DEMOCRATS ARE
 STANDING ASIDE

Washington, April 29.- Special )-In the preparation of the permanent tariff bill to supplant the Underwood tariff bill, which, according to democratic concep- tion, will increase the cost of living to the consuming public, and enrich the manufacturing class, the democratic members of the ways and means com mittee have nothing to do. Their voices are stlled. They do not even have the power of employing their ears or their eyes.
 In other words. the democratic mem bers are excluded from the conferences. They have been instructed to absent themselves until such time as the work is completed. When the bin Is written they will be summoned and informed regard | ing what has been done. They will be given a limited time in which to prepare a minority report They will be record ed, if they desire, as voting against the bill on it's final passage. But in the prep aration of the measure, which will affect all people and all sections. whether dem ocratic or republican, democrats have no authority, not even the right of protest prior to the completion of the work. This state of affairs was described by Representative Crisp of Georgia, denl- ocratic member of the committee, when asked by this correspondent to express himself regarding certaln features or the bill. which, report had it, were in process of adoption.
 'T have no information as to that" re- piled Mir. Crisp. T know nothing of what is going on in the committee. The demo- crats have been excluded. The several tariff schedules have been assigned to subcommittees composed of the repub- lican personnel of the committee.
 When the bill is written we will be in formed as to what it contains. We will prepare minority report, protest. in other words and then vote against the bill But such will be, the limit of our power

AMERICAN EDUCATION
WEEK DECEMBER 4-1O

American Education week will be
held December 4th to 10th under the
auspices of the National Education
association, the American Legion in
cooperation with many other educa-
tional, religious, fraternal and civic
organization. The purpose Of the week
is that of informing the public of the
accomplishments and needs of public
schools and to secure the cooperation
and support of the public in meeting
these needs. The program as outlined
calls for the observance of Sunday,
December fourth as American Educa-
ton Sunday, Monday for the study of
the significance of our flag, Tuesday,
American Ideals; Wednesday, The
Language of America; Thursday, I'm
migration; Friday, Naturalization.
The schools will observe this week
with special programs emphasizing
each topic on the days specified. An
effort will be made to impress the
significance of Americanism during
the entire week. On Monday special
interest will be developed through the
holding Of a contest in declarations
bearing upon the flag and honorable
mention will be made in the press of
the winners in each department. In
the high school the observance will
take the form of a contest in public
speaking by having each class assume
the responsibility for a day and pre-
sent five minute extemporaneous
speeches on the topics for the day.
In every possible way the public's
attention is expected to be conferred
upon education progress, Americanism
and patriotism. A more detailed state
ment will be presented later.

MONTANA STATE CORN
SHOW AT MILES CITY
Object Is To Boost Corn Raising In
MOntana-A Good Step Toward
Diversified Farming.

Miles City, Nov. 16.-It is the be-
lief of corn experts Of the northwest
that Montana should, and will, attain
a higher rank as a corn producing
state, and it is the purpose of the
Montana State Corn Show at Miles
City November II, 10 and 10 to bring
this fact before the people of this and
other commonwealth.
The statement that certain districts
in Montana produce better corn val
ues to the acre than such states as
Iowa is usually met with a certain
amount of derision by those familiar
with the situation. There is, however,
considerable acreage in the state
where corn will run from IS to 40
bushels. If it be considered that this
production m from land which can
be bought from $500 to $4,000 an
acre, it will be seen that the state
ment is not far out of the way. Much
of the irrigated lands of Montana will
produce bigger yields than herein sug-
gested. The feeding value Of Mon
tana corn is high and many varieties
outrank the corn of the middle west
in this respect.
It is believed that the Montana corn
show will bring these facts before the
farmers more forcibly and will show
them how corn can be raised at a great
profit in Montana. Corn short courses,
which are of inestimable value to the
farmer, will be held during the three
days of the show, and corn experts
from all over the northwest will be
present to give practical lectures. The
Montana Corn Growers Association,
which was started at the Midland En-
pire Fair, will be perfected during the
show.
