TREASURY P 0 s I
UNDER BALDWIN
Newcomer to Ranks of Conser-
vatisnl, WHICH He Quit Years
Ago, Given Position

LONON, Nov. STANLEY Bald
win, the new prime minister has
lost no tine in drawing up the list
of his new cabinet, which was sub
mitted to and approved by the king
last night. The king will hold a
privy council at Buckingham palace
today for the transfer of the seats
on office from the old to the new
ministers, who will take the oath
and comply with other necessary
formalities.
The selection of Winston Chnr-
chill as CHANCELLOR of the exchequ-
err in the new cabinet of Premier
Stanley Baldwin was definitely an
nounced. Other definite cabinet
selections were secretary for India,
Earl of Birkenhead; Colonies, leu
tenant Col. L. C. M. S. Amery;
foreign secretary, Austen Chamber
lain; president of the council and
leader of the house of lords, Mar
quis of Curzon; privy seat, Marquis
of Salisbury; lord chancellor, Wis
count Cave; home secretary, Sir
William Joynson-H Hicks; agricul-
tural, Edward Frederick Lindley
Wood; first lord of the admiralty,
William Give Brakeman; war, Sir
Laming Neutrality-suspicious.; air
minister, Sir Samuel j. G. hoane.
1t is understood that this list of
ministers constitutes the cabinet, al
though it is officially announced
that it is not neeessariiv complete.
The other ministersa nd under secre
taries will be named later and the
government is not likely to be COM
pleted until next week. The cabf'
net ministers, however, will be able
to follow custom and attend the lord
mayors banquet Monday in their
official capacity.
On the whole, the new cabinet is
likely to be well received by the
country, but Premier Baldwin sup
piled two first class surprises, the
first, in killing the fatted calf for
Churchill, a new conner to the ranks
of conservatism, which lie deserted
twenty years ago, and the second,
whic his generally hel dto be corr
sequence of the first, in the exclu.
sion of Sir Robert Stevenson Horne.
Mr.. Churchill, by reason of his
political record, which under one
party or another covered the most
important offices in the govern
ment, could have considered himself
entitled to high office, but it was
generally supposed, in view of his
so recent reconversion to the con-
servative creed that he would be re-
CURED to serve sort Of novitiate
period in one Of the less important
offices. Under the liberal flag as
now under the conservative colors,
he always waged unceasi1g and bit.
ter was against socialism and bolshe
vism and since the recent elections
were won by the conservatives on an
anti-socialist plank, MIR. Churchill
undoubtedly held that he was there
by entitled to the highest considera-
ton.

settlement of their interests, and
then, too, our lease on the building
we now occupy, will expire this Fall.

MONTANA STATE PRESS ASSOCIATION FOR THE
FIRST TIME ON ITS HISTORY REFLECTS ALL ITS
OFFICERS AIT 1924 CONVENTION lM LEw1STO OWN

County Argus, put the motion before
the convention and 1t was carried
with every delegate standing except
President Warden and Secretary S. e.
Peterson.
In voicing the wish of the conven-
tion that President Warden and the
other officials be reelected, Mr.. Stout
referred to the constructive program
to the Press association, which had
been started during the last year, and
termed 1t one of the most important
activities ever taken on by any as
ISOLATION of professional or business
men of the state. He said the associ-
alton needed the leadership and Wis
ion of men of the type of Mr.. War
Den and the other officers, and that
the state and the Press association
would be greatly benefited II they
were continued In their present posi-
tions.
H. o. Woare, editor of the Chester
Reporter and first vice-president of
the association, who probably would
have been elevated to the presidency,
and Martin ]. Hutchlns. editor OF the
Missoulian and second vice-president,
who probably would have been ele-
waited to the first vic-presidency, Sc
conded Mr.. stout's resolution, ex-
planning that they did so because they
believed with Mr.. Stout that Presi-
dent Warden was the one man of the
state who could, as president, build
the association up TO greater strength
and accomplish great deal In har-
monizing some of the animosities
now existing between few editors.
The other officers reelected are:
First vice-president. H. o. Woare.
Chester Reporter; second vice-presi-
dent. NJ. J. Hutchins, The Missoul-
ian; third vice-president Joseph Geh-
rett, Laurel Outlook; and secretary

CRAVEN is ELECTED AS.
PERMANENT HEAD OF.
STATE SCHOOL OF MINES.

Chancellor M. A. Brannon of the
University of Montana, has announc-
ed that the state board of education
has given President George w. GRAY
en- of the Montana State School OF
Mines a permanent appointment to
the position he has held the past
three years under limited term ar
rangement.
President Craven came to the
School of Mines in 1904 as professor
of mathematics and mechanics, and
was elevated to his present position
in 1921, when former President G. H.
Clapp left to assume the presidency
of the Montana State University at
Missoula. The appointment was for
three-year term. At that time the
comprehensive building program for
the various institutions of the uni
versity, made possible by the bond is
sue of 1920, was just getting started
and the new head Of the Montana
Mines was faced by heavy burden OF
extra work, far in excess OF that or
dinarily to be met.
During his administration thus far
President Craven has completed and
equipped new 100000 chemistry
and metallurgy building and a new
$4,000 engineering hall, with I'M
usually commodious facilities for de-
signing and drafting. In addition he
has remodelled old main hall and the
mill building making them up to date
in every respect, securing sufficient
class rooms, and installing fine equip
ment for teaching assaying and ore
dressing.

used to construct roads. He also
pays a gas tax which should as well
go for road purposes, because the use
of the gas wears out the highways.
Any other use OF these moneys is a
moral perversion in taxation. The
outstanding need at the present time
is highway system connecting
through continuous mileage all Of
principle cities and county seats Of
the state. The only possible way TO
reach this objective is through state
fund into which should be turned, we
believe, one-half OF the license tax
and all of the gasoline tax to match
up the federal aid money which is
available on the basis OF per cent
government money over against AZ
per cent OF state funds. A consecu-
tive state system can only be built
upon centralized direction. BY this
procedure the present property taxes
for the roads can in a few years be
greatly reduced.

with pleasure its grateful enjoyment
of the hospitality OF the people OF the
