to rate of tariff plus profit of foreign
importer and unless some means is
taken by cooperative effort to proc
ess all produce from the farm, the
farmer has no means of saving the
unearned money he must turn over
to trust controlled industry or avoid
paying an unearned tax allowed by
law to processing, protected individ-
uals or corporations.
If the processing of dairy products
and the refining of oil can be made
a success as has already been proven,
then why should the milling of our
own grain not be made a profitable
line of cooperative effort? How
much could be done toward providing
equipment if all the money paid for
freight alone in the state of Montana
for one year on grain which never
reached terminal markets were used !?
Would that equipment be one year
investment to the state or to the man
who invested his money in it? AS it
now is he invests in nothing and only
makes present to private industry,
most of which leaves the state never
to return.
Is there a lack of power to do our
own work here in the west or a lack
of vision or energy?
Is there any other way the farmers
or laborers can secure a part in the
protection of law or the special pro-
lection now offered to the American
Association?
The anti-new deal forces seem to
rave about any change in past sys-
TENS but tariffs. Free entrance of
money from foreign countries, and
free immigration of labor, was once
the new deal they needed and got,
but can't the cooperative forces of
today maintain new deal for their
own protection?
The new deals of the past are now
old and raw deals and, if they can't
be changed the common people must
stand fast in cooperative effort to
perfect a new deal, now only partially

an about drive on Japan.
Our industrial output has reached
an all-time high and come to it's peak,
but our domestic problems, the soldier
vote and our foreign policy is not
wholly stabilized yet nor is our labor
problems and a pickering congress
settled down for wartime truce pos
sibly because we are not in imme-
diate danger from foreign invasion.
If we were in the same position as
some of the European nations, more
would see eye to eye.
For whole year we supplied Great
Britain with war material and cruis-
ers with no intentions of actual par
ticipating and the war seemed far
away. That situation is now radical
ly changed and U. S. instead of being
an interested spectator, is next to
USSR, the main actor in World War
II on the Allied Nations side.
We got in from bad start begin
ming with a series of mishaps, some
accidental, others resulting from pure
neglect and according to what hap
pened in Bari harbor, we are not
through yet Our greatest disaster
was Pearl Harbor, that was an acct
dent; what happened to our air-fleet
in the Philippine Islands was a coin
cidence and what happened to our
Grated airplanes between Australia
and the Dutch East Indies was a
habit; what happened in Bari harbor,
Italy when we lost II ships by enemy
bombing in one hour on December
2, 1943, for lack of air protection, 1
don't know what to call that unless it
would be stupidity. Hitler probably
feared an Allied invasion into Yugo-
slavia and took most decisive way
to stop it.
After this lesson we may conclude
to cross the English channel yet while
we have boats enough left and leave
Italy and Greece as of minor import
ance on our way to Berlin, for if we
are going to put in the rest of the
winter in Italy, there is the possibility
Of the Red army beating us into Ber-
in. Great Britain lost but one boat
n the Commando raid on Dieppe and
could have followed it up by a real
INVASION instead Of going to Africa.
Had this been done, we would have
beaten the Reds to Berlin and Rom
nel's recall to save Berlin would be
imilar to Maxim Weygands call to
ave Paris.
Some may think that the bulk Of
ur fleet from the Mediterranean
would endanger our lend-lease route
0 the Soviet front not aware of the
act that this same material would be
0 times more effective on a Second
ront in western Europe. We could
take leaf from the Reds
trategy by changing a castiron
curse to a more flexible one; when
he mud stick them in the south, thew
tart drive in the north; when they
re blocked in the north, they make
drive in the middle; we are evident
: stuck in Italy, but don't realize it
ct. Right now the Mediterranean is
le richest gold mine in the world in
lnken ships and it don't happen to
3 the short road to Berlin either
ecent signs point to the much adver-
sed opening of Second front in
estern Europe now in spite Of win
r and cold weather.

