THE OLD SO AND
SO SAYS:

A younger generation of men-wo-
men didn't vote then-began a deter
mined campaign 40 odd years ago to
rid the western states of the domino
ton of the railroad companies. 1t was
long and bitter fight. The railroads,
through the use of passes and adver-
Using, had nearly all the newspapers
of the western states on their sides,
all the powerful banking interests of
the east and practically all the old
line politicians and office holders in
both parties. The fight was won. But
what were those who took up the
cause against intrenched privileged
called? One of the names most COM
monty applied was anarchist" Today
communist" has taken its place. 1t
cannot be denied that Wheelers re-
peated cry that his opposition were
'all communists" had its effect. Dan
Milestone called the shot a year ago.
Down in Yellowstone county lot
of people are chuckling-even some
Wheeler republicans-over the report
ed losses of prominent and wealthy
merchant who has frequently boosted
he made Wheeler He has also often
remarked with pride that he was
direct descendant of Won Bismarck.
Anyway, the story is current that he
posted large sum in local bar and
lost it. 1t is said that he offered odds
Of three to one that Wheeler would |
carry Yellowstone county
No reasonable man, no man in his |
senses, can doubt that the trend of |
events in this country points to con-
ditions under which the working man |
will get greater of share of what he |
produces by his labor than he has in |
the past or does now. No greater blum
der could be committed by those who
oppose this movement than to dub
those who favor it communists.
True, in political campaign some
good, well intentIoned people are
taken in. But truth will out in time |
and when they find they have been
fooled they are more than likely to
resent 1t, deeply. And they might well
do bit of thinking and wondering
why some big capitalists and their
henchmen throw that name around so
freely. Would some of them, in their
hearts, like to see this country ruled
by minority provided "big business"
was in the saddle?
The Kremlin just recently sent out
q letter of instructions to all the five
thousand odd newspapers in Russia.
1t reads like letter from the Hennes-
sey Block in Butte to company-owned
and controlled papers in Montana. Diff
ference is that in Montana a direct
telephone line is quicker and doesn't
make record.

GAG FARM POPULATION
Is TENDING TO
DECLINE

The State Unemployment commits
sion estimates that, in general, Mon
tana farm population in 1916 is con-
siderably less than in 1910.
Counties which had greater pro-
portion of farm population in 1910 ex-
perienced relatively higher losses In
population during the war years and
have recovered less by immigration
since 1914 than counties which had
smaller percentages of farm popula-
ton, the commission reports.
OF the SIX counties which showed
continuous gains in population during
the three periods, 1920-30, 1930-40, and
1940-46, four counties had less than a
third farm population cascade, Gal
latin, Glacier. and Yellowstone).
Of the three counties which, after
having gained for two decades, lost in
1940-46, only one county had less than
one-third farm population (Toole).
OF the nine counties which gained
between 1920-30 and lost between
1930-40, only two gained in 1940-46, one
of which deer LODGE had only 8
per cent of farm population and one
with 43 per cent farm population
(Rooseyelt).
OF the IS counties which lost con-
tinuously in two decades, only one
county (Treasure, with IS per cent
farm population) gained between
1940-46. Ten of the Is counties had
more than third farm population.
OF the IA counties which lost pop
ulation in 1920-30, but which gained
population in 1930-4O, the only coun-
ties which gained population between
1940-46 had less than one-third farm
population (F'lathead, Lewis and Clark
and Missoula)

Manufacturers


silly but allegedly pro-labor propa
ganda that has created the impress
sion that the rise of labor is some
bloodthirsty dictatorship of the pro
Iletariat-or actually of those political
gorrillas that would muscle into the
| job of debating. Because they have
not visuallzed how thru industrial or
ganization the working class can make
its emancipation the creation of order
out of social chaos, they remain de-
spite their conscience, lib-labbing pro-
pagandists to keep things as they are
with few decorations.
Third is the process of tradition.
| We have got in the habit of accepting
as proper the social relations and
claims to privileges that once did
serve a necessary historic purpose
and so were established. The tradition
goes on even though the occasion
that brought it into being has long
since disappeared. This is of immense
advantage to ruling class.
Economic Controls
These factors probably far outweigh

formation in the deplorable status of
kept woman. The people who own
newspapers are among the upper
crust and need no special inducement
to control the press in the interest of
their class. Whenever some inkling
of professional pride, some qualm of
social conscience, makes them protest
some minor but nauseating feature of
the system, dependence on advertisers
for the bulk of income soon brings
them to heel
What about the actual paid hands
that write and edit the copy? The lot
of the newspaper reporter has obvious
ly improved since his organization ten
years ago. Collective bargaining has
given him some measure of job secur-
ity and that has enabled him in turn
to exercise his freedom of conscience
at least more than he could in
earlier years. One result is that strikes
are reported much more accurately
than they used to be- But most re-
porters remain victims of at least
some Of the first three controls listed. |

three months - have some news
concerning her. Haven't you heard!
She got married a couple of weeks
ago. Monday was her first day at
the school after a summer tutoring
at camp and a wedding. / heard
her say that she was just going
around in circles. Who wouldn't be
after such an exciting summer.

Friday night was the big night for
the parents and teachers of HIS.
A program was presented in the
auditorium, with the orchestra play
ing, after which Mr.. Willis spoke
to the faculty and parents. A number
of the teachers also spoke regard
ing the high schools program and
what it intends to do for the stu
dents. After the program there fol
lowed tour through the class rooms
and then refreshments in the
cafeteria, which were prepared by
the senior class in the home eco
Monies department.

Again the Hagerstown Hubs have
come out on top by a wide margin,
having won their seventh consecu-

against Dewitt Prep School, with the

Try-Outs for the dramatics club
began last week. Seems there will
be a good many in the club this
year, despite the strict requirements.
James Murfin, acting as program
director at the last meeting of the
Record Club, which was held No
vember Ia under the supervision of
the club advisor, Miss Payne, pre-
sented a program of popular rec
ordings and musical quiz. Nancy
Gray was the musical quiz prize
winner, but the pity of it all was
that she didn't get anything for her
talent
The November 26 meeting of the
club will be in charge of Carroll
France, who plans to present pro-

and Alec Templeton. There will also
be something about the life of each,
plus another musical quiz. Chat

been married for seven years.
Some people like to travel in Eu-
rope and see the sights of Hawaii
and the Far East, but did anybody
ever have the ambition to see the
sights of the United States? Well,
know some one who has that very
ambition. Why of course, its Mrs
Miller. She has already been as far
as Minnesota, but that isn't far is
it? She wants to go to California
where it rains all the time. Well,
hope your wish comes true, Mrs.
Miller.
Mrs. Miller says that she has not
had very eventful life - but 4
very happy one. l told her that some
thing exciting must have happened
in her life. How about when you
got married? But that only brought
a laugh, nothing more. I suppose that
meant I was getting too nosey. But
