XX ROOSEVELT LAYS HIS PLANS BEFORE KANSAS FARM CROWD DECLARES FOR NATIONAL PLANNING IN AGRICUL TURAL PRODUCTION Speaking to great audience of farmers at Topeka, Wednesday, Franklin D. Roosevelt, governor of New York, outlined a program call ing for "national planning in ag riculture" and declared the admin istration's efforts for farm relief had failed. He termed the activi ties of the Farm Board as "specu lative" and said they must come to an end. Six points upon which he said most of the "reasonable leaders" of agriculture had agreed in their efforts to "restore agriculture to economic equality with other in dustries within the United States" were cheered by the crowd. He said the "claim that the republican dis criminatory tariff methods are a benefit to the farmer is a cynical and pitiless fraud" and that more republican tariffs might be expect >■ ed from "the present republican leadership." )» ) Speaks at Capitol Mr. Roosevelt spoke from a plat form erected atop the steps of the state capitol to a crowd estimated by national guardsmen at more than 10,000 persons. As permanent steps in his pro gram, Reorganization of the agriculture department to supply the adminis trative machinery needed to build a program of national planning. Formulation of a definite policy looking to the planned use of land, including mapping and classifica tion of land to determine which is best suited to determine production and which for trees. National leadership in the reduc tion and more equitable distribution of taxes, including a national move to reorganize local gov&rh men ment to direct the elimination of of the tax burden from the some farms. His emergency proposals called for refinancing farm mortgages "to believe the burden of excessive in terest charges and the grim threat of foreclosure." The second immediate necessity, he said, was to provide a means of bringing about through governmen tal effort a substantial reduction in the difference between the prices of the things the farmer sells those he buys. He added that one to attack this was by the res international trade through tariff readjustments. He said the democratic tariff pol icy consisted in large measure of negotiating agreements with indi way toration of PETER JOHNSON DIES SUDDENLY Funeral services were held Sun day afternoon at the Clayton un dertaking parlors for Peter John who died suddenly Friday son, morning. The services were con ducted by the Rev. O. R. A. Tollef of the First Lutheran church, son and were attended by a number of the friends and acquaintances of Mr. Johnson. Peter Johnson was born in Aale Norway, in March 1868. the son of Johnannes and Ri gene Johnson. He came to the United States in 1888. In 1906 he took up land near Alexander, Mc Kenzie county, North Dakota, and proved up his homestead there. Twelve or 13 years ago he came to this section of Montana, living the Southside first and later buying land about ten miles north the Volt road. He had long suf fered from asthma, and it is be lieved that death was caused by a He son, was on on heart attack. His body was found Friday morning a little distance from his shack by Mrs. George Hagen who reported the death. Two brothers and a sister survive. They are Sakarius Johnson of Alex ander, N. Dak. who was here for the funeral, Hans Johnson of Port a former Wolf Point resi land, dent ,and Mrs. Blate Wallen of Straden, Norway. J. B. OVERTON DIES J. B. Overton, who was a resi dent of the Southside for many years, died last Friday, the cause being heart trouble from which he had suffered for some time. He is survived by several children, all of them grown with the exception of a 14-year old son. Funeral services were held Sat urday and burial was made here. vidual countries permitting them to sell goods to this country in re turn for the privilege of selling American goods to them. Six-Point Plan Leading up to his six-point plan: the democratic nominee declared; " I want now to state what seems to me the specifications upon which most of the reasonable leaders of agriculture have agreed, and to ex press here and now my whole-heart ed accord with these specifica tions" The specifications were: "First—The plan must provide j for the producer of staple surplus commodities, such as wheat, cot ton, corn (in the form of hogs), and tobacco, a tariff benefit over world prices which is equivalent to the benefit given by the tariff to Industrial products. This dif ferential benefit must he so ap plied that the increase in farm in come purchasing and debt paying power will not stimulate further