And SO the Company continues
to be the supergovernment of Mon

There are some excellent fighters

nounced as cranks and malcon-
tents. There is Dan Milestone.
of the Cut Bank Pioneer Press;
there is Sam w. Teagarden, of
the Denton Recorder, who makes a
great many people uncomfortable
and mad because he takes no stock
in either the Republican or Demo
cratic parties and refuses to bow
down before the Company. There
is a tremendously radical paper,

wood, also very courageous and
consistent in its attacks on the
Company; and finally there is the
Chinook Opinion of Harry Brooks.
Brooks and Milestone fought ad-
mirably for the tax reforms of
Governor Dixon, and so did a few
other weeklies. But in this field,
too, the Company knows what it
is about. There is a company at
Great Falls which prints patent
insides' for about eighty of the
Montana weeklies. 1t is very good
of its kind, carrying among other
things first-class historical mat
ter. But with it goes Company
propaganda Of a most insidious
kind, able and effective in contrsl-
ling public opinion. Even the In
dependents like this service be-
cause it is so we'll done.
Meanwhile the Company goes
ahead. It's newspapers continue
to boost all their friends and ig-
more their enemies, and they are
silent about all the really vital IS
sues. The good plain common peo-
pie and plucked and plucked, and

Here Is the List
There are 16 dailies in the
State, one of which also prints an
evening edition. Here too, we
have the Republican, Democratic
and independent journals. But
what do we find? A marvellous
example of the kindness, toiera-
ton, and true Americanism of the
Company. Realizing as it does
that this is a two-party govern
ment and that American citizens
are entitled to hear both sides of
every question, it generously runs
both Republican and Democratic
dailies. More than that, in the in
terest of efficiency and economy
it arranged some years ago in the
town Of Missoula that the same
man who wrote the Republican ed
itOrials in the morning should also
write the Democratic editorials in
the evening-its critics say with
the shadow Of the Company upon
them both. Ostensibly, of the 16
dailies, 6 are Democratic, A are
Republican, 5 independents epub-
lican, and 1 is Independent. Those
owned outright by the Company
are the Montana Standard and the
Daily Post of Butte; the Anaconda

Rykov Is Retained
AS Communist Chief

Moscow, July 14.-Alexel Ry-
kov, whose position not only as a
member of the powerful political
bureau of the communist party but
as premier Of Russia had been Sc
riously endangered by his activi-
ties in the right wing opposition,
surprised everybody Sunday by be-
ing reelected to the all-powerful
political bureau OF the communist
party. Thus his retention of the
post of head of the Russian cab

sured. The political bureau OF

Power Company will be called i'm
mediately to this public acknow-
ledgment that the company can
afford to reduce rates further.
The attention of the MOntana-Da-
kOta Company is invited to the
disastrous results that followed a
similar attempt on the part of an
other power company to do the
same thing at Britton, South Da-
kota recently.
Company Knows Better
Fourth: The claim is made
that the City of Plentywood might
have to pay several hundred
thousand dollars to the Montana
Dakota Power Company to take
over the existing system, and
reference is made to high tension
lines and booster power plant
equipment outside Of Plentywood,
but the power company know bet
ter than this, for Plentywood is
not the first town they have been
forced to leave. The fact is that
the City will pay only what the
franchise calls for, namely, Orig
inal Cost Plus Additions Less De
probation on the Physical Equip
ment within PlentywOod.' Moth
ing for earning power, and moth
ing for equipment outside of Plen-
tywood.
Fifth: The article makes GER
tain claims with reference to rate
reductions at Plentywood during
the years since 1926, and paid ad-
vertisements in the same issue
emphasizes these reductions. But
the residents of Plentywood of
course know all about the reduc-
tons made in the past. What the
people Of Plentywood are interest
ed in is obtaining fair rate for
future years, and the Montana
Dakota Power Company are care
full to make no written commit
ment on that subject.
Questions Competitors Ability
Sixth: The article referred to.
by inference, and previous articles
directly, questions the ability of
Fairbanks, Morse and Company to
sell its equipment under the con-
tract made in June with the CITY.
But Fairbanks, Morse & Company
have been in business more than
one hundred years and can be re-
lied upon to fulfill its obligations
and to keep every promise it
makes to the people of the CITY
of Plentywood. Until the Court of
last resort should hold the con-
tract in question invalid, which is
hardly even a remote possibility.
1t is perhaps much too early for
the Montana-Daloota Power Com
pany to deprive the cities of Mon
tana of the benefits of such con-
tracts, now being enjoyed in North
Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado,
Texas, Virginia, Ohio, Illinois,
Missouri, North Carolina, Indiana,
Utah, Minnesota and other states.
In conclusion, at the expense
OF repetition, it is suggested that
MI. hayes inaccuracies would APP
pear to have been Intentional and
to have been made fer the purpose
of confusing the true facts in the
minds of the people of Plenty
wood, just before election.
There will be no increase in
taxes over last year, and there
will be no debt incurred against
the city in any way.
"The whole fight has been
brought on by the refusal of the
Montana-Dakota Power Company
to grant to the City Of Plenty
wood as corporation and heavy
user of electrical energy the same
rates available 70 the private citi-
zens. The company insisted that
the city sign a contract made out
in company favor"

