He contended the government
was losing $343,0O0,OO0 annually
in taxes on account of prohibition
and he added to this the 10000
600 spent annually in enforcement
of the dry law.
Concluding his argument, Tyd-
ings said:
"Judging from the standpoint of
drunkenness among adults or
among drivers Of automobiles, the
facts are against the merit of
prohibition.
"From the standpoint of deaths
from alcoholism, based on the fig
ures of the United States depart
ment of commerce and the Metro
politan Life Insurance company,
the figures are against the success
of prohibition.
'sBased upon the consumption of
alcoholic beverages, as evidenced
bv the increase in the grape crop,
in the corn sugar crop, and other
things from which beverages are
made the consumption of liquor
TODAY is at least as great if not
greater than before prohibition.
Costs More
"Based upon the amount of
money which we spend for it to-
dav as compared with the amount
of money we spent for liquor be-
fore prohibition, we are spending
more for our liquor today than we
snent for it in the days before
national prohibition was adopted.
Judging from the standpoint of
saving bank accounts, the increase
in savings per year was greater
before prohibition than it has
been since prohibition.
Judged from the standpoint Of
crime and corruption, there is no

Mack of New York exceeds him in

During the Democratic conven-

Kremer called the convention to

convention he was William G. Nc
Adoo's floor manager during the
famous deadlock fight between
Smith and McAdoo. He has al
ways occupied prominent positions
on important convention commit
tees and for years has been
western Democratic campaign
leader. In short, he is nationally
recognized as one of the big, if
not the biggest, western Demo

Walsh's strength is slipping in
Montana. When reminded of the
senior senator's $4,000 plurality
over the Republican senatorial can
didate six years ago, Frank Lin
dermann of Kalispell, they reply
that the G. o. p. aspirant was not
politically strong.
In the meantime, Republican
newspapers of Montana are throw.
ing occasional editorial shafts al
Walsh. One newspaper takes hin
to task for voting against the
sugar tariff and scornfully re-
marks that protection of Montana
principal industries would have
cost each consumer only 35 cents
a year. Another compliment
Walsh for his interest in nationa
affairs but suggests he devote
more attention to Montana's spe
cial problems. Still another jour
nalistic scribe asserts that dry rep
resentation in congress for a pal
pably wet state, is ridiculous.
AS far as Mr.. Kremer is con
cerned, he will probably be non
committal for weeks to come. But
if and when strong Walsh opposi
ton crops up, then and only ther
observers believe, will he step int
the ring and engage the senio
senator in political combat.

HENRY POLAND
KILLED In TEXAS

Word was received in Plenty
wood the first of this week of
the death of Henry M. Poland,
whose nude body with bullets
wounds in the heart and head was
found in the Pecos river near Fort
Stockton, Texas. The deceased
was one of the first settlers in
Northeastern Montana, having
resided in the Whitehall country
where he homesteaded for several
years. Before taking up a home
stead here in 1909, he operated a
pool hall at Crosby, N. D.
After several years of poor re-
turns from farming, Poland turn
ed to cards. Here, as in Fort
Worth, Texas, where he frequent
ed a recreation club, he was
known to carry large sums Of
money. He left Plentywood sew
eral years ago and returned on a
visit in 1928 and spent several
months here.
Killed for Coin
Texas authorities have express
ed belief robbery was the mo-
tive for his murder.

Pictures of a man taken from the
Pecos river near Imperial last Tu-
esday were definitely identified
today as H. M. Poland, who at
tended the cattlemen's convention
here two weeks ago, and said he
was fur buyer from Montana
Five persons who met Poland here
agreed upon the Identification.

was Poland's companion, said she
last saw him Saturday, March %

COUNTY TREASURER
REPORTS LARGE TAX
RETURN FOR PERIOD.
Property Owners Turn In
Over $780, 600 In Spite Of
Hard Times

According to County treasurer AL
bert HOLMAN, the tax payments made
for the last tax paying period, end
ing May 31st, amounted to more than
Sl36, 0O0.0O which must be considered
a mighty fine showing after u linn
tied crops of 1929.
Mr.. HOLMAN has completed the
work of the last tax period and is
now taking advantage of a privilege
which he denied himself in 1929, be-
ing a two weeks vacation. Each
County official is allowed a two weeks
vacation each year but last year, in
order to get all of the records OF the
Treasurer's office brought up to date,
Mr.. HOLMAN had to forego this plea
sure.
Instead of streaking it for some far
distant point for fishing Or camping
trip, Albert is going about the Coun-
ty becoming acquainted with the vo-
tiers and seeking reelection to which
he is justly entitled as it goes with
out saying that he has shown him
self to have conducted that office bet
ter than any previous treasurer. he

his records up to the minute at all
times.

Hail Is Reported
In Many Regions
Turnout County

A hail storm Of considerable area
visited Sheridan County Monday af-
ternoon, commencing about five miles
southwest Of Outlook and working
northeast for about ten or twelve
miles then following closely along
the 500 line, hail being reported as
much as five miles south Of that line
in some places. At Raymond and
northwest of there the hail was re-
ported to have been between two and
four inches in depth; at Dooley about
two inches and north of Westby about
one inch. A great deal of rain fell
with the hail which was very small
and outside of gardens did not do
much damage to the crops.
The moisture was very welcome.
Local showers have visited many
parts of the County the past few days,
but in the immediate vicinity and
south and east of Plentywod for 10
miles, rain is needed at this time.

Ballot; Out Only 26 Minutes

Wanda Hass accused of the muir

Outlook's most prominent farmers,
was acquitted Saturday afternoon by
a jury in the district court, who had
listened for almost a week to the ties

returned 26 minutes later with its
verdict after two ballots had been cast
for acquittal.
The demonstration which followed
the announcement of the verdict, de-
spite efforts of the bailiff's and the
sheriff and his deputies to maintain
order, was tumultuous to say the least.
Men cheered and yelled and women
leaped to the seats of chairs scream
ing with JOY. The cheers of the crowd
could be heard for two blocks away
as they poured out of the court room
after the verdict was returned. Judge
Paul sternly rebuked the audience
and threatened to lock them up for
contempt, and for a moment this
dampened their ardor only to break
out anew as soon as they were safely
outside.
This trial will go down in history
as one Of the most sordid affairs ever
presented to a jury in the West. The

There are three Republican can

Why? Because Erickson will

He will order Erickson to dis

Southside Farmers, CONNER

operate In travelling Bad
Stretch

The road from the top Of the Nc
Intosh hill to the outskirts of Plen-
tywood, which has been one of Ii
most troublesome and heavy roads to
Plentywood, is now being made into
our best piece Of highway in the Plen-
tywood vicinity.
The Welliver and southside farmers
decided they had had enough heavy
hauling an solicited the cooperation
of the County Commissioners and the
Plentywood Commercial Club, to
have this road graded up and the
crooked road up Mcintosh hill changed
and reduce the grade. This work is
now being done with most of the far
mers hauling gravel from the pit in
the edge of Plentywood, while other
farmers and some business men help
ing to unload the gravel trucks which
are delivering loads at the rate Of one
every four minutes. About 20 trucks
and teams are being employed for
moving gravel, and at the rate the
work is being rushed Wednesday af-
%ternoon, this bad stretch of road will
be a thing of the past, and a beau
tiful speedway in it's place by Thurs
day evening.
We noticed A w. March, candidate
for County Commissioner on the job,
working like a trojan unloading gra-
vel. We understand that several other
candidates for office have also put
in their shift or offered to do so.
