With today's action by the court the
only hope Of Mrs. Snyder and Judd
Gray is in the clemency of Governor
Smith. This hope, it is generally be-
lieyed, is feeble, since the governor
throughout his many years in the

TREND OF FARM.
RELIEF IS Use.
OF j. 5. FUNDS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. q (E9--One of ,
the trends in the attempt to solve the
vexing farm relief problem as evil
denced by conversations Of agricul- !
tural leaders in congress, is toward a
bill to create, q government fund to be
used in dispoeing of sIIvplus crops.
While the farm leaders are confin-
ing their ois - lions Of new bill to
their own cirol,s s Just now, it is known
that some of them have reached the
view that since President Coolidge
vetoed the proposal to raise money
for marketing the SURPRISES by levy
ing an equalization fee on the farm
crs, the only alternative is for the
government itself to prodUce the funds.
TO this end consideration is being
given to q. measure calling for the
creation Of a revolving fund of $780,
000.000 or $300,000,000 This fund not
cnly would be available for loans toI
cooperative marketing associations, as
provided in past administration plans,
but it -ould be used to meet the losses
frcm marketing of surplus crops.
1t is understood President COOLIDGE
has been advised that such plan is
regarded by most farm senator's as the
only alternative to the equalization fee,
which he has disapproved as uncon-
stitutjenal, and it is believed he is Civ
ing the r.'1posal serious consideration
Senator DA1cNary, republican, Oregon,
co-author of the vetoed N1cNary-
Haugen bill, and new chairman Of the
senate agriculture committee, has TAX
en- the lead in sounding, out the senti-
ment Of the farm leaders in congress
Some cf those interested in the con-
versations have suggested this plan as
solution.
Just how Senator NTcNary and other
NcNary- Haugen advocates feel on the
proposition has not been revealed. Pend
ing the definite advancement of a
substitute, most Of this group are
standing pat for the old bill. Senator
Shipstead, farmer-labor, Minnesota,
who returned to the capital today, is
sued a statement again urging passage
of the NIcNary- -Haugen measure.

AMMUNITION MEXICO SHIPMENTS
IN TRIAL in FEDERAL COURT

TUCSON, Nov % QP)-Little prog
ress was made today in the neutrality
case before Judge w. H. Sawtelle,
in United States district court, before
it adjourned until Friday morning,
the testimony of two Yaqui Indians
took the time of the court most Of
the day and was followed by testi
mony of a former border patrol in
spector and sales manager of an
arms and ammunition dealer.
All of the testimony hinged around
the activities of Bishop ,~uan NaVar-
rete, Jose Gandra and Estoban Bor-
garo, Jr, who are the defendants
in the case in which the government
is trying to establish that the three
men have conspired to incite and
promote a revolution against the Ic-
public of Mexico. Contradictory testi-
mony was given by wo Yaqui Indians,
Francisco Felix and Guadalupe Flores.
Felix testified that in a talk before
a group Of Yaqui warriors, Bishop
Nayarrete stated that he wanted
peace to be established between the
Yaqui Indians and the Mexican gov
ernment.
Flores on the stand stated that he
had been fighting against the MeXi-
can government for years to regain.
the land that the government had
taken away from the Indians. Bishop
NavarTete, in his talk before the
Indians, vouched for Jose Gandara
El PaSo photographer, one of the de-
PENDANTS, it was testified. The priest
told the Indians, Felix said, that
Gandara was working for peace and
that he would provide arms and
ammunition to provide for the Ind
ians to secure it.
On cross examination the Indians
stated that they we're not sure that
those statements had been made.
W. L. Conger, salesman for a. sport
ing goods company and the repre-
sentative of a company in San Fran
cisco that sells rifles, testified THAI
Bcrgaro, one of the defendants had
asked him for information relative
to the shipment and prices Of various
caliIore rifles. He testified that ne
gave the information to Borgaro after.
wiring the company as to the prices.
Borgaro arranged he said with the
bank to pay for the rifles when they
arrived here.
Benjamin Franklin Halliday, sales
manager for the arms company in
San Francisco, testified that the
order was received by him and as a
matter of routine business the rifles
we're shipped to the company at
Tucson to be delivered to Estepan
Borgaro, Jr., on Meyer street.
c. NJ. Orozco and W.. E. Jones,

Lewis and Clark County Assessors Prediction Made Last
April Proves Comect-Montana Courts Reversed By SUI
preme Court of the United Ruling Really Nuiies
the Classification Law of This State, Thinks Assessor
(From Helena Independentl

Helena, Dec. 6.-Predictions of
County Assessor C. H. Martien made
exclusively in The Independent on
April 18th, this year, came to pass
yesterday when the supreme court Of
the United States reversed the su-
preme court of Montana and held
that shares of stock of national banks
cannot be taxed at a greater rate than
"moneyed capital" in the hands Of in
dividual citizens.
In the Independent last April, Mr..
Martein declared that the decision Of
the United States supreme court IN
the case Of the State of Minnesota
against the First National bank Of
st. Paul was controlling in the mat
ter of taxing stock Of national banks
in this state despite a decision Of
Montana's supreme court in the case
of the Commercial National bank OF
Miles City that the stock of that bank
should be placed in the "4O per cent"
dclass in Montana instead of the y per
Lcent class" as is the case for the tax
alton of "moneyed capital" in this
state.
Following his own view Of the law,
/ Assessor Martien this year placed
stock of the national banks of this
county in the z per cent class. So far
as known here only one other assess

Fort Benton. Dec. II. ~ Charges
against two of the members of the
board of county commissioners of
Sheridan county, Edward Iverson and
Frank j. French, accusing them of col
lection of illegal fees and which, if
proven, would have necessitated their
removed from office, were dismissed
Monday by Judge Charles S. Hartman
of the district court of ChOuteau
county, who presided at the hearing
Of the cases against the two officials.
The action had been instituted in
the district court of Sheridan county
upon accusations filed by Hans Hard
ensen and Hans Rasmussen. In his
decision handed down Monday, pro-
viding for orders of dismissal, (which
were mailed the same day to the clerk
of the district court at PlentywOOd,
Judge Hartman finds that the de-
fendant commissioners acted in good
faith and without corrupt motives.
The court S decision in the IversOn
matter, which was made to apply to
the French case as well, follows in
part:
There is one controll-
/ ing question in the case, and counsel
4 for both parties agree that the grava-
men Of the charge in the cause, anC
\ the essential thing to be considere'
r by the court, is whether the defendan
knowingly, willfully and corrupt,
charged and collected illegal fee
from Sheridan county for services rem
dered by him in connection with hi
