Merchants Will
Hold Prices

Considerable sunrest and anxiety
mas been shown by the buying pub
nc IN Libby as we'll as in other
communities throughout the nation
following the expiration of OPA
control over prices. MANY have
looked for a skyrocketing of prices,
and there has been some tendency
to do wild buying for boarding pur-
poses.
However the people of our COM
munity need have but little WORRY
regarding unnecessary inflationarv
price raising by our merchants.
Representatives from The Western
News during the past several DAYS
have talked with practically every
in Libby, and without ex-
eeptlon we have been assured there
VIII be no raise in prices during any
period when control is off unless
the merchant IS forced to pass along
a raise made by the wholesalers.
1t IS the universally expressed
nope Of our merchants that prices
Will soon go down. rather than I'D.
AS one merchant expressed it, I'VE
would rather make our money from
greater volume of business than
~ higher profits Without excep-
ion, the News men have been told
hat prices ON all goods in stock
will not be raised. This same spirit
appears to exist throughout the
country, and there is little doubt
'ut if business is given a chance to |
manage its own affairs, it will play |
air with the public. The history of |
he past has been that the American
who was not a Square
hooter," was soon crowded out bv /
onest competitors.

Lincoln COunty
Entirely Free
Debt
County Board Liquidates
1874, 900 Indebtedness
During Past Few Years
COUNTY'S VALUATION
IS NOW $4,95O,OO

In checking over the cOunty's
books at the close of the recent fis
cal year, which ended June 30. it is
of interest to note that during the
past year bonded Indebtedness tot
aling $59,4l0.63 has been paid off.
In further research the interesting
fact that during the administration
OF the present board, consisting of
James Mahoney, c. o. Hoisington
and P. V. Klinke, bonded and long
standing Indebtedness totaling over
$134,000 has been entirely wiped
out and Lincoln county is now en-
tiTely free from debt.
Commissioner Mahoney became a
member of the board in November.
1888 He was followed in January
of 80 by Mr. Hoisington, and the
Eureka district elected Mr.. Klinke
in 1910
When Mr.. Mahoney came to the
board in '38 the county had bonded
Indebtedness on the courthouse
building of $4,000 In addition to
this, a relief fund debt which had
been mounting since the beginning
of the relief program had reached
the sum of $4,000.
The voters at the November cleo (
ton in 1888 voted $4,000 bonds for
the construction of the Warland
bridge. At this time the county
was lacking in road equipment and
was without funds for obtaining the
same. There was no warehouse in
the Libby district and all county
funds were exhausted before the
9th month of that fiscal year.
In freeing the county of all its in
debtedness, the commissioners have I.
been able to take up the courthouse
bonds which were not due until
June 3, 1855, and the bridge bonds
which would not have matured I'M
til July is. 1889 Thus the taxpay-
ers have been saved many years of
heavy interest payments. In add 4
ton to this accomplishment it has
been unnecessary during the past a
years to make any levy on the road
fund, owing to a surplus built I'D
during preceding years. Due to the
able business administration of the
board, all the above has been ac- n
and substantial cash a
balances above the legal require o
nentS are now in all the county c
undS, and first class equipment is a
lsed IN caring for work throughout s.
he entire county IL
1t will be of interest to all citi- i
ems of the county to know that it is 4
N the verge of passing from a 7th II
lass to a 9th class county. The a
landing is determined by the coun- fa
US valuation, a total valuation of al
100000 being required for a 9th
lass rating. Lincoln county's pres CO
mt valuation is $4,95O,OOO. al

It's real fun listening to folk who
do not set themselves up as critics
or experts, filling in the box-score
on this or that subject. We get a
kick out of Lionel Hampton's visit
to the Golden Gate ballroom the
other night where he was thunder
ously received by thousands of his
admirers who dug down deep to the
extent of $1.50 to hear the music of
Americas most widely discussed
ork leader and his band.
Two teen-agers off in a corner by
themselves were listing the great
bands of the day like this. Said a

