BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Pres-
ident Hoover today announced ap-
pointment of five of the six mem
bers of the new tariff commission
upon which will fall the task of re-
vising the Hawley-Smoot act, under
the flexible provisions of that leg
islation.
The members are: Henry P
Fletcher (Pa), former diplomat
chairman, Republican; Thomas
Walker Page (Va.), former mem
Der of the commission, Democrat,
John Lee Coulter, Fargo, N. D., ma
tionally known economist, Repub-
lican; Alfred P. Dennis Md, pres
ent vice-chairman, Democrat, and
Edgar B. Brossard CUtah), chair
man of the old commission.
1t was explained that owing to ar
unexpected declination, the sixth
member of the commission would
not be named for ten days or two
weeks.
Nomination of Brossard may re-
suit in senate opposition to con-
firmation of the appointment, as In
his present post as chairman of the
old commission, Btossard has been
subject to frequent attacks from
Democrats and western Republicans
Benefit of Experience
The President said inclusion of
Brossard and Dennis from the old
commission assures the reorganized
commission of the benefit of their
experience and will provide con-
tinuity in the investigation of cost
of production which has been
under way since congress adjourned.
Fletcher, 81, is a diplomat of long
experience and also served as
underSecretary of state. His most
recent diplomatic post was ambas-
sador to Italy, which he resigned a
year ago.
Fletcher also was a member of
the Haitian commission appointed
by President Hoover which investi-
gated affairs in the island republic
a few months ago.
Page, 81, served previously on the
tariff commission from 1918 to
1922, being chairman during his
last two years. He is a recognized
authority on tariff, tax and f1nan-
cial matters.
Member Since 1928
Dennis, 81, has been a member of
the commission since 1925 He was
a special representative for the COM
merce department under MIR. Hoover
in central and eastern Europe in
1929.
Brossard, Il, was appointed to the
commission by President Coolidge in
1925. He had served for two years
previously as an economist for the
commission. He is a former college
professor.
Coulter, A, lists himself as q
progressive Republican" and was
included, it is thought, to give a
voice to the agricultural west on the
commission.
Most of his adult life has been
spent in investigating and teaching
rural economics subjects. Since 1921
he has been president of the North
Dakota Agricultural and Mechanics
college.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

The Sheridan County Library is
growing without a doubt. A survey
Of the circulation reports for the
month of November show that during
that month a total of 2097 books were
given out. This is an increase of 719
books over the circulation at that
time a year ago, when 1878 books were
checked.
That the number of users of the
library is increasing also, is shown
by the fact that 76 new borrowers
were added during the month of No
vember. The entire county is quite
we'll represented in this list, altho the
largest number, SO Of them, are from
Plentywood. The other approximate
one half rank as follows: from An
telope, T; Archer, l; Comertown, 9;
Dagmar, 6; Dooley, 2; Homestead,
2; Medicine Lake, /; Outlook, 5; Re-
serve, 2; Wanso, l; Westby, J..
We welcome these new borrowers,
and hope that they may find it pro-
fitable as well as pleasant to contin-
ue the use of the library.
Books are being mailed daily to
those who cannot come to the library
to make their own selections. A few
new books that are ready for circula-
ton are:
Observation-Disclosures Pie
My Best Story: an anthology Of
stories chosen by their own authors
Knox-The Best Detective Stories
of 1929.
Dunn-The Trough of the Wave.

pot Oil Company, so that their inter-
ests are all protected, and in the
event a commercial production of
either oil or gas is found here they
will be highly repaid for all the mon
ey and time they have invested here.
In fact, the Plentywood- Redstone
Holding Company and the other two
concerns which have worked so hard
here to develop this territory can all
consider themselves as having their
stock worth above par, and the same
thing applies to the other concerns.
After production is obtained such
stock will be worth many times par.
We understand the Plentywood-Red
stone Holding Company intends to
take the stock off the open market
as same is now placed at considerable
value above par.

OF clays have been tested out and are

the present vast distance from market
has barred any possible sale or use
of same. With the prospect of de-
veloping gas fields right here, there
are great possibilities of the estab-
lishment of many factories here
which would mean many additional
settlers and homes. It will mean the
increased possibilities Of selling much
OF our farm products locally and will
mean a large pay roll for this ter
ritory.

