TENSION OF POWER LINE.

Dodson.-Dodson advanced another
step toward the entry of the Montana
Power company into the city when
the city council voted to accept the
bid of the state for the issue of
$4,000 amortization bonds, due in 20
years. The proceeds Of the bond IS
sue will be used to put the present

ECONOMY
WAS KEYNOTE"
When the present democratic ad
ministration in the state capitol made
its campaign last year it laid great
stress on the fact that during the in
cumbency of Gov. Dixon the state
went considerably in debt. Huge ad-
vertisements in the state papers
pointed out that this was due to the
extravaganza of the former state
executive and many politicians he had
on the state payroll. This state of
affairs was to be changed when a
democratic Governor was elected and
a rigid policy of Economy was to
be introduced into the governmental
affairs of the state. The present
governor was elected on these repre-
! sentatiOns.
STATE $537, ,O75 WORSE

Despite these lavish promises or
the part of the democratic party anC
that the state as whole is in a bet

of the state has grown to such al
extent that is now in the hole jus

STOLEN N. d. TRUCK
FOUND IN SCOBEY

FOUND IN SCOBEY
Several appeals have been made to
the Sheriff but the persons who lost
their cars were unable to get them
back. While the citizens of Daniels
county were vainly appealing to the
Law officers of Scobey to get them
back their cars a Federal officer found
truck in Scobey which was stolen
from North Dakota some months ago.
Whenever any cars are taken across
the state line or international boun-
dary into northeastern Montana, Fed
eral officers search Scobey and in
many cases they locate the missing
auto. Several Daniels County people
have appealed to the Federal authori-
ties to trace their stolen cars but the
United States authorities cannot act

Ole Sanvik of Harlem, who was the
County Assessor elected by the N. P.

reputation all over the state that the
first Nonpartisan League convention
nominated him for State Auditor on
the ticket on which B. K. Wheeler
made his race for Governor. Mr.. San
wick approves of the new organlza-
ton in the following words:
'In answer to your inquiry of the
oath, will say that l have been walt
! ing to see how long the farmers OF
Montana would stand the CALLING col
lar before they would make any hol-
ler ABOUT it. Of course am for CIR
gaAizing. ANY farmer outside of an
insane asylum would be. The plans
as outlined in the Producers News
suits me for a starter, although l be.
leve a few more demands would fal
in line. The farmers organizations
in the past have been looked upon by
many as lost time and money bu
anyone. that has kept up with hlstor!
knows that the farmers and workers
have received 100 per cent on thei
investment and more. Every time
farmer hauls in 100 bushels of whea
to the elevator he receives about ST.
more than he would have got befor
the Nonpartisan League got the grad
ing of wheat changed. feel sur
that a farmers and workers pOlitica
organization could be built up i
