The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1940-01-04

This week the Eardin Tribune Herald passes its thirty;
second birthday. The old Hcrdin Tribune wos established and
the first issue published on January 10, 1908.
Mony things have happened in Hardin and throughout
the world since then. We have watched wars and fought IN
them. we have w~eothered depressions, douths and grosshopper
pogues.
Styles have run the gdmut from hobble skirts TO q revival
OF hoops and back again. and the weu-dressed man OF 1903
might look q bit odd himself if we met him today.
We thought it might be interesting TO look over some Of
the first issues Of Hdrdns first newspaper and see what was
OF vital interest 10 Hardin citizens in those days. 49,
Unfortunately, the first paper is lost, but the second one;
yellow and brittle is still in our files. Ads on the front page call
attention TO the virtues OF the Bank OF Hurdin, with J. F. Arnold
as president and E. A. Howell as cashier. Carl RunklA tdl-
ents in surveying ore also described.
A note of interest ellis OF the founding OF the Hardin Com
mercial club. ond Mr. Runkin is ogoin mentioned. He was sec
retdTY then os he is now.
We also note that DR.. M T. Knowles. state veterinarian, op-
posed the dipping OF cutle in his annual report.
In the local and personal items we discover that M. M
Brooks. q prominent cattle man Of Bozemon, is spending the
week in Hordin and vicinity. and thot Sivert Torske. q recent
arrival from Minnesota, filed on 100 acres on the bench east
OF Hordin. John Torske was in town Monday from his ronch
home on the bench west OF Hardin. He had Just completed q
well. ond soid he found q good flow OF excellent water at 20

way. Before completing this
program it wishes to make sure
that there is no new develop
ment in naval warfare that
would make this program out
of date.
For this reason work has
been held up deliberately on
the 10,000-ton cruisers Cleve-
land and Columbia. The Navy
was waiting to see how effec-
tive the 10,000-ton German poe
ket battleships would prove.
What happened to the Admiral
Graf Spec is a partial answer.
Much is being printed these
days about breaking the Brit
ish blockade. Naval experts say
this may be done, but in the
same breath add that in several
centuries only one man was
ever able to win out in the end
against British sea power.
The name of this one mar
was George Washington.
1t has been announced that
since the beginning of the
present administration in
Washington no fewer than 2,35s
executive orders" have been
issued from the White House
These range from orders Great
ing ambaSsadorships to Others
changing the date for obServ-
ance of Thanksgiving.
Upon learning of the 2,35S
figure, one Washington writer
commented: The one order q
lot of us would like to hear is
AS you Were!"

billions IS the maximum the
federal government can Dor
row.
Federal spending exceeds fed
eral income. by sucn a pro
portion that this will make the
administration operate on a
close margin. And, in addition
to last years expenses the ad-
ministration wants another half
billion for military prepared
ness.
The administration claims
that in the last two years Con-
gress voted $3.50, 900 900 in ben
eft payments. Now the admin
istration says Congress shall re-
pay this money. That will mean
new taxes and Congress does
not wish new taxes in an cleo
ton year.
If the president insists that
Congress vote this money the
legislators have two ways out.
They can approve Secretary
Wallace's Certificate Plan which
is the 1899 name for Processing
Taxes, or it can vote a national
defense tax.
Note: The proposed certifi-
cate plans would work this
way: Farmers who comply with
acreage allotments would re-
ceive special certificates for the
difference between the market
price and parity prices. Process
sorS then would be required to
purchase certificates along with
the purchase of farm commodi-
ties. Presumably this extra cost
to the professor would be
passed along to the consumer,
But no matter by what name
a tax is known it means TAX
ing money out of somebody's
pocket and even in a nation
now accustomed to talking OF
billions, the procedure is not
painless.

Wranglers' Club Enjoys
Most Interesting Meeting

Twenty-four members and guests
of the Wranglers' club gathered in
the Presbyterian church parlors
last night for the clubs regular
dinner and discussion period. DR..
u. M Cairns was the leader for the
evening and chose as the topic for
discussion a general consideration
of THE Second World War" Dr.
Cairns proved himself very inter
esting and informative leader in
his general resume of the subject.
He had assigned various phases of
the topic to different members for
discussion, and taken all in all the
meeting was most interesting and
instructive. All phases of the world
war were discussed-political, fl
nancial, economic, social and even
reaching into the realm of prophecy
what to expect after the war is
ended. 1t seemed to be quite gen.
eral opinion that more and more
thinking men are looking forward
to final federation OF European
powers that will do away with re-
curing wars on that continent. 70

Republicans


The hope that the time is not
far distant when every American
will have the right to vote was ex-
pressed by Senator Burke Of Ne
braska before the District League
Of Republican Women, meeting yes
terday at the Mayfiower Hotel.
The Senator explained that the
question had been asked him short
ly before leaving the Capitol to
speak before the organization, why
he wasted his time addressing a
group OF women Of which few II
any had the vote"
Relative to the recent political
campaign the Senator declared sat-
isfaction that the Republican party,
although defeated. had given proof
Of a strong minority with sufficient
numbers to prove healthy opposi-
ton to the other party.
II firmly believe In q two-party
system" he said. "It has always
prevailed in this country, and it
would be q great calamity If the
country divided into q number Of
cliques or parties fighting for su-
premacy. The success Of the coun.
try" he added. depends upon hav-
ing two major parties somewhere
near the same strength. Where one
party does not have vigilant opposi-
ton from another 1t is always bad
for the country. There is no way
that one party can be held in re-
straint unless from vigilant opposi-
ton from the other party" he as
serted.
