Back to Idaho,
Says Court

Trouble is just like a merry-go-
round az far as John Percy Flynn,
rs, is concerned. 1t keeps coming
around to him.
Sentenced in 1888 to a two-year
term at Mcneil island federal
prison. Flynn later was transferred
to a federal prison camp at Koo-
ska, Ida. He promptly attempted
escape, stole an automobile and
drove across the state line into
Washington, where he was nabbed
by police.
Returned to Mcneil island, he
recently completed his two-year
sentence-given for violation Of the
Dyer (stolen carl act-and now
will be returned to Idaho to face
charges of escape-and violation of
the Dyer act, because allegedly he
drove a stolen car over the state
line in attempting to make good
his escape.
An order authorizing his re-
moval to Idaho court from Mcneil
was signed Saturday morning by
Judge Lloyd L. Black.

PREAMBLE:

PREAMBLE:
Corporate domination of Montana, which
for years has controlled economic, political
and educational institutions and the press,
with only sporadic challenges from progress
sive groups is responsible for the depor-
able economic and social conditions of the
great majority of the people of our state.
On the basis of the preamble and the prin-
ciples stated in this platform the candidates
endorsed by the Montana Progressive Coun-
Gil pledge their efforts to the enactment of
laws which will give the people of the state
a closer control and just regulation of their
natural resources, legislation in general
which will benefit them, and laws which will
put check on dictatorial powers now being
exercised by the corporate interests and
their political puppets. In furtherance of
our efforts toward notifications of the work
ers of the state, whether farmers, industrial
or commercial laborers, unemployed, or in
dependent business and professional men,
and to unity their efforts for economic bet
terment in their common struggle against
monopolistic greed and corporate control we
submit the following program:
l. REIMBURSEMENT of the present tax struc-
ture to the end that the main burden of
taxation will fall upon those best able to
pay and so designed that there will be fair
and equitable taxes on corporations exploit
ing our natural resources, engaging in spec
ulative profit ventures, on idle wealth and
monopoly, higher income taxes in upper
brackets and lower in lower brackets, and
increased gift and inheritance taxes.
The Montana Progressive Council differ
entiates sharply between the huge monopoly
corporations and trusts and legitimate in
dependent business. The former evade
taxes, take their profits out of the state,
and do not contribute their share to the gen
eral welfare of the people. The Independent
business man lives and pays taxes in Mon
tana, employs Montana labor, buys Mon
tana products, and contributes to Montana's
prosperity. We propose to protect Montana
business, against predatory monopolies to
the end that we may have balanced pros
perity among all the people of Montana
O. Unalterable opposition to any form of
sales tax.
g. Legislation beneficial to the health and
well being of all workers to the end that
they shall receive just return for the pro-
ducts of their labor, legislation governing
hours of labor in mechanical industries.

TWO STRONG
CANDIDATES
FOR CONGRESS
BOTH HAVE RECORDS OF
SERVICE FOR THE CON-
MON PEOPLE OF THE
STATE.

Former Congressman Jerry j. O'Con-
nell from the first congressional dis
trict and the incumbent, Congressman
James F. O'Connor from the second
district are the endorsed candidates
for the democratic nomination in the
forthcoming primaries.
After finishing college O'Connell
was elected as state representative
from Silver Bow county in 1880 and
reelected in 1882. one of the youngest
men ever to hold that office in the
history of Montana. AS a legislator
he became recognized as one of the
outstanding liberal leaders in the
state. In 1894 he was elected to the
office of Railroad and Public Service
Commissioner of Montana and after
two stormy and turbulent years of
controversy with the utility and rail-
road corporations he was promoted to
the United States Congress in 1886.
Since 1888 he has been the editor
and publisher of the Montana Lib
eral," one of Montana's outstanding
liberal weeklies, and has been the
leader in initiating the 5000 pension
plan. While in congress Jerry O'Con-
nell made an outstanding record as a

We favor a return to democratic govern
ment based on the broad general principles
expressed in Article III, Section /, of the
Montana Constitution: "All political power
is vested in and derived from the people;
all government of right originates with the
people: is founded upon their will only, and
is instituted solely for the good of the
whole"
