CANADA and
NV STATES
PLAN PROGRAM

Postwar foreign markets for agri-
cultural products of the central north
west are economically imperative, ac-
cording to The Midcontinent and the
Peace, a report to the people of the
central northwest United States and
western Canada released simultane-
ously today by Walter C. Coffey, pres
ident of the University of Minnesota,
and Sidney Smith, president of the
University of Manitoba.
Continuing the wartime cooperation
between Canada and the United
States, which has grown out of COM
mon border and identity of interests,
the report suggests ways of meeting
the problem of outlets for agricultural
SURPRISES of the region-wheat, lard,
and pork. The proposed program
looks primarily to western Europe as
the worlds great deficit area in agri-
cultural products.
The Midcontinent and the Peace is
issued in answer to requests made
by the heads of the governments of
the Province of Manitoba and the
State of Minnesota. Realizing that
many common peace-settlement prob
lens will be faced by the people of
the prairie provinces of Canada and
the central northwest states, econo-
mists of the universities of Manitoba
and Minnesota prepared the report
jointly and advance three general pro-
posals recommended for the consid-
Grafton of those who must determine
national and international policies.
l. A proposal that the countries of
western Europe greatly increase their
importations of wheat, lard, and pork
from the surplus-producing countries,
including Canada, the United States,
the Argentine, and Australia.
2. A proposal that Canada and the
United States comparatively reorgan-
ize their neutrality-suspicious. indus
tries by means that will secure main
tanned employment for workers in
Canadian automobile factories and
substantial reductions in the cost of
automobiles for Canadian buyers; the
United States section of the indus
try likewise will secure a larger out
put of automobiles and some, though
perhaps slight, reduction in costs.
3. A proposal that the agriculture
of the prairie provinces of Canada
and of the central northwest United
States continue after the war to fol-
low the lines of agricultural special
iZatiOn that will have heen devaIonad
by each of them during the war.

PETITION TO
PRESIDENT ASKS
BIDDLE ACTION

Petitions urging President Roose-
welt to give specific instructions to
Attorney General Francis J. Biddle to
wipe out the Ku Klux Klan and other
fifth column organizations, went into
national circulation this week, Vito
Marcantonio, president of the Inter
national Labor Defense, announced
Cooperating with the LID. in the
initiation of the petition are the Ma
tional Negro Congress, Council for
Pan-American Democracy, and Ma
tional Federation for Constitutional
Liberties
Two million signatures to the petit
ton is the drives initial goal
Unions and other organizations
have been invited to circulate the
petition under their own imprint,
through their own members.
Text of the petition follows:
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
The White House
Washington, D. G.
Dear Mr.. President:
after the outbreak of race rioting
in Mobile, Los AngeleB, Beaumont
and Detroit, you wrote that these
recent outbreaks of violence in wide
ly scattered parts of the country en-
danger our national unity and comfort
our enemies
Your words heartened the people
of the whole nation, the overwhelm-
ing majority of whom support your
war policies and are pledged to up
hold your hand against all foreign or
domestic enemies.
Patriotic Americans particularly
welcomed your statement that you
had asked the attorney general, among
others, to give special attention to
the problem of race riots.
Unfortunately, the attorney gen
eral, apparently ignoring this request,
has thus far failed to take action
against those groups whose activities
are known to have been a major fac
tor in the instructions which caused
he loss of over a million man-hours
of war work and dangerously threat
ened to unity of the home front.
1--WE therefore petition you, Mr..
President, to direct the attorney gem
eral to take immediate action to bring
the SO indicted seditionists to trial
and to arrest andl prosecute the lead
ers of the Ku Klux Khan, the America
First Party, the National Workers
lea q1e and otherc whoce namee ara
known to the Justice department, and
to disband all pro-fascist groups in~the
United States"

although they couldn't actually solicit.
Skinner stressed need for strong
Farm Bureau to bring pressure ON
congress, explaining that Extension
people are on the payroll and cannot
operate direct. Membership quotas
and goals were discussed at the after
noon session.
I'VE insist Extension directors
should be ordered back to war food
production duties and illegal and ir-
regular conduct in Georgia and entire
nation be Immediately stopped, and,
further, that Department of Agricul-
lures regulations against organiza-
ton work be enforced without further
resort to panty-waist action and sub
terfuges We insist that violation of
the ranking privilege be stopped and
punished.
Appreciate acknowledgment of this
wire and earliest possible advice on
your action, for publication along with
reproduction of misused frank, in edi-
ton going to press this weekend.

