The citizens Of Butte got together,
created a cooperative association

for 20 cents a gallon.
Last year a community gas
committee did effective work here
in Billings and obtained a reduc-

line. For this service, they OBJ

Mr.. Bennett gave one Of the greatest
speeches Of his career, in which he de.
rounced Mr.. King, whose administra-
ton had blessed the Beauharnois
project. He thunderously challenged
any member of the House TO attack him
personally or any member OF any party
on campaign funds, and an investlga-
ton, judicial or otherwise, would be
undertaken.
"If any one wants this Beauharnois
project investigated further let him
raise his voice and It will be investi..
gated to its very bed" said Mr. Bennett
amid terrific applause from his followers:
Mr.. Bennett laid down the policies OF
his administration toward the Beau
harnois project, which meant 9 reor-
gaYlizatior1 of the Beauharnois companies

to finance the necessary S46,000,000 to
complete the work by october, 1882.

Municipal Assembly for legislation grant,
ing them the right to compete with
their big brother patrolmen in civil
service examination for promotion to
sergeant and the other higher ranks of
the Police Department.
AS the matter stands today they are
barred from taking the first test for
promotion to sergeant, because the
charter specifically states that only
first-grade patrolmen-those who have
completed o flve-year apprenticeship
are eligible.
While many Of the hard-boiled cops
smile at the idea, nevertheless, others
who are familiar with the persistent
tactics Of the women and their ability
TO keep things stirred up predict that
the Municipal Assembly eventually will
grant the request. even II 1t Is a Fes-

Policy Committee Meets, But

Legislative Agenda

The new Democratic policy
committee, organized to draft
a legislative program for the
new Congress, met for an hour
today without approving any
plans other than the perennial
demand for a reduction in gov
ernmental expenditures.
The committees deliberations
proved disappointment to those
who expected a definite legiSla-
tive program would be announced.
Aside from the agreement to
slash expenditures, the committee
decided that action on President
Hoover's one year moratorium
was mot subject matter for party
consideration" and then post
poned decisions on all controver-
sial issues.
Party Is Divided
Democratic leaders find some
division of opinion in their party
ranks over legislative needs. This
opinion follows:
TAXATION-Two theories con-
flict over the amount of revenue
to be raised, one group arguing
for a bond issue to meet por'
ton of the deficit; the other
would balance the budget by
higher taxes within two years.
There was general agreement
to oppose higher taxes on the
lowest brackets Of incomes and
against making the increase re-
troactive to affect 1881. There
was a division of opinion over
the Presidents recommendations
for selected sales taxes.
DEBT REVISION-There is al
most unanimous Democratic op-
position to any further debt len
iency toward Europe. The Demo
Gratis may support the plan to
permit debt payments III silver if
the world agrees to place silver
on a permanent monetary
standard.
Split on Job Relief
TARIFF-The Democrats gen.
orally demand a downward re-
vision but realize the futility of
trying to overcome a presidential
veto. They may support a law
providing for a slashing of rates
whenever q competing nation re-
duces like American tariffs.
! UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF
The Democrats are divided over
the question of direct relief ap-
preparations.
PROHIBITION - Eastern vets
demand a record vote in both
branches; Southern and Western
drys appoSe it.

PAY GUT PARLEY.
FOR RAILWAYS
PROBABLE
Joint C6nfab on Employment
and Wages Likely to Rest
With Southeast Chiefs

CHICAGO, Dec. Is QN.S.):
Acceptance of labor's invita-
ton to a joint conference on
wages and unemployment was
predicted today as Western
railroad executives assembled
in meeting here.
Although most of the carrier
heads were silent regarding their
intentions, it was reliably re-
ported they will follow the lead
of the Eastern executives, who
voted to accept labor's proposal
at a meeting in New York yes
terday.
Up to Southwest
The Western rail heads at TO-
days meeting also were expected
to name a committee Of repre-
sentatives to attend the joint
conference proposed by the 1900
leaders of the railroad unions.
If acceptance of labor'S invita-
ton is voted at today's session,
assurance that the proposed con-
ference will be held will rest
solely on the action of the, South
eastern railway executives, Sched-
uled to meet in New York Friday.
AS proposed by the labor heads,
the Joint conference. would be
empowered to negotiate to a
conclusion on the issues of wage
reductions. and unemployment.
It's decisions would bind both
the carriers and their 1,250,0o0
organized employees.
Precipitated BY Carriers
The carrier executives precipi-
tated the wage issue by suggest
ing recently that workers volun-
tarily accept a 10 per cent re-
duction.
Reports that Western rail ex-
ecutives may decide to demand a
Is per cent reduction in order
