Michael Mcmahon, who has been
spare engineer on the Central Vermont
trains for some years, has bid off the
engine run made vacant by the death
of Thomas Farrell Mr.. Mcmahon has
supplied on this run much of the time
in recent years.
A change in train schedule has gone
into effect and the change, which was
published last week in the Times, is
one of these changes. II provides that
persons from Barre may come TO Mont
pelier on the $3.50 Central Vermont
train and catch the Wells River train
which does not leave now until 6:55
o'clock, while the mixed train in the
afternoon leaves at 2:40 instead of =
o'clock in the afternoon, thus giving
more time for persons who come to
Montpelier on the forenoon train and
also giving a better chance for the
newspapers to get this train.

Women To Aid
JObless Army

Washington, Sept. 12.-Women
are to participate in the conference
on unemployment being arranged for
President Harding and Secretary
Hoover
The president today discussed
with Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton of
New York, the question of choosing
women as delegates. Mrs. Upton was
asked by the president to suggest
names of several women and she
agreed to submit list of 10 wo-
men.
Secretary Hoover, who also called
at the white house, said several wo-
men would sit in the conference. Mrs.
Upton said it was not expected that
the entire list of 10 would be chosen
but it was hoped three or four would
be in the conference. The women
representatives will be selected, she
said, with due regard to trades and
industry as well as geography.
/ Political considerations will not
figure in making up the list. shs

POLITICS BREAK
IN WASHINGTON
PLAN OF "STANDING BEHIND
REASONS" NO LONGER In
EVIDENCE.

Washington, ID. c., Sept 12.-Aft-
more apparent than real, the dem
ocratic and republican parties have
come out in the open and gone back
to partisan politics. The democrats
have begun an attack upon the adj
ministration and as usual the incum-
bent party fights back with asser-
tions of great achievement.
Behind the scenes there has not
been any truce at all. Deserving re-
publicans have been clamoring for
offices and ousted democrats have re-
lucantly let go. Chairman George
White, of the democratic national
committee, started out with a plan
of standing behind the president
for patriotic reasons, and kept his
henchmen from kicking over the ira
ces too soon in partisan attack. But
the action of the republicans in eX-
Guiding the democrats from the ways
and means committee meetings, at
which the tariff and tax measures
nonpartisan days of the war We're
not to be repeated and that it was
a free for all fight along the same
lines as existed before the war when
the democrats framed their admins
tration measures in party confer
ences.
As an indication that things are
back to normalcy in politics COM
ment is heard upon the fact that
President Harding's letter to Sena-
tor Mccormick attacking the method
by which the democratic administra-
tion managed the war has been re-
garded as an improperly, although
Mr.. Wilson's letters TO democratic
senators apropes of congressional
elections were made the basis foi
widespread criticism.
The difference today is that the
fighting is back on old lines, with
apologists for the administration ar
guing that President Harding is the
greatest president since Lincoln, and
opponents contending that most ev-
erything done thus far is all wrons
and that dire predictions about {
business depression have been con
firmed. The amusing part of th'
spectacle-for most of it is too arti
ffcial to be taken seriously-fs tina
the democrats are shouting abou
the good old days of democratic
prosperity" when working mem
wages were high and the bushes

BONUS BOARD IS
MAKING PROGRESS
BIG RSH OF THE WORK HAS
BEEN COMPLETED.

Yankton Sept. 12.-Six weeks
after beginning operation the South
Dakota soldiers compensation board
had received about $4,000 claims,
which represents more than half the
soldiers in the state; it had exam
ined 7,700 of them, and had approx
ed 5,612 of them ready for payment,
according to Fred B. Ray, executive
officer of the board. These figures
are for the close of business on Sep
tember 8, report of which has just
been received by Colonel Ray from
H. NJ. Whisman, chief clerk of the
board at Pierre.
The board is working like a well
oiled machine, Colonial Ray said, and
is coming up TO expectations in all re-
spects. With the great initial rush
of applications behind them the
there should now be an ever dimin-
ishing number of claims coming in.
The matter of cleaning up the strag-
glers is going to be hard problem
to solve, Colonel Ray realizes, and
may take until the middle of 1923
to finish, but it will not require the
full board to handle, and the person
mel can be reduced as the work
dwindles.
Although provision had been made
for board of 33 members to handle
the work if necessary, all work TO
date has been done by Is persons,
Colonel Ray declared, thus making
very considerable saving. 1t is an
achievement not equaled by any 9TH
er state, and not really anticipated
here. but so efficiently had the whole
thing been planned that larger per-
sonneI was found TO be unnecessary.
AS the receiving of claims falls off
workers from that department can
be shifted to the investigation de-
partment, which will begin to func-
/ ton as soon as substantial number
/ has accumulated, probably within an
other 60 days.
Of the 7,700 claims which had
been examined on September 3, s.
i 612 had been approved and We're
ready to receive payment, Chief
Clerk Whisman's report shows, while
l1,234 of them required special in
! vestigation, 81 required special ac-
ton by the board, and ST We're then
in the examination department. On
this showing the examiners are go
ing through nearly 200 claims day
and the rate will increase as then
familiarity with the ruling grows.
Ne definite time has been set for
beginning the payment of the claims
Colonel Ray said, although it is his
belief that checks should be goinf
out by the 1st of November. Al
counties in this state will fare alike
in this part of the work, as in the
receiving of claims, and checks vii
90 out in block.

