Teachers Statement
CONTINUED from Page One)

here last year, writes from Birming-
ham, Alabama, that she wishes she
were back here because of the ideal
attitude existing between teachers,
superintendent and students. She
frankly admits that she has never at
tended or taught in a school where
there was a disciplinary system SUI
perior to that here.
The faculty of the Wolf Point
school find it a pleasure to work in
such a system where the energy can
be concentrated on other than dis
culinary measures and the whole en-
dorse Mr.. Livingston's methods of
discipline.
One argument sometimes used in
opposition to the reelection of Mr.
Livingston is that although his work
has been perfectly satisfactory, a
change is often a good thing. This
is not the principle advocated by the
government or by business men with
their employees. Each year brings
added efficiency. This is especially
true of the SUPPLEMENTARY. Each
years service brings a better under
standing of the individual needs of
the pupils. Mr.. Livingston knows
the problems and has the best in
terests at heart of each of the pupils
in the schools, both town and rural.
Quoting from a letter from Mr..
Carl lessen, state high school in
spector for the last three years:
"Mr. Livingston, I believe, has learn
ed much about school work in the
past three years. 1t seems to me
that if he has given satisfaction
through three or more years of train
ing in Wolf Point, he ought to be
much more valuable to your COM
munity in the future than he could
possibly have been in the past"
Six years is not a long period of
service for a superintendent. D. S.
Williams has been at Glasgow for Is
years. DR.. Jordan was superintend-
emit of the Minneapolis schools for
25 years. What incentive would
there be for any teacher or superin-
tendent to give his level best to his
work if, after six years of devoted
service, it would be acknowledged
with a curt "Move along, you have
been here long enough?"
The following telegram from Mr..
Earl Champlin, Ogden, Utah, who
was chairman of the board two years
ago, should clear up some of the
misunderstanding regarding the re-
election of Mr.. Livingston two years
ago: Contract for two years was
offered by board and entered into
best of faith, with full consent
If every member. Mr.. Livingston
;ook no advantage whatever, as we
lad plenty of time"
1t is possible that some of the pat
'ons of the school do not realize
hat when the school board gives
directions to the superintendent re-
protection and care of the
'chool property that these directions
must be carried out even if it causes
difficulties with students and parents.

Western Fruit Express
Filling Ice Houses

The Western Fruit Express equip
ment at it's local ice plant now has
power connections with the Listerud
plant and has crews filling its houses.
A large quantity of ice from the
company's spring fed reservoir at
Wolf Creek has already been ship
ped to Havre. The company has not
yet completed the extensive improve
ments and enlargement planned for
its local plant.

indicates that repeal of taxes on tel
ephones, kilograms and candy will be
recommended. The principal argu-
ment, however, concerns the rate of
sur-taxes. Some agreement will be
necessary between the two major
parties before a tax reduction meas
ure a be reported to the House.
The President has declared that
he is willing to give full credit for
the tax bill to those who vote for 1T,
and it is not his intention, he says,
to claim it as a partisan bill. He be-
lieves that further consideration of
the treasury proposals and substi-
tute measures will prove that the
Mellon plan is more popular. How
ever, the minority in Congress do
not share his view.
The agricultural problem is claim
ing the attention of all branches OF
the government. With the President
taking the lead there is a concerted
movement for farm relief which may
bear fruit. In the Senate, the farm
bloc leader, Senator Capper, of Kan
claims the repeal of Section l5-a
of the transportation act would re-
restrictions from the Interstate
Commerce Commission and permit
them to lower rates On agricultural
products.
Export Commission
The Senate Agricultural Commit
tee has been conducting hearings on
the McNally-Haugen bill, which pro-
vides for a grain export corporation.
Various agricultural organizations
have endorsed the measure. The
President has also given his unquai-
fed approval to the Norbeck-Burnl-
hon bill for Government loans to
Northwestern farmers for the pur-
pose of crop Investigation and the
purchase of live stock.
A special report prepared by the
Department of Commerce issued this
week, shows tibet 80 per cent of the
total trade of the United States with
Europe consists of farm products.
It is stated that the manufacturing
population east of the Mississippi
river is becoming more dense and
will an increasing proper
ion of the food and raw materials
Produced in this country. 1t is pre-
licted, however, that a surplus OF
products will be found because
he local demand will stimulate pro-
and will tend to intensity
cultivation on the best farm lands.
Various Measures
Senator Borah, Rep, of Idaho, in
reduced a bill to regulate the coal
Industry. 1t was drafted by Cover
Tor Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, and
ubmitted to Senator Capper, who
eturned it to the author because
was not in sympathy with its
rovisions. Senator Walsh, DEM, of
Massachusetts,, offered a bill to abol-
sh the Shipping board and provide a
bureau of Merchant Marine in the
Department of Commerce. Mr..
Walsh has also offered an amend
nent to the tariff act to place sugar
the free list. Senator Copeland
f New York, filed a joint resolution
would establish a committee
o investigate and determine the eff
ect of existing rentals on the high
ost of living. He also introduced a
ill to authorize nationwide record
ng of finger-print and foot print of
II children born in this country. Mr..
'inkham, Republican, of Mass, has
bill placing prohibition enforce
nent agents under the civil service.

