President gave ample opportunity for
expression, SO then would have been
the time to speak up.
In regard to the other matters that
could have been" taken up we will
all agree that there were too many
for this one meeting, and it seemed
that the legislative measures were
the more important at that time. At
a later meeting we can finish up all
these ~left-overs- The Executive COM
mittee left it up to the Secretary to
call the next meeting whenever some
thing important comes up. 1t is felt
that n more good meeting is de-
sired before the spring work starts.
We have a cordial invitation to meet
at Medicine Lake next time but | be-
lieve we ought to meet at Plenty
wood in order to give the north dist
riot another chance to get in with US.
How would March 18th, 1:3O P. M. at
the courthouse in Plentywood be? If
there's nothing conflicting we will
meet then and thresh out and clean up
what's left now that legislative mat
ters r out of the way. And be pre-
pared to speak up, and help in do
ing something constructive.
Yours very truly,
Edgar /. Syverud
g .-Treas. Sheridan County Taxpay-
ers Association.

We have no available figures on the amount OF
taxes paid by these counties to the State of Montana,
but taking the 1929 figures Of the Montana Taxpayers
Association for the taxes collected in each of these
counties for County purposes, we find the following
lump sums: Phillips $255, 900; Sheridan $234,OO0; Val
ley $223,OOO; Roosevelt $l56,0O0 and Daniels 100000.
We pay 3 per cent of Montana's taxes from this County.
and the five counties combined pay 10 per cent of Mon
tanays taxes.
Check over these figures and consider the amount
of road and bridge work we get from State and Federal
Aid. We have every assurance that we will get our
proper share of road building in this county, and not
what is has been in the past, so we should have a whale
Of a lot of road work done here in the near future, and
not at our own expense, as we have a lot of such work
due US now, and if the referendum election is called, we
should be guided in our voting by what assurance we
get from our representatives and senator at Helena as
to what amount of road and bridge building we will re-
ceve in the event the election carries.

Dear Editor:
1t is very regrettable that we can-
not depend on the press to give the

port of our Antelope meeting in last

leading in some respects, insinua-

written to discredit our Association

According to this report the hint
is made that something was being

At the Movies
CAPITOL THEATRE

Enthusiasm and curses are present
In almost equal parts in Ann Hard
ing's attitude toward Devotion" the
picture In which she is now being
starred by RKO Pathe, and which is
coming to the Capitol Theatre on
Wednesday next.
The enthusiasm Is caused by the
story, which the blonde star heartily
approves. In fact, it was upon Miss
Harding's own urging that RKO
Pathe executives became interested
in "A Little Flat in the Temple
the novel by Pamela Wynne on
which it is based. The whimsical
comedy and Barriesque lightness OF
the story appealed 50 thoroughly to
Ann that she felt she could not be
happy until she had brought 1t to
the screen.
However, every rose has its prickly
addenda. The tl1ron In this case,
according to Miss Harding, Is the
fact that the picture was made in
the midst Of one Of California s
hottest spells Of unusual weather.
Since she represents q young girl
masquerading as a middle aged
nurse, to be near the man she loves,
Miss Harding was obliged to wear
heavy garments Of bombazine and
serge during q certain portion Of the
story. Her feet were encased In the
heaviest Of "Senible" brogues.

CALLS CONFERENCE
TO MAKE PLAN FOR
FARM PROTECTION
Government and land-Crant
Colleges to Outline New
Agrarian Policy

Chicago, Nov. 14.-Rl-After $50
years without formulated land po-
licy the United States abruptly faces
the need for program to protect the
economic and social values Of us
800 ,000, 900 acres in farms.
TO this end Secretary Hyde Of the
department. of agriculture and the
association Of land grant colleges ana
universities have called the first land
utilization conference in history into
session here Nov. 10 to q.
Never before has the national gov
ernment moved so broadly to regu-
Late the use Of public and private
domain. From colonial days it has
been assumed that all land was
used to produce food and fiber aud
that the sooner 1t could be put to
that purpose the better.
The conference is a frank refuta-
ton Of that theory, an open admis-
sion that too much land is being cul-
tivated and signal that farms not
paying the cost Of production must be
retired If relief for agriculture Is to
be effective. The conferences rec
concentrations are expected to form
the base Of state and national legis-
lation to remedy overproduction
maladjustment of crops. tax delin-
quency and farm abandonment.
Secretary Hyde says the way has
been pointed by certain OF the New
England and Great Lakes states.
Secretary Hyde says recent up
heavals In the supply and demand OF
farm products throw new light on the
need for land utilization.
On the demand side, displacement
Of work animals by power driven
machinery IS removing the need for
millions Of tons Of corn, oats and hay.
Changes In diet are lessening the de-
mand for some foods and increasing
the demand for others.
On the supply side, technical
changes are bringing great semi-arid
tracts into cultivation, not only IN
the United States but also In Russia,
Canada, Australia and Argentina.
Labor saving machinery Is promoting
the cultivation Of low-yield areas.
Production Is outrunning consump-
ton in much Of the world.
The fundamental need, Secretary
Hyde says, is for an inventory Of land
resources, an estimate of food and
fiber needs and an attempt to match
output against requirements.

conclusive proof" that japanese mill.

these purported preparations.
The arrested guardist. known as
Ushakov, had upon his person a let
ter from a Japanese military mission
addressed to Japanese military
agent in Manchuria named Weddo,
the account said.
Ushakov had described himself as a
member of the "Kharbine active
group Of A1nur Cossacks" controlled
by two white guardists named Kriu-
kanov and Belkov. An uprising. sup
posed to be engineered as an "eman-
cipation movement" was to have been
precipitated by bandit elements under
the direction Of guardists sent to
Tsitsihar and Hailar, the documents
carried by the arrested man were said
to have revealed.
The reported intrigue caused a SEN
sation here and official publication
of Ushakov's documents as soon as
the Peiping dispatches are confirmed
was awaited with interest.

MANDAN WILLING TO
PLAY EXTRA GAME

Mandan, N. D., Nov. 14.-(F-
Coach Leonard Mcmahon in answer
to challenge issued by Coach Doug
Smith Of the Devils Lake school Sat-
urday said he and members of his
team are willing to play the Lakers
some time next week.
Coach Mcmahon said he assumed
the proceeds from the game would go
to charity and added that Mandan.s
acceptance would be dependent upon
the approval Of the Mandan board of
education. Mcmahon had not COM
nlunicated with the Devils Lake coach
and said he would await word from
Smith.
Mandan school authorities are of
the opinion that the Sioux Land con-
ference system of scoring does not
necessarily bring the best team out
on top, and Mandan fans believe that
although the Braves ended up in
eighth place In the conference, the
team compares favorably with the
leaders and would like to see the
team play the Lakers to prove 1t.
