FARMERS union
REFLECTS KELLY
TO PRESIDENCY
Two Views of Federal Aid
Expressed at Billings
Convention

For his fifth term as president
of the Montana Farmers Union,
y. T. Kelly of Castagne was elect
ed at the annual convention
which closed Saturday at Billings,
after three spirited days, featured
by sharp discussion of the wheat
allotment act, and efforts of the
Montana Farmers Holiday associ-
alton to swing the Montana union
into line with the national farm
strike that started Saturday.
An embargo on shipments of
wheat from Montana was de-
manded of Gov. F. H. Cooney by
a unanimous resolution at the
outset of the convention, for the
purpose of ~centering attention on
conditions among wheat growers,
rather than attempting to fore
IDLY bolster the price of grain"
John A. Simpson, president of
the national union, helped draft
the message to the governor, and
later addressed the assembly.
The farm aid act was attacked
|by Mr.. Simpson, who declared
that dirt farmers were denied a
hand in framing the bill, claim
ing it to be the work of the same
gang that prepared the economy
bill-Wall street." He ridiculed
the economists of the "brain
trust" and asserted that their
mathematical calculations relative
to the parity price and processing
tax were the "silliest" features of
the act.
He contended that farmers were
entitled to the same consideration
shown other classes, and demand
ed that they stand up for their
rights and ecure passage of leg
islation needed to stabilize the
price of their commodities.
He held present relief measures
"have been a great producer of
jobs. Why, when | went through
one regional office I was told it
had doubled and trebled in size
and the heads of all departments
| knew as busted bankers from
down in Oklahoma"
The speaker also attacked the
economy bill on the grounds IL had
saved $3,0OO,000,O 900 at the x
pense of "old Civil war veterans"
and "scrub women who keep the
capitol clean" so that mellon,
Morgan and Mills could saddle the
country with another $4,000, O0O,-
900 in interest charges"
"They started at the wrong
end" he cried. "The trouble is
not overproduction, it's under con-

DISTRICT
E FINAL CHECKS

Billings-(UP)- Sugar beet
growers of the Billings district
will receive a total of more thar
100000, October 25, as the final
payment on their 1882 crop, the
Great Western Sugar company
has announced.
This final payment will bring
the total received by growers fol-
the crop to $2,158,082.88 On the
basis of a 401,508 ton harvest, the
returns to growers averaged $3.50
a ton, or sc cents less per tor
than in the previous year.
The Billings district payment
will be a part of a total payment
of $732,834 to growers in Mon
tana, Wyoming, Colorado and Ne
braska.
Plans for limitation of sugar
production have been abandoned
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
Wallace has announced.
"It is proposed to put through
Immediately beet sugar and cane
sugar marketing codes as far as
may be feasible without the basic
quota agreement" Secretary Wal
lace announced.
The secretary's announcement
followed that in which he said nc
action would be taken at present
on the proposed basic sugar mar
keting agreement. One of the diff
ficulties of the proposed agree
ment, Wallace held, was that, in
his opinion, it would have tendeJ
to increase the present disparity
in agriculture's purchasing power
The agreement, it was said, ap-
peared to emphasize professors
interests rather than farmers in
come.

REINFORCEMENT
ORGANIZATION
IS NOT PROPER
County Group Formed With
Disregard to Provisions
OF Administration

That the Carbon county reem-
ployment board has not been or
gained in accordance with federal
regulations was made clear by a
letter received here this week by
j. P. Plunkett, chairman of the
county emergency relief commit
tee.
Provisions of the unemployment
administration specify that the
county unemployment board shall
consist of three men, one repre-
senting the contracting industry,
one who is a member of the Amer
lean Legion, and one who is a
business man. One of the three
committeeman, it is definitely
stated, must be a member of the
county relief committee.
Carbon county's unemployment
board was organized October 16,
at a meeting of Gus E. Berg, dis
trict unemployment director, with
John Normile and C. C. Bowler,
county commissioners. John Glib
son of Fromberg was selected as
the contractor, G. M. Downs Of
Red Lodge as the American Leg
ion committeeman, and Charles H,
Draper as the business man. G.
A. Nordstrom was appointed
manager of unemployment.
1t has been brought to the at
tention Of the relief committee
that none Of the three reemploy'
ment committeeman are members
of the relief group, and that OF
| the three positions on the reem-
ployment board, the only one
which could be filled by a relief
committeeman is that of the bust
ness man, there being no contrac.
tors or Legion men on the relief
committee.
The letter received here was a
copy of one written by T. G
Spaulding, state director of relief.
to Walter T. Bridges, assistant d.
rector of the national reemploy-
ment service. ut is insistent,
said Mr.. Spaulding, 'that there
he a complete enforcement of the
two agencies (the relief group
and the relief organization), the
only point of contact being the
| director of the relief as a member
of the state unemployment board.
and one member of the county re-
lief committee being on the coun.
ty unemployment board"

ROAD OVER THE HILL

The road from Red Lodge
through WashOe as far as
Bearcreek is in bad condition
for winter use, and if left in
the present condition, will be
ruined and impossible before
spring.
There has been considerable
relief labor employed on this
road, but the job was not fin
ished. A lot of men are en-
ployed at Washoe and Bear
creek who live and spend mon
ey in Red Lodge, and a lot of
people who live in Washoe and
Bearcreek who trade in Red
Lodge and enjoy the picture
shows here.
In fairness, both to the pub
lie and the business people of
Red Lodge, this road must be
taken care of. There is more
than $500 Of relief labor
now available to the county
and the city that can be used
on road work. Good crushed
gravel can be had at so cents
per yard and the county has
the trucks. Why not get busy?
For a small amount of money
this road can be made a boul-
evard.
AS long as Mr.. Charles HI.
Draper is running the business
of the county, we ought to sug-
gest this to him. But we offer
it as a suggestion to the coun-
ty commissioners, If they can
get permission from MIR. ORA
per to do this work.

