STAND By BORAH
ON BONUS ISSUE
FOR HIM TO VOTE FOR BILL HE
SAYS WOULD BE MATTER
OF BARTER."'-LETTER TO
IDAHO AMERICAN LEGION.
REPLY TO TELEGRAM.

Washington, April Ex-senator
Borah (Republican) of Idaho stated
in letter to the Pocatello (Idaho)
Post, American Legion, that if he
voted for the soldiers bonus bill sit
would be a simple matter of barter
in which I use the peoples money to
buy somebody's vote" The letter
was in response to telegram re-
ceived by the senator from the
Pocatello post and was made pub
lie tonight by him.
81 observe in your telegram" it
says, "the threat which you implied
ly make as to future political pun
ishment. 1t was wholly unnecessary
for you to make this threat. 1t re-
flected no credit upon you and it
has had no effect whatever upon me.
When you came to that fight which
you propose to inflict punishment,
any one else will be able to say,
many things in the way Of censure.
upon my public record.
"But one thing neither you nor
any one else will be able to say, say
and that is, that I ever sought to
purchase political power by draft
upon the public treasury, or that I
chose to buy a continuation in office
by putting $4,000, 900, 100000 upon
the bended backs Of American tax
payers.
"I haven't much respect for the
man who buys Office, even though he
pays for it with his own money. But
the most Shiny creature which dis
graces American politics is the man
who buys Office, by paying for it
with appropriations out of the pub
lie treasury and charges his venal
political obligations to the taxpay-
ers.
IF thought this measure a
proper one, I could and would vote
for it. But believing with thousands

would be charged to the taxpayers.
"Of course, you understand that l
have at all times supported and
stand ready to support any measure
which will help the disabled veter-
ans"
At the outset of his letter Sena-
tor Borah said he had taken his
position on the bonus "after great
consideration and with much re-
luctance." He added that he under
stood perfectly the criticism it would
bring and condemnation it would
invite" but believing that his posi-
ton was righteous one he could
not change it.

FARM PRODUCTS
BEARING BURDEN
TRANSPORTATION SHOULD BE
REVISED DOWNWARD-JOINT
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
TELLS OF AGRICULTURAL IN
CURRY 1T CONDUCTED.

Washington, April 23.-Transpor-
tation rates on products of agricul-
ture as on many other commodities
now "bear disproportionate relation
to the price of such commodities and
should Immediately be reduced, ac-
cording to findings of the joint con-
gressional commission of agricultural
inquiry announced today by Chair
man Anderson. Not only should these
freight charges come down, the re-
port declared, but in the future rate
making bodies and railroad traffic Off
GERS should give "greater considera-
ton to the relative value Of commo-
dities in the making of rates" and let
existing charges on high priced fin
ished products stand, if necessary to
remove cost burdens from basic ma
terials.
Exhaustive review of the transpor-
tation situation has convinced the
commission, Chairman Anderson said,
that ''pyramided per cent. advances
of freight rates during the war and
following years" caused dislocation
of long standing relationships be-
tween rates on agricultural and in
dustrial products and between COM
petitive enterprises and competitive
territories" which dislocation should
now be removed. The object of rate
making bodies should be, he said, in
presenting the commissions views,
t'tc readjust rates 50 far as practice
BILE to relationship existing
prior to 1913"
Effects of freight rates are empha-
sized, it was said, because on perish
ables "they amount normally to one
third of the selling price and fire.
quently two-thirds," and purchasers
and farmers are dependent in a
marked degree upon transportation
charges" in prices. The general re-
suit of increased railroad rates and
depressed commodity prices was to
bring railroad rates on farm products
in October, 1921, to an index average
of 169, or roughly, 50 per cent. a.
bove prewar levels, while farm prod
ucts stood at 102, or barely 2 pei
cent. above prewar levels.
Outside of it's general conclusions
the commission advanced three spe-
cifc proposals to better transporta-
ton service for farmers, the first be-
ing the enlargement of scompetitive
avenues of distribution through which
the largest number of consumers can
reasonably be reached" the second
was the extension of through rates
on grain to points of consumption
through two or more competitive pri,
mary markets." and the third, the
extension of the principle that coarse
grains, such as corn, should take low.
er charges than breadstuffs. Adequate
car equipment should also be main
tanned, it was added. On dairy prod
ucts and on cotton the commission
concluded that freight charges hao
not had so serious an effect as upon
some other farm Stuffs.

