Economy Of Abundance

Dean Walter c. Coffey, director of
the Department of Agriculture of the
University of Minnesota: americas s
problem is to adjust distribution to
the abundance of things we can pro-
duce through science and machines
so that all will have enough This
new formula must take the place of
the old recipe of work hard and
long or in lieu that, take from some
one else by theft, conquest, taxation
or exploitation"

We are old the moment we stop

It takes real heroism to make our

FACTS ABOUT CITIZENS

Many people seem to have the no
tion that naturalized citizen of the
United States can be legally deported.
Such is not the case. American
citizens, whether natural born or nat
uralized, are not subject to the immi-
grafton laws.
Notwithstanding the popular belief
to the contrary, there is really no
such thing as dual citizenship; that is,
being a citizen of two or more coun-
tries at the same time.
More than one country may claim
the same person as citizen and that
person has an option of becoming a
citizen of one country or the other.
But when he formally exercises cit
izenship and claims the protection of
government he forfeits his right to
citizenship under the other
So-called dual citizenship would
be more correctly described as "un-
decided citizenship"
''Once an Englishman, always an
Englishman," described a doctrine of
citizenship maintained by the British
until 1870.
Askov American., 1940-05-30

The United States adhered in theory
to this same doctrine of ''indelible
allegiance until 1868.

that a person born under the British
flag could not resign or lose his al

Joseph L. Meek, Rocky mountain
trapDer and hunter in the employ
Of the American Fur Co.; COM
paniOn Of Jim Bridger; one Of the
party who buried the remains of
DIR. Marcus Whitman, pioneer mis-
si0nary, and his wife, who were
killed In the Cayuse massacre;
who was the envoy sent to Wash
ingtOn to secure aid for the set
tiers of Oregon, was for many
years engaged in trapping and
hunting in central and southern
Montana between 1929 and 1870.
Meek was born in Washington
county, Virginia, in 1910, and in 1929
he went to the Rocky mountains with
Capt. William Sublette in the employ
of the American Fur Co., and was at
the trappers' rendezvous on the Papo
Argyle Cheadwaters Of the Big Horn in
July. 1929.
Smith, Kit Carson, James Bridger,
Milton Sublette. David E. Jackson, OF

In November, $780, he wandered into
the region now known as Yellowstone
park where he saw and afterwards
described the Mammoth hot springs
and some of the geysers, probably
those of Norris geyser basin.
Meek made a journey OF 300 miles
on snowshoes from the trapperS' rem
devious to the Nez Perces in the Bitter
Root valley in the winter of 1892.
Trappers' Rendezvous
In the spring of 1887, Meek, with
a party of trappers under command
of James Bridger, rendezYoused on the
North fork of the Yellowstone near
Yellowstone lake. This was probably
in what is now known as Hayden'S
valley in Yellowstone park, where the
trappers were visited by party Of
bound for oregon. Here,
also, was Capt. William Drummond
Steuart, an Englishman, who came to
the Rocky mountains to hunt at that
early period. A HudSon's Bay trader
named Ematinger was camped nearby
in the park. A party of Shawnees and
Delawares was with the trappers.
With Meek at this time was his
second wife, a Nez Perez, and their
infant daughter, Helen. The first wife
of Meek was Umentuckea, or THE
Lamb of the Mountains" a beautiful
Shoshone woman, who was killed in
1886 by hostile Bannacks. Before meet
ing Meek she had been the Indian
wife of Milton Sublette, who before
this time returned to the states.
The daughter of Meek'S second wife,
the child Helen, was at school with
DR. and Mrs. Marcus Whitman at the
Waiilatpu mission in Oregon, and per-

TAXES
CUT IN MONTANA
REDUCTION OF Ss,4s1.O HAS BEEN
MADE DURING LAST
10 YEARS
Taxpayers Association Bulletin Shows
Only County Levies for POer Funds,
City and Town and High School
Taxes Higher.

