ASKOV DEBATE TEAM
BEATS NORTH BRANCH

The AskOv negative debate team
went to North Branch Wednesday eve
ming where it won two to one de-
cision against the affirmative team
representing that school, This was
the final debate in the district and
the winner of the district will enter
the regional debates. However, at
this time it is not certain who the
winner is until the votes in past de-
bates for each team are totaled If
Askov had won last night by a three
to nothing decision from North
Branch then without doubt that
team would be the winner of the dis
trict, but as it stands the vote of the
critic judge who officiated at the de-
bate between North Branch and Rush
City will have to be reviewed and if
it is found that his decision was in
the nature of unanimous vote for
North Branch then North Branch
wins the district championship and
will enter the regional contests which
are the same as semi-finals of the
state. On the other hand if the critic
Judge should have meant his vote to
be only two to one in favor of North
Branch, then AskOv and that team
will be tied.
In the latter case another debate
will be necessary between the two
schools with different teams taking
part.

Taxed But Can't Vote

Citizens of Washington, d. C., are
again complaining because they are not
permitted to vote, and inasmuch as they
pay taxes as other citizens do, there APP
pears to be justice in their complaint.
When the District of Columbia was or
gained in 1900 as the scat Of government,
it was placed directly under control of Con
gross ard no provision was made for the
exercise Of the franchise by its inhabitants,
a situation which has since continued. The
city Of Washington is governed by Cong
rrss solely and the people have no voice in
the selections Of officials placed over them.
Thus nearly 100000 persons Of vot-
ing age will have no part in the forthcom-
ing presidential election. in spite of the
fact that they are keenly interested in the
result.

CommunismEA Real Menacei

Just as had been predicted by the
brainiest political prophets for some time
past. the Communists of Sheridan county
are now out IN the open. They have, by a
nominating convention declared them
selves and placed a full set of candidates in
the field to fill the offices of our court house.
The ticket is headed by Charles E. TAYLOR
and Conins Laursen who will seek seats in
the Montana legislature; one need go no
further down the list to be assured that
Communism in Sheridan county is now a
grave reality No longer hidden behind the
cloak of the United Farmers League, the
proponents of Russian dictatorship have
unflung their banners to the world.
Nothing could have justified the exist
ence of the Taxpayers Economy League
more than the selection of a ticket by the
Communists. There is much about Sheridan
county that needs fixing" Taxpayers
freely recognize the need of readiustment
In order to lessen the burden Of taxes that
has become almost unbearable; they admit
that the most rigid economy must be prac-
ticed In every branch of the county gov
ernment-that in our county business we
must sacrifice if necessary. in order to cut
expcnses-just as we have been forced to
do In our private business; but these same
taxpayers do not believe that Communism
Is the way out; they are not ready to sub
scribe to a form of government that would
set up a Russian autocracy - that would
destroy the very foundations of American
unUnru~urf +I~t 1rx~- fl
the existence of God.
The Communists are exhorting their
workers to boycott the Primary cleo
tion-" By getting people to stay away from
the polls, they are hoping to show the
weakness of any candidates or party to APP
peal to the interest of the voter, and then
swing their support to the Communist tick
ct as a savior" of all our ills in the gener-
al election.
The most effective way to register
your protest against Communism is by the
use of the ballot at the Primary election
next Tuesday Align yourself with some
party; exercise your privilege as an Amer
lean citizen; express your faith in Ameri-
can government. BY staying away from the
polls ON election day. you merely become a
party to Communist propaganda.
The taxpayers Economy League is an
organization made up of both Republicans
and Democrats in Sheridan county to en-
courage the practice of rigid economy in
local government and to combat Commun-
ism BY supporting its ticket, you can be
assured OF a united effort against Commu-
nism in the fall election. If you were a del
egate to the convention of the Economy
League. get out a full vote in your precinct
on election day in support of the ticket, and
vindicate the work you have done.
Every vote Tuesday will be a protest
registered against Communism! Where do

FUTURE COTTON
PRICES ARE
STEADY

NEW YORK, May 81 GN.S).
Cotton futures today displayed
steadier tendencies, with the run
of contracts lowering around yes
terday's close.
Further selling came from
brokers who were credited with
acting for account of cotton mills.
This was mostly in October and
January. A slight increase in
hedge sales was noted. Commits
sion firms liquidated near months.
There was a fair amount of
trade buying, including buying
from Liverpool and the Conti-
nent. Shorts made covering pur-
chases from over the weekend.
A favorable report on the
Texas cotton crop was given by
the Dallas News in its weekly
statement, showing that a week
of mostly sunshine and warmest
weather of the season has been
beneficial to the progress of the
crop.
Noon prices were unchanged
to up 2 points, with July up 2 at
$50. October unchanged at 5.S6.
December unchanged at 500, and
