NOVEMBER =.

November . is the date for the
general election at which the elector
will cast his or her vote for candi-
dates from president down TO pre-
cinct offices. The polls will open at
8 O'Clock i'll the morning and close
at s o'clock.
In Powder River county perhaps
the most important issue mp for de-
cision is the permanent location Of
the county seat which temporarily
has been located at BroadUs. There
are three candidates for the perma-
nent location Of the county seat. viz:
Broadus. Olive and Sigmnnd and all
names Will appear on the separate
official and sample ballots. In the
event none of the candidates; receive
a ma jority of all votes cast. then the
temporary seat remains at Eroa dus.
Neither Sigmund or Olive hope TO
mustes enough strength to capture
the permanent county seat but to pre-
vent Broadus from receiving the re
CURED majority. For the good OF
the entire county the permanent 10
cation Of the county seat should be
fixed at general election rather than
reave the issue unsettled for another
two years. Wen all he able to pull
and work together then as unit.
In this county seat campaign, the
slogan All for BroaduS; Broadus for
ALL is quite appropos.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS

Hereafter statemenents on sub
scription arrearages will not be mail
ed to subscribers. A card index sys-
tenn has been completed in this office
showing the subscription account of
each subscriber and as rapidly as pos
sible the names of those in arrears
will be dropped from the list unless
they become in good standing by pay
ing up year in advance. so as to
conform with the postal laws.
The Examiner management has de-
cided to pursue the above policy in
order to hold the subscription price
down to SO per year. Most every
other newspaper in the state has
running and operating expenses. We
believe our subscribers are getting a
run for their money and cite the
many voluntary testimonials We are
constantly receiving. New suhscrib-
ers are being enrolled every week and
the subscription list is growing.

TREND OF THE TINES

"a weekly feature in the Montana
letin.)
We have it from the nations best
economic sources that:
For the first time in many months
the people of this country. during the
past month, have seen a ray Of hope
that seemed to indicate definitely that
the cost of living would be lowered
within comparatively short time.
For many weary months the talk in
business circles, in clubs, on the
street and in the home has been OF
high prices, tight money and future
uncertainty in all lines of business.
The difficulties of the situation have
been felt the country over, but no.
where more than Montana, where
the worst agricultural conditions in
the history of the state have been ex-
perienced over a period of three
years.
Almost without any previous sign
that was observable to the general
public came d general slashing III
prices of almost all commodities en-
cepting foodstuffs in the form Of spe-
startling announcements of even more
substantial price cutting by manufac-
turers of motor cars, cloth, leather
goods and other products. It is now
apparent that defaion is under way,
and that a return TO something re-
sembling pre-war conditions is in
sight. People had come to believe
the statement that was repeated con-
tinually by the best-informed bust
ness men--that there would never be
reurn to the old price levels. The
sudden fall in the cost Of several i'm
portant commodities. therefore, was
totally unexpected. All at once mer-
chandisers have come TO realize that
another reimbursement is at hand, and
there is not bewilderment as re-
suit. 4eusAuSsS SASSu.ites lo are
faced with high inventories and high
CARRYING charges have seen the light
and there has been scramble to ex-
change goods for cash. 1t is interest
ing to note that nowhere is there yet
any mention of wage reductions; that
bridge will be crossed when living
costs are definitely lowered, it seems.

itself has saved the people of the

As evidence of Mr. DixOn's work

granted liberal pensions to soldiers
and relieved worthy and disabled
veterans who through some tech.
nicality were unable to obtain ade-
Quate pensions through the usual
channels. He also secured allow

Bureau which he prosecuted before

record Is a splendid testimonial of
his work in behalf of some of the
most deserving citizens Of Montana.
