GLACIER PARK.-(U.P.) -Prepara-
tons for President Hoover's visit to
Montana were virtually complete here
this weekend as workers put the fin
ishing touches to the large Chalet
which will accommodate his party.
Although some have vouched a pol
itical aspect to the chief executive S
visit, it was generally known that Mr..
Hoover wished to avoid any possible
ENHANCEMENT in state political troubles.
1t was because of this desire to re-
tain immunity from censure that Col
orados national parks were scratched
from his itinerary.
One thing appears certain. The
president will not be greatly bothered
by the curious, whether they be poll
ticians or plutocrats. This will be ac-
complshed by a guarded barrlcade
where the road to Two Medicine camp
turns from the main highway.
The camp will be turned over to the
presidential party and outsiders will be
kept outside, according to the latest
plans to give the president complete
seelusion during his Today stay.
The summer White House-as the
chalet which has been prepared for the
Hoover's occupancy has been called
has four luxurious suits and is located
on the edge of Two Medicine lake.
Upper Two Medicine lake. a seven
mile jaunt from the Two Medicine
camp, has been held in reserve for the

SENATE WEIGHS
FARE BILL

The muddled situation which
has grown up around efforts to
establish o reduced street car
fare for children Is expected to
be considerably cleared up as q
result Of a hearing which the
Senate District Committee is
holding today.
The committee is considering
the substitute for the 2-cent fare
bill, drawn UP at its request by
the Public Utilities Commission.
Bill Past House
The 2-cent fare bill. sponsored
by John J. Noonan. Washington
capitalist, has passed the House,
but hope of getting it through
the Senate has been virtually
abandoned and the hearing GhiS
afternoon has up for discussion
draft Of a bill which would en1-
power and direct the utilities
commission to fix a reduced fare
for children.
While both street car com.
panies opposed the two cent fare
bill, as amended to include all
children. they have given q par
tial approval to the new measure.
The companies, however, are
represented as feleing that the
bill should simply empower, and
not direct the commission to re-
duce the fare for children.
Half Fare Obstacle
The principal item in contro-
versy on the new bill is a pro-
vision that the reduced fare
should not be more than one half
Of the current adult fare. It is
to this section that the commit
tee is giving principal attention
today.
It is planned, If the bill is ap-
proved by the committee, to at
tempt to rush it through in the
present short session.
