COD DEMANDS JUSTICE

as fires. Ye have laid up your treas
ure in the last days Behold, the hire
of the laborers who moved your
fields, which is of you kept back by
fraud, crieth out: And the cries of
them that reaped have entered into
the ears of the Lord Of Saboth. Ye
have lived delicate1y on the earth,
and taken your pleasure; ye have
nourished your hearts in day Of
slaughter.-James 5:1-5.
Without the practice of justice re-
| ligious worship is an determination in
the sight of God. Read the first chap
ter of Isaiah. God says that He can
not tolerate iniquity and the solemn
meeting. Then follows an appeal to
by one of the most beneficient gospel
invitations of the Old Testament.
Jesus says: If thou art offering
thy gift at the altar and there re-
memberest that thy brother hath
aught against thee, leave there thy
gift before the altar and go thy way.
first be reconciled to thy brother, and
then come and offer thy gift.
God tells us expressly that He will
not hear the prayers of a people who
are greatly of injustice.
Yea, when ye make many prayers,
will not hear.-Isaiah lis.
Therefore, pray not thou for this
people, neither lift up cry nor prayer
for them, neither make intercession to
me; for l will not hear thee-Jermiah
7:16. The reason is given in verses
81 where 1t is stated that they have
not thoroughly executed justice be-
tween a man and his neighbor, and
have walked after other gods.
True prayer is the opening Of the
heart to God, and this is not the case
where a person is unrepentant of IN
justice to others.
Where injustice is overlooked, the
of repentance is vanity.
We are not here teaching salvation
by works. Neither is God pleased to
see in His believing children simply
a cold administration of justice. In his
relation to God, the Christian owes
much to Gods mercy, threfore he
should show mercy to others.
A pretense of practicing mercy
while violating is hypocracy.
There is neither charity nor mercy
in giving baskets of food at Christmas
to the victims of ones own injustice.
donations by society for the
relief of families unjustly deprived of
making their own living, can not be
termed mercy. Though such acts are
until the proper adjust
ments can be made, they are but the
fractional part Of justice.
The purpose of this article is to
bring to the attention of all who de-
sire a great revival, the demand that
God makes for justice; that justice
to ones neighbor is included in repen-
lance; and that such justice must
ever be upheld by watchful living
church.

Biddle Warns OF

General Francis Biddle told the Ameri
can Bar association in a speech pre-
pared here.
There is a noticeable tendency to-
day, since anger and fear have seized
our people, to set up little dictator

'for the vigilante is a little dictator"

Leaflets, Biddle said, are part of

He urged the bar association to
form civil liberties committees to
make sure that civil rights are not
made war casualty.

Food for Thought

|
Some time ago, when the snow was
blowing and the roads most uncer
tain, the managers and boards of di
rectors of the Coop Stores in north
eastern Montana left their cozy fire
sides and drove many miles to organ
ize store association where store
problems could be discussed.
| Month after month these men left
their homes and families in order to
attend these meetings. The main is
sue at that time being the possibility
of arranging for a fruit truck to &C
to the western states and get fruit
and deliver it to the farmers. A short
route from producer to consumer. Aft
er much planning and many discour
agements their dream was finally real
lied. A truck was acquired, driver
hired and off to Washington and Ore
gon.
In a week fresh fruit of number one
quality was available in each F. u
store.
Several trips were made and every
thing going nicely. Your managers
were beginning to know your needs
and were buying accordingly.
But 10 and behold into the commun-
munity comes peddler of Gull
peaches. A man who knows nothing
of the Farmers Union except that it
must be gotten rid of at once, to make
way for the profit system.
Well, his peaches were easy to sell.
No name on them, not graded, not
weighed No thought about what the
producer might have gotten for them.
But at the same time your peaches
in your store were left to rot. Num-
Der one fruit labeled and graded. The
peddler left the community, as all of
them do, chuckling to himself You
helped him wreck thing you had
sacrificed to build.
Now strange as it seems, no ped
dler, no stranger came to your stores
and offered to absorb the loss that
naturally comes from unsold merchan-
disc and must be taken care of by
someone.
wen Vi COuTSt the oLolc al 2 JOoAS
so this loss would quite naturally be
yours too. Was it such bargain
from the stranger. | don't believe SO.
However this is just one example.
Day after day strangers come to your
home, men who have never done one
thing to help the Farmers Union.
Don't even burn Farmers Union gas
to get from house to house. Before
we patronize them let's stop and
think what 1t is doing to our own
organizations. Everytime one of these
fellow come to your home and ask
you to. buy, ask them to show you
their membership card. If they can
not, the sooner they are discouraged
from calling on you the better.
No one can help you If you are I'M
willing to help yourself.

