and many dead crabs and fish have
appeared there. Charles C. Phillips,
proprietor of the hotel at Oak Orch
ard wrote to Governor Buck about
the conditions, and the Governor
this week sent an engineer to look
over the situation.
The trouble is caused by shifting
sand being washed into the inlet and
adding to the bar there, which tenn
porarily closes the inlet.
The State Highway Department is
planning to clean out the inlet some
time during the summer to try to re-
store a free passage of water be-
tween Indian River and the ocean
at all times. The last Legislature
placed such State projects under the
Highway Department.

HOGS DON'T NEED MUD BATHS

There is a popular notion that
mud baths are necessary to happy
and contented hogs. Some farmers
even provide mudholes for their
porkers to wallow in. But the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry of the De-
partment of Agriculture says that
hogs can live without mud. What
is more, this bureau claims that your
piggies will be healthier and make
more wholesome food for human
consumers if they do not have to
live in mud and filth. Therefore, the
bureau favors clean, dry concrete
floors for pig pens.-The Pathfinder.

BANK CLEAR|NGS
IN D. C. DECREASE
Drop of $4,577,461 Revealed
in Monthly Report of
Association.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Bank clearings in Washington in
September totaled 500 ,291, 46962, in
comparison with SGT $50, 931 in Septem-
Der, 1880, a decrease Of $4,577, 461 SO,
according to the monthly report made
this noon by the washington Clearing
House Association. The decrease is,
however, much smaller proportionately
than in August, when clearings were
around $1,000, 900 lower than In the same
period in the previous year.
Bankers said today that there APP
peared to be quite an Improvement in
business conditions in Washington in
the past few days. The fact that local
clearingS made a better showing in Sep
TENDER than in August may prove
significant and mean a gain during the
rest Of the year washington banks
cleared $s9, 4s4, 7lo06 in checks in
August.
The records of the Clearing House
show that local clearings in the peak
year of 1929 totaled $l14,986, 938.61 and
in 1928 was $l13,117412.52, while in
1927 Cancelled checks in September
amounted to $1o4,579, 350.73 and in
1926 reached the sum of sos, SOB, 791.2 81.
Washington .clearings in the first nine
months of the present year totaled
1898, Asst, 444.79, against 1919 919 ,220.93
in the corresponding period a year ago.
The National Capital is no exception to
the rule of decreases. as practically
every city in the United States has
reported lower bank clearings than in
the like months last year.
For purposes of comparison local
clearings so far in 1881 are compared
with the corresponding months of 1880:

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 80. - Still
nervous and unsettled and recording
many new lows in industrials and utili-
ties, the stock market today was aided
by the outstanding strength in the
railroad shares in putting up a better
fight than on Tuesday against the food
of liquidation.
The market opened irregularly, rallied
in the first hour, met heavy selling and
reacted, and then before noon rallied
again and around midday was selling
higher on the session.
Rail Shares.
The railway shares were the main
stay OF the market. They held when
other stocks were declining, and in
the intervals of rallying they pushed
ahead rather aggressively The Street
heard a story that the principals in the
Eastern consolidation situation had
composed their differences and that
the merger plan would receive unani-
nous approval as amended. The re-
port persisted also that the Interstate
Commerce Commission would come to
the relief of the haraSsed carriers by
granting rate increase.

but all of the active rails participated
more or less, although Atlantic Coast
Line went into new low ground by a
fraction early in the day. New York
Central was bought on the theory that
1t would benefit from the negotiations
now in progress among the railway
executives, and Baltimore &. Ohio was

