RESOLUTION BY
CO. FARM UNION

A letter from X. A. HarbO, sec
rotary of the Roosevelt Co. Farm
ers Union says:
1.-THE inclosed resolution was a
dopted at the recent county con
vention of the Farmers Union il
Poplar and | was instructed to have
same published in all the county
papers in order that it might be
brought to the attention of ou1
entire membership"
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, we believe the pro-
excessively increasing tax burden
on the farm population of our state,
by reason of decreasing property
values, and increasing tax delin-
quency, and failure or inability of
those in power to materially reduce
the mounting cost of government,
calls for drastic political action on
the part of the voters, if the speedy
drift toward tenancy and a veritable
form of peasantry through tax re-
~coveries and mortgage foreclosures
on farm lands is to be checked, and
the agricultural population rehabil-
itated as an Independent home own
ing class, and,
WHEREAS, we further believe
any worth while tax reform pro-
gram requires a revision and re-
writing of the entire tax code of
the State, with a view to the abol-
ishment of the present negotiable
and archaic system and substitu-
ton therefor of new methods of
taxation designed to place the
burden upon those having the
means and ability to pay, many of
whom now r in large measure
evading their proportionate respon-
sibility.
NOW, THEREFORE,, Be it Re
solved by the delegates from the
various Locals of Roosevelt County
in County Farmers Union Conven-
ton assembled at Poplar, Montana,
on this 4th day of July, 1892, that
recommend for the considera-
ton of our membership the follow
ing program:
(a) A drastic revision of the gen.
eral property tax, with adequate
exemption upon the furnishings of
homes and tools of production.
(b) A graduated tax on income
Of individuals and corporations.
(c) Increased taxes, and more eff
ficient methods of taxing the so
called intangibles.
(d) An adequate tax upon hydro
electric power, and natural gas.
(e) License taxes on the pipe
lines, telephone and telegraph
and bus and truck transport
5ation lines.
G) A graduated license tax on
chain stores.
AND BE 1T FURTHER RESOL-
WE'D, that we urge upon our mem
Dership the importance of selecting
candidates for legislative and ex-
9cutive offices on the various tick
cts at the coming primary election,
to tax reform and reduct-
ion in governmental expenses by s
he adjustment of useless and un- 6
necessary departments, boards and !
commissions, and reorganization of i
he greater University of Montana, Z
ind other State institutions, to eff f
'ect necessary reductions in pres !
INT expenditures, and we further :
recommend a careful check of the
legislative REGARD of all candidates /,
seeking reelection. :

Believed Alaska Will Have
 To Borrow Funds For
 Unemployment R l i f

Reports from Washington
 this week say word has come
 to the Alaska Delegates office
 from Ketchikan and other
 sections of Alaska that the
 large amount of unemploy-
 ment in the Territory will
 make it necessary this fall and
 winter for Governor Parks to seek a portion of the $300,O00,-
 900 made available to the Re- construction Finance Corpor- ation for loans to the various needy states and territories for the relief of unemployment and destitution.
 Under the act authorizing such disposition of funds, if the resources of Alaska are inade- quate to meet its relief needs, the Governor is authorized to borrow from the Corporation such amounts as may be necessary at the rate of three per cent per annum. The funds funds thus borrowed would be administered by the Governor or under his direction.
 The suggestion has also been made that in the buying of SUD- plies needed for the unem- ployed a n d unfortunate a general price agreement be se- cured from the retail merch- ants and that the supplies be purchased in the communities in which they are dispensed, thus assisting both the needy and the business interests of the various communities, who in a majority of instances have already extended a large of credit to their un- employed patrons, with little or no prospect of early recom- pense.

Prospectors Leave For
 Interior By Airplane

Bound on a three weeks prospecting trip to the head waters of the Unuk River, a party of three Premier resid- ents headed by Thomas B. MacKay and including Harry Melville and William Prout, left Stewart Monday in an airplane of Canadian Airways Ltd, piloted by E. P. Wells, with J. w. Faulkner as air engineer.
 The party was landed on a lake situated at the head waters of the Unuk and about 75 miles north of Stewart, at which point the party will es- tablish camp and prospect the adjacent territory, which IS known to be highly miner- alized.
 The lake at which the party will camp has been named MacKay Lake after MT. Mac Kay, leader of the expedition.
 After landing the party, the plane made a second trip to the lake carrying approx imately 1500 pounds of pro- visions and other supplies. The trips from Stewart to the lake took about 1 1-2 hours each and the return trips about 40 minutes.
 The plane, a Super-Fok- ker, Wasp powered plane, came over from Burns Lake, B. C., via Smithers and Mez- iadin Lake and landed here at 12:30 Sunday afternoon after a ? 1-2 hour flight.
 Pilot Wells and Engineer Faulkner will return here about September 9 to bring the party out.

