Big Jazz Froic
at Liberty Theater
New Years Eve

In the cid days-ante- prohibition
days-it required no great effort on
the part of Great Falls folks to
plan a srollcsome New Years eve
party. But now, It's different. One
doesn't get the kick" out Of q
dinner dance at the hotels and res
taurants in these volstead days
that he used to. 1t is much more
difficult to see the old year out
and the new year in.
Manager e. j. MyrEck of the
Liberty theater is arranging a mid
night matinee for Saturday night,
Dec. 81, that, from all Indications,
will equal In spirit If ut In

night matinee "Iazz frolic'-and
each of Its three hours.
Tickets for the froIlc, which are

start at " 80 p. M
The program, which manager

ance similar to the ''tryoufs" given
In vaudeville houses in the East
Side, New York. Prizes of $50 and
$25 will be given to the first and
second best acts, the amount OF ap.
pIause given by the audience de-
termIning the winners. This fea-
ture will be followed by a profess
sIonaI vaudeville performance. The
third section of the program will
show the motion picture industry Of

urally every appointment from Kan

ators Curtis and Capper. Under the
established custom 1t Is generally te-
dious and quite uncertain business
looking for federal position without a
kindly word from the national COM
mitteeman. And the forces which are
strongly urging Judge Reeds selection
have not consulted Curtis or Capper
or Mulvane. it is said.
In the meantime. tho. stories are
being circulated that Judge Reed is to
succeed to a position on the new pub
lie utilities commission. But the en-
dorsements of Reeds candidacy are
going to Washington while the two
appointments are pending. There is a
belief in political circles that Gov
ernor Allen will name Reed to one of
the utilities commission places while
his friends continue their werk for the
federal office. II he lands, the
switch might easily be made from one
good job-to another. And if the cam
paign fails Judge Reed will remain in
of Governor Allen.
Further Political Dope.
Further dope in political circles is
to the effect that appointment of Reed
to a federal position would put State
Chairman Motter on the public utili-
ties commission as his successor. Two
years ago Governor Allen offered Mot
ter a commission place, but he de-
clined. 1t is believed now that he will
accept if Reed goes to Washington.
Behind the Reed candidacy is Gov
ernor Allen and many of the persons
closely identified with the state ada
ministration. The list of workers also
includes Fred Trigg of Kansas City,
Mo-; William Allen White. Emporia;
Fred E. Stanley, Wichita, former ma
tional committeeman; Hugh Powell,
Coffeyville; ALT Ladon, Independ-
ence; Fred Brinkerhoff. Pittsburg;
J. II. Lee, Topeka, retiring president
of the Kansas Day club: Tom Bigger,
Kansas City, Kan, and others.
Judge Reed is publisher of the Par
sons Daily Sun. He was for a num-
Der of years in the postal service and
in 1918 was one of the managers for
Governor Allen in his primary cam
paign. Last year he helped direct the
fight against the election of D. w.
Mulvane for national committeeman
and split with members of the Kan
sas delegation on matters of delegates
and political policies. Because of the
Reed has entered in the last two years
and his intimate relationship in help
ing shape policies of the state admin
istration, his candidacy for the fed
eraI appointment is the most i'm
portant political matter in Kansas at
this time.

HARD FOR ROADS
Present Freight Rates Work
Hardship, Says Mercer.
Also Prohibit Shipping, Accord
ing to Producers.

The present freight rates, as in
creased by the interstate commerce
commission, in many cases absolutely
prohibit shipping, especially of agri-
cultural products and livestock, and
are nearly as hard on the railroads as
on the shippers, according to j. H.
Mercer, secretary of the Kansas Live
stock association.
with the stringent financial condi-
tons which grasped the entire coun-
try last fall and made it difficult or
next to impossible to obtain loans"
said Secretary Mercer, came the ter
rible slump in prices of all farm pro-
ducts. These products are now being
prices, and the farmer and stockman
is paying double pre-war prices for
his transportation.
There can be no doubt that the
latest increase of Al per cent in freight
rates is unjust and unwarranted. 1t is
hard to understand why, just as prices
were beginning to fall, that the inter-
state commerce commission would
grant such an increase. In my opin-
ion, the commission, realizing that it
would fall to the government tolmake
good it's guarantee to the railroads
as provided in the Esch-Cummins act
sought to protect the government
from loss by throwing the entire load
of the per cent guarantee upon the
shippers.
The Kansas Livestock association
and other livestock organizations de-
voted much hme and furnished all
evidence possible to the interstate
commerce commission when this last
advance rate question was up for
hearing. 1t is my opinion, and be-
neve it will soon be fully demon
strated, that the federal commission
gave but little. if any consideration
to the agricultural interests of the
country when the present abnormal
increase IN rates was established"

REED TO P. 0. JOB?
RumOr of Appointment to the
Federal Postal Service.
Friends of Industrial Judge
Have Seen WiIfHays.
INTEREST IN POLITICAL CIRCLES
Reed Has Been Prominent in
the Delegation Split.
Over Heads of Capper and Cur
tbs for New Position.
INTEREST IN POLITICAL CIRCLES

Judge Clyde NJ Reed is due to
switch his political location from To-
peka to Washington if certain things
happen. The particular thing which
Reeds friends seek to bring about is
his appointment to a place in the
federal postal service. Efforts to Sc
cure a federal place for the indus
trial court judge began sometime ago.
In the last two years Judge Reed
I has been the political trouble zone in
) Kansas. 1t was his activity in legisla-
, tive affairs two years ago and his par
ticipation in district, state and ma
tional convention matters that put
blood spots on the political moon in
this state. The campaign to secure
his appointment to a federal position
was carried on for several weeks with
sout general knowledge in political
circles. Now the work is said to be
: in the form of d direct application for
one of the big places in the postal
service.
The avenue of success chosen by
Reeds friends in seeking the appoint
Inent was Will Hays. chairman of the
national committee who is to succeed
to the postmaster generalship. H. H.
Motter, state chairman, was selected
as the spokesman who was to state
Reeds cause.
Just when the legislature was get
ting under way Motter and Judge
Reed made a trip to Washington. 1t
is declared that the matter of the fed
eral job was the main subject of dis
cussion with men who were visited in
the national apital. Since that visit
numerous endorsements of Reeds
candidacy have been sent to Presi-
dent-elect Harding and to Hays.
Much Political Interest.
Keen political interest will center
in the activities to place the industrial
court judge in federal service. Nat