If similar procedure were applicable
to an individual he would be able to

The exceeding Importance of dol
lars as compared to men is also illus
trated with precision and clarity in
the excess profits tax bill.
It will be recalled that the dollars
refused to go to work until the tax
bill was well outlined and until GER
tain commitments concerning its pro-
vision had been made to them.
AS the bin now stands, all 100 pages
of its exceedingly complicated Ian
guage, the wealthy corporations pay
! little. The run of the mill corpora
ton bears most of the burden.
The old established corporation
with stranglehold on the field pays
practically nothing compared to the
new and struggling corporation in the
same field.
It's a sort of seniority system IS
applied to dollars.
Senator LaFollette prog. Wis.,, in
bitter minority report on the bill.
cited an example.
Two people each invested five mil
lion dollars in separate corporations.
This year both corporations made a
million dollars. But corporation A
made a million dollars during the
years 1896 through 1889 while the av-
erage earnings of corporation DUR
ing those years were only 100000.
That was because corporation B was
a new outfit and just getting into bust
ness.
Under the excess profits tax bill
the corporation which made one mil.
lion dollars for the four years (cor-
poration AZ would not pay any tax at
all while the corporation that only av-
eraged 100000 during the four years
Corporation b would have to pay
tax of $249,00O
These taxes are figured on the basis
of allowing each corporation to choose
the lowest tax possible for, OF course,
it would be unfair to have tax bill
that wouldn't give corporations at
least one chance to beat the taxes.
II people could be dollars they
would be infinitely better off. Even
when they were unemployed they
would be guarded with tenderness and
solicitude instead of being kicked
around in the streets. And when they
raised their voices in protest they
would be listened to.

BY z. 3. COOLIDGE

On Sept. IA and Is, there was
large assemblage Of delegates iron
all over the state assembled IN Grea
Falls. The first notable occurrence
was the absence Of B. X. Wheeler
James Murray and James OConnor
and realizing that these gentlemen
had very good excuse for not 81
tending, / think the main reason wal
that they did not want to clash Will
Ayers and his gang Of machine poll
ticians.
The Ayers crowd was here In full
force and the whiskey set-up stuci

would say that this class OF individ
were really running the show behind
the scenes. Ayers gang was prac-
tically all here. First Lieut.. Billy
Rae, Bert Clements, H. R. Eickemey-
er, Butch Johnson, Dan Kennedy, Mr..
Wass, John ]. Jewell, Grover C1sel
and many more All the henchmen
and professional politicians were on
the job trying to force all representa-
tives into the Ayers camp. Tom Stout
and Jack Ayers were noticeable by
their invisibility.
Two outstanding incidents occurred
that look worthy now Of cons'dera-
ton, knowing full we'll that the trend
of the convention was to consolidate
all three camps under what Is sup
posed to be homogeneous crowd. We
do not think any compromise was
made, but we do think temporary
truce was tablished, as there are
three factions within the democratic
party which undoubtedly hate each
other like poison. First, B. K. Wheel
er and his following. Second, Ayers
and his gang Of professionals and
company supporters and lastly Jerry
O'Connell and his crowd Of followers.
None of these factions have anything
in common except to be reelected to
their own individual candidacy.
Our friend, Bailey Stortz, repre-
senting the Wheeler faction, was on
the job with a jovial smile, passively
submitting to the stampede conveE-
ton of the large number of Ayers
delegates connected with our state
liquor set-up. The facts are, that a
lot Of the delegates were unable 10
get here on account Of the expense
involved, but all the whiskey candi-
dates were here and the writer was
even sent proxy to vote at the con-
vention for Powder River county. The
whole affair appeared to be steam

Bert Clements in the background d.
recting all operations.
The daily Tribune printed the mes
sage from Senator B. K. Wheeler in
which he advised the voters to en-.
dorse the Ayers administration, but
it was very noticeable that he did not
endorse the administration himself,
which was like the minister who be-
came intoxicated and advised his con-
gregation on the following Sunday to
do as l tell you and not as | do.
Another thing that looked very pc
culiar was the fact that Art Lamey,
after taking the stand in the primary
election to tear down and point out
the inefficiency of the Ayers admin
istration, accepted pressure from some
source to again accept the nominal

