hetenA.-Inere VIII be no Montana
State fair next year because of the
condition of the states finances, nc
cording to an announcement by Gov.
Joseph NJ. Dixon. Governor Dixon
stated he would recommend 10 the
board OF examiners that the 1922 fair
be suspended.
The state fair Of 1921, In addition TO
spending the executive appropriation
OF S50,812, incurred n deficit OF s13,-
23T. The deficit was said 10 be due
TO unfavorahle conditions. had weathor,
etc. The recommended suspension OF
the fair next year will save s46,SS3 APP
proprlated by the legislature. The
board Of examiners, however. is ex-
pected to make up the deficit out Of
the appropriation.
The governor, in his statement,
points out that the legislative appro-
-priations FOR all purposes for 1922
amount TO about s3-5O0,000, while the
states available revenue from all
sources will be only approximately
& 100000.
In view OF the fact that the state
board Of education recently voted to
cut $4,000 from tht University of
Montana appropriation, Governor Dix
on said he believed II was the proper
thing to suspend the fair for 1922.
Chester c. Davis. commissioner Of
agriculture. who was In the charge OF
the fair, said IL was In accord with the
governors economy measure, and that
the only money necessary TO be spent
would be for the upkeep of the grounds
and the pay OF a caretaker. He hoped
changed conditions In 1923 would make
IL possible TO continue the fair on a
and bigger basis.

A physician was walking up Broad way when he say dentist friend looking at some shirts in a show win dow. Just then panhandler stepped up to the dentist and began to un- ravel a hard luck story. To the physicians astonishment the dentist lifted his hand to his ear and said, raising his voice considerably:
 Flows that? You'll have to speak louder. I'm hard of hearing" the panhandler hurried away, grumbling to himself. The physician walked up and laid his hand on the dentists shoulder. "Jim", he said, "you seem to have ear trouble" ..

----SSsv-- THE LETTER ANDY WROTE

In the beginning of the summer Pierce Barnes, a lawyer of New York, says the Sun, had occasion as counsel for Western railroad, to ask sec tion foreman for information regard ing the killing of a bull on the tracks. He received the following vivid reply from Andy Slatterly, Coon's Hole, Minn.:
 "Dear Sir.-Your humble servant, Andy Slatterly, section foreman at the Falls below, knows but very lit- tie with regards to the killing of the bull. But howsumever what right had he over here when he lived two miles beyant the right of way, but never theess he came in company along with two of his female sex and in the height of their jolity they lept the fence and they were cavorting the whole of the afternoon up and down the right of way, and presently along comes number 2 and hits the little bull welt in the tail and knocks him to the pike below and breaks his bones to atoms, and the bull is dead. That is all I know in regards to the killing of the bull. Your humble ser want at the Falls below."'

who goes to work for the railroads af- ter certain date. Those employees who are now at work for the rail- roads came on a free, competitive basis and have done faithful work. Although theoretically they can change to some other job, yet practi- cally they cannot. They know the railroad business and this is all they do know, and it isn't fair to say they can quit at their present time of life and enter a new field of work. There fore I say that unless these present employees will voluntarily come under the compulsory arbitration system : they should be free to continue as at present. But every additional man hired will be hired with the distinct understanding that he will conform to the decisions of the Railroad Labor Board ,as must the stockholders of such corporations. This would be per- fectly fair and would bring about a result which would be gracefully ac- cepted by all in the course of time. Under this system it would take a few years to bring about the desired result, but we would rapidly approach it from year to year, and when adopt !, ed it would have full cooperation of all concerned. This is my forecast of the way that the problem will ul- timately be worked out. Then there will be no more strikes on our rail- roads, nor in connection with the pub lie utilities, mines, etc., when the same method is extended to include them also. ...
 ''The Babsonchart continues to re- fleet existing conditions with remark able accuracy. It now stands at 8%
 below normal. Were it not for the strike situation of the past few weeks it would be much higher. Neverthe- less, the tide has turned for the bet ter and business will be better this fall than last, in spite of the strikes" !"

