THE NEW SCHOOL
By HANS RASMUSSEN

Dy EAINO hAoMOSOEN
The school meeting at the fire hall Monday
evening was attended by couple dozen people
besides the school board
The need of a new school building was the topic
Of the evening. The sentiment of the crowd
present that a bond issue should be float
Cd and a new addition to the present brick build
ing should be constructed the summer of 1881
If the taxpayers should be willing 10 vote upon
themselves bond issue to the limitation of the
school district, some $4,000 would be available
for building purposes. If they also would be will
ing to vote upon themselves an extra Is mills for
building purposes, like we did last year, then
about $4,000 could be spent on a new building
in 1881
These questions aregoing to be voted on by the
taxpayers at an election, and will very likely be
explained in detail before that time With times
the way they are, and with people not being able
10 pay their present high taxes it is very doubtful
that the people of school district No. 20 will be
willing to vote additional taxes upon themselves
for many years to come
AS see it, there is only one way this election
can carry at the present time.
II the school board will issue a statement saw
ing that the work the new building shall he

y Use do not believe it will.
We have right here in brentwood plenty If
good people who can do that work, and do it bet
ter than good many of the imported ones. most
OF these people being half starved with no work in
sight.
Letting job by contract is not ALWAYS the
cheapest way Of doing work By hiring good
man to look after the work and do the lob nv the
day you are bound TO get better Job done and
IN most cases just as cheap. One advantage Of
TINS arrangement would be that the work could he
started right after election and very likely could
be completed before the fall school term opened
After the election it will take about 90 DAYS to
tloat the bond issue. A contractor would not start
the work until the bonds were fixed up. Day work
could be started right away after election, the
people working would get no money for a while
but they could eat by giving to the store keeper
an order on the school board, which would be paid
out of the bond money whenever available. In
that way the storekeeper would not need to fret
about the people who were doing the work sending

OFFICIAL WASHINGTON POWDERS
RECOGNITION OF SOVIET RUSSIA

Washington, March TO- Recog-
milton of Soviet Russia is an Off
cial question the Hoover admins
tration intends to answer for it
self.
For the past two years the Unit
ed States has followed a Russian
policy laid down by former admin
istrations. Secretary Stimson,, be-
heving there might be some need
for change, has decided to look
into the situation.
So, with an open mind and a
mass of background, he hopes to
formulate definite" official at
titude toward the government that
rules more land than any other.
Stimson will review the entire
problem of Russian affairs before
mapping any policy. Since he
took office he has been primarily
occupied with other European
countries, the far east and Latin
America. With no momentous
questions concerning these now a
waiting his attention, he will be
comparatively free to determine if
there should be a change toward
Russia.
AS enunciated eight years ago
by Charles Evans Hughes when
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1931-03-13

secretary of state, the American
policy has been that Russia must
settle its official and private OBJ
legations to the United States and
its citizens and cease its propa-
ganda activities intended to over
throw the American government.
Repudiate Russian obligations to
American citizens are estimated to
be near 400 million dollars, while
there also is in the balance a 1877
million dollar credit extended by
the United States to the provision
al government which followed the
car.
Recent agitation of embargoes
on Russian goods has been respon-
sible to some extent for Secretary
Stimson's decision.
The question of trade is not a
small one. In the Soviet's fiscal
year ended last October American
exports totaled las million dollars
and imports 80 million dollars or
% per cent more than ever before.
Most of this was handled thru
the Amtorg Trading corporation,
unofficial Soviet agency which
drew some criticism from a special
house committee after it's investi-
cation of communism.

SHAMEFUL CHAPTER OF
HISTORY CLOSES

Washington Two minutes be-
fore noon on March A, when Vice
President Curtis interrupted the
ADMINISTRATION filibuster conduct
ed by Sen. Thomas of Oklahoma
to propose that the senate agree
to the house joint resolution mo
tifying the president that congress
has completed the business of the
session, and asking if he has any
further communication to make y
Sen. Norris sprang instantly to his
feet.
"That resolution is debatable,
and I want to debate it," he said
firmly.
Curtis hastily withdrew the pro-
posal, and the session expired BY
rap of the gavel, without any
formal notification to the ashen-
gray and dyspeptic looking Hoov-
er, who waited among his few per-
sonal supporters in the anteroom.
Smiles wreathed the faces of the
progressives as the final minute
of the final session of the final
/ Hoover congress slipped past. 1t
was, they believed, the end of a
shameful chapter in the history of
the national legislature. When
congress next assemblies, the best
recommendation for leadership
will be a record of resistance TO
the harsh and vindictive little man
in the White House. Progressives
will hold the balance of power.

PLANE CARRIES SERUM IN THE FAR

Point Barrow, Alaska, March 9.
The airplane again is trium-
plant over the frozen northland
and its former mode of travel.
Pilot Joe Crossen and a quanti-
ty of antitoxin for this diphtheria
ravaged village arrived Sunday.
Pilot Crosson flew the life giving
serum from Fairbanks in 5 hours
and 20 minutes. Two months would
have been required for dog team
to make the journey.
The flight contrasted wildly
with the overland rush by dog
team with antitoxin from Fair
banks to diphtheria-scourged Nome
in 1925 when by relays it took the
mushers five and one half days to
cover 600 miles. At least six lives
were lost, many were stricken and
hundreds were threatened before
Gunnar Kasson pushed his team of
malemutes across Norton sound
and dropped half dead from ex-
haustionA his dogs overcome bv ia
tigue at Nome. Most of the relays
were made in temperatures Is de-
grees below zero.
Crosson flew to Wiseman, ITS
miles distant, refueled and headed
straight over the high Brooks
mountain chain and then across
out across the unpopulated, snow
swept wastes to this isolated spot.
The total distance is about 450
miles.
Five persons were suffering vir-
ulant attacks, several other cases
were less serious and only fourth
of the some 200 exposed residents
had been inoculated when the sup
ply of antitoxin was exhausted. A
strict quarantine is being observed

COMMITTEES ARE ANNOUNCED To
MAKE RELIEF LOANS TO FARMERS

Grand Forks, March g. De-
tailed instructions for obtaining
seed, feed or fuel loans from the
department of agriculture IN the
counties in the eligible areas of
the northwest district with head
quarters in Grand Forks have
been announced by Walter E. Ell
Tiff, administrative officer in
charge.
The necessary blanks for OBJ
tanning loans have been mailed to
all counties within the area, Eliff
said.
The major requirements of the
seed loan regulations are that the
farmer applicant has suffered crop
failure or severe loss during the
1880 season because of drouth or
storm; that he has no seed, feed
or fertilizer, no funds with which
to purchase any, no commercial
basis to offer as security for a
loan for this preparation; that he
has no other income than that de-
rived from his farming operations
and that in the absence of govern
ment aid he will be unable to farm
in 1881. If he cannot meet these
requirements it is useless for him
to apply for a loan.
The fact that a borrower has not
been able to pay in full his pre-
vious loans will not prevent him
from securing a new loan, provid-
ing he used the loan for the pur-
pose for which it was granted
that he made diligent effort to at
tend his crop properly and that he
applied the proceeds of all cash
crops to the payment of his fed
eral seed loan note. The unpaid
balance on previous loans must be
properly secured by a mortgage OF
the 1881 crop, according to in
structions.
In the preparation of the SEED
loan papers the following points
are among those to be adhered to
