GETS UNDERWAY At
MEETHEREM MONDAY
Committees Appointed To
Serve Community Plan
Of Building

Red Lodges campaign in the
better housing program being
sponsored throughout the nation
by the governments Federal Hous-
ing administration got underway
here Monday night with an organ
%ization meeting held at the county
courthouse.
DR.. L. H. Tooley, Red Lodge
postmaster who last week was ap-
pointed county chairman of the
program, presided over Mondays
night meeting and made announce
ment of his selections of those
who are to serve as chairmen of
the various working committees
in the plan to revive the building
industries of the community and
at the same time start a cycle Of
revived trade and prosperity.
A clear presentation of the gov
ernment's plan and how to put it
into effective operation was pre-
scented by Phil H. Pick, a repre-
sentative from the office Of Miles
Romney, Montana director of the
new government program, at Hell
ena. The presentation of the pro-
gram was largely made through
the use of a stereoptican syn
%chronized with sound. The presen-
tation was ~profusely illustrated
with slides and every detail of it's
operation and benefits to a COM
munity explained.
Any property owner, individual,
partnership or corporation with a
regular income and a good credit
standing in his community may
take advantage of the new plan,
it was stated. Loans for improve
ments are made through any fl
nancial institution approved by
the Federal Housing administra-
ton. Loans are made from 500 to
$4,000 depending upon the income
of the borrower and the notes may
be made payable in a period of
from m to three years, with ex-
tensions from 81 months to five
years if necessary.
The credit cost on such loans
will not exceed five per cent, pay
ments may be made in monthly in
stallments and the only security
required is that the borrower have
a steady income.
In outlining the program for
Red Lodge and Carbon county,
Chairman Tooley stated that the
most important committee to serve
the plan in this community is the
advisory committee, which auto
matically includes every man and
woman with the welfare of the
community at heart.
Committee chairmen, as an
nounced by him to serve in the To-
cal campaign, are as follows:
Finance committee. M. Sla-
vens, chairman and treasurer.

That the New Deal administra-
ton has repudiated its promises
to the voters who placed their
faith in it in 1882 and that it was
now failing and would continue to
fail as evidenced by recent chang
es made in the NRA and the res
ignation of Gen. Hugh A. Johnson
as it's administrator were some of
the campaign charges hurled at
the opposition by Former Judge
George M. Bourquin, Republican
candidate for the six-year term in
the United States senate, in a
campaign address delivered at
Washington hall here Friday
night.
From four to five hundred citi-
zens crowded the hall to hear the
senatorial candidate fire the OPEN
ing gun of the Republican cam
paign in Carbon county for the
general election of next month.
Chairman John G. Skinner of the
county Republican central COM
mittee presided over the meet and
introduced, prior to the main ad-
dress, j. Ward Crosby, candidate
for reelection on the Republican
ticket to clerk of the supreme
court, who is accompanying Judge
Bourquin on his campaign tour.
Mr.. Crosby's oversea war record
was cited and high tribute was
paid to his ability in the office he
seeks and which he has held for
several years.
All of the Republican candidates
for Carbon county offices were
seated on the speakers platform
The Republican senatorial can
didate opened his address with the
statement that it had been a long
time since he last addressed a Red
Lodge audience. "Thirty or forty
years ago." he said, "and ] hope
to be able to deliver another adj
dress here in as many years to
come"
Demonstrating a keen knowl-
edge and insight of state and ma
tional affairs, the former federal
jurist gave a courageous presen-
tation of facts as he viewed them
His delivery was excellent and
was intertpersed with sharp.
witty illusions and singing satire
on political topics which brought
forth frequent outbursts of ap-
plause from his audience.
He stated that the Roosevelt
administration had asked for crit
icism and was getting much of it
"This is a political campaign
he told his audience, "and what
say upon this platform this eve
ming will not be said in disparage-
ment of any one person or thing
but will be a true recital of the
facts as they are. The other party
is wrong and we're going to prove
to you that they are wrong.