production. "Second—The plan must finance itself. Agriculture has at no time sought and does not now seek such access to the public treasury as was provided by the futile and cost ly attempts at price stabilization by the federal farm hoard, seeks only equality of opportunity with tariff-protected industry. "Third—It must not make use of any mechanism which would cause our European customers to retali ate on the grounds of dumping. It must be based upon making the tariff effective and direct in its operation. "Fourth—It must make use of existing agencies and so far as pos sible be decentralized in its admin istration so that the chief respon sibility for its operation will rest with the locality rather than with nevL ci eated bureaucratic mach inery in Washington. "Fifth—It must operate as near ly as possible on a cooperative basis and its effect must he to en hance and strengthen the coopera tive movement. It should, more over, he constituted so that it can be withdrawn whenever the emer gency has passed, and normal for eign markets have been re-estab lished. "Sixth—The plan must be, inso far as possible, voluntary, I like the he It put into operation unless it has the support of a reasonable pro portion of the producers of the ex portable commodity to which it is to apply. It must be so organized that the benefits will go to the man who participates. LEAVITT'S STAND ON PROHIBITION Last Spring when the Beck-Lin thicum hill was brought rather sud denly before the national House of Representatives Scott Leavitt vot ed against it. Great numbers of his constituents petitioned him to do so. The measure was aimed at un qualified repeal of the prohibition amendment, which simply means the return of the saloon. His op ponents are now spreading the propaganda that he is opposed to popular vote on the question. The Second district congressman was at Malta last week and was interviewed by Editor Larcombe of the Phillips County News. The News is today publishing the interview which contains the following statement. "It has been brought to my at tention that there exists in this dis. trict an impression that by my neg a ative vote on the Beck-Linthicum measure during the last congress I denied the Montanans of this dis trict an opportunity to express themselves in a proposed referen dum on the prohibition question. This impression is entirely in error. I am not opposed to permit ting the people to express them selves on a properly worded amend ment to the eighteenth amendment which will prevent the return of the old saloon system in any form and which will also guarantee the protection of staSes which wish to remain dry. This does not mean that I have changed my own personal views regarding the liquor traffic, but it does mean that I recognize the right of the people to express them selves in, accordance with their own convictions." Scott Leavitt Coin Car Turns Over Occupants Badly Bruised When Mr. and Mrs. Earl Goin from northeast of Poplar were re turning Monday from the Valley fair they had the misfortune to have their car upset near Toulee Creek. Both were badly bruised and were brought to Wolf Point for medical care. They were lucky not to have been more seriously hurt than they were. SWIFT WORK BY THE LAW'S ARMS ROVING GENTS WANTED RIDE, AND GOT LONG ONE—TO DEER LODGE People living on West Main, j'ust west of the Farmers Union Oil station heard a noise, two o' clock Thursday morning. Peeked through window, saw men rolling a Ford coupe by hand away from the house occupied by Ted Will. Ted was tipped off to the game. only a block away. Car was locat ed by Todd near the stock yards with two colored gents inside, j'ust about set for a long, fast ride. Judge Paul came from Glasgow that same morning on his way to Plentywood. Direct information filed. "Guilty or not guilty?" "Guilty, your Honor", (both of them) "One year, hard labor. Deer Lodge" (for each) Names; Jack Brown, James Rich ard. Pete Courchene had also plead ed guilty, to forgery, and received a sentence of one year, morning a party was made up of Sheriff Lowe, Deputy Charlie Man ning, Brown, Richard and Courch ene. All ticketed for Deer Lodge. "Well," said the sheriff, to the colored men, "how to you feel now, hoys?" "Just fine, Boss. I's a prize Utah. Won the last leben fights by knock outs. If I could have one mo' good fight it would be just right." Henry Lowe is known as an ac commodating county official. But of course he cannot be expected to accommodate everybody. Still, he gave Jack and James a ride. And only about 30 hours after they put in their order.

