He introduced Il soloist, who sang the
first and last stanZaS.
THAT isn't The star Spangled
Banner." shouted Mr.. Tuite. 1--WE
want the other StanZas."
Cheers greeted his remarks. and the
solOist went back To the platform and
sang the other two StanZas in full,
high notes and all. Her voice rang
through the room. including the words
to which Mrs. Scarborough especially
objected.
Their blood has washed out their
foul footsteps pollution"
When Mrs. Scarborough tried to ex-
plain her opposition to the words. Mr..
Tuite replied:
You said that Francis Scott Key
wrote that in hate. and I challenge
you to A public discussion. This is
no place for an American and I will
be going"

EDUCATIONAL
EQUALIZATION
TO NEGATIVE AR
GUMENT, REFERENDUM
MEASURE NO. 29

Those who read Referendum
Measure No. 30 as distributed by
the Secretary of State, are nat
urally wondering why there was
not published an affirmative argu-
ment.
If the question is directed to
Montana Education association,
the answer is, we did not have
$1,000 with which to pay for the
printing. The statutes now pro
vide that affirmative and mega
tive arguments on referendum
and initiative measures may be in
cluded with the measure which the
state prints, but that the cost of
these arguments must be
paid by those sponsoring them.
1t is hard to understand how
lhe negative argument should be
sponsored by a group of farmers
rom Carbon county. That coun-
" is one of the very lowest in the
tate in per capita wealth and con-
equently it would profit in any
method of distribution that could
rave any chance of adoption to
t least $4,000 annually from the
mill tax above its contribution
o such a levy.

FARMER SAYS 81
IS REAL ECONOMY

VIM. B. Scott has spent severa'
days in this vicinity this week
working in the interest of roa6
measure No. 81. He has address
ed several farmers meetings and
has done personal work with in
dividuals in small groups on the
streets, with good effect.
Mr.. Scott is farmer of Car
bon county and is leader in his
community judging from the fact
that he is president of the Far
mers Cooperative creamery and
member Of the executive board
of the Farmers Union. He says
that union endorsed the Initiative
measure as it comes before the
voters and that personally he con-
siders it one of the most import
ant pieces Of legislation that has
ever been submitted 10 the vot-
ers. He believes that it will be of
great benefit to the country as
well as the towns and is a piece
,,of real economy rather than a
tax. Having some spare time this
fall, he has been devoting it to
advocating the Good Roads meas
urei, and came over into this part
of the state when advised there
was considerable opposition to the
measure in some localities.
Monday night Mr.. Scott went
to Poplar to talk to meeting,
Thursday afternoon he went to-
Vida hall and Friday expects toI
speak at Silver Star hall in Dam
iels county. Saturday he will
find it necessary to start for home
in order to reach there in time to
vote. Mr.. Scott is accompanied
by his nephew, Mr.. Peck, al
Prairie county farmer of Terry.

nth HOUR CANARDS
HANDED TO INDIANS

Parties who do not know the
facts or have no use for the
truth are spreading a report
among the Indians that if a bridge
lis built across the Missouri at
Wolf Point the money the gov
.ernment pays toward it will be In
diam money, that is, it will be tax
en- from the Indian fund. This re-
port is absolutely false and alb
surd. Indians doubtful on the
matter should make inquiry of de-
partment officials. The money
that the government spends on
roads or bridges on Indian or gov
ernment land comes from the same
source as the money for other
federal roads.
Another fabrication about
spending Indian money for brid-
ges is also being told with a view
to hurting Congressman Leavitt
and the yarn is just as far from
the truth as the Missouri bridge
yarn.
Good roads and a bridge would
increase the value Of the Indians
lands, and increase. the demand
for them.

ROBBERY ATTEMPT
(By Oswego Correspondent }

About 2:3O Saturday morning
August Knapp heard noise like
,ihe breaking of glass and lumber
He woke Herbert McGlenn, jim
Long, Henry Kolstad and VIM.
Storm. Messrs Knapp, Long and
Kolstad went to the east part of
town and Mr.. McGlenn and Mr..
Storm went to the west part of
town. McGlenn and Storm saw
Two fellows walking and followed
them a short way. Finally they
told them to halt, one fellow
stopped and the other ran. They
took the man down town, and
found that the heavy plate glass
door of Knapp & Longs Hardware
store, had been broken in splin-
ters. The man gave his name as
Harry Mitchell of Grand Forks.
Messrs. Long, Kolstad and Nc
Glenn had this man in the Glas-
gov Jail at 5 a. m. He said that
there was a truck and car park
ed outside of town. The boys
here looked for the car and truck,
but there was none to be found,
for his confederates must have
made quick getaway. He will
have hearing some of these
days. This makes about the fifth
or sixth robbery of the Knapp and
Long store, and a few more
catches like this and it may stop.

SEN. WALSH FOR
ROAD MEASURE 81

Senator T. ]. Walsh, at COM
mercial club dinner at Baker, dis
Icussed briefly the initiative good
roads bill No. 81, saying:
81 am taking no active part in
the CAMPAIGN relative to roads in
Montana this year, which you
have just heard discussed. How
ever, I intend to vote for the pro-
posed law, Initiated measure No.
81, for the reason that it is con-
structive and is the only thing be-
fore US. IF there be those who OPP
pose this measure, it is clearly
Their duty to propose something
better. and this has not been done.
Il may say in this connection
that it is very embarrassing TO us
who represent Montana in Wash
ington, to be from the only state
tha is not taking advantage of
its rights, and the moneys allotted
TO it, under federal appropria-
u0nS made TO ASSIST In tne Dulld-
ing of roads in this country.
There has been money available
to the extent Of about S1,000,00O,
that has been lost to US because,
we were not in a position to
claim it. This money does not go
back into the general treasury,
but is re-allotted to states that
are in position to claim it.
Therefore, sum of money equal
to about 50 for each inhabitant
IF this state, has been lost to US,
and has been gained by other
states, money which Montana
helped to pay"

the state and the Federal gov
ernment to build 402 miles and
to maintain 4S7 miles of Federal

These six counties received