TRA-MURAL
ATHLETICS AT u
THIS Year

Montana State university is with
drawing from the Pacific Coast athlet
ic competition for the coming year
the university's administration and
athletic committee announced today
but strong intra-mural program will
be maintained with possibly a SEIZED
ule with nearby institutions.
Eve are strongly of the opinion
that competitive athletic program
is of the utmost Importance to men
who plan to enter the armed serv-
ices" Kirk Badgley, graduate man
ager of intercollegiate athletics, said.
Although we are withdrawing this
coming year from the Pacific Coast
competition, we will keep an intra-
mural program and, if possible, sched-
ules with nearby institutions will be
arranged"
Potential competition can be found
in nearby schools with navy pro-
grams and possibly with Montana
State college, Bozeman, and Idaho,
Mr.. Badgley said.
1--WE delayed as long as possible
the making of this decision with the
hopes the military authorities would
make it possible for the trainees on
campus to participate in competition
with regular students" Mr.. Badgley
declared But the War department
announced August 5 that Army men
in college may not play varsity
sports
The coaching situation at the uni
versity will not be determined until
after school opens in September, it
was announced.

THE POLL TAX
and DEMOCRACY

In the 1912 non-Presidential cleo
TONS go of the population voted il
the poll-tax states as against 25% IL
the non-poll tax states. In the 194(
Presidential election, the correspond
ing figures were 1870 and 1870. o.
the potential voters, only 22% voted
in 1910 in the poll-tax states as
against 7196 in the non-poll tax states
OF the So poll-tax representatives
Sc had no opposition in the 1912 cleo
ton Not one single opposition vote
was cast in the entire states of Ark
ansas, Mississippi, and South Caro-
lima. More votes were cast for two
representatives from Rhode Island,
population 10000 than for 81 rep.
resentatives from South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi,
plu So districts in Virginia (total pop
ulation 11.500,000). Only 2,9O5 votes,
cast by 4/5 of 10 of the population,
elected a congressman from the 9Th
district of South Carolina Less than
10000 votes elect the average poll
tax congressman; whereas it takes
$4,000 to elect a non-poll-tax congress
man. Therefore. one poll-tax vote is
worth more than non-poll tax votes.
In 1910 a moiority (42) of the rs
poll-tax districts did not hold any
primaries. Even in contested dis
tricts only 1870 of the population
voted in the 1910 primaries.
Eighteen poll-tax congressman have
been in congress 20 years or more.
Seniority determines the rank of com
mittee members. Poll-tax members
therefore naturally work up to rank
ing member and chairman. In 1912,
of the "a chairman and ranking mem
ars of the IL most important com
mittees of the house, IA, or almost
60%, were representatives from poll
tax states three times the due pro-
portion). In the same year, poll
takers were chairmen or ranking
members of each of the 10 most i'm
portant committees of the senate,
more than twice their due proportion.
Senate poll takers, led by Senator
Bilbo, have already warned they will
conduct filibuster on Fl. r. if it is
brought out from the judiciary COM
mittee to the floor. To defeat a fill
buster, a cloture vote is required
Two-thirds vote is necessary to obtain
cloture which limits debate.
Senators who support poll tax re-
peal must be urged to vote for clio
ture. Senators who voted against
cloture last session must be told inn
mediately that they must change their
stand; senators who are new and I'M
must learn the will of the
people. If your senators are listed

chance, was killed by German
shell just seven days after he had
been at liberty for the first time in
l6 years.
The victim was an anarchist
named Lucetti who, in the early
