TAXPAYERS MAY HELP
PLAN COUNTY BUDGET

While public officials are elected
to spend the money contributed
in taxes under the county budget
law, every citizen is given an OPP
%portunity to help plan the ex-
penditures.
The county commissioners meet
as a budget making board at the
court house on August g., when
they will have completed a ten
tative budget or estimate of the
amount of money necessary TO OPP
crate the various departments and
activities of the county govern
ment for the coming year. AS the
money is raised by the levying of
taxes on all property within the
county, those who have to pay
the taxes have the right to look
over this budget and to make any
suggestions which they desire.
They may think a certain depart
ment is too extravagant or that
unnecessary help is being employ
ed or things undertaken which
are not necessary. The time to
help the county officers save the
tax dollars is when the budget
is being compiled.
The budget of last year, show
ing the expenditures for the fiscal
year, is available to those who
desire to examine it and compare
it with the tentative budget which
is being prepared for the coming
year. When the annual report is

the 55,441 lead Mrs. Miriam A;
Ma" Ferguson, former governor
of the state and wife Of a former

feated candidates to declare him
self. He announced he would sup
port Sterling. He polled 70,059

GOOD GRAIN BUT
PRICE VERY Low

Harvest is in full swing and
the elevators T receiving a con
siderable amount of grain. Infor-
nation received at the various ell.
evators indicate that winter wheat
is averaging about Is bushels and
spring wheat from 10 to 20 bush
els to the acre These figures are
of course approximate, for, where
fields the being combined the ex-
act yield per acre cannot be de-
termined until the entire field is
finished.
The protein is good this year
on the average. The highest test
reported is 17.10 for some of Char
ley Halls wheat. From there the
test ranges down to 11.50 with
the average for spring wheat about
Is or 16 and the winter wheat
ranging from IL to Is per cent.
Premium for protein is low, about
6 or 8 cents. This, they say is be-
cause on account of the extended
drought conditions, there is no
shortage of high protein wheat
this year and that Kansas and
Nebraska which usually produce
wheat low in protein, have a high
er percentage than usual this year.
The base price Thursday was 67
cents for No. / wheat. 1t had been
Sc cents, which was the lowest
since 1914.
Most Of the wheat is of good
color and spring wheat is weigh
ing up well, some 60 pounds and
some SIS or SO pounds to the
bushel. There is a big difference
in yield right in the same neigh
borhood. One farmer may have
Is bushels to the acre and his
neighbor right across the road
may have only 10 bushels. In this
same way two adjoining fields
may show a wide variance in pro-
tein content.
Some of the farmers whose
we have learned are Ole
Rose, about 10 bushels; Flo Yer
stegen, from IL to Is bushels; E.
J. Cody, II to 13 bushels.

FORMER PALS
GREET WALSH
VISITS WISCONSIN
SCHOOLMATES

Montana has claimed Thomas ]
Walsh for SO many years as one
OF it's most distinguished citizens
that little thought is given to the
period of his life before he came
to this state. Last Saturday at
Manitowoc, Wisconsin,, a memorial
shaft to John Nagel, educator and
newspaper man, was dedicated.
The principal address at the cere-
monies was made by Senator
Thomas j. Walsh, who was on his
way home from Washington, and
who had been a close friend of
John Nagel years ago.
Concerning his visit to Manito-
voc the Manitowoc Herald News
has the following story:
United States Senator Thomas
Walsh, of Montana, former Two
Rivers man, is not much worried
over his campaign for reelection.
He is confident that he will be re-
turned to the senate.
Senator Walsh, whose campaign
is focusing national attention at
present, here today intimated that
he believed that his state would
re-elect him and indicated that if
his services were no longer desir-
ed, it would not bother him much.
In an informal interview granted
representatives Of the press at
the Hotel Manitowoc this after
noon, Senator Walsh, a man who
has attained international recog-
milton for the manner in which
he saved millions Of dollars of
the national of the coun-
try, stated that he had heard that
his opponents not only were plan
ming to campaign against him by
naming a republican opponent but
by introducing a socialist platform
and slate candidates in the hope
of securing many of the liberal
votes.
1t Was "Tom" Walsh Today
But it wasn't Senator Thomas
Walsh, an outstanding figure of
the United States senate, who
came to Manitowoc today-it was
Tom Walsh, the ex-street lamp
lighter of Two Rivers and member
of the old Centennial ball club
at Two Rivers.
The senator admitted he could
not keep track of the scores of
the games as we'll as County
Judge John Chloupek who remind
ed the senator of the time when
the Two Rivers team had come to
M%anitowoc to be returned home

