3-HOUR FUTILE TALK KILLS
SEVERAL IMPORTANT
MATTERS

Washington. March 4.-The Ills
congress expired today. All abso
lutely essential legislation was com
pleted when President Hoover, in
the gilt-trimmed presidents room
off the senate chamber, signed the
last regular appropriation bill just
before noon.
Senator Elmer Thomas, democ-
rat, Oklahoma, held the senate floor
the last three hours before adjourn
ment. Seeking unsuccessfully to
bring to a vote the Nye resolution
for a thorough investigation of the
oil industry, he also killed the ma
ternity aid measure. the drastic
Jankins-Reed immigration bill, and
the Vestal bill for further protect
ion of authors interests.
So completely did he block all
business that the senate failed to
adopt the formal and customary
resolution notifying the waiting
president that the work of the wait
ing congress was done. He was
waving a tattered suit of overalls
from a drouth farmer in the air,
when Vice-president Charles Curtis
brought down his gavel.
"The hour of IL noon having ar
the senate is adjourned with
out d-l&y," he sad.

wells ended the last day. Fifteen

STATE TO TAKE
SPECIAL VOTE
{ / ECTION NECESSARY TO
VALIDITY OF HIGHWAY
GAS WARRANTS
BY William H. Loughrin

- AAoA IL. lOuS III
United Press Staff Correspondent
Helena. March 3-The people OF
Montana will go to the polls May
5 to determine the future of Mon
tana's highway program.
In accordance with the state SUI
preme court, which held that only
the people at the polls could auth
orize the creation of a debt in ex--
cess of 500, 900, the state legisla-
ture last week rushed through a
new highway debenture bill.
The measure, Incorporating the
provisions of the five-cent gaso-
line tax. provides for submission
to the people of the plan to issue
5000, 900 worth of anticipatory
warrants against future gasoline
tax collections.
While the cost of the election is
expected to approximate $4,000 0O,
that item, it was pointed out, is
insignificant beside the $1,000, 900
which the state will be able to OBJ
tain from the federal government
in event the measure is approved
by the people.
Unless Montana takes steps to
match the money allocated to this
state under the federal aid pro-
gram. the state stands a chance
OF losing the appropriations.
The debenture would be issued
at the rate of $780, 900 a year and
and would be retired by gasoline
tax collections which the new bill
extends to 1871.
Completion of the federal aid
trunk highway system in this state
be accomplished with the
funds during the increased pro
of the highway commission.
Three principal things will be
accomplished if the bill is approx
ed at the referendum election.
/. The highway department
be able to give employment
% about 1000 more men through
he letting of contracts to road
builders.
2. Farmers and those engaged
n moving farm produce would
ave better conditions to labor I'M
Ter; transportation of produce to
market would be expedited.
3. Completion OF the highway
ystem. giving easy access to all
'arts of the state, will be broad
asst throughout the country and
greater tourist travel through
Iontana's scenic wonderland would
esult.
The measure was passed by the
ouse, amended and passed by the
enate and referred back to the
ouse for concurrence. The sen
te amendment merely exempted
asoline for export purposes from
lie tax, a provision to which the
ouse readily agreed. Governor
rickson signed the bin March

BOTH HOUSES
SWING THE AK

Helena, Mar. 3-(UP)-The Mon
tana house of representatives late
Saturday refused to concur in the
senate reapportionment bill. thus
assuring some nine counties their
same representation in the 1893
Legislative session.
Under the bill. Phillips, Flat
head, Fergus, Carbon, Silver Bow
and Chouteau counties each would
have lost n representative,
while Lake, Cascade and Richland
would have gained one each.
Representative Moss of Flat
head county led the attack on the
measure and was supported by
Coonry, O'Connell, Merriman and
Finlan. The vote was SO to &c.
With The statement that the
house is Judge of it's own member
ship, Moss of Flathead county
successfully fought the measure
against Dellwo of Lake, minority
floor leader.
AS the house debated the senate
bill on reapportionment, offered
and passed in the upper house af-
ter the lower chamber had killed
a similar bill, the senate made
short work of the speedy divorce
bill.
The proposal would have per-
mitted divorce seekers to file suit
after 80 days residence and to OBJ
tain a divorce decree after living
in the state for ninety days.
The house failed to concur in
the senate bill which would have
permitted county boards to appoint
Legislators in the event of the death
of members. The bill resulted
from a situation which arose upon
the death OF senator-elect Sam Tea
garden of Fergus county.
Principal of the tasks still fac
ing the legislature is appropriation.
Slashes in all of the various bills
for the support or state depart
ments, except the university units,
were recommended by the senate
finance and claims committee.
Chairman Cowan of Hill announced
that his committe had tried to
bring the appropriations within the
estimated revenue, but that the bills
as cut we're s332,000 in excess Of
the income.
He revealed that the boards OF
examiners recommendations were
S62, 900 in excess of the estimated
revenues, while house appropria-
tons exceeded the income by I
s681 600 The committe Trim 1
mings totalled $~355.000. j

MAKING LOANS
ON BONUSCOMP
5000 OF POLICY VALUE MAY
BE BORROWED-LEGlON
HAS FORMS

The enactment of the Veterans
loan bill, increasing the borrow
ing limit on their adjusted com
"pensation certificates to so pei
cent of it's maturity face value and
decreasing the rate of interest on
loans to Az per cent. has been
completed and thousands of loans
have been handled by the Veter.
ans bureau.
An appeal has been issued from
the rehabilitation office of The
American Legion suggesting that
the ex-service man not in urgent
need of a loan delay his ap-
plication for a time in order that
the more needful applicants may
get earlier action.
Similarly the veterans whose
financial plight forces them to ap-
ply Immediately for relief should
do so and then refrain from fol-
lowing up the application with let
ters or kilograms, as these will
only result in slowing down the
work of getting out the relief.
The local Legion post now has
application forms and, in coopera-
ton with the Veterans bureau,
will be glad to help any ex-service
man, member or non-member, in
filing his application for a loan.
Applicants should see Ed Camrud,
commander, H. A. Inman, adjutant
n A. M. Foor service officer; and
De sure to bring their certificate.
There will be no change in the ex-f
sting procedure, and the same APP

MILLION BUSHELS
WHEAT SHIPPED

Since shipments Of the 1896
wheat crop started last summer,
the Great Northern has hauled out
of Wolf Point ~1,017,913 bushels.
There is in the elevators and seal
ed in bins on the farms, in the
tributary territory, at least 1000 600
bushels.
These figures prove the estimate
of the crop in the Wolf Point ter
ritory, 1,200,00 to be %conserva-
tive. Nothing has been heard of
any other shipping point that has
wheat shipment records to match
this so it is believed that our claim
to being the largest primary
wheat market is undisputed.
