ROAD PLAN SOON
TO Be COMPLETED
SomerveII to Submit Recon-.
mendationS on Great Falls
Project to Congress.

Plans for the widening and straight
ening of Conduit road from the District
line to Great Falls will be laid before
Congress soon, in response to sugges-
tons by Maj. Brehon Somervell, district
engineer for the War Department for
the Washington area. Mai. Somervell
explained today that the law directs
that he shall prepare plans, survey,
an estimate of costs and the amount of
Federal participation in the project.
He expects to transmit his recommen-
dationS to Congress in about a month,
routing them through the chief of Army
engineers and the Secretary of War.
The survey has been completed, the
major said, and plans are nearing ter
mination, while about rs per cent of
the report is now written.
Single Road Proposed.
While plans of the District govern
ment contemplate a double roadway
with central parking over the conduit
that carries the Washington water sup
ply down from tn ePotomac River at
Great Falls to the Dalecarlia Reservoir,
Maj. Somervell pointed out that the
United States Engineer Office, of which
he is in charge, does. not propose E
double roadway from the District line
to Great Falls, as traffic diminishes as
it nears Great Falls.
Maj. Somervell made it clear that
this proposed widening of Conduit road
is not part of the contemplated George
Washington Memorial Parkway that is
planned to skirt the Potomac River
from Great Falls to Fort washington
on the Maryland side.
Traffic over the road that is bunt
upon the conduit is permitted by the
grace of the Federal Government, which
had the road constructed primarily in
order to get to the intakes of the con-
duit at Great Falls. The United States
Engineer ONCE has placed a limit of 6
tons gross on traffic permitted over the
conduit.
ID. C. Plans for Park in Center.
Under the plans of the District Gov
eminent, the strip of parking will be
placed directly over the conduit In the
middle OF the double roadway. This
will save the conduit from a large
amount of traffic vibration, in the opin-
ion of the engineers, and permit a
greater tonnage to travel over the dou.
BILE roadway.
Congress appropriated $4,000 for the
study that Is now nearing completion
in Maj. Somervell's office.
AS guide in reaching his recon-
mendatlons, Maj. Somervell had re-
quested the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission for an expression
OF opinion on this subject

1928. There is Mo denying that the big majorities pill
ed up are attributable in some measures to his good
work. However, he sacrificed ONE of his popularity
with the good citizens when he financed the notorious
Wheeler edition of the Producers Moose after declaring
that he would have no traffic whatever with Taylor
or the Moose.
Since that time Mr.. Schnitzler has been accused
of being the Moose financial hacker. The mysterious
sources from which the Moose gathered its funds and
the fact that it was sponsoring Schnitzler as a candi-
date for any and every state and federal office, lent
strength to the rumor.
And now he is being purified; his skirts are be-
ing washed of the odoriferous faint of Taylorism.
And why?
The answer in the public mind is that Schnitz-
Ter has declined to give aid or comfort to Taylors
blackmaiing sheet or his political aspirations; that he
has refused to throw any (more) money into the Tay-
lOr jackpot.
Whether or not there was or is any foundation
for the suspicion in the first place, it is fortunate for
both Senator Schnitzler and the Republican organiza-
ton in general that Taylor has turned loose on his for
mer friend, because no man can maintain the respect
of the public while being eulogized in the Moose.
The result Of Taylors right about-face is that
he has no one left to choose as a candidate for u. S
Senator but himself, which creates no excitement at
all.
Some are foolish enough to advance the opinion
tnat senator Walshs friends induced Taylor to run in
order to detract wet votes from Judge Galen. Others
have suggested that Judge Galen's friends are paying
Taylor to run SO as to take some farmerlabor votes
from Walsh.
Both ideas are absurd. Taylor couldn't take
votes from anybody. Neither farmers nor laborers
will vote for Taylor. Those opposed to prohibition
wouldn't vote for him because they know that Taylor
prefers bootlegging and high-jacking to any other
form Of liquor control.
Taylor is running for Office because he can't help
it. 1t has become a habit with him-just like telling
lies and publishing them.
But we are pleased that he has freed John
Schnitzler Of suspicion. 1t is a feather in Schnitzler's
hat that Taylor would pillory him. 1t was not unexpec-
ted.
We wonder how much Taylor tried to extract
from Schnitzler for the campaign. At any rate it is
refreshing to note that Schnitzler is too decent to
stand for blackmail.

