CONGRESS FRAMES JOINT
RESOLUTION TO HELP FARMERS

Washington, Dec. g. Revival of the
War financ corporation and action by
she federal reserve board permitting
extension by banks of liberal credits
TO farmers would be directed in joint
resolution drafted late today by the
senate agricultural committee. The res
olutions will be reported to the senate
tomorrow by Senator Gronna, Of
North Dakota. the agriculture commit
tee chairman, who will ask for imme-
date consideration.
Members of the committee drafting
the resolution expressed confidence
that enough votes we're assured 70
bring about its prompt passage but
members of the finance committee
indicated that they would ask that
it first be referred to them for con-
sideration inasmuch as the war IL
nance corporation was created under
a bill drawn by their committee.
Restoration Of the war finance cor
poration to furnish financial aid to
farmers also would be directed in a
concurrent resolution presented today
in the. house by Representative Byrnos
Democrat, Of South Carolina.
The senate agriculture committee
decided to report its resolution as a
committee measures hoping thereby
to save time. With unanimous con-
sent under the senate rules the reso-
luton could be read tomorrow twice
in one day and placed on the calendar
for passage.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, mem
Der of the agricultural committee, first
proposed a concurrent resolution,
which does no trequire approval by
the president, but other members OBJ
jected on the ground that such reso-
luton would not be strong enough
While not anticipating the action IF
the president, democratic senators
made clear their intention of voting
to override veto if necessary.
The senate committee resolution de-
clares that unprecedented mad un-
paralleled distress" exists among the
farmers because of their inability 10
market their products at prices equal
ling the cost Of production and that
the people of Europe are in "dire need"
of these products but unable to pur-
chase because of existing financial
conditions. The resolution further re-
cites that banks have been unable to
extend credit to farmers so they may
hold their products until they can
be sold in fair and reasonable mar
ket.' Then follow the resolutions di-
Tections which declare:
"The secretary of the treasury and
the members of the war finance cor
poration, are hereby directed to revive
the accounts of the war finance cor
pofaLlon, ana that said corporation be
a tonce rehabiliated with the view CT
assisting in the financing of the ex-
portation of agricultural products to
foreign markets
"The federal reserve board is here
by directed to take such action as
may be necessary to permit the men,
Der banks of the federal reserve sys-
tenn, in accordance with law and con-
sistent with sound banking, to grant
liberal extension Of credit to the farm
ers Of the country upon the security
Of the agricultural products now held
by them by permitting the rediscount-
ing of such notes Of extension at the
lowest possible rates Of interest.

Helena, Dec. 31.-The hospital for
the treatment of mental diseases
which is being opened at Fort Harri-
son here by the United States health
service is to be a permanent institu-
ton, with work in sight for it for the
next so years at least, DR.. A. S. Pen

Going into detail on the plans for
changing the fort into a hospital, DR..

buildings would be converted into the
hospital proper, at an expense of $780,
900 up. He could not estimate the
time of the opening of the institution,
saying that it would be in operation
as soon as possible. Twelve cars of
supplies from the army have already
arrived and a total of so are to be
received.
There will be one urse or attend
ant for every five patients and n
occupational expert for every 20 cases.
The hospital will positively not be an
insane asylum, the doctor declared.

.FIREhEN'S DANCE
WAS Big SUCCESS
New Years Ball Largely Attended
Novelty Dances Feature Eve
ning's Entertainment.

Between $50 and 400 people attend
ed the annual firemen's ball New
Years eve. A regular meeting of the
.firemen will be held next Tuesday
evening at which time the reports
of the various committees in charge
of the dance will be read. Owing to
the fact that those in charge of the
ticket selling campaign have not yet
been able to report the committee is
not able to state just how financially
successful the dance really was.
At any rate, it was a success from
every other angle; the hall was beau
tifully decorated and the music was
all that could be desired. The orches-
ira put on several special numbers
that were much appreciated. The
bubble" dance is especially deserving
of mention. While the orchestra was
playing "I'm Forever Blowing Bub-
bles," the crowd of dancers were blow
ing the real rubber bubbles which had
been distributed by the firemen a
few minutes before. The various as
sortment of colors made a very pleas
ing sight in the dim light.
The dancing was dispensed with for
a few minutes and during the recess

remarks, thanked the patrons OF the

FORT PECK INDIANS WILL
FORM COMMERCIAL CLUB
Citizen Indians of Fort Peck Take
Steps to Organize for Mutual
Benefit.

