EXTENSION OF
DIES c0MMI TTEE

NEW YORK. K.-(FP)-That the Dies
committee "has itself shown that
there is no need for it's further con-
tinuation' is a chief conclusion of an
exhaustive report released January Is
by the American Civil Liberties I'm
ion.
The 5,O00-word memorandum is an
appraisal of the Dies committees
work based on a reading of the en-
tire record and all documents. 1t was
prepared by a special committee of
the A. c. L. u, headed by Raymond
L. Wise, member of the board of
directors and a former assistant u.
S. district attorney in New York.
Characterizing the latest report of
the Dies committee as more tenn
perate in tone and in striking con-
trast to the "alarmist statements of
Chairman Dies himself" the civil lib
critics union contends that the injury
done to persons and organizations
through the publicizing of unfounded
charges against them cannot be OBJ

State Conference
Scheduled, Youth
Unemployment

National Youth Administrator Au.
brey Williams will personally conduct
meeting of Montana business, educa-
ton, labor, and religious leaders and
Montana youths in Helena, January
%, for the purpose of reviewing youth
unemployment problems in the state,
]. B. Love, state youth administrator,
has announced.
Arrangements for the statewide
conference, at which youth represent
atives will present their own prob
lens, are being made by Miss Helen
Fuller, administrative assistant to Au-
brey Williams, who arrived in Butte
by plane Tuesday.
"The meeting will be patterned aft
er the national conference held in
Washington, D. c., December 13 and
IA, at which such leaders as Henry l..
Hartman and Charles w. Taussig
met with business, educational, farm
er, and labor leaders at the call of
Federal Security Administrator Paul
V. McNutt," Miss Fuller said. "The
conference will be informal and unre-
is to review and discuss the youth
unemployment situation in Montana
and consider possible practical steps
toward solutions
Aubrey Williams will preside dur
ing a full days session of discussions
with the youth representatives and
adult leaders, Mr.. Love added. The
discussions will probably center close
ly around the problem of placing
youths in private employment, he said,
but careful attention will also be
given to the matter of training and
educational programs for underprivi-
legged youths. The task of the confer
ence will be to show in clear outline
the true magnitude of youth problems
in Montana, and what must be done
to solve them.

shows that this company makes on an
average, $249 net profit, on every
ton of beets purchased from the farm
er. While the actual profit per ton
figure of the companies operating In
Montana are not available at this time,
it may reasonably be assumed that
il is not less than the amount made
by the company in Colorado. Know
ing the profit per ton made by the
professors, the beet grower can easily
figure the amount of profit the COM
pany makes per acre of his produc-
tion.
Colorado To Start
A movement is already under way
by the sugar beet growers Of Colo
RADIO to quit producing at loss for
the Great Western Sugar Company,
and to start their own processing
plant comparatively. In this plan,
labor and the consuming public should
all be equally interested with the
grower of sugar beets.
Cash Investment
The engineers analysis shows that
the total amount OF cash PAID Dy pur-
chasers of the common stock of the
company since it was organized
amounts to only $28,520, but up to
1888, the staggering sum of $4,428,-
4S0 had been paid as a common stock
dividend
The sum of $8,973,000 is reported
as issued in the form of common
stock for property purchased by the
company, but offsetting this, together
with all additions to its plant, real
estate and equipment which in 1888
had total reported value of $43, ,443,-
6O9, it had a reserve set aside for de-
probation of $21,764,815 and surplus
of $24,916,6O6. In addition to the un-
considerable profits shown by these
figures, the company in 1888 trans
ferred to the Cache La Poudre Com
pany, the sum of $9,000,000, represent
ing a part of the earned surplus. This
company was liquidated in 1885, and

FARMERS C0-0PS
GROWING FAST
SAYS BLACK

The cooperative movement among
farmers of the United States will con-
tinue to develop and there will be no
slackening or reversing the direction
in which 1t is going, Acting Governor
A. G. Black told a group of co-opera-
tive workers in annual meeting here
today. The 10000 and more co-opera-
tives now doing business may in
crease or decrease in number, but the
cooperative movement itself through
an experience of 20 years or more
has had sufficient experience to as
sure continuation in the right direc-
tion and refinement of its processes.
Mr.. Black said the field for nation
wide co-operatives is still an open
question, that some leaders in this
field doubt whether cooperative ac-
tivities can be successful on a nation
wide basis at this time while others
think that there may be place for
nationwide co-operatives, but that
they must be organized and operated
on somewhat different basis than
some of those that have been tried
in the past.
"The cooperative movement has
been refined in the fires of 90 years
of activities" said Mr.. Black. Co
operatives have made place for
themselves and they did this in the
early years at least against the un-
relenting opposition of private bust
ness"
Mr.. Black urged that manager, Off
GERS and directors of farmer coop
eratives keep themselves tuned to the
changing times and be ready to ad-
just their operations with changes as
they come along.

