, REINSURANCE ON
MONEY OUTLOOK

Washington, Feb. 12.-Announc-
ing that the last remaining floating
Indebtedness of the government
would be redeemed Monday, Secre-
tary Houston said the position of the
treasury was Every bright" and that
government officials saw nothing in
the present financial situation which
they would regard as extremely grave
Only about $6O,OO0,O0O of short
term certificates requiring to be re-
funded at maturity remainsto be re-
deemed. Outstanding tax certifi-
Gates, issued in anticipation of in
come and profit tax installments for
the purpose of relieving the quarter
ly strain on the banks, amount to
35,949,500, but in no instance
exceed the estimated amount of
taxes and accordingly no funds will
have to be provided to meet them.
Secretary Houston did not mini
mize the "pains and difficulties"
still to be encountered in the proc
ess of reconstruction, but declined
to indorse the pessimistic views Of
some public men who have forecast
a crash in the international finan-
cial fabric.
"People lose sight of the many
ways we have been assisting Eu-
rope since her armistice," Mr.. Hous-
ton said. "In addition to government
loans, we have furnished them $780,
100000 worth of surplus army sup
plies, S -OO,OOO,OOO for food relief,
probably $4OO,OOO,OOO in private
loans, to foreign bankers, and con-
siderable amount of accrued interest
on the government loans, so that the
total probably would reach S4,000,-
100000. In addition, Europe has been
selling securities here"
Mr.. Houston said all reports from
Europe indicated that "reconstruc-
ton was going ON while they were
talking about it," citing the rebuild
ing of Frnech railroads and bridges
as notable example of what has
been accomplished. As to the do
mestic situation, he pointed out that
approximately $1,000, 100000 would
be spent this year arid next in road
building under arrangements made
while he was secretary Of agriculture,
and that building permits, always a
good index to business conditions, in
dicated the country was rapidly max
ing up the shortage Of houses caused
by the cessation of construction dur
ing the war.

EXPECT RAILROAD
E--IASCPE TO BE
LAW BY MARCH

Washington, Feb. 12.-Wn!.e
some opposition to the railroad bill
as finally agreed upon in conference
has developed, senate and house
leaders predicted today the confer
|ence report on the measure would
be promptly adopted so that the
legislation would" be on the statute
books before the roads are returned
ito private control March 1.
The final draft of the conference
report is now being made and it will
be presented to the senate Saturday
or Monday. The house expects to
take the report up Monday or Tues
day at the latest and leaders said to-
day it would be disposed of in two
days.
Chairman Esch, of the, house inter-
state commerce committee, one of
the authors of the railroad bill, and
other leaders expressed confidence
that opposition by house Democrats
would not delay passage of the meas
ure. They based their prediction up
on the fact that the bill, as rewritten
in conference, is substantially the
same as the Esch bill recently pass
ed by the house. Senate provisions
to which there was objection, includ-
ing the anti-strike section, creation
of the transportation board and COM
pulsory consultations were stricken
out in conference. The essential ad-
dition to the house bill was the fix
ing of guaranteed return of S 1-2
per cent. ..
"With the time already fixed by
President Wilson for return Of the
roads and the widespread demand
from the people that they be handed
back" Chairman Esch said today,
failure to enact necessary legisla-
ton before March 1 would be dis
astrous. I am satisfied, however, the
house will adopt the conference re-
port without delay" *
Chairman Cummins of the senate
interstate commerce committee and
one of the trainers Of the bill, said
there was no doubt Of the acceptance
o the conference report by the sem
ate.
"There is no opposition to the bill
in the senate other than which was
expressed when the bill originally
was up for consideration" he said.
GAS far as the house is concerned,
however, I have made no effort to
ascertain what it's fate there will be-"
Senator Pomerene, Democrat,
Ohio, one of the senate conferees,
said he was Every confident the con-
ference report would be approved"
"While I have not U ndertaken any
canvass of the house," said Senator
Robinson, Wemocrat, Arkansas, an
other conferee, 81 am sure it will
pass thta body and I am sure large
number Of Democrats will vote for
the report"
An equally optimistic view was
expressed by Senator Lodge, the Re-
publican leader.
ut most, certainly will pass the
senate and I feel sure it will aso pass
the house," he said, referring to the
conference report.
Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah,
said reports that congress would not
finally approve the bill as modified
by the conferees "were only part of
the propaganda that has been circu-
lated against the bill"

1920 BASEBALL DOPE.

Herb Hester Of Havre, who will
manage the Glasgow baseball team
the coming year, is spending the week
in tbs, city comforting with local fans
and drawing up plans for the COM
ing season. Negotiations have been
completed with several first class
players, according to Mr.. Hester, and
he promises an aggregation that Glas-
gov may we'll be proud of.
A great deal of baseball activity is
reported all along the line and it is
thought the towns of Poplar, Wolf
Point, Glasgow, Malta and Havre will
come to terms in the formation of a
northern Montana league and a sched-
ule of games drawn up.
Now that the long-touted merits of
the emery ball are definitely known,
and the realization on the part of the
managers of the smaller leagues that
it cannot easily be eliminated by ad-
verse rulings, Mr.. Hester says that
this will be a year of pitchers bat
ties. All the mound artists of the
minor leagues have been spending the
winter studying correspondence school
courses in m%aneuvering the famous
emery ball and every town and coun-
try crossroads baseball aggregation
will have it's coterie of emery ball tos-
sers. For this reason, Mr.. Hester
claims, 1920 will be a novel baseball
year. Particularly will batting aver
ages decline. 1t will not be surpris-
ing to see the batting averages of
the individual players of a club like
Wolf Points, for instance, go to mi
nus nothing.
Realizing, therefore, the Importance
of keeping the good working arms of
the pill tossers in tip-top shape, it
might be necessary during the coming
season to strengthen these members
with frequent reinforcements of con-
crete. Of course, all these matters
will be decided in the order of their
Importance as they are brought to
the attention of the management.

w. WIS AS REAL TRAITORS

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 31.-Execu-

X. NJ. Lands of Chicago, who brand
ed the socialist, l. w. W. and kindred
organizations as TRAITORS to the coun-
can Protective league here tonight.
what we need is a new definition
of treason" Judge Lands said. "Then
we can use the side of a barn for
those who would destroy u govern
ment. We must destroy the would
be destroyers."
Judge Lands vigorously denounced
profiteers and socialists and the lat
ter's war program. "The socialist
party is guilty of the crime of trea-
son." he said. 81 condemn them as
heartily as l can. They can't have
immunity where l happen to be-"
Regarding the profiteers, he said:
"The English language is bankrupt
for me to express my contempt of
profiteers. When the political d.
ganization that l used to train with
gets into power next fall I'll point out
a few of those gentlemen"
The nonpartisan league was attack
ed by the Chicago jurist.
81 understand some candidates are
flirting with votes of the nonpartisan
league. They hope to get some re-
publican or democratic votes and then
the ~nonpartisan votes. Let those fell
lows content themselves with that
kind of votes. They hope to get in
power by a split vote of good citizens.
Forget the republican and democratic
parties. Get together and beat them.

RIDDICk SEED LOAN BILL
is FAVORABLY REPORTED

Washington, D. c., Jan. 31.-The
Riddick bill which provides for the
loan of $1,000 900 to Montana farmers
for spring seed this year, was unan-

The action is the elimination of the
efforts of Congressman Carl w. Rid
dick, who, realizing the necessity of
material aid to Montana farmers for
the coming year, worked ceaselessly
in their behalf.
Prior to the present action taken
many requests from every county
were received by the congressman,
advocating a substantial loan for
