SCHOOL BUSES

School consultations now so pop
ular are presenting new problems
to patrons in the rural districts.
Every such consolidation involves
bussing children and this transpor-
tation problem is increasing in cost
and effectiveness. In this district,
transportation costs are above the
average, for several reasons, the
principal one being the fact that
such a wide area is covered daily
with the BUSES.
Last week the school district pur-
chased bus with a seating capacity
of sixty children. The need for
such modern affair is apparent to
all, but the change in the status of
the present arrangement is finding
DIRECTORS. The problem presented to
the school directors is simple one,
and the patrons, for whom the
board is acting, should have the
same viewpoint. Should the dis
trict own, control and operate its
own fleet of BUSES if by so doing
better service at a less cost per pu-
pill can be thereby obtained. is the
proposition.

DOGS
We've always felt that next to the
common gossip, the lowest form Of
humanity was the dog poisoner,
When we've experienced the depre-
dations of this person in the past
we've been bitter in the extreme and
felt that almost any punishment
was too good. However, there can
be such a thing as a community
having too many dogs. This condi-
ton invariably leads to some
method of which we
hope in this case will not get to the
poisoning stage. There are too
many dogs here. Citizens know it
and the council has had enough
complains about the subject recent
ly that they are aware of the
trouble. Now they have agreed to do
something about it. Howling dogs,
barking dogs, dogs that chase cars
and kids and the mean dogs are to
be controlled from now on. The po-
lice department is to receive in
structions to make the owners Of
pups pay for the privilege of har-
boring them, according to the coun-
Gil which heard a vehement protest
Tuesday night.

1T WON'T WORK

Everyone around Kennewick will
say "amen" to the statement of VIM.
Green, head of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, that every Amer
lean should have an annual income
of not less than $500 per year. It
sounds great-but where's all the
money coming from?
There are approximately 10000
families in the u. S. Giving each of
these families $1,000 per year, and
limiting all income strictly to this
amount would require about one
hundred and ten billion dollars a
year in national income. Our total
national income last year fell just
short of sixty billion dollars. It has
never been higher than eighty
eight billion. We have never pro-
duced one hundred and ten bill
lion dollars worth of wealth in this
country in any one year, and it will
be a long long time before we do.
It must be remembered in this con-
nection that production is the only
real way to acquire wealth. Increas-
ed production is the one and only
route to increased wealth.
The elemental fact is worth
dwelling on in these times when
there are so many schemes spring.
ing up to provide people with liv-
ing without the necessity of working
for it. Such schemes sound good,
but when actual figures are called
in they just don't stand the test.
Dreams of less work and more pay,
or lot of pay with no work at all
make interesting reading. But they
are still dreams, just the same. And
few of us will live to see any of them
come true.

A PROCESS OF DICTATORSHIP

A PROCESS OF DlClA1OrtOl1A1
There is mistaken idea in the
minds of many people that drastic
reorganization of the Federal courts
in general, and packing" OF the
Supreme Court in particular, is the
only way of changing the legal
standing of certain kinds OF laws
that have been found unconstitu-
tio1al. H.. - ...
The fact is that no document
could be more malleable, or could be
more readily adapted to changing
conditions when a definite need ex-
lists and popular opinion is massed
in favor of change, than the Consti-
tuition.
The means for change is found in
the body of the Constitution itself
where provision is made for amend
ments. More than 20 amendments
have been added to the document
since it was first written. And it is
a noteworthy fact that the more i'm
portant amendments, with few ex-
ceptions. have been passed in a
reasonably short time after their
introduction.
A few decades ago, for example,
Congress passed bill empowering
the Federal government to levy q
tax on incomes. A test case was
taken through the courts, and the
measure finally held demonstrations
al. But no one attempted to pack"
q court which had simply done its
duty under the law, because Of that
act. Instead, President Taft advo-
Gated constitutional amendment;
and the proposal went before the
people in the orderly, prescribed
manner. The people agreed with the
President-and the income tax
amendment soon followed.
Similar examples are found in the
amendments providing for prohibi-
ton, for prohibition repeal, for fe-
male suffrage, etc. This is democ-
racy-and when the voice Of the
people demands a change, that
change comes. To attempt change
through court packing or any other
subterfuge is not a democratic pro-
cess-but a process Of dictatorship,
whether we like that word or not.