MAYOR PLACES BAN
ON BASEBALL POOL
Orders Police to Close Games
as Violations of Gam.
bling Laws.

Baseball pool days in Great Falls
have come and gone. Construed to
be in violation of the state gambling
laws. the game of baseball pool, which
has attracted both the attention and
money of hundreds of Great Falls resi-
dents since the opening of the major
league season, has been ordered
stopped by Mayor r. NJ. Armour and
the police have carried out his order.
No arrests for gambling were made
in connection with the mayors order
but proprietors of several cigar stands
where baseball pools have been con-
Quoted were instructed to lay off the
game or arrest and prosecution would
result. Baseball pools, according to
Mayor Armour's Interpretation, are in
direct violation of state gambling laws.
It al heard Wednesday that one
of the proprietors intended to continue
his game. despite the order, for tho
purpose of making it a test case, but
he denied that he had such an inten-
ton. Several proprietors in Butte. fol-
lowing the closing of the games by the
police of that city, were said to have
intimated that they would reopen their
games. and if complaints were filed,
they would take the cases to the courts
for decision.

meeting of International Rotary in

actions and resolutions of the conven-

Rotarians. In the course of the re-
port, it said that the office of Inter

dimensions that 6S people are now en-
ployed. Twelve of these were at Los

putting the two sections of California

the outfielder Tuesday, when ordered
off the field in compliance with Mr.. Dr.
mems first ruling.
Umpire Dineen in the report stated
that Ruth came to him before Tues
days game and called him a vile name,
embellished by several p~rofane adjec-
tives.
Dineen resented the insult and a fist
fight was averted only by the inter-
ference of iris Speaker, "Stuffy" Nc
Innis and other Cleveland players, who
led Ruth away.
There is no player in the American
league who can call one of my, UNI
pires names like that and conduct
himself in such a disgraceful manner
on the ball field and get away with it,
Mr.. Johnson said.
Il want Babe Ruth to understand
that he is going to behave himself or
I'll keep him out of the game the rest
of the summer. Such disgraceful ac-
tions are not going to be permitted and
the sooner he understands it the bet

ENROUTE TO kelvin
Tourist Park Arrival Expects
to Establish Oil Truck
ing Line.

Four two ton trucks and one tour
ing car all of the party, were camped
at the Great Falls tourists camp We'd
nesday night. They are being brought
to the Kelvin oil fields from Billings
under the direction of G. 3. Selvidge
who plans to establish an independent
oil truck line in the fields.
Mr.. Selvidge says he hasn't made
a contract with any company as yet
but he is sure that there will be suf-
ficient work to do. He has had con.
siderable experience with the manage
ment of truck lines in and out of Bill
ings.
Il wouldn't be surprised to see some
company run a pipe line from Cana
dian and northern Montana oil fields
TO the Greybull, Wyo., oil fields soon.'
said Mr.. Selvidge. 1T is certainly
much cheaper to haul oil in that way
than to ship it by railroad" he said
Great Northern railroad bridge.
1.-THE fleet of 10 trucks which I I'M
derstand is on the way to the Sun
burst fields from Casper, Wyo., for
the Ohio Oil company, seems like a
big move they will be able to handle
all the machines he said. To sink
eight wells seemed to Mr.. Selvidge
like a big prospect.
Though it is the general impression
that il would be expensive and take a
long time to lay a pipe line for such
a distance. Mr.. Selvidge said that it
would take but a short time to do it,
although it would be necessary to CON
struct pump stations virtually every
10 or 10 miles.
The trip from Billings was made in
two days, and some trouble was ex-
perienced on the last lap. 1t is in
tended to make Kelvin by tonight, with
early start this morning.
The trip to Great Falls was cut in
half By stopping at Judith Gap Tues
day night. Mr., Selvidge said the roads
were in excellent shape and better as
he approached Great Falls. An aver
age of % miles an hour was easily
made with the trucks.