Property taxes In Montana have
been cut So, 43l 900 since 1889, the
bulletin of the Montana Taxpay-
ers association just issued, reveals.
The reduction. according to the
bulletin, is due chiefly to the
shrfnkage In state valuati@n and
the retirement of state university
bonds.
Comparing 1929-SO taxes with those
for 1939-4O, the Montana Taxpayer
said only taxes for county poor funds,
city and town taxes and high school
taxes are higher than decade ago.
The table showed state property taxes
are 1918 percent lower; taxes for
county debts are 47.04 percent lower;
taxes for other city purposes are 1887
percent lower; all county taxes are
II 43 percent lower; elementary school
taxes are BAT percent lower; all
school taxes and general taxes for
all purposes are 1886 percent lower
On the other hand. taxes for county
city and town taxes are 5.52 percent
percent higher.
Reduction in elementary school
taxes has resulted from abandonment
of a large number OF schools in the
dry areas of the state and an increase
tin said. "In 1929-30 It took 81 ,233 ISL
more taxes to pay the interest and
principal of county bonds than it win
this year. County bond debts have
been cut about so percent IN the past
10 years. County operating costs are
about the same as they were decade
ago"

"Started From A Scratch"

WENDELL WILLKIE in every speech he made ON
W his western tour said: 81 started from scratch,
apparently trying to make his listeners think that as
a young man he was as poor as Abraham Lincoln.
Anyone who has lived in the Elwood Indiana dis
trict where Wendell Willke spent his boyhood knows
he had no tough Shedding small boy.
His parents were both lawyers and rated as among
the weto-do people of Elwood forty and fifty years
ago and the Willke home in Elwood was Of that
citys best.
Wendell and his two brothers graduated from Ell
wood High School and Indiana University at Bloom
ington Boys whose parents poor could not af
ford to send them to high school in the days when
Willke was boy and college education for poor
boy in those days thing-not as easy as it
is today.
Willkie may have worked in the glass factories Of
Indiana in the wheat fields of Kansas and the to-
mato areas of California but we do not believe it was
a necessity It was of lark for both poor and
rich boys We recall the of numerous influential
Indiana families bumming rides freight trains to
Kansas wheat fields during the vacation pc
riod They went for a good time for what they
thought was quite an experience and not for the
son thevhad to help the folks back home keep the wolf
from the door.
In our opinion Wendell Willhe had more of a
hard time as young man than did his opponent,
Franklin D. Roosevelt whom Willkie keeps shouting
"was born IN wealth"
The young man who starts from scratch is the one
whose parents poor and has to quit school and go
to work before he gets grammar high school edll-
cation. Wendell Willlzie not one of those.

seemingly has been wee bit premature, a check OF

If Mcfarland is elected regardless of what happens
thereafter. Bob Jones will be governor and will have
the authority to make the appointment! This is now
it comes about Mcfarland would take the oath OF OIL
flee Jan 8. 1941, and thereby automatically vacate
his judicial post at the Florence courthouse.

Double Shuttle
Arranged For
Draft Drawing

WASHINGTON, Sept. % - The
double shuttle guarantees every
registering American that if he is
called up for the draft, it will be
done fairly and squarely
The double shuttle involves two
sets of numbers-serial numbers
and order numbers.
The local draft boards, will han
die the serial numbers. The boards
will receive from national headquar-
ters a supply Of registration cards.
The cards will be publicly number
ed l, 2, 3, ETC., and then publicly
shuffled. Supplies of these cards will
be distributed to the various local
registration places. The first man
to enroll on Oct. 16 may get any
number from l to ,000-depend-
ing on the number of cards his dis
trict requires.
On registration night, each local
board will wire the governor of the
state it's highest number, and the
governor will relay the informa-
ton to the selective service director
in Washington.
The director will then prepare
q master set Cf numbers, running
up to the highest registration num-
ber reported. These will be placed
in capsules and placed in glass
bowl for the drawing. AS each Sc
rial number is drawn, it will be-
cCnle an order number.
+ For example, the first numbers
drawn may be:
First-674.
Second-4382.
Third-46, etc.
Serial number 674 in each local
district thus would become order
No. l, and the man holding that
serial number would be the first
called.
But what about a small district?
Say one with only 100 registrants?
In that case the first number
drawn under 1O1 would become or
der No. / fer that district. In the
! example cited, the third number
draWn-46-would become order NO.
l in small district.

Profits Versus Patriotism

CONGRESS finally passed the conscrption blll,

mower effectively to take industrial plants which
fail to cooperate with the government in defense
preparations.
The last minute effort in the senate to emasculat"
this provision in the bill that manufacturers could
twiddle their fingers at the GoVernment was llu; m
tains of industry and their senatorial puppets
All big industralists not unpatriotic. Untor-
tnately they suffer in public esteem from the &C.
tions of that selfish group which is always IN the
legislative nelight.
They are the ones who have destroyed pubhc con con
fidence by repeated demonstrations that they place
profits above patriotism.

The picture of eghty-three drowning children be-

No single incident since the war began has served

Such monstrous occurrences will soidify American

the cost our country must be prepared effectively
