This demand cannot be construed, says the
Twice-a-week Spokesman Review, as farmer op-
position to the protective tariff On the contrary
it points out, the demand has even reactiOnary
aspect 'It is desire to revert to the old methods
of making tariffs" the Review says
According to the secretary for the farm organi-
cations, ''the farmers would rather take their
chances with congress with respect to the tariff
act in preference to the delegating of functions
by congress to enable somebody else to change
the act from time to time"
It is obvious that this is but another protest
by the farm organizations against the flexible
provisions of the present tariff law, which gives
the president power, after hearings by the tariff
commission, to raise or lower particular tariff
rate.
Whether this is the general opinion of American
farmers is quite questionable For instance,
there is no protest from the wheat growers for
the tariff commission recommended and the pre-
sident ordered an increase in the tariff on wheat
from 80 cents to AZ cents bushel. 1t would ap-
pear that the dissatisfaction with the tariff com
mission was stirred up by the dairy producers
organizations, which went before the commission
with an appeal for increase in the tariff on butter.
Under the preceding Democratic tariff law,
butter was protected 215 cents a pound. The
present Republican law fixes the duty at cents
a pound. But despite this protection, consider
able foreign butter comes into the United States,
and the dairy organizations want increased pro-
lection.
The complaint against the tariff commission
is of "unwarranted delay in arriving at decisions
prejudiced treatment of parties appearing before
it" and that the commissions holding of executive
sessions "has created situation approaching
closely to public scandal"
The fact remains that there is no record at
Washington of any farm organizations asking
for reduced protection on farm products. The
record shows the opposite-farmers are demand
ing increased protection.

SCORES OUR NEWSPAPERS

A recent press dispatch from Moscow quoted
Leon TrOtsky as saying, in a speech comparing
Russian and American newspapers:
"It is scarcely possible to find anything less
attractive than the contents of the average Am
erican newspaper. But American editors have
the faculty of giving their readers just what
they desire"
They have. And they also give the American
people their best editorial opinion on matters
which would not please the Bolshevist leader.
Naturally American newspapers are unattractive
to Mr. Trotsky. He has not power to muzzle
them and control their comment, as he has with
Russian newspapers.
America is the nation it is today because it
has 10000 publications and nearly all of its
100000 people can read. Bolshevist dictators
cannot exist in such a nation because there is nc
chance to fool millions of uniformed persons.
The quickest way to bring permanent stability
to Russia would be to ship in a lot of good Amer.
lean editors and American printing presses and
let the resulting newspapers discuss, unhampere6
by the crushing hand of Bolshevik Officialism
conditions as they are found.
Naturally, such newspapers would be ''unat
tractive" to Mr.. Trotsky because each one printed
would shorten the reign of terror and hasten the
day Of peace, plenty, and education for the Rus
sian people.
America has cause to be thankful that it has
thousands of newspapers that are extremely un
attractive to Mr.. TrOtsky and his supporters.

SOME GOOD NEWS

Assurance that the 18-mile park section of
the West GalIatin road will be made into hard
surfaced highway second to none, and that road
will be built into the Specimen forest, commonly
known as the Petrified forest, given by Super
intendent Horace NJ Albright of Yellowstone Ma
tiOnal park at the Chamber of Commerce dinner
last Thursday evening, is indeed good news" for
Bozeman and GaDatin county folk
For a number of years the project of modern
automobile highway up the scenic West Gallatin
canyon to the western entrance to Yellowstone
park had been agitated by forward-looking men.
This agitation finally resulted in the construction
of such a road from Bozeman to the park line, but
there progress was halted. Pessimistic ones even
went so far as to declare that the 18mile section
within the park boundaries would never be built.
Mr.. Albright's assurance that it will, and that
the first of the two units will be finished this
year, presages realization of the project so long
desired.
The benefits of Bozeman and the Galatin valley
of the completed West Gallatin highway to the
park will be great. Because of it, much larger
number of park tourists will be drawn to this
section, and given an opportunity to learn Of the
beauties and resources of this truly wonderful
area. Aside from the substantial sums of money
they will, as a natural result, spend here, they
will uncOnsciously render us great service by
carrying far and wide news of the opportunities
to be found here and thus undoubtedly attract a
gOOdly number of desirable settlers anxious to
take advantage of them.
The building OF a road into the Petrified forest
will add another valuable attraction to the already
numerous ones now offered by the Gallatin. Many
tourists have, in the past wished to visit that
wonderful spot, but hesitated because of the time
expense, and hardship involved AS soon as it is
conveniently accessible by automobile, thousands
of visitors will undoubtedly make it point OF
call. And these will add to the volume of tourist
traffic through the Galatin. The forest lies only
a few miles from the southern terminus of the
Gallatn route
In Mr.. Albright's opinion, the completion Of
the West Gallatin route to the park will not af
feet Livingston's interests adversely but rather
to the contrary. This is another matter for salts
faction. Bozeman and the Gallatin valley do no
seek to profit at the expense of other cOmmuni
ties; they seek only to make the most of tn
unusual advantages they possess.

