STECNER RULE
Stegner Fires Two Teachers
Because They VIII Not
Kowtow to Ignorance

At the last school election in
Plentywood some people rejoiced
over the great victory they had
won. With a great majority, the
people had told in no uncertain
terms that more Stegnerism was
just what they wanted, and Mr..
Stegner was hired for another
year by the school board as the
man they could depend on to see
that no advanced ideas would
sneak into the school.
People got what they voted for,
and after they got it they have
found out they got something they
did not want after all. In order
to show his authority, Mr.. Stegner
went to work and fired two teach
ers to start with. This has Great
ed quite a commotion in town.
These teachers were not fired be-
cause they are incompetent. The
way the talk goes, they are among
the most popular and best liked
teachers we have, and fired only
because they dared to have an
opinion of their own and had the
CUTS to stick up for it. They re-
belled against old fossilized ideas
and SteGnerism.
A teacher is not supposed to
have any advanced ideas, not sup
posed to have any ideas at all.
They must be submissive and
Obedient, and woe to the teacher
who dares to tell our children that
the conditions we are living under
are not perfect and could be i'm
proved upon. Keeping our child
rem ignorant of advanced and up
to-date ideas is what our schools
are for. Just why there is whole
sale starvation in this land Of
plenty is very carefully and sys-
tematically kept out of oul
schools.
| Here in Plentywood, strict rules
are laid down for the teachers be
havior. They are told when ant
where they can sleep, the propel
places for them to eat, and wha
kind Of people they can associat,
with, even what kind of clother
they can wear. Teachers hav
been here for years and are know
by and associate with only tn
exclusive few. They simply dom
dare to ningle with the children
parents for fear of being fired
And these parents know that thei
company is not wanted: they simI
ly stay out of sight. They don

losing their job. In that wa

OPEN LETTER CALLS ATTENTION
OF STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
TO some "1VDISPUTABLE FACTS

Isn't it an "indisputable fact"
that you have the right to reject
any or all bids when a contract is
let, and according to that right
you could give the contract to the
county bidding if you wanted to?
Isn't it an "indisputable fact"
that Sec. 1870 says: upon such
terms as the commission By its
rules and regulations prescribe, "
and. that you have the right to
prescribe these rules and regula-
tons if you wanted to?
Isn't it an "indisputable fact"
that our little Sec. 1890 could be
interpreted in favor of our starv-
ing people if you wanted to?
Isn't it an "indisputable fact
that you have the right to give
work TO convict labor, but claim
YOU have no right to give it to
starving farmers and workers, and
that this is as unfair as it can
be?
Isn't it an "indisputable fact
that you do not with one word In
dicate in your letter that you will
try and get these things rectified
by our next legislature, and that
you do not intend to do so?
Isn't it an "indisputable fact
that the State Highway work done
in Sheridan county was let, sublei
and sublet again, and that The
people who did the most expen
sive part of the work, the big fills
did it for about one-half of tn,
price per cubic yard for which tn,
whole contract was let in the frs
place. And, that Sheridan count!
could have done this work, done i
Just as good, paid good wages t,
people who needed it, and done tn
work for much less than it was lie
for to a contractor from Minneso
ia.

NEW LICENSE LAW
CHANGES IN FORCE
Utilities Board Straight
ening Out TaxiCab Prob
lens and Others.

The Public Utilities Commission spent
a long session yesterday dealing with
the new duties devolved upon it by
passage of comprehensive law, chang
ing the entire licensing system of the
District. The law was signed by Presi-
dent Hoover June 80.
One Of the features of the law is that
licenses to operate taXicabs must be
given only to the owners of the cabs
or to their agents. Thus it will be i'm
possible for "rent-a-cab" corporation
to do business as before, renting cabs
to drivers who operate them on their
own responsibility. The drivers must
now be the agents of the owners for
the purpose CT obtaining a license,
which will make the owners responsible
legally for any accidents attributable
to the drivers when in the regular
course of business.
Incidentally it developed during the
course of the discussion that there have
been no legally constituted taxicab
stands in the District since the signing
of the bill Before the bill became a
law, the stands were created by order
Of the District Commissioners, but the
new law puts the power to create them
into the hands of the joint board, con-
sisting of the Commissioners and the
Public Utilities Commission sitting to-
gether. An order will be issued today
continuing the old stands in existence
when the law went into effect.
The commission also devoted con-
siderable attention to the administra-
tion of the section setting up new
system of taxing busses, including in
terstate busseS operating over fixed
routes in the District. Hitherto tbs
interstate buses have escaped all local
taxation except for a S12-a-year fee.
The new tax, eight-tenths of l cent
per bus mile operated. is expected to
yield the District some 100000 new
revenue a year.
This tax is collected in advance, and
the problem of the exact amount to
be collected is complicated because
some of the companies operate on ir-
regular schedules. Average figures will
be compiled by the commission and the
concerns taxed on the basis Of these
averages.

