Ward goods.
This building project has started
quite a wrangle to which nobody
as yet is able to see the outcome.
The new building is going to be
built up against the south wall of
the theatre, Having only one door
in the show house is against the
law. Another door leading to the
alley is now being built.
1t is also said that the south
wall Of the theatre is built on the
Jensen lot, and we understand that
Mr.. Jensen claims to be the own
er Of that wall. Bill Hass is sup
posed to be the owner Of the show
house, or the owner of that part
of it that does not belong to
somebody else. Even our legal tai

Surrounding Towns
Meet In Plentywood

Representatives of the people
from surrounding towns met at
the fire hall Tuesday evening to
discuss and decide upon the pro-
cedure to be taken at the power
rate hearing on May 9. The crowd
voiced its dissatisfaction with the
present rates which had proven to
be an increase instead of a redue-
ton to the majority of the con-
Sumers.
1t was decided to send a dele
gate to the hearing at Glendive to
get the facts as to the most eff
fecive testimony and procedure. A
man was appointed in each town
to be responsible for getting a
good delegation to attend the hear
ing.
Everybody interested in cheaper
power rates should make it a point
toNbe present at the hearing to be
held in Plentywood on May 9.

The stiff protests sent in made
the commission do away with the
idea Of raising the rates of grain
and livestock. However, there is
every reason to believe that soon
in the future these things will be
asked for as well as some more
increases in the other rates.
In the meantime, let's take a
look at how bankrupt" these
babes in the woods really are.
In 1882 the railroads reported a
deficit of s130,0OO,OOO. Later the
books showed 1926, OOO,O 900 prof
it. In 1888 a deficit of $4,000, 900
was reported that turned out to be
a profit of $474,OOO,OOO. Bond
holders got more in 1888 than in
1929.
In April of 1884, the headlines
hailed the New Deal for pushing
railroad incomes up some 1872 per
cent during the month of March.
In the first quarter of 1884 the
net operating income was $112,-
O0O, 900, or $50 per cent more than
in the same period for 1888. The
Pennsylvania Company reports a
net income latter taking out such
incidentals as wages, taxes, ETC.
of $1Ot,33 O,9O6.76.
That doesn't sound much like g
bankruptcy wave.
In 1888 Roosevelt passed the
Emergency Railroad Transporta.
ton Act. Under this the govern
ment gave up the claim for $400,
100000 due it under the Interstate
Commerce Recapture Clause. No
only did it give up the claim but

paid by the railroads, with inter
est to boot.
Bond and stockholders are nov
getting about s6OO,OOO,OO0 pc
year. At the same time we fine
nearly a million workers laid Of
from 1880 on.
This is the story Of the busted
railroads. The only thing that i
busting on them is the purs
strings.
These rates are not only to
high, because the former rates ar
unnecessarily high, but were no
put on because the railroads need
ed them.
It is another load levied an

ers.
It is another load on the back