against Mr.. Roosevelt or his adj
ministration. / have no harsh
words to say against my opponent

my feelings toward him, that

of Red Lodge, ROBERTS, bOyu ana
Joliet at a mass meeting held
at the courthouse here Monday
morning and was plainly indicated
by a standing vote taken on the
question "Do you favor the Nor
thern Pacific Railway company
putting a passenger bus service
between Red Lodge and Billings
and disseminating its present pas
senger train service?" Every citi-
zen present cast his vote against
such a change.
The meeting, which got under
way at 8 a. m. with John Peters
of Red Lodge as acting chairman,
was called for the purpose of feel
ing out local sentiment towards
the railroads proposal. Officials
of the Northern Pacific appeared
soon after the meeting got under
way but were informed that the
gathering was open only to local
citizens. Opinions of the numerous
persons in attendance were openly
discussed and~ none favored the
change in this community's trans
portation facilities. A. G. Ander-
son, Boyd merchant, acted as
spokesman for his community,
while Joliet was represented by
Mayor E. C. Talmage and Roberts
by P. E. Rowland.
H. c. Olcott, local wholesaler,
told the audience that such a
change in the local service would
handicap him seriously in con-
Quoting his business affairs here.
Hasdley Weydt, Local gasoline
dealer, stated that the proposed
change would also be detrimental
to his business affairs.
O. H. P. Shelley, publisher of
the News, scathingly rebuked the
railroad for its policies, declaring
that the Northern Pacific was try
ing ITO ruin this town.. He point
ed out that such a change in the
rail service at this time would take
years to overcome and that it
would prove a serious handicap to
the tourist trade of the city ex-
pected in large volume over the
new park highway between here
and Cooke City. He also declared
that local industries, such as the
distilling plant 500 to be placed
in operation here by the Yellow
stone D~istilleries, Inc, were de-
pendent upon an adequate rail SER
vice to operate their businesses.
Included among others who o.
penly expressed their opinions on
the issue at Mondays meeting
were H. A. Simmons, O. J. Rice,
John G. Skinner, A. F. Richardson
and Gus B .Foltz.
At the conclusion of the meet
ing it was decided that four more
members be added tq/a committee
named last May by the Red Lodge
Business and Professional Mems
club to aid in uniting the opposi-
ton for Thursday mornings meet
ing. The trio composing the init
ial committee are Mayor G. A.
Jeffrey, John G. Skinner and o.
H. P. Shelley. Those added Mon
day on selection of Chairman
Peters are Edgar Allen, w. c..
Ball, Hardley Weydt and Harry
Moore. Mayor Jeffrey serves as
chairman of the group.
The committee was instructed
to gather all possible data that
could be used in the fight at
Thursdays hearing and to broad
cast the word that all citizens OPP
posed to the railroads move ap-
pear at the hearing and enter their
protests.
The local opposition won its
first round in the fight when the
board of railroad commissioners
Saturday changed the hearing
from Billings to Red Lodge after
petition was submitted from
here asking for such a change.

A century ago in England, Fri
day was considered such an I'M
lucky day that the admiralty de-
cided to refute the superstition
with the building of a FRIDAY"
ship. Friday was the day her keel
was laid, and the day she was
launched. Friday was the name of
her captain and the name of the
ship. Friday was the day she
started on her maiden voyage, and
she was never heard Of again.

He urged policy of work relief for
the unemployed rather than one of
money payment, and asserted:

toward Washington and look more
toward ourselves"
Taber was interrupted by applause
rs he said:
When We advocated the debenture,
many business leaders and politicians
held up their hands in horror, only to
delay action until conditions were so
serious that they later supported rem

organizations proposed prior to 1929

Strength Replaces Weakness Al
Chicago and Losses Are
More Than Overcome

Chicago, Feb. 10.-(R)- Stimulated
by cotton market jumps to new high
price record for the season, grain
values rose late Saturday, more than
overcoming earlier losses.
With all United States grain ex-
changes closed Monday, when Liver
pool and Winnipeg will be open, there
was considerable evening-up of ac-
counts in all the grain pits. Trade
interest was largely centered In pros
pective developments at Washington.
Wheat closed nervous at the same
as Fridays finish to 4 higher. May
901s-A: July S8M-89. Corn A-H up,
May 5l&-k; July $685.. Oats at
4 decline to u advance, and pro-
visions unchanged to q rise Of n cents.
Power to recover developed In the
wheat market after prices suffered q
break to about ~ cents above Fri
days finish. Strong rallies In COT
ton helped wheat upward more than
one cent from the early bottom level
A firmer undertone shown in the
stock market at this stage tended
also to put more backbone into wheat
values.
Corn and oats scored advances after
stop-loss selling was absorbed.
Provisions steadied.

Speculative readjustments brought

as traders accepted profits accruing
from the December -January rally

The trading community seemed .
bit surprised by the presidents de-

Dollar exchange. possibly with the
aid Of pressure from the new equali-
zation fund. declined throughout vir-
tually the entire week, reducing its
premium over gold currencies which
made for greater normality In view
Of its lower gold content. The French
franc was strong throughout most Of
the crisis In Paris. rejecting partly
the further sale Of dollars. The
French currency came nearer its new
parity. although the difference was
still large enough to attract more
gold here.
