Agitation is now on and has been
for some time to ask for reduc-
tion Of 200 in the salaries Of all the
officials, deputies, and clerks, not
only in the counties but also in the
state offices. In view of the notably
high salaries being paid in Montana
in comparison with other states this
should not be too much to ask. We
have lived under the false hope that
conditions would right themselves
so that we could afford to pay more,
but now it IS getting to be ques-
tion Of existence itself.
Some will contend that this re-
duction "can't be DONE, the offic-
ials and deputies salaries are fixed
by law-but, there Is no law com
pelling them to take or accept the
full amount. We are not saying that
they are less efficient than before
but we have not the ability to pay
this high scale. We must retrench
in order to keep going. We win need
cooperation and public spiritedness,
and at least a little .sportsmanship
in relieving the farmer of some of
the heavy tax burden which he has
SO faithfully carried in the past but
which is now adding the last straw
that break his back. With proper
approach and spirit of fairness
results could be had almost immed-
lately, and for the future the candi-
dates could incorporate these reduc-
tions in their pledges, as sort of
platform if need be.
With our county, the payroll, as
it is sometimes called, amounts to
some $4,000 per year a 2ODo redu-
ction would affect saving of at
least $4,000. This together with the
elimination Of two or three clerks
or deputies would easily bring a
saving Of $4,000 per year.
That's only dream, and i'm
practical" someone will say. But ON
investigation and in case of "have
to- as we are now in, it CAN be
done. 1t is admitted already by some
, officials that by little cooperation
between a few offices that at least
two clerks could be eliminated. II is
admitted that the law fixes the sal
aries Of the deputies but it does not
say that they must be had II is
within the power of the Board o1
Commissioners to allow what help
is necessary, clerk could be hirel
instead OF a deputy so that the
"fixed" salary could be avoided. The
Board could also demand closer co.
operation between the offices Ii
they wanted to use their authority

SEED LOANS and SEED SITUATION

We have noted for several weeks the
activities In neighboHing counties In North
Dakota with regard to securing seed for the
farmers, but In Sheridan County there
seems to be little concern Has the recent
political attack ON the county agent and the
feed loan committees discouraged further
help for our famers3
On inquiry of member of our county
commissioners we were informed that they
could do nothing and the county was in no
position at all to do anything However the
county agent has been retained for time
and will materially assist in this important
work by getting committee to handle the
loan applications, if they will act He is also
compiling an Exchange List to be issued
about March | st wherein those having seed
grains for sale may make their listines,
free, and in this way possibly great deal Of
seed can be located
1t Is believed that there is sufficient
supply of seed within the borders of the
county, and many individual farmers may
have already located their supplies. The
applications to be filled out are expected al
most any time now 50 that II ought not be
long until the loan money will be on hand
Announcements viii appear in the Herald
when the applications are to be had, and We
would be glad to be of service in any way
possible in this crisis.

TENNIS FOR LINKS
Won't Play With Davis Cup
Team, Takes Daily Golf
Lesson From Wife.

BY the Associated Press.
~ ARIS, April 13-The French
- amateur golf championship and
a few international titles now
are the ambitions of Rene La
coste, forced by i'll health to step out
of tennis play.
Lacoste revealed this recently when
Jean Borotra returned from his unsuc-
cessful defense, in New York, of his
American indOor title and announced
he was through with Davis Cup COM
petition.
The placid Lacoste thus was forced
into a statement, made in the presence
of his wife, the former Simone Thion
de la Chaume, Frances premier femi-
nine golfer
Il am not going to play in the chal-
lenge round said Rene. II have given
up tennis practice. I am concentrating
on golf. That is my only ambition"
Nine. de la Chaume Lacoste nodded
approval.
The eX-tennis champion plays a
daily round with his wife, who is show
ing him the fine points of the game.
He never took the game seriously until
after his marriage, a year ago.
He will again captain the French
Davis Cup team from the sidelines. In
the event that Borotra really intends
to retire, then Lacoste will name Mar
Gel Bernard to the team.

M club battle right down to the

The first days schedule sent the
Montreal Royals against the Reading

wings against Jersey City at Jersey
City, and the Toronto Maple Leafs
against the Newark Bears at Newark.
Unless the dope sheets" are inaccu-

DOCHESTER has won the champion

there are distinct indications that
the RedwingS face most formidable
challenge this year, especially from
Newark.

another strong combination at Roches-

from the Bears big-league parent" {"

stronger than year ago when Roches-

Hans Lobert, at Jersey City, and Clar-

clubs have serious weakness in the

~ of Jack Portney's irregular
4 l ring technique, Louis Jallos
Jimmy Bronson's good well
terweight, lost the bay leaves OF
victory to the rugged Baltimorean
last night at Portner'S Alexan-
dria Arena, in an eight-round
final bout before a houseful of
paying patrons.
1t was the least interesting of five
carded contests, all of which went the
distances allotted them with the eXcep-
ton of the second dish on the fistic
menu, when Young Van, very promising
local middleWeight, toppled his oppon-

tory since his initiation into Kingdom.
Fighting frankie Rice's welter-
weight, Portney, is a task for any
fighter, and JalloS, like most of the
East Baltimore boys rivals, found no
means of preventing Jacks short left
hook from registering. Portney, as
he fought last night would make
any fighter appear as patch on
your full-dreSS suit. Locking JalloS'
left hand under his right, Portney
whipsawed his left hand into the
Clevelander'S right side until it be-
came crimson with a lattice-effect
series of weltS.
But even in victory, Rice's smart
scrapper is not crowd pleaser. He
