LIBRARY NOTES

However business may be in 9TH
er fields of endeavOr it is good at
the library. While no statistics OF
a comparative nature are avail
able on the subject, it is generally
observed that the harder the times,
the more do adults make use of
their library. AS far as the
younger people are concerned, their
liberal use of the library in school
work and for pleasure is more
constant year in and year out. 1t
seems, however, that when people
have plenty of money to spend,
they indulge in their favorite lux
uries, and come back to their IL
brary for entertainment and pro-
fit when the pocketbOok IS not
buiging. Thus the library may
render its most extensive and val
liable service in a period of de-
preston such as we are now ex-
periencing.
Circulation reports from the
Sheridan County Library show a
total of Ills books given out dur
ing the month of May, exclusive Of
those given out from branches.
This is an increase of 800 over the
number given out during that same
month a year ago. Borrowers reg
istered since the first of the year
now number 984. These statistics
seem to indicate that the generali-
cation in regard to business con-
ditions and use of the library hold
true in our county.
We do, however. wish TO encour-
age children living outside of Plen-
tywood to make use of the library
during vacation months. This is a
splendid time 70 get better &C
quainted with the material avail
able at the library for pleasant
and profitable reading.
Application cards and books will
be mailed out to those who can not
visit the library. The library pre-
sents a real opportunity during the
vacation period and it is our hope
that we may make many new
friends during the months immedi.
ately ahead.

that they were levied illegally.
Many Plans Offered
While the mayor worries, the

Chicago" the interest on outstand-
ing bond issues mounts at the rate
of S1OOO,000 month and the in

Cook county defaulted on six
bond issues totaling $1,868, 400 un-
til seven banks came 10 the rescue.
Some s2O,OOO,OO0 in bonds are due
this year, with $SyOOO,OO0 which
must be paid by July 1.

question.
Worse Than Last Year
A summary of the situation re-
veals that the seven local govern

debt of almost $280,000, goo which
is 500 higher than last year when
citizens passed the hat to collect
SIS, 00O, 900 and thereby stave of
financial disaster.
In addition to the public debt
there are tax anticipation warrants
outstanding of 1921, 4O2,144.
Only 70 per cent of the 1925
taxes have been paid, $50 of the
1929 taxes and none of the 1886
or 1881 taxes.
Tax Warrants Sold
There are, however, $128,854, 67T

LET'S HAVE A NEW
GOVERNMENT
Dagmar. June Z, 1881.

Dagmar. June Z. 1881.
Editor of the Producers News:
/ see in your paper so many diff
ferent propositions to relieve the
agricultural as well as the industri-
al depression-the last one by
Frank Edwards of Helena.
Now for more than % years l
have had an idea that l could fix
it if the people would let it be done
the way l want it and it is quite
different from the rest of the pro-
posals.
In the first place, it is through
the government that it must be
done. 1t alone is responsible. And
being that our present govern
ment is unwilling to do it we would
have to elect new one and one
that will do the job. I
If you will elect Charles E. Tay-
lDr, Hans Rasmussen, Rodney Sal
isbury, And. Hansen and myself
to constitute a new government to
take charge of all governmental
functions of our great United
States and be willing to let US do
the job, l believe we would be able
to agree on how to do it. If Hoov-
er and the United States senate
and congress would do it. I'm will
ing to let them have the honor of
fixing it, but if not some one
should take hold and have it done.
Now about how it is to be done.
l have seen in the Producers
News where the County Commits
sioners or the county government
as we call it, whenever an emer-
gency exists, passes emergency
resolutions. So our first move
would be along that line. We
would get together and declare
that an emergency exists, the u
nited States is in a great industrial
as well as agricultural depression
A great many people are hungry
and starving, we have not the nee
essary clothing to keep them warm
nor homes for them to live in
(Which should be easy to fix wheT
we have such an overproduction.
In order to meet such an emer'
gency we would make a new tax
levy to be levied on all people whC
now have an assessed valuation OF
$4,000 or mora tax 10 be levied
on each and every one of them II
the amount of One Billion Dollars

Outlook, which was tried the lat
ter part Of alst week, the jury
found for Scott. The personal in

for three thousand dollars damages
for injuries sustained by Cloud in
the above accident, was set over

the plaintiff, being found respon-
sible for the accident in the car
damage case does not now feel that
he can make a case for damages
to himself. The jury in the car

Stage Nude Parade as a

Grand Forks, B. c., June T.
Seventy-one Sons of Freedom lived

fit of E. l.. Kidd, census enumer-

The Sons of Freedom is a radi-

was no suspicion of fraud in CON
nection with the vote, that no per
son entitled to vote was deprived
of his privilege, that there was no
question raised as to the fairness
of the election, of the propriety OF
the returns or the correctness Of
of the canvass.
REPEALS EVERYTHING
Language of the act, the court
says, is plain that if it sap
proved all other conflicting acts
are repealed. Thus it dispOses
of the contention that an addi-
tiOnal Scent gasoline tax Is or
ated.
People Voted ON Bond Issue Only
AS to the question whether the
act, by its language could not have
been submitted without a vote of
the people, the court points out
that the question of creation of a
debt in excess of 100000 must be
submitted to the voters and that
the measure was a law as soon as
it had been passed by the legisla-
ture and received approval of the
governor. The vote, the court says
was not upon the question Of
whether the act should become g
law but whether it should become
operative as 10 the matter of the
creation of a debt, the method Of
obtaining revenue TO retire the deb