ton on the dividend Two to three

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, September 30.--Broker-
age houses agreed that yesterdays SELL
ing represented primarily real liquida-
ton. Guesses as to when bottom would
be reached were avoided. Action Of the
rails was viewed as encouraging.
Shields e. Co.--There is some belief
that the steady liquidation will termi-
nate with selling climax" However
with short selling unpopular. this may
be avoided, but without some new
powerful bullish stimulus, further drift
downward in the general list is to be
expected.
Charles D. Barney & Goa great
many people, according to our ooserva-
ton, are now in the position OF being
convinced that stocks generally are
close 70 bargain levels, but are afraid to
buy because of fear of some mysterious,
unknown catastrophe overhanging the
world and the market. A striking news
development, either good or pad, under
these circumstances could precipitate
buying movement OF substantial proper
tions.
Redmond g. Co-The market appears
to be working toward selling climax,
which should be followed by sharp
rally, but we still adhere to the opinion
that any rallies at this time can only
be regarded as technical.
Hornblower & Weeks-Because both
the industrials and utilities are in new
low ground, there Is no speculative way
OF estimating at what levels resistance
may be expected, and we would prefer
to continue on the sidelnes rather tnan
hazard a premature trading commit
ment.
Jackson Bros. Boesel g. Cove look
for the rail stocks to give the cue for
the tndustrials. There was quiet put

SPECIAL ELECTIONS

When Sam Teagarden, the senatOr-elect from
Fergus county, died, it left that county without
senator
When Representative-elect Simpson of Custer
county died it left that county shy representa-
tive.
The law does not allow the governor or anyone
Sslse to appoint a senator representative, but
requires that in case of a vacancy the governor
must issue writ of election, and a special cleo
ton must be held pronto to fill the vacancy
AS soon the legislature convened, and his
Excelency was officially notified of these vacan-
Gle, he issued the writs as the law requires.
The writs were sent to the Boards of County
Commissioners ordering the elections. But times
are hard and commissioners who have all sorts of
money 10 pay their fares to phOney commission
ers' conventions, did not have the money for the
special elections that are required by law. The
taxpayers associations of these counties went on
record against these elections because of COST and
because it seems that the law provides that the
registration books must be closed 40 days before
any election, that before the election could be
held, the session of the legislature would be about
over, making the election empty gesture thus
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1931-01-16

rendering useless the cost of the special elections
So the county commissioners in their regal au-
thOrity decided in these counties not TO call the
elections tho commanded by the governor to do so.
County Commissioners are powerful men-the law
or the constitution is as nothing to them; 1t is
thing they can set aside at their pleasure. No
wonder a commissioner swells up as he usually
does. A governor might get impeached, but
county commissioner, he is above all law
Now, we have not looked up the law, but it is
Jur guess that the law in regard to the closing
of the registration books pertains only to the gen
eral elections or primary elections provided by
law and not to special elections 10 fill vacancy
in the legislature provided for in the constitution.
This conclusion is logical and sensibe-the legls-
lature can make no law contravening the mandates
of the constitution; that is primary. So it would
seem that in case of write of election to fill
vacancy the commissioners only need to set a day
as soon as possible, advertise the same, post not
ices and proceed to count the votes, without re-
gard 30 registration books-alowing all to vote
whse names were properly registered before the
poll lists were sent out. The law provides for
nominating conventions in emergencies of this sort
In fact Sections $685. 534, 535, 5S6, of the revised
code provide for special elections, does several
other sections providing for nomination for spe-
cial elections. In fact it is obvious that the claims
that the registration books in case of special cleo
tons to fill vacancies in the legislature must be
closed As days is pure bunk.
And it is safe bet if the big interests wanted
these vacancies filled the elections would be called.
The cost of holding such special elections can be
reduced to the vanishing point; the ballots are
short, the voting and counting would be rapid and
the judges could act both as judges and clerks, so
the expense excuse is pretty lame.
Tom Stout has been appointed a sort of an
honorary SENATOR with privileges of the floor from
Fergus county. He can talk but not vote, but they
say Tom is good talker. He cannot draw any pay
in this position.
Over in Custer county they have just forgotten
about the representatives, Custer has so man!
that the loss of one is not noticed.

Frank French does not think much of newspa-

paper is mentioned Frank raises his brow with
contempt and sneers, and when a law stands be
tween him and his ideas, he sets the law aside
with the utmost assurance. Frank is "baby"
with a badly swelled head and an ego out OF all
alignment with facts Frank is one of those
"snart alec" just headed for trouble. We have

fering from the same ailment, that had bad luck.
