LEAVITT SHOWS
HO0VER'S AID
ON WATERWAY

COLUMBUS, Oct. 19.-Citing q
variety of reasons why he consid.
ers President Hoover should be re.
elected, Congressman Scott Leav.
lit told a saltwater county audi
ence here Wednesday night that
the presidents effective leadership
for construction of the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence waterway alone is
sufficient to justify the support of
those interested in Montana's fur
ther development.
AS an example of what the wa
terway will mean, Mr.. Leavitt said
that establishment of Duluth in
place of New York as our nearest
water outlet to eastern markets
will lift the price of Montana wheat
from 6 to 10 cents a bushel. 1t
was pointed out that the Montana
wheat CROP this year amounts to
approximately 60,00q,000 bushels,
and that corresponding savings in
freight charges will be registered
on other commodities sent to and
received from eastern centers.
No one has done as much as Mr..
Hoover in support of this project,
according to Mr.. Leavitt. He out
lined that for more than a decade
Mr.. Hoover has ardently advocated
the joint construction of this in
ternational waterway by the Unit
ed States and Canada. Concrete
negotiations looking toward the
deepening of the st. Lawrence and
the connecting links between the
Great Lakes to accommodate sea-
going vessels were begun eight
years ago when Mr.. Hoover, then
secretary of commerce, was placed
at the head of an American COM
mission to advance the movement.
Mr.. Leavitt said that with the
elevation of Mr.. Hoover to the pres
his interest continued, with
the result that last July a treaty :
providing for the joint undertaking :
was signed by the United States :
and Canada. To become effective, I.
it now awaits only ratification by :
the United States senate. and the !.
Canadian parliament. Mr.. Leavitt :
urged retaining Mr.. Hoover as the .
president to push the completion ;,
Of these negotiations, the adjust :.
nent of water-power and other is :
sues between the nation and the
states involved. Much opposition
o the St. Lawrence route has come
nom New York, seat of a move l
nent for a canal across that state u
connect the Great Lakes with y
he Atlantic ocean by way of the =
Hudson river rather than the more q
lorthern. shorter and less costly ~
In view OF the natural K
~ffiliation of the governor of New ="
york with the interests of his own ~
tate. and the long and active lead "
rship of the president in behalf -
f the western viewpoint, Mr..
.eavftt expressed the conviction
nat Montana's interest will be best De
erved by retaining Mr.. Hoover to lie
omplete the necessary negotia- pr
ons and get construction under 10
-ay. ne
Mr.. Leavitt is this week cam IN
in eight southern and pi
entral Montana counties in behalf
his reelection from the second
istrict. Next week he will swing Sc
ITO eastern Montana, and on Tues TIL
ay will deliver a radio address of

Scripps-Howard chain of newspa-
pers have come out for the New

tic candidate for president, have
declared themselves for Roose-

One and a Half
 Mill School Fund
New Haven Officials Dis= cussing Proper Use
 
 of Balance

They are having misunder- standing in New Haven over the use to be made of the unspent balance of the one and half mill school fund, some taking the ground that inasmuch as it was raised for school purposes it can not legally be applied to anything else. We'll, the Elm City officials are not the only ones not of one mind on that question. In some instances the balance was large. and while school boards were credited with being in possession of the funds 1t was spent by other departments.
 The law making it necessary to raise money in this will go out of existence at the end of this year. It is said that the unexpected balance of the one and Q half mill school tax in New Haven amounts to about $350,000.
