The first Montana State baseball

The second state. league was or

pro rather than pro, was the league

DAYS, Sundays and holidays. The league
was not revived the following year.
Jim Finlen, then a druggist, now
a banker, was president of the Butte
club. The late Arthur Perham was
secretary-treaSurer. The team had two
managers. Arthur Merkle and Hi

under way, Merkle turned over the
managerial reins to Kimhall. Hi" did
not play with the club. His playing

Since 1905, there have been. numer-

The standout high school football
teams in the ~intermountain district
in 1909, were Butte and Longmont,
Colo. In a post-season game played at
Columbia Gardens Dec. 5, Longmont
won. The score was 5 to o.
With the Longmont team, was a
young man named Gregg, who was
manager. But Gregg liked Butte n
vice versa.
In due time, Gregg graduated from
high school, and entered a university,
escaping with an M. D.. degree.

Canadian Editor Gapes

TORONTO, Can.-Canadian edi-

spending program o. the Roosevelt
administration. The Financial Post
of Toronto, a non-partisan publica
ton, quotes an article in the Sphere
of Washington "a monthly maga.
zine of fairly broad views, pub
lished by Whaley-Eaton) as saying
"He (RoosevelD is the most ex
travagant ruler ever known to re
corded history. Not even Solomon
who left the people of his country
impoverished, could hold a candle
to him. He has dipped into the
stored reserves of the nation-those
reserves which were created by
sweat and blood of men and wom-
en-and he has squandered them
like prodigal.
''Nor has that contented him. He
has 'dipt into the future far as
human eye can see and :nortgaged
everything in sight. He has raided
the integrity of every insurance pol
icy in the United States. He has
flung the shadow of a. possible in
1ation, worse than a pestilence,
over every hearthstone in the coun-
try. For every one person to whom
he could possibly promise economic
security, he has deprived ten of
that security"

MONTANA LEADING In
AUTO REGISTRATIONS

Registration Of motor vehicles in
the United States showed an in
crease of 5 percent in 1896 over the
number registered in 1884, the
Bureau of Public Roads reports.
This brought the total registrations
to within a few thousand of the
peak figure of 1880, when 26,545,-
900 motor vehicles were registered.
Total registration for 1885 in
cluded 26,221, ,O52 motor vehicles,
of which 22,565,347 were -passeng-
er cars, taxicabs and busses, and
1866, ,705 trucks. Registration rev.
enue amounted to 1922, TIC, ,536.
The 5-percent gain in registration
was closely paralleled by the in
crease in gasoline consumption,
which showed a gain of GA per-
cent.
Montana led the list in regis
tration percentage increase, 'the
gain amounted to 1877 percent.
Other States ranking toward the
top were South Carolina with 1853
percent, New Mexico lis percent,
and Louisiana 1912 percent. Ne
braska was the only State show
ing a decrease in registrations,
but the loss came to only 0.1 per-
cent.

T. = - CONSTITUTIONAL

BY MAX 6ERNS

Is there any advantage in the divi-
sion of powers between federal, state
and local governments?
On this point, Jefferson, in 1899,
said: II am for preserving to the
states the powers not yielded by
them to the union, and to Congress
the legislature of the union, its con.
stitutional share in the division of
powers; and am not for transfer
ring all the powers of the states to
the general government, and all
those Of that government to the
executive branch"
In his Autobiography, Jefferson
adds: 1T is not by the consolidation,
or concentration Of powers, but by
their distribution, that good govern.
ment is effected. Were not this great
country already divided into States,
that division must be made, that
each might do for itself what con-
Germs itself direct, and what It can
so much better do than a distant
authority.
Every State again is divided into
counties, each to take care Of what
lies within its local bounds; each
county again into townships or
wards, to manage minuter details;
and every ward into farms, to be
governed by its Individual pro.

Scarcity Brings Penalties.

Three years of a New Deal pro-
gram Of scarcity in food produc-
ton have been helped along by two
droughts. Foreign countries are
taking advantage of the situation
by sending increasing quantities Of
food products into the American
market. The latest development is
the announcement by the Depart.
ment Of Agriculture that Argentine
corn is being sold in this country
at about four cents below domestic
quotations, despite high import du-.
ties. Meanwhile the New Deal crop
diversion program for the present
fiscal year is costing almost $500. !

Seed Corn Situation

Much comment has been heard
concerning the seed corn situation
not only in this county, but in the
state and nation as well. While a
few people have been getting 1O0R
termination tests. many more have
been getting 10-20% tests. The
situation is not at all encouraging,
but as yet / see no reason for lm-
porting corn of uncertain or un-
adapted varieties.
All seed that is to be planted
should be tested. This testing
should be done now, because when
plowing starts there is apt to be a
let down on the part of the farmers.
This will result in many poor stands
of corn this year.
In regard to selling seed corn,
farmers who sell only seed they
have purchased themselves, need
not purchase a seed license nor
procure a vendors license Or eX-
emption certificates for the sales
tax.
Results of some testing that was
done at M. & M. high school, under
direction of Mr. Burdick, are as fol
lows: Number of kernels tested,
1920; terminating, 678; samples
testing above 500, 4 samples test
ing below 9095, %; average per-
centage termination, At.
