CONCRESSL|KELY
TO HIT PAY RAISE
Ball Measure for Salary In
crease Held Not in Line
With Economy.

The bill providing for wholesale
Increase in salaries of Congress-
men and other Government officials
which Senator Ball of Delaware pro-
poses to introduce in the Senate
stands little chance of being passed,
according to members of the Senate
who were interviewed yesterday.
In view of the economy program
adopted by the President and Con-
gress and the possible effect on GER
tain of the constituency of members
of the House and Senate, it is not
believed that the bill could receive
favorable action.
Senator Ball has announced that
inasmuch as he is q retiring Senator,
he feels that he could introduce and
push the bill with perfect propriety.
Purpose of the Measure.
The proposed measure provides for
an increase in salary of the Vice
President from $4,000 to $4,000;
members of the cabinet, from $4,000
to $4,000; members of the House and
Senate. from $500 to $4,000; Speak
er of the House. from $4,000 to Sl5,-
600; justices of the Supreme Court,
from $4,000 to $4,000, and the Chief
Justice. from S14.500 to S2l, 900.
While the opinion was expressed
yesterday by several Senators that
the increase in salary would mate
rally aid them, it is felt that a GER
tain proportion of the public would
be opposed to such action.
LESS Said Held Best Policy.
THE less said about this matter the
better off we will be" said one Sen
ator. Il do not believe that the pro-
posed measure has a ghost of a show.
and if agitated means stirring
things"
Another Senator said that if he
were about to retire he would vote
for the increase, but that he was a
little afraid of the effect on the coun-
try at large, inasmuch as a program
of strict economy was the order of
the day.

ADAY OF SPECIAL HONOR TO OUR FLAG

One day in the year, June 18th, is set aside to honor
the flag-our flag, the flag. Not because it is pretty,
not because it is red and white and blue, not because it
is the personal possession Of every American, but be-
cause of what it means, what it stands for, what it typ
flies, what it prays and what it hopes!
1t means liberty; liberty of thought, liberty of con-
science, liberty of action within just laws, liberty of wor-
ship, liberty Of government. It stands for law and order,
protection and security, justice and a square deal, honor
and righteousness. It typifies the ideals of a hundred
and ten millions Of people, the heritage they have taken
from the hands Of the mighty forefathers, the torch of
happiness in equal opportunity lit in 1776 and kept
brightly burning ever since; It prays for strength to
keep our vision clear; aye, that flag, flying in the breeze,
is an Americans prayer to God for strength to keep what
ne has won Of truth and right, for wisdom to continue upon
earth those social and political liberties which make this
Gods country. And it hopes! It's proud fIutter in the
wind, its beauty overhead, is an outward and visible sym
Dol to all the world of the inner and spiritual hope of every
thinking American that this nation, under God, may 50
act and live that His blessing may continue to rest upon
Honor the flag, this day. Fly it, take off hats to
it, celebrate it. Let there be no hamlet so small in all
this land that a procession is not formed in its honor: let
there be no city SO great and busy that it's citizens for
get the thrill once more at the sight of Old Glory-Se-
lected.

Herring Fish Flour.

New uses for the surplus herring
caught off the coasts of Iceland have
had to be devised, because the supply
is so much greater than the quantity
required to be sailed. Factories for
the preparation of herring flour were
erected in Iceland several years ago,
through Norwegian, Danish and Ice
landic interests. This product Is high
ly priced in Norway as a strength
food, inasmuch as it contains 70 per
cent of fat and protein. Much of this
-four is also exported to Japan, where
1t is used as a fertilizer in connection
with flower growing. AS herring can
be caught in unlimited quantities off
Iceland in summer time, it is planned
In a greater measure than before, in
connection with the sailing for export,
to use herring for strength food and
for oil. Herring oil is extracted by
pressing out the fats in the herring.

titude of the public toward tax re-
duction. In signing the Tax bill last
week the president indicated that he
would ask the congress at the De-
cember session to bring out a new
revenue bill in keeping with the orr
ginal Mellon plan. There is a gen
eral agreement that the 25 per cent
reduction feature must be retained
but the president is not satisfied
with the present law. Further re-
vision of taxes depends upon the SEN
timents expressed to the various
congressman in their home districts
during the next few months. An
important legislative measure which
went over to another session is the
so-called railroad labor disputes bill.
Spokesman for organized labor have
announced that they will make it a
campaign in every district.

