GOVERNOR KILLS
STATE SCHOOLS
FOR FIVE TOWNS
Dillon Normal Suffices
for Years to Come, He
Says in Message.
PUTS QUESTION OVER
FOR EFFICIENCY BOARD
Special to The Daily Tribune.

Special to The Daily Tribune.
Helena. March Ex-Governor S. V.
Stewart tonight vetoed all of the normal
school bills proposed in bills of the last
legislature. The governor considered
the measures at length and did not act
upon them until the last day. The gov
ernor set out in his veto message that
Montana will not need six normal schools
for, many years and that this was the
attitude of many members of the legis-
lature as well. The state board of edu-
cation went on record at meeting in
January in which it adopted a resolution
against any more normal schools at this
time. The proposed schools were to be
located at Lewistown, Billings, Terry.
Malta and Kalispell.
The governor said that the normal
school bills were used for logrolling in
the legislature knowing that the bills
would be vetoed.
The most pertinent reason for vetoing
these bills is that the state efficiency
commission which will investigate and
recommend changes in the state gov
ernment will also take up the normal
school question along with many others
and settle the state governmental diff
ferences for some time to come If pos
sible.
Do Not Need Six Normals.
The veto message is given here in full:
Each of these five bills seeks the
establishment of state normal school
at some town or city in the state OF
Montana. The eqnestipR whether this
state should have morE normal schools

a debatable one. Very well informed
citizens maintain that there should be
one or more additional schools. Others
who are equally well informed along
educational lines, and who are equally
familiar with the situation in Montana,
insist that there is no persistent neces-
sity for more normal schools. It is not
necessary for me to go into this question
at great length. / may. however. at the

bolshevik will have big advantage when
the rivers open. The Dvina and Vaga
rivers will be navigable near the fighting
front before the Dvina opens up further
north near Archangel. This condition
would permit the bolshevik gunboats to
reach the vicinity of Beresniki before the
allied flotilla can steam southwark to
meet them.
Efforts are being made, however, to
speed up the arrival Of the allied fleet in
the fighting zone. in order to confine the
bolshevik advantage to the shortest time
possible. In the meantime, rs long as
the present cold weather continues, it is
race against time to move over the
snow, before the thaw comes, sufficient
big guns and ammunition to hold the en-
emy boats in control until the allied YES
sells can move southwark. In this work,

EXCHANGE HIT AS
BY BOMB LONDON
SHAKY ON DROP
Waivers Between Inset
tlenent and Halt on
Piling Debt.

London. March 21.-Cables on sterling
exchange fell to $3.50 pound in London,
today, when announcement was made
that government support of exchange
had ceased.
The announcement from United States
sources that the government had with
drawn its support from exchange
dropped as bombshell on the market
where dollars fell to $4.52 a pound sterl-
ing and later sagged to $3.50.
Opinion in official circles as to the
advisablity Of letting the transfer rate
seek a natural level is somewhat divided.
Those in favor of removing restric-
tions say that the time has come for the
British authorities to cease such ex
pens;ve support in keeping up the arti-
ficial rate Of $4.76. They also believe
that the activity in the purchase OF
sterling exchange will check the piling
up of the British indebtedness to the
United States, slacken imports from the
United States and stimulate exports.
Opposed to this view are some Bri-
tisll, Anglo American bankers and ex-
change dealers who believe that the
move is unfortunate at the present time.
rs it will unsettle trade and accentuate
the already unsettled condition. They
point out that stability is required and,
while the rate is permitted to fluctuate
rapidly. merchants who bought cotton
and other goods now have to pay five or
six per cent more on their money.
One authority advocates that the
allies should arrange fixed rates of ex
change for international trade until the
gold standard of trading is re-established.
In spite of the unsettled condition OF
trade here, the belief is expressed that
the removal on control will cause lower
prices for commodities in the United
st ties.

