Motorists Should
Endorse
Cos Coupons

Motorists in Libby were urged
by H. B. Wallace, chairman of the
War Price and Rationing Board, to
endorse their gasoline coupons in
advance and thus avoid the incon-
venience and delay, both to them
and to their dealers, of having to
do so at the filling station when
they buy gasoline.
Failure to make the proper no.
tations on the back of coupons be-
fore gasoline is delivered consti-
tutes violation of the mileage ra-
tioning regulation, Mr.. Wallace
pointed out.
License numbers and the alb
breviation of the state should be
written on the backs of all cou-
pons before going to the station, or
when the book is issued. This will
save the time of the motorists and
the attendants who must other
wise take the time to do this for
each transaction. Without this en-
deFsement, the filling stations are
not to accept coupons" the Ration
Board explained.

Clarifies Meat
Rotioning Used
By Formers

New meat-rationing regulations
provide that a farmer and his fam
lily may consume meat raised on
any farm he owns or operates, and
may transfer meat from one of his
farms to another to provide food
for members of the household, with
out giving up ration points, even
if the meat is not slaughtered on
his farm. However, If the farm own
er does not live on farm, he must
give up ration points for any meat
he consumes elsewhere. Under the
original regulations, a farmer who
brought his own cattle to Gus
tom slaughtering plant had to sur
render red point stamps for the
meat, while if he killed and dressed
the animal himself the meat was
ration free" A farm or ranch en-
ployer who feeds his employees in
clubhouse or dining hall may
now use meat and other rationed
food raised on his farm on the same
basis as if the employees were fed

the mayor is. Should the citizens
request the strict enforcement of
this ordinance, it is for the mayor
to decide whether or not the re-
quest shall be granted. The coun-
cilmen are in no way concerned
about the matter; they did their
part when they passed the ordi-
nance. Should some person be
brought into the police court on the
charge of violating this ordinance,
il is up to the police judge to act.
II the police judge fails to render
what he honestly believes to be a
fair decision, and in case of guilt,
fails to impose what he sincerely
believes to be a just punishment
he is unfit to be a police judge
Any mayor or police judge who
shows the slightest faint of bias or
favoritism should be promptly re-
moved from office.

Drive SIowIy-Soft
Shoulders Ahead

(Merle Thorpe in Nations Business)
/ The Delano report on security
from cradle to the grave, sent to
Congress by the President, recon-
mends permanent change in the
| social and economic structure of the
| United States. 1t proposes increased
| government control and ownership
| OF business, widespread insurance"
| coverage, and greatly expanded
N. Y. A.-W. P. A. make work pro-
gram.
The goal to be obtained is the
dream and prayer of all Americans.
Unfortunately, like so many short
cuts, the ways and means to reach
a destination SO desirable are un-
pleasant details to be worked out
later.
One thing is certain. the burden
OF proof is upon those who advo-
cate such a radical change in the
American way of life. Lest we for
get, that way of life has made us,
based upon any test, the envy of
all peoples everywhere. Our we'll
being is the result of individual eff
fort, with government acting as
umpire. Any plan to substitute for
this a pseudo-partnership with gov
eminent experts must be argued
for, must be defended against the
known experience of America,
where governmental restraints have
been at a minimum, and where man
has been most free.
In point of time, aside from the
political expediency of the moment,
the announcement of the Delano
Plan is unfortunate 1t comes when
men and women, high and low, are
skeptical of the omniscience of gov
eminent planners, and of their ca
pacity to administer their plans.
Too recent is the Blue Eagle which
failed to increase purchasing power,
of buying and selling gold at price
fixed each morning which failed
to restore commodity prices, of the
annual promise to balance the budg-
ct, of sterilizing gold, of a deficit
spending policy the result of which
the war has temporarily postponed,
Of planning in the field of labor,
and of agriculture.
Still more recent are the effects
of Washington planning in rubber,
sugar, gasoline, fuel oil, and food,
and on down to the simplest of
plans, bread-slicing, tire-recapping
and pleasure driving And there is
scarcely citizen who has not had
an eye-opening personal experience
with some phase of the administra-
ton of war planning in the eco
nomic field.
So, the country will await more
details. Particularly, will it watch
for one omission in the plan-the
cost. Not only the cost to those who
must work and produce and save to
provide the money, but also the
cost of the additional millions of
citizens who must be taken from
the nations production line to adj
minister as government employees
the wide range of new duties the
Government proposes to take on.
While waiting for this informa-
ton, we may beguile ourselves with
a similar situation which confront
ed Alfalfa Bill Murray of Okla
homa. He was campaigning for Gov
ernor on platform of increasing
the old-age pension. When rowing
correspondent, John T. Flynn, re-
minded him that the present pay
ment had set the state back $25,-
100000, impairing its credit and
asked the Governor how he expect
ed to get the whereWithal for the
larger pension, the Governor re-
piled,
THAT, sir, is detail to be worked
out after the election"

A SHORT LESSON IN CIyICS

The American system Of govern
ment, federal, state, county, city or
town, is administered by three sep
arate and independent bodies-the
law making, the law enforcing, and
the law applying. In city or town
the council is the law making body
and the Laws are called ordinances.
The mayor is the law enforcing
body, and the police judge is the
law applying body. When the coun-
Gil has passed an ordinance it can
sit back and honestly say, I'VE have
done our work; the rest is up to the
mayor and police Judge" Whether
this ordinance will be enforced or
not depends upon the sort of man

Crop Report Shows
Heavy Winter Kill
Of Wheat

The damage to winter wheat in
Montana including winter kill, late
winter and spring thaWing and
freezing and smothering from crust
ed top soils has continued to grow
until it now appears that As per
cent of the fall planted area will
be replanted to other crops or sum-
mer falloWed. On the remaining
area there is still good chance for
better than average yields per acre,
but the 1943 indicated production
has been lowered as of May to
/ 1,835,000 bushels compared with
26, SAB, 600 bushels indicated a month
earlier, 34,731,00 bushels produced
in 1912 and the 1932-l941 average
production of l3,549,0O0 bushels.
While winter wheat damage was
greater than average in most of
the area east of the Divide, it was
especially heavy in north central
Montana where in recent years
farmers have been shifting from
spring wheat to winter wheat. In
this area it is expected that the
abandoned winter wheat acreage
will be largely replanted to spring
grains and to the war crop, flax.
TO a less extent winter rye also
reflects the severe weather of the
past winter in the larger than us
ual acreage of rye that farmers on
May / reported would be cut for
hay, pastured and abandoned. The
acreage Of rye which will not be
harvested for grain in 1943 is As
per cent compared with 30 per cent
IN 1912 and for the remaining acre
age for harvest there was indi-
Gated a yield per acre of 105 BUSH
els as of May compared with
$50 bushels for the 1912 crop and
the 1924 average of 1913 bushels
This would indicate l943 rye crop
OF $4,000 bushels compared with
100000 bushels in 1912.
There is very little hay carry
over in northwestern Montana west
of the Divide and southwestern
Montana is also in this class to a
somewhat lesser degree. Southeast
ern Montana has the heaviest hay
carryover with from one-third to
one-half of last years crop still
on hand along with some carryover
from years preceding 1912. Outside
OF these three areas the remainder
OF the state has from Is to 20 per
cent OF last years crop still on hand
along with some carryover from
previous years. About II per cent
of last years crop is still on farms
and ranches in the state as a unit.
