The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1931-01-02

County Attorney Blackwell was
there. Fred Morck was there, and
last but not least, l.. S. Olsen was
there. All were primed with ex-
plantations. What French could
not think of as an excuse, Niels
Madsen could, and then if it SEEM
ed they were cornered, Morck
would pipe in and tell of "what
he knew" Olsen did not get a
chance to put his oar in. 1t is
said that he was the UNLIMITED
guest" and that French told one
of the boys, that the less Olsen
said, the better, as no one took
any stock in him, he has been in
too many slippery deals, and was
just dam fool and nuisance who
always butted in and shot off, and
no one could stop him or get rid
of him; so it is reported he was
asked to keep his nose out and his
mouth shut.
ASK About IhmgS
The tax payers asked questions
and French tried to explain. First
the farmers wanted to know, why
the Examiners Report" was not
published as provided by law, anC
called attention to the fact that
the law requires it's publication
forthwith, and that it be incorpor-
ated in the next regular meeting
after its arrival, which was not
done. French replied that no law
could make Board publish or put
such things on record about them
selves, so they decided not to Ok
it, and protested to the public ex
aminer, and asked for a revised
report: that over in Roosevelt
county, Risley's report was revis
ed: that the report was damned
lie," etc. If, said a farmer, Their,
was nothing in the report but wha
you could explain, why was it no
published and explained instead o
being suppressed until after cleo
ton, and then not published unit
it was exposed in the Producer
News?
Damn the papers," said French
as all crooks always do when the,
are cornered.
Another man wanted to knew i
the Public Examiners department
has made revised report and sen
it in, and French, commencing nov
to sweat, said the Examiners ha
not.
When asked if the Examiner
; intended to, he said he did NO
think so. "Why," asked another
care they standing patti"
! Another farmers asked why
r the Examiners report was untru
, and not fit to print in Septembel
why had it been printed in Decen
Der, and if they were justified i
; holding the report off the Minute
, in October, why it had bee

: to know if conditions had changed
, French just oozed sweat out of hi
brow.
Niels Madsen piped up that tn
Commissioners had 80 days
which to publish the Minutes {
anything. He said this in spite {
the fact that he law says differ
emily.
