K. K. KIanSmen 10 Ban
Masks on February Y

Birmingham, Ala, Jan THE
Birmingham Sunday News and Age
Herald will say Sunday that the
mask of the Ku Klux Klan will be
universally diacarded Feb %
This action will be taken, the
newspaper will say, following
meeting in Montgomery, Ala, last
week, between DR.. Hiram w. Evans
of Atlanta, imperial wizard of the
order, and high state officials of the
Alabama realm.
The News and Age Herald will say
that the announcement was made
at the Montgomery meeting by
James Esdale, grand dragon of the
klan in Alabama and that DR.. Ev-
ans officially sanctioned the plan.
Two reasoes will be given by the
News and Age-Herald for the KIan's
action in discard;ng the hood from
the regular regalia.
First" the newspaper will say,
there are many persons within the
khan and many others on the out
side who are violently opposed to
the hidden face.
Second states, municipalities
and divisions of the country are out
lawlne the mask by legislation. To
forestall universal legislation against
the visor, the k.an officials deemed
II wise to act at this time.
The newspaper will quote the khan
announcement as saying that on
Washineton's birthday, February 20
the masks will be taken away from
klanSmen everywhere, because law
ful barring Of the hood by the peo-
pie is only Il matter of time and the
klansmen wish to make the move
first
The News and Aee-Herald SAYS
that the order will be universally
promulgated and that every unit of
the khan will be required to Danish
the mask within month.

G. O. r. Convention Plans

Washington, D. c., Chairman Buffers
committee on arrangements for the Re-
publican national convention accomplished
an extraordinary amount of work at its
two-day session in Kansas City. Ralph
Z. Williame, 0regons national commit
teeman, vice chairman of the Republican
national committee, and one of the veter-
an members of that body, before leaving
Kansas City said that the convention
plans were two full months ahead of any,
thing which had been done before. One
thing which the Committee on Arrange
ments did which will interest newspaper
men, was the increase of the allotment
of newspaper seats from 542 (the number
reserved at Cleveland) TO 800. Jim Pres
ton, the superintendent of the Senate
press gallery, made the request for this
increase, but he says that Chairman But
Ter and his associates agreed at once and
without discussion. The notification to
tilt newspapers w ibt uRpiiSotioho Aoh
seats will probably be sent out early in
February. and the allotment of newspap-
er hotel rooms for sleeping and working
purposes will be shortly made.
All the committeeman and committee
women appreciate that this convention
will probably attract more people than
any convention held in a great many
years. 1t will be impossible to care for
all the newspapermen who apply, but
with Jim Preston and his staff in charge,
and the Committee on arrangements ap-
preciative of the situation, there need be
no worry but what the newspaper people
will have not merely a friend at court
but a friendly court to consider their ap-
plications.

Live Legion Meeting

The regular meeting of the Amer
lean Legion Post was held at the
Elein Cafe on Tuesday evening JAN
uary 18th, 1928. Commander Cliff
ford presided at the meeting and
introduced the evenings business
with very appropriate remarks out
lining the years work of the local
post.
Howard Lewis was guest of the
evening and gave a very interesting
talk about the possibilities of get
ting a State Militia Post at Plenty
wood. The members of the Legion
favored the idea and steps we're
taken to try to get such an institu-
ton at Plentywood.
After an evening of discussion re-
garding possibilities of raising money
to promote the work of the local
post, a turkey feed was served by
Posku and his worthy assistants.
A membership drive had taken
place during the previous month
and the losers were responsible for
the turkey and trimmings. During
this drive the membership of the
local post rose to approximately
fifty members.
Due to this increased enrolment
and attendance, it becomes neces-
sary to make arrangements for a
larger place in which the legion can
hold its meetings. A committee was
appointed to find such a place OF
meeting.

Million More Cars In
1927 Than In 1926

Reports received by the Montana
Automobile association show that
over million more cars were regis
tered in 1927 than in 1926. The
figures compiled by a large rubber
company, although not official are
regarded as approximately correct
and reveal a total of 23,579.000 for
the last year as against 22,273,743
for 1926 which up to the present
held the record.
New York holds first place with
California running close second on
number of machines for which Ii
censes we're issued.
Taking the registration total and
dividing it into the estimated popu-
Iation of the United States shows
one car for every 4.9 persons. The
1927 registration total also provides
7.9 motor cars for every square mile
OF area in the United States.
An estimated registration of mo
tor vehicles on farms shows 1873
per cent of the total or 4,700,00O
motor cars and trucks. Over 19 per
cent of the total highway mileage
in the United States has been sur
faced for motor vehicle traffic, big
gain in surfacing having been made
during 1927.

Victory for the Farm
Measure is Predicted

Rock Island, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-The
right of any administration of a po-
litical party to proceed further into
industrialization at the expense of
agriculture should be challenged by
the farmers in the opinion of Gov
ernor Adam Nc Mullen of Nebraska.
Speaking before the Illinois Aeri-
cultural association TODAY the Ne
braskan said that the welfare of
agriculture is more to be desired
than that of any party or individu-
al. Because their cause is just,
millions of farmers should not and
will not be submerged.
He predicted victory for aericul-
tural legislation and urged support
of the candidacy of former Cover
nor Frank 0. Lowden of Illinois for
president.
Characterizine the McNary-Haue-
en- bill as THE best proposal for
farm legislation that has been de-
yised, Governor McMullen said: In
humiliation the party must recoe-
nize the action of the president in
vetoing the bill neither followed nor
was accompanied by any construc-
tive move on the part of the presi.
dent for redemption of the pledge
to agriculture.
This Meeting would be justified
in urging that congress repass the
farm surplus control bill, improved
and strengthened 10 everv way anc
in demanding that the president
fulfill the pledge Of his party by
signing it. If this appeal to the
president once more falls on dea1
ears, then a united effort should be
made to pass it over the veto.

MELLON REPORTS ON OUTLOOK FOR TREASURY FOR THE
 COMING YEAR

WASHINGTON, April 4, (P)-Sec- retary Mellon, in reporting on the outlook for the Treasury for the next year, told the Senate Finance Con- mittee the S29O,OOO,0OO tax reduc- tion voted by the House must be cut down to S2O1 100000 and perhaps S1S2,OOO,0Oo
 This is even less than the Treas. ury Secretary proposed to the House last fall and is necessary, he explain ed, because of the increased govern ment expenditures rather than due to any drop in revenues which are ex- pected to equal last years on the basis from the first returns.
 The administration proposal for a $225 5,000.00O cut to attain the $200, 00,0o0 limitation suggested the pre- sent automobile tax of three-percent which was repealed by the House, is to be restored to the bill saving S62, 100000 that was existing.
 The 13 and one-haf percent corp oration levy will be reduced only to 12 percent rather than to II and one half percent as voted by the House
