MILES ROMNEY
PROGRESSIVE
FOR GOVERNOR

Candidate for Governor, Democratic
ticket, endorsed by the Conference for
Progressive Political Action, is a con-
structiVe as we'll as a persistent pro-
gressiVe." He organized the Peoples
Power League and led the fight that
gave US the Primary Election Laws,
the Corrupt Practices Act, WOrEmen's
Compensation, and other progressive
measures.
Miles Romney pledges his best efforts
to secure
I. THE KEY AMENDMENT.
2. A BANK DEPOsITORs' GUAR
ANTEE LAW.
3. REDUCTION AND EQUALIZA-
TON OF TAXATION.
Restoration of financial stability is
our first need. Some $50 Montana
banks have failed during the past three
years and lack of confidence permeates
the State. Many failures would have
been prevented had the banking laws
been strictly enforced and not de-
postor would have lost a dollar had the
Nebraska Bank Depostors Guarantee
Law been effective in Montana.
Reduction of taxation may be realized
by application of the principle, "Just
taxation is limited to the needs Of gov
eminent economically administered"
To rid the State of political domina-
ton by privilege seeking corporations
and their be- leweIed lobbyists, Miles
Romney proposes that the voters adopt
the KEY AMENDMENT which will en-
able them to initiate CONSTITUTIONS
AL AMENDMENTS, under the safe
guards of the Initiative and Referen-
dunn Laws. Thus some $1,000 citizens
may exercise the power now abused BY
less than 100 legislators and initiate any
measure for which there Is statewide
demand, without the Intervention Of the
legislature. If a majority vote for the
the measure, it will then be safely
tucked away in the Constitution, out
of reach of privileges seeking interests
that have perverted legislatures and
courts and converted the present Until
alive and Referendum Laws into scraps
Of paper.
Miles Romney would foster agrlcul-
! ture and promote social Justice. His
Instinct for economy was evidenced
when he cast the solitary vote in the
senate of the Eleventh Legislative AS
sembly against construction of the two
new wings to the Capitol which he pre-
dicted would be quickly filled and over
flowing with additional office holders
He has demonstrated efficiency as a
successful business man and as ar
executive officer in the Army during
the World War.
A Forbes, Daugherty or Fall may
prove efficient and economical In mat
ters of routine administration, but, lack
ina fidelity, they and other serVitor'
of special privilege have fiched from
crippled soldiers, prostituted the De
partment of Justice and bartered ava!
natural resources belonging to State AM
Nation.

And Basement-NOthing But Cash
Is Missing.

Crosby N. Dak.-The Ingwalson de-

bed on Tuesday evening of this week,
when thieves entered the store and
made their escape with approximately
S75 in cash.
According to a rport as given to
The Journal, it is thought that the
work was done by local artists, or at
least by someone who was thOrOly ac-
quainted with the premises. En-
trance to the store is believed to have
been gained thru a coal shute into
the basement, after which a door in
the rear of the store, leading from

ing gross frauds, violence, and corrup-
ton in the last elections, and that
Porto Rico by maladministration has
been reduced to a state of bankruptcy,
n citizens committee of natives has
petitioned President Coolidge and is
preparing to petition congress, for an
investigation.
AS the first move, Coll Cuohi, former
speaker of the Porto Rican house of
representatives, has protested to the
President against the forthcoming is
sue of Porto Rican bonds. Detailed
charges of the alleged election frauds
are to be included in the memorial to
congress The protest before the Presi-
dent deals mainly with the condition of
the islands finances and alleged waste
of public money.
The protest gives an accounting of
the islands finances as far back as
1900 to show that millions of dollars in
favorable balance occurred for the first
time in Is years. The protestants also
assert that the island budget was in
creased six million dollars in the last
two years compared with the previous
biennial period, and that for the first
time in Porto Rico's history, it was
necessary in order to balance the 1924
budget, to borrow $2,0OO,OO0 and draw
upon the islands trust fund for more
than 100000.

debts should be incurred by the is

NV Associated PreSs)

LONDON. Dec. 20.-The delegation
from the British Trade Union congress,
which has Just returned from a SIX
weeks tour of inspection in Russia has
issued preliminary report pending the
preparation of a detailed report for
publication later.
The report declares that the social
economic and industrial conditions in
Russia have improved enormously
since n trade union delegation made q
similar visit in 1920, while the dele
gates agreed that rapid progress in
economic restoration now is going on
The financial stability of the coun
trv. it was stated, was found to be more
secure than was expected, industrial
undertakings being rapidly developed
especially in the direction of electrical
power. The delegates were deeply I'M
pressed with the high degree of organic
ing the administrative capacity and en-
tbusiasm of the workers under state
ownership.
The work of housing, education and
social betterment generally is making
great progress, the report relates, and
religious institutions have complete
freedom. Prostitution, gambling, ant
other vices are being rapidly eliminated
by educational effort and drastic state
regulations, it was declared.
In concluding, the preliminary re
sumo states that the coming detailed
report will prove that millions of new
capital could properly and safely be in
vested in the development of the
enormous possibilities of Russia.

TRAPPER ARRESTED
IN WOMAN'S DEATH
Reamer Denies He Knows Any
thing OF Staying
(By Associated Press.)

GLENCOE, Mimi, Dec. 20.-Tony
Reamer, a trapper, wanted in connec-
ton with the death of Mrs. Elsie
Wheeler, of Clearwater, Kansas, was
taken in custody at the home of his
father at Stewart, late today.
Brought to the county Jail here, Rea-
mer declared. he had no knowledge OF
the Staying, except that which he gave
before coroner's inquest held in the
cabin in Northern Minnesota where Mrs.
Wheeler was found dead with butcher
knife plunged through her side.
Reamer was chopping wood when APP
pretended and offered no resistance to
Sheriff Klaus statement that he was
under arrest. He said he was willing
to go back to Baudette to aid in solv-
ing the woman's death. His personal
opinion, he said, and that of Mrs.
Wheeler's neighbors, was that she either
took her own life or was accidentally
killed.