Poplar, Dec. 31.-What is declared
to be the first institution of it's kind
in the United States will be created
in this city shortly when the citizen
Indians of the Fort Peck reservation
organize a commercial club, or cham
Der of commerce.
Prof. E. j. P~eacore, principal of the
Indian school here, Gus NJ. Hederich,
Alvin Warrior and other leading In
dams r back of the movement. There
are between three and four hundred
citizen Indians on this reservation
and they will be organized into a body
which will later affiliate with the
state and national organizations of
commercial clubs. 1t will be non-po-
litical and it is understood that it will
address itself particularly to the work
of irrigation and better farming meth
DDS. Hedderich, one of the originators
Of the plan, leaves for Washington to-
morrow morning where he will explain
the proposition to the Indian admins
tration and ask for it's endorsement
and at the same time suggest that if it
works out here successfully that it be
carried out on other reservations.
Hedderich is the Indian who attained
wide publicity all over the west a few
years ago through a bitter legal fight
he waged to be made heir to a vast
estate of a we'll known white man
of North Dakota whom he claimed was
his real father.
Other leaders in the movement,
which is said to be one of the biggest
attempted by Indians, are graduates
of Carlisle and other Indian schools
who are members of what is known
as The Returned Students Associa-
tion.-Great Falls Tribune.

POISONED WHISKEY
CAUSES DEATHS IN EAST
Wood Alcohol in Christmas Whiskey
Causes Death and Blindness
Several Arrests Made.

AS a result of drinking Christmas
cheer alleged to contain wood alcohol
from rs to 100 persons in Massachu-
sets, Connecticut and New York
have either died or become totally
blind.
Five men have so far been arrested
by the internal revenue department
in connection with the sale of the pois-
oned liquor and are being held on
charges of homicide. 1t is understood
that n of the biggest roundups OF
bootleggers and illicit liquor manu-
facturers ever made in this country
is impending and no doubt a large
number will find themselves in the
tolls of the law as a result. A liquor
dealer, druggist and undertaken are
so far involved.
The federal American societies of
experimental biology which was in
session shortly after the expose was
made, will recommend that the sale
of wood alcohol be controlled by the
government.
The investigation discloses that over
20 barrels of the wood alcohol whis-
key were shipped into Hartford, Con-
necticut, and evidence has been
brought forth in several other cities
which indicates that the operations of
the gang were quite extensive. Even
Chicago had its little death list. It
is difficult to say just how many
communities will be affected until
the internal revenue department has
had an opportunity of going over the
entire situation thoroughly.

CONSTITUTIONALITY. OF
ORDER NO, 4 INVESTIGATED

Order NOD issued by the Montana
Trade commission providing for cost
tags on all merchandise sold to retail
merchants is now before Federal
Judge Bourquin. The merchants of
the state secured a temporary injunc-
ton restraining the commission from
putting it's order into effect. The
plaintiffs are now seeking a perma-
nent injunction.
The regular term of federal court
opens in Helena or January 5 and it
is assumed that the decision will be
forthcoming shortly after that time.
Attorney M. S. Gum, for the petition
ers, said the law violates the 14th
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, and he held that no
power lies in the states to fix prices
on property or labor. The petitioners
also pleaded that the law creating the
trade commission and under which or
der No. 4 is issued has no requirement
for uniformity of prices on merchan-
disc but leaves prices to the will of
the commission.
Mr.. Gum also said the proposed or
der would affect interstate commerce
and hence would be invalid. The law
also conflicts with the state antitrust
act, Mr.. Gum said, and furthermore,
it violates federal acts forbidding
search and seizure except under GER
tain conditions.
