FOR COUNTY

At the November election the voter will be handed a separate
ballot which will read:
"Shall the Board of County Commissioners of Sheridan County,
Montana, be authorized to make an additional levy of five () mills
IN addition to the regular five 60 mill levy authorized by law upon
the taxable property OF the county of Sheridan, State of Montana
for the years 1929 and 1880 for the purpose of constructing roads
and bridges"
Now, Mr.. Voter, you may not be aware that the regular five
mill road levy is not levied against any property within the corpor-
ate limits of the towns of Medicine Lake, Antelope, Westby, Out
look or Plentywood That is state law. But, if the special levy car
rls, 1t will be levied against ALL property in the county, including
the property within the corporate limits of those towns.
The regular road levy is made against farm property only
property not within any town or city,. All incorporated towns
are exempt from this tax because they have street and alley taxes
to pay. However, the towns, just as well as the rural districts. want
more and better roads, and will no doubt vote for the levy.
Mr.. Farmer, vote for the levy and thereby have the property
owners In the towns help you pay the road tax. It is the only way
you can legally make the town resident pay road taxes on his
property.
The travel on the roads of the county is mostly done by auto
mobile or truck, and requires a reasonably good road in order that
such conveyance may be used with some degree of economy
Our commissioners are trying to give all Of the county more and
better roads, but such program is far in excess of the funds avail.
able for that purpose. There is a great demand from all parts of the
county for new roads and more efficient maintenance. The loss of
the gas tax, which now goes into the state highway commission fund
cuts the county road funds in two. We canot have roads without q
road fund.
We can be taxed for no better purpose than for building roads
Vote "FOR" the additional levy.

withdrawn from the depository banks
for the cash account between Sept. 3
and Nov. 80, 1926.
Takes Treasurer's Statement
On cross examination by Louis p.
Donovan of counsel for the plaintiff,
Mr.. Erb said he did not check tn.
collateral security in the depository
banks but took a statement by Mr..
Torstenson as being correct. He said
he did not know whether or not all
checks had been cleared in the banks
when making his statements in regard
to the deposits in these institutions.
Charles Ross of Sheridan county
who was called as a witness by the
defense testified that he had Liberty
and county bonds on deposit in the
county treasurer's office at the time
of the robbery and that the interest
had been paid on them since that date.
All testimony given by William
Haas Of Outlook and Charles E. Tay-
lor, state senator from Sheridan
county and editor Of the Producers
News, who were called to the stand
by the defense counsel, was ordered
stricken from the evidence. Haas tes-
titled that he was the owner of Dan
iels county warrants in the amount
of $S60.20 and that these warrants
had been loaned to Mr.. Taylor for
which he received a receipt, the lat
ter being placed as an exhibit by the
defense. Mr.. Taylor said he did not
turn the warrants over to the county
treasurer as defense was attempting
to prove, but gave them to a Mr..
Olson to cover an indebtedness incur
red during one of his campaigns for
state senator. With this the defense
rested.

Names of Hoover and Smith
Will Not Appear on Ballot

Voters of Sheridan county who on
Nov. 6 will appear at the polls under
the belief that they may vote directly
for Alfred E. Smith, Herbert Hoover
or any other presidential candidate,
are doomed to disappointment, as the
names of the candidates for the pres
idency and vice presidency will not
appear on the ballots.
Despite the fact that the names
of such candidates have not appeared
on general election ballots for number
of years, fully one-haf of the voters
appear to believe that they will, ac-
corrding to County Clerk John z.
Moran.
While an elector may not vote d.
rectly for a candidate for president
or vice president, he does so indi-
rectly by voting for presidential elect
ors.
The number of presidential electors
to be chosen is the same as the
number of votrs that state ma,
cast in an electoral college, or in
the case of Montana four. Conse-
quently voters of the county will find
the anne of four candidates for pres
idential electors heading each party
ticket.
Electors Must Meet
The votes for electors must be
canvassed to and returned in the
same manner as the votes for state
officers and the governor must
transmit to each of the successful
candidates a certificate of election.
Electors are required to assemble
at the seat of government on the
second Monday in January after THEN
| election and when convened must
vote by ballot for one person for
president and one for vice president
f the United States. Separate bal
lots are required for president anc
vice president.
In the case of the death or absence
of any electors chosen, or in case the
number of electors is deficient from
any cause, the electors present must
elect so many persons as will be re.
CURED to supply the deficiency.
Electors received the same pay ano
mileage as is allowed to members o.
the legislative assembly.
Majority Doesn't Always Win
The electors in view of the statute:
may be compared to proxies for tn,
candidates for president and vice
president and receive directly the
votes that are intended for the can
| uidates for such offices.
The electora lsystem has been gen
orally satisfactory but is such tina
it is possible for a presidential candi-
date to receive a vast .~.l4jority of thc
votes cast and yet fail to be electeo
to the presidency.
This is illustrated by the election OF
1876 when Samuel j.. Tilden reviewed
d popular vote of 4,284,885 as com
pared with 4,033,950 for Rutherford
B. Hayes. Despite Tilden's plurality
of 205,935, Hayes was elected presi-
dent by 1876 electoral votes to 1874.
Another suitable example 0 fthe
working of the electoral system is
found in the election of 1880 wher
James A. Garfield received 4,449,1 Joe
votes as compared with ~4,442,O35 fol-
w. S. Hancock, or a plurality of but
7,018 votes. Garfield, however re.
ceived 214 electoral votes and Han.
cock but 155.

Front Entrance, With Gable
and Chimney, Is
Attractive.
DESIGN PERMITS
EFFECTIVE COLOR
Seven Rooms, Well Lighted
Attic and Many Features
Are Provided For.
BY L. PORTER MOORE,
Home Owners Institute, ]

President, Home owners Institute, Inc.
Because his plans always prove pop
ular and economical with home build
ers, we offer today, as Plan No. 331-
another design from the board OF DAVID
S. Douglass, architect, OF Hartford,
Conn.
This design, of English derivation, has
seven rooms, two baths, extra lavatory,
pantry, sunroom, open porch and two
car attached garage. Attic is Weli
lighted, with windows at both ends.
One or two sleeping rooms might be
finished in this space. or billiard table
could be installed there. The house
contains $1,000 cubic feet.
A combination of materials is recon-
mended for the exterior; these in
clude common brick for the first floor
and stucco with half tirnbering for the
second, with shingles on the second
floor rear elevation. Front entrance,
with gable and chimney, is an attrac-
tive combination. Chimney in itself Is
a good detail.
Treatment of roof gives the house a
close-to-the-ground appearance and
permits of effective use of color, which
would be entirely appropriate not only
for the roof of this house, but also for
the second floor sidewalks of the rear
elevation. Such treatment would add
to the fire safety of the building. Deco
rative shutters. hardware in suitable
pattern, with lanterns and mail box.
and common brick pillar at driveway
lend further interest to the exterior.
Lavatory off the stair landing in the
entry hall marks the design as modern.
Placement of fireplace and bay window
in living room, which is of generous
size, suggests interesting furniture
groupings.
Sleeping chambers are of good size
with ample closet space. Second bath
is very convenient. Access to the attic
may be gained by continuing the main
stair upward.
