Schnitzler Backs Gasoline Rebate
Among the bills to be introduced
is one for reclassification or to re-
turn to the old classification sys,
tenn. This will receive a good deal
of support as it will receive the
strenuous opposition of the railroad
and other big interests.
Another bill introduced aims at a
rebate in the gas tax to farmers who
use gasoline in tractors and other
implements for agricultural pur-
poses. Senator John Schnitzler of
Roosevelt County is strongly in fav-
or of this measure and has the active
support of all the farmer members
of both houses. Senator Schnitzler
has written to several State Secre-
taries and has compiled lot of data
showing that this law has worked
favorably in other states. This bill
has the backing of most of the Far
mer members and the backing of all
the eastern Montana members who
consider it would be a great boon tc

Sheridan County last year.
Marsters Talks
The above dispatch was published
in all the papers in the state and the
Associated Press got in touch with
Col. Marsters with the result that
he made various statements. 1t will
be remembered that Marsters was
the man who sent "Three Fingered"
Brown into Sheridan County more
than a year ago. Brown was then
arrested on a charge of trying to
manufacture evidence reflecting on
the official integrity of certain Coun-
ty officials. Immediately after
Browns arrest Marsters sent a flock
of stool-pigeons into Plentywood for
the apparent purpose of intimidating
the FaTmer-Labor officials here.
Councils of Action Gets Busy.
The Council of Action Immediately
got busy and started an investigation
into the whole affair. The legal ad-
visor of the Council was instructed
to call the stoolpigeons of Marsters,
then in Pientywood before the Coun-
Gil to give evidence. When the re
quest was presented they at once
started to 'crawfish" and leave town
on the outgoing trains. The result
Of the Council of Action investiga-
tion was that that body returned a
dignifie1 and comprehensive reporl
which completely exonerated the
county officials from the charge of
any wrongdoing and directly accused

Two boys, Bob Dickinson and Viii
as Wingate, were arrested at Geo.
Masters place, nine miles north of
Outlook, on the charge of having
stolen a calf and butchered it. The
calf was stolen from Andrew Ueland
who traced them to the place
where they were staying.
When the boys were interviewed
as to why they took the calf, they
stated that the children on the place
we're hungry and had had nothing to
eat for some time. So the boys said
they would get something. They
roped Mr.. Ueland's calf, pnt it on the
sled and brought it up to the Masters
home where they were arrested soon
after. Mr.. Masters, the boys said,
had nothing to do with the affair.

BEN MOE AND HEN
DRICKSMEIER MEET
FOR BATTLE, 2lST
Raymond Battler Who Claims He
Can Stop Moe in Seven Rounds to
Get Opportunity, Friday, Decem-
Der 21st. at Farmer-LabOr TempIe.

Again Plentywood is coming to the
front with boxing match, which will
drawn the attention of fight fans for
miles around this city, when Ben
Moe of Archer, weight ITO lbs, meets
"Alkai Pete" Hendricksmeier of
Raymond, ITO pounds, in the ring.
Ben Moe made his first appearance
before the public in this city, when
he met Hueth of Coalridge in a six
round exhibition bout, for which he
had not trained, and went on as
substitute for Hueth's opponent, who
did not show up. Having Just eaten
a heavy supper short time previous,
he was forced to quit in the fourth
after putting up a splendid battle.
He is clean cut young man with
a good deal of ability with the mitts
and many are of the opinion that
Hendricksmier and his hackers have
made bad bet, when they figure
that the young battler from Archer
will not be able to go seven rounds
with the Raymond whirlwind. Moe
is now training hard for the bout
and figures that by the time the bat
tie takes place he will be in the pink
of condition.
"Alkali Pete" Hendricksmier is so
we'll known to the mitt fans of this
city that it is unnecessary to give his
history as a boxer. Everyone knows

great assistance, not only to the
PIentywood high school, but also to
all OF the high schools in the county.
we have found in other counties that
the privilege of levying as high as

The chief advantage to Plentvwood

suitable high school building at the

The following editorial, on the
County High School Project in Sheri-
dan and Daniels counties, appeared
IN the Dawson County Review last
week:
County High Schools.
Just at this time two counties,
Daniels and Sheridan, are agitating
the question of voting on county high
schools. Sentiment appears to ne
strongly in favor of the proposition
in both counties.
w SAL4ih LAWSUIT COulIN VIII Tell
them to go ahead and vote for their
establishment. Just twenty years ago
last summer Dawson voted affirma-
lively on the same question and since
then has enjoyed the advantages of
one OF the best high schools in the
state.
The reasons which made the coun-
ty high school successful in the past
are operating even stronger today.
In any county where the popula-
ton is somewhat scattered and there
are no large towns the county high
school offers the only possibility of
a first class high school.
The county provides an adequate
unit for taxation which the small
town very positively does not. Six
mills is the maximum levy for the
county high schools and many of
them do not levy that much.
The county high school brings
together a larger group of pupils
than could or would be found in the
town high school and this means a
richer and more valuable course of
study and larger and better trained
faculty and all this at a lower per
capita cost.
'The small town high school is
pinched for money, therefore its

who accused the White Sox and
Tigers of having played fixed games.
Risberg and Gandil testified the
White Sox sloughed a series to De-
triot In 1919 to pay the Tigers for
sloughing the series of 1917, so the
White Sox could edge out Boston in
the tight race for the American
League penant.
Commissioner Lands, in his deci-
sion said that beyond the statement
OF Gandil, the record in the case dis
closed nothing to the effect that the
raising of the money was ever dis
cussed at a meeting of the players.
Whether such a meeting actually
took place is important only as to
the question of credibility, the deci-
sion said.
The Decision.
The decision in part, said:
"In addition to the charges Of
sloughing the Sept. 2 and 8, 1917,
series, Risberg alleges that Chicago
sloughed to Detroit two of the three
games series at the close of the 1919
season. His only specific allegations
are that he believed that Gandil (and
two other players out of baseball
since 1920) also played out of posi-
tion. Gandil corroborates this testi-
flying that he played out of position
