corn's ghost came back to haunt con.
1 gres Wednesday when the anti-beel
bill bobbed up again in the senate II
met the same opposition over the search
and seizure provision as before the re.
cess and again was shunted aside.
Senator Sterling, Republican, South
Dakota, who had conferred with Presi-
dent Harding, called up the conference
report on the Willis Campbell bill which
the house had adopted, but call for a
quorum, motion to adjourn and other
obstructive tactics prevented any real
consideration.
VIII Press Bill.
| Senator Sterling promised to continue
pressing the conference report, but final
enactment remained much in doubt.
With opponents blocking a vote, Repub-

senate proceed with the tax revision
bill, This would head off action on the
anti-beer measure and leave its dispo-
sition subject to later senate consider
alton Of the railroad bill.
! Attacks President.
Senator Harrison, Of Mississippi,
Democrat, attacked President Harding
for taking vacation trip last week and
charged the Republican administration
with failure to cary out its campaign
pledge to bring increased prosperity.
The senator declared that while
President Harding and several cabinet
members were enjoying the vacation
trip millions of Americans were
hanging their heads in shame" because
men who "helped win the war" were be-
ing offered on the auction block in
Boston.
THE American people want more
work and less play" he said, looking
across the Republican side, more re-
suits and fewer recommendations:
more meal tickets and fewer bread
lines; more prosperity and fewer poor
houses.
Playing Politics.
Senator Harrison made the letter re-

Helena, Sept. 21.-Irrigated lands of
Cascade county within the Fort Shaw
unit of the Sun river reclamation prof.
ect will be assessed this year upon a
basis of $40 per acre. sucn was the
decision Of the state board OF equallza,,
ton Wednesday when, by vote OF .
to 1, it voted to sustain the appea! OF
Assessor II. A. Mady from the action
of the county board of equalization IN
reducing the assessment from $50 to
900 per acre.
The action was taken upon the mo-
ton Of Secretary of State G. T. Stew
art, seconded by State Auditor George
z. Porter.
Attorney General W. ID. Rankin said
the farmers on this project had not
paid in full for their land and water
and that they can be assessed for only
their equity in the property. He said
as a general thing, he believed they
had paid enough so that their equity in
the land would really mean about $50
per acre. He explained that his idea
would be to sustain the county board in
fixing the assessment at 500.
Governor for High Valuation.
Governor Dixon opposed the reduc-
ton, saying that some land in this
project had been sold for 500 per acre
aud some as high as $3.50 per acre.
He said, however. that most of tho
lands were assessed too high and there
should be reductions all along the line.
However. he did not vote upon the
motion, and declared it to be carried
upon the affirmative votes of Messrs.
Stewart and Porter. Mr.. Rankin voted
against the motion and told the secre-
tary to 'Let the record show voted
to sustain the county board of equaEza-
tion."
