Aussie Says We Are
Heading For
Chaos

Melbourne, (AP) The Melbourne
Herald today quoted H. F. Richardson,
deputy chairman of the Australian
war surplus disposals commission, as
saying that the United States, after
finishing the war as the mightiest
nation, sis now rushing toward econ
omic disaster of the first magnitude"
The Herald said that Richardson,
who has just returned from a five
months business tour of North, Cen
trail and South America, declared in
an interview that members of con-
gress were lolling back in their seats
on Capitol Hill reading the comic
strips while the United States is
rushing headlong towards initiation. :"
Richardson was quoted as saying
that Australians were sometimes
critical of their own politicians but
that the latter "are comparatively
well informed and diligent compared
to the swarm of racketeers, ignora-
muses. and stookies of the big pres
sure group" operating in Washington.

States Population Is
Still Below 1910

Estimates of the population of Mon
tana is $4,000 for June, 1916, based
on the 1910 U. S. census figure Of
$4,000 modified by normal migration
and emigration, births, deaths, and
the number of persons returned from
the armed forces and from war indust-
ries during the six years since 1910.
There are still $4,000 persons in the
armed forces. A net gain of $500 per-
sons per year as indicated by past ex-
perience plus those still in the armed
forces constitutes the potential addi-
ton to the population to be expected
In the future.

Comp Not On Basis
of Come and
Get IT

Helena.-Many unemployed work
ers and veterans of Montana are under
the impression that benefits under
the Montana unemployment com
pensation law and federal readjust-
ment allowances are available to them
on the basis of come and get it,"
Barclay Craighead, chairman of the
unemployment compensation commits
sion of Montana, recently stated.
"The commission emphasizes that
in both civilian and veteran unem-
ployment programs, the laws are very
pointed in demanding that claimants
must be available for work, must be
able to work. and must be registered
for work with the U. S. Employment
service before claimants may be de-
termined eligible for benefits Craig
head explained. "In addition, civilian
unemployed must have adequate wage
credits based on past. employment"
Subsistence Payment At Best
The general philosophy of both laws
is to provide for workers who are I'M
employed through no fault of their
own, small weekly cash payment to
tide them over the difficult period be-
tween losing job and finding an
other, or in the case of discharged
veterans, in finding a job, Craighead
continued. The payment is, in both
cases generally, subsistence pay
ment at best, and is not intended to
compete with wages The chairman
further emphasized the point by stat
ing that the commission feels that a
job is always better than unemploy-
ment benefits, and that such bene-
fits are at best only a temporary
