The Rialto Theater on Broad street, the newest movie house in the city, has proved a popular little theater and is showing a high class grade of pictures to it's patrons who are not, it might be noted. drawn entirely from the neighborhood in which the house is located. Original ly it was thought that the Rialto would be a so-called "neighborhood' theater. but already it seems to have outgrown that.

It Is currently reported that the Shuberts, lessees of Parsons theater in Hartford, are having difficulty in booking attractive shows for this theater and that this is the reason no new plays of note have been booked recently. It was thought surprising that "Abies Irish Rose" should be brought back for Christ mas week, but apparently the booking agent believed this to be the best thing available. Since then there has been nothing at Parsons to attract attention in the show line. Ben Hur," the movie, was held over for q second week and it is reported that "The Big Parade" also is to be brought back.
 Reports from New York state that about a dozen shows that ordinarily would be expected to take to the road this winter have disbanded in Gotham. Even the famous Sonny" may not be the big road hit that was expected for, it is said, Marilyn Miller and several other stars are not with the road show.

OUR REPRESENTATIVES,

WASHINGTON, D. C.-American
business men who in the past have
paid little or no attention to the dip
lOmatic service on the theory that the
gentlemen who represent US abroad
as ambassadors, ministers and secre-
taries were social rather than real
business figures, have come to a real
ization that they have misinterpreted
the possibilities Of these officers. For
the first time American business men
at first hand are making representa-
tons to Secretary Kellogg that in
making appointments attention be
given to the business capacity and
vision of the men who are sent
abroad. In the old days the ability
Of a diplomatic officer to dance
smoothly, talk softly and be a perfect
gentleman was supposed to make him
Al for his post. Since the war, how
ever, in the struggle for world trade,
it has been found that the represent
tatives Of other countries have begun
to spend less time at teas, and more
in factories and counting houses. AS
a result a new vision has come to.
American manufacturers. It is to the
credit Of these business men, however,
that they have approached the matter
in a fine spirit.

WALSH BETRAYS FARMERS

When the national senate last Friday passed
the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill by a vote of
AT to 80, the ballot of Senator T. ]. Walsh of Mon
tana was recorded among the noes"
Thus did Mr.. Walsh, elected from a state large
ly devoted to agriculture, exemplify his friendly
feeling for the farmer, his appreciation of the
farmers serious problems, and his willingness to
aid him in their solving.
Indeed, press dispatches record that the first
major assault against the bill was made by this
same Mr.. Walsh, who proposed that cit be de-
ferred for two years as to all farm commodities
affected" His amendment, however, was defeat
ed by a vote Of 50 to 35 and he had to content
himself by responding mo" when the measure
came up for passage.
Lacking the necessary courage to admit that
he cares little for the farmer and his troubles,
Senator Walsh explains his adverse vote by as
serting that the bill is unconstitutional"
Our impression is that the supreme court of
the United States is the body entrusted with the
duty of determining whether legislation conforms
to the provisions of the national constitution. We
recall something about its having been provided
for that purpose, and we believe it is entirely
competent to discharge that duty. "
What right has Senator Walsh, in voting upon
a bill in the United States senate, to attempt to
usurp the functions of the federal supreme court
and oppose efforts to correct crying evils on the
ground that the method proposed is 'unconstitu-
tional?" Although an attorney of considerable
renown, we fail to find record of his having been
delegated that prerogative.
It may be said that senators with legal training
as thorough as that of Senator Walsh have ex-
pressed the opinion that the McNary-Haugen

their distress. It's constitutionality win unboubt-

Foreign issues, totalling $751;
193. 900, showed an increase Of ap-
proximately $4&OOO,OOO over the pre-
year; but if Canadian issues
which increased more than $56,OO0,OO
are excluded. there was an actual de-
crease of about S12,OOO,OOO in foreign
financing for the year, this being
caused by a very considerable drop In
foreign government financing, which
more than offset an increase of
ly s12O,OOO,O0O in foreign corporate
issues. Other groups that declined
were municipal issues, which decreas-
ed by $57, 100000.
Bond offerings by railroads invOlv-
ing new capital, as distinct from re-
funding issues, amounted to $685.
1000, the smallest total in seven
years, whereas similar fiancing by
public utilities totalled $1,139, 0 $1,000,
an increase Of $165, 900 1000 over the
previous high record attained in 1925.
A tendency on the part of railroads to
stock, rather than Of bonds, is lOgi-
cally to be expected, and is in line
with the policy promulgated last
March by the interstate commerce
commission.
Foreign Issues
In the field of foreign loans, most
notable during the year were the sub
stantial reduction in German issues
and the increasing activity in Italian
and South American financing.
Prominent among the Italian offer
ings this month was an issue Of $10,-
OO0, 900 ten-year z per cent deben-
ture of "Montecatini," the largest
manufacturer in Italy, and one of the
largest producers in the world of in
organic chemicals. Stock purchase
] warrants, a feature Of several recent
foreign offerings which have proved
attractive to investors, entitled hold
ers to purchase stock of the company
on a graduated scale of prices.

