SENATE ADOPTS cLorURE.


The U. S. Senate Monday, for
the second time in history,
adopted what is known as the
cloture rule on the World
Court measure, which means that
Senators are limited to speeches
of one hour each on this World
Court proposition before a final
vote could be taken. While ordi-
nalily we believe in free and UNI
limited debate, the adoption of
the cloture on this proposition
at this thine serves a good pur-
pose for two reasons; first, this
matter has been before the Sen.
ate since it convened in Deem
Der and the members of that
body knew how they intended
to vote and no further discussion
could change them; secondly, it
opened the way for other pres
sing legislation in which the
people as whole are more inter
ested, particularly tax legisla-
lation. Income tax reports must
be fled by March Is, and tax
payers are anxious that the pro
posed bill now before the Senate
be passed before then in order
that they may get the benefit of
the new law in making up their
income reports. This measure,
if all reports are true, will mean
a great saving to taxpayers.
Whether entering the World
Court is a good thing for the
country or not, there could not
be any change likely in the
views of the present members OF
Congress; hence, the people
have grown tired of the lung ex-
ercise that is now going on the
in the Senate and want action
on this measure. and other legis.
lation before that body.
The World Court measure fl
nally passed the Senate Wednes
day.

FOUR CANDIDATE FOR
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION

Although the next presidential
election is more than two and a
half years away, and there is a
senatorial and congressional cleo
ton intervening, Democratic pol
iticians are already beginning to
talk about the leader who will
carry the banner for the party
in 1928. Up to this time four
Democrats who are said to have
the bee seriously, are being
talked about in national political
circles. They are Governor AL
Smith, Of New York; William G.
McAdoo, now of California; Gov
ernor Donahey, of Ohio, and Gov
ernor Richie, OF Maryland.
Although Governor Smith has
announced that he will retire
from politics, his friends take
this to mean state, and not ma
tional politics. They are certain
he will be a candidate for presi-
dent in 1928 and profess to be.
lieve he has a fine chance to land
the nomination. Mr.. McAdoo, of
course, has been a candidate for
the 1928 nomination since the
close of the 1924 convention-at
least his friends have been active
for him.
Governor Richie was also a
candidate in the 1924 convention
and got the votes of his home
state consistently. He has be-
come an ardent advocate of
states rights and hopes to get
delegates from the states which
agree with him in this particu-
lar. And it is generally admit
ted that sentiment is growing in
favor of states rights, or at least
~ favor Of curtailing the activi-
ties o7 the federal government.
Tho otis araidate mention
cd, Govetuc Os ahey, has de-
yelopeo siaes lie 1924 conVen-
ton. 1t is expected that he will
run for Governor Of Ohio again,
and that if successful, his hat
win be in the ring in 1928. There
are all indications at present that
it will be the field against Nc.
Adoo again when the Democratic
convention is called to order in
1928.

AIR LINER

New York and San Francisco
will be linked within the next year
by a super-airplane~ service which
will astonish the world, Alfred w.
Lawson, inventor of giant airliners,
announced here today.
MuIti-motored planes, capable OF
carrying 100 persons, will make non
stop air journeys between the At
lantic and Pacific with passenger
fares cents a mile, Lawson said
For the last four years the in
ventor has been working on his
super-airliner plans, he said. Patents
have just been issued covering his
inventions. Construction of the
first airliner will be begun shortly,
it was stated.
Lawson asserted:
This plane can carry passengers
at 100 miles an hour in perfect
safety, at a lower fare than now
is charged by the railroads.
1T will be plane of 10 motors.
Seven motors will be sufficient to
keep the plane in the air, three addi
tional motors being allowed as
factor for reliability which will
insure safety under all conditions.
Passengers for Chicago and other
cities will be transferred from the
airliner by a patented chute to
smaller planes and thus landed.
Mail and express matter will be
transferred by the same system"

Old and New Customs

One of the characteristics of the old
fashioned valentine was the secrecy
with which it was invested. The
sender was most unwilling to hang his
heart upon his sleeve, for there were
altogether too many davis waiting for
a chance to pick at it. The valentine
was carefully wrapped and was intend
ed for the eyes of the recipient, and
nobody else.
But investors today who spend a
dime or a quarter on a valentine don't
care a tinker's commission whether
anyone sees them or not. Their mis-
sives go openly through the malls and
Dan Cupid may yell his message all
along the route.

for keeping the messages under cover

conservatively estimated at $780,
900, according to an announcement
made public Tuesday evening by
c. r. Hetzler, president of the Bill
lings Gas company. More than
100 men will be engaged in the
work. which is scheduled to start
early in April and continue for the
greater part of the year. The line
supplies Bridger and Fromberg in
addition to Billings, and is 70 miles
in length.
Upper Surface of Pipes Worse
The work of cleaning the outside
of the line is necessary, according
to Mr.. Hetzler, because of c~orrosion
due to the action of the alkali in
the soil. The Investigations of the
company show that the line in
many places has d~eteriorated 80
per cent since it was cleaned. 1t
is also known that the upper half
of the line is in a worse condition
than the lower, and as the repairs
are made, the pipe will be turned
half over, bringing the section low
resting on the base Of the trench
to the top.
The %corrosion will necessitate the
cleaning of the entire length of the
line with heavy wire brushes until
all particles of rust and dirt have
been removed.
Will Try to Avoid Service Break
After the line has been turned
over, a coating of some protective
substance will be applied and it
is hoped that it will not be nee
essary to touch the line again until
three or four years have elapsed.
In speaking Of the work Mr..
Hetzler said:
at looks impossible hat this
work can be done without any
interruption in service. We are as
sured by the officers of the Gallatin
Natural Gas company that every
effort will be made to complete
the work with no break in service
to the many consumers.