SUPREME COURT SAYS OFFICE
HOLDER VACATES OFFICE BY
FILING FOR ANOTHER OFFICE

/ held that filing for one office while
the incumbent of another constitutes
in effect, voluntary abandonment
Associate Justice Erickson's dis.
senting opinion agrees with the ma
jority in finding that Mulholland is
still senator from Silver Bow county,
though he filed for the office of mayor
of Butte last spring.
The dissenting opinion however,
contends that the filing for another
office while holding one, because the
law passed in 1887 provides that he
shall resign "and in the event of the
failure so to resign said office the
same shall ipso facto become wholly
vacant and unoccupied." This, the
dissenting opinion claims, shows that
the legislature did not contemplate the
filing for the second office as volun-
tary abandonment of the first; that
the legislature contemplated that the
filing for the second office would ter
inmate his tenure of the office held;
that on his filing for the second, he
would be removed from the office he
held at the time.
The dissenting opinion of Justice
Erickson holds that the constitution
definitely fixes the term for which
Mulholland could hold the office of
state senator if he did not resign or
abandon it, If he performed the duties
of the office and was not guilty of
certain specified offenses for which
he might be removed Authoritative
works on the constitution, generally
accepted by students Of law, states:

Chatter
By JAKE

That editor of yours has had this
picture shown above for quite a while
he tells me, but never could figure
out just what it was made for. 1t
took my keen intelligence to show him
the other day so he let me have it
for my column as I'm about the only
one on the staff that knows how to
discuss educational projects.
Most of you read a week or so ago
what Boedecker said was going to
happen to guys that drive when drunk.
OF course, |, personally thought he
was just little bit severe, and I've
been walking ever since. But / can't
criticize him for doing his job and

pose of this literary effort
What l want to call to the atten-
tion of the people is the splendid,
thoughtful and long time planning that

Boedecker must have been forming
his plans for your safeguarding from
drunken drivers as far back as 1898
when he parked his car like the pic
ture above shows.
That editor of yours is inclined to
be a little evil-minded. Il hope he
doesn't read proof on this) Maybe
you're right, Editor He thought for
a while that it might show that Boe-
decker had been stepping out and had
parked little carelessly. But of
course, even he must realize the in
justice of thinking that now.
It's as clear as mud to me now,
after this edict of Boedeckers about
drunken drivers. He must have been
working out the details of what to do
in all emergencies in connection with
those guys as far back as 1888 when
this picture was made. He probably
made it while he was holding school
for the patrolmen, and was demon
how to park so that he could
take out after one of the stews with
out lot of time wasted in wiggling

WAGE-H0UR LAW
ENFORCEABLE
SAYS REPORT

Observation-Disclosures
during it's first year of operation
shows that the wage-hours act is en-
forceable, that it has increased the
wage rate of thousands of workers in
each Of the industrial states, and that
| it has won every court test on it's
constitutionality to date, the wage
I hours division informed congress here
in it's first annual report.
The report outlined the divisions
activities up to December 81, 1899.
Outstanding among the facts reported
are:
1. The act has recently been held
constitutional in separate actions by
four federal judges. 1t has suffered
no setbacks on this score.
2. The wage-bours division will have
700 inspectors in the field by the end
of June. "Such staff" the report
says, should make it possible to do
an effective enforcement job"
8. On an annual basis this would
require an appropriation of about ST.
100000. (The President asked con-
gress for $6,185,000.)
4. In 139 legal actions begun by
the division and by the Department
of Justice, enforcement of the wage
hours law has encountered only two
setbacks in court. A third court de-
feat occurred III an action in which
the division was the defendant.
5. In every one of the Department
of Justices 81 criminal actions which
have been completed, the prosecution
has been successful. In each instance
the defendants have pleaded guilty.
Fines totaled $247,850 Payment of
$132,350 of this was suspended con-
ditional on full restitution by the en-
ployers to employees of wages Illegal
ly withheld Twenty-six cases are
pending.
6. More than $1,O0O,OOO in back pay
ments has been agreed upon for more
than $4,000 workers. OF this more
than $250,000 already has been paid.
Z. Now that the divisions activities
have been decentralized into Is re-
gions, interest of wage earners in OBJ
tanning relief through the law is at
a peak. More than 1000 complaints

IT'S CHEAPER TO die
The COOP WAY

WAUSAU, Wis.-(FP)-Members Of
co-operatives in the central part OF
the state of Wisconsin have solved
the high cost of dying, N. X. Nielsen
reports in The Progressive. The
Central Wisconsin Cooperative Burial
Assn, organized three years ago, now
has 917 live members and is driving
toward a goal of 5000.
A membership fee of s5 entities the
member and his family to the benefits
of the association. This amount is
deducted from the charge which the
first funeral is held in the family.
No funeral can cost more than $225
and many are provided at the basic
cost Of 500. The average cost for
the past year was s158; the lowest
was s85. The association has its own
modern funeral home and full-time
