side how they shall meet a national

crisis.
Senator Reed Smoot, member Of the
Senate Finance Committee, made this
statement today a. q comment upon
the national defense program.
"As now proposed" said Senator
Smoot, "the proposed national defense
program involves an expenditure Of
more than one billion dollars; the OK.
penditure. however, to cover q period
OF five years. That expenditure must
be financed.
"How shall it be done? That is q
question voters must answer one year
later. 1t is a grave responsibility.
thoroughly believe that there can be,
and will be. but one course to pursue
That is to elect a republican president
and republican congress-.
"The republican party is the only
one that in policy and performance
has proven adequate to meet such q
situation. Considered from every
angle the democratic party has demon
strated its inability and unfltness for
the task.
Remember that the balance of trade
against US during the four months pre-
ceding the war, at time when demo-
cratic policies aud laws were in effect.
was $24S, 100000. What a political
blessing the war was to the democratic
party.
"1n two years the democratic admin
istration has produced such business
conditions that. but for the purely ac-
oidentsl stimulus Of q foreign war, we
would now be in the throes OF a panic
Eliminate the market created by tenn
porary artificial Europsan demands,
and American industry would be pros
trRted,
"Psst history has proven the only
way the democratic party, whom in
power, has been able to meet the ex-
srsvagent appropriations made by
them for the ordinary running expsn. X.
ses of the government, was by the sale
of bonds. A bond issue ia inevitable
whether q national defense pruQram is
undertaken or not.
In two years the democratic admins.
trstion has passed scores of worthless
laws. The insertion Of meaningless
phrases In statutes, the constant VIC.
lation OF the simplest legislative rules,
have brought about more costly and
needless federal litigation that We have
ever known before.
'ln two years the dem mocratic admin
tstration has created an enormous de
dcit in our treasury, and has not ad-
vanced single plan for meeting Il.
The proposed re.enactment of the
sugar duty and the war tax Law only
retains present revenues. Bond Issues
are nothing but loans that must be
paid for in the future.
"The democratic party has not q
policy In its platform. q law to It's
credit, nor plan to propose, that will
meet the financial crisis inevitably i'm
posed by the national defense program.
"A return Of the republican party to
power seems to me not only national
necessity hut a foregone conclusion. 4"

SnERlfFS TO COLLECT
State Legal Department Gives Important
Opinion on Tax Collection


Opinion on Tax Collection
Pierre, Nov. 5.-That collection Of
delinquent personal property taxes is
under the complete control of the
sheriff from and after the tenth of No
vember Of each year, is q holding Of
the attorney general, which will be of
special interest to the county treasur-
ers and sheriffs of this state. The
holding on inquiry from the states at
torney of Perkins county lays down
the rule as understood by the state
legal department under the provisions
of the 1913 act for collection Of such
taxes. The opinion is long one and
Is summarized in the findings that the
law requires the delinquent personal
property tax list to be turned over to
the sheriff on the tenth of November
OF each year. 1t is his duty and
province to use all the means In his
power to COLLECT the same and the list
Is in his hands fer that purpose until
the last day OF September of the year
following it's delivery to him. After
that date no attempt shall be made to
collect such delinquent personal taxes,
except upon order of the board of
county commissioners. Further, not
until this stage is the treasurer author.
lied to advertise such personal prop
erty taxes as lien against the real
estate and he is also given the right of
remedy In action In circuit court II he
SO desires to compel such pay ment Of
personal taxes. It is held that the
placing Of the delinquent personal
property tax list in the hands of the
sheriff and fixing specific fees and
mileage for his services In such collec-
tion. was especially intended TO give
such official financial induoement
toward effort In such collections and
thus assist on such collections.

game Of football he had ever played in.
Each time he was called upon he made
good gains. Gibson's place was filed
BY K. March, who played very good
game also breaking thru Lads line

The most crippled place on the team
was with Dean "Sosie" Eastman. the
quarter back. The doctor's orders were
not to play but he disobeyed them and
had his leg bandaged and entered the
game. He ewasunsble to run interfersnce
or with the ball, therefore our back flsld

HARRY WEST SUICIDES
Brother Tells Tragic Story Of Man Who
tlung Himself Recently

Hung Himself Recently
Clearing up the mystery surround
Ing the suicide by hanging recently of
Harry d. West, c. A. West travelling
man of Sioux City, Iowa, brother of
the dead man. arrived in Billings to-
day with the statement that iDjuries
received by Harry in an accident more
than four years ago were practically
the direct cause of the act.
Notified that his brother was i'll at
Edgemont, South Dakota, O. A. West
left Chsdron, Nebraska, arrived at
Edgemont, found that the brother had
disappeared, and started In pursuit,
presuming that Harry had left for the
home OF another brother, George H.
West. at Ashland, Montana. In Sheri-
day he received word that the dement,
ed man had killed himself on the
Williamson ranch four miles east of
Billings.
The case is perhaps the strangest
the local sheriff office has encounter.
ed In more than q year. It is declared
BY Q. A. West that unreasoning fear Of
confinement In an insane asylum com
pelled his brother to kill himself. Mr..
West expressed the belief that his
brother, rational greater part of the
time. felt an attack of insanity ap-
proschtng and fed to escape an asylum.
The belief that he wss.i in full possession
of his faculties shortly before leaving
Edgemont is substsntiated. It is said.
by the fact that he wound up his busi..
ness affairs in efficient manner. paid
bis bills, and conferred on q business
friend power o: attorney to transact
personal matters.
After that his manner became IRA.
tional, and his friends notified the
brother who is now in Billings. Be.
fore he could reach Edgemont, Harry
had disappeared, aud the brother con-
tinued to Montana In fear that the
other had suicidal Intentions, but in
the hope that he might be able to over
take him In time. The brother arrived
here nearly twenty.four hours too late.
Mr.. West explained Wednesday.
that four years ago his brother fell
under horse and received injuries
about ehe head which resulted In spas-
modic attacks Of insanity. In the hope
of curing him permanently, he was
placed in an asylum. He grew better
and was released, and it is said he de-
clared at the time that he would kill
himself before he ever would enter
another asylum. During his rational
moments, it is said, he conducted his
stock business At Edgemont and Rum
ford. South Dakota, in q systematic
manner.
"Approsching insanity and fear of
an asylum are the only reasons can
assign for the act," said the brother
this morning. "Harry had no reason
other than these to do away with him
