Economy is the slogan of the

word the mayor and the city dads

pomtment of Rookie as chief of po-
lice was an economy move that
will save the city $1,000 a year, be-
sides the saving of $240 per year
in the salary of the clerk. The
mayor and members of the council
are giving their services to the
public.
The new administration is being
complimented on every hand fol
these definite steps to actually cut
down the expenses of the city and
thus reduce taxes to a point where
the people can pay them. Many
taxpayers hope that the county
will shortly take the cue from the
city of Plentywood and proceed to
do likewise. The changed condi.
tons here due to the depression
and the changed farming condi
tions have made the services of 81
many police officers unnecessary.

DESIRE TO WIN LABOR SUPPORT
MAYPREYENT Big R. WAGE CUT

New York, May A. Although
railway heads are divided as 10
the feasibility of trying to reduce
wages, "the business week" pub
LEGATION says today there are four
factors which will tend to main
tain present levels.
"(1) The roads know that If
they open up the subject they viii
give the brotherhoods a chance to
present their already formulated
demand for shorter week or day
without decreased earnings, gener-
ally referred 10 as a six hour day.
"(2) The railroads are counting
on labor's support in their effort
to get through congress legislation
regulating truck and bus operation,
pipelines and waterways, and they
want to keep labor behind the east
ern trunkline merger.