wAsHINGTON'S TRUST IN GOD

Next Tuesday the American people will OBJ
serve the anniversary of the birth of that greatest
of Americans, George Washington.
In this materialistic age it is inspiring to recall
that one of the outstanding characteristics of the
Revolutions heroic leader was his faith in and
reliance upon God. During the trying days of the
conflict his courage was sustained by his belief
in a Supreme Being and his trust in Divine
guidance.
Proof of this is not hard to find. Excerpts from
Washington's correspondence show that he re-
ferred constantly to the Providence of God. In a
letter to Governor TrumbuIl Of Connecticut, in
IT'S, he said: GAS the cause of our common
country calls us both to an active and dangerous
duty, 1 trust that Divine Providence, which wisely
orders the affairs of men, will enable us to dis
charge it with fidelity and success"
Again, in a letter to General Gage of the
British army, Washington wrote: MAY the God
to whom you then appeal, judge between America
and you. Under His Providence, those who in
fluenced the councils of America, and all the other
inhabitants of the United Colonies, at the hazard
of their lives are determined to hand down to
~pOsterity those just and invaluable privileges
which they received from their ancestors"
In January, 1776, Washington wrote to General
Reed: "How it will end, God, IN His great good
ness, will direct. 1 am thankful for His protec-
ton to this Tine" And on December 80, ITS,
in a letter to Benjamin Harrison of Virginia he
said: Providence has heretofore taken US up
when all other means and hopes seemed to be
departing from us. In this l will confide."
In all of the dark and dreary days of the RevOlu-
ton, when treachery, jealousy and political plots
added to the gloom of defeat, WashingtOn's trust
in God, his dependence upon Providence, and his
cheerful acceptance of the Divine will never
Wavered.
Would that the leaders of the nation today
might approach their tasks and discharge their
duties in the ~reverent spirit and with the calm
faith in God that Washington displayed! Then
would the future of America be assured

AN UNFAIR MEASURE

II
One of the most unfair pieces of legislation
that has received the approval of either house of
the Twentieth Montana assembly is Senate Bill
No. IA, by E. N. Joffray of Jefferson county,
passed Monday by the senate. The vote was 90
to %.
The bill is now in the house. If it becomes a
law, the larger counties will lose many thousands
of dollars which they have heretofore used for
road purposes. Gallatin county's loss will be in
excess of $4,000 annually.
The measure provides that, instead of the pre-
sent plan under which a considerable percentage
of the auto license tax money is returned to the
counties from which it originated, the total fund
shall be divided equally among the states IS
counties. For example, auto license tax collected
in the fiscal year 1885 amounted to $780,
1884. Of this GaIlatin county received S45,-
S53.27. Under the Joffray proposal each county
would have received an equal sum-$23,2 5425.
We are pleased to note that Senator w. H.
Buttelman of this county was among those who
voiced opposition to the measure and whose votes
were recorded against it.
One of the most eloquent denouncers of the
JOffray bill was Senator T. J. Walker of Silver
Bow county, who declared on the floor of the.
senate that it fought to be termed an act to
.legalize highway robbery"
Neither Jesse James nor Kid Curry would con-
slider such a project as is contemplated here" he
added. "You men in the smaller counties don't
want to be fair. You want roads but you want
somebody else to pay for them"
On Wednesday Senator F. a. Hazelbaker of
Beaverhead county, who voted for the bill, gave
notice of intention to move it's reconsideration. It
is understood he has a plan for amending it so
that the money would be returned to the road
districts instead of to the counties, and placed
under the control of the state highway commits
sion, which would consult county commissioners
regarding projects outside of those in which fed
eral aid is involved.
This proposal is fully as Objectionable, if not
more so, than Joffray's. 1t would virtually de-
prive the counties of control over whatever auto
license tax money they might receive. 1t de-
serves to be relegated to the famous limbo where
"the woOdbine twineth and the whangdoodle
mOurneth," as the Belgrade Journal would say
We have reason to believe that the obvious in
justice of the Joffray measure will result in its
defeat in the house., notwithstanding that its
passage will be urged by representatives from
many of the smaller counties, which would bene
fit greatly. In any event, we expect to see Gal
latin county's delegation lined up soIidly agains
the bill.

The amounts due US are relatively
small. At the close of the war they
were only a little over ten billion
less han one-half of 1 per cent Of the
total wealth of the world.
The margin is only a trifle, yet that
trifle is profoundly important.
Just as an unemployment that IS
less than 1 per cent can produce
hardships, low wages, and low prices,
so a margin of international credit
that IS less than 1 per cent can pro-
duce national hatreds and jealOusies.
That is precisely what happened to
US. We hold that margin and the re-
sponsibility that goes with it. We
are the worlds richest nation, and in
a position of greatest danger, as well
as of greatest possible usefulness.
The banking system of the United
States has therefore become most
important internationally.
Your bank is not merely a place to
carry your overdraft; it is not merely
a very present help in time Of trou-
bic. 1t is a part of a system that
is the center Of the financial struc-
ture Of the entire world. Upon it de-
ponds not merely the safety of the
dollars you. have accumulated, but
also the industrial progress of your
community, and, in the mass, the
peace and stability of the world.
Are you a part of this system?
Do you save?
Have you a bank account?
Have you investments, small Of
large, in any financial organization ?