FINDS NORWAY
IS PROSPEROUS
MARTIN MONsON. BACK FROM
OLD COUNTRY, SURPRISED AT
EXCELLENT CONDITIONS
THERE.

Sioux Falls, Sept. 12.-There is
one country in the world that is suf-
fering from neither lack of prosperity
or employment for its people. Nor
way, according to Mons Monson, sec
ton foreman for the Illinois Central
railway who has just returned from
a five weeks visit there, is enjoying
a wonderful era of activity and prog
ress. both industrially and agricul-
turally. There is plenty of money
and plenty of work and good prices
for products so the people are happy
and contented.
II has been 81 years since Mr.
Monson was back to the old country
and he said had anyone told him
before he went of the conditions
there. he would not have believed it,
He visited not only his old home IN
Stavangar, but numerous other local.
tiles including Bergen, Christiania,
Helberson, Egerhund, Christiansand,
both inland and on the seacoast.
81 saw very few idle people, said
Mr.. Monson, Everyone seemed 10
have money. OF course if exchanged
for our coin, it would not be so mucn
hut in that country it was ample for
exchange among themselves. In the
cities there was considerable build
ing but the farms took my breath
away. They have fine, modern hom-
as and barns everything electrically
lighted with running water and light
in all rooms. The farmers there
have few tractors. using horses IN
stead. but they have all other mod
ern machinery. Their oat. barley
and wheat crops are splendid ana
they buy and sell them among them
| selves.
.eThe farmers are all anxious TOT
their boys and girls to get the Des.
education and they send most OF
them to the cities for the high scnool
work as they have nothing OF the
sort in the country. Everywnert
they have a fine system of grayeiiec
roads that are well kept up but ther'
are very few autos outside the cities
but they drive to the cities goo'
deal and there is good train serV'
ice around the country. The Norwe
gians take their time more than I'M
Americans and are not always in
rush."

Say Prairie Chickens
And Grouse Plentiful

Pierre, Sept. 1.-THE hunting
season will open ON September To-
and while the duck shooting viii not
be up to what it has been for the
pas two years, the grouse and prai-
rie chicken shooting promises to pe
better than it has been for years.
Ducks are scarce as compared Win
the past few years on account OF the
extremely dry and hot weather,
which eliminated many of the siougns
and ponds which have offered good
shooting grounds.
But the same fact which has MADE
ducks more scarce than for last year
and the year before has been in favor
of the grouse and chickens, as the
conditions were more favorable Tor
their Matching and rearing their
young.
While the grouse and chickens are
reported more numerous all over
the state than for some time, the
country west of the Missouri promis-
es the best hunting territory, anu
many parties from over the state are
making preparations for getting OUT
into the fields of that section the
opening days of he hunting season.

START REVOLT ON
TAXATION PLANS
LAFOLLETTE, MCUMBER A ID
OTHERS DEMAND RELIEF FOR
SMALL TAXPAYERS.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Republican
members of the Senate finance COM
mittee at conference Friday de-
manded that relief be given the small
taxpayer before big business is re-
lieved of the excess profits tax and
the tax ON large incomes is reduced.
Defeat of the administration tax
proclamation was threatened unless
these demands are met.
Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin,
supported by Senator McCumber. OF
North Dakota, and others, strenuous
ly attacked Secretary of the Treas
ury Melons recommendation that
the excess profits tax repeal be made
retroactive to January !, 1921;
that the capital stock tax be repealed,
and that surtaxes on big incomes be
reduced from 63 per cent, to maxi
mum of rs per cent.
There was an open revolt against
the administration tax proclamation
during a stormy three-hour session
of the republican senators. AT It's
conclusion Senator Penrose, chair
man of the finance committee, an
nounced that plans for carrying out
Secretary Melons recommendations
may have to be abandoned.

became effective, he declared. men
belonging to the class that formerly

enough to give them a burial. and
the college rarely obtained bodies
from that source. appealed to en-

An alarming situation in connec-

the fact that large proportion of
