WHAT ABOUT IT.?

| are concerned and our institutions are
not perfect.
| We want to live democratically In
this republic in war as in peace. With
Mr.. Borah we cannot have faith in
democratic institutions if they are
fitted only to sail in serene seas and
wholly unable to withstand the
storm"
Our kind of patriotism believes in
change.
We are not fastened in the paralysis
of the status quo, so piously called
''the American Way" We are for
change like the men who fought in
the American Revolution, like the
abolitionists who died at Gettysburg,
like the pioneers who escaping the
economic oppression of the east came
west to Montana. We believe and we
stand ready with Jefferson our spiri-
tual leader to make in a free demo
cratic way another great change If
the need exists.
Does the need of change exist?
To find out and to intelligently
decide requires we use our right of
free speech. To find out the facts
on which to come to a decision we
must speak clearly, and honestly to
each other. The free speech of the
people is the nations thoughts. And
we are the nation We are sover-
eign. We are the rulers in the de-
And may we not think and
speak our mind? Remember, you

GROCERY IS
ENJ0INED

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.-The Haines
Wholesale Grocery Company of Mis-
soula, Mont. has been permanently
enjoined from further violation of the
federal wage nd hour law, 1t was an
lnounced today by L. A. Hill, regional
ldirector of the Wage and Hour Di-
VISION. This action was taken follow
quent to the time the firm was in
spected and thoroughly advised as to
the requirements of the law.
Federal Judge James H. Baldwin in
dered the firm to make payment of
back wages, as approved by the Wage
land Hour division, by May Is, and
restrained the firm from violation of
the law in the future.
The governments charge that the
company had failed to pay its en-
ployes for overtime work at time and
one-half their regular rate of pay and
had failed to keep accurate and ade-
quate records of hours worked and
pay ItcelFeu ny llS WOTheIS, WAS not
contested by the company.
THE type of business engaged in
by this firm, said Mr.. Hill, SIS ident-
ical to that of company In Atlanta,
Georgia, where in a contested case a
federal judge recently held that whole
salers selling entirely within one
state but receiving their products
from other states are engaged in in
terstate commerce and are subject to
the law. This position has been main
tanned by the Division since the law
came into effect in October, 1885"
Employees engaged in interstate
commerce are entitled to not less |
than 30 cents an hour, except in in
dustries in which a higher minimum
has been set by wage order, and |
should receive time and one-half their |
regular rate of pay for all hours |
worked over 40 a week. Employers
must keep adequate and accurate rec
ords of hours worked and wages paid |
at straight time and overtime.

Congress Now

he makes farm machinery, fertilizer
clothing, automobiles, and the like
are in market in which the price
has been fixed. He has no chance to
bargain, to buy elsewhere for less.
! He must have these articles essen
tial to decent living, and he is told
he must pay the price "or else"
What then can be done to improve
the farmers status in the national
picture? The price of farm products
must be increased, and it must be
increased to point where the farmer
may take his place with all other ele-
ments in our country-farmers, bust
ness, and labor-as an equal partner,
not only in the work but in the prof
its of this, the richest nation on the
globe.
And now congress is earnestly
studying the farmers problem, to put
every farmer in America actual par
ity'' for his labors.
This means that the man behind
the pillow" shall receive for the things
he produces, his actual cost of pro-
ductiOn plus profit-a profit which
will insure to his wife and family all
the necessities of life, proper medical
care, college educations for his chill
dren if they want it, and all the other
rights and privileges which should go
with what is proudly proclaimed as
"the American standard of living"
That is the task now before the
congress. 1t is an important task, but
the representatives of farming COM
munities all over this land are deter
mined the farmer shall get his share
of the good things of life
AS your representative in congress,
want to present to the committee
on agriculture any suggestions you
may have for solving the farm prob
ems l believe that the farmer, him
self, is best fitted to suggest a remedy
for the ills which are making it diff
ficult for him to get his share of the
wealth of our nation
The committee hearings are being
extended for this purpose. Send me
your suggestions and l shall present |
hem to the committee.

