FRASER SPEAKS HIGHLY
OF VALUE OF DEMO
FARM PROGRAM

GERALDINE-Th wisely planned
Democratic farm program has brought
a marked change for the better in
Montana farm life in the last 20
years, Willard E. Fraser of Bill
lings, Democratic congressional can
didate from the eastern district, de-
clared here Tuesday night.
Fraser, speaking at joint meet
ing of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
and farmers of this area, said the
"intelligently organized Democratic
farm program" and the Continued
hard work and good management of
the Montana farmer" have accomp-
lished the change.
He pointed out farmers always
have worked hard, but during the
Republican 1920s !. over half mil
lion American farmers, including too
many Montana farmers, went broke.
''They worked hard in the Repub-
lican year of 1882" he said, land by
the end of that year all were virtual
ly bankrupt. And what happened here
in America, the proverbial land of
plenty.
"In 1882" Fraser said "176 of our
farmers were foreclosed each day of
the year. Now, he added, American
farm owners hold an average 81
per cent equity in their properties,
nearly ten times the amount of the
total farm debt"
Fraser told the group that since
"the dark days of 1882, not single
Montana farmer has lost cent in
a bank failure"

As In Montana
SELF-INTEREST GETS
MAJOR OIL COMPANIES
I'M HOT WATER

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
1t looks like tough winter ahead
for major oil companies. A grand
jury investigation of the principals
allegedly mixed up in cartel agree
ments opened here September 8. The
Federal Trade Commission study of
international oil cartel operations
has been released, setting off ser
les of denials by American oil in
terests. Justice Department has filed
three civil suits against American
companies for a SGT million over
charge on oil purchased by Mutual
Security Agency.
Observers here are attempting to
analyze the motives behind the tangle.
1t can be safely said that so far, no
one has come up with a solution to
the problems which have become more
complex each day since the first
agreements were arrived at back in
1878. Some quarters are looking to
the co-operatives for this solution.

Trims during the 25-year period.
The Senate Small Business subcon1-
mittee Monday august 25) released
the long-suppressed report on inter-
national petroleum cartels. The 378
page document relates the tactics
used by seven major oil concerns,
live OF which are American controlled,
IN regulating the flow of petroleum
and setting prices to fit their particu-
lar interests.
1t appears from the report that the
greatest thorns in the sides of the
cartelists were the small independ-
ents and co-operatives. In most cases
the lack of their own supply forced
these small groups to go along with
the majors in order to stay in bust
ness. But in some cases the complete
success of monopolies was averted
because the minor groups persisted
despite threats and obstacles.

Perhaps the most powerful Amer
lean Indians of the past were the
Iroquois. Instead Of making up q
single tribe, these Indians belonged
to a number Of tribes.
For a long time there were five
tribes in the Iroquois group. These
were the Mohawks, the Senecas
the Onondagas, the Cayugas and
the Oneidas.
That period lasted century and
Ia half. People Of the time often
spoke Of the Iroquois as "the Five

The early homeland Of the Iro-
ouois was south and east OF Lake

State of New York. Later the 1ro-
quois power spread far and wide,
reaching from the st. Lawrence
River to the Tennessee River, from

Irouuois long houses are famous,
but before I describe them, I wish
to make this statement: It would
be wrong to suppose that all OF
these Indians lived In such homes.
There were small houses, or cabins,
in their villages. along with the big
|oneS.
Whether a dwelling was large or
small, it was the custom to make
a framework of poles and to cover
lit with bark. Many Of the houses
had rounded roofs, but others had
slanted roofs. It appears that the
Iroquois copied the slanted roofs
from certain pioneer homes which
they observed.
