Let us in Montana Stop Listening
To Our Whining QuisIlngs and
Help Win the War
Though entitled to four, Montana
has just one representative (Senator
Murray in Washington helping co-or-
dinate our efforts with those OF the
federal government to win the war
Half the work of member OF the
house or senate is to aid the national
set-up to function In his state. Sec
retaries for this work are paid by the
treasury. Wheeler's secretary, Bailey
Stortz (able enough certainly in fos-
tering local cabals for carrying state
elections) could not stand the scorn
in Washington of being associated
with our senior senator. Like Hamil-
ton Fish, Bailey enlisted.
Wheelers publicity hunting phrases
of the last few years are being shot
back at him by everyone except his
former fascist-minded friends-the
corporation-ow press of Montana
They are tarred with the same stick
Pulp is growing scarce They still
waste it front-paging apologies for
really the stupidest, most short
sighted, vainest weather-cock in pub
lie life. When sensible men, after
Japan sank the Panay, said "Arm at
Once" Wheeler said: "The President
is preparing to plough under every
fourth American boy" Wheeler op-
posed an appropriation of five million
dollars to fortify Guam. He opposed
conscription He opposed trading
ship for airplane bases to protect the
Panama canal and the east coast.
Wheeler succeeded In ploughing un-
der all our gallant lads in Guam. He
hung crepe on some Butte doors If
the isolationists had supported the
administration, our boys at Guam
would have ploughed under every Jap
that tried to land.
Few know where Wheeler's sons of
age are. Mr. and Mrs. Roose-
velt's family practice what they
preach Capt. James Roosevelt is in
the Fleet Marine Force. Capt. Elliott
is in the Air Corps on the
Pacific coast Ensign Franklin D.
Roosevelt Jr is on duty in the North
Atlantic Ensign John A. Roosevelt
is on duty on the Pacific coast. Gen.
Theodore Roosevelt, son of Teddy"
is in the service. (Senator Murray's
son Howard is in the army at Pan
ama.)
Let us forget Wheeler. For five
years more he will draw $4,000 a |
year from wealth that labor produces,
and be as useless to us or the rest |
Of the nation as If he were a retired |
federal Judge in an asylum drawing |
he same salary.

Dear Cap,
I take this opportunity to again
write you relative to the up side down
vision of the self admitted Hi Binder
who writes the Observers (sic) Col
umn In my letter l asked direct
questions about the Griffenhagen peo-
pie. I only asked these questions aft
er reading the nauseating panegyrics
the Hi Binder wrote about the Chi
cago experts in The Peoples Voice.
My questions were evaded. I gave
tho Sin the know" Hi Binder the ball
on his own ten yard line. In answer
ing me, he ran a full ninety yards,
even more, but he ran completely out
of bounds, yea! Even behind the
bleachers! The Hi Binder stated that
it was well known fact in Helena,
that the Griffenhagen people would
quit loser. I asked how the fact be-
came we'll known. He states I gen
orally made lot of noise I shall
herewith repeat the noise.
What other states are they re-or-
ganIzing at the same time? What are
their large and we'll proven facilities?
Where have they been we'll proven?
Can they fix Iop-sided tax system?
Do they always quit "Iight" on their
bids? If SO how do they stay In
business? Are they subsidized by
any group-sInister or otherwise? Is
it the Salvation Army? The corpora
tions? The Democrats for WiIIkie
club? The Republican War Veterans?
The Communists? Whom if any? Do
they sell any office equipment where
hey extract small commission? Do
they deal in sucker lists? Again OBJ
server, don't be niggardly with the
answer these ques-
ions! And my dim sighted fellow
citizen, in answering, don't have
riend make the study and don't have
t off the record
In all fairness to the Hi Binder |
must state that he did give us a gen.
sral direction of the operations of

heavy sacrifices that will have to be
made.
Contest for Air Supremacy
! Our first real efforts in the Far
East, it is predicted will be devoted
to attaining air superiority. This
likely will proceed any attempt to
strike haevy and telling blow at the
enemy.
No doubt Japan's ability to land
large forces in the Philippines and
other points was due to their control
of the air, which nobody expected.
Control of the sea in restricted areas,
it has been shown, is impossible with
out air control.
1t is anticipated that the democ-
racies will be able to attain this air
control in the Far East in a relatively
short time. This is because the Japs
will not be able to replace their air
losses, while the democracies will be
able not only to replace their losses,
but to strengthen their air arm.
Civil Liberties
We need have little worry that our
civil liberties will be seriously cur
tailed during the war, if judged by
the action of the attorney general in
ordering the release in Los Angeles
of Robert Noble, west coast friend of
the nazis.
Noble was arrested following the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
when he declared that the United
States has no business in Hawaii;
that the islands were obtained as the
result of imperialist ventures, and
blamed the whole thing on Uncle
Sam. In the opinion of the attorney
general, that, it would appear, is not
subversive.
To Continue Postwar Planning
Americas entrance into the war
will in no way interfere with plans of
house liberals to undertake extensive
studies of postwar planning, particu-
larly, on questions of unemployment.
"On the contrary Rep. Jerry Yoor-
his, California liberal, told this col
umn, "the need for postwar planning
will be greater. knowledge on the
part of the public that a group in con-
gress is earnestly trying to meet the
problems that are certain to arise
after the war will help to bolster pub
lie morale"

