BRYAN SAYS FORD ENDORSE
MENT WILL HURT COOLIDGE

Miami, Florida.-William Jennings
Bryan, candidate fer delegate to the
national democratic convention from
this state, issued a statement on De-
cember 22nd, in regard to Henry
Ford's endorsement of President Coo
lidge in which he states that the re-
action will hurt Coolidge instead of
helping him. The statement follows:
The first impression made by Mr..
Ford's statement will probably be
favorable to President Coolidge's can
candidacy, but the reaction is likely
to prove a damaging blow to the
president.
"Mr. Ford has been talked of as a
candidate of the masses, his support
coming from both democrats al. re-
pubLcans who interpreted his candi-
dacy a protest against the republi-
can leaders and some of the demo-
cratic leaders. Mr.. Ford, as the mil
lionaire champion Of the poor people
of the country, would make an in
spring spectacle, but Mr.. Ford loses
his prominence when he joints with
the rest of the big business men III
support of a reactionary candidate.
"He will not carry with him any of
the plutocrats, because they are al
ready supporting Mr.. Coolidge; the
presidents opposition to the excess
profits tax made sure of their sup
port; but Mr.. Ford's desertion viii be-
come more pronounced as the cam
paign approaches. The men who have
difficulty in keeping their household
expenditures within their incomes
mistakenly, it now .seems-as their
friend.
"FIis use of the word safe in de-
scribing President Coolidge will sug-
gest a companion word, sane which
usually accompanies the word safe
when used to describe public men and
political policies. Those who talk of
safe and sane candidate reflect
upon the intelligence as well as upon
the good purposes of the masses
President Coolidge will find Mr.. FOrc
the most expensive booster who has
yet climbed into the band wagon; his
action emphasizes the deeping divi-
sion between those with big incomes
and those with small incomes"

STATE PEDAGOGUES
INDORSE INCOME TAX

The teachers of Montana, for the
second time, are backing an income
tax for the state, according to reports
brought back from the meeting Of the
Montana State Teachers association
at Billings last week.
Resolutions adopted by the assemb-
ly placed the association on record as
favoring a strict and uniform en-
forcement of the compulsory school
attendance law, disapproved beet sug-
ar harvest vacations in certain dis
tricts of the state and pledged the
support Of the assembly, the local
units and individual members to the
support of the effort to initiate the
income tax law, through which need
ed additional school revenue might be
supplied.
A report recommending that such
an effort be made once more, despite
it's failure few years ago, was sub
mitted by the legislative committee,
consisting of Miss May Trumper, Ira
B. Fee, J. A. Woodland of Bczeman,
S. R. Logan of Hardin, and C. S.
Manning of Lewistown.
The report, as submitted by this
committee, follows:
"The constitution of the state of
Montana, in article XI, section 6, in
struct the legislative department of
the state government to provide suf-
fcient funds to pay approximately
One-third of the cost of operating
schools in each and every organized
school district in the state.
"The legislative department Of the
state government has not complied
with this constitutional requirement.
'The educational opportunities
guaranteed to the children by the con-
stitution, having been withheld, are
now in danger of being further cur
tailed and are, in fact, wholly denied
to large numbers of children.
"a concerted effort on the part OF
selfish groups has been launched ii
limit children in their educational
birthright for the express purpose OF
maintaining a large element Of TIE
population in ignorance.
CHE fundamental evils are:
81. Almost exclusive dependence
upon the general property type Of
taxation for supporting schools.
"2. DisprOportionate dependence
on the smallest unit of taxation
namely, the school district, resulting
in extreme inequality cf school oppor
tunities and Tax burdens.
: go. The relative or complete es
cape from taxation of large proper
ton of our total wealth, because Ct
oar almost entire reliance upon the
property tax.
"Since the income tax will reacl
many of the forms of wealth which
have been escaping their just share
of taxation and at the same time viii
relieve the unfair burden resting upol
property.
Therefore, be it resolved, that W.
recommend, for the purpose of assist
ing the legislative assembly in car
rying out the provisions of articl
XI, section 6, of the constitution, tn
initiation of cooperation with othe
organizations of a bill for an incom
tax, the proceeds to be distributed 70
the better equalization of school cp
portunities and for the lowering o
special school levies."

quents at night. Upon this box place
a barrel near one end and so that
one-third of the barrel is outside of
the end of the box. In this end of
the barrel place some strong bait to
attract the skunk.
The skunk will smell the bait and
as he gets into the barrel to eat it.
his weight will tip the barrel down
with the skunk at the bottom of it.
A man can then carry the barrel
on his shoulder out away from the
buildings and as he lays the barrel
on the ground the skunk will run out
and he can shoot the skunk.

MUSCLE SHOALS POWER SITE.


Washington, Jan. Henry FOrd's
offer for the Muscle Shoals, Ala,
power project and his recent indOrse-
ment of President Coolidge were dis
cussed by Senator Johnson Of Cali
fornia, candidate for the republican
presidential nomination, in a state
ment on the night Of December 22nd.
Declaring that Mr.. Ford was a
marvellous business man." Senator
johnson recalled that shortly before
indorsing Mr.. Coolidge, the Detroit
manufacturer had criticized Secretary
Weeks for opposing his offer for
Muscle Shoals.
american politics present a most
interesting psychological study" said
the statement.
Henry Ford has declared for Mr..
Coolidge because, as he says, Mr..
Coolidge is safe Immediately the
part of the press Of the country rep
resenting special privilege, which has
always denounced and caricatured Mr..
Ford. give him a certificate of char
acter and with open arms, welcomes
him to its ranks. Perhaps the time
is propitious for Emma Goldman and
Bill Haywood to return, declare for
Mr.. Coolidge and be acclaimed by the
same special privilege press.
WHAT He SAID OCTOBER Is.
But in the light of Mr.. Ford's pre-
vious utterances, just when did Mr.
Coolidge, in MIR. Ford's opinion, be-
come 'safe?' On the 18th day of Oc-
tober. after Mr.. Coolidge had been in
Office for more than two months, and
when Secretary Weeks had sold what
Ford claimed to be a part Of the
Muscle Shoals project, Mr.. Ford de
nounced in unmeasured terms the
secretary of war, and inferentially
the administration as being under the
control of private interests inimical
to the farmers, and the secretary of
war made an angry rejoinder.
obviously, according to Mr.. Ford
the administration of Mr.. Coolidge
was then unsafe and didn't even wish
to do right. Thereafter, Congressman
Madden gave to the press the outline
of a measure he would introduce in
congress, apparently for the admin
istration, designed to give Mr.. Ford
Muscle Shoals, and a plant cf like
character to that sold by Weeks. The
measure of the president on the sixth
day of December was not inimical tt
this plan. Mr.. Madden's bill was
then introduced, and IS now pending

Ford gives out his safe interview.

HAIL INSURANCE PLAN
WORKS IN SASKATCHEWAN

Winnipeg, Man.-With a total loss
of $1,28O,OOG for the season the Sas-
katchwean Municipal Hail Insurance
association has already paid out in in
IDENTITIES for hail loss approximately
a million dollars since October 1.
Since that date the association has
collected a total of $1,O5O,OOO in pre-
miums from the municipalities. This
did not represent current levies, a
considerable sum being in respect of
arrears. Some municipalities, how
ever, have paid the association the
entire amount of their current levy
without waiting to collect it all from
the farmers.
The associations reserves include
100000 in farm lean bonds and
over 100000 in Victory bonds. There
is ample security to support a loan,
if one is needed from the banks.
