The Washington Post opines on the postwar era arguing that the nation abandoned its role as world leader after forty billion dollars and fifty thousand lives were spent in World War I. It credits Senators Borah and Walsh for strong leadership and urges their re election to the United States Senate.
Both William E. Borah of Idaho and Thomas J. Walsh of Montana share an odd similarity in their senate bids. Each hails from adjoining states and stands as highly able, though neither is the nominal party leader, yet both command exceptional influence through recognized ability. The piece notes Borah’s unmatched capacity to command attention among colleagues, likening him to Webster and Clay in impact.
The piece argues against a proposed gross proceeds metal mines tax in Montana, detailing how the levy would be calculated, arguing it taxes gross value rather than net profit, and risks driving investors to other states. It cites impacts on Silver Bow and Deer Lodge, notes past Anaconda losses, and references Coolidge.
Film development work at the Fairchild Studio, formerly Weenink’s, is noted in a brief item. The note lists Fairchild Studio as the site for processing and development of motion pictures, with reference to past affiliation with Weenink’s.
