ORDERS CUT In FREIGHT
RATES ON PETROLEUM

HELENA, March 19-Reduction
in freight rates on petroleum and
its products within Montana were
ordered by the state railroad COM
mission Tuesday. The decreases
amount to about 80 percent on gaso-
line and other high grade refined
oils, about 25 percent on joint line
hauls and charges on the heavier oils
are fixed at about rs percent Of the
refined product rates.
While the commissions only con-
Germ was the relative reasonableness
of Montana rates as compared with
those in other sections of the coun-
try, the reductions are considered a
decided advantage to the oil industry
in Montana. Individually and through
the Montana chapter Of the Rocky
Mountain Oil and Gas association, re-
timers, producers and distributors
were represented at the hearing be-
fore the commission with testimony
in behalf Of lower rates. Frequent
reference was made to the fact that
the commissions last pronouncement
was in 1922, when production was
in it's infancy and there were no re-
fineries within the state.
Reductions were opposed by the
carriers while representatives Of con-
Germs operating in both Montana and
Wyoming fields adopted neutral
position.-Great Falls Tribune.

somewhere, where death and cruel
parting are no more.

story very cleverly written with a
lot of wit and humor and supplied
with action to keep your interest

This promises to be something very
different in the line of entertain

of this form or sort before the public

from any thus far staged.
So start right now and make res

PUNCTUALITY

Prepared by committee Of teachers.
In every walk Of life this word
plays an important part. Seldom a
is not brought to our attention. The
matter of arriving on time, both
morning and noon, of turning in
written work when due-of being
punctual in every duty; this is a
part of our problem.
Home conditions are responsible
for great deal Of our hardness.
There may be illness at home, the
clocks may be wrong or the weather
too cold for the child's scanty cloth
ing, but on the other hand some par
ents do not care whether their chill
dren get to school on time or not,
while other children are not taught
the responsibility Of getting to school
at the correct hour. Children should
| be taught at home as we'll as at
school what punctuality means to
themselves as we'll as to their class
mates.
Children who are thoroughly in
terested in their school will never
Of their OWN ACCORD be tafdy.
How can we attain the best re-
suits Shall the tardy person be pun
ished? Will this punishment have the
desired effect? To some children
hardness is a habit--just as going
to bed and getting up.
These children are chronic offend
ers and will grow up the same way.
They will always be late for church,
always late to committe meeting,
always late for some social function.
Every time child is late he loses
in moral value. He is embarrassed
when his class mates turn to look
at him and it means extra trouble
to the teacher The tardy child misses
something, which must be made up.
In our schools we have stressed
hardness so strongly that some chill
dren when they arrive at the building
late will not enter but go home. This
is not as it should be. a child loses
too much school work in just one
half days absence-and to some of
our less conscientious people, it pro-
vides an avenue for an excuse to
stay home.
/ wonder if we get cooperation
from ALL parents? Can't we bring
up our room standard?
So long as we try to get parents
to help US, we shall not make much
progress. But as soon as we can lead
the parents to do something for the
welfare of their child, when we can
show them how to cooperate in
building character in their children,
we can hope to get their genuine CO.
operation.
The debate Friday between Kalis-
pell and Libby was a great success

THE ADMINISTRATIONS SENATE
 DEFEAT.

The defeat of the Administration in the Senate when that body insisted upon inserting the export debenture clause in the Farm Relief Bill recalls the troubles former President Coolidge had With Congress Time after time he was turned down by one house or the other on very important mat ters but someway he struggled through nearly two terms to the end of a very successful Administra- tion and great victories for his party in all three Congressional elections in which he concerned. President Hoover if we are to judge by the past, has little to be alarmed at because of this early defeat in the Senate

Senator David Reed defeated postponement Of the national-origins plan of immigration restric- tion last winter by the threat of fbuster; now he and few associates laborng to accomplish an- other defeat It is little hard to understand the
 nsistense of Senator Reed, Senator Reyes Senator Harris and others upon this plan. When he re- gently returned from Europe MT. Reed said that bread lines reaching the length of Manhattan will be seen within year if one-tenth the aliens clam bring for admission are allowed to enter" But under the present system they cannot enter. This system permits maximum of only 164667 to come in the national-origins system fixes the maximum at 153,000 figure but slightly smaller President Green of the American Federation of Labor has refused to indorse the national-origins system Both MT Hoover and ex-Governor Smith condemned it. Its scientific value is dubious while it is certain to cause confusion inconvenience and revival of racial ealouies and resentments. MT. Reed will do well to let the Senate debate and vote freely on this measure. The result hardly be in doubt.

DEFENDING TOBACCO.

While certain organizations waging more or less open warfare against tobacco in general and cigarettes in particular the solacing American weed is not without distinguished defenders In fact some of them are more than defenders. They are aggres- syey for tobacco Among those who have led ot- fensive charges in behalf of tobacco are not only the Prime Minister of England but the conservative and reliable New York Herald Tribune, the couIr- trys most famous newspaper whose origin rests firmly on the names of James Gordon Bennett and Horace Greeley.
 Premier Baldwin, in his last Thanksgiving Day speech offered his profound thanks to America for the gift of tobacco to the world. Now comes the Herald Tribune with sturdy testimony and strong argument in behalf of the Federal Radio Commis- sion for refusing to deny cigarette manufacturers ac- cess to the radio for advertising. The New York paper says:
 Wisely we are convinced, the Federal Radio Commission declined to refuse the programs of the cigarette manufacturers ac- cess to the radio. The idea that cigarettes are instruments of the devil has been pretty well exploded Many saintly persons to- gether with great numbers of statesmen, en- gineers editors, jurists and even Funda- mentalists use them habitually or occasion ally and the vital statistics do not indicate that they die before their time are inn paired morally by that habit. Sir Walter Raleigh who introduced the use of tobacco
 into England died it is true before his time,
 but he died of a sharper medicine than
 nicotine poisoning. As great literary fav
 orite as Robert Louis Stevenson, in of
 his travel stories, spoke of "deifying tobac-
 CO., meaning cigarettes. General Grant did
 not smoke cigarettes, it is true, but he

 been the predictions as to what would hap
 pen to if they persisted in cigarette
 smoking, there has been well authen-
