current rumor during the campaign
that levies were made on their salaries
for membership in a club, variously
reported as 1.-TWO percent club" and
"Ten percent club" 1t may be that
some of those listed as contributors
would be surprised, since it is posi-
BILE that state employees contributions
were listed under the names of others.
However, we find the names of such
sterling patriots and unselfish citizens
as George Cooney and Tom Alley of
Helena among the contributors listed.
These two gentlemen are reputedly
the gambling czars of the Capital City,
and their open-handed contributions
seem to be conclusive evidence that
they considered Ayers the ideal exec

.LaFollette Wins
.WDL Award for
Service to Labor

Senator Robert NJ La Toilette, Jr.,
to whom was voted the Workers De-
Tense Leagues first annual award "for
distinguished service in behalf Of la
boris rights" will formally accept at
dinner in his honor in New York late
in January or early in February.
The plaque of honor will be pre-
scented specifically for his work as
chairman of the subcommittee on Vic
lations of Free Speech and the Rights
of Labor of the senate committee on
education and labor. The subcommit-
tees hearing, held in pursuance of
senate resolution 266, unfolded de-
tailed story of industrial espionage
and the use of industrial munitions
against legitimate labor activities by
many important and reputable" firms
throughout the United States.
At the dinner, Senator La Toilette
will be honored by Representatives of
many labor unions, CLIO, AFL, and I'M
affiliated, and by liberals.
The award by the WDL national
executive board of the Workers De-
Tense League served to open its Roll
Call for Labor's Rights" campaign.
1.-THE board felt, unanimously, that
your courageous and unfaltering work
as chairman of the subcommittee was
milestone on the rough and often
violent road hewn out by American
workers in defense of their rights and
the well-being of the national econ
omy," Sec.-Treas Clendenin wrote La
Toilette in announcing the initiation
of this signal award.
I'VE believe that the volumes con-
tanning the hearings before your sub
committee will serve not only as a
permanent and shameful index of the
firms, groups and organizations en-
gagged in fighting labor and of their
methods and activities, but also as an
indication of what can be done in the
interests of labor and of good citizen
ship by faithful public servant. Your
acceptance of the 1910 award will help
inspire new faith in the democratic
process as exemplified in an outstand-
ing citizen

the Hour" December 10, declared that
''the development of co-operatives is
o concrete program of education to
train people in the daily work of de-
mocracy" The joint conference was
made up of delegates from the Fed
eral Council of Churches, the Home
Missions Council, Council of Women
for Home Missions, Foreign Missions
Conference of North America, Mis-
sionary Education Movement, National
Council of Church Women and the
United Stewardship Council.
A special announcement on coop
eratives adopted by the Seminar on
the Church and Social Change of the
joint conference described the coop
erative movement as zone of the most
purely democratic means of economic
ard social adjustment which has been
developed on our national and inter-
national scene" 1t pointed out that
Gin hundreds of communities where
tho church and religious forces have
promoted the cooperative movement
the results have been the remaking
of the life of the church"
The report of the Church and Co.
operatives, which the entire confer
ence later referred to the confering or
CARNATIONS and the churches for study
(the conference had no power to act
for its organizations urged specific
action on the part of the rural church,
the city church, youth and adult Chris
tian movements and the mission
church in the promotion of co-opera-
tives as an instrument of Christian
social change. Speaking specifically
of the role of the mission church the
report declared, For years medicine,
agriculture and education have been
part of the missionary program. 1t is
now time that there be added to this
list a social and economic program
based on the cooperative ideal which
will help so greatly to solve the CON
ditions which make the other pro
grams necessary"

"As l have studied and listened to
the stories of the quiet, steady, sub
stantial growth of cooperative asso-
Citations among the consumers and
farmers of America" Congressman
Voorhis continued, Il become more
and more convinced that here is the
thing that can, to very great extent
answer the need we find in our coun-
try today. For the interest of the
people as consumers is a universal in
terest-the one universal and there
fore unifying economic interest in all
modern life"
The congressman then told how CO.
operatives have broken the power of
great monopolies without subsidy or
government aid and how farmers have
become owners of their own factories
by cooperative effort. Il hope that
through this story, the workers in the
cities will be inspired to take the road
to ownership and freedom, inspired to
be masters of their own destiny"

around unless they're thirsty.

