Governor Asserts

| INV
enough that even the governor must
know that his statements about econ
omy" and pay as you go" policy, Is
nothing but political pap with which
he hopes to fool the voters.
He is careful to state that the fund
has been balanced at the end of each
fiscal year. Just how this inexplica-
BILE miracle was accomplished in view
OF the condition of the fund month
before and a month after each of
these periods, he is probably the only
one able to make clear. How 1t could
be done at the end of three very op-
perfume times from the standpoint of
politics, and still be neck-deep In the
red at the end of each of the other
35 months of his administration, pre-
sents fiscal problem too deep for
solution by the ordinary man on the
street
One other thing strikes the ordinary
observer as pertinent. The daily
newspapers who are supposed to merit
the support of the people because of
the service they render, have never
carried one word about the condition
of the states finances, except the pub
licity reports released by administra-
ton agencies. Nor does the Montana
Taxpayers Association. an organiza-
ton subsidized by the large interests
of the state, protest against the OBJ
vious extravaganza of the state adj
ministration This organization seems
to be concerned particularly with the
amount of money spent for educational
purposes, with the implied warning
that there should be substantial reduc-
tions in such expenditures.
The fact that the corporation con-
trolled newspapers never criticize the
governor and the waste in his admin
istration and the further fact that the
Montana Taxpayers Association, an
other corporation owned agency,
makes no criticism, points to the prob
ability that the governor is too valua-
BILE to the corporations to stage any
attack upon him, no matter how well
warranted it may be.

 Dusk was settling over the empty shell of concrete when Buck and Bill were finally alone. Flo rthe past two hours Buck had been shaking hands and receiving praise. But now wild horde of rooters had gone home to replay the game over cold suppers. The streets were deserted and still as Bill walked beside Buck S invalid chair.
 Buck Mentor spoke quietly: "This is our victory, Bill. To- morrow may bring us 8 defeat. But if we hang on and keep fight ing we'll win another victory"
 Bill nodded solemnly. T guess that's right, Buck. You'll have a tough fight in the East. But I'm betting the two of us can lick al- most anything :"

Soviet Co-operotives
 Build Cotton Empire'

COTTON cultivation, pictured on - the Soviet Agricultural Fair issue above, is one of Russia's most important industries. Russia now ranks fourth among the worlds cotton producers, after United States, British India and China.
 Cotton has been grown in cen- tral Asia for more than 1000 years, but it was not until the American Civil War that large scale production was developed. Exports from southern United States practically ceased, and Russian conquests under the czars opened up vast, productive areas. Before the World War, Russia im- ported about one-fifth of the cot- ton her factories demanded.
 Production fell off in the decade following the revolution, but one of the first aims of the U. S. s. R. was to become independent of for eign cotton. In 1880 cotton im- ports from United States ceased.
 Today, the Soviet government has introduced agricultural ma- chinery, controls cotton cultivation through cooperative farms. Irri- gation adds new land. Prices are fixed and all cotton is purchased by a cotton trust.

CHAPTER XII

A moan swept East's stands as the point after touchdown failed. West received. From the 30-yard line they ran three plays, then punted.
 "No gain," Bill groaned. Buck, they'll never crack through the East line the way they're going Those guys are smart and tough It'll take plenty to score against them"
 "Itll take something they're not expecting" Buck admitted. They've felt us out now and they know what we've got. If could only give them a surprise!"
 East took the ball, failed to gain; but in the exchange of punts West lost five yards.
 Suddenly Bill snapped erect on the bench, glints of excitement in his eyes. Buck, you can give them surprise-more than one"
 A time-out for East gave Buck chance to talk. What do you mean, Bill?"
 "Those plays we taught the scrubs. Buck Remember how I ran one of them through the var sity?"
 Buck was puzzled. q still don't get you, Bill The linemen have to be familiar with the plays too. can't just send in new back field"
 That's what I mean, Buck. Take out the whole varsity! Let ;,N and those plays"
 Hope kindled in Bucks eyes, then died. "Too risky, fellow. If I remove my varsity now I can't send them in again until the next quarter. And if your plays fail, those East boys are liable to rip the scrubs to pieces"
 But the quarter is nearly half over," Bill argued. T know we can hold that long. It's our only chance, Buck"
 In silence Buck Mentor watched the rapidly shifting pattern of play. East was playing the game safe, clinging to Its slender lead. giving West n opportunity to gain.
 He said finally, Go ask the scrubs, Bill, Maybe they don't even remember those plays"
 Etll leaped from the bench with a shout. The scrubs, huddled like Indian braves in their blankets, stared at him curiously.
 What gives, Bill?' one of them asked.
 Plenty" Bill said tightly. How many of you fellows remember those plays we learned from Buck?"
 Bills excitement was conta- gious. They swarmed about him, wild-eyed. We haven't forgotten one of them, Bill. Honest! Two