and trend in the design of general
purpose tractors and row crop power
farm implements.
Although the development of gen

has been going on for several years
past. within the last twelve months
all important manufacturers have re-
designed their tillage, planting and
harvesting equipment adapted to
general purpose tractors, and there
will be exhibited at the State FAR
as available during the coming year,
a far greater range Of implements
than ever before, designed along
new and in wany cases revolutionary

DEVELOPING A FATHER

A coed deal has been written about
the Importance to any growing boy of
having a father to train him in the way
that he should go and see that he devel-
ops properly. Not so much has been
said on an equally vital subject-the i'm
portance to a man of having q son.
For the truth is that the sons influ-
ence on the father is usually greater than
the fathers influence on the son. Ne
man, however educated, talented and cul-
tured he may be, is truly developed the
way nature intended until he has had
the companionship of at least one son.
Mr.. Solomon Levitan, state treasurer
of Wisconsin, pointed this cut very neat
ly in a speech made recently to a Wis
consin Father and Sons banquet
''Sons." he declared, ARE vital fac
tor in the development Of fathers. From
the moment a son rises on the horizon of
father. the fathers hopes and inter-
ests are transferred from himself to his
son, freeing him from self-centered am
bitions and giving him the JOY OF plan
ming for another's good.
"A man with son better understands
the problems of other men with sons, and
he is more sympathetic and understand
ing in his endeavors TO solve these prob
lens"
It is just as important for the father
as for the son, says Mr.. Levitan, that the
two develop as pals.
''The son" he says, should have the
benefit of his fathers wisdom gained
from the experience Of living, but the
father needs even more to gain a sympa-
thetic understanding Of his boys needs.
It keeps him from growing old and re-
news the enthusiasm of living
There is sound sense in ali of this. We
owe our sons more than we dream.
Haven't you ever seen some man, ordln-
arily brusque, thoughtless and somewhat
self-centered soften UP and become
pleasant kindly and thoughtful simply
because his son, all unconsciously, has
taken him in hand? OF course you have
It happens every day.
The man who hasn't had a son - or
who, having one, has failed to be real
father to hin-has missed something
priceless.

EASY RIDING OF
LINCOLN DUE TO
SEAT BUILDING

The easy riding qualities Of Lin
eoln cars can be attributed in part
TO the methods Of seat construction
used in the bodies. according to en-
gineers Of the Lincoln Motor Com
pany.
Use of the most resilient springs,
the finest eurled hair, the downiest
cotton and soft sponge rubber ali
combine 10 add TO the luxurious
comfort Of q Lincoln, guarding
against road shock and making rid
ing a pleasure. Every detail in the
design and construction Of body
upholstery and cushions has been
made to increase comfort.
Hour glass springs, which with
their long, free action help TO form
the s0ftest OF seats, are employed
because they adapt themselves TO
the weight Of tn rider. They are
considered ideal, too, because under
compression they act freely and
without Inference as the spir-
ais fold one within the other.
The finest of curled hair is en-
Imperial Valley press., 1930-08-02

ployed in the foundation of the
cushions because il is resilient and
resumes its shape and volume once
pressure is removed. Up 10 10
pounds Of this material is used in
the seating upholstery in every Lln-
coin body. For the pleats, Chinese
cotton is used because it is as light
as down vet strong and resilient
and retains its shape after pro-
longed use.
The arm rests on both the rear
seats and the auxiliary seats are
formed Of moulded sponge rubber,
which is soft but elastic and main
tains its original shape almost IN
definitely.
The auxiliary seats of Lincoln
cars have unusual easy riding quail
ities. Their cushions are also built
Of coiled springs and curled hair
and have cushioned backs, assuring
riders who choose them comfort
able ride. The method used in con
structing the auxiliary seats IS pc
culiar to the Lincoln car.
