we thought it important for people to
meet.
At meeting in Circle, sponsored by
Farm Bureau recently, it was brought
forcibly to this writer's attention that
there is no limit to peoples credibility.
The whole atmosphere of the meeting
had an Alice in Wonderland quality.
The speak er of the evening, one Dan
Hanson, might easily have been re-

ton. This used to be called the 23rd, but
another Amendment has superseded it

and goes by the appealing name LIB
erty Amendment.
This amendment is nothing if not
ambitious. 1t seeks to abolish federal
income taxes 1t demands disposal of
all government business enterprises and
land not specifically authorized by the
Constitution. Some 700 enterprises are
affected a starter. All must be sold
within three years from passage of the
proposed amendment. When these boys
start back to the good, old days of free
enterprise, they allow little to dis
tract their intention of revoluting to
the right.
In the case of the REA, the sale
will be forced by liquidation of the
government credit, without which the
rural people could not have built
their power systems i'm the first place,
nor shall they be able to purchase it

There was general condemnation of
everything progT essive or liberal. ALI

socialistic and then the business of
socialism was securely bound hand and

don't mention this as criticism for these

this stuff with all their heart, that is
what makes them active while the lib

200 bulldozers were Communicated
to work the fires, 400 men worked
33 days. Every one in the Forest
Service abandoned their regular du-
ties to go on fire lines.
The growth of the trees was not
affected because growth happens
early in the year. However, fire
weakened trees become more open
to attack from insects and the plant
ings are either complete failure or
economically a loss.
The only thing successful in the
forest this year was the hordes of
people which use them. This presents
another problem-mostly sanitation.
The one good thing about the earth
quake which killed the campers and
damned up the Madison was the
elimination of the human waste COW

1t used to be possible to use sar-
casm and ridicule ito show the truth by
exaggerated comparison. One dare not
attempt such a solution anymore. The
state of public ignorance and prejudice
has become completely beyond the
power of the imagination to exagger-
ate. No matter how ridiculous one
makes the comparison, it goes without
saying that. probably many, and GER
tainly some, will accept the exaggera-
tion as fact. We, who have been called

WORST FIRE SEASON I'm
THIRTY YEARS

E. Arnold Hanson, Forest Service,
said that 1861 was the worst fire sea-
son in 80 years. The Sleeping Child
fire even made the TV in London.
The only thing that saved the forested
section of the state was the lack of
winds such as accompanied the 1910
fires.

SOIL BANK CRITICISED
BY FISH AND GAME

SOIL BANK CRITICISED
BY FISH AND GAME
Clarence A. Bruce, Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation Serv-
ice. told of the soil bank program
which received strong criticism from
Don Brown of Fish & Game. The
acres not planted became Ravens for
sharptail grouse, until the farmers
were allowed to cut hay and Craze
these acres.
Brown said this removal of the
litter and mulch caused loss of soil
moisture.
Both animals and wild life are
weakened by the drought, mostly
from lack of vitamin A which
plants can't make from phosphorus
poor soil.
Bob Mcintyre of Yellowstone Park
Service said rangers are going to
kill 5000 elk to reduce the herd by
half because of the poor range con-
ditions. 600 had already been killed
and shipped to Indian reservations.
$500 will be shipped to the Indians
plus 500 for the school lunch pro-
grams in Idaho and Wyoming. Mon
tana Fish & Game has furnished hay
to bait the elk trap, but the most
that has ever been able to be trapped
was in 1857, when 681 were corralled.
NEED sTEPPED-UP
LION BIRTH RATE?
Mcintyre said the only control to
natures balance now is very few
mountain lions. The coyotes are being
poisoned off by the farmers and the
last wolf was sighted in the park Is
years ago.
Harold Kidd, Omaha Corps of En-
gineers, said that reservoir manage
ment is affected by drought on even
more of a long range basis than agri-
culture. The emptiness of Fort Peck
Dam this past summer was not at
to the drought though.
The filling of Fort Randall and Garri-
son Dams to begin electric generation
was the main reason the dam is so
low.
Kidd demonstrated that drought
also causes suffering in the towns
because the farmer isn't making
a normal amount of money. The
old car will just have to run a little
longer without being replaced.
Prexy R. R. Renne, Montana State
College, gave the summation of the
meeting. While only per cent of

Background

CTILL FLUSHED with their victory
- at Bull Run, the COnfederates felt
cocksure enough to post some Of their
forces on WashingtOn's Southern door
step just across the Potomac. These
we're distributed on the hills and ridges
arcing across Northern Virginia from
the vicinity of Chain Bridge to points
below Alexandria. Washington, of
course, had its own system Of forts and
breastwOrks strung along the same
front But the pOpulace and military
authorities in the capital became
jumpy with apprehension every time
the enemy troops across the river made
a move, no matter how insignificant. A

therefore became necessary TO determine
how far back Beauregard's main force had
gone, and Gen. Mcclellan sent out few
brigades to that end. They found no enemy
in their works at Upton's, MunsOn's, Masons
or EdsaIrs Hills, their Struggling pickets
leaving there before our advance. This
proved that the previous change Of position
on the part of the disunion army had been
general one, for some purpose which con-
tinues to be a matter Of Surmise on the part
of the public.

thrown his army Immediately on the banks
of the Potomac, in the vicinity Of Occoquan

sion in that vicinity has certainly been
strengthened Of late. He has been building
flats there, we think, for blind Our own
impression is that he has simply withdrawn
towards Manassas in the hope of inducing
an attack upon him, perhaps at Bull Run
again. At any rate we feel certain that his
movement will not cheat Gen. Mcclellan into
forward one on his part until he has every
thing so arranged as he is arranging them