AWAIT i. s. MOVE
IN SUIT BY WOOD
Architect Presents Case in
Demand for $4,000 on
RemodeIing Contract.

The next step in the breach of con-
tract suit filed by Waddy B. Wood
Washington architect, against the Gov
ernment in connection with abandon
ment of the project for remodeIing the
State, War and Navy Building was
awaited with interest today by the
Government officials
The plaintiff concluded presentation
Of his case yesterday before Commits
sioner Guilford S. Jameson Of the
United States Court of Claims at a
hearing at the Treasury Department.
The next regular proceeding would be

under his contract with the Treasury
which is in charge Of the building pro-
gram, that he was to receive per cent
of the cost of the remodeling job. He
said he had received $4,000 and that
100000 more is unpaid and now due
In series of letters to the Treasury.
he explained he had asked for an award
from the Government, but so far had
failed to receive such an award
William B. Spencer, chief estimator
for the Consolidated Engineering Co,
said he had estimated the State, War
and Navy remodeling job for Mr.. Wood
at figure of $2,9G2 ,538.

ATTORNEY BUYS TRACT
WHERE HOOVER FISHED
Camp in Catoctin Mountains Sold
by Richey, Secretary
to Hoover.

A part of the camp in the Catoctin
Mountains, nine miles from Frederick
Md, where President Hoover f1shed
for trout the first Summer of his term,
was sold Yesterday to Kingman Brew
ster. washington attorney, who pur-
chased the major part of the acreage
from its former owner, Lawrence
Richey. secretary to the President.
Confirmation of the reports of the
sale was given by Mr.. Richey today.
In doing So Mr. Rlchey explained that
what he disposed Of was part of his
tract that he never fished or used in
any way. He explained that he retained
the land of his original tract, on which
are constructed the lodge and other
camp buildings, and he still retains
about a mile and half of the fishing
stream.
The land sold to the attorney COM
prises 89l acres of tract of 1929 acres.
Trout are plentiful in the region
through which Little Hunting Creek, a
mountain stream, flows.
Mr.. Brewster, who is a keen sports
man, says the stream has been well
stocked with both souare-tail and rain
bow trout. He said he planned to
establish lodge in the mountains by
the stream ana use it as a retreat dur
ing the Summer AL Of the land is
covered with timber
In recent years the President has not
visited the camp, going to his own
preserve on the Rapidan in Virginia,
which he acquired soon after he oc-
cupied the White House The place,
however, has been an attraction for
many prominent officials who have
4ished in its stream.

DAIRY PRICE INQUIRY
TO GET EARLY STUDY
King Resolution to Be Considered
by Senate District Com
mittee Shortly.

The resolution introduced in the Sen
ate late yesterday by Senator King,
Democrat, of Utah, seeking an investi-
CATION of dairy product prices in Wash
lngton, probably will be considered by
the District Committee within a day or
so. The Senate will not act on the reso-
luton until it receives a report from
the committee.
The preamble of the resolution calls
attention to claims that price levels in
dairy commodities within the District
of Columbia indicate that competition
in trade in such commodities has be-
come stjfled therein. and that the cost
to the consumer of such commodities
exceeds the cost to the producer by
more than fair margin of profit to
the producer"
The resolution would authorize the
committee to inquire whether there are
any conditions which interfere with
competition in the sale Of milk, cream,
Ice cream or other dairy products.
Senator King who is the ranking
minority member of the District Com
mittee, suggested last night that the
study of dairy product prices could be
made in conjunction wit hthe investiga-
ton OF rents to be made by a subcom-
mittee OF the District group. The Utah
Senator said he expected to be in Wash
ington for several weeks after Congress
adjourns.

