Red Tape BOthers0n,e
So BOzeman Couple
Get Married Again

One OF the things Mr.. and Mrs
Lyle Henry Shaver of Bozeman have
learned is that you simply can't cut
the federal governments red tape
So they had to get married all over
again.
Mrs. Shaver was born in Switzer-
land, but became a naturalized citizen
before her marriage. Recently, she de-
cided to have her naturalization papers
changed to her married name The
government fatty said no" She
hadn't, the government said, given
her full name to the marriage license
clerk in Dubuque, Ia. where she ami
Shaver married, so how could the gov
eminent tell if she was the same
woman?
So the simplest way out seemed to
be another marriage. Mr.. and Mrs
Shaver got a new license-thLS time
giving Mrs. Shaver'S full maiden name
and were remarked. They hope the
government will be satisfied

Former Classmates
In 1896 Meet Again
At Falls Contention

State Senator William Taper of
Lincoln county, Idaho. arrived in
Great Falls to attend the convention
of the National Reclamation associ-
alton. He was delayed, however, in
reaching the session because he en-
countered Postmaster Pete Snelson.
The two were classmates in the phar-
macy department of the University of
Iowa, where they graduated with the
other since that time.
Both Taper and Snelson had much
to tell. They reminisced. They went
through once more, play by play,
football game in which they particl-
pated in the fall of 1895 when the
senior pharmacy class team defeated
the competition being that the phar-
macy team was organized from a class
of 10 persons. one of whom was a girl.
The freshmen medics team was or
ganized from a class of more than 80.
Every man in the pharmacy class
was in uniform. The girl led the cheer
ing for her fellow classmen. Admis-
sion was free. There was no compe-
tttion in recreation on that day and
the whole student body of the univer-
sity attended. When it became known
that the pharmacy class of 10 was
pitting all its manpower against the
larger medical class, the whole uni
versity with the exception Of the
medical department students fell in
behind the lone girl cheer leader.
Senator Taper is now a prominent
irrigation farmer of Richfield, Idaho,
where he has lived for the past 81
years.

lions in this new oil and gas field, but
with the loss of the Canadian market
for his oil. it threw a different light on
his oil business. This was an incentive
for the building of the Northwest Re
filming company plant just west of Cut
Bank. This is one of the most modern
plants in the country.
Northwest Refining company and
George McCabe, who was at one time
merchant at Browning, is vice pres
ident of this wide awake concern. A
new company was organized to take
over the oil and gas interests of the
Montana Power company and was
named the Glacier Production COM
tinery east from Cut Bank for the
purpose of refining their own crude
oil and also for the Socony-Vacuum
Oil company. The Glacier Production
company also furnishes crude oil for
q Spokane refinery.
Cut Bank is now a rival with Shelby
in population on account of all this
refinery building. but she is otherwise
a friendly neighbor. All the oil field
towns have the same interests at heart
and will continue to grow as one large
community as our Montana oil fields
are developed
Future Development
This oil territory ana the town with
in its borders are just in their infancy
compared to what the future holds in
store. Who of us knows what lies il
store beneath the great Madison lime
that underlieS this vast empire. Is it
not possible to see gushers of the mag
nitude of those in Oklahoma, Texas.

depth is reached in the right loca-

When this time comes. and it can't
be far off, Great Falls will become an

Cut Bank Deyelops
Il was not long before oil prospectors
were drilling on all sides of Cut Bank,
even on town lots. Soon this town
woke and shed its swaddling clothes.

Gordon Campbell who is credited as
the discoverer of oil in Montana is the
man that started all this activity in

beautiful shaft was erected by public

INDISPENSIBILITY
IN AMERICAN LIFE
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

