UNEMPL 0YMENT
PAYMENTS hit
Low MARK

The week ending October 13 was
not only the low point in the year,
but in the history of payments in
Montana of unemployment compensa-
ton claims, announced Barclay Craig
head, chairman of the Montana I'm
employment Compensation Commits
sion. In that week the total amount
paid in Montana was 1929, the low
est amount paid in any week since
July 1889, when payments began.
Since October 10 payments have in
creased slightly, being $13,544 for the
week ending October 20; $15,423 for
the week ending October 81; and
S15,131 for the week ending Novem-
Der 3. This amount is not quite half
what was paid in corresponding weeks
in 1889 and 1910.
Total claims paid during October
amounted to $63,6SO, which is the
smallest for any month since the be-
ginning of payments. Recovered dur
ing the month was 5000 of claims
paid, which, on investigation, proved
unbelievable ''It is expected" said
Mr.. Craighead, that, due to seasonal
unemployment, there will be an in
crease in benefits during the winter
season"

wheat LOANS
REACH CLOSE
TO IS MILLION
Loans 20 Cents Higher This
Year Than 1910; Chouteau
County Leads in Loans;
RichIand and Roosevelt
Lead in High Loans.

Commodity wheat loans approved
during September showed substan-
tial increase over Augsut business to
bring the total volume of 1941 wheat
under regular loan in Montana on
September 80 to 14,742,172 bushels
valued at S12,841, 1897, Chairman R.
J. McKenna of the Montana Triple-A
committee announces.
ION August 80 loans valued at $5,-
3O1 ,234 had been made on nearly six
million bushels of wheat During
September, 2,454 farm storage loans
were made on 4,799,191 bushels and
4,12S warehouse storage loans were
made on 3,992,927 bushels. Loans this
fall are 20 and 20 cents bushel high
of wheat" McKenna said "And the
average loan rate to farmers in the
state during September was .839 cents
a bushel"
"At the end of September, $780,"
McKenna stated, "loans averaging SO
cents bushel had been made on A.
180,044 bushels of the 1910 crop for a
total value of $9,317,470. This showed
the advantage IS percent of parity
loans is giving farmers this year.
With nearly as much wheat under
loan in 1910, the value was some
S3,523,000 less than it was this year
when, by approving marketing quotas,
operators have assured themselves of
SIS percent of parity loan rates.
Loan applications have been APP
proved in As Montana countless" Nc
Kenna continued. "Chouteau, with
1,463,349 bushels placed under loan
during September, continues to lead
in volume of loans. Rates during
September averaged between rs cents
a bushel for low grades in Ravalli
county and 1897 cents bushel for
high grades in Richland and Roose-
welt counties"
1.-THE average loan rate to farmers
ON September 30, 1910, was 1874 cents
a bushel," he concluded. THE higher
average rate this year means that, on
wheat already under loan, farmers
have received 1882, 965.24 more than
they would if last years rates were
still effective"

mocracy and neighborliness of COOP
eratives extended throughout the
world would eliminate the economics
of force which causes war and that
co-operatives will establish a perma-
nent basis for world peace.
We believe that ideas can march
where armies cannot penetrate and
that the time has come when men of
good will, working together in eco
nomic cooperation, can create a saner
world.
The methods of cooperation have
proved successful in every kind of
enterprise from oil and farm supplies
to groceries, from insurance and hous-
ing to recreation And each step
further, from retail to wholesale, to
production, taps new and wider bene-
fits for self-reliant people. Good will
cannot fail.
The Consumer Cooperative Move
ment has been endorsed by the major
religious faiths, by national education
associations, by all political parties,
by farm organizations and by the la
Dor movement.
Co-operatives are not institutions
set up by philanthropists to help the
people. They are businesses created
by the need, intelligence, vision, good
will, hard work and capital of people
who believe in themselves.
Conscious of our opportunity and
responsibility we pledge ourselves:
To study thoroughly the job ahead
of us.
To join and help form co-operatives
and accept the responsibilities of
membership.
To buy everything possible through
our co-operatives.
To invest in co-operatives.
To tell our neighbors and our neigh
bors' neighbors about co-opera-
tives.
These are the opportunities and re-
sponsibilities of Americas new pio-
neers. Men of good will, using the
tools of the new age, can build a
saner world.