Results Encouraging
'The practical results Of this first
experiment could hardly be called con-
elusive, but they gave encouragement
to those in charge of It to push on
in the quest Of more and more evil
dence. On April z, 1921, an an
nouncement was made that arrange
ments had been completed with the
Air Mail radio service of the post Of
flee department to transmit by wire
less market reports several times a
day from pOstoffice stations at Wash
ingtOn, D. c., BellefOnte, Penn. St
Louis, Mo-, and Omaha, Nebr.
Assuming an effective radius of
audibility Of 300 miles about each
station, licensed amateurs in the areas
covered were enlisted to copy the re-
ports and to furnish them to ship
pers associations, county agents,
state bureaus Of markets, farm bu-
reaus and other agricultural agencies.
banks, newspapers and local telephone
exchanges. A number Of licensed o.
orators offered to copy the reports.
By January 1, 1922, the market re-
ports were being relayed and broad
cast by radio telegraph from seven
post office stations IN a chain across
the country.
During 1921, reports were fur
nished to three Of the then very few
radio telephone broadcasting stations.
Since then, the service has grown by
leaps and bounds until now there is
practically no agricultural community
in the country~that is without official
market reports on agricultural COM
mOdities. Well-established schedules
Of weather, crop and market reports
are broadcast from more than 100 sta
tiOns in all parts Of the country"
Buy Expensive Sets
Farmers, Of necessity, the DEPART
ment says, have bought mainly high
priced sets capable Of getting distant
lstations. The average cost of radio
sets on more than 1000 farms widely
scattered over the country in 1928
was estimated by the department at
SITS. Better and more easily oper-
ated equipment can be bought now for
half this amount, the department
says.
An authentic list of broadcasting
stations the country over that broad
cast market and crop reports has been
prepared by the department for free
distribution. Requests for the list
should be mailed to the Bureau Of Ag-
ricultural Economies, United States

Obey 10 COMMANDMENTS OF SAFETY.
PLEDGE FOR CHILDREN and PARENTS
500 P. M


School children of 1900 cities and
towns in the United States will be
asked to sign a pledge jointly with
thei parents to obey the "Ten Com
mandments of Saftey" which are
part Of the intensive campaign to
help cut down the tremendous auto
mobile death toll of the nation, ac-
cording to an announcement today by
Marcus A. Dow, director Of the Stew
art-Warner Safety council for the
prevention Of automobile accidents.
The cnild's teacher also is to sign
the pledge. Affixing the child's
name on the pledge is accompanied
by a serious talk on safety by the
teacher. The parchment pledge is
given to the child to keep as a perma-
nent safety reminder. Mr.. Dow's
"Ten Commandments" are:
For children and pedestrians:
1. Look both ways before crossing
streets and highways. 2. Wait until
it is safe to cross. 3. Keep to the
left, facing traffic, when necessary
to walk in the roadway. 4. Refrain
from playing in the roadway.
For parents:
5. Caution children frequently as
to street and highway dangers.
For motorists:
6. Watch out for children and pc
destrians. z. Watch speedometer;
keep it in good order and refrain
from speeding. 8. Keep brakes i'll
good order. 9. Obey all traffic and
safety rules. 10. Drive carefully al
ways.
1t is estimated that several million
school children will be given the op-
portunity to sign the safety pledges.
"Last year approximately 21,OOC
| persons were killed in automobile ac-
cidents," said Director Low. "Thou.

GROWTH OF FARM
RADIO VERY RAPID

There are nearly to 100000 radio
sets on farms in the United States,
the department Of agriculture esti-
mates in a report on the growth Of
farm radio during the past five years.
In some states, the department says,
there are radio sets on Is to 40 per
cent Of all farms. Estimates made
by the department in 1923 showed
145,OOO sets in use on farms at that
time; 365,000 sets in 1924, and $685.
600 sets early in 1926.
Increased power and improved

ceiving sets, the department believes,

Interference among stations may
gradually be eliminated, the depart
ment believes, as many Of tie less

made in both broadcasting and re-

BRISTOL THEATER
 RAzED BY FLAMES

the fire by members of tho four companies.
 The entire stage, orchestra pit and roof or the rear of the building were destroyed and the walls of the theater were badly scorched. A con- siderable loss as the result of water was sustained. The front of the building. including the lobby and the theater office, were undamaged. Ac- tors and actresses also suffered con- siderable property loss including special scenery and costumes. The vaudeville bill this week, included Frances and Wilson, aero-comics; Marty and Nancy, son4 and dances; Billy Miller & Company, comedy sketch; Manley and Baldwin, and kohler and Edith, skaters The fire leaves Bristol without a suitable theater In which vaudeville acts may be staged.
 The origin of the fire is unknown. It apparently started on the stage or in one of the dressing rooms as it was in that part of the building that the greatest damage was done. The boilers which heat the theater are in the front part of the building near the street and that section of the building was undamager.
 Whether or not the theater will be rebuilt was undetermined today. The proprietors have for some time past had under consideration the erection of a large new theater on Main street. work on which was to have been started last spring but which was postponed. The fire his morning was the second loss to be slstained by the owners within a short time. About six weeks ago the safe in the theater office was broken into and approximately $500 stolen.
 The building in which the theater was located has seen number of varied sports within its walls. At one time it was considered the best basketball floor in the state and back in 1911 a roller polo team used it for one season. It has been used as a theater for about 12 years.
 It is possible that the Palace thea ter, owned by the same interests :nd which has been closed for the past year, will be reopened for motion pictures only, although this action had not been decided uoon today.
 It is believed that the entire loss is covered by insurance.