The theory back of the Roosevelt cam
paign for third term is based entirely
upon his indispenSability That was the
idea back of Roosevelt's radio address
after the nomination of Wallace He
would accept because in this hour no one
should Shun a responsibility : and, of
course, there was no other Democrat fit
for the job.
1t is interesting to look back 8 years
and see what was Roosevelts view on in
Gispensability in 1882 He said then:
The genius of America is stronger than any
candidate any party This campaign hard
it has been, has not shattered my sense of humor
my of proportion. 1 still know that the
fate of America cannot depend any nan.
The greatness of America is grounded prin-
ciples and not any single personality.
That statement, made at Madison
Square Garden on the eve of the 1882
election, was true then and it is true now.
The genius of America would carry on
with any normal American at the helm,
and it is important that this be demon
strated again, rather than forsake it for
the theory that we, like other nations we
could mention must rely upon someone
with fancied superiority of powers, an,
who, himself, admits that superiority.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-10-07
PUTTING IMPERIAL COUNTY
COURTS ON THE SPOT

We are glad Superior Judge Vaughn
N. Thompson denied an injunction Sat
urday that would have barred the Com
nunist party from the November ballot
in California.
We believe the action of the Sixth Col
umnists, lnc in bringing the last-mlnute
injunction suit before the Imperial coun-
ty Judge was an imposition upon the
machinery of justice. 1t came mighty
near being a slander against the courts
character.
We say these things, who would like to
see every Communist in the United States
packed up and sent post haste to Moscow,
never to return. Anyone who has read
this column at all consistently knows
that we view Communism in the same
light as treason.
But then we only share the admitted
views of Judge Thompson, who is as
stern an enemy of Communism as any
man we know. In his words and his ac-
tions, he has for many years been NOV
ing force in opposition to the radical doc
trines that have their headquarters in an
alien land.
The Judges known views made it all
the more of an imposition that any group,
no matter how worthy its motives, should
bring case to him after two other courts
of similar jurisdiction had already denied
their pleas. 1t was as if they had said
Maybe these other courts did rule ac
cordng to the law as they saw it-but
we know how you feel personally, so we
thought perhaps you would let your per-
sonal feelings guide your judicial deci-
sion"'
That is why we are glad Judge Thomp-
son denied the injunction.
Had he not done so, we would have lost
faith in him as judge, even though we
have believed his motives, from a per-
sonal standpoint, to be entirely worthy
ones.

SMALL TOWN INDUSTRIES
Science Monitor)

(ChriStian Science MOnitor)
Wendell Willkie showed his thorough
understanding of the situation in thou
sands of small communities throughout
the United States when, at Des Mones,
he spoke of the benefits to be gained
from decentralization of industry in the
United States.
By this the Republican candidate for
the Presidency did not mean that all
great industries in or adjacent to the
various big cities should be broken up
and scattered. Obviously this is impos-
sible in many instances, and even if pos
sible would not be expedient. Accessible
ity 10 markets or to raw materials still
is primary consideration.
Still, there are thousands of struggling
small industries in big cities which, given
an opportunity to retain present markets,
could greatly benefit both themselves and
the communities by moving to small
towns. Taxes are usually lower and costs
Of living likely to be smaller.

WE FORGET The PAST

A lot of lessons can be learned from
the things that have happened. The rea-
son we don't act more wisely lot of
times is because we've forgotten what
happened a year ago, or two years ago,
or longer But that cannot be helped.
The human mind is not equipped to store
every bit of information that comes
along so that it will be readily available
when it is needed.
But we can judge the future in the
light of the past, and act accordingly.
Right now, for instance, we can ask our
selves: Are we being headed for war;"
And, while we cannot find the answer in
the past still we can find lot of food
for thought there
Secretary of Navy Frank Knox said
at Washington Saturday that the United
States is facing "an hour of decision,
an hour of test" He all but declared that
war with Japan may be a matter of
weeks.
New Dealers told the nation less than
three months ago that sudden emergen-
cy, which had just then developed, made
necessary a bill to draft the young men
of the nation for army service.
It was on Sept. %, 1939-more than
year ago = that newspaper reporters
heard rumors in Washington that the war
department was preparing a draft bill
for the United States. They asked Presi-
dent Roosevelt about it. He didn't say
yes He didn't say no.
He said: eve are not in the war and
/ do not think we are going into the war
and therefore / do not think the matter
is one of public interest"
If the draft was not considered of pub
lie interest when it was planned a year
before anyone outside the government
knew of it, can it be that the matter of
war for the United States is now thought
not to be Of pubic interest? s4;