as it may be projected into the 1924
presidential campaign as an issue.
Proposals have been made in the
Senate to cancel the lease of the oil
companies now operating on these
properties in accordance with a reso-
luton introduced by Senator Cara
way. who claims that the lease is
against the public interests and vas
made by private negotiation and is
practically a seizure of the petroleum
reserves. The proceedings center
around a lease executed by the then
Secretary of the Interior, Albert
Fall. and several oil operators. The
hearings transcend in Importance all
other committee Investigations.
Investigations
The Borah Committee is conduct
ing an inquiry into charges of the
State Department regarding activ-
tiles of the Russian Soviet in this
country.
The Senate Committee investi-
eating propaganda has made little
Roadway in determining the motives
back of the Box Peace Plan.
Chief Justice Taft is urging legis-
lation before the House Judiciary
Committee to authorize the appoint
ment of two judges in the Eighth
Court of Appeals, comprising thir-
teen western states, contending that
an increase in the judiciary is nee
essary.
The House Committee on Educa-
ton is now considering the voca-
tional rehabilitation bill, and the Mil
itary Affairs Committee is giving
study to the Muscle Shoals proposals.
The House Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee is conducting hearings on var
ious proposals for the extension and
deepening of inland waterways.
Tax Contentious
President Coolidge has impressed
government executives with the ne
cessity of strict economy. He is
against the policy of granting sub
sides from the Federal Government
to the states as a form of ~extravag-
ance. The feeling exists among fed
eral officials that the states and mu-
inequalities should evince more inter
est in the reduction of local taxes
through essential economies in ope-
rating costs. 1t is stated that the
Federal income tax in 1921 amount
ed to $6.79 per capita, as against
$68.37 per capita of all taxations,
Federal state and local.
The uncertainty over tax reduc-
ton plans continue undated. There
is talk of compromise among con-
gressional leaders but the attitude of
President Coolidge brings consider
able concern to public leaders. He
is opposed to changes in the admin
istration tax bill, though Republican
leaders have submitted reports that
indicate marked concessions must be
made.
Minority Leader Garrett claims
that the Democrats will fight for the
adoption of their tax reduction plan
and declares that the President would I
not dare veto a measure of this kind !
in event it passed Congress. There
has been a move toward ~redrafting
the Mellon plan by the Republican
majority in the House Ways and
Means Committee as a method of
keeping the substance of Treasury
proposals. A poll of the committee

Senator Harris, Democrat, of
Georgia, believes that the Postmaster
General should conduct experiments
in the rural mail service to develop
the transportation of food products
directly from producer to consumer,
and has offered a bill to that effect.

This order means much to the
American public. 1t is one of the
most important and far reaching
steps in post office history. 1t is for
the benefit of those who desire to
have their newspapers placed before
them at as early a moment as pos
sible. This should keep both the
city and rural population in closer
and quicker touch with their several
fields of activities.

