REPORT PROGRESS
EXPORT COM. BILL
SENATE DRAFTING BUREAU AT
WORK ON MEASURE OF
WIDE SCOPE

Dwight R. Cresap, president OF the
Montana Export Commission League
in his weekly bulletin, quotes from
several letters he has received from
men interested in the success of the
movement for an American price for
American wheat. He says:
We quote the following from
George C. Jewett's letter, dated at
Washington, D. c., December 18,
1928.
''The bill which we are to propose
has been drafted by the Department
of Agriculture and is now in the
hands of the Senate drafting bureau
for whipping into shape as to con-
stitutionality, etc., and the making
ready for Introduction. We have
asked Senator McNary of Oregon,
who is ranking member of the SEN
ate agricultural committee, to intro
duce the bill, and we believe ne will
although he has not given us any
specific pormise up 10 this time.
Scope of Bill
The bill will go considerably far
ther than does the leaflet put out
by the American inasmuch as it pro-
vides for an export corporation with
a capitalization of $200,000,000
authorized TO purchase exportable
surpluses whenever necessary to do
so to bring about the expected price
results. 1t will provide for the in
clusion of livestock and probably
cotton and contain further provis-
ions that would permit the export
commission to bring any other COM
modify under the jurisdiction of the
bill provided that commodity had a
surplus for sale in foreign countries.
We were in hopes of having our
bill introduced prior to the holidays
that we might make distribution of
printed copies at an early date, but
as the situation now appears we will
not be able to provide introduction
until some time in the early part of
January.
AS soon as the bill is introduced |
we plan to secure about thousand |
copies for distribution over various
pdIIS VI CuC OillOSu koOdCCo. Anu
we will send quite number to you
for use through your Export Com
mission League.
Inasmuch as we do not have the
bill for detailed discussion with the
various Senators and Congressman
we are unable to determine to any
specific degree as to just how the
situation is and what the prospects
for success are. However, what SEN
timent there has developed seems fa-
and we believe there is a
good chance of the bill passing. 1t
is going to mean hard fight, how
ever, and we must nave strong sup
port from the country"
Montana Members Favor
We also quote the following from !
a recent letter from Senator Walsh: !,
''I have gone over the plan giving !
detailed information of the Export :
Commission League and am prepared !
TO give it my support" 7
We also have a letter from Con- {
yressman Scott Leavitt promising his :
active support of our bill in the
House.
A thought of present wheat prices
should cause everyone with an IN
crest in the welfare of Montana to
lse all diligence to enroll every
armer and business man in Montana

CONGRESS AND PRESIDENT
HAVE HARD JOBS AHEAD
By WILLIAM L. DALEY
National Editorial Association Spec
ial to The Herald

Washington, Jan. 2.-Poiitically
the year of 1924 will be '1eap year
with all it's trimmings. There is nc
scarcity of ambitious individuals who
will sue for popular favor at the
polls. Members of Congress return
ing from the holiday recess, are
doubly conscious of their RESPONSE
bilities for the failures of the legis-
lative body. The folks back home
have conveyed the impression to
their representatives that they are
quite competent of thinking for
themselves and will instruct, rather
than be told, what legislation is
good for them. AS Disraeli, the
English statesman said: "there is no
gambling like politics" and the aver
age congressman knows the uncer-
tainty of human preferences.
President Coolidge has charted a
course which he believes to be
proper for the public welfare. Con-
gress has other ideas. 1t is seldom
that the views of the executive and
legislative branches of the federal
government coincide. Nonpartisan
observers say that the new year finds
the President strongly entrenched
behind a program which met with
nationwide approval, especially the
tax reduction features. IAt present
he is the strongest candidate for the
nomination for the Presi
dency for obvious reasons. Con-
gress, on the other hand, is regarded
by many. as an incubus on the tax
payers. The early sessions, marked
by cheap political brawls, lessened
the respect of the public IN this So
called representative assemblage. /
The Congress is now faced with a
dilemma of tax reelection or the
bonus. 1t is generally believed that
the Senate and House will not get
Down to hard-pan on legislative meas
lres until February. Meanwhile,
hey will jockey for position TO in
sure party ascendency this Novem-
Der.
The feeling prevails throughout
5fae country that Congress- should
ievote more time to the enactment
# constructive legislation. The
Usual epidemic of congressional in
has broken out.
If any of the proposed inquiries
ire authorized the chief beneficiary
will be the public stenographers who
ire paid at the rate of $1.25 per
'age for taking volumes of testi-
nony.
There is a joint resolution intro
uced by Representative Magee of
Jew York, now before the House
ommittee on the judiciary, which
vill probably go the way Of good in
1t provides for an amend
nent to the constitution empower
ng the President to veto any item I