STARS WIN 2-GAME BALL CARD DRAWS BIGGEST CROWD OF THE SEASON VIDA LOSES PENNANT IN 9TH MALTA-SACO STARS ARE OUT-PLAYED The local baseball season devel oped a real climax in the two-game program at ball park Sunday. Two good games—one of them a world series thriller, and a gate of over 8200. Governor Erickson was pres ent and threw the first ball of the County league game, gave him a rousing cheer. A game between an all-star team from the Malta and Saco communi ties met Red Brandon's Northeast Montana stars, game hang-over from the '31 sea son. Vida and Culbertson played the deciding game of their County lea gue pennant series. The receipts the The crowd It was a. return games. The game between the Stars was played first and displayed some good ball although the final score was lop-sided.

Vida-Culbertson The struggle for the county pen nant was a game to keep the fans on their toes and exercising their lungs from the first ball to the final out. The big delegation from each town did loyal jobs of root ing and the rest of the crowd sup plied its quota of noise. The usual complete score was not received from the official scor. er so the lineups and some of the more important features are all that can be given. The hatting and pitching appears to have been pretty even and for four innings there was no scoring. In the 6th, G. Singleton hit, made third on an error and scored on a fly to center. Vida was giving Dye good support and Brown was keeping the hits well scattered. After that nobody crossed the plate till Culbertson's half of the ninth. Hale, Reiter and Mloen hit in quick succession and Moen's slam was long enough to bring his team-mates home. That was the end of the scoring. George Loendorf made a brave start Ru rally, in Vida's half, that should have at least tied the count, with a a two-bagger that might have been stretched to three. But Williams fanned. G. Singleton walked. Sorley Hied out and Nefzger was thrown out by Brown. From reports pick ed up it was a nip and tuck, fast clean, thriller all the way. The Herald man Was delayed at Glas gow by a car break and saw only the last three innings of the see ond game. The players and batting orders: Culbertson—Hagen 2b, Hill lb, Olsen c, Nicholson ss, Brown p. Hale If. Rei'.er 3b, Moen rf, Bowers cf. Vida—H. Loendorf if. Dye p, M. Singleton ss, Toay c, G.

Second game —Breeby and McCabe. There was much favorable comment on the good work of the officials. Breeby especially satisfied fans and play ers. Altogether it was a great wind up for this season and fine boost for 1933. One Sox Team Likely To Get Well Socked The South Socks will play the North Socks in a desperate game of baseball next Sunday, Sept. 18. at the Oscar Erickson farm north east of town.

Grain. vegetables, flowers, dairy products, needle work, 4-!H and school work—all were surprisingly excellent. A long procession of well bred dairy and beef stock was paraded in front of the grandstand while County Agent Willson told all about them over the announcing system. There was plenty of class in the fine pro gram of races, including several horses owned or known here. Points From Speeches Governor Erickson stressed the value of irrigation. He said it is a fine thing to have roads which in vite people to come into the state, but it is much better to have some thing to offer which will induce them to remain here. Irrigation would increase the productivity of the land and enable ns to develop our soil resources. He said that when vast sums were spent de veloping eastern and southern riv ers and harbors, that was all right, when the south was given assist ance to fight the boll weavil, that was all right, when the Panama canal was built, that was all right, and it is equally all right that, the farming industry in the northwest be given assistance. He said that while Montana needs assistance in developing her agriculture, at the same time the east needs a mar ket for her goods. Greater pros perity; in Montana means more orders going east for automobiles, and hundreds of other tilings. COMMITTEE ON HOSPITAL NAMED At, the Monday noon luncheon of the Lions President Jensen an- j nounced that President Camrud of i the Commercial club and himself, after careful consideration had chosen as the committee of five on the hospital project: Hugh N. | John H. Marron, F. E. Rathert. Coffey, A. T. Listug and John Her- ! man. At the Lions Monday meeting on September 5. the matter of a mod ern hospital was discussed after hearing the offer of Miss Margaret Beddor of Terry, and a motion was passed instructing the president to name a committee of five from members of the Lions and the Com mercial clubs. Miss Beddor's proposition, as set forth in last week's Herald, was to bring from Terry her complete outfit of hospital equipment and .'urnish and conduct on terms to be agreed upon, a small modern hos pital if a suitable building is pro vided by this community. The op portunity is recognized as except ional. Miss Beddor is a graduate nurse with much experience. The equipment she owns Ss new and off the best quality. It is hoped that this able committee will find means of financing the enterprise. Congressman Scott Leavitt call j ed attention to the fact that there i are more federal aid irrigation pro j jects in Montana than in any oth I er state in the union. The comple i tion of the Roosevelt highway was an example of a federal aid pro ject. Because of muddy roads be tween Great Falls and Fort Bent he had had considerable troub j on, ; le the previous day in getting to Havre. He recalled that in 1919, | when he was sent to Duluth to con fer with the Roosevelt highway committee, the plan was to have the T. R. highway turn southwest from Havre and pass through Great Falls and Helena over what was then considered a finished piece of highway. Mr. Leavitt's argument, which caused the committee to take the route which was finally com pleted. was that it would be no particular honor to Theodore Roose. velt to follow trails, but that it would be much fitting to blazon a new trail o 1 d established more ests. And so the present route was adopted. To him it was a signifi cant thing that the highway which 13 years ago had been considered a finished piece of work, is now almost impassable under certain weather conditions, while a fine, gravelled, all-weather highway had been constructed across the en tire length of the state.

Mr. Meier makes j regular trips to Circle and Brock j way as well as Wolf Point with | his melons. Ions this season, a new variety which he had never tried before which proved especially productive and of excellent quality. They are netted and gray-green in color somewhat similiar to the famous "Rocky Fords" and are known as "Rocky Fords." Delivered right off the vines they are ripe, juicy and