MORTGAGE
FORECLOSURES
REDUCED

Farm foreclosures in 1910 showed
decline of Al percent from the pre-
vious year, the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture said today The total OF
20,950, estimated by the Farm Credit
Administration is the smallest num-
Der of foreclosures in any year in the
seven years for which it has records.
OF this number, 1886 were foreclosed
by Individual mortgage holders, $3.50
by the federal land banks, and 3,1S7
by commercial banks. Insurance
company foreclosures were 1876, and
Federal Mortgage Corporation fore
closures 2,211. Miscellaneous fore
closures numbered 1880
During the fourth quarter of the
year, foreclosures declined to the low
est quarterly level since 1884, and
"a percent decline, from the third
quarter, in foreclosures by the fed
eral land banks and the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corporation more than COM
pensated for percent increase in
by lenders other than the

towns are often assigned contingents
of laborers which have to be supplied
for work in Germany.
During the last summer and fall,
more than 100000 Polish laborers,
including the prisoners of war, were
employed in Germany, Austria, and
the Sudetenland. The great majority
were farmers, but skilled metal work
ers, engineers, etc, were also deported
from central Poland for forced labor.
The Reich Ministry of Labor re-
ported on January IA, 1871, that there
were 100000 Polish workers in the
Reich, of whom 100000 were war pris-
oners 1t is to be expected that
again this summer hundreds of thou
sands of Polish agricultural workers
will be forced to go to Germany
The German workers were formally
forbidden to treat the Poles like
equals. In order to separate distinct
ly the superior race" from the Gin
ferior race" the Polish workers in
Germany were compelled to wear a
Polish badge" a large yellow "P"
in a violet-edged square.
The workers sent to Germany were
given railway ticket and 40c in cash
They were promised that remittances
home would be allowed up to 100
zloty (about 500 month.
But the workers pay was SO low
that it hardly was sufficient to cover
their own maintenance. The actual
pay of the Polish workers rarely. ex-
ceeds the $40 they are allegedly per-
mitted to send home.
The Germans are usually employed
in better jobs and paid much higher
wages. The wage difference, when
the Poles work at the same jobs as
the Germans, often exceeds 500.
Moreover, all Polish workers, whether
in Poland or outside, are taxed by
the Germans to the extent of about
$3.50 of their wages. The money OBJ
tanned from that tax is supposed to
go for the Reconstruction" work in
Poland.
After year and half of German
occupation. 1t is clear that Poland,
and other eastern and central Euro
pean countries for that matter, are
destined to become in the German
new order" countries providing cheap
labor for the nazi industry and agri-
culture. This cheap labor would be-
come one of the main instruments in
the economic conquest of the world
by the German master race"

Senators and representatives who,
through their ignorance, have been
helping to promote this slaughter will
no doubt be forced to change their
address. The people are cautioned
against becoming hysterical in this
crisis as the lives of many innocent
people might be endangered.
Looking back two hundred years
from today's security gives one the
impression that this must have been
the product of a fantastic fiction writ

Delightful Play To Be Given
On Friday At High School

This Friday at the High School
auditorium the Senior Class will
present Young April" a delight
full comedy of adolescence. The
time 8:15 p. m.
Story of the Play
The characters in this delight
full comedy are the same who
figured in Growing Pains"
which has been so successful. In
fact, the play is a sequel to this
earlier play, continuing with the
experiences of the McIntyres,
presenting the two youngsters,
Terry and George, in their later
adolescence"
The young daughter has her
beaux in rapid succession, almost
marrying the wrong one" until
the kindly Intervention of mother
and dad, together with the girls
own growing understanding
steers her over to the right one.
The older brother, who is in
love with an ideal conception of
"the sweetest girl in the world"
discovers that she is only human
after all For a time he is COM
pletely disillusioned. Finally he
realizes that he loves her anyhow,

just as she is. And we see George
growing up at last, and adjusting
himself to some of the realities of
life.
Throughout the play, mother
and dad, now casually, now in
great concern, discuss their young
ster's problems. The play, en-
livened by frequent bits of husnor
is genuine study of the inter
reactions" of parents and young
sters during the tender, romantic,
impulsive Young April age.

fessor Mcintyre, Ray Demeritt;