HIGHLAND COUNTY

o. B. Recob. of this city, may have
commercial copper mine on land
that he owns in the town of Webster
in Vernon county. He owns 40 acres
of land which he purchased for the
timber 1t is situated on a ridge be-
tween the east and west Kickapoo
about seven miles northeast of La
Fargo.
Mr.. Recob's brother-in-law, the late
James Allen, owned 95 acres adjoin-
ing Mr. Recob's. He prospected on
his land and found a green ore which
he had assayed, and from seven
pounds of ore he secured two and a
half pounds of pure copper. Mr..
Recob has always maintained that
the same deposit was found on his
land as on the White land, and last
week spent his time prospecting. He
sank several holes by hand and with
dynamite, and brought to the city
fifteen pounds of his best ore, which
is exceedingly heavy and undoubted-
ly contains copper deposits. He left
many samples in the pits opened and
could not determine in his weeks
work the amount and extent of the
ore bearing rocks found
He plans now to take the samples
he secured to Madison for analysis,
and refuses to become excited over
the matter until biologists examine
the formation in which he found the
mineral deposit Republican Obser-

FENNIMORE

Chas Pasold of Boscobel came to
the community picnic. Mr.. Pasold
prior to moving to Boscobel, was a
long time resident of Hickory Grove
and one of it's solid and substantial
citizens. He recalls that he came to
this country 81 years ago from Ger
many with only ten dollars in his
pocket. He worked for his uncle,
Chas. Kruel, B. w. Frankenhoff and
others and saved enough money to
buy farm of his own, prospecting ex-
ceedingly. He is married to a sister
of Abe Baumgartner.
Chas. Mauer lays no special claim
to being an expert gardener but he
quite proudly on Saturday brought in
pail of potatoes that in some way got
started and grew to maturity in his
backyard, without any special effort
on his part. The hill produced a fine
lot of tubers of enormous size that
weighed 10 h., 10 o., nearly equal
ling Chas. julius fine sample of last
week. Just as matter of information
the junior editors wife reports digging
up hill in our own weed ridden back
lot that produced 81 fine potatoes, all
of bakeable size and whole lot of lit
tie ones, beside all from one hill. Too
bad we didn't weigh the lot. Beat that
if you can.
Friday evening about o'clock, a
fire on the Thomas Hill farm, south of
Preston destroyed the machine shed
and contents. Thomas was filling a
can with gasoline from a barrel in the
machine shed when his four year old
son came near with lantern and the
gasoline exploded. Mr.. Hill and his
son made their getaway and in a few
minutes the entire machine shed was
onfire The barrel of gasoline stored
therein exploded and blew right up
through the roof of the building and
a barrel of kerosene also exploded
and burned, besides containers of
grease and cylinder oil. Some of the
machinery items stored in the machine
shed at the time were practically
new Fordson tractor mower, hay
loader and several other farm i'm
p1ements. The shed was a good sized
one and the loss was quite heavy
one. The fire company from here
started for the fire but received word
too late to be of any avail and return
ed to the city.-TimeS

CASSVILLE

Last Sunday evening Mrs. Thos. w
Finney was invited by her dutiful son
Arthur to step into his new car for
ride-he and she, and when they
returned to the Finney home supper
was ready and in the parlor a num-
Der of family folks from town and out
of town were there to join in celebrat-
ing Mrs. Finney's birthday anniversary
complete surprise on the lady.
Good time for all.
The oil house and storage shed at
Klindt-Geiger's canning farm burned
about midnight, destroying a tractor,
plows and other machinery and the
supply of oil, also a car belonging to
an employee, Adam w. Drasen. In
surance on the tractor and on the
building still leaves loss of over
81 900. Just how the fire originated is
not known.
A number of men with motor trucks
came to Cassville about four months
ago and rented rooms and occupied
them. They were "loggers" looking
for walnut trees large enough for logs.
They found what was wanted and
went to work. Farmers supplied the
timber for set price, payment to be
made when logs were ready for ship
ment. Meanwhile provisions were
purchased of dealers here and charg-
ed on account as previously agreed

MONTFORT

The Montfort contingent at the uni
versity is gradually adjusting itself
to the daily routine. But the start
was not without it's little annoyances.

another even lost her name. The boys
have been more fortunate, but woe I'M

Henry Yanna finished drilling a
well for J. F. Prochaska at his new
town Castle Rock Ridge, last week.
Henry bought new 400-ft. drill rope
for this job figuring he would need it
on this high ground, but when they
had 25 feet of water at 230 feet, they
decided that was good enough.
A badly wrecked Ford coupe was
hauled into the Montfort Motor Co. S
garage last week. The owner, Mr.
Laufenberg, of Avoca was going home
from a dance and presumably fell a.
sleep The car went over $50 foot
embankment, turning over times,
and the sturdy top of the coupe is all
that saved Mr.. Laufenberg's life.
The car is not worth much. In view
ing the wreck, one is impressed with
the good workmanship that goes into
these cars. If there were any defects
of f1imsy construction this car would
surely show them up.-Mail.

until pay day Cash would occasion
ally be paid and accordingly credited,
but not enough to cover the debt. Last
Wednesday these log men, trunks, etc.
left town for Iowa. Bills were not
settled. Creditors were alarmed and
of course livened up to the situation
and set out over the river about 6
o'clock p. m. and overlook the gang
at Colesburg. There was business
session of short duration. Four cred
itors got their money and auto ex-
pense additional. But they were a
number of other creditors who hadn't
heard of the getaway until early
Thursday morning when they too
hurried over the trail on a collection
tour. The log-men told these cred
itors there was no cause of alarm as
they intended to pay all accounts a
long about first week of October, and
promised to meet their obligations
