like a scheme to show great increase
in taxes SO it could be said by the
stockhOlder-candidate gang that taxes
in Montana have increased as much as
have those in North Dakota.
Whatever may have been the pur-
pose, it is necessary for every tax
payer to investigate the items of his
taxes and see that they are correct be-
for he pays them.
The time is here to rid the county
Offices of the men who do not render
efficient service. Let's have a real
Clerk & Recorder who will re-organize
that office, rid it of blunders and do
your work accurately. The way to get
a real Clerk & Recorder is to elect Lou
Bretzke. He will deliver the goods.

Big SCHOOL FUND
TEMPTS RADICALS
$500 for Education of Young Is
Menaced by the Costly Program
of the League

Helena, Oct. 21-Protection of the
$80,O00,000 school fund which will ac-
crue to Montana with the sale of
school lands is a paramount issue of
the present campaign, according to
Miss May Trumper, state superinten-
dent of public instruction. Assurance
that this money will be left intact for
the education of the young and not
dissipated in wild governmental ex-
periments such as are under way in
North Dakota can only be realized by
the election Of state board of land
commissioners more devoted to the
welfare Of the state and the culture
of it's citizens than to launching alien
or revolutionary schemes.
The board Of land commissioners
has for it's members the governor of
the state, the attorney general, the
secretary of state and the state sup
erintendent. 1t is responsible for the
administration of Montanas great
public land grants, sales of state land,
funds of public schools and state
schools and investments for the state.
Control of this board, with its wide
powers and the huge resources it COM
mands is one of the thing; most de-
sired by the Nonpartisans who are in
the midst of a determined campaign
to capture the states governmental
machinery. Such control would be ex-
tremely desirable in view Of the nee
essity for vast sums needed to put in
operation the costly and extravagant
program of the league
A call to all loyal Montanans to pro-
tect this birthright of the children is
sent out by Miss Trumper and the
| other candidates on the Republican
state ticket, which offers the only or
ganized line of resistance to the rad
ical invasion.
"These funds are an inheritance for
the future school children of Montana
and cannot be dissipated by any wild
schemes, such as were attempted in
North Dakota" Miss Trumper said.
The total funds being administered
by the state board of land commits
sioners is $2O,295,797, she said, and
explained that of this amount $1O,421,-
46S is in deferred payments on sales of
state lands. These payments are bring
ing interest at the rate of per cent
a year.
ave have invested in bonds and
state warrants $6,637 ,OS5 and in farm
! loans $3,237 ,243 and at the first of the
month had cash on hand of $685., 49,"
Miss Trumper said.
"The board also has 3,929,754 acres
of state land unsold. While. the law
permits the sale of this land as low
as $40 an acre there is much that
is worth more and is bringing more
at every sale. 1t is my hope that this
land be handled in such manner as
to bring in the best price.
Careful statistics say that Mon
tana's school fund should eventually
bring in $SO,OOO,OOO if wisely handled
and is splendid inheritance for fu-
ture generations of school children"

1T is a well-known medical fact, thai
iron is a necessary constituent Of the

the cause Of many troubles that only iron

CLAIM STATE
CHAMPIONSHIP
OUR FOOT BALL TEAM DISPUTES
GREELEY'S ASSERTION OF
GRlDiRON SUPREMACY, 1920
Coach krause Shows Figures to Boost
Belief that Gunnison II. S. Team are
Colorado Champs. Other Foot Ball
Stuff of Interest

The Gunnison football team has
made a one hundred per cent record
with games this year. By grounds
given in the following letter written by
Coach krause to Coach Jones of Gree
ley, we claim the state championship.
Greeley is claiming that honor but per-
haps they will change their minds af-
ter they receive this letter:
Gunnison, Colo,
November 80, 1920
Coach A. d. Jones,
Greeley High School,
Greeley, Colo.
Dear Sir:
am taking the liberty to write
you in protest of your claim of the
State title as football champions.
saw your record of games won and
scores made, and from that basis, feel
justified to dispute your claim, since
the Gunnison County High School foot
ball team bettered your team in both
respects.
We claim a share of the honor as
State champions with a seasons re-
cord as follows:
(a) Nine straight victories; no
ties, no defeats.
(b) 800 points scored by Gunnison
VS. "a points by opponents.
The teams we defeated represent
ed the Western slope of Colorado with
one exception, which was Canon City
High School. 1t might be interesting
to note how Canon City stood in COM
parison to the other teams of the
Eastern slope, as we defeated them II
to 2.
All we desire is a fair settlement
Of this question. From time to time
during the season we gave statewide
publicity as to our progress, and voic-
ed desire to be considered as con-
testant for the State title. No East
ern slope school was willing, or at
least expressed desire, to meet Gun
nison, the champions of the Western
half of Colorado, and therefore we
feel satisfied that our team's record
puts it in class by itself. and that it
Is, rightly, the champion of Colorado.
Yours truly,
A. C. KRAUSE
