Can't Lose Station

Once a radio fan is tuned in on a
hroadcasting station there is no rea-
son for his losing it at the end of
a selection. This is because nearly
every station has a system by which
1t keeps the listener notified he is
tuned in while waiting for the next
number. In some cases it is a whis-
tie, in other a tick, and others
chimes.

Rod and Gun
Club Dance

There was fierce storm on Satur-
day night, but this did not prevent
about 200 people from meeting in the
X p hall and dancing until the wee
small hours were outgrowing their in
fancy.
+. A wonderful time is the report of
everyone who attended. There were
about a dozen more men than ladies'.
Every lady had to dance every time
while about every fifth dance a man
could step into the cloak room and
have short smoke.
Just right. The floor managers
were alive and kept things moving
early in the evening. After that they
were of no earthly use so cast aside
their high office and enjoyed them
selves with the rest
AT midnight half hour was taken
for refreshments which the men Of
the club furnished. The wind howled
outside, the snow drifted into long,
deep serpentine drifts, the tenpera-
ture dropped but not one of the dane
ers knew anything about II until they
stepped out of the hall into the bafz-
zard as they started for home.
When the Belt Rod and Gun club
can pull off dance like this on such
a night, what could they do were the
fates propitious and the weather fine J

Pythian Sis

The party given by the Pythian Sis
ters for their friends Friday night
WIS a very pleasant affair not with
standing the inclement weather.
About sixty people played 500 at
which Mrs. j. X. Culver was success
full in winning head prize, cut glass
dish. John Jaap carried home the
mems first prize, an ash tray Of new
and wonderful design.
After the cards the ladies served
lunch, consisting of sandwiches,
pickles, coffee, cake and strawberry
ice cream with real strawberries in IT,
A three-storied cake rested on a
pedestal in the front of the hall sur
rounded by lighted candles. We played
doubly hard for we thought that that
cake was to be head prize and we
have never had all the cake we want
ed in our whole life The direct re-
suit Of our efforts was to everyday our
hand and get in bad with the ladies
who shared our defeat.
Instead of its being prize at cards
each one In the hall was invited 20

One man guessed 10 pounds and
tried TO square himself for his igno-

TOM STOUT EXPRESSES HIS
OPINION OF JOSEPH DIXON

Ever since Joseph Nj. Dixon enter
ed the gubernatorial office, twenty
five months ago, this newspaper has
sought to be fair toward him and his
official acts. 1t has not always been
in agreement with him but has given
him credit for honesty and sincerity
of purpose in the performance of
what he conceives to be his duties.
Due allowances have been made
for the fulsome flattery heaped upon
his administration by party organs
and partisan associate and for the
endless streams of condemnation and
detraction let loose by his antagon-
lists. 1t is, therefore, with the ut
most reluctance that we are brought
to the conviction that Governor Dixon
is not seeking so much to serve his
state as he is seeking to construct a
personal political machine for pur-
poses which promise to rebound nei-
ther to his own credit or to the well
fare of Montana.
In his appointment of three men,
bers of the newly created tax commits
sion, Governor Joseph NJ Dixon con-
firms the charges made by his enc
mics and makes utterly impossible
any adequate defense by his friends.
His selections constitute one of the
most braxen specimens of "the pub
lie be damned" acts ever perpetrated
IN the history of our state. Governor
Joseph M. Dixon must know, as every
other person in Montana knows, that
not one of the men selected az men,
bers of the commission Is in any man.
ner qualified to perform even with
reasonable intelligence and efficien-
cy. Governor Joseph M. Dixon must
have known also that he could have
obtained the services of men who
have given the very intricata -nse tier
of taxation some intelligent study
and whose appointment would have
met with the approval of all fair
minded people Of the state.
Our governor has only himself TO
blame If even his friends are now in
quiring, "Why did he do it?" He has
only his own action to blame for the
reply which one hears on every side.
Men who do not entertain any per-
sonal or political enmity toward Gov
ernor Dixon, who are level-headed
fair-minded, independent thinking cit
izens Of this state, are now saying
openly and somewhat vehemently that
our governor did not seek competent,
deserving men for tax commissioners
but that he sought and named men
whose only qualifications are SER
vile, personal and political attach
ment to the man who selected them.
The good people of this state arc
saying unreservedly that Governor
Joseph M. Dixon proposes to domi-
nate the tax commission and the be-
lief is expressed with equal positive
ness that his purpose IN controlling
the commission through the selection
Of puppet members is to use the pow
cr which will be his. to -browbeat in
timidate and punish those who dare
criticise or oppose his administra-
ton.
Governor Dixon is not himself any
thing approaching an expert on taxa
ton. He is not competent, even
though there were not enough other
administrative duties to occupy his