Editorial In The
Herald Results
In a ReCOil

A recoil following the editorial
in last weeks Herald relative to
the possible political compiled
tions which might ensue if the
taxpayers association mixed in
to politics.
No sooner had copies of The Herald
been read before word came that
some intended to withdraw as candi-
dates from the Farmer-Labor ticket
Saturday Edgar /. Syveiud of Dag
mar called at The Herald office and
asked us to publish a letter of with
drawal and which is published below
We learned also that Martin HON
me the genial jeweler at Outlook re-
fuses to become embroiled in the po-
litical schemes of Taylor and his fol-
lowers and will not become a candi-
date for County Assessor.
These two men stood head and
shoulders above the balance of the
ticket and was really the only two
strong candidates they had, so that
now the ticket is SO weak that it will
fall Of itself.

Ter and racketeer.
And the people of all Northeastern
Montana are familiar with the fact
that he is the most notorious liar
that ever set foot in Sheridan county;
that his lies are intended to damage
character; to ruin lives if possible.
Taylor's charge of immortality
against the young people of this city
and county is just a word picture Of
his preference for them. His best
ial Righteousness is but the result of
a distorted brain and an over-fed, un-
der-exercised carcass which has more
than a physical resemblance to the
jackal.
1t is indeed regrettable that the
people of this city and this county
must remain on guard against the
trickery and treachery of Taylor and
his henchmen. While they remain
on guard there is no danger, for Tay-
lor and his crowd strike only in the
dark.

conditions in the county, have sunk
to some new low level since the ad-
ministration of the county was re-
tieved from such VIGOROUSLY moral
CD leaders as Rodney Salisbury,
Mig Collins, Ellen Johnson and Char
ley Taylor.
1t is rather strange that anyone
with sons and daughters living in
Plentywood and attending our schools
would brand all Of these young people
with the scarlet letter. 1t is still
more strange that a man, who bears
a greater resemblance to a beast and
who has fattened and languished on
money furnished to him by the few
underworld characters with which
Plentywood is afflicted, should be
the one to apply the brand of shame
to our boys and girls.
How He Has Helped
Let us see how this monstrosity
has helped to improve the morals of
our young people and strived to give
our boys and girls a clean and whole
some environment in Plentywood and
Sheridan County.
The editor Of the Producers Moose
for several years was the law and
the prophet in this county. During
his regime he was state senator from
this county and he had such men as
Rodney Salisbury as sheriff, Eng
Torstenson as treasurer, Johnny
McElroy as chief legal advisor, and
Mig Collins as boss racketeer to col
lect his toll and furnish the Produ-
GERS Moose editors with whisSey,
wine and women to flavor their many
conferences.
Bawdy houses flourished under
their protection. Gambling dives,
bootleg joints, white slavery, high
way robbery, murder, rape and ar
son were classed as respectable by
the editors Of the Producers Moose.
Store robberies, auto stealing, bank
robbing and a county treasury rob
berry featured that administration un-
til conditions in the county attracted
the attention of state officials and
even a United States senator felt the
need of taking the matter up with
the U. S. Department Of Justice.
These conditions featured the brief
reign of Charley Taylor in Sheridan
county.
The Present Situation
A couple of years ago, the people
swept Taylor's henchmen out Of Of
flee and broke his control. One
would think that Taylor himself
would have welcomed the change,
would have been glad to get away
from such sordidness, such counter
plotting and defiance Of state law and
the laws Of decency.
But how did he accept the verdict
OF the people?
Here is a sample.
] Mig Collins, who has never done

SO they are going to do q lot of tall hustling for A. C.
Erickson and elect him on stickers. You see the law
