TARIFF BILLREADY
FOR HOUSE ACTION
Called Up Wednesday With Expecta-
tion That 1t Will Be Disposed
of Thursday.

WASHINGTON, Sept 12.-The ad-
ministration tariff bill as finally per-
fected in conference was presented
today in the House and the conference
report on it, bearing the signature of
the Republican members, will be
called up tomorrow, with the expecta-
ton that it will be disposed of not
later than Thursday. The measure
then will go to the Senate, but because
Of opposition to the dye embargo and
other provisions, action there may be
delayed a week or more.
AS now framed the bill is estimated
roughly by the experts to raise ap-
proximately $4O0,0O0,000 in revenue
on the basis of the present volume OF
the nations import trade. The level
of it's rate, according to the experts
is slightly below the level in the
Payne-Aldrich bill, the last Repub-
lican protective tariff, but it is con
siderably above the level of the Dem
ocratic Underwood law now in force
! The bill will become effective imme
diately after President Harding signs
it, replacing the Underwood ant
emergency tariff acts. 1t is designed
to large extent, its trainers hav'
said, to meet the unusual world eco
nomic situation and more particular.
to protect American industries from
the low cost industries in German,
and the countries carved out of Aus
tria and Hungary.

."Gentlemen of the Republican state
convention:
During my life it has fallen to
my lot to preside over many Republic
an gatherings, county, state and ma
tional During my 81 years resi-
dence in Montana, have seen much
of the evolutions of public life in this
state. Having lived in and witnessed
its growth and development from its
early emergence from the swaddling
clothes of a territory to its present
status among the sovereign common
wealths of the republic, believe that
l know Montana and its people and
the story of its achievements.
cit is my belief that l have never
yet been called upon to preside over
any similar body of delegated Repub-
licans, the result Of whose delibera-
tions were more pregnant with far
reaching results to the people of Mon
tana than this convention here as
sembled today. This gathering marks
a milestone in Montana's political his

With Boys of City During
the Coming Year.

The October evening meeting of the
Bozeman Rotary Club will be devot-
ed to the boys work of the club, un.

the boys work committee.
In the report which demonstrated
the large amount of real effort the
committee has put into the work, was
embodied the plan for the coming

quaintance between the Rotary com
mittee and the school authorities and
faculty. Also there will be conduct
ed back to school campaign, to en-
courage those boys who have passed
through the grades to go on into the
high school. 1t will be the effort OF
the committee to have boys who have
been out of school for some time star
in to continue their education.
The committee will work with othel
organizations in the city to pronot.
the construction of permanent play
grounds and equip them to make then

citizens Of Bozeman, so that the stu
dents will feel there is eo-operatioi
wfth them in making that department
more successful.

CHAIRMAN SCANLAN
PRAISESPARTY WORK
Points Out Accomplishments of Re-
publican Administration for the
State to the Convention.

Chairman Joseph D. Scanlan, ad-
dressing the Republican state COM
mittee at It's its reorganization meet
ing in Helena Saturday, pointed out
what had been accomplished for the
state and nation since the govern
mental affairs had been placed within
the guidance of Republican hands,
and urged that the present conduct of
affairs be indorsed by all members
of the party uniting in support of
the Republican ticket to be submit
ted to the voters at the general cleo
tion in November.
Chairman Scanlan related how anx-
ious the people of the nation were for
change in the control of the nation
al administration, basing that as a
reason for President Harding having
received such an overwhelming ma
jority at the election two years ago.
He also emphasized what a deplor-
able condition Governor Joseph M.
Dixon found in the finances of Mon
tana when the latter became the chief
executive of the state. He showed
that the system of economy created
by Governor Dixon is gradually over
coming practically bankrupt situa-
tion, one that had been left by Gov
ernor Dixon's predecessors.
All of the present state officials
were extolled for the part they have
taken in their efforts to replace the
state on a substantial basis, in no un-
certain terms the chairman praised
the nominees on the present state Re
publican ticket and urged that they
be given unstinted. Endorsement at th'
!, coming election.
Chairman Scanlan said:
"We have found factional quarrel
{ in the Republican ranks during th
last two years and some of them,
regret to admit, have precipitated
: degree of bitterness, intensified to
! great extent by the Democratic press
? but we must remember that we ar
: all Republicans and our first concer
should be the success of the party
! We all owe much to the Republican OF
: ganization and it i'll behooves any 0
: us to take our revenge out on tn
1 party just because we have not a.

f is the year that we must solidify tn

t we all put our shoulders to the whes
and eliminate factional difference

e. as whole we are going to find oul

: add that if Democrats succeed

dissension, nor objections to any plans
proposed for the campaign to be

ed to result in a sweeping victory for
the entire ticket nominated at the re-
cent primaries and an enthusiastic
endorsement of the Republican state
and national administrations the last
two years.
There were no factions in the ranks
of the party by the time the proceed
ings o. the convention got under full
headway late Saturday afternoon

the state central committee would b'
unanimous. Leaders and managers o.

selection of Mr.. Scanlan almost from

tain that with the management of tn

THE TOUCHDOWN To
BE GIVEN TOMORROW

1.-THE Touchdown" the play which
will be presented tomorrow and
Friday night in the Fairmont High

class Of the school, is full OF school
spirit and pep.
The plot is laid around the Hay.
den brothers, who attend Siddell,
Pennsylvania co-educatlonal col
lege. They are supposed to be the
wealthiest boys In school, but
Grant, the elder brother, knows that
his father has lost his money and
that they arc practically penniless.
Not wishing to tell Bob. whose
health is poor, for fear he will in
sist on leaving school, Grant works
diligently on a statue he is model
ing, thereby hoping to win a prize
in sculpture contest, which will
settle their financial troubles for
that year.
In order 10 finish the statue IL
was necessary for him to give up
his position as football player at a
critical time; in fact, Just when
the team was training to meet its
strongest opponent. Not under
standing Grants motives for giving
up his position on the team, his
friends and even his brother accuse
him of being a gutter. Working
against these odds, Grant manages
to finish the statue in time for tho
contest, and then on the very night
OF its completion It is deliberately
destroyed by someone in the col
lege. Watassa, an Indian girl, fig.
ures largely in the tense scenes fol
lowing and manages to end satis.
factorily the difficulty OF the boys.
Interest regarding the play is
running high in the school. rehear
sails are being held each day as
are thuse meetings by the various
classes, and practically everything
Is ready for the opening night.

thing out OF the course and ap-

today, in making a survey OF the

tual happening in the coal mines

panies have been amazed with the
keen. interest that has developed
in the past year.
Last week the Mt. Hope district
had an average attendance Of 1902,
while the Northern West Virginia
had SS in attendance, Of which
the Fairmont class alone had IS.
Figures compiled for the course
up to April l show that in the
average attendance Northern West

third with a weekly average Of

Northern West Virginia's averages

tor and Is not included in A dis

until April l had an average OF 16
in attendance. The class attend
ance has run as high as S5.
The extension mining work Of
the University is far better than
last year, and the interest tS very
keen. The average weekly at
tendance in the mining extension
classes last year with four In
structors in the field was 203.
This year the average weekly at
tendance with six instructors in
the field is $50 4-10. This shows
that the work has increased more
than 100 per cent with but an in
crease Of SO per cent in the in
structing force. This means that
the appropriation to the extension
work must be greater II the work
is to enlarge and be in keeping