PORTLAND, Ore.-(FP)-The Port
land Industrial Union council has in
structed its officers to take appropr;
ate action against 4 demand BY By Amerf.
can Legion officials for suppression
of Oregon's CLIO newspaper, The La
Dor Newdealer.
II The state legion convention adopted
a resolution calling for denial of mail
ing privileges to the Newdealer, to
The Peoples World, San Francisco
daily labor paper, and to The Daily
Worker, New York communist paper.
r The resolution was based on the
usual excuset-that the three publica-
lions "are controlled and directed by
the communist party"
The man who introduced the reso-
luton in the legion convention was
William D. (Big Boy Browne, mem
Der of Portland's nationally infamous
police red squad withdrawing de-
tail)
Browne, one of the conspirators in
the Harry Bridges deportation case,
was proved at the hearing before
Dean James M. Lands to have accept
ed at least one bride. He took lead
ing part in formation Of semi-fascist
organization, Americans Inc, three
years ago, and helped to set up a
statewide vigilante organization some
two months ago.
The red squad has for years sup
piled labor spies to employers, having
furnished the man who put over the
Standard OF frameup at Modesto,
Calf, in 1885.
What action will be taken by the
CLIO council and The Labor Newdealer
will be determined after consultation
with attorneys.

mum, will enable those who have
faithfully toiled in any occupation to

Shortly before the president spoke
to the convention. 1T adopted resolu-
ton denouncing the pending conscrip-
ton bill in vigorous terms.
Discussing CONSUMPTION the presi-
dent declared, Just so long as we con-
tinue to call upon men to train for
combat and for service behind the
lines, will we also continue to call up
on the industrial plants of the nation
for the service which they can give.
"The nation, through its elected rep
.resentatives, is now adopting the prin-
ciple of selective universal training Of
its young men. On the same princi-
pie, no reasonable person can object
to giving the government the power
to acquire the services Of any plant
or factory for adequate compensation
IL the owner refuses to make its serv-
ices available to the defense needs
of the nation"
In the event plant owner refuses
to cooperate, the president said, "the
government cannot stand by, helpless
in its efforts to arm and defend itself.
No business is above it's government
and government should be empowered
to deal adequately with any business
to deal adequately with any bushes
which tries to rise above it's govern

OBSERVATIONS AT THE RECENT
DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION

ton as state chairman as cOveruI
for the Ayers administration. We de
not see how a man of Lamey's in
tegrity could consistently do this aft
er taking the many raps that he die
at the Ayers set-up, but nevertheless
politics makes strange bedfellows and
I repeat again the animosity and total
1y different viewpoints of the Wheel
err, Ayers and O'Connell machines are
not consistent with good judgment.
1t was evident that Jerry O'Connell
was much In the limelight. Having
| injected himself back into the nom
mated ranks, he was very free with
the same crowd that purged him in
the last general election. -
Many of our local leaders and dele
gates supporting both the Wheeler
faction and the O'Connell faction were
left waiting at the gate or passed by
entirely; namely, Bert Kathan, Mr..
Perry, DR.. H. J. McGregor, Sam Spie-
gel, Mr. Strauss and others. In fact,
the whole set-up reminded one of the
bitter fight in the legislature four
years ago where both Mr.. Ayres and
Mr.. Freebourne were up for impeach-
ment. There was the same animosi-
ty between the three major machines,
and finally agreed to disagree, join
forces, bury the Ratchet temporarily,
because one side was afraid and the
other dare not.
1t is high time for the voters in the
state Of Montana to vote for the man
or woman rather than the party. The
fact is, the party name means moth
ing as we find good and bad amongst
them all, regardless of political party,
nationality or creed. The voters should
pick the wheat from the chaff and
should never vote for anyone but
should leave the space blank unless
he personally knows the candidate or
has friends who do know him with
reference to his integrity and plat
form. Personally, there are many
democratic candidates who we are
willing and glad to support Likewise,
on the republican ticket, and we also
know that the democratic or republic
an parties alone cannot elect any can
didate, but it is the Independent voter,
the man in between, who settles all
questions, so let the independent voter
come forth and purge the professional
politicians who have been handling
out state set-up for the last four
years. 1t would be well to clean our
state house and get started off with
q new regime.
AS I look back over the history Of
the state of Montana, I can see only
one organization that will compare
with the present state political Set
up, and that was Henry Plummer and
his gang; a crowd of misfits put to-
gether committing depradations at |
many points, but in the old days we |
had a vigilante committee to take |
care of this organization, but the only |
method we have of eliminating the |
present set-up is through ballot, the
main difference between the two or
CARNATIONS was that Plummer took a |
chance, but we do believe there are |
enough honest, intelligent voters to |
know what has been going on for the |
asst four years, and that they will be
willing to put stop to the continual
ion of our present set-up.

er's duty, as head of the democratic