We hope, with the aid of our new

race, creed or color"
The advertising agency for the
Kellogg Company, Kenyon and Eek
hardt, Inc, in statement, heartily
concurred with their client about
espousing of the new Superman
story line. w. B. Lewis, vice presi-
dent and radio director of the agen
cy, said: "The story will be just as
exciting as the usual Superman ad-
ventures. In fact, we think it will be
even more exciting. The difference
lies in the fact that Superman, if
this first experiment is successful,
will go to war against juvenile de-
linquency, racial intolerance, school
absenteeism and the other problems
of child behaviorism which bulk so
large in the public consciousness.
The contest to add new lyrics to
"Hey-Ba-Ba-Rebop" started on
April 6, will run thru June 80 and
many entries are pouring into the
Chicago Defender, Lionel tells me.
The Leeds Music Co., is offering a
total of $3.50 in prizes to contest
ants who because of their original
ity send in the best judged verses in
the contest.

portrayed by Clayton Bud Coll

the inception of the program six

the new story line, because it's just

has done all he could to further this
movement"
In 1880, Giannini was granted a
minor post in the propaganda min
istry, Finally, in l941. he was re-
warded by membership in the
Fascist Party with seniority dating
from March, 1925.
Indicted and Acquitted
A FEW months after Rome's fall
in 1874. he brought out "The Com
mon Man" and made it his mouth
piece. The first edition of 10000
copies sold out the first day and had
to be reprinted three times. Gian-
minis following soon grew so great
that the. government indicted him
on his Fascist record. His paper was
suspended temporarily for melting
crime" and he was denounced in the
British Parliament. But he was
acquitted by the Italian courts.
Giannini has often protested
loudly that the courts were being
too lenient with former Fascists.
But when his hackers. the wealthy
Scalera brothers. Salvatore and Mi
chele. who made millions from
Fascist construction contracts in the
colonies. were acquitted. Giannm
devoted whole columns to disclaim-
ing any hand in the matter. Yet in
December. 1916. the Scalera broth
ers helped Giannini bring out an
other neo-Fascist newspaper, III
Bnonssnso" Common Sense
The Scaleras, like many rich
Italians. would like to see the return
of the monarchy. which backed
Mussolini and made their profits

ously for the king prior to the cleo
tions; and the day before his
Common Man Front" supposedly
'non-party." held its first national
convention. he enrolled himself in
the Monarchist party. Il would not
have entered politics at all" he had
told me only few months before,
"if I had not received thousands of
letters imploring me to do more than
just criticize" Plainly. Giannini is
anxious to disguise his motives.
Who stands between the Com
mon Man Front" and its objectives?
Unity among Italy's many self
willed parties. each pursuing a course
for the betterment of some particu-
lar group. is becoming increasingly
difficult. Palmiro Togliatti and his
Communists seem interested only in
recouping their prestige. The Social
lists, led by Piero Nenni, lack disci-
pline and unity. Nenni. an honest
but vacillating journalist, made a
bid for left-wing solidarity by engi-
neering pact with the Communists
that only succeeded in splitting the
Socialists down the middle.
The 0nly Hope
If ITALY's political leaders do not
begin soon to pull together. Gian-
mini may carry the day.
Virtually Italy's only hope for the
present is square -jawed, brisk Pre-
mier Alcide de Casper. a resolute
anti-Fascist who commands the
Christian Democrats, Italy's most
powerful party. But as Italy's chief
spokesman at the Peace Conference,
De Casper missed a chance to re-
store Italian pride and confidence

Why do the Allies permit neo-
Fascists to thrive at all in an occu-
pied country? The reason is that as
a group the Fascists are so loosely
organized that it is impossible to
suppress any but the most notorious.
Further, THE Common Man" is
licensed by an Italian press agency
over which we have relinquished
control.
To date. nothing Giannini has
done gives us a pretense to step in.
If, however, he attempts coup
dAat. then according to the armis-
tice terms British and American
troops may 60 into action. Short Of
this. all we can do to prevent another
catastrophe in Italy is to give her
people the help they need to rebuild
a healthy and productive nation.
Meanwhile, Guglielmo Giannini
bides his time. The End