they just supply the stuff I'll make
those legislators see visions and speak
in unknown tongues. And I'll fix

for it any advantage
It'll probably be a pretty busy place.
understand that it always is. There's
bunch of these guys elected all the
time because they tell the folks back
home that they want to pass laws
that'll help them and some of them
even go so far that if they think the
folks will like it, they tell them they'll
raise hob with this Butte outfit Most
of them though, when they get down
here and these slick guys of the Butte
outfit, make them feel that they are
real big shots begin to believe it and
that the folks back home just don't
know what's good for them And of
course these fellows in the legislature
are pretty potent guys too. The out
fit usually keeps bunch of pretty
gals around to tell them about it.
Well it makes them feel pretty good
and friendly and then when they got
up to the free laughing water joint,
few jolts of blue ruin kind of softens
them up so the outfit can work on
them right and make them remember
they're in Helena now and not behind
the plow; make them realize that they
have to do things in big way for
big outfits and that the Lord always
looks after the poor folks.
Well give me the materials and |
can hand them out. I'll mix them
stuff thatll make them feel that
they've never been understood before
and that the only ones that have the
right angle are the guys in this big
outfit and that these jaspers are the
only ones that know the score. And,
of course, that's right too. If it wasn't
for the big outfits, where'd this state
be? These gimmicks out on the farms
and the buns working in the towns
how could they run it?
One thing, this outfit can hire me
pretty cheap. l might write my col
umn too and make two salaries, be-
cause that cadaverous editor is kind
of interested in this swill joint too
and | could just as well combine both
businesses and help the outfit and get
the dope for the stories.
I'm going to work pretty cheap too
for the outfit, because my expenses
will be reduced a lot. l won't eat
much and l can sleep under the table.
Along with the legislators.

Bv L.EvERNE HAMILTON

For 10 long weary years we have
waited for the return of that elusive
jade, prosperity, from around that
corner whence she seemed to have
gone into permanent retirement. so
cialist, left-wingers and administration
critics have insisted that New Deal
programs could not entice her from
her lair, but at last New Dealers are
vindicated and their critics COMPOUNDED
by the recently announced proposal
of President Roosevelt to LEND ships,
airplanes, munitions and war materi-
ais to Great Britain, taking mort
gage on this equipment with the I'M
derstanding that the equipment is to
be returned to the United States
when Great Britain is through with 1t.
At first glance this proposal would
not appear to have any bearing on our
national prosperity but when exam
ined in all of its ramifications it will
be seen to have infinite possibilities.
In the first place we intend as
nation to take the dollar sign en-
tirely out of our relations with Great
Britain partly for the reason that we
would not relish the appellation I'm
Gle Shylock" which might possibly be
applied to us if we continue to deal
with Great Britain on a sordid dollar
and cents basis, and secondly we are
so willing nay even anxious to do
our part" in this second war "for
the preservation of democracy" that
we will make no conditions as to the
date of return of the loaned equip
ment nor its condition WHEN it is
returned.
Now since that one-third of our
population which has been 'ill-clothed,
ill-housed, and ill-fed" will wonder
what bearing this proposal will have
upon our national prosperity and in
what manner it will alleviate their
distressed condition we must explain
that if the LENDING proposal is good
business as between nations it would
be equally sound business if adopted
locally, and since some fifty million
voters apparently believed on Novem-
Der 9TH that Franklin D. Roosevelt
was the only candidate qualified to
conduct the business of the nation, it
stands to reason that a majority of
our nations business men will be only
too willing to follow his leadership
and adopt similar method in the
conduct of their own local business.

BLUE JAYS"
Raped BY FTC

Kendall company, with headquarters
in Boston, and operating a manufac-
turing division in Chicago under the
trade name Bauer and Black, has been
ordered by the federal trade commits
sio to cease and desist from certain
representations concerning it's prod
ucts, sold under the brand name Blue
jay" and consisting of blue Jay Corn
Plaster" blue Jay Bunion and Callus
Plasters," and "Blue Jay Liquid Corn
Remover"
The commission finds that the re-
spondent's products do not constitute
cure for corns, calluses and bunions,
since such growths will return after
temporary removal unless the pres
sure and irritation which caused them
in the first instance is eliminated.
The respondent refers to the cone
like apex of corns as root and
represents that it's products will re-
move corns roots and all" The find
ings declare that in fact, this part
of the corn is not root" in the or
binary meaning of the term and is
actually the part of the corn which
is formed last. Furthermore, treat
ment with the respondents products
cannot always be relied upon to re-
move entirely the eone-like portions
of corns which project into the der
mis-.
TIL erespondent is ordered to cease
and desist from representing that
corns have a root or roots; that the
respondents products will prevent the
formation or recurrence of corns or
calluses; that any of the respondents
products constitute a new treatment
for corns, calluses or bunions; and
that the respondents products will in
stantly stop the pain caused by corns