BRITAIN INVITES U. 5.
 ID DISCUSS SILVER

Great Britain, through her embassy in Washington, has in- vited the United States to at- tend a proposed monetary and economic conference, accord ing to recent reports from the national capital.
 The invitation said that the question of silver will be among the monetary matters to be discussed. The invitation specifically excludes discussion or separations, debts and tar if rates at the proposed par ley.
 Although evidently intended for the near future, no time or place for the conference was indicated in the invitation.
 The United States was also invited to name a member of the organizing committee at Geneva, which it was indicated is arranging for the conference.
 This country was also re- quested to name an economist and a financial expert to assist in drawing up the program.
 The state department has in- dicated willingness to accept such a conference invitation provided that debts and tariffs are not to be discussed.

Unemployed Situation
 B a d In Ste art

That unemployment condit- ions in Stewart have reached a stage where a considerable number of men are absolutely without food and hungry was disclosed last week when rep resentatives of the unemployed appeared before the Village Counsil asking that something be done to relieve the situation pending a settlement of the dis pute between the unemployed and the B. c. government, in which the former contend that it is impossible to live on the small sum offered by the gov ernment in return for short time labor.
 Messrs. John Ellis and Geo. Adams, the unemployed repre- sentatives, pointed out the lab- or dispute, combined with the recent closing down of the gov ernment relief camps had cre- ated a precarious situation. MT. Ellis cited one instance of a man who up to that time had had no food for two days and estimated that there were some twenty or twenty-five men in the town who were en- tirely without food or means to procure any.
 Following extended discuss ion of proposal by the unem- ployed to work 50 hours for the city at 50 cents per hour, the Council appropriated $25 for the purpose. It was decid- ed to employ the means at cleaning up the streets and brushing out a number of all- eys.

DISTRICT WELCOMES
 CANADIAN WARSH|P

The visit of H. M. c. s. Skeena, of the Canadian navy was an interesting event of the past week, to the residents of the district as we'll as to the ships personnel. To the Can adian residents of Stewart it was also of historical import ance, as it was the first visit of a Canadian warship.
 The vessel arrived Monday afternoon and remained until Thursday morning. As the vis- 1t was informal, no ceremon- ies marked the vessels stay beyond the rendering of the districts welcome by H. P. Gibson, chairman, of the Stew art Village Council, and a committee composed of the principal organizations of Stewart and Hyder.
 Tuesday afternoon the vis- itors were regaledwith a pro- gram of athletic sports in Stewart, followed by a dance in the North Star Hall in the evening for the officers and crew. The funstion was at- tended by a large gathering from both sides of the inter- national boundary and was most enjoyable entertainment.
 A sightseeing trip to Texas creek glacier for the sailors; an afternoon tea for the off, ficers at Premier, at which Mrs. Bert Smith was hostess, and visits of local residents to the warship, comprised the program.
 H.M.C.S. Skeena is a trim but powerful looking vessel of the torpedo destroyer type and carries a powerful arm ament. which includes eipht torpedo tubes; two high range anti-aircraft guns of the latest type; four long-range guns of AZ calibre, and two rapid fire guns. The vessel is fast; having displayed a speed of 36.3 knots (about 40 miles an hour) on trial trips about two years ago. She carries a crew of approximately 150 of- ficers and men and is under he command of Commander c. c. Jones, R. c. N., with Lieut.. Commander F. T. Houghton and Lieutenant H. N. Lay and Lieutenant K. F. Adams as his principal offic- erS.
 The Skeena was the third
 
 warship to visit the district during the past two years, the others being H. M. s. Des- patch of the British Navy and he U. s. s. Detroit. A fourth naval vessel, H. M. s. Delhi of the British Navy, is sched- lied to visit the district dur ng the latter days of the present month.

O.E.H|LL, I, VAL TIERS
 BELIEVED DROW NED

That Oren F. Hill, Hyaer postmaster and proprietor ot the Hyder Drug Company, and Thomas Walters, nephew of. F. R. Reichenback, of the Hyder Grocery, were drown ed Sunday afternoon in the icy waters of Portland Canal was generally conceded here "Wednesday with the finding of MT. Hills 16-foot out board motor sea-sled, '"Tonic, " partially submerged and bot tom up after an intensive two- day search of the Canal by American and Canadian mot orboats and naval vessels and an airplane from Ketchikan.
 The sea-sled, with only a foot or so of the hooded bow protruding from the water, was found early Wednesday afternoon drifting almost in the center of the Canal near what is known as Ford's Cove, about three miles south of Georgia River, by Louis Lewis, of Stewart, who in his own boat, with a number of local men on board, was assisting in searching for the missing men. When located by Lewis and his companions, the bow of the sea-sled was pointing up- ward at sharp angle, the stern being held down by the weight of the heavy engine in the stern, and apparently kept afloat only by the air com pressed under the hooded bow. On being hauled up or the Lewis boat, it was found that the oars continually car ried by MT. Hill were missing, as were also two of the four ife-preserver seat cushions with which the craft was equipped. MT. Hill habitually kept two of these free for en- ergencies, the other two being fastened to the seats. The lat ter were in their usual place but the others have not yet been found. A repeating shot gun taken by MT. Walters on the trip was also in the boat, the weapon having been caught and held in by the cov- ering over the bow.
 The engine throttle was found wide open, indicating that the boat was running at high speed at the time of be- ing submerged through what ever accident was encounter ed. The gasoline tank was also found to be virtually full. Aside from a few unimport- ant scratches, the craft bore no sign of damage.
 MT. Hill and Walters left Hyder about 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, intending to go down as far as Glacier Bay, taking along two sandwiches for lunch. The weather was excellent at the time, with scarcely a ripple on the water. How far they proceeded be- fore the accident occurred will probably never be known, as no one appears to have sight ed them after leaving the