TEMPLE OF BAAL

There rises huge wall 75 feet high, inclosing square court, of which the side is TAO feet long. Part of the walls having fallen into ruins, has been rebuilt from ancient materials; but the whole of the north side, with its beautiful pilasters, remains per feet. As the visitor enters the court they stand still in astonishment at the extraordinary sight that meets their view; for here, crowded within those four high walls, is the native village of Tadmor. It was natural enough for Arabs to build their mud huts within these ready-made fortifi- cations, but the impression produced by such a village in such a place is indescribably strange.
 The temple, so to speak, is eaten out at the core, and little but the shell remains. But here and there a fluted Corinthian column or group of col umns with entablature still perfect, rises in stately grace far over the wretched huts, the rich, creamy color of the limestone and the beautiful holdings of. the capitals contracting with the clear blue of the cloudless sky. The best view of the whole is obtained, from the roof of the mares which, once beautiful and adorned with sculpture, is no wall battered and defaced and has been metamorphosed into squalid little mosque. To de- scribe the view from the roof were indeed a hopeless task.-Blackwood's Magazine.

Court-provided the railroads, public utilities, coal mines, etc., are operated by the Government, not for profit. They illustrate their case by stating that this is the reason they are will ing to be drafted for the army, be- cause the army is operated by the Government, and not by individuals for profit, and that this is why being drafted for the army is not a form of slavery.
 "This may be all right in theory" continued MT. Babson, ''but the public is in no mood at present for further Government operation. The results of the war, in connection with the op- eration of the railroads, the building and operation of ships and the various other interests in which the Govern ment took hand, show that under present conditions Government oper- ation is expensive, inefficient and un- satisfactory.
 The public believes today that bet ter organization, better discipline and lower costs come through private op- eration. The public further believes that private operation should con- tinue so long as the present em- ployees of the railroads, public utili- ties, and coal operators are not conn pelled to work for the owners of these properties but are free to leave them and work for other people, and so long as there are plenty of other men avail able and willing to work on the rail- roads, public utilities and coal mines under system, of compulsory arbi-- tration. ls. |, "In view of these facts, it seems to me that the public will not at present take seriously the claim of the labo1 leaders that compulsory arbitra- tion applied even to industries oper' ated for profit is necessarily slavery. If it were to apply to all industries or If there were not group of mer perfectly willing to work on the rail- roads, public utilities and coal mines under a system of compulsory arbi- tration, then there might be some jus tice in the slavery argument. Today, however, railroad men are perfectly free to go into other lines of activity for which no compulsory arbitration is suggested, while hundreds of thou sands of men are willing to work for the railroads, public utilities and even the coal operators under compul- sory arbitration system. How will such a compulsory system be put in operation in connection with the rail- roads, public utilities and mines? Possibly the people will be so irritated that Congress will with one swoop apply the Kansas Industrial Court idea to the railroads, public utilities and mines. hope, however, this will not be done. The need of the hour is to have workers feel right. We shall never have efficiency and re- duction in the cost of living until those engaged in industry, feel right toward their work. People never feel right when forced to do anything against their better judgment. Hence my forecast is as follows:
 "The Railroad Labor Boards rul- ing will not now be made compulsory as to the present employees, but they will be compulsory on every employee

LEGISLATURE NEEDS BUDGET
Associated Pressl

Longton, Dec. 20.-That the
Kansas legislature should have a
more definite budget on it's ap-
preparations is the belief Of Geo.
W.. Smith who was reelected to
represent the 48th district-Elk
cOunty-in the lower house. He
said he would like to see such a
reform adopted by the pending
session of the legislature.
II think the present method Of
passing appropriation bills is
wrong" said Mr.. Smith, that is,
passing them as they come up,
one at time. Under the present
method no, member Of the legis-
lature can tell what the total ap-
preparation will be until the legis-
lature Is adjourned. If the entire
amount appropriated for all state
purposes was all footed up and
voted for in a lump sum, so that
every member would know what
the entire amount spent by the
Legislature was to be before he
voted on 1t, I think 1t would be
better"
