BABSON .WARNS OF IMPEND
/
ING HARD TIMES IN U. S.
SPEAKING TO 4,000 BUSINESS MEN IN CHICAGO,
BUSINESS STATISTICIAN CALLS ATTENTION TO
RESULTS HERE OF FORCED LABOR IN EUROPE.
Chicago.—Warning that the low
wages forced already resulting in the
shutting down of our factories was
the kepnote of an address by Roger
Babson, business statistician, in an
address to 4000 business men and wo
men at the Auditorium in Chicago.
Babson pointed out that although bus
iness activity in 1923 had been at a
high level the low wages accepted by
European labor and the competition
of cheaply produced European farm
products were cutting down the mar
ket for our own manufactures and
forcing our • farmers into debt while
their taxes and interests continued to
accumulate.
The 'conditions in Europe, said
Babson,
are causing labor to work for very
low wages enabling goods to he
manufacured and shipped to this
country at ridiculously low prices.
These goods are causing our own
factories to shut down,
months of 1923 show imports of
$2,650,000,000 which is far in ex
cess of any previous year. More

over for those eight months of

Price Of Wheat Set In Liverpool
"The price of wheat," he said,
"is made in Liverpool and our
farmers are obliged to compete
with the farmers of Europe, and
the former are running into debt
every day, while their taxes and
interest are accumulating."
Auto Sales Ominous
Babson also called attention to the
tremendous amount being spent for
automobiles as a threatening factor in
the situation. He said that expendi
tures of automobiles was forcing
large numbers to restrict their normal
expenditures for other things.
Building Boom May Collapse
He also predicted that the building
boom might collapse at any time be
cause construction costs had gone so
high that it was no longer possible to
build profitably for investment.

VALBORG D. ANDERSEN,
RETAIL MERCHANTS EXECUTIVE
BELIEVES IN CO-OPERATION
O. F. Tate Says Farmers Hae Got to Control Supply or Go
Business Men Will Follow Them If They Do Not
Brok
Cooperate to Avert Disaster
• •
O. F. TATE, STATE PRESIDENT OF RETAIL ASSOCIA
TION, BELIEVES IN SUPPLY:
Mr. O. F. Tate, who is president
of the State Retail Merchants Asso
ciation, is also a member of the Advi
Committee of the Montana Wheat
sory
Growers' Association. When asked if
he would consent to become a member
of the latter committee to help put
across the big control drive, he con
sented readily. For he believes in co
operation.
A few days after the first meeting
of the Advisory Committee, the writ
er looked Mr. Tate up. And we found
him, coat off, dictating with a cou
ple of stenographers busy as could be.
And this was what he was doing: re
presenting the merchants of the state,
picking up and absorbing a bankrupt
stock, "in order;" as he said, "that the
mercantile market woud not be flood
ed by a lot of-cheap stock, to knock
dowa prices and destroy the rest of
the merchants of the state by destruc
tive dumping."
And when asked about the Montana
Wheat Growers' Asosciation, and its
co-operative pooling plan, Mr. Ttate
said :
;
1
"Why, its the only thing. The far
mers have got to control the supply,
or go broke. And if the farmers go
broke, we merchants will go broke
with them. We've got to help the far
mers to help themselves, or we'll all
go broke, and no mistake."
The co-operative pooling plan, as ex
empified in the Montna Wheat Grow'
ers' Association, is an organized ef
fort on the part of the farmers, not
only of Montana but of all the wheat
growing states of the Northwest, to
help themselves by gaining ultimate
control of the bulk of the wheat, so
that they can thereby prevent the an
nual early dumping of wheat. This
dumping process, says Mr. Tate, plays
right into the hands of the grain spec
ulator, at the expense of the farmer,
for it makes cheap wheat. Mr. Tate
believes that if the majority of the
wheat growers of the State of Mon -
tana will join with the majority from
the other wheat growing states, they
can control this dumping, even as the
merchants of Montana have combined
to absorb bankrupt stocks, in order
that legitimate marketing of products
may not be hampered by the flooding
of the market.
Mr. Tate recently wrote to the. Mon
tana Wheat Growers' Association.
His letter is interesting, and is as fol
lows:
Carter, Mont., Sept. 18, 1923.
Montana Wheat Growers,
Lewistowa, Montana.
Gentlemen:
In the course of events we . should
all be on the alert for information that
will assist in carrying out constructive
ideas, and since acquainting myself
with your organization two years ago
I have consistently sought to arrive at
a judicious and unbiased decision con
cerning it. *
First, my inevstigatins were along
the line of acquainting myself with
the officer^ and directors of the orga
nization and the general methods of
conducting the business, and after sa
tisfactorv conclusions were reached
as to the integrity of the principles
and the excellent management of the
Associations' business, my next thot
was of its purpose and the prospects
for its success.
As to its purpose there can be no
question. In these days of thorough
ly organized business it is simply
useless and hopeless for any class of
business to try and survive and pros
per without it. Since the farmer has
not heretofore been well organized it
would seem to me that he now has
an opportunity to do so, and better
still, to have'the program endorsed
by most of the business men ^nd
bankers of the state. The degree of
which you attain will depend
entirely upon the attitude of the man
who is to be' benefitted—the fanner.
Since this is eminently his problem
and you aready have such a large pro
portion of the wheat already signed
for delivery, I can see no reason why
should not succeed. Personally, I
success
you
expect to lend every effort possible to
the promotion of the cause, feeling
at this time the need for such a move
and with the fullest realization that
unless the farmer can prosper the
business men of Montana rpust soon
er or later retire from business,
Your strongest appeal to me in all
my observations has been that radical
ism and drastic ideas have been en -
tirely eiminated and all your plans
seem to be along strong and broad
lines, and .permit me at this
wish you continued success and assure
you that you may feel at liberty at
afty time to call on me for any service
which I can render to help you in
completely and thoroughly organizing
the farmers of Montana.
O. F. TATE, President.

