COUNTY SPLITTERS
GETTING BUSY

Poplar Standard: Reviving a fight
comemnced two years ago, south side
people are back of a movement to
carve a new county out of parts Of
Richland and McCone county. The
movement is backed by some of the
leading citizens of the south side and
it is expected that bill to create the
new county will be introduced shortly
in the legislature at Helena.
The county will be known as Red
water and will have the same lines as
Incorporated in the petition drawn
up by the south side people two years
ago. On the east the lines would run
east to Charlie creek, between Lam
bert and Enid. The east line would
also take in Ritchey, which town
would be the county seat. The south
side line would include the Bloomfield
country, while the west line would ex-
tend to the Vida country, take in Nick
wall and go as far as the Purdy ranch
The Missouri river would be the
north side boundary line.
While the present assembly has not
declared itself on bills for new coun-
ties, the southsiders sponsoring Red
water county are said to have some
strong backing in Helena.

CITY COUNCIL HAS
QUIET MEETING
AID. TANG FORCES MAYOR TO
ACT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER
CITY COUNCIL HIRES ATTY.
S. E. PAUL.

The City Council met Monday at
the regular meeting in the Council
chambers, Mayor Crave and all Of
the Aldermen being present.
Reading and approval Of the min
utes of the previous meeting was first
in order Of business. The next inn
portant business taken up was in
regard to hiring a city attorney for
a period of a few months at the regu-
lar salary. It seems that the Mayor
had not appointed a city attorney and
when the question came up as to
why he had not appointed a lawyer to
look after the city's business for a
few months, he said that he and the
Council could not agree as to who the
attorney should be. Mr.. Tang then
asked him to appoint an attorney and
see whether the Council agreed with
him or not. Mr.. Crave appointed
Mr.. Onstad, but he refused absolutely
to take the position. The Mayor Their
would not appoint again, saying that
the Council would not agree with hin
and after little discussion, Alderman
Tang put a motion that Atty. S. E
Paul be hired for the coming few
months, which motion was seconded
and carried.
The dog kennel question came VI
but was Of short duration, it being
laid on the table until the city attor
ney had time to look the matter up.
The Council ordered City Treasure
Erickson to pay over the money tina
belongs to the new Firemen's Relic
Association over to them.
The question of City Clerk did no
come up for various reasons, but nj
doubt will be settled in the nea
future.
After taking up other minor mat
ters the Council adjourned.

REDS IN AMERICA
CAUSE OF TROUBLE

Washington.-When the sensational
author of The Reds in America, a
serial of supposed fact that has
brought half dozen libel suits on the
papers that published it, refused to
answer questions put to him by coun-
sci for the score or more of labor men
in the Michigan case, court proceed
ings were invoked.
Robert M. Whitney, former en-
ploye in the Harvard library, now
Washington representative of the
American Defense society, will have
to answer questions or go to Jail for
contempt if Attorney Frank p Walsh
for the labor defendants succeeds in
his plan.
Whitney refused to answer all ques-
tons put to him, even questions as
to which of the members of the
American Defense society were re-
sponsible for his being employed as
the Washington representative. The
society is anti-radical.
IF the supreme court of the Dis
trict Of Columbia decides that Whit
ney must answer, it is held possible
that William ]. Burns, chief of the
United States bureau of investigation,
and G. E. Harris, general agent of the
department of justice-both Of whom
declined to answer pertinent ques-
tions-may also find themselves sub
ject to contempt proceedings if they
further decline to answer.
The questions were: Did the depart
ment of justice inspire the meeting
at Bridgeman, August 2, 1922, pre-
pare some of the seized documents
and direct the raids?
Before Whitney was asked, under
oath, to make his deposition late in
the day, Mildred Morris, a newspaper
reporter, testified that Whitney told
here he had participated in the
Bridgeman meeting.
Miss Morris testified Whitney told
her he had become affiliated with the
Workers Party of America and had
thus gained entrance to the meeting.
When the raiders broke in, he said,
he had been left behind by his fleeing
companions to hide the papers. This
he did and when department of justice
agents arrived he led them to the
hiding places. Miss Morris said
Whitney denied he was paid by the
department but admitted he cooper
ated with the Burns bureau of inves-
tigation.
When Intercepted by Walsh, Whit
ney denied this.

SENATE ROAD MEASURE
GIVES FEES ENTIRELY
TO THE COUNTY FUNDS
By G. E. La Toilette

If a bill which Senator Henderson
introduced few days ago in the SEN
ate becomes a law the fees from motor
vehicle registration, which have here
tOfore been divided equally between
the state highway commission and the
counties, will be diverted entirely to
the general road fund of the counties.
The law at present is not amended
in any respect except as to the destin-
alton of the funds. The fees for reg
istratiOn remain as they are.
Companion Bill Coming
Senator Henderson will likely file
companion bill naming the county
officials who shall be registrars of IL
censes and there is a possibility that
the work may be taken almost entirely
ly out of the hands Of the secretary
of state except as to keeping a record
of the licenses and description of the
motors.
Under the above mentioned bill
known as S. B. %, the registrar de-
ducts from all fees, the cost of max
ing and mailing all licenses, plates
and certificates and transmits the re-
mainder to the county for which the
registration fee came, where it is to
be deposited to the credit of the gen.
eral road fund Of the county.
