FORTY-MILE AUTO SPEED LIMIT
BILL KILLED IN LEGISLATURE
MOVE To RAISE LIMIT FROM 35
MILES AN HOUR is DEFEATED
Former Senator L. A. DrexIer Head of
Safety Council Urges That Limit
Remain 80 Miles as Law Stands

considerable discussion was had in
the lower house of the Delaware Leg
lsIature last week, when an amend
ment to the new automobile law to in
crease the speed limit on highways
from 80 miles an hour to 40 miles an
hour was offered. The House, Thurs
day afternoon, unanimously passed
representative Brewers bill codifying
the automobile laws of the State and
| providing for the new feature of re
curing new applicants for drivers
license to pass an examination. Two
amendments to the bill were adopted
by the House, one correcting an error
In the bill under consideration and the
other to allow buses carrying pas
sengers to legally operate at 35 miles
an hour instead of 25 as fixed in the
bill. Former Senator Louis A. Drex-
Ter, active Delaware Safety Council
worker, who was chairman of the
committee that prepared the bill, lead
the fight against the amendment to
increase the speed limit which amend
ment was offered by Mr.. Brewer. Mr.. |
DreXler based his argument largely |
on the safety viewpoint of the ques-
ton. He stated that last year there |
We're 1877 casualties in Delaware and |
2lOO injured and of these SO were kill
ed and 500 injured On the highways.
lhls caused an economic loss of $2,-
5OO,OOO. He said the committee hoped
they were now on the road to cut
down that casualty list. This bill is
the result Of months Of work Of
joint committee named BY former
Governor Robinson, representing liz
different organization. Mr.. Drexler.
who is also president of the Delaware
Safety Council was chairman of this
and Walter Dent Smith.
Of the Delaware Safety
Council was secretary. The bill pass
ID Thursday was a substitute for
skeleton bill introduced by Mr.. Brew
y who had also aided the committee
2 large extent in its work. The bill
eally codifies practically all the auto
mobile laws of the State except those
aising revenue such as the gasoline ,
ak law into one act. A large num-
er of bills now on the calendars to
mend the automobile laws will be
tricken from the calendar should the !
'rewer bill pass the Senate and be- !

James Russell LoweH LeaOes
County to Its Fate; SOcceeded
By L. S. Olsen, Now Editor

James Russell Lowell, editor of
The Pletnywood Herald, has quit
the position which he has held for
over a year and resigned his edi-
tolial chair to Mr.. L. S. Olson.
Unhonored and unsung he left a
county he had come to save and
he left it unredeemed. During the
year that he lived here he had
some success, chiefly in Fastening
the Generalization of the political
group which succeeded the Farm
er-Labor administration in Sheri-
dan County. Where Jamie found
one solid faction he left behind him
half a dozen warning groups. His
master Harry Polk was not so in
terested in saving Sheridan Coun-
ty from Charles Taylor, Rodne,
Salisbury, Hans Rasmussen and
the rest of the Bolsheviks, after he
lost the county printing contract to
Joe Dolin. Harry's love for the
flag and his devotion to 100 per
cent Americanism deteriorated rap
idly after Joe Dolin got the gravy,
leaving poor Harry and his good
man Jamie to live as best they
could on their patriotism. So they
vented their wrath on their form
er political allies.
This is not really an obituary
notice tho poor Jamie always
struck us as "dead one" But it
is customary when anybody passes
out of the picture to comb his rec
ord or explore the recesses of his
personality for something favor
able to say in his behalf. About
the only virtue we could see in
Jamie was his pulchritude which
had that of Corporal Winters back
ed off the boards. Whether his
charm of person struck an answer
ing chord in local female breast
we do not know, nor do we care
to know. but we wish to read this
one asset into the record.

Barnes did not reveal the
specific nature of the consti-
tutiOnal question.
i \ x
The grain gamblers are op-
posing the Federal Farm
Board because they fear it is
going to knock their line of
graft into a cooked hat. On
the other hand many indus
tries that cater to the farmers,
such as the International Harves-
ter Trust, would like to see the
farmers in possession of enough
money to pay for farm machinery.
Mail order houses are anxious that
the rural population is able to buy
their commodities. The politicians
of the Republican party feared
that if they did not do something
for the farmer the rural vote
would fly away, and worse still,
the farmers might be driven into
organizing political party of
their own on class lines, with the
aim of abolishing the capitalist
system altogether, thus making
clean sweep of the commission men
and all the other vultures that
feed on them.

PROTEST TARIFF BILL

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 17-(UP)-
Four Minnesota agricultural orga-
nizations today issued combined
statement purporting to express
the views of 100000 farmers urg-
ing that the present tariff bill not
be passed by Congress until furth-
er alterations are made in its
schedules.
The organizations which signed
the protest were the Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation, the Cen
trail Cooperative Association, Land
O'Lakes Creameries, Inc, and the
Twin Cities Milk Producers Asso-
citation.
They demanded that tariff rates
on vegetable oils and fats, frozen
beef, poultry and other farm pro-
ducts be increased to "Give the
home market to the American
farmer to the full extent of his
ability to supply it."

The building has been practical

Aside from the scanty payroll
which even the most patriotic view
with alarm. Jamie must have been
discouraged over the way The
Producers News continued to cock
adoodle-doo all over Northeastern
Mntana as if the "Whistle" and
Jamie never existed. When the
Producers News lost the printing
contract it did not seek solace by
the waters of Jericho; neither did
it shed bitter tears meath the
Wailing Wall of the court house.
1t simply got rid of some surplus
fat, rested up a bit and then re-
sumed its favorite occupation of
serving the interests of the farm
ers and fighting for them.
While Jamie's whistle" crawled
and kowtowed until it gave the
population collective pain in the
belly, The Producers News con-
tinued to swing right and left at
class injustice wherever it showed
its head. We let the chips fall
where they may and our subscrip-
ton list proves that the people of
Sheridan county have enough CUTS
to like this kind of a paper.
Maybe we are a little too hard
on poor Jamie. Perhaps if he had
better advisors the story would be
different. Lawyer Onstad, Oscar
Collins, L. S. Olson and Burlev
Bowler are hardly the proper per-
sons to guide the feet of an inno-
cent country boy along the stralghr
and narrow path that everybody
must tread who expects to make
good in city with such a strict
ethical code as Plentywood. We
don't wish Jamie any bad luck and
we sincerely hope that his success
or will take lesson from his fail
ure and refrain from splitting out
libels on members of the comnu-

Special to The Producers News.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 15.--
Senator Norris now takes his

Marc Antony's oration over Cae-

seph Grundy who lost his fight 10

Burlesquing Mark Antony's ora
ton over the fallen Caesar, Sena-
tor Norris pictured Mr.. Grundy az
having failed in his efforts to per-
suade Congress to incorporate high
rates in the tariff bill becaue of
the opposition of the coalition.
The Senator introduced his Dra-
tion with remarks on an exhibit of
various articles of clothing and
toys, placed on a table in the rear
of the chamber and described by
the Senator as "Grundy's Main
Street Piggly- Wiggly Store" The
exhibit closely resembled the rem

marks as he held aloft first one
article and then another convulsed