Sunday will mark the beginning ot

Church. Revivals or spiritual awak
enings are indispensible to the life of
the church. A test of life in the
Church is its ability to reproduce it
self. Life everywhere does reproduce
itself. Man is more than a mere
brute. H* is God's crowning work of
all creation and is endowed with re
ligious endowment. Pre-historic and
historic times prove this fact. The
Bible is not a mere fable nor an ir
It needs no defender,
rational hook,
for its power for good testifies to its
Divine origin. The Bible is God's
plan for our life. No man has a right
to make his own plan for life, regard
less of whether it is right or wrong,
no more than one con be a citizen of
our land and disregard the law.
The Church is not a mere parasite
and good enough for "goodie goodies"
preachers, priests, women, children,
and feeble-minded as some would have
us believe, but of real men and women
who harve made the world what it is.
The Church stands for human service
and the nobest and purest in life as
its underlying principles. You can
not get away from the fact _that
America would be a pretty sorry land
and Plentywood a place of outlaws
which to live and rear your family if
it had no churches.
The Supreme Court of the United
States of America declares this land
to he Christian. What are you doing
to make America Christian ? Can you
be a 100 per cent American citizen
and disregard the churches
The vital questions concerning this
life and the life to come will be given
due consideration. Remember services
every night at 7:30 o'clock,

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
With the beginning of the quarter
last Sunday as well as the opening of
the interclass race contest, the attend
ance of the Sunday School increased
thirty three and a third per cent. But
the fine attendance is also matched by
a genuine interest and enthusiasm on
the part of both parents and children
for serious lesson work,
new .teachers now we shall be able to
give the children the best possible Re
ligious Education under our crowded
condition.
The splendid crowd that met last
Sunday for the regular worship is in
dicative of an ever increasing interest
and hunger for the deeper spiritual
ralities. And therein, as Woodrow
Wilson has lately put it, lies the hope
and salvation of the present ^civiliza
tion. Last Sunday in the sermon we
took up "The Grounds For Believing
In a Hereafter". This Sunday we will
face the problem of "The Nature of
the Hereafter". Come and bring your
family and friends. Our aim is al
ways to be Christian enough that all
true Christians will feel welcome and
at Home in this Church of Christ.

