j. S. TO KEEP UP
DIRECT TAXES
Chairman Good Reports They
Must Continue Many Years
to Meet Expenses.
BILL OF FOUR BILLION
Budget System Imperative, He
Asserts, in Filing His
Report.
spec,dI Despatch 10 The Sun.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Direct taxa
| ton must continue to be the Govern
ment's main source of income for
many years because of the nations
large war debt and increased expendi-
lures as an aftermath of the war,
and Special House Budget committees
said to-day in formally reporting the
resolution providing that after July l,
1920. one budget committee shall have
charge of all appropriations.
Mr.. Good estimated that the Govern
mental expenditures will average $4,-
600 900 0OO annually for several years
instead of about 81, 900, 600, 900 as in pre-
war days Because of this, he. urged the
necessity OF the greatest possible econ
cmy and said that House leaders are
certain that more money can be saved
by having all appropriations vised by
one committee Instead OF seven, as at
! present.
The strongest opposition to the whole
| budget programme that has been reuom-
| mended by the special committee is ex-
pected on the plan to take away from
such committees as Military. Naval and
Post Office their appropriation powers
| by reason of the political influence such
! powers carry. but Mr.. Good in his re-
port urged the Representatives to sub
merge their personal ambitions to the
public good
The report in part states:
For the fiscal year ending June so,
1919. the total receipts from customs
amounted to s1S4,457,S67, while the in
ternal revenue, including income taxes
and corporation and excess profits taxes
amounted to S3,S39,950,6l2.
'It Is thus seen that in the future
! by far the greater part of the revenue
required for conducting the public busi-
ness must come from direct taxes. This,
coupled with the further fact that the
ordinary expenses for running the Gov
crnment will in the future probably ex-
ceed $4,000, ,ooo,ooo n year, vii, cause
the public to take a much greater IN
terest than heretofore in appropriations
| by Congress.
The political issues of the future will
not be centred around the tariff but
rather around the problems OF economy
as reflected in the appropriations made
by Congress If this is true Congress
must place itself in a position where 1t
can meet these problems in the most
! efficient way The .soundest and most
approved methods OF business transac-
tions must be adopted by Congress II
It is to perform well and efficiently the
duties which this new condition creates.
"The enactment of national budget
system and an Independent audit OF Gov
ernment accounts is absolutely neces-
sary. The adoption of the resolution
under consideration to complete the pro-
gramme laid down by that measure is
highly desirable"

TAKES DRASTIC STAND
COAST VESSELS HELD UP

The first steps toward ending the
longshoremen's strike, which besides
depriving more than 100000 laboring
men in New York of their pay last
week has tied up all shipping in the
port and made thousands of tons of
food inaccessible to the consumer,
were taken yesterday when the strike
committee agreed to submit the ques-
ton of returning to work to the indi-
vidual union members by referendum
vote. Balloting in some of the fifty
three locals began last night and will
continue to-day and tomorrow.
This action by the strikers was fol-
lowed last night by an ultimatum issued
in Washington by Secretary of War
Baker, who said fatty that "the ships
must and will be operated" The Secre-
tary outlined the policy of the War De-
partment as being merely an offer OF
union wages to lonsshore workers. and in
the event that the Governments work
was not handled at that rate ''use en-
listed personnel Of the army or other
labor II necessary
Secretary Bakers statement was as
follows:
Il have directed Gen. Shanks to op-
crate the army facilities at the Port OF
New York He viii employ union long
shoremen at the rate of pay provided
in the report of the Adjustment Com.
mission which have approved for tbs
War Department. Should that labor
not be available, he will use enlisted
personnel of the army or other labor
if necessary.
The ships operated by the War De-
partment are public ships. They ar
bringing back soldiers-many OF them
sick and wounded-from France and
carrying replacements and supplies T.
our army in France and Germany
These are essential war operations and
neither delay nor interference can be
Permitted. They must and will be op-

FERRY STRIKE
CUTS OFF FOOD
HarbOr Workers Back Action
Which Ends Service With

ROW OVER 8 HOUR DAY
Supplies Roof High Just Across
River as Hunger Threat
ems the City.

The Marine Workers Affiliation ap-
proved yesterday the strike OF the
Railroad, Port and Terminal Union,
which began without warning late Fri
day night and deprived the Railroad
Administration Of the use of nearly all
of It's ferryboats, tugs and lighters,
which transport thousands OF people
and carloads of perishable foodstuffs
In New York harbor each day.
The approval, expressed in a vote
that binds all classes of harbor work
ers. from ferryboat captains and engi-
neers to pier freight handlers, not to
work with strikebreakers, adds an
other embargo to ti.at established by
the longshoremen against the food
stuffs that are being piled roof high IN
Jersey piers and storage warehouses
while the city's supply dwindles. The
Railroad Administration might find 1t
possible to recruit workers to fill the
places of the relatively unskilled mem
bers of the Harbor, Port and Termi-

men--but the captains, pilots and en-
gineers who are members OF the unions
of the affilistion. as most of them are
are bound by a vote that was adopted
without dissent after a long meeting
that had been anything but har-
monious.
Many Supplies Menaced.
The effect of the vote probably will be
! to abridge or altogether stop the ferry
| service maintained under difficulties by
! the Lackawanna railroad. 1t also Is
likely to frustrate efforts of the Railroad
administration to keep part OF its tugs
and lighters at work carrying freight.

A meeting of the county commits
sioners of the new county of Roose-
velt will be held very soon for the
purpose of organizing the new county,
naming the temporary county seat,
the county printer, and appointing
deputies.
Until such time as the organization
is completed and records transferred
to Mondak, all official papers will be
kept at Plentywood.
The bill creating the county was
passed by a good majority in both
house and senate, and went to the gov
ernor for his signature on February
18th. According to his expressed pol
icy of neither signing nor vetoing
county division bills, Governor Stew
art allowed the bill to remain in his
hands for the customary ten days,

thence south six miles, thence east
six miles, south six miles; thence east
between 81 and 32 to North Dakota
line. The other lines are the same
as those of present Sheridan county

by comparing the following list with
the original list printed a few weeks
ago:

FIRST VICTIM OF
NEW GOVERNMENT

Although perhaps some people do
not realize it, Nashua is now under a
government of it's own, and the vii
lage council is enacting certain or
dinances and laws which will be rig
idly enforced.
The first man prosecuted under the
new government was Paul Valacek,
who was arrested for allowing two
head of cattle to run at large within
the Incorporated limits. The cattle
were empounded AND Paul brought be-
fore the police magistrate for punish
ment. Owing to the fact that he was
ignorant of the new ordinance no fine
was emposed although he was required
to pay the empounding charges. If
you are not familiar with the new laws
we would advise you to look them up
at once. More will be enacted and
they will be published in these col
umns before they are put in force

BRIGHT FUTURE

Mr.. Hover is recognized as the liv-

SHERIDAN COUNTY
CONTEST CASES DECIDED
B. X. O'Grady Wins Over James T.
Redmond, and A. A. Majors Over
Mrs. Ben H. Johnson.

The contest cases for the offices of
county auditor and clerk and recorder
of Sheridan county were tried last
week before Judge Thompson of Kali
ispell, who was called in by Judge
Hurry. By stipulation of counsel
both cases were tried together.
The Judge decided in favor of B. K.
O'Grady against James T. Redmond
for the office of auditor, and A. A.
Majors against Mrs. Ben H. johnson,
for the office of clerk and recorder.
B. K. Wheeler of Butte was coun-
sci for O'Grady and Majors, Babcock
and Ellery of Plentywood represented
Redmond and johnson.
It is very probable that appeals
will be taken in both cases.
