DAVIS DEFENSE:

misunderstood"
Under cross-examination by AS
sistant United States Attorney
Louis M. Treadwell, Broening was
asked why the council waited for
two years to ratify the assign
ment. He answered:
II don't know why. 1 don't
believe it was necessary to
ratify."
The Government prosecutor
asked the witness if he had not
testified before the Grand Jury
that the supreme council had
ratified the assignment at Sharon
in 1880.
The witness answered that if
he had so testified, he must have
misunderstood the question.
Statement Repudiated
The testimony of Broening was
intended by the defense to coun-
ter evidence presented by the
Government.
This evidence of the proSecu-
ton was in the form of a pur-
ported report of the supreme
council read by Broening before
the 1881 Atlantic City Moose con-
vention.
Broening, from the platform,
said the supreme council ap-
proved the 1880 charity ball and
was looking forward to an equally
successful one in 1881. When
called by the defense, the former
Baltimore mayor repudiated this
statement as part of the supreme
council report. He testified the
reference to the charity balls was
made eXtemporaneouSly.
The witness testified he voted
with the supreme council in 1881,
when it passed a resolution to re-
pay to the organization depart
ment $125,000 loaned by Davis to
the council between 1907 and 1912.

HOOVER HELPS
MOVE WHEAT
To MARKET
rs Per Cent Payment on
Loans by U. S. Authorized
Until Congress ConveneS

President Hoover and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Hyde today
undertook a new move to as
sist the nations s wheat farmers
in getting their crop on the
market and at the same time
Strengthening out feed and seed
loans for which they are re-
SpOnsible.
The President directed the De
partment of Agriculture to accept
from such farmers Is per cent of
the amount due on their crop pro-
duction loans, together with an
agreement to secure the remain
ing IS per cent on whatever terms
Congress may authorize.
will Release Crop
Upon payment of this Is per
cent and execution of the agree
ment, no further payment will be
required until opportunity has
been given Congress to pass on
the question involved.
Two weeks ago Secretary Hyde
announced that to meet the needs
of those in distress the Govern
ment would not press for collec-
ton of any part of the loans un-
til after Congress had convened.
Since, however, it has been found
that in many localities this geS-
ture was not productive because
it was being held a claim re-
mained on the crop which pre-
vented the marketing of any part
of it.
A White House statement on
he question declared in part:
Present low prices make it
practically impossible for wheat
farmers to repay their crop pro-
ductiOn loans without incurring
grave risk Of need during the
winter.
WILL TAKE FOURTH
"In order to clear the situa.
ton up, after consultation with
authorities in the State con-
cerned, and in order to enable
such farmers to provide for
their families, the Secretary of
Agriculture, after consultation
with the President, has directed
the department to accept from
such farmers 25 per cent of
the amount due, together with
an agreement to secure the re-
naming IS per cent of such
debts on whatever terms Con-
greSS may authorize. Upon pay
nTent of such rs per cent and
execution of the agreement no
further payment will be re-
quired until opportunity has
been given Congress to pass on
the question involved"

Of WAR FOE

Navy Adams copy Of a dispatch
from Consul General Dawson at
Barcelona, Spain, with reference
to the death of Admiral Antonio
Eulate, the last surviving Spanish
commander of the battle of Santi-
ago De Cuba in 1893.
Dawson quoted translation of
a letter he received from Senorita

daughter, expressing the hope
that information regarding the
Admiral's death would be sent to

Admiral TCobley Evans, COM

Eulate commanded the Spanish
Battleship Vizcaya, and was per.
mitted to retain his sword after

that occasion Admiral Evans
said:
II shook hands with the
brave Spanish commander, and
refused % accept his Sward, au-
thorizlng him to keep it. My
decision was greeted with a pro-

Plentywood herald., 1932-11-24
(By G. B. Macmillan, Principal of
the Plentywood High Schoolb

In checking over the attendance
records of the Plentywood high
school some interesting information
is TO be found. Up to November 9th
# the present school term. there
were I58 cases of absence, making
an aggregate of approximately SOC
days. This expressed in percent, is
about 3 3-4 percent of the total.
Since the high school enrolment is
IT'S pupils, about 6.5 persons would
nave to be absent each school day
to bring the aggregate number of
days TO this large figure The at
tendance records also show that ex-
actly half of those enrolled have not
been absent so far this term. Thus
the 300 days of absence must be
charged to the remaining 80 pupils.
1t may also be interesting to note
the reasons for absence in many
cases. Out of the total 800 days. 9S
days, or about 1-3 was due to sick
ness; Il OF 164 day was for work at
home; 81 days was for work for !
friend or neighbor, with or without
pay; and 20 days because pupils
were out Of town to visit, make pur-
chases, or for other reasons. cirls
and boys contributed an amount OF
absence proportional to their num-
bers.
These figures are twice as large
as they should be- Instead of having
5 "a percent of our pupils absent
there should be not more than 2 per
cent absent. The 98 days for sick
ness should probably be in the neipn-
borhool of 60. There has been no en-
idemic of flu, measles mumps, nor
other disease so far this fall and il
is doubtful that there could be one

Tax Talk
BY Edgar /. Syverud
Secretary Treasurer Sheridan n
Taxpayers Association

| tContinued from last week.
WHY are taxes so HIGH.
/ Inc tax notices just released |,
many cases show that taxes an
higher this year than last. esperiaIl,
where there has been q fixed vain.
alton such as land Valuations i
personal property and improvements
have been reduced somewhat SO TIA,
tne total tax notice will show re-
ductlon. But the levies are higher
WHY? and WHERE7
La the face of all the agitation for
cutting costs and reducing taxes
why should there be an increase IN
stead of rednction7
In studying and analyzinp this
years taxes compared with those of
the past five years, and also taking
into consideration the times and con.
dltDns, and other circumstances. We
find the following facts.
The taxable valuation of our conn
ty has been reduced from the hirh
point two years ago of $6.47O. 900
down to $5,400,0OO for this wear.
The reduction is 81 ,OOO, 900 which
would. account for a raise Of one and
nne-fifth mills, approximately. Bur
this does not account for the biz
raise as some would like 10 make
out. There are other actual increases
higher levies.
Beginning at the top of our no
tlces we will see that the state taxes
have been increased one mill during
the past two years, due to that I'm
iversity millage tax referendum
Next we win see very radical
increase in the high school Ievies.
Formerly they were 5 mills now they
are IL mills, more than double. Last
year they were 8 "A mills Here we
have an actual increase of two and
half mills instead Of reduction
IN these distressing times, and ia
spite of all efforts to reduce them.
A favorable sign is seen I'M the
levy for General Fund, the real
county administration, where a re-
duction of mills has been made.
This years levy of 12 mills on our
lowered valuation would be the same
as 10 4-5 mills compared with the
13 and Ia mills Of few years ago.
The elimination of County Agent
would account for about one mill Of
this reduction
1t win be seen that there has been
no road levy the past two years, no
doubt due to economy agitation The
license money has had to take care
Of what maintenance was necessary.
The bridge levy has however, h1d
to be kept up due to extra heavy
damage done by houd-bUsts the
past two years.
