years, this has been reduced to the
point where the city is now almost out
OF debt. The tax levy has also been
reduced Viewed from the important
angle OF cost and tax reduction, the
common remark heard on the street

ALL DIFFICULTIES
ARE SMOOTHED OUT,

The last troublesome matter that ha.
been holding up actual construction,
on the Libby-Troy highway has app
parently been smoothed out, Accord
ing to news dispatch from Helena
IN the Sunday daily press. This item
said:
Helena, March 19-An agreement
has been reached on a proposed Lib
by-Iroy forestry highway project route
and the contract may now be let. e
was learned here Saturday.
This project has been under con-
temptation for some time. First an.
allotment of 100000 was made ana
this was later supplemented to $l5O,-
0OO. There has been considerable de-
lay because of encroachment ON the
Great Northern right Of way. Finally.
these adjustments were made.
On contracts of this kind, there
must be an agreement on the part
OF three agencies, the forest service
the bureau of public roads and the
state highway commission. Because the
forest service has not been in full
agreement on the location, the three
agencies were unable to concur ON the
route. The forest service contended .
route on the north side Of the tracks
would be more serviceable. The bureau
of public roads and the highway COM
mission desired to locate the road
south Of the tracks. The forest serv-
ice now has withdrawn the objection
to the south side route and the
contract may be let at once

led by two other men, presumably

And gladstone days are few,
But Joy will come in the morning
And the strength Of my soul renew.

Only One School Trustee.

OF money expended each year by our

Mr.. Dexter is president of the school
board and a veteran in the service Of

Two important elections are sched-
uled at the end of the next 10 days.
On Saturday, April l, comes the an
nua school election, and on Monday,
April 3, the annual city election. These
elections are both highly Important.
They are important for these reasons.
The emphatic demand for tax re-
duction that is heard everywhere has
brought out the information that the
greatest reason for heavy taxation Is
the cost of local government 1t Is
maintained-and justly So that ma
tional and state governments do not
hit the individual taxpayer very heavy,
but that the expenses of city. coun-
ty and schools are responsible for the
greatest part Of the tax burden. Hence
it becomes plainly evident that people
of sound judgment and integrity
should be elected to these offices, if
the citizen is to expect reduction in
his taxes. Therefore. these elections
ought not to be allowed to pass by
without much interest A large vote
should be pelled, in every instance

WATERWAYS FUNDS
RansdeII Asks 1854 Millions
From U. S. Aid for River
Projects.

Speedy approval Of the proposal to
allocate 1864, 000, 900 out Of the public
works fund for the development Of
rivers and harbors and flood control
projects was urged today by former
Senator Joseph E. RAnsdell Of Louisi-
ana, former president Of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress.
Ransden pointed out that the $780,
000,00 fund set up by Congress was
primarily provided for the purpose of
giving jobs to the unemployed. He said
statistics compiled by the Army En-
gineers and the Federal Employment
Sterilization Board show that more
money spent on rivers and harbors and
food control projects goes directly and
indirectly into the hands Of labor than
on any other type Of public construc-
ton"
Therefore" he continued, ito carry
out the plain intent Of Congress the
Public Works Board and the President
should approve without hesitation the
request Of the chief of the Army En-
gineers. Maj. Gen. Lyle Brown, for
1864, 000,0 900, all of which is to be spent
on projects which already have been
authorized by Congress or recommended
by the Engineers.
Money and material now are cheap
and there are millions of unemployed.
No more suspicious time could be
chosen to develop our waterway systems,
which already have been approved by
Congress and which ultimately are to
be constructed.
Completion Of the waterways Is es-
sential to our national defense and is
justified on this ground alone Also,

Dertson announcing he was soon to re-
sign as Ambassador to Chile and return

years active duty on the faculty of the

1t Is hardly necessary for me to say
that university officials are delighted
over the prospect OF having DR.. Cul-
nertson with us again next Fall" Presi-
dent Nevis said.
From the very beginning OF the
school OF Foreign. Service in 1919 until
MS nrst appointment to the diplomatic
service IN 1925 as Minister to Rumania.
DR.. Culbertson had been a valued mem
Der OF the faculty. He was professor
OF tarins and treaties as well as a
member OF the executive faculty of the
school, When he left Washington. Dr..
Culbertson said he did not wish to re-
sign from the executive faculty, and in
the intervening years he had retained
this position and in many ways demon
strated his interest in the university
and cooperation in its affairs"
Honored by University.
In 1881 Georgetown University con-
ferred the degree of doctor of laws upon
Ambassador Culbertson.
DR.. Culbertson retired from active
law practice in 1915 to represent the

group Of industrial States might set

In q speech to be read at the In

Of Labor said:
"Such q group, vested with the power
to underwrite insurance In the States
participating, could administer one
fund with savings in overhead"
There are indications that such

On sound business lines. she said. She
suggested that New York, New Jersey,

lency" in a foreign country.
President Roosevelt. however, is go
ing slow on diplomatic appointments
and the changes in the heads Of the
foreign service missions will not be
completed before another year Three
or four appointments will be made
this month. The others will begin to
be made later in the Fall
The career diplomats will get q
break" In the Roosevelt administra-
ton. They are not goig to be fired, no
matter who appointed them, They
may get transferred, but this is con-
sidered fair, because they, like the OH
GERS in the Army and the Navy, are
accustomed to moving from one place
to another even if the new post is less
desirable than the old one.
Furthermore. there are . numher of
political appointees who are holding
positions in foreign countries where
there are certain negotiations begun
some time ago.
These chiefs Of missions will be main
tanned in their jobs, for few months
more, until these negotiations are
ended.
For certain less desirable posts in
Asia and South America, the President
has in mind to continue the promotion
system provided in the Rogers bill. and
appoint men who are diplomatic officers
in class one and have q good record,
making their appointment as ministers
desirable. These officers have been as
Q rule for q long time out Of the
country, and consequently have no &C.
tive political Affiliations. Whether
members Of their families are Republi-
cans or not will have no consequence
whatsoever in the promotion of q man
from counsellor Of embassy, or consul
general to the rank Of minister.

COAL men WORK
ON PAY SCHEDULES
Hope to Present Bituminous Code
to johnson During This
Week.

BY the Associated Press.
A group Of bituminous coal operators
and mine union leaders, agreed ON q
$5-a-day basic minimum wage to la
borers underground, went to work today
on their differences over various pay
schedules for men doing different
classes Of work.
They hoped to present their code Of
lair competition this week to the In
dustriAl Administration, thus permitting
the industry to begin operating soon
under q voluntary agreement to increase
purchasing power through higher pay
and more jobs.
Spokesman for both miners and pro-
ducers termed the difierential problem,
with its many complexities, the second
most difncult they have struck in franz
ing the agreement.
They have been unable to get to-
yether at all on maximum hours. The
union held out for 30-hour week. The
union suggests q 6-hour day. The oper-
ators say during the six months when
demand for coal Is greatest miners
should work I'VE days and during slack
seasons four.
George Harrington, president Of the
Illinois Coal Operators Association and
spokesman for the producers, and John
L. Lewis, president Of the United Mine
Workers Of America, said that despite
disagreement on maximum hours. they
would send the code to Hugh S. john
son, industrial administrator, as soon
As it was completed in all other respects.
Only one-third Of the bituminous
miners work on an hourly pay basis,
Lewis said. In explaining the differen-
tial problem. The other two-thirds are
paid by the ton. These and many other
factors must be considered In fixing
wage scales.
Operators and miners also have agreed
10 pay - day for common labor out
side the mines.
