Emperor at his summer palace at
Hayama, southwest of Toxic, and. as
usual in such circumstances. received
an imperial command to remain in
office until another government is
organized.
The Emperor and Empress ar
ranged to return promptly to Toxic.
Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsu-
Okla. who was influential in involving
Japan in the two major pacts which
now are keystones of her policy-the
Axis alignment and Soviet neutrality
treaty-was among those who went
out.
Still i'll in bed. Matsuoka was not
present at an emergency meeting of
the resigned ministers. but submitted
his resignation to Prince Konoye
earlier.
The resignation came exactly a
year after Prince Konove was in
trusted with forma ton of govern
ment which was to deal with grave
issues arising from the war in
Europe. especially the German con-
quests of France and the LoWlands
The Konoye cabinet was formally
inducted on July Is. 1910, two days

out lengthy but unsuccessful ne

attempted to do by recognizing the

In domestic policy it had sought to
impose more and more totalitarian

line political parties, curtailing the
powers of Parliament, promoting
vigorously the regimentatio and

the national economy.

SOIL DEMANDS
GOOD FERTILIZER

Even though they do not have fer
t;li1sr attachments for their planters.
potato growers can still apply fertilizers
successfully. says F. NJ. Harrington,
horticulturist for the agricultural eN-
pertinent station at Montana State
college.
Repeated experiments have demon
strated conclusively. he said. that the
addition OF treble superphoSphate and
ammoniated phosphate is valuable.
However, these fertilizers must be ap-
Piled beneath the surface of the soil
because shallow surface applications
have proved unsatisfactory.
When the fertilizer attachment is
used on the planter. the fertilizer is
placed in bands on both sides OF the
seed piece and is applied deeply within
the soil at planting time. This deep
application can be accomplished with
out the attachment by broadcasting
or drilling the fertilizer on the surface
and then blowing It under TO a depth
Of about five inches. Applying the fer
tilizer by this method viii bring an
effective response.

range land in the Genevieve COM
munity The fire was the first this
year in that community. which had
several bad grass fires last season.
Ole Swalheim. Genevieve farmer, had
put the torch TO field of tall wheat
Stubble before blowing it, believing a
fire guard around the field would pro-
tect adjoining range land. Wind sent
the flames into the tall grass.
Swalheim almost got the fire under
control, when wind again famed the
flames. He then put in an alarm to
neishbors and to the people Of Hins-
dale. Nearly GO men rushed to the
scene, bringing fire fighting drags and
other equipment. After a struggle last
ing about four hours, they finally
brought the blaze under control.
Smoke and leaping flames were visi-

an area about three-quarterS of a

the state would buy directly from the
distilleries, most of us smiled. We were

up an opportunity to fill the state
with well paid liquor representatives
who san also campaign a little on

to deny the state this outside money
Well, let us say 1t is poor politics, in
fact we can declare 1t anything We
wish because after all it is fact.
Every dtstillery that wishes to sell
its product to the state OF Montana
must first sign an agreement that it
will not pay brokers statesmen or any
other kind of representative in Mon
tana salary or commission or enter
into any kind Of a secret deal with
statesmen. representatives or brokers.
The agreement absolutely wipes out
paid liquor representatives in Montana.
Incidentally 1t also wipes out the old
battle to become such a representative

TAKE RELIEF
OUT OF POLITICS

Among the most important legislatiV
considerations at Sacramento this week
IS the proposal TO return administration
OF relief TO the counties, taking it out of
the hands of state officials.
Whether relief should be administered
by the counties is matter to be decided
by the legislators and the state super
visogs association. but their decision
shoutd be based ON the quite apparent
need for taking relief out of politics.
Practically every county in tfa state has
seen the bad effects of politics appoint
ments and political maneuver e in the
administration of relief. Sometimes It
has seemed that votes. and not humanity,
has been the principal consideration in
the handling Of relief by state officials.
Unfortunately there can be no guaran-
tee that every county or relief district
will be as ably administered under state
officials as the Imperial county SRA unit
has been since Ned Holmes became diree-
tor. Even now, with this county newly
placed in a district administered from
San Diego, there can be no assurance
that We will not again be thrown into the
maelstrom of relief politics.
1t would be unfair TO criticize state
relief in general without recognizing that
we have had not one iota Of trouble IN
Imperial county since Holmes became
director. We regard il as unfortunate IN
fact, that he was not made director Of
the newly created district in which this
county is joined to several others.
Holmes has done the best Job of ad-
ministering relief of any person ever as
signed to this county for that purpose.
Under his direction the rolls have been
reduced to an absolute minimum. He
has shown no favoritism, he has played
no politics-he has done bang-up exec
utive job, and for it deserves all the
praise that can be heaped upon him.
But every relief district is not admin
istered by man like Holmes, so the
statewide problem remains.

We Are All on Trial

1t is not too much TO say that
To-Day every human institution as
we have known it is on trial for its
life.
We're not being panicky or rad
ieal when we say that, for it is only
an extension of remarks made be-
lore the eastern regional confer
ence of the American Bankers AS
soclation by ABA President p. D.
Houston. Said he:
We live in q dynamic world in
which no institution has a right to
public support or can continue in
business for long unless it renders
constructive service designed TO
meet the changing conditions of a
dynamic society. That is the basic
challenge of the social and eco
nomic order"
The naked fact that such n state
ment can be made by a leading
banker to bankers is startling eyi-
dence, in itself. OF how dynamic
the world has become. Such state
ments were not being made by
bankers to bankers in 1925 BY an
odd chance, almost at the same
moment, President w. NJ. Martin
of the New York Stock Exchange,
paused on his way to enter the
army to tell members of the ex-
change almost exactly the same
thing-that their institution will
die unless it adjusts itself to the
times.
