plant that she entered into q con.
tract with the Vanities Producing
Company and Carroll to appear as
prifna donna. Mrs. Penfield, she
asserts, backed the production to
the extent Of $250,00O before the
curtain was lifted, but declined to
be officially identified with the pro-
duction and used the name Of her
secretary, Evelyn Hubbell, az the
ostensible angel of the show.

play which was composed by

The battls over Congregational re-
apportionment, with its changes in
State representation and possible
effect on presidential elections. was
resumed in the Senate today.
The reapportionTnent bill to which
IL linked . section authorizing q new
census this year, would increase
Congressional representation In IL
States while slashing the repre-
sentation in II others. Its oppo-
nents charge It was hastily drawn
ana dispute the basic methods Of
computing representation.
Oppose PrOvisO
Most of the opposition revolves
around giving the President power
to reapportion the House II Con-
gress fails to act after any future
census. This provision was added
to offset the dilatoriness Of Con.
gress, which has not yet reappor
toned the House on the 1920 CEN
sus, although the Constitution dl.
rects It to do 20 at once.
Senator Black D.D Of Alabama
who led the fight against the bill,
charged II would give the President
too much power--a power he might
use to maintain his party in office
by changing the representation Of
States almost at will.

VERA VIVIAN YARDE

Vera Vivian Yarde, little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Yarde
of Lundville, died at the General
hospital here on Jan. 1. Her un-
timely death was caused by a
complication of diseases, flu,
%whooping cough and pneumonia.
She had been sick for about a
month and all that the doctor and
nurses could do seemed to be Of
no avail. The absence of her
bright and shining face is a great
loss to all who knew her, and the
deep sympathy of many friends
goes out to the bereaved family.
Funeral services were held at
the Lutheran church at Flaxville
and her last resting place in the
Flaxville cemetery with a brother
Claire and sister Dorothy who left
her a few months before.

reservation highways built with
100 per cent government money
must also be maintained by the
state two years after completion
Would Avoid Bonds
If the proposed additional two
cent gasoline tax goes into effect
on March LIST, 1929, it would avoid
a bond issue by initiative or refer
endum and either of these would
not yield revenue until 1881, or a
lapse of two full years, whereas
the bill proposed by the Montana
Automobile association would
bring about at least a ten million
dollar road building fund in the
next four years over and about
the present revenue or approx
mately a grand total of twenty
million dollars for the building Of
highways and bridges and the
maintenance on the present fed
eral aid system.
If this new proposal would go
into effect it would without doubt
bring about all the United States
marking of the Montana highways
and likewise allow the state to oil
many more miles of road than
could be done under the present
income and would also enable
snow removal.
1t is the intention of those be-
hind the measure to have it run
for a four-year period only. The
bill would be identical with the
present gas tax laws and be sub
ject to all their provisions in
every way.
Money Would Come Back
If the people of Montana should
through their legislative
representatives to approve this
measure as recommended by the
Montana Automobile association it
would allow the state in the next
few years to connect up the i'm
portant and well travelled high
ways that would not only mean
to the motoring Mont
ana public but add many million
dollars to the states wealth in
he way of increased foreign auto
mobile tourist traffic.
1t would solve the hue and cry
hat the present revenue is not
sufficient and Montana's road
building should proceed at a much
more rapid rate.