OPINIONS

The following are questions submit
Bonner during the past week, and his
official opinions rendered on them:
Question: "An employee in the Of
flee OF the State Department of Pub
| lie Instruction who automatically be-
came member of the present Teach
ers' Retirement law, when it went
into operation September 1, 1887, has
failed to pay into the Retirement fund
five percent (5%o) of her salary for
the following time: September 1, 1887
to January 5, 1941.
This is period of more than three
years.
Since January, 1941, this teacher
has been employed in the public
schools and each month the monthly
installments due by her to the Teach
ers' Retirement fund have been paid
up to date.
Has this teacher lost her prior serv-
ice, due to the fact that there are
past due installments unpaid for more
than three years?
Held: Where teacher never notified
Teachers Retirement board that he
did NOT desire to become a member,
within statutory time, he automatical-
ly became member of Teachers Re-
tirement System. 1t then was the
mandatory duty of his employer to
notify the board and make monthly
deductions from the teachers salary
of contributions and transmit same to
the board. Where the employer failed
to perform the duty required by stat
ute, such failure will not affect the
teachers membership or prior service
rating. The board may now, under
its rules and regulations, require de-
linquent payments to be deducted, as
it may prescribe in its rules and regu-
lations.
Question: You have asked for my
opinion as to whether or not the coun-
ty clerk may issue a certified copy
or copies of a recorded certificate of
discharge of any honorably discharged
SOtultIy SdllOI Vi IldllHt, WlluOuI COl-
lecting a fee for said certified copy
or copies
Held: l. County clerk shall record
certificate of discharge of honorably
soldiers, sailors and ma
rines without charge.
2. County clerk shall issue, without
charge, certified copies of recorded
certificates of discharge to the United
States Veterans Bureau or to the ap-
plicant or to any person acting in
his behalf, when said Bureau requires
same in determining eligibility of ap-
plicant.
8. When a copy or copies of re-
corded certificate Of discharge are fur
nished to the county clerk for certif-
cation, the clerk shall compare the |
copy or copies with the recorded dis
charge, without charge, and may
charge only for his certificate and |
seal the fee of fifty cents for each
such copy.
Question:: Whether the State Audi
or may draw his warrant covering
he salary Of Music Supervisory of
he Department of Public Instruction
Without an appropriation, as provided
or by Section "a, Article 5, Of the
State Constitution.
Held: The statute providing for the
of music supervisor in
he Department of Public Instruction
md fixing the salary therefor, is an
made by law, and there
or the state auditor may draw his
for such salary, even though
10 specific appropriation was made by
he legislature for such salary.

A Hopeful Sign

A Hopeful Sign
Perhaps the most hopeful sign of
sanity in this dark and insane world
is the fact that, even though our re-
solve to defeat Hitler and everything
he stands for is more determined
than our resolve to beat the enemy
in World War l, there is less spirit
of vindictiveness displayed, against
the German people, as such.
Although it is realized that Hitler
could not have inflicted the miseries
he has on the world without the solid
support of the German people, we still
regard these people as victims who
themselves have to be rescued from
the clutches of that tyrant the same
as all other people.
This may mean that the peace
which will follow this bloody war may
not be a peace of vengeance, but
rather peace that will show the way
for all peoples and all races to live
together in a spirit of amity and COM
radeship. 1t is to be hoped that the
universal desire for that kind of
peace will not be destroyed by the

North had very strong hand con-
tanning all the aces except the heart
ace, which had been cue-bid by
South. Souths failure to support
the clubs coupled with Vests short
holding in the suit indicated that
North and East held most of the
suit. If South failed to develop
clubs. he might later on take a spade
fnesse: so West decided to put South
to the guess Immediately. With
that idea, he led the ten Of spades.
South didn't realize tnat West
had led away from the spade king,
so he won the first trick with dunn
mys ace He then ruffed a low
club. got to dummy twice with
trumpS to ruff two more low clubs
and then discovered that the club
suit could not be brought in. He
was. therefore. set one trick.
West had analyzed the situation
as precisely as though he had seen
sll the cards. With any other lead,
South would have gone after the
clubs, with the spade flnesse as his
alternative if the clubs failed to set
up. And. with that choice of plays,
he would have made the grand slam.

Brown Predicts
Tax ON State,
City Bonds
Time. star Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Sen-
ator Prentiss NJ. Brown CD OF
Michigan, chairman Of the Senate
subcommittee which will draft
new tax legislation, today pre-
dicted enactment of a law giving
the government power to tax state
and municipal securities.
Brown was named chairman OF
the committee Of six senators. an
unusual honor because other men,
bers are his senior in service. Tfe
committee will also prepare a bill
authorizing an increase in the
federal debt from 40 billion dollars
TO IS billion dollars.
Taxation of state and municipal
bonds. Brown said. would give the
government an additional income
of between $4,000 900 and
1897, 100000
STATES RIGHT
Under terms of the proposed
measure the states would have the
right in turn TO tax federal securi-
ties. The federal government, il
was estimated. would thus lose
from. Sl90O0.000 T. $4,000. 0O0
from this source but nevertheless
would gain in net income.
Brown estimated that the fed
cral tax Will not materially in
crease municipal tax rates and
said that In 20 years after the
plan had become fully effective
the rate in Detroit would not be
increased by moro than 20 cents
a thousand dollars OF tax value.
Other tax experts. however. de-
clare the federal tax will increase
the municipal tax rate in Detroit
by more than 81 per thousand.
