Conduct Of War
Losing Judge Says;
Governor Is Charged
With Hsmperine Effort
BY FRANK MORRIS
Times star Correspondent

TRAVERSE CITY, Oct. 2.-The
Republican theme this year is a
charge that the war has been mis-
managed at home and abroad, it
developed today as the COP BAN
ner carriers arrived here on their
opening crusade for votes.
"The war Is being lost" as
serted Circuit Judge Homer
Ferguson, COP nominee for
United States senator. adding
that he would not have dared to
make that statement had IL not
already been admitted by an as
sistant secretary OF war"
1.-THE war effort In Michigan
II being hampered by politics on
the part of the governor" added
Secretary of State Harry F.
Kelly, nominee against Gov.
Murray ID. Van Wagner.
This 1912 speechmaking started
last night at Jackson, where
Kelly and Ferguson appeared on
the same platform with other
COP nominees for state office.
TIME TO TAKE STOCK
About 600 voters applauded
their speeches in the auditorium OF
the county building.
Kelly and Ferguson will be to-
'gether this weekend and then en-
bark on separate tours in the Up
per Peninsula.
1--WE are losing the war and
we must now take stock" the

ering last night. you must take

a bulldog to be fed.
"Scrap all of your represents
tives who have not done their
duty In this time of crisis and
replace them with the courage
and mettle necessary to win this
war"
Kelly carried on the war theme
by Indignantly Directing TO Van
Wagoner's slogan: "Re-elect Mich
igan's war governor"
Pointing out that the nation was
not at war when Van Wagner
was elected. he declared the phrase
is a misleading effort TO play upon
the sentiment Of the people.
1.-THE hope of the opposition Is
to make II appear that n vote

chief" Kelly said.
81 regret to say that the war

Montana Is Shouting
Way In Patriotism

Montana once again is showing the
way to other states concerning enroll
ment Of its men in the armed forces
and the latest count shows that 14,783
Montanans are in army, navy, marine
corps and other active combatant
forces.
State officials Of the American Le-

Boost In Pullman,
Chair Car Charges
APPROVED In State

Ten percent increases IN charges for
all interstate Pullman and chair car
service were authorized by the Mon
tana railroad and public service COM
mission after a hearing at the state
capital.
Austin B. Middleton, commission
chairman, said the rates would apply
not only to those railroads operating
Pullman cars but also to those with
their own sleeping car equipment and
chair cars. He explained that the In
creases, identical with those granted
recently for interstate traffic. are linn
tied TO the duration Of the war and
six months thereafter, the same as
those granted by the interstate COM
merce commission. No protestants APP
peared at the hearing
Later the commission heard protests
against applications by railroads and
motor freight carriers for increases in
interstate shipping rates.
Freighting agencies applied for In
creases averaging about percent for
most shipments and 3 percent for
products, livestock and
certain other commodities.
Claude c. Gray Of Big Timber, presi-
dent Of the Montana State Farm bu-
reau, appeared to protest the increases.

CUT In SCHOOL
DEBT FORECAST
BENNTON, SECRETARY OF STATE
TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION,
MAKES PREDICTION

Secretary Fred Bennion Of the Mon
tana Taxpayers association predicted
no new indebtedness for the states
school districts this year and a reduc-
ton of bonded indebtedness.
He estimated the bonded indebted
ness of Montana's 1900 districts viii
be down to 100000 from the 1871
total of $7,79l 900 by 1945.
Bennion explained the plan Of trus-
tees 70 pay off indebtedness with sur
plus cash rather than lower levies and
the fact that construction materials
are unobtainable will have much TO do
with the reduction.
The districts could use surplus
money to reduce levies but will find
it better business to pay debts than
cut operating levies." he said.
Much Of the surplus cash, Bennion
pointed out, viii come from the state
land boards distribution Of more
money this year than had been in
Guided In school budgets.
Through the exchange Of bonds and
receipts Of rentals where 1t has lots Of
lands and good crops the board has

This extra money canpot be ex-
pended for any purpose before July /.
After that date this money, together

