ARCHER SCHOOL ELEC-

Dear SirS.

April is, 1928.

Plentywood, Mont.
Dear Sirs:
Will you please print this letter
about the school election recently held
at Archer. Different ones have ask
ed me as a judge of the election to
tell the true story.
considered it one of the dirtiest
elections ever held since l started to
vote
The election was as follows:
Ole Flakne was filed on the ballot
as candidate and his name was the
only one to appear on the ballot at
the time the electors went to the poll
to vote, but the final count brought
forth the name of H. P. Madsen, which
had been written in by several voters.
MIR. Madsen got eight votes with
his name written in and a cross be-
fore the name, and three voters wrote
In II. z. Madsen's name but failed to
mark an \ before his name. Ole
Flakne got 9 legal votes with cross
before his name.
AS judge l protested against the
counting of the ballots which contain
ed no X before any name, but | was
overruled by Hans Madsen and Bert
Jensen, who were on the board with
myself as judges.
| Mr.. Madsen made out the Tally list
with Ole Flakne receiving 9 votes and
II. P. Madsen IL votes, despite nv
protestation that the votes should
be thrown out or put on the talley
sheet as three blank votes.
Hans Madsen is in, according TO
my opinion and several others in this
district, because he awarded himself
the job.
L herewith enclose a letter from
State Attorney General Foot. giving
his opinion on ballots not marked with
an X. l wish you would print this
also so as the readers of the News
can get clear understanding of this
matter, and it might be that some
other districts have the same expert
ence.
With best regards to you all and the
readers of the News.

PROG. FARMERS ENJOY
BIG SOCIAL EVENING

A splendid time was enjoyed at
the Farmer-Labor Temple last Mon
day evening, when the members of
the Plentywood Council put on one of
their big social events.
Over two hundred people were pres
ent to enjoy the splendid program and
dance.
The program of the evening ended
at $3.50, when the floor was cleared
for dancing, the P. F. A. band orches-
ira furnishing the music. At 1920 an

departed for their homes, having en-
Joyed the event to the utmost.

Fergus and Phillips all export winter
wheat in fine condition. Lewis and
Clark and Lake both report some win

Livestock
Only a few days of warm, dry
weather are needed to see pastures OPP

ing to reports from important stock
raising counties. Custer reports sheep
range opening up at the close of the
week, and both sheep and cattle in eX-
cellent condition. The following coun-
ties report satisfactory lamb crops:
Blaine, Sweet Grass, Rosebud, Carbon,
Fergus, Dawson and Beaverhead. The
bulk of the Landing in Beaverhead
will not be completed until Nav.
Weather conditions are not interfer-
ing with Landing operations in the
southwestern stock county, according
to reports. In Powell countv wet,
cold weather has caused some loss
of lambs.
Counties uniformly report cattle in
excellent condition after one of the
heaviest feeding seasons in the states
history. In Fergus county stockmen
are going to plant more hay pasture
this year. Lewis and Clark reports g
large number of cattle being finished
for market.
Labor
There is a slight increase in demand
for farm labor Throughout the state
but to date it is being satisfactorily
met locally.

BY DON S. WARREN.

The setback, or pyramid, style for
the higher buildings erected in Wash
ington is to prevail as the recognized
mode for new developments here, at
least for the present. The Zoning
Commission by very definite action this
week voted against proposal to cast
into discard the setback provision for
buildings running to the maximum
height of 100 feet, which was made
part of the coming code in the District
about a year ago.
The commission rejected the pro-
posed amendment to the coming regu-
lations which would have permitted
buildings 1870 feet high without set
backs above the 110-foot level, as now
required. The proposed change was
urged by group of local builders, and
was strenuously objected to by the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission. the American Institute of
Architects and its local chapter, the
American Civic Association and indi-
viduals.
At the same time the Zoning Com
mission disapproved the petition of
julius Garfinckel for permission to
erect his proposed new department
store, on the northwest corner of Four
tenth and F streets, 100 feet high
without setbacks above the 110-foot
level. This would have constituted an
exception from the existing regulations
in the absence of approval of the pre-
posed amendment.
Mai Donald A. Dawson, executive
officer of the zoning Commission, in
commenting on the matter, stated to-
day that the decision by the commits
sion indicates determination on the
part of that body to stabilize coming
regulations in the District: to look with
disapproval upon requested changes
and amendments of a drastic nature
until there has developed very def

City planners and others who have
studied coming and its effects have been
of the opinion for some time that the,
real benefit of coming is its stability
Frequent changes in the coming OF
property and in the general coming
regulations, it has been said, only tend
to Great fluctuations in values of prop
erty.
Some developers and builders main-
tain that there already is a need for
higher buildings in Washington. They
point to the high rentals and high as
sessments ON Office building sites in
support of their arguments. =
The petition for the Garfinckea
change was based primarily on the fact
that the Willard Hotel the National
Press Building and the Westory Build
ing, on opposite corners of the inters
section, are more than 100 feet high
without Setbacks. 1t was brought OUT
however, that the Willard Hotel and
the Westory Building we're erected prior
to the adoption of coming laws for the
District, and that the Press Building
was approved by special act of Con-
gress. Fears were expressed at the
hearing that should an exception be
made III the Garfinckel Building case
adjoining property owners might file
similar petitions. citing the Garfinckel
case as precedent.
The decision of the commission, on
the other hand. creates a real problem
to be solved by Mr.. Garfinckel, his
architects and engineer. Charles II.
Tompkins, the contractor, pointed out
to the commission that a department.
store must have higher ceiling heights
than an Office building; that for this
reason refusal Of perm sslon to do
away with che setback requirement.
might mean the elimination of an en-
tire story in order to get the desired
ceiling height for the various stories
in the projected building.