of the board of county commits
sioners for malfeasance in office.
In addition Homer A. Hoover,

ers have been given until August

ceedings should not be instituted.
Judge Frank Leiper was exonerat-
ed by the grand jury from charges
of dishonesty in Office.
Doubt Berry's Responsibility
The following finding was given
in the report according to an AS
socnated Press story sent out
Circle:
"The jury e~xonerated Judge Lei

office, circulated by Claude Berry
a printed bulletin. The jury
against prosecution of

Indy SAYS THUMBS
DOWN FRYING SHEETS

New York, July 26.-The cur
rent issue of Editor and Publisher
carries an interview by Marlen
Pew with Charles A. Lindbergh
in which the Colonel explains his
attitude toward newspapers.
"He draws the line strictly"
Pew writes, "between the right of
the press to report his activities
as they relate to the science Of
air travel and what he calls per-
sonal curiosity. He said he appre-
ciated the remarkable ~liberality of
the press in support of his work"
Colonel Lindbergh mentioned to
Pew the names of a number OF
newspapers with which he and
Mrs. Lindbergh had decided they
could not cooperate and maintain
their self-respect.
He said in the future he intend
ed to do all he could to keep aloof
from newspapers that "have no
serious purpose" He felt outraged
when some reporters followed him
on his honeymoon and "for eight
hours circled about our boat at
anchor in a New Zealand harbor
in a noisy motorboat." He consid-
cred it absurd that he should have
been forced to keep a guard at
the gate of his wife's home and
told of a reporter attempting to
bride a servant with $4,000 to "be-
tray family secrets"
Colonel Lindbergh," Pew writes
desires to be on friendly terms
with newspaper men who have a
serious purpose. He likes to give
his confidence to such men and
said that his confidence had not
been betrayed by them"

V0LSTEAD VIOLATIONS
MAY CANCEL LEASES

Any national violation of the
national prohibition law on the
part Of a renter can Immediately
cancel his lease even if there is
nothing in it to that effect, &C
cording to a survey of the law
from the property angle made by
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards. This provision is
in the Volstead act, the board
says.
Does the property owner have
to enforce the prohibition law?
asks the association. "Yes," says
it's general counsel. 1.-THE law ex-
poets the owner of the property
to know if a tenant makes moon
shine in his cellar or sells liquor
in his parlor, and the discretion
Of local courts may paddock pri-
vate dwellings even if the owner
did not know what was going on.
1.-THE law expects property own
r to watch over their holdings
so far as the Volstead act is con-
cerned. The act endeavors to help
owners in this situation by a
clause that is little known, under
which lessons are empowered to
compel forfeiture of leases when
this law is broken"
This survey of the real estate
association is of particular inter
est in Montana at this time as
the United States district attor-
ney's office recently authorized
the government to seize property
in an establishment where a VIC
lation of the law has taken place.
While the government has not in
past years exercised this right,
the district attorney recently de-
clared that such property would
be confiscated.
In any violation of the prohibit
ion law two actions can be taken.
A criminal action can be brought
the person guilty of the
violation on the basis that he com
a nuisance and a civil case
IAN be brought against the prop
srty itself. Whether one or both
If these actions is taken lies in