REPUDIATE OKLA
HOMA GOVERNOR
By EARNEST R. CHAMBERLAIN
Federated Press Staff Correspondent.
Oklahoma City. — Oklahoma has
called Governor Walton's bluff.
The governor, who dispersed a leg
islature and set himself above the
courts and the constitution, is now in
court to enjoin the certification of
election returns in which the people
by the most stupendous majority in
the history of the state have repudiat
ed the governor's dictatorship.
The day of blood-and-thunder mani
festos and shoot-to-kill orders is over.
The governor issued a call to his 22,
000 "minute men" to stop the election
Tuesday and succeeded in hindering
the vote in but three counties. In the
main the "minute men" were as invis
ible as the invisible empire itself.
The vote was not on the klan issue,
That was submerered : Strong Catholic
communities voted ten to one for the
measure which permits the legislature
to convene itself and which means the
governor's impeachment.
The Oklahoma election law which
requires a majority of all votes cast at
an election to pass an initiative, count
ing as "no" any vote which does not
express itself on all measures pro
posed, is responsible for the death of
five constitutional amendments sub
mitted with the legislative call pro
posal. Among the measures lost is
the amendment providing for work
men's compensation in case of death,
giving the women the right to hold
Others are the soldiers' bonus, à bill
state office, a bank guaranty refund
law for depositors in insolvent state
banks, and a rural school aid bill.
These were all lost because the people
in the majority failel to vote on them
at all, confining their vote to the leg
islative call proposal.
Guards are again placed about the
capitol.
A new grand jury' has been called
in Oklahoma City to probe the gov
ernor's alleged illegal acts.
One year ago Governor Walton was
elected by the greatest majority ever
given any governor in this state. In
the Oct. 2 election he was repudiated
by a majority over twice as great as
the one he formerly received.
The Red River counties, where Wal
ton received 40 epr cent of his pri
marw vote, turned against him by
votes of from 2 to 1 to 10 to 1. Union
labor strongholds in Oklahoma City,
Shawnee and Sapulpa also adminis
tered a stinging rebuke. The Social
ist strongholds administered over
whelming majorities against the gov
ernor. There was not a county in the
, state but Voted at least 2 to 1 against
the former idol.
"Iron Jack
Our Jack" turned
proved anatherraan to
Oklahoma's tenants and workers.
Governor Walton has reaped the
whirlwind. The legfal obstacles whick
now r bestrew the path to his impeach
ment may consume months of time.
They may even prove effective. The
election may be declared illegal if
moving heaven and earth can do it,
but the people have spoken in a vote
w'hic his greater than that ordinarily
cast at a special election and they
have stamped their disapproval indel
ibly upon their governor.

Four Of Five Roosevelt
County Boys Win
State Fair Honors
Poplar, Oct. .7.—A few Roosevelt
county boys who took the pains to go
out and select a corn exhibit for the
state fair at Helena are the only ones
that so far have held up the county's
reputation to the outside world as to
the quality of corn Roosevelt county
is capable of raising,
Agent D. B. Noble.
Five boys in Roosevelt county made
corn selections for the state fair, and
out of these five, four received rib
bons. Grant Trenne w'on first in yel
low' dent; Delmer Leeson second in
yellow dent; Marlin Coats third in yel
low- dent, while Loran Piercy of Bain
ville won second in Dakota w-hite flint.
"It is believed that if entries
made in the other classes, that this
county would have rated well up in
her shares of the exhibits, as it has
been demonstrated time and again,
that wre have the quality," says Mr.
Noble. "All it lacks is a little study,
effort and pains to get it together."'