OF U. S. CLERK, 81
Youth, 19, Accused of Slashing
Victim With Razor and
Taking $63.

Cecil jenkins, 10, Of Tuscaloosa, Ala,
was being held by police today as the
youth who robbed Dudley T Hassan,

declaring he did not wish to harm the
elderly man, but only to obtain money
because he was tired of sleeping in
parks and being a bum"
Hassan was set upon Wednesday
night in his home at 1923 Quebec street
by youth who awakened him with a
tap at the door and then forced
entrance. In the scuf1e the house
holder was severely cut with razor
Detectives Van Doren Hughes and
Policeman H. A. Carper arrested
jenkins at Ninth and H streets and
later, the policemen said, their prisoner
then led them to the spot where he had
concealed the stolen money. Hassan
was said to have recognized his as
sailant as youth who had cut his
grass several months ago.

RELIEF IN DISTRICT
AVAILABLE AUG. |
Welfare Board to Build Up
Group to Administer
Emergency Fund.
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
ASKED IN MANY CASES
Director Wilson Declares All Ap-
peals for Aid Will Be Care
fully Investigated.

Distribution of the $3.50, 900 appro-
priated by Congress for emergency un-
employment relief in the District will
be started about August /, it was an
nounced today by George S. Wilson, di-
rector of the Board of Public welfare.
In the meantime, the board will build
up an organization to administer the
fund and map out rules and regulations
to govern its distribution. A tentative
draft OF the plans already has been
prepared by subcommittee, which will
be considered at a meeting of the full
board Tuesday
The emergency fund, carried in the
current District appropriation act, did
not become available until July l, but
the board has been advised already of a
large number of cases demanding i'm
mediate attention. The Associated
Charities alone notified Mr.. Wilson that
it is prepared to submit more than 500
cases. The Catholic Charities. Saliva
ton Army and other welfare and char
liable organizations likewise have in
formed the board of their intentions to
submit cases in need of immediate
relief.
Pleas to Be Investigated.
All Appeals for relief, Mr.. Wilson
pointed out, will be carefully investi-
gated to determine the worthiness of
the case. In serious cases recommend
ed for immediate relief by organized
charitable agencies, he said, an ar
rangement probably will be made to
grant funds to care for the needs of
the applicant pending a complete
check-up on the case.
Administration of the fund has con-
fronted the board with gigantic prob
lem and necessitated the organization of
special force to handle the unemploy-
ment relief cases. Some additional en-
ployes will be appointed but they will
be placed on temporary status, in view
of provision in the Federal economy
bill forbidding the appointment of new
employees on an annual basis without
the approval of the President.
$780, 900 Was Asked.
Moreover, the services Of the addi-
tlonal employees probably will not be
required for a year, as the anticipated
demands for relief are expected to ex-
haust the emergency fund long before
next July !.
To meet the needs of emergency re-
lief the Commissioners estimated $780,
600 would be required in the current
fiscal year. Congress, however, allowed
$3.50 900, but only when the Senate in
sisted on the full 100000 appropriation
after the House had refused TO appro-
pirate one cent. The S350,00 appropri-
ated represented a compromise.

ARMY BILL DEADLOCK
AROUSES OFFICIALS
Secretary Hurley and Gen. Mac.
Arthur Tell Senate Conferees
Financial Dilemma.

Failure Of Congress to enact a War
Department appropriation bill was dis
cussed yesterday by Secretary of War
Hurley and Senate conferees on the
measure
Hurley and Gen Douglas Macarthur,
Army chief Of staff, appeared after an
other session with the House conferees
had failed TO break the deadlock over
retirement of 1000 officers.
They said the department would have
great difficulty" continuing its river
and harbor functions without enact
ment of bill, but that it could con-
tinue to operate its military activities.
There is authority under present law,
they said, for the department to make
contracts for its military supplies which
could be paid from deficiency appro-
priation at the next session.
The Army appropriation bill is now
the only one of the annual supply meas
ures that has not been passed. The
House has insisted upon retirement of
1000 of the 10000 officers and the Sem
ate has refused to agree.