are all working on their budgets for
the coming biennium and will submit
their requests for funds or desired
changes in the laws covering their de-
partments to the Legislature for APP
propriate action Yet all this does not
constitute a major legislative pro-
gram.
Next many private groups such as
the truckers association, liquor deal
ers association, merchants associa-
tions, farm organizations, labor I'M
ions, chambers of commerce, mining
associations, sportsmen's associations,
firemen, teachers, printers organiza-
tions and a host of others have all
met and through their legislative COM
mittees will make recommendations
to the legislature covering problems
peculiar to their vocations or inter-
ests. While many valuable recon-
mendations will come from these
groups nevertheless it will still not
comprise major legislative program.
1t is only natural therefore, that
through the maze of diverse requests
and suggestions for legislative action,
the law makers themselves must turn
to someone for leadership to aid them
in enacting the proper type of pro-
gram compatible with the best in
terests of the state.
The legislators have no one to look
to for leadership except the official
head of the state, or our governor
Sometime then during the first few
days of the session he will either adj
dress the joint assembly or send them
a message advising them of the con-
ditions of their state government and
making specific recommendation for
necessary legislative action which will
be in the interest of all the people
of the state.
These recommendations submitted
by the governor in his message will
of course cover all phases of our
state government and it is these rec
concentrations offered to the legisla-
tive body which will constitute our
major legislative program for Mon
tanas twenty-eighth session.

The 'ill-clothed and ill-housed" be-
ing thus easily taken care of, the
'ill-fed" may then proceed to their
local grocery, order five hundred dol
lars worth of groceries giving the
gocer a mortgage for that amount and
agree to return the groceries when
through with them.
This proposal will be readily seen
to be one of the greatest business
stimulators the world has yet known
Just think of it. No punch boards,
trade stimulators, high pressure sales
talk, no soap opera, radio or news
paper advertising. What a boon for
the struggling merchant who now
spends most of his time complaining
about chow dull business is" and his
slow turnover. Within 10 days after
such a program adopted every law
yers clerk in the United States will
have worn out at least two typewriters
making out mortgages, printshops
will have exhausted their supply of
mortgage blanks and have to operate
twenty-four hour shift to keep pace
with the demand, every available
home will have been sold, every avail
able carpenter will be employed and
apprentices will be in demand to keep
up with the new construction required
and every grocer in the United States
will require the services of at least
two shoemakers to keep his clerks
shoes half-soled.
OF course there will be no guaran-
tee as to the condition of the homes,
clothing or groceries when returned,
especially the clothing and groceries,
but why bubble about such minor de-
tails we must avoid these sordid dol
lar and cents matters in dealing with
Great Britain and why should we be
any less lenient with our customers
closer home?
Naturally there will be some objec-
lions to a program of this scope and
immensely. That is to be expected.
There never was proposal as bene-
ficial to the nation yet made which
did not meet with bitter opposition
from the tories, radicals, and peren-
NAL "aginers" who seem determined
to oppose all progress. However we
need not let this opposition give us
cause for worry. Whenever we meet
an individual so benighted as to voice
opposition to this program all we need
do is brand him as fifth columnist"
and sick the FIJI on to him and his
goose will be effectually and perma-
nently cooked.
Every Willkie-ite, tory, and radical
in the United States should feel deeply
apologize for their criticism of Roose-
welt and the New Deal in the recent
campaign. Here we have been criti-
Ching the past administration for in
competence and now the president
comes forward with a proposal of this
kind which will bring about the great
est stimulation of business and indus
try that the world has ever seen. We
of the opposition are now willing to
confess that we have seen the error
of our ways and we are all ready to
take part in the concerted rush for
the groceries.