MINES CAN GET
HIGH RATINGS
EQUIPMENT PRTORTTTES BASED
ON PRODUCTION OF MINERALS
NEEDED FOR DEFENSE

Any mine producing substantial
quantities of lead, zinc or other metal
vital to the war effort may apply for
high priority ratings TO obtain needed
equipment, senators from mining states
were assured by Wilbur A. Nelson,
chief OF the war production boards
mining branch.
Gold and silver regions have protest
ed vigorously q recent amendment
eliminating from the benefits Of the
general mining priority order any
mines producing more than 80 percent,
by dollar value, Of gold and silver.
In a letter intended to be a state
ment Of policy to clarity some appar-
ent widespread misconceptions" Nelson
said the order and its amendment con-
tanned mo provision prohibiting any
mine operator from obtaining any
equipment that he may need to operate
his mine"
Nelson and other WPB spokesman
have emphasized that there IS no pres
ent intention to modify the order,
pointing out that appeal provisions and
other priority actions give ample OPP
portunity for mines producing war es-
sential metals to get needed repair
and maintenance equipment
The order merely provides that
mines producing 20 percent Of critical
ores get preferred priority treatment;
all others are entitled automatically
to use lower ratings which are ade-
quate to obtain most needed items,
Nelson said, and these also may apply
for reinstatement in the preferred
category.
More than 10 such reinstatements
have been granted to companies in the
Rocky mountain area whose by
product output Of lead, zinc, copper or
other vital ores Is substantial, the
branch chief added.

of conferences with the senate sub

Farms May Be Forced
To Tap NeIO Sources
For ADEQUATE Labor

New sources of workers probably viii
have to be tapped to meet the threat
ened shortage of farm labor In Mon
tana, shows report on recent studies
Of the bureau Of agricultural economics
United States department of agricul-
ture, received by Ray 3. Haight, state
B. A. E. representative at Montana
State college.
In areas where an acute labor short
age Is In prospect, 1t may be necessary
for women, high school students, and
local nonagricultural workers to help
with farm operations, the bureaus re-
search indicates.
During 1912 the expansion Of war
industries win probably bring about a
further increase Of 100000 nonagri-
cultural workers." the report points
out. "Over 100000 men win be added
TO our armed forces. Thus the 1912
production goals for agriculture viii
have to be attained under conditions
which draw more and more workers
from rural areas and deplete the farm
supply labor.
"As q result, agriculture may have
at its disposal during the coming sea-
son up TO million fewer workers than
during the peak labor season In 1941.
With continued migration Of farm
workers as war industries expand, II
is conceivable that there win be an
even larger decrease In the agricultural
labor force from 1882 to 1e43 than the
estimated decline from 1871 to 1912,

Proposed SIGSEiing
OF Education Costs

Slashing Of expenditures for educa-
ton on the ground this step Is essen
tial because Of the war viii be strongly
opposed by parent teacher associations
which contend education Is necessary
to preserve morale and prevent juve-
nile delinquency.
Reports indicate that in various parts
OF the country demands for economy In
education due to war conditions have
been voiced. Taxpayers are being
warned not to be led astray by clever
arguments intended 70 bolster such
demands.
Mrs William A. Hastings Of Madison,
Wis, national congress chairman, has
declared that 1t costs about $500 a
year at least to care for a Juvenile
delinquent but only 500 a year to
educate a high school student and
from $50 TO SIS a year to educate an
elementary school student.
Figures compiled by leaders Of the
parent teacher movement show that
in England juvenile delinquency has
increased so percent since war began,
while In Canada 1t increased As per-
cent in l94l or 1910. The blame In
both countries was placed on Shorten
ing the school term and curtailing GER
tain school courses"
It was further pointed out that some
courses characterized as unnecessary
and which include manual training
and mechanical instruction, are equip
ping youths TO take places in vital
defense industries.
Keeping schools up to the best STAN
dards is regarded as necessary 10 in

State Ready for "All OUT
War Effort, Governor Says

Montana's willingness to go all out
for war and to participate in the
building Of a better peace was empha-
sized by speakers at the annual ban
quet of Montanans, Inc, the state
chamber Of commerce.
IF we don't appreciate the present
crisis" Gov Sam G. Ford said, ''it is
because we haven't been given the
facts. We haven't been told what Is
to be done.
I'VE are ready to go all out; we're
ready to make any sacrifice"
James H. Rowe Of Butte, thrice
president Of the organization, declared,
I'VE must transform the American
people into people as tough as we
face.
1--WE have to demonstrate that this
system Of living, which is a fine thing
in peace, is strong enough to endure
in war. -.
There can be no special favors-
for capital, for labor, for the farmers,
or social workers"
Rowe, in outlining an after-war pro-
gram, called for a diversified agricul-
tural system-"we must get away from
wheat "-and develop IAN economy that
win be self-sustaining rather than one
which might leave US saddled with de-
pendents"

college president, in presenting an OPP

cultural program: Our agricultural
plant never was in better shape than

of war industries, which demands q
greater output OF western beef, dairy
products and other farm and ranch
produce which can come from Mon
tana because Of shifting demands and
improved marketing conditions.
J. L. Bossemeyer, San Francisco
travel bureau executive, said the war
will bring changes in travel business
but that Montana can reasonably ex-
pect another good tourist business

Speaking before the advertising d.
vision of the state chamber, Bosse-
meyer asserted Montana must try 10

states this year.

on advertising their vacation attrac-
