BRAND IS UPHELD
ON FISCAL POLICY
Makes Vote on Finance
Measure Confidence Ques-
tion-Wins, 258-149.
By the Associated Press,

PARIS, February 16.-Premier Bri-
and early this morning wound up the
day and night long debate in the
Chamber of Deputies on the govern
ment's bill which seeks the financial
restoration of France by making a
vote on the bill as a whole a question
of confidence in his government. The
premier was upheld by a vote of 258
against 149.
With the fear of their constituents
ever before their eyes the deputies, of
whatever party, could not bring them
selves to vote fresh taxation. AS
consequence, the financial bill Is shorn
of most Of the measures intended to
obtain funds for balancing the budget
1t will now be sent to the Senate,
where the government counts upon
the upper chamber to restore the pro-
visions eliminated in the Chamber of
Deputies and add such other clauses
as may be necessary to meet the gov
ernment's requirements.
Chamber Takes Recess.
The Chamber adjourned at am.
until next Tuesday, when it is hoped
the bill will have been sent back from
the Senate. The Chamber will then, in
the words Of Premier BRAND. either
have to take 1t or leave it. He says
he is determined to brook no further
delay and is resolved to stake the ex-
istence Of his administration on bal
ancing the budget before the end Of
the present month.
Louis Malvy. head Of the Chambers s
finance committee, said in debate that
the delay in the payment of taxes
ha cd 1{D
francs were needed for the treasury's s
May payments, and if this money was
not forthcoming imitation was inevita-
BILE. The Chamber then decided that
three-quarters Of the taxes must be
paid before May /.
Stamp Tax Rejected.
After the Chamber had approved
some clauses of the bill and rejected
others, tho resources to balance the
budget had shrunk to 1900 .000, 900
francs. M. Doumer offered a stamp
tax to obtain the other needed 2,400.-
jected, 3S9 to 112. When the vote was
announced NJ Doumer said to the
Deputies:
Foreign countries are watching
closely, some with sympathy and
others with Il certain feeling of hos
tility 1t will be said tomorrow that
you have done nothing; that the bud
get remains unbalanced and that it
will be possible to foretell the date of
another crisis, more serious than the
preceding one, which will oblige you to
proceed with fresh infiations. entailing

In the early debate Premier BRAND
said:

WESTERN DRUG HAS
NEW SHOW WINDOWS

Carpenters have been busy dur
ing the past week installing show
windows and a door opening from
the Western Drug Company into
the entrance to the new Cody
Theatre.
This improvement adds a great
deal to the appearance of the store
as well as furnishing more light
and additional window space. The
show cases and wall cabinets have
all been redecorated and are being
rearranged in a most attractive
manner. Some very clever improve
ments have been added to the show
cases; which were designed by drug
gist Hopes and constructed by
Mr.. Tinckom.
By the additional space acquired
in the new arrangement the manag-
ment announces Mat they will be
prepared to serve the public better
than ever before.
This is one of q series of i'm
provements in Cody's business dis

is done in Cody.
Judge ruled, in the "gas case
that inasmuch as the ordinance pro-
viding for this tax, was passed as
an emergency" ordinance, and that
there was not sufficient evidence
to show that a substantial "emer-
gency" existed, the ordinance was
not legally passed. Practically all
of the ordinances of the town of
Cody are emergency ordinances.
That is, in their passing, rules are
suspended and they are passed at
one meeting, rather than to go thru
the slower procedure of having them
read at three consecutive meetings,
and the posting of ten days.
In commenting on the decision
of the court, Mayor Trueblood said
that in probability the entire code
of ordinances would have to be re-
passed, at least all Of those which
AVE been passed through as ''em-
Urgency" measures, which practice

Congress
No. .
Editor and General anooer
WILL ROGERS

Statistics have proven that only
one-half of one per cent of the
speeches made in Congress are lis
tened to. A great many Congress
men speak IN, but not TO, Con
gress. But every speech is published
in the record. They send the rec
ords back home to show "What
they told 'em up there in Washing
ton." Now the people back home
think Congress heard their Lem"
tell 'em this.
Now, here is my scheme to stop
speech making. A Bill reading as
follows: Congressional Record
must not only contain speech, but
number of members, and names
who listened to speech, and auAy."
For instance: Congressman Post
Hole arose to a point of informa-
ton and spoke at length on, IS
Locarno a town, or is it a Treaty.
Length of speech, without waiting
for applause, four hours, t~hirty-six
minutes; attendance, Gout (Rep.
N. " Unable to get out Sixty
forty (Dem. N. J.) Case of reci-
procity, he listened to mine Low
brow (Rep. Mass.) 4 was asleep,
even the good speakers haven't
woke me up"
Now l claim that will stop some
speech making. The minute it gets
back home that "Lemmie" is talk
ing to himself up there, "Lemmie"
will stop talking.
You know why they won't listen
to anybody up there? They have
gone out to smoke, that's why, and
you know why they've gone out to
smoke? Why, Bull" Durham, of
course. IT'S BETTER THAN
ANY SPEECH EVER MADE.

Stick In the Facts

/. V. A. candidates opposing Governor S0rlie and
his associates the state ticket in speaking at New
England and other towns recently, defended state
ownership and operation of the prison Irvine plant
on the ground that taxpayers money was not used
in its operation"
In view Of the fact that the statement was made
by former speaker Of the House of Representatives
and former state senator, it should not pass un-
challenged.
OF course the taxpayers money is used to operate
the state prison Irvine plant. If this not the
case the plant would be as deeply in the red as the
MILL
Whose money built the plant originally?
Inmates labor for the period beginning Sept.
and ending August 81, 1924, carried in the
Irvine plant report at $4,000. very low labor
cost for manufacturing plant that did business
in 1924 of $541 .lO3.8l and made "book" profit Of
So, 91348 OF course the items Of expense carried
as manufacturing cost" by the Irvine department
are more less arbitrarily assembled. If all the
penitentiary costs assgnable to the Irvine plant
were set up the pententiary books, it would be
readily shown that the taxpayers of the state do
contribute something to the manufacture of the
Irvine.
To compare this industry to the mill, of course, is
sheer folly. Furthermore for the enemies of state
industry of any kind to defend the manufacture
of Irvine for the farmers at Bismarck and condemn
the manufacture Of flour for the farmers at Grand
Forks is the rankest kind Of inconsistency and in
line with the campaign bunk that "state owned in
dustry will be salvaged as soon as feasible. which