curately, in measurements called
"decibel seconds" the precise in
tensity and duration Of the ap-
plause given respective speakers.
Mr.. Caldwell suggested the latter
device might well be used at the
political conventions "to save
much useless later balloting."
DECLARING that radio will de-
~ eide the election of the next
President of the United States,
the weekly radio program news
paper, Radio Guide, ranks Newton
D. Baker first and Herbert Hoover
last among the candidates for
their "air personality and ap-
peal" President Hoover is called
"a calm, almost colorless speaker
before the microphone, while
Newton Baker is described as "a
forceful, clever orator"
Counting 100 as perfect rat
ing, Radio Guide gives Baker an
average rating of 9212. Roosevelt
gets 84, Ritchie 7712, Al Smith
rs and Garner 7412. Each leads
I1OONCly wiz ID gwen O1AAJ - a.
Precisely how the rankings are
reached is not explained, but they
are further broken down by men,
women, urban and rural claSsifi-
cations.
Among men Bakers appeal is
rated as 90, which is the same
given Roosevelt; Smith gets 88,
Garner 85, Hoover 81 and Ritchie
72. Among women Baker again
is ranked first, with 90; Roosevelt
80. Ritchie 80, Smith rs, Garner
rs and Hoover 54. Among the
urban voters Smith is given SO,
Baker 90, Roosevelt and Ritchie
80 each, Hoover 73 and Garner "A.
Among the rural voters Garner is
given "a, Baker 90, Roosevelt 81,
Hoover and Ritchie 78 each and
Smith 40.
About Al Smith, Radio Guide
says that his denomination by the
Democrats will put them in the
same radio position as in 1928,
when it was frequently said his
pronunciation of "raddio" helped
defeat him. Perhaps there was
more to it than a joke" says this
periodical. "In the Midwest, in
the South, and, in fact, almost
anywhere except in New York
City, the voters fould it difficult
to digest Mr.. Smiths accent. 1t
was received with acclaim on the
sidewalks of New York-but on
Main street it was puzzling. Prob
ably Mr.. Smiths pronunciation
wasn't the factor that lost the
election. But politicians seriously
believe it had some effect on the
rural vote"

Behind the Microphone
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

York key stations of N. B. c., must
compose their problems by next
September /.
At present it looks as though
WBAL will relinquiSh its half time
to VITO as soon as it can secure
another assignment, and it will
endeavor to get that assignment
by purchasing and moving into
Baltimore a regional station. Just
what station it will be has not
been divulged.
Another interesting development
is the free-for-all scramble re-
sulting from the application of
KYW, Chicago, to move into Phil
adelphia in order to avoid the
persistent litigation that has re-
suited because its 1920 -kilocycle
clear channel was borrowed"
from the fourth zone of Middle
Western States. The proposed
removal, which would bring that
channel back to the second zone
embracing Pennsylvania, has been
set for a hearing before the COM
mission July 18.
TWO gadgets, which he describes
as being ideally suited for
political SpeakerS-one a voice
beautifier" that is supposed to
iron out the vocal roughnesSes"
of speakers whose voices are
otherwise ill-Suited to broadcast
ing, and the other an applause
meter" that records the intensity
of the applause any speaker re-
ceiveS-are the newest devices to
be introduced by o. H. Caldwell,
former Federal radio commits
Sioner and now editor of several
leading radio trade periodicals.
Mr.. Caldwell demonstrated both
devices during a recent Nation
wide broadcast. The voice beau
tifier," he explained, can give
charm and perSuaSiveneSS to any
speaker by means of compenSatorS
and filters that eliminate the OBJ
jectionable tones and emphasize
the desirable. BY feeding the va
rious outgoing lines through ap-
propriate compenSators, he ex-
planned, New Englanders might
hear a Yankee twang, Southern
erS a Dixie drawl and WesternerS
their customary breezy accent
all coming from the same speaker.
The applause-recording gadget
makes its possible to evaluate &C