Foreclosures

CONTINUED from rage ohe}
of farm real estate mortgages recorded
in 1941 increased slightly over the
previous year, the second quarter of
1941 shows a drop of percent COM
pared with the same months last year.
Greater care in the selection OF risks
on the part Of LENDERS and some
slackening in the demand for new
mortgage credit" Governor Black
said, ARE largely responsible for this
decrease. The Farm Credit Admins
tration is adhering to a policy of max
ing real estate loans primarily on the
basis of the productive capacity of
the farm in terms of normal values
This policy should be a stabilizing
force as we head toward period in
which dangerous speculative factors
may again appear in land values"
Second quarter foreclosures by fed
eral land banks this year were the
lowest since 1884 and forced sales by
non-Farm Credit Administration lend
ers continued the downward trend
which has been in evidence since that
year. Farm foreclosure sales for the
year ending June 80 totalled 1888,
compared with 25,S61 in the previous
year, according to Farm Credit Ad-
ministration estimates.
The average size mortgage recorded
during the second quarter of 1941 was
$2,4S0, which is about percent larger
than the year before. All classes of
lenders increased the average size of
their mortgage loan, increases varying
from percent by commercial banks
to Is percent by the miscellaneous
group of lenders.

meet by program of taxation, bond
sales and price control. prices don't

pointed out that government and con-
sumers should have voice in saying
at what level they should be set.
Speaking to between 200 and 300
people who filled the Labor Temple

man of President Roosevelt's Commits

Mark Starr, educational director of
the International Ladies Garment

relationship of organized labor and
more attention than ever before to
their problems as consumers.

Anaconda in his request.
After heated arguments marked by
frequent and personal verbal clashes
between the attorneys yesterday and
continued today, Judge Horsky took
the case under advisement and gave
both sides 20 days in which to file
briefs in support of their contentious.
Wellington D. Rankin, attorney for
the plaintiffs, argued that a taxpayer
has a right to institute mandamus
proceedings under the authority of
Chumasero v. Potts, 2 Montana, 242,
wherein he quoted from the Montana
supreme court, where the relief is
public matter, or a matter of public
right, the people at large are the real
party, and any one of the citizens can
bring the action"
Attorney General Bonner, County
Attorney Smith and Sheriff O'Connell
in their motions to quash proceedings
admitted for the purpose of the argu-
ment the allegations of the complaint
but contended the plaintiffs had no
standing in court to challenge the
constitutionality of the law, and that
the law was constitutional.
Rankin argued that the law was
obviously unconstitutional on the fol-
lowing grounds:
l. The title of the act says nothing
about permitting gambling, but simply
that gambling is forbidden except for
amusement. He contended that the
title was a fraud and deception and
that to hold the law constitutional,
it would make farce of the Consti-
tuition.
2. That it did not accord the people
the equal protection of the laws under
the federal and state constitutions.
He argued that a law that says a
man who doesn't belong to a fraternal
organization will be put in Jail if he
CANDLES, but a man who belongs to a
fraternal organization can, with i'm
punity, have slot machines, roulette,
faro or any other gambling game with
the sky the limit in amount, is obvi-
ously not giving men the equal pro-
lection of the law under free gov
eminent.
8. That the law says in one place
that fraternal organizations may only
gamble for amusement, and in another
place that it may. have faro, roulette,
slot machines, poker or any thing it
wants, but that is in the catch all
joker clause and not within the spe-
cific provision of the law which first
forbids it that the law that is so am
biguous and contradictory as to be
meaningless, and shows that a joker
was put in deliberately, or through
inadvertence, should be declared I'M
constitutional.
There was no contention on the part
of the attorney general or any other
lawyers present that there was not
gambling at the fraternal organiza-
lions in question. In fact the state
ment was made that there were six
slot machines at the Elks, six at the |
Eagles and other places were enum- |
Grated.
Rankin argued that the slot ma |
chine is forbidden by law in any place, |
and that there are no exceptions
made.
The attorney general and the many
counsel for fraternal organizations
who are asking that they be permitted
to continue to operate slot machines
and gambling games spent little time
the constitutionality of the
law, and mainly argued that the con-
of the law could not be
tested by private citizens, but only
by members of fraternal organizations