THE CHAMELEON

The Producers News is as ~changeable as
a chameleon.
Charles E. Taylor, its editor is likewise.
Two weeks ago he wept tears OF ang-
uish because people here dared advertise
over radio station KICK.
They admitted the advertising would
reach the public and the people would take
advantage of the advertising.
They said this money should be left in
P%lentywood instead of being spent else
where.
They also reviled Plentywoods busin-
ess men, its Commercial Club, its citizens;
in fact they sprayed the community with the
usual disagreeable odor.
The result was the loss of huge volumns
Of advertising for all future time to come.
They not only lost local business but
we happen to know they lost two of
their foreign advertisers direct, and also
some through local business connections.
Now, that organ comes out and says
that farmers have declared they will not
trade with people who do not advertise in
that 'farmer-owned' newspaper.
They still maintain it is cheaper to deal
with mail order houses.
However; they do not revile the mail
order houses for not advertising with them.
lhey are trying to employ blackmail tao
tics such as they did a few years ago. This
time Iaylor's foul and underhanded tactics
have been called by most of the business
people of P%lentywood.
They cannot be bluffed or blackmailed
into advertising in that paper.
The old familiar cry of farmer owned"
is once again being employed to try and be-
fiddle the farmers into believing that they
still have an equity in that newspaper.
Yes, BIZ farmers at one time owned
most Of the stock there, but they turned
over the assets to be managed by TAYLOR and
a few of his blind followers.
Today there are less than IS farmers in
Sheridan county who admit they hold stock
IN that scandal sheet. About SO others have
stock but they are ashamed to acknowledge
it.
The rest of the stockholders are non
residents of this county. Many are dead and
the Producers News stock is listed in the es-
tate assets as no value.
Why is it listed as of no valued"
Because the farmers who bought stock
IN that paper has lost every ~scintilla of eoui-
~ they ever had in the plant, through the
encouragement and poor business leader
snip of such bone-heads as TAYLOR.
With not less than five mortgages and
a r ederol lien, and hundreds and thousands
OF dollars in unpaid wages, these farmers
can never hope to realize one cent from that
investment.
1t the plant was to be sold under the
hammer today, it would not bring over one
fifth of its indebtedness.
The farmers do not own that newspaper
or the plant. 1t is owned by creditors who

Can StcP III any gay anu ldkc III oNCi anu pei
haps take a deficiency judgment for five t.
ten thousand against the Peoples Publish
ing Company.
The Producers News say they do no
stoop to tactics of obtaining money from tn,
advertisers in such ways as the P~lentywoo<
Herald.
They threw a cat fit over the Canfielc
Flying Service giving their advertising ex
clusively to The Herald. They now denounc,
they threw another fit because they were
not let in on the advertising.
They are out to blackmail everyone
who has the nerve to refuse to advertise with
that gang Of check artists.
However they are chameleons as ever,
and here is some ways that paper and it's ed
itor obtain money.
Sell $50, 5000 worth of green wall
paper in the shape of stock in the Pyradium
Remedies Company, par value, Taylor
honor.
Sell stock in the Producers News that
is not worth one cent on the dollar. Not
even good for wall paper.
Collected 10 per cent from the clerks
and deputies salary in the Court House
while the Producers News gang held absol-
ute sway.
Made a profit of $4,000 from the
County printing graft from June 1925 to
June 1927.
Deliberately defrauded Sheridan Coun-
ty out of more than $4,000 in taxes through
misrepresentation in turning in heir as
sessments; claiming they owned lots on
north Main street whereas they only held an
agreement or contract to obtain the Sheriff's
Deed.
Failed to pay the last half of the 1929
tax payment and all of the 1880 tax pay
ments, which amounts to over $4,000.
Then we have the old Sod Buster edi-
ion that brought in many thousands of dol
lar which has never been repaid.
The hundreds of thousands of dollars
paid in tor admission fees to the various
farmers organization which they have
started here from time to time.
The creation Of the American Temper
ance League, for which they obtained funds
tor subscriptions to a monthly magazine of
which we understand only one issue was
ever sent to the subscribers. They also rails
ed many thousands of dollars from the boot
leggers through this means, presumably to
help elect A. c. Townley in North Dakota.
laylor's private financing from Nels II.
Hanson.
The collection Of hush money from the
underworld.
On no, they are such nice clean cut bus
mess men that no matter what thev are
charged with they have the ability to change
colors like the chameleons.
OF course, Taylor has been the leader in
all OF the filthy mess, and is not charqeable
to the farmers who originally owned stock
IN the Producer News, but that stock is of
20 value now. To say that the farmers own
that paper is an absolute falsehood. The>
worthless stock in a paper so deeply in
debt that a new plant as good can be
Dough for less than half of the money.
Taylor is unable to get year around
suckers either as stock holders, subscribers,
or bonus payers. Shortly he will
have to get an all day sucker to comfort him
while he wends his way out of Sheridan
county where pickings to the tune of nearly
a halt of million dollars has been made d,y-
ing the past II or IA years.
