The American people are daily get

of CHANGE.
For 20 years they have learned
what they could do for themselves
through their government T h e Y
found that by banding together their
financial resources, through taxes,
they could accomplish things they
otherwise would never accomplish,
for the greatest good for the great
est number of people. They invested
in their country and themselves by
delegating the administration of
funds to men they elected, and by
the same virtue could remove from
office. The accomplishment of this
effort were MANIFOLD and resulted
in national progress undreamed of in
any other country. By 1852 with
taxes high the people found that with
only 15% of these taxes they could:
have electricity unavailable
from any other source.

All of these things and many more

A MESSAGE TO FARMERS
From G.T.A. s. the Coop Way

YOU'VE all heard that old saying: IF wishes
horses, beggars would ride
"'We, lot of farmers up here in grain
try wish they had to say about the prices they
get for the bushels they sell.
"The truth of the matter is, they CAN. About
marketing conditions, too All they have to do when
they open the taigate of their grain truck is be
sure the grain is marketed coop all the way. That
through the local coop, then GTA at the
nal level
"You see, GTA has been handling better than 100
million bushels of grain year. That is more than
one-ourth of all the grain marketed at the Minnea
polls and Duluth exchanges.
"This means GTA has a powerful influence on
price and conditions in the markets. This influence
is used entirely for the benefit of farmers.
"But there is much grain, marketed at local
the terminal level IF that grain coop all the
way, GTA's volume would be doubled. And the farm
ers' voice in the terminal markets would have double
the power.
"That is something to talk to your neighbor about,
If his grain doesn't go through GTA After ALL
there is only terminal marketing agency in the
Northwest that works entirely for farmers. 1t is GTA

Creeping socialism, All of this must
be CHANGED. 1t must be done for
profit, and at the discretion of Bust
ness or it should not be done. How
can you be so selfish. 1t simply isn't
American"
For 20 years opponents to develop
ment via government process served
the same dish to the people, day in
and day out. In the five years be-
fore the 1852 election the spices of
dishonesty, graft, and un-American-
ism were added to the old dish and
the people began to swallow it. So
in the ballot box, with their heads
bowed with shame, the people voted
for a CHANGE.
And now the program against $50
cialism" is making great progress.
The social progress of the last 20
years is being plowed under so fast
it is difficult to catch sight of just
exactly everything we are digging
under in the process.
The security" we have been warn
ed about for the past 20 years dur
ing the Republican bid for political
power is being eliminated from our
every day fears.
We are heading back to the good
old days of no more high taxes, no
more creeping socialism, no more
"cradle to the grave security, no
more government competition with
business.
All government projects and serv-
ices being eliminated and scheduled
for elimination are those that bene-
fitted the greatest number of people.
Instead of supporting social pro-
gress through a national effort we
must pay larger sums individually
or forego their benefits entirely.
Indeed, we are now witnessing the
CHANGE. We are one by one be-
coming an integral part of it.
Is it what we want? Surely we
ire going to have a chance to find
out what the other side of the
,oin looks like. We will be able to
decide when we stand in another vot-
ng booth if the Republican CHANGE
s what we want. We will be able
o decide by 1856 if our greatest
ears are Security, creeping So
:ialism" and financing ourselves in
government business.
The Republicans may have a well
formulated program for the econom-
C future and the social development
f the nation, but it is not fully UNI
erstood by the people. Having hitch
d a ride on this Republican magic
arpet we are not yet sure the right
eople know the right magic word to

Maids Night Orst
BY RAYMER

"HELLcATE" at San Carries
Theatre.
Long time no see'' Sterling
Hayden who used to look pretty
in color with Madeline Carroll. In
this film he doesn't look that way,
but there's a reason. He has the
role of a veterinarian from the
plains Of Kansas who Is falsely
accused of being . guerrilla ter.
roist, right after the War between
the States. He is hauled off to q
federal prison on circumstantial
evidence.
The prison is Hellgate in New
Mexico not so far from the Mexi-
can border. It was notorious from
1867 through the 1905 as q tor
ture pen where sadistic Union
soldiers put prisoners in iron hot.
boxes and left them to broil In the
sun until they died or lost their
minds or, as in Hayden's case -
the veterinarian Hanley, lived
through it somehow.
The story is a true one based
on an incident which is somewhat
parallel to the case Of DR.. Mudd
who was taken to Fort jefferson
for setting the leg of Lincoln's MUIR
derer, Booth. Hayden, who is giant
of a man six feet five, is well
cast. He doesn't have to act much,
and that is just as well because
he's the strong silent Robert Nit
chum type, just big and slow NOV
ing without having to exert him
self much in the art Of acting to
impress.
Ward Bond is really good as the
hard army officer whose wife and
child were burned alive in their
home by guerrillas ravishing the
country during the turbulent period
which followed the Civil War. He
takes his bitterness out on prison
ers under his supervision. When
typhus hits the prison and the
nearest town refuses to send water
to the wilderness stronghold. Hay
den plays the hero.
The ending is satisfactory, but
this is no picture for those who
want to be merely amused. The
treatment of men at Hellgate, the
deaths of the escapes
who try to cross the desert make
this a grim saga.