Junk cast up on the be

The sun is smiling brightly, and the smoke has cleared away, the camp is hitting on all six, after election day. Some folks are grouping blindly, and gasping some for air; they say that our elections are something else but fair.
 Joe Holman roams the streets and says, Kid, ain't that great, and re- member wot I told you, of that piv- otal state. They didn't fool me one darn bit and I'd have dough to burn if any one had bet me, for surely called the turn.'
 Wayne Blue is sad and fearful, and life seems just sob, he says back in Virginia 'tmy pal has lost his job. Of course it may be for the best, but I can't see it now, the Bourbon vote has lost the race; but still I don't see how. John Troy went east to see the show, he wrote me all was good, and I believed in Johnny Troy, as all good Demos should, and now see where we land our boat, Oh, where was McAdoo, there's nothing I can see but woe, and what will people do.
 But "Cigaroots" is cheerful, as he notes his party's doom, he sees the sunshine in the clouds, there's some thing more than gloom. He says the "boys who won the race, the gang who led the mob, will pity us poor Democrats, and see we get job. I'm getting old to make change, and I wish that we had won. And hope a party soon springs up that wants native son. This thing will break the "State of Maine" I'm glad he is not here to see the bunch they handed us, the jig is up fear. Bill Hawkins walks the streets and frowns, and says told you so, if Smith had not beat McAdoo we would have had show. Of course that war game queered our gang, but Wilson now has passed and l think I'm thru with politics, we democrats don't last. I'm sorry for the boys outside, it will sure be one tough fall, they'll pry them off the payroll, and give Republicans the call. And still my brother told me, and I really should have known. Now Republicans will get the meat, and there won't be any bone.
 Judge Whittlesey says, T guessed wrong, and that was years ago, but

l was raised Democrat, and they can't change you know. Still, twas worse than 1 suspected the way we all got soaked, it looks as if Cal Coolidge, had our whole gang "commoked."
 "Cop" wears a smile that won't come off, a grin with every smile, he says \ knew we had 'em beat-we had 'em beat mile. I knew we'd carry Washington and likewise, too New York, we had that bunch all tight ened up, like a bottle round a cork. La Toilette got Wisconsin; Davis didn't win heat. We'll, I knew be- fore l left the East, we had the whole'world beat. 1 wired old Cal this morning and told him what to do, for he told me when I left him, Cop, Alaska's up to you'" George Sexton wears a happy grin. when you ask him who's elected, George ventures this opinion, "Well, it's just as expected. I saw the whole thing weeks ago, the time toured the East, knew we'd barba- cue La Toilette and serve Davis for a feast. We have the proper line up, there's some things I must ar range, and before the spring time comes again you're going to see a change.
 And so the gang is satisfied and each one seems to know that Cal would be elected, and La Toilette had no show. That Davis, while a decent guy, he never had a chance, and that Coolidge was the only bet for the coming four years dance. The election is all over, and now it's up to us, to settle down to business and forget this little fuss. Dan Sutherland got sundry votes, but he had a narrow call, and if he's wise he'll take a glance at the writing on the wall. Things are getting back to normal, this pickering gets our goat, and there'd be a lot more changes if all hands would only vote.
 No matter who's elected and what party gets the call, if we want 10 cop the hot cakes, we'll have to hit the ball. 1t makes damn little diff ference to man up here today, we have to work for what we get, no matter what they say. We must have coin to pay our bills, and buy the baby shoes, and the average man will have to work, no matter, win or lose.

COOLIDGE SWEEPS
 COUNTRY, WINNING
 ALL STATES BUT IA

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Calvin Cool idge has swept the country for re- election and according to United Press returns today has taken with him to Washington a clear working majority in both the Senate and the House. His sweeping victory is shown by the facts that of all the States in the Union with a total electoral vote of 531, all swung into the Coolidge col umn but fourteen, Davis taking 13 Southern States with 136 electoral votes and La Toilette taking his home state with 13 electoral votes. Coolidge will have over 300 votes in the cleo toral college.
 The total popular vote throughout the country will exceed 1,5000,0O0, and his victory is the greatest in many years.
 Coolidge Expresses Thanks
 The President today expressed his simple thanks as one of the first acts after his election was assured. Ut does not seem possible to me-" said MT. Coolidge, in a statement given to the newspapers, "to make adequate expression concerning the presidency of the United States. No honor can equal it; no responsibility approaches it. When it is conferred by an over whelming choice of the people and the vote of the electoral college these are all the greater. I can only express my simple thanks to all those who have contributed to this result and plainly acknowledge that it has been brought to pass through work of Di- vine providence of which I am but an instrument. Such powers as I have I dedicate to the service of all my country and all my countrymen."
