spoils of the republican party.
While Cummins is offering fake
propositions at Washington his pol
itical henchman in the governors
chair in Des Moines is calling confer
ences of well-to-do farmers, country
bankers, republican ward heelers and
other hangers-on, in an effort to put
forward propositions that will have
the appearance of fighting for the
farmers so that the state of Iowa can
be kept in the republican ranks in
the coming congressional elections.
Fake Farm Organization.
The recommendation most likely to
be adopted at Des Moines during the
conference will be of purely fraud
ulent nature, a political snare, to
stave off the impending storm for a
time. That is a proposition to ogan-
ize working monopoly of land own
ing corn growers" These growers will
hold their crops for five years and
force not only protective legislation,
but prices"
Such proposal is mere delusion,
economically unsound, as corn is not
something that is absolutely essential
to sustain life, and as a food it has
many substitutes. If the Iowa farm
ers should hold their corn it simply
means that wheat and barley and oats
would take its place and the demand
for corn permanently reduced so that
the farmers would be in a worse con.
dition than before.
There is only one solution possible
for the present Iowa farm crisis and
that is subsidy by the government
of the United States for the farmers,
to enable them to exist until their
crop can be marketed. The govern
ment that can cancel rs per cent of
the Italian debt in order that the
monstrous dictatorship of Mussolini
may continue to rule Italy with an
iron fist and in order that Morgan
may find fruitful field for invest
ment of the billions wrung from the
workers and farmers of the United
States ought to be able to do as much
for the impoverished farmers of Iowa
and the adjoining corn-raising states.
OF course, this would not be profit
able. to Wall Street, so the govern
ment, which is the servile servant of
Morgan, will let the farmers perish or
be driven from the soil to take their
places in the already overcrowded
ranks of the unemployed unskilled
workers.

to do as much for the farmers of the

J.P. DONALDSON
OUT FOR SHERIFF
Fifth Candidate to File For The
Republican Nomination
Others In Race

The fifth candidate, ]. P. ('Pat'')
Donaldson of BOzeman, who will go
before the voters at the primaries
August 8 for the Republican nOmina-
tiOn for the office of sheriff of Gal
latin county, filed his nominating
petition with J. H. Harris, county
clerk and recorder, Tuesday noon.
Mr.. Donaldson has been a lifelong
Republican and has always taken
more than usual interest in affairs
political. He is widely and favOrsbly
known, not only in BOzeman, where
he has made his home, but through
out the county. In his petition he de-
clares that if nominated and elected,
he will endeavor to discharge the du-
ties of the important office he seeks
in a "business-like, efficient, and eco
nomical manner"
The four other candidates for the
Republican shTievalty nomination are
Allan Il. Sales, George v. Finley,
George r. Border, and Will Maxey
On the Democratic side there are four
contestants R. Avery, M. P
Lewis, Frank G. Slaughter, and w
D. Bell.

Child, ANCENEY
acquire FAMOUS
SHORTHORN HERD
Bring to Montana 68 Head Of
Fun-BlOOds From Noted
Columbian Stock Farm

The number of MOntana's grand
championship herds Of purebred cat
tie was increased to three by the re-
cent purchase, by Child and Anceney
of the Flying d ranch, of F. S. Nc
Demands famous herd of ShOrthOTns
which has for years kept the name
of the Columbian stock farm at Grand
View, Mo-, at the top in the cattle
world.
The transaction, which involved
$15O,OOO, brings to Montana 68 full
blOoded ShOrthorns, and is regarded
by stOckmen as one of the most i'm
portant events in the history Of the
cattle industry in the Northwest. The
herd constitutes the largest shipment
Of highgrade show cattle ever made
into Montana and the Northwest at
one time.
The primary idea behind the pur-
chase Of these cattle is to produce
heavier and earlier-maturing stock
for beef purposes. In recent years
the average weight of matured cattle
on Montana ranches has been about
1,1OO or 1,2OO pounds, as contrasted
with the 1,5OO-pOund Our-year-old
steers common to the ranges Of early
days. According to Mr.. Child, the
Northwest cattle industry must pro-
duce heavier loins, shOrtribs, and
backs, and he believes the McDermand
ShOrthorns, bred with HerefOrds, viii
solve that problem.

