MICHIGAN SENATOR
DEFENDS O'CONNOR
couzens Denies Currency
Comptroller Withheld Data
From Committee

Washington, Oct. 6.-(F-Senator
Couzens (Rep-Mich) denied in a
statement Thursday that J.. F. T..
O'Connor, comptroller of the cur
rency, had concealed information
when his name was before the senate
finance committee for approval.
The denial was made by Couzens In
commenting on news dispatches from
Los Angeles describing a suit filed
In superior court there to 'disbar
O'Connor in California on the ground
that he practiced law after his fed
eral appointment. The suit was dis
missed.
Couzens said:
MY attention has been called to a
Los Angeles dispatch stating that J.
F. T. O'Connor. comptroller Of the
currency, made certain statements or
concealed certain information when
his name was considered by the sem
ate finance committee for comptroller.
This Is positively false as Mr.. O'Con-
nor never appeared before the COM
mittee and was never asked to fur
nish any information.
His career was we'll known to many
senators and one senator had known
him for over 80 years. My informa-
ton Is that no public officer in WASH
ington has devoted himself more un-
selfishly or Is putting In more hours
at his desk than Mr.. O'Connor L
was one who thought man Of more
experience should be selected as
comptroller, and In the committee SO
expressed myself. However. my In
formation Is that Mr.. O'Connor has
won the admiration Of those whom he
has contacted since he took office.
1T Is gratifying to me to learn
through the press that the courts Of
California instantly dismissed the
petition as being too flimsy."

STANDARD OIL WILL TEST
NEW MONTANA TAX

HELENA, Aug. 27.IThe Standard Oil
Company of Indiana filed suit in dis
trict court here Saturday to test the
constitutionality of the Montana chair
store tax and to prevent enforcement
of the tax in regard to the company's
bulk and service stations.
The suit names as defendants the
Montana board Of equalization, Attor-
ney General Raymond r. Maggie, State
Treasurer James J. Brett and State
Auditor John j. Holmes.
Besides the allegation that the tax
is unconstitutional, the company asserts
the distribution of gasoline is not mer-
chandising, NOR are filling stations
stores in the general acceptance OF
the term"
The suit further claims the chain
store tax was enacted after the expir-
alton of the constitutional limitation of
the 23d legislative assembly and argues
that for such reason it is null and void.
The Standard Oil company states It
paid, under protest to this state $500
as license fees for bulk stations and
Sl,2l3 as fees for service stations in &C
cordance with regulations Of the lax.
These amounts the company seeks to
recover.-Great Falls Tribune.

Another Boxing
Program Planned
For Labor Day
Seven Bout Program Will BE Staged
Between c. G. E. Boys in This
Section

The boxing program that Libby fam
were promised for Labor Day Is taking
form, and big Chief Hoffman says ii
will be one of the fastest and best ever
staged in Libby. Following the highly
successful affair of August II, it was
promised that another program of bouts
would soon be staged here. That prom
ise will be kept
Full details of the program cannot
be announced at this time but it can
be said there will be four bouts be-
tween the white boys of the Rexford
and Troy G. G. c. camps and three
bouts between the colored lads from
the Pipe creek and Spread creek camps.
The white boys earned for themselves
the reputation of being not only eager
but fast and clever scrappers during
the series of bouts pulled off on Aug.
IL, and they will add to that reputation
on Labor Day. Ever since the camps
have been established it has been
known that the colored boys had sew
eral Jack Johnsons on their rosters
and they promise to give the fans their
full moneys worth 1t is said there is
one colored boy in the Yak camp who
is just too much of a fighter for al
most anyone in this district But all OF
the best fighters are being worked into
the coming program
The affair will be held in the Libby
opera house on the night Of Labor Day,
Monday, September 4. If half the
crowd attends that were present at the
open air program on the 18th, the opera
house will be jammed to the four walls.

to increase the county poor fund to
the highest point allowed by law. I'm

Campers And
II
Smokers Start
19l Forest Fires
One Cigarette Burns Nearly 500 Acres
OF Natural Forest Resources
md Scenery.

MISSQULA, Aug. 28 Help prevent
forest fires--bc careful with matches
tobacco and camp fires.
If this forest service warning had
been followed to the letter during the
past months there would have been
nearly 200 less forest fires to fight in
the national forests of the northern
Rocky Mountain region, according to q
report issued August 20 by the regional
office at Missoula-
The report reveals that the number
OF fires caused by human carelessness
up to August 20 exceeds the ten-year
average record of man-caused fires for
that same period IN Region One. OF
the sos forest fires reported to the re-
gional office so far this season, q total
OF 19l fires were started by campers
who failed to extinguish every spark
OF their camp fires, and by smokers who
did not comply with the forest serv-
Ice rules that smoking is permitted only
in established camps and places Of hab-
itation within national forest boundar-
les. The mo smoking" restrictions went
into effect August / on all forests of
Region One.
a catelessly thrown cigarette started
forest fire In the Bitterroot national
forest and burned 760 acres before a
large army Of firefighters could bring
1t under control. Here, one carelessly
thrown cigarette destroyed and dam
aged nearly 300 acres of natural forest
resources and scenery, it is reported.
Another smoker started fire which
burned 440 acres. Rain and cooler
weather came to aid in checking and
putting out this blaze which threatened
rich forest area in western Montana.
For a ten-day period, ending August
20, total of 121 fires were reported to
the regional office at Missoula, 10 fires
burned 10 acres or more, the report for
this period reveals. Sixty fires were
started by lightning five by campers,
81 were started by smokers, two by
debris burning, six by incendiarism,
two by numbering operations and five
were of miscellaneous origin.
1t is estimated that 11,257 acres Of
national forest land have been dam
aged by fires SO far this season.