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS
"a borrowed editoriall

If the country newspaper profession has any fault it
is that of too great modesty-it is too willing to concede
that it does business in a small way; that it lacks the
thrill of the big things and great power. 1t is too quick to
look up to others in the publishing business and marvel.
There is in this nation a famous publication that is
published on the night Of the bath. 1t is a wonderful
periodical, geographically perfect and filled with
matchless fiction, fact and editorials. It's chief claim to
prominence, however, is in that it has a weekly circula-
big.
In the state Of Minnesota there are 612 weekly
newspapers published in AS locations. If we look at
them purely from a point of circulation and give them
an average Of $50 each-lower than any publisher will
concede-the composite country newspaper of Mime
sofa has a total circulation Of about a half million. If the
country newspapers in this state alone have a half million
the circulation of the nations composite country news
paper must be at least ten times that Of the renowned
publication of two and a half millions. The country news
paper is also big.
The state Of Minnesota has a population of a little
less than two and one-half million. If each country week
ly in the state has four readers for each paper issued,
which is generally conceded, it reaches four out of every
five persons in the state, without regard to location, race,
creed or age. Ii each copy OF the paper has five readers
as some contend, it reaches every human being in the state
and supplies some information and inspiration to those
less fortunate individuals who reside without the states
boundary. Could anything be more thorough, more pow
erful than that? The country newspaper is big.
We are prone to look up to the metropolitan news
paper publishers. We feel honored when they deign to
reprint our editorials or flattered if they abuse our ideals
they recognize us at least. One high-class twin city
daily newspaper has a daily circulation Of 101, 1873. The
population of the city in which it is located is 380,582. IF
that newspaper circulated exclusively in its home city it
would reach one in four Of it's inhabitants, but claims to
circulate in the northwest, which means about six states,
and which means that its circulation must be very thin in
spots. 1t is doubted that the proportionate circulation in
the field it hopes to cover equals that Of the smallest coun-
try newspaper In the most restricted field in the state. 1t
is doubtde that its readers have the same friendly init
mate feeling toward it that the readers of the smallest
weekly have for that. 1t is doubted that in any way the
power Of any publication or group Of publications mea-
sures up TO that Of the composite country newspaper in
the state o. nation. 7

WHEAT GROWERS ASSN.
MAKES FINAL PAYMENT

Checks for a total of approximate.
ly four hundred thousand dollars
are being sent out to members OF
the Montana Wheat Growers AS
ISOLATION this week, in final settle
ment for the fall pool just closed,
according to an announcement from
the office of the association re-
ceived yesterday.
This is the final one of several
payments that have been made to
members of the association since
the opening of the fall pool for the
1928 season, and marks the closing
Of that pool.
Members of the association will be
.gratified at the news of this final
settlement, for it is being made ra-
Their more promptly than had been
expected, and to the membership it
will come as an agreeable surprise.
The Montana Wheat Growers As
ISOLATION has handled a large volume
of wheat this past year, in spite of
many set backs and difficulties, and
the settlement just being made for
the fall pool is the elimination of
a considerable amount of work in
the association offices. The ~associa-
ton represents farmers in all parts
of Montana, and has headquarters
in Lewistown. It is affiliated with
the American Wheat Growers Aso-
ISOLATED, with offices in Minneapo-
lis, Duluth, Spokane, Portland and

Hard Road-Sense In

Bugs Baer, a well known news

with benefit to the safety of traffic.

in tabloid form. "Don't do your

strike a responsive chord in every
man who has had ear-nervous pros

driver stopping in a hurry. "There
are three grades of eggs, but only
n grade of crossing and that's
dangerous" ought to be pasted in the
hat of all those who try to cheat the
train" across its right of way.
"The glass in your windshield is
the same stuff they put in hospital
windows. Which will you look
through" is a very pertinent query,
and "Fifteen miles an hour may be
a chill but fifty is fever" is not too
medical to be understood.
To towns troubled with too much
speeding by tourists, Mr.. Baer sug-
gests 'Speed limit in this town fiji

There has been considerable crit
icism of the motives which actuated
various legislative measures. Some
good citizens contend that the bonus
and postal salary increase measures
were approved by congress primarily
as a bid for the political support of
the beneficiaries or the class of vot-
ers affected by these bills. On the
other hand, the claim is advanced
that congress passed these measures
because it was regarded as legisla-
ton highly essential to the public
welfare. It is, at best, an open ques-
ton upon which the American voters
will render their decision as to the
zeal Of the present office holders.
