...Bonner had promised to enforce the compulsory-education law and compel the unruly Sons to send their children to school. As opening day approached, indications grew that the Sons were getting set to defy Bonner and the "manmade" school law. Railway dynamitings and house-burnings, two favorite methods of Freedomite protest, broke out around their settlements in the mountainous Kootenay district. Several hundred Freedomites left their homes and set up a tent village at Perry Siding. None of their children showed up for classes when school opened. Instead, the parents stripped for their demonstration...
Montana. Republican Newcomer J. Hugo Aronson took the governorship from Democratic Incumbent John W. Bonner. Aronson, 61, known as the "galloping Swede," has had a rags-to-riches rise: a penniless immigrant from Sweden in 1911, he became a prosperous farmer and oilman, has served one term in the state legislature, campaigned for business principles in government.

As Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Materiel after the war, K. B. Wolfe was concerned over the backward state of U.S. aircraft armament. Convinced that private enterprise could do a better job than the Army, he talked to Emil Georg Bührle, owner of Oerlikon and probably Switzerland...
According to Green, he and his partners had done nothing outside the law. He was shocked when North Carolina's mild-mannered Congressman Herbert Bonner pointed out a flaw in Green's operations: he had failed to pay a 5% excise tax in his multimillion-dollar operation. The Philippine deal "stinks," said Bonner. It may not be illegal, he added, but it is "morally terrible ... We are in this one to stay for a while...
