India Wants
More American
Tobacco Leaf
BY BEN BOWERS

At least one foreign country is
not getting all of the American
tobacco it would like to have
One Of the reasons is the cost Of
the finer quality leaf in this ma
ton compared to other tobacco
producing countries in the world,
where inferior leaf is grown.
A visitor to Farmvillle last
week end. F. R. Willis, said as
much. He also said a number Of
other things that could affect the
Virginia tobacco farmers who
received about $37 million in
1859.
Willis, director Of the Imperial
Tobacco Company Of India, said,
India doesn't have the funds to
buy the quality of American to-
baccO it needs. He added that
this was not a good reason to
abandon the Indian market.
Danger of StOppage
His reason: "Once the Aneri-
can tobacco trade to India is halt
ed, it will never again return. ;"
He pointed out that India is the
third largest tobacco producing
country in the world, and does a
considerable amount of export
ing. According to Willis, one
stoppage of American tobacco
would result in midas higher
class manufacturers going out
of business in favor of a lower
quality substitute. And once this
happens it would be difficult to
reverse it.
The tobacco in India is des-
crlbed by Willis as country
style This was defined further
as a dark, strong tobacco of
hundred or more varieties.
The foreign exchange in India
is at a low ebb at the present
time, and the only American to
bacco that can be purchased this
year will be under the United

Two Men With Good Records
Rail Labor Backs Olsen,
GraYbiIl for Congress

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(LABOR)
Railway Labor's Political League
has endorsed two Montana candidates
for the U. S. House. This support was
given to- them only after studying
their records with particular care, to
make sure they are capable of being
worthy successors to the House seats
being vacated by two great and good
Montana congressmen-Lee Metcalf
and Leroy Anderson. To the voters
of Montana, rail labor confidently
recommends:
District 1: Arnold Olsen. Born and
raised in Montana, Olsen attended
Butte schools, the Montana School of
Mines, and Montana State University,
where he graduated with a law de-
gree. He worked at various hard jobs
to help earn his way through.

If there's one tune that the Re-

that the INSTRUMENTATION Admins

Has it? According to the Administra-
tive Office of the U. S. Courts, 3d.
873 business firms, farmers and indi-
viduals went bankrupt in fiscal 1862,
the last full fiscal year of the Tru-
man Administration. The number has
increased every year since and
reached an all-time peak in the fiscal
year which ended last June 80 when
110,034 bankruptcies were declared.
The statistical firm of Dun & Brad
street also reports that the number
of failures among business firms on
it's list-including manufacturers,
wholesalers, retailers, building con-
tractors, public utilities, water car

| of 1859. Mr.. Nutter, as an attorney

said. Cannon, by his splendid Leg
islative and administrative record,
as a member of the House of Rep

as Lieutenant Governor the past

support.
Labor won't forget his fortnight
action in securing surplus commodi-

Montanans were hungry because of
unemployment. Likewise, labor is ap-
preciative of his more recent tie
breaking vote in support of needed
improvements in the Workmen's Com
pensation Act-a bill which was We
toed by the present Republican Gov
ernor. Labor won't soon forget his
efforts in behalf of a state minimum
wage law, or his early sponsorship

"Mr. Nutter, on the other hand"
Teddy pointed out, "has never evil

earners, particularly wage earners
who do not belong to labor unions.
Unlike his opponent, the Republican
candidate opposed minimum wage
legislation, opposed placing occupa-
tional diseases under workmen's COM
and has consistently been
much closer in his political thinking
to the most conservative elements

Montana labor, also, does not
approve of MIR. Nutter's record
against needed improvements in
our free public schools, or his sup
port of legislation to increase the

torist while at the same time op-
posing enactment of legislation to

Frank Murray, Secretary of State,
this week announced a preliminary
registration total of 322,802 for the
coming general election.
This figure is 6,35s higher than
the previous record year of 1856,
when 316,444 were registered to vote,
and exceeds registration for the 1860
primary election by over $4,000.
Six of the seven counties having
registration of 10000 or more
showed substantial increases over the
1856 totals. Only Silver Bow county
dropped below the 1856 level.
Of the remaining 40 counties with
registration of less than 10000,
only II showed an increase over 1856,
while 80 decreased from that level.
Registration in the larger counties
more than cancelled out the decrease
in the smaller counties, however, to