Members of the council this
week were sounding out the reac-
ton of the Red Lodge citizens to
the proposition of the Montana
Power, placed before the council
last Wednesday by F. M. Kerr,
president and general manager of
the Montana Power, and Frank D.
Coleman, district manager.
They told the council that the
Montana Power company recently
had made the N. w. /. an offer,
and had secured an option for the
purchase of the local system. 1t
is not the intention of the M. P.
company, however, to come in
against any other plan of the city,
said Mr.. Kerr.
Early in his address to the
councillors, Mr.. Kerr said that if
the city would drop its plans for
a municipal system in favor of the
Montana Power company, that the
company could be depended upon
for satisfactory service. He said
that the system would be rebuilt
as soon as possible, and that the
company would institute the reg
ular rates now in effect in other
towns of the state.
Rates to the city for street
lighting were offered for compar-
ison with the rates now being
paid. For the last fiscal year,
street lighting cost the city 3d.
1864, with an additional $837.50
for the ornamental cluster lights
on Broadway avenue. Mr.. Kerr
estimated that the Montana Pow
err could give street lighting SER
vice for $943.92, and the Broad
way lights for $4,000 ($640 if
higher wattage lamps were used
than those that now glow along
Broadway. Domestic and COM
mercial rates of the Montana
Power, it was pointed out, are in
general slightly lower than those
now in force by the N. w. /.
He mentioned the fact that cleo
trical specialists of the company
seek to prevent radio disturb
ances arising from the power sys-
TENS in towns served by the M. P.
In reconstruction and modern
izing of the local system, some
outside workers, technically skilled
in electrical construction would be
needed. AS for present employees
of the N. w. |. in Red Lodge, Mr..
Kerr said that his company would
help them in necessary adjust
ments with state unions should
they enter the employ of the Mon
tana Power. at is the policy of
the company to retain local men as
much as possible for service in
the towns we take over" re-
marked Mr.. Coleman.
Maintenance of the system
would be handled by the company,
charged for at a fair rate, or the
system could be maintained by the
city's employees. Maintenance of a
system in Red Lodge would re-
quire four or five employees, Mr..
Kerr said.

CREWS

WORK NEAR HERE
Winter Camp Established
For Relief Workers
On West Fork

Two logging crews will work
from winter quarters at Camp
Nelson on the West Fork this
winter, continuing the logging OPP
erations that were carried on in
that region last year, said R. E.
Fields, assistant supervisor of the
Custer forest, outlining forestry
projects for the coming months.
Nc G.. G. G. workers will be en-
gagged in the Beartooths this VIM
ter he said, but men on the emery
ency relief lists will be stationed
at the West Fork camp, and per-
haps at the recently vacated Main
Fork camp. Two frame buildings
at Camp Nelson will be used as
the winter quarters.
Fifteen men, under Foreman
John B%ergstrand, will work in the
vicinity of Camp Nelson, cutting
pine and fir timber. The poles
will be skidded down to the treat
ing station just above the Rock
Greek ranger station for process
ing. At the treating station a
crew of eight or 10 men, under
Sam Thorpe, will handle the out
put of timber from up the creek.
The timber will be trimmed,
peeled and stacked, and the treat
ing will be started as early as
possible next spring. Fifteen
thousand fence posts, 600 tele-
phone poles, 900 "stubs" and a
quantity of corral poles will be
produced, mostly for use in the
Pryor region.
A relief crew recently finished
work on fences on Line creek, and
the road up Line creek from
Chance. Mr.. Field said that eight
men now are working on Red
Lodge creek, on the telephone line
between Red Lodge creek and the
MacKay ranch. From Columbus a
crew is working on the Saltwater,
improving campsites.
If funds are available for the
purpose, Is men will be stationed
at the forestry camp on the Main
Fork, II miles south Of Red Lodge,
to dispose of brush and slash Gre
ated by construction workers dur
ing the summer. Weather condi-
tions created too great a fire haz-
ard for the burning of this trash
during the dry months.
The locally enlisted men who
worked with the C. c.. G. men dur
ing the summer have all been
sent to winter stations near Mis-
soula. Some of the local men will
be q~uartered at the Nine-milc re-
mount station west of Missoula.
Ten more men experienced in for
estry work will be recruited from
this district, said Mr.. Fields, to be
sent to posts in northwestern Mon
tana for duty this winter.

NAGLE RULES ON
TAX DEED MATTER
Payment of Years Taxes
Gives Additional Year
For Redemption

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS may
take tax deeds to property on
which four years taxes are de-
linquent after November 80, 1888,
according to a ruling by Attorney
General Raymond t. Nagle's Of
flee on a section of the 1888 state
legislative session laws.
The statute provides, it was
held, that if the property owner
pays one years taxes during the
four year period he is allowed to
redeem his property after issuance
of a tax certificate, then he may
have an additional year in which
to redeem his property.
Thus, a county may not obtain
o tax deed until five years from
the time Of issuance of a tax GER
tificate if the owner pays one
years additional taxes during the
neriod of four years allowed him
to redeem.
This opinion was given County
Attorney P. R. Heily Of Columbus
A subsequent letter to County At
torney John f. McGough, in Boul-
der elaborated ON the ruling.
In the letter to McGough it was
pointed out that it is doubtful
whether or not a county may val
idly take a tax deed prior to No
vember 80, 1888, where three
e have expired subsequent tc
issuance of a tax certificate.
Doubt regarding validity Of
such action arises from Chapter
al of the laws Of 1888, definitely
