"Hell Fighters" Band,
Fresh From France, Coming

That dear, old French woman, who
executed a hesitation step or two in
the presence of the whole town Of
Alike lie Bans, when Jim Europe's
band (the Three Hundred and Sixty
ninth U. S. Infantry, Hell Fighters,D
was playing jazz, expressed in her
own way the feeling that made the
French people shower silver and
golden cups upon the members of the
famous band.
Lieutenant James Reese Europe and
his siAty-tive musicians. who were
the inspiration of the fighting dough
| boys. and about whom Irwin Cobb,
Lincoln Eyre, Ray Carroll. Martin
Green and other war correspondents
have written in glowing terms, will
be heard here at the Orpheum tho
afternoon and night of March lS. and
| folks will be able to Judge for them
selves why France went jazz mad

1t was declared to be the best band
over there"
The story of the old lady of AK lie
Bains has been told in many news
papers and magazines throughout the
country. 1t happened during the time
the band was stationed in the town
mentioned. to entertain the troops in
rest billets and keep up the spirits of
the people. The band made it's first
appearance and after an opening ad-

Lieutenant Europe was a fighting

Reds Win Ball Series
With the Betting in Favor of the
White Sox on Opening Day of
World Series, Cincinnati Reds
Show Class and Come Out in the
Lead.

With the betting against them on
the opening day of the big world
series played at Chicago and Cincin-
natl, the Reds battled bravely to the
front and won five of the eight
games, much to the sorrow of those
betting on Chicago, and the Red sup
po1ters are carrying jubilant smile
which means told you so. If any
one takes exception to this state
! ment, it can be verified by Mr.. Gavin
at the court house.
Much excitement and round table
conversation has been caused by these
series in Plentywood as we'll as all
other parts of the U. S. When Gin
cinnati won the first two games it
looked as though the Reds were going
to make clean sweep but the White
Sox came back and frightened the
hearts of their supporters by winning
one game. Cincinnati then won an:
other. The fifth game was won by
the White sox. Cincinnati took the
sixth. The White Sox came back and
grabbed the seventh. The series now
stood CINCINNATI Reds games, Chi
cago White Sox 3 games. Thursday
the suspense was over, when Cincin.
natl took the 9th game of the series
and won the championship.
The winning players share fo1
the series was over $4,000 apiece anc
the losing players share was about
81, 900 each.

CLASSIFICATION HEARING
SET OVER TILL MONDAY

ut is beyond the power Of legisla-
tion to compel county, or several
counties to assume a burden imposed
upon the State itself by terms of the
constitution, which are mandatory
and prohibitory."
Sec. l of Art. ~ of the Constitu-
ton, says:
al s3as1 revenue for. the
h5a dft 4itd nance
shall be provided by the legislative
assembly, which shall levy as uniform
rates of assessment and taxation, and
shall prescribe such regulation as
shall secure a just valuation for tax
alton Of all property, etc."
Howard M. Lewis has filed the
usual demurrer alleging that the plead
ings of the plaintiff does not state
facts constituting cause of action
which will raise the point of the con-
stitutionality both of the act of the
legislature directing the work and al
so the legality Of the contract en-
tered into by the Board Of County
Commissioners in letting a contract
involving 2 sum of more than $4,000
without first submitting the same to
a vote Of the people as the law pro-
vides. Besides the contract was let
with entire disregard to business prin-
ciples when the contract was let in
spite Of the fact that several engi-
neering firms had asked for chance
to bid.
The farmers of Sheridan county
have made up their minds that this
policy Of letting contracts involving
large sums of money without adver-
tising for competitive bids must
cease-for it is the belief of every
one that when this method is adopted,
it is adopted because there has been
a bribery some place and at least the
doors are open at all times for the
official to let the contract to the firms
who pay the most for the contract
to the officials letting the contract
It is a safe conclusion that if Messrs
Matkins and Timmons were letting d
private contract affecting their own
private interests, involving a sum like
thirty thousand dollars, they would
have given everybody a chance to
bid.
When big contracts are let without
bids, anyone is justified in asking
WHY, and usually everyone starts to
speculate on the size of the "cutback. u
Money is coming in by mail to de-
fray the expense of the trial and we
trust that it will continue to do so,
for any farmer in the county that
owns a half section of land can af-
ford to send in 81 bill to save the
paying of $6.40. Clip the coupon be-
low and do your bit at once so that
we can have the money to defray the
expenses Of this suit as fast as the
money is needed. This case is at
tracing state wide attention and will
be a law maker for the state before
it is ended.

