Presi
dent is praised for IVA and for max
ing a small start in public housing
among other things. Not 80 with
foreign policy Our yielding up OF
democratic Spain to Mussolini and
Hitler is called 1.-THE blacklist mark in
the whole record of the New Deal, a
crime which nothing can condone or
extenuate."
Today, Hubernran says, "the demo-
Gratis have nothing to offer which the
republicans also are not willing to
offer" He recalls that in 1884 Roose.
welt said: 81 stand or fall by my re
fusal to accept as necessary con
dition of our future permanent army
of unemployed. But the army of un-
employed is still with us, Huberman
notes.
His conclusion is: America is suf-
fering from only one disease-capital-
ism. There is only one cure for that
disease. The bankrupt old firm of
America, Incorporated, organized by
and for the few monopolists, must be
recognized by the American people
for the benefit of all the 1870 million
stockholders"
If knowledge has value, this book
is equal to a wage increase for any
worker who reads it. No other recent
volume has presented the facts of
economic and political life so concisely
and effectively.

Liberal Jurist Barred
From CALIFORNIA;
Highest Court

SAN FRANCISCO. = (FP) = The
most eminent jurist in California, one
|of the most distinguished in the o.
s., Is too liberal to be allowed on the
state supreme court.
In an unprecedented action, the Cal
ifornia Commission on Judicial Quail
fications rejected Prof. Max Radin of
the University of California, appointed
by Gov. Culbert L. Olson. On the
commission was Chief Justice Phil S.
Gibson, himself an Olson appointee.
The action is final and irrevocable.
Complaints against Radin had come
from the Associated Farmers and SIM
liar employers groups, which consid-
cred him too sympathetic with labor
and particularly with the migratory
workers and the "purged" State Relief
Administration employees.
Olson commented: "His rejection
came as great shock to me. | do
not know of any man who came more
highly recommended than Max Radin.
l know of no other man more equal
to the judicial brains and tempera-
ment of Cardozo and Brandeis."

RESOLUTIONS

Whereas The Great Falls School
Board has taken initial steps toward
establishment OF reserve officers
training corps In the high school for
boys of IA years and over, and
Whereas, Although the military
course would be elective and not COM
pulsory, past experience, especially in
universities, has indicated that once
established such courses often become
compulsory and
Whereas, Elective or compulsory,
such training for young boys is fascist
and nazi in character and absolutely
contrary to all principles of American
education in democracy, and
Whereas, This republic was founded
on opposition to such authorization
of it's youth and thousands of its set
tiers came here to avoid just such
tyranny overseas, and
Whereas, No necessity whatever
has been shown for this measure, since
the United States has ample reserve
of adult manpower for any military
emergency and ample time to train
adults for national defense without
imposing the anti-democratic prin-
lciples of militarism upon children,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Cascade County
Trades and Labor Assembly condemns
the action of the Great Falls School
Board in an attempt to initiate mill
tary training for minors;
That, The Assembly urges demo-
cratic-minded citizens of Great Falls
to protest to the School Board and
request that it abandon such pro-
gram;
That, This resolution be submitted
to the press and carried in the min
utes of this Assembly, and that it be
called urgently to the attention of all
organized labor in this community.
