The decision of the supreme court
reversing. Judge Borton surely puts
that official in very unenviable hole
and a humiliating position. Judge
Borton1s bias in the case was obvious
at all times and his indiscretions in
thet proceedings approached scan
dal and. was certainly unbecoming of
a person Of his high position to say
the very least. The whole procedure
was marked by the utmost partisan
ship onstl-~art of the judge, and by
the utmost disregard for the law in
the premises, indicating a deep de-
sire on his part to assist his friend
Lockwood, to make a collection Wheth-
er the eolfection was one that should
be made or not, or whether the tax
payers Of Sheridan county were Civ
en- justice. Mr.. Lockwood's attorney
himself did not indicate greater in
terest in Eockwood's behalf.
In travelling to and from Glasgow
on this case, Judge Borton was SO
calloused to public opinion and so
Indifferent to judicial convention and
decency, as to travel in Lockwood's
car as the guest Of Lockwood and to
be seen with Lockwood in exception
al intimacy again and again, which
intimacy he seemed proud to fiaunt in
the public's face.
BOBBED-TAIL FLUSH
The case itself from the beginning
was bobtailed flush, and that it was
meant as a bluff seems patent from
the start. The case was seemingly
brought to bulldoze County Treasurer
Olson into registering and delivering
the warrants in question to Mr.. Lock
wood, and every step of the suit in
#dicates that Lockwood knew where
he was at all of the time in reference
to the position of the court, or he
would never have spent bis money in
the contempt suit, which every law
yer knew, must end in just the way
it has ended The case >out of which
the contempt grew was instituted last
January, year ago, which was {

Months.

Washington, d. C.-The sixty-sev.

session Monday.
After ten-day rest following the
extra session. house and senate re-
turned to face tasks which leaders
predict viii occupy probably seven
months. Nearly dozen questions Of
legislative policy confront the mem.
bers. while scores of lesser matters
will be pressed.
President Harding delivered his
message Tuesday.
II appeared highly probable that no
consideration would be given the
naval supply bill until some indication
is had Of probable results of the arms
conference. while that dealing with
army funds is slated for late study
because 1t may also be affected.
Panama canal tolls and funding of
the allied debt are two other measures
which appear TO be linked up with
the arms conference insofar as debate
10 concerned.
This congress is the first to deal
with the governments expenditures in
budget form. The house and its ap-
preparations committee will take up
the combined supply bill with the ex-
pectation. 1t was said, of having all
OF its items to the senate by April 5.

cultural problems have been progress.

Reorganization of governmental bu-
reaus and functions, including the ad-
ministration OF Alaska, promised to be
a subject at the forefront OF congress
sional business.
The senate, barring changes in its
programme. will turn first to the al
lied debt funding bill.

ate is the resolution to declare Tru-
man II. New berry, republican. the duly
elected senator from Michigan and to
deny claims of Henry Ford. democrat,

TARIFF BILL TANGLED
IN LEGISLATIVE SNARL
Attempt to Return 1t to Con.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE F'ordney
emergency tariff bill. with its burden OF
Senate amendments, got back to the
House to-day, only to get snagged in a
legislative jam. leaving its immediate
future uncertain.
Soon after Chairman Fordney Of the
Ways and Means Committee had started
for st. Augustine, Fla, TO consult Presi-
dent-elect Harding about putting
through a second emergency tariff as a
stop gap measure. acting Chairman
Green sought to complete the House for
malities of sending the first bill to con-
ference. Obtaining recognition just be-
fore the House adjourned, Representa-
tive Green asked the House to disagree
with the Senate amendments, and that
a conference committee be named.
Representative Treadway CRep.,
Mass.) failed to give the necessary
unanimous consent, and hasty confer
ences followed. Mr.. Green sought to get
the Massachusetts member TO withhold
objection. Failing in that, Mr.. Green
enlisted the support of Representative
Mondell, Republican iioor leader, who
also attempted to untangle the situation,
but nothing came of 1t.
The Fordney bill thus was left over
night with three possibilities, all depend
ing upon manpuvres by Republican
leaders. It may be sent to conference by
vote of the House, referred again to
the Ways and Means Committee or an
attempt may be made to have the House
concur in the Senate amendments.