GALLATIN COUNTY'S TAX DELINQUENCY
FOR 1925 Less Than 6.5 PER Cent

Gallatin county's tax DELINQUENCY
for the year 1925 was only 6.5 pea
cent, according to figures obtai7.c
at the office Of J. s. Taylor, cOurty
treasurer. Even this low percentage
is a trifle in excess Of the cOTeCt
figure, due to adjustments made prior
to collection and which have not been
taken into account In this coaputa-
ton.
The total Of taxes assessed for 1925,
as shown by the books, was $882,951.-
Sd, which included $31, ,205.57 personal
and 1851, ,746.O7 real estate. The to-
tai delinquency was, for both real
and personal property, S57,822.7S.
The delinquencies were divided as
follows: At the expiration date fol-
the first payment of so per cent
S2,OO3.35 personal and S45,3448C
real estate, a total of S47, 7,348.15. AT
the expiration date for the second
payment, $40, ,474.58 on real estate.
Considering crop and financial con
ditions in recent years, the showing
for Gallatin county is believed a gOot
one. A few days prior to May 81 The
outstanding taxes amounted to about
100000, and of this sum Mr. TaylOl
collected all but a little more thar
$4,000.

The pageant surrounding the open

IdIt, Acquire MORE concerns
The Consolidated Gas Service Cor
poration of Wilmington which recent
ly purchased under name of the Kent
County Gas Company, the plant and
franchise of the Smyrna Gas Com
pany from John V. Postles, is still
reaching out acquiring plants all over
the Delaware-M Maryland Peninsula.
Last week they purchased the Sussex
Gas Company plants and franchise
which supplies fuel and light to Sea
ford, Bridgeville, Blades and Laurel.
The majority of the stock was owned
or controlled by Henry NJ. Tracey, of
Conshohocken, Pa, with offices in
Philadelphia, who was secretary and
treasurer of the company. Tracey's
stock was acquired by the Consolidat-
ed Gas Service Corporation several
weeks ago, and the balance of the
stock, both common and preferred,
was purchased by the new company
from the small shareholders on the
same terms. The new purchasers,
thru Mr.. C. P. Holzderver, president
of the Consolidated Gas Service Cor
poration, promise improved services
at a cheaper rate, t is said. They
will take charge July 1. The new
company has also purchased of the
Delaware Trust Company, their old
banking house at the corner of High
and Conwell streets, Seaford, which
they will remodel into a modern office
with sales rooms for gas stoves, fix
lures, etc. Since taking over the plant
of the Smyrna Gas Works, represen-
tatives of the corporation have been
to Smyrna canvasing the town and in
specting the plant. They We're as
sured of support all over town If ser
vice were guaranteed. Just what they
will do to the Smyrna plant has not
been definitely announced. It is prob
able they will change the system of
making gas from coal to water gas,
improve their mains where needed and
if sufficient encouragement is received
from the town officials and citizens of
Clayton, extend their line there.

Arrested-AutO Has jug Full
Prohibition Officer N. E. Jett, with
his son and Night Watchman Arthur
Dickerson, returning late Friday af-
ternoon from a raid in West Dover,
at the farms of Max Hengst and Ed
ward Hayward. At the former place
a quart of liquor was secured. Hengst
left before the officers arrived. At the
latter place a still and a quantity of
mash were secured. The officers on
their way back found car with three
persons sitting on the front seat. Jett
stopped the car and told them it was
against the law for three to sit on one
seat, with one apparently asleep.
While the occupants, Evans Lewis,
John Twigg and a girl, were making
ready to change their seats, Jett look
ed into the car and found a five-gallon
jug of what seemed high powered
brandy. He took possession of the
jug and took the three occupants to
Dover, where Lewis, the owner of the
car, and Twigg, the operator, were
held in $1,000 bail for a hearing be-
fore Commissioner Cam at Whining
ton today. In default of bail the two
men were sent to Kent county Jail.
Twigg admitted he bought the liquor,
clearing Lewis of any connection with
it.