FARMERS SENDING IN
MONEY TO ANTI-LOOT FUND

'' The injunction suit filed bwC Chil
Stoner in behalf Of the taxpayers last
week through their attorneys, Onstad
& Greer, against the County Com
missioners and Blakeslee e. Lock
wood, classification contractors, to
prevent the County Commissioners
from carrying out this grating con-
tract which was let without bids, and
which case was set for hearing Wed,
nesday afternoon at 200 o'clock, was
continued by Judge Conner until next
Monday, October 18th, if it can be
taken up that day, which will be
doubtful.
Judge Conner was called away to
try cases in another district as re-
ported last week and was unable to
get back in time to try the case We'd
nesday.
There We're a crowd Of representa-
tive farmers from different parts of
the county in Plentywood to hear the
case Wednesday who were very dis
appointed because of the delay. These
farmers will attend the trial Monday
or when the case is called providing
they can find out when the case will
be tried. This action is attracting a
lot of attention all over the state and
we understand that Attorney Hurd of
the law firm of Norris & Hurd of
Helena will be here to assist Atty
Howard M. Lewis for Blakeslec d
Lockwood and it is understood that
other engineers in the state are en-
ploying Mr.. Hurd because if the in
junction is sustained in Sheridan
county and the decision is affirmed in
the Supreme Court as it is very likely
to be, it will mean that this graft
will be nipped in the bud all over the
state and millions, of dollars saved
thereby to the taxpayers.
Attorneys Onstad & Greer say that
they are not worried because of the
heavy artillery the contractors arc
bringing up in this case because of
the fact that they have the law on
their side and that any court will
have a difficult time in overruling the
specific mandate of the state const1-
tuition which reads as follows:
Section of Article 13 in part pro-
vides:
''No County shall incur any indebt-
edness or liability for a single pur-
pose, to an amount exceeding ten
thousand doll lars, without the approx
al Of the majority of the electors
thereof voting at an election as pro-
vided by law"

HAS JOE D0LIN HAD
CHANGE OF HEART
Is He Thinking Of Joining the Nonpartisan and
Working For the Interest Of the Taxpayer?

Our esteemed contemporary seems
to be suffering from a case of hys-
terics regarding the accountant who
is going over the records at the
court house.
WHY?
How long since has Joe been soli-
citous for the preservation Of the
funds of the taxpayer?
Well let us anaylze the matter a
little.
just after the accountant arrived
here, the matter Of printing the bal
lots for the special election came up
at the Office Of the Clerk and Record
er, and Joe was pressing him for the
order. In fact we understand he had
the forms ready to put on the press,
but the Clerk and Recorder took him
in to consult with the accountant re-
garding it, in view of the protests
being filed against the election being
held. The accountant advised against
the order, and advised the Clerk and
Recorder to wire the Secretary Of
State, as he did not think the elec-
ton would be held. Joe argued that
the time was short, and the order
should be placed at once; but the wis.,
er counsel of the accountant prevailed
and wire was sent to the Secretary
Of State, and on receipt Of his answer,
the County Clerk refused to order any
ballots. Sc poor Joe was prevented
from gypping the taxpayers out of
about 100000 for useless ballots,
and the poor accountant came under
the ban Of Joe's paper, because he
had saved 81, 900 for the taxpayers.
This was bad enough, but when the
Auditor asked the accountant about
some Of Joe's claims, on one Of which
lie had charged from 40 to 70 cents
apiece for cards that are usually CIV
en- gratuitously, and which totaled
$104.50, she was advised to cut the
price down to 5 cents each, which
would be good price, This she did
and saved the county $94.25, and on
his .(the accountant's) advice, she
held up some of Joe's claims for pub
locations for which he had furnished
no proofs, as is done by all newspa-
pers, and Joe was instructed to send
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1919-10-10

in the proofs so that the Auditor
could measure them. Joe tried to
argue her out Of it, but to no avail,
and it may have prevented Joe from
collecting for 8 point loaded matter,
instead of point solid, as the law
states.
How much did that cost you, Joe !?
We might state he has not fur
nished any proofs Of these publica
tions yet.
The evidence of violations of the
law, we understand, is piling up at
an alarming rate, as Joe and some
of the other malefactors well know,
and the accountant is working to COM
plete his contract, which the County
Attorney admits he made with him,
at the instruction Of the County Com
missioners.
What bothers Joe and others is not
the spending the money of the county
spending of the money will be the
means of making them come across
to the county for the moneys obtained
by them unlawfully.
Joe does not say anything about
the money spent by the Commission
ers in hiring outside lawyers to do
the work of the County Attorney at
an expense of thousands of dollars,
nor does he criticize their paying DIR.
Steele $1,400 for service, etc., at
tending to the man Wallette who was
shot while trying to escape from the
Jail, and while DR.. Steele was draw
ing $250.00 a month from the county
as health officer as weY eextra: for
mileage etc. , ~
Why was not the county physician
called, whose duty it is to attend the
poor and other county charges, and
who, we understand would have done
the job for something like $250.00?
These are only a few out of hund-
reds that will be shown up when the
accountant gets through, and he seems
to be quite busy yet.
All honest citizens want him to 20
ahead, but there are some citizens
who would like to stop him and pre-
vent the graft being shown up.
Don't be yellow, Joe. Take your
medicine.

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 8.-The
State Supreme Court today is
sued an injunction removing P.
E. Hallderson as temporary re-
ceiver of the closed Scandinavia
an-American bank of Fargo and
citing Attorney General William
Langer to appear before the su-
preme court October Is and show
cause why the injunction should
not be made permanent and an
other receiver appointed.
Hallderson, an assistant to
State Auditor Carl Kohntzky,
was placed in charge of the Far
60 banks affairs when it was or
dered closed last Thursday by the
state banking board.

application of State Bank Exam
liner o. E. Lofthus, who alleged
his powers had been abrogated by

board. The law, according to the
application, provides that the
bank examiner only shall have
the power 10 nominate a receiver.