Propaganda is being spread
broadcast from every angle, urging
people to build, remodel, enlarge and
In every way increase employment.
The reaction to the propaganda has
been noticeable and many have
taken advantage Of the opportun-
tiles offered to build. However,
some things can happen to damper
the ardor Of any person who con-
templates building. For instance, Mr..
Brown, who Is putting up Kenne-
wick's most modern building, had
an experience last week which al
most put an end to the project. An
inspector for the state industrial
insurance board appeared on the
job and stated that the state would
expect q payment Of $1.44 per man
per day, If Mr.. Brown acted as his
own builder. The cost was stagger-
ing sufficient to cause any build
er to quit. AS way out the in
spector stated that if a contrac-
tor were to make the payments they
would be reduced to 81 cents per
man per day-or some such greatly
lowered figure. Now, why is it
that the department charges one
figure If the owner hires the men
and another figure two-thirds less,
II a contractor hires the men to do
the same job? There's evidently
something screwy somewhere.

'DELEC TO
PRAISE
MONTANA SOLONS.
Concerted Efforts to Secure
Aid for Drouth Area
Told

Praise for Montana's "hard-hit-
ting" senators at Washington was
expressed today by C. w. Peterson,
Plentywood businessman who with
r. NJ. Jackson was in Washington
as a delegate from here striving for
immediate relief for this drouth hit
area.
The consistent, untiring efforts oil
Sen. Burton X. Wheeler and Sen,
James E. Murray and their assist
ants to secure aid for northeastern
Montana in the present crisis was
told by Mr.. Peterson.
ITO prove their feeling towards
our section" Mr.. Peterson said, "the
senators gave us most of their time
and power to be of assistance and
Montana is mighty fortunate to
have such men at Washington"
"The Montana senators have an
uphill fight" is Mr.. Peterson's opin-
ion. 1T is especially difficult be-
cause eastern senators contend that
relief is sought in an area which
they think should be abandoned.
Eastern capital dislikes very much
the idea of spending additional mo-
ney in this section, and If 1t were
not for power held by Montana con-
gre~ssional men, this state would un-
d%oubtedly be a sadly neglected
area"
Mr.. Peterson and Mr.. Jackson,
while at Washington, issued pleas
for aid in behalf of Sheridan county
and northeastern Montana.
Conferences with Montana senat-
ors, WPA officials. and M. l.. Will
son of the agricultural department
by the delegates from here and 9TH
er northeastern Montana counties
gave officials at Washington a clear
picture of conditions and through
their efforts the giant relief program
for this section has been speeded
and is now a reality.
Help at once was the word
brought back from Washington by
the Plentywood men. 1t will include
an enlarged WPA program, covering
a wider scope, opening up Of reset
Element grants and special conces-
sions for this drouth area.

Mexican Railroad
Is Proposed by Capitalist

A railroad from Regina. Sask.
through Montana and into Wyoming
sought for Is years, this week again
gained consideration with announce.
ment from Hugh Lee Kirby, New
York City capitalist, that a "British
syndicate" is ready to finance the
project.
Kirby said the syndicate Is ready
to advance 1854, 900, 900 for the
project, and declared preliminary ar
r~angements are under way to close
the deal.
Kirby, who has been working for
such a line for many years, said the
road would extend from Regina,
through Montana and into Sheri-
dan. Casper and Rawlins and thence
to Craig, Colo, whre 1t would join
the Denver and Salt Lake railroad.
He contends the road would open

Wyoming.
Under former plans 1t was said
the road would be built into Mon

1.-THE west bound train which car
ries the bulk of incoming mail and
newspapers is scheduled to arrive
here at 1850 am. 1t takes approx
imately 20 minutes for the mail to
reach the postoffice and prepare 1t
for distribution. AT least n hour
is needed to place first class mail
and newspapers in boxes.
'lf trains arrive on schedule and
quantities of mail remain at an av-
erage, patrons can call at the local
office about l o'clock or shortly af-
ter, and 1t is reasonably sure that
the mail will be cased.
1T is a physical impossibility to
handle the quantity of mail received
here in less time" the postmaster
said.
Mail for the south bound train
must be posted at the office before 2
o'clock. The train Is scheduled to
leave Plentywood at 2.30.
Mail routed over the 500 line