Helena, March 21.-Montana is not to
have the privilege of manufacturing one
half per cent beer, voted by the legisla-
ture just adjourned. Governor Stewart,
today, killed the legislation by vetoes.
The vetoes disapproved of house bill
43O and senate bill 81, known as the
liquor bills.
The governor also approved some bills
senate bill No. 8, providing for the
creation of new counties by the residents
of the area to be divided, and house
bill 159, which gives to state control OF
labor agent employment agencies.
In vetoing house bill 43O. aimed to
permit the manufacture of liquor con-
tanning five-tenths Of one per cent of al
eohol and senate bill 81, the governor
said of the letter:
by no stretch of imagination can it
be called prohibition bill. On the con-
trary, l am inclined to think that it
might well be designated a repeal of the
prohibition laws of the state
In vetoing senate bill 81. Governor
Stewart set precedent against liquor
bills. styling the bill as .'the best one
can say for them is that they will be the
Little Brothers to the Big Booze, and
we all know from experience that little
boys grow into big men. Some manufac-
turers, by careful concealment and 9TH
er artifice, might cause the alcoholic
content standardized by the statute at
not more than one-half of / per cent to
surreptitiously grow to larger ma
turity."

tended to be in aid of the prohibition
law adopted by the people in 1916, and
of the enforcement act passed by the
Fifteenth legislative assembly. The bill,
however, was amended during its pas
sage thru the legislative bodies until it's
author would hardly recognize it. BY
no stretch of the imagination can the
proposed measure now be called a pro-
hibition bill. On the contrary, l am in
clined to think that it might we'll be de-
signed a repeal of the prohibition laws

''The Fourteenth legislative assembly
enacted a measure submitting the pro-

BAKER PLAYED
GAME Of L.W.W.,
Army MAN SAYS
Gave Pacifist Organiza-
ton Comfort Asserts
Court-Martialler.
FALSE TREATED SAME As
TRUE DIRECTORS, AYERS

Kansas City, March 21.-Perfection of
d pacifist organization in such clever
manner that it has reached 'the friends
of most active departments Of the gov
ernment-the war department" was
charged in an address. today, by MAJOR
Dick B. Foster, member of court
martial Mt Camp Funston, Kas., that
tried 1876 alleged conscientious obJectors.
He accused Secretary of War Baker
with Intentionally or unintentionally aid
ing and assisting the l. w. W., interna-
tional socialists and numanitarlans IN
their program of blocking conscription of
the army by extending and pervertlng
the acts of congress for the protection,
comfort and solace of these obstruction
lists"
In giving you this story of conscien-
tous objectors, want to assure you l
have no particular reason for doing so,
Major Foster declared.
II am an American citizen, an ex-
officer of the United States army and.
as SUCH feel that every American is en-
titled to know conditions which surround
ed the induction into the army OF the
true conscientious objectors and the
false conscientious obiectors, who are
Industrial Workers. International Social
lists. Anarchists and sackers.
''The gravity of the situation is not
realized by the American people
Describes 0bjectors' Riotousness.
The speaker then charged that the sec
rotary of war had given aid to the OBJ
jectors and then read paragraphs from
what he declared were official orders,
providing that all those having personal
scruples against war should be CON
strued as conscientious objectors.'
let me impress upon you what the
secret orders meant" Major Foster con-
tinued. 1T meant that every soldier in
the United States army could have at any
time gone to his commanding officer and
upon stating that he was opposed to war,
taken off his uniform and refuse to do
military service
The officer related how objectors who
were in the guard house, awaiting trial,
would refuse to line up for mess, throw
ing themselves upon the ground. kicking
and screaming. The objectors set up a !
hunger strike. he said. and ratified their
mess kits for hours at a time and could
not be stopped.
Going Limit, Baker Felt.
In the midst of this condition. Ma
jor Foster went on, I'VE took from a
conscientious objector a circular sent
out by Upton Sinclair, socialist editor,
in which he reprinted letter from
Newton ID. Baker to the president Of the
United States, answering the president
in regard to complaint Sinclair had
made of mistreatment of socialists.
The letter said;
Il think however, ne should be in |
formed that we are now doing absolutely
all that public opinion will stand in the ),