Dear Mr.. Bruce:
I've been progressive Republican
all my life and voted for Teddy Roose-
welt and the Bull Moose ticket in 1912.
Four years ago we elected Sam
Ford governor of Montana in the face
of united corporation opposition.
Now when there is an appointment
to fill in the Industrial Accident
Board, Mr.. j. Burke Clements is kept
on by Sam Ford in spite of the fact
that he is race horse tout, a stooge
for the ACM company with nothing
to justify his being kept on the job
but his being a consistent yes man
for Senator Wheeler over a period of
years.
The people are beginning to wonder
if Sam Ford is actually governor of
Montana or is he just Charlie Nc
Carthy for Senator Wheeler.
Mr. Clements appointment came up
April First but no action to fire him
has been taken by the governor Is
he planning to carry him through the
election next year and then reappoint
him as payment for the support he
is to get from Senator Wheeler in the
coming election? The people would
like to know.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr.. Bruce:
| noticed an article in the last issue
of your good paper about Mr.. Barclay
Craighead, secretary of the Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission, who
| is spending federal money to attack
the Social Security bill sponsored by
Senator Murray in congress.
The article said that Barclay Craig
head had misused federal funds in the
amount of $95.40 to send dodgers to
10000 Montana citizens asking them
to oppose Senator Murray's bill
Much has been said about the
Hatch act which is supposed to pre-
vent government employees from par
ticipating in political activities under
penalty of immediate dismissal plus a
fine and Jail sentence. Yet Mr.. Alt
meier of the Social Security office
just asks for the return of the $95.4O
which has been used unlawfully.
Apparently Mr.. Craighead, who has
been favored for the past twenty
years as his father was before him,
with government jobs does not come
within the jurisdiction of the Hatch
act because of SENIORITY RIGHTS.
There has been no word of this
grave Haunting of the law in the COM
pany press of Montana. Why? Is it
because Senator Wheeler and Gov
ernor Ford have issued instructions
to the prostituted press to lay off?
Are Craighead's talks over Senator
Wheeler's radio station at Butte rap
ping the Social Security bill permitted
by the Hatch act? Does the fact that
Senator Wheeler is chairman of the
Radio Commission in Washington
place his appointees above the law?
l have had great confidence in the
Peoples Voice for the courage with
which it has stood for decent govern
ment and the rights of the common
people. In Washington Senator Muir
ray has fought lone but gallant fight
for the little people. Through his
efforts the story of Craigheads flaunt-
ing of the law has been brought to
the attention of the Social Security
people in Washington.
Let's insist that the Hatch act be
applied to Mr.. Craighead as we'll as
to clerks and other defenseless gov
employees.
Very truly yours,

Mr.. Editor,
AS co-operators we look with a de-
gree of satisfaction on the progress
made but we seem to fail to get a
full vision of what is yet to be con-
sidered a part of our completed eff
forts. 1t would seem necessary for
the primary producers-farmers and
laborers-of the northwest to enter
the field of processing more fully in
order to meet the trust systems now
in force against them.
A farmer takes his grain to local
elevator and the price offered him is
Minneapolis or some other distant ter
minal market less freight, commits
sion, shrinkage, etc., and of course
the farmer can take it or leave it.
Now much of that wheat never goes
to terminal but is milled at some
nearby mill and as consumer the
farmer buys back the same grain as
processed upon which he paid the
freight and other. expenses, plus pro-
tective tariff, plus profit. But it is
not farmer consumer alone that must
pay but all labor consumers of the
state and nearby markets who must
contribute to the millers' trust what
appears an unearned profit.
Some may object to the statement
and say protective tariff should not
be mentioned in basing a sale price
but it clearly appears that under a
tariff law a professor becomes a pri-
vate tax collector and is permitted to
tax home consumers an amount equal

A large ingredient Of bridge

team-of -four match, both North
South pairs made bad bids on to-
days hand and reached unsound
contracts. One defender rose to the
occasion and profited, while the
other defender slipped and showed
net loss.
Dummy's ace won the opening
diamond lead and South took one
round Of trumps. Then the club
ace was taken, the jack Of clubs
messed and diamond discarded
on the king Of clubs, South ruffed
e diamond, entered dummy with
another spade lead and ruffed q
club. Finally South cashed the
heart ace and led q low heart.
One defender in the West position
put on the heart jack--it seemed
high enough 10 win the trick. But
East had 10 uveTtnke with the queen
and lead q diamond. South trumpet
and dummy discarded the last los
ing heart. 80 that the contract was
made.
