that you acted for the best interests
of the state of Montana. Maybe you
did. I earnestly await your reply.
1t has been said that no specific
charges were made against the quail
ity of Mr.. Keeney's work, is this
true? If any charges were made,
just what were they?
1t has further been said that Mr.
Keeney was denied an investigation
by the faculty Service Committee.
If this is true, are you not then,
guilty of a violation of the regula-
tons of the State Board, of which
you are now a member? And furth-
er, is not such a discharge actually
illegal?
1t has also been said that MI.
Keeney's friends and supporters
were denied a hearing before the
Board, and that you concurred in
this action. Can you justify your
position in this situation, when it
certainly smacks of r%ailroading, and
is against all spirit of fairness? Are
you p~rejudiced to such an extent
that you would refuse to hear all
sides of any controversy?
Finally, it has been said that Mr..
Keeney was discharged because he
is a liberal, and not a reactionary;
that because he believes in permit
ting students to read even the radi-
cal side of public questions and
placed certain books on the "open
shelf" so they might be permitted to
do so; and that because he became
affiliated with a Teachers Union, re-
Gently organized on the University
campus.
Just what have you to say to this?
Do you believe in academic free
dom? Do you think that University
students are still too young to pur-
sue research work on all sides Of
political, economic, or other ques-
tons concerning public progress
generally? Are you against organ
lied labor? If so, why? Do you not
believe that any individual has the
right to join any organization that
will better his condition whether it
be physical, moral, intellectual, or
economic? Isn't it true that the laws
of this country now permit men to
organize in unions of their own Sc
lection without coercion in any
form? And isn't it also true that the
Wagner-C onnery act was recently
declared constitutional?
Are you willing to give Mr.. Kee-
ney (and of course Mr.. Rowe) a
square deal? I and my organization
are willing to give you the benefit
of the doubt. VIII you do the same
thing for Mr.. Keeney? Again I re-
peat: l am anxiously awaiting your
reply.
Very truly yours,
Gallatin County Trades and La
Dor Assembly, by w. B. Gille-
land, Recording Secretary.

event there is no wife or child, in
an amount not exceeding SIT per
week, and not exceeding the amount
which the son contributed to their
support.
If a mother or father has an in
dependent income, or if the father
is working and yet the son, who is
a single man, helps to support his
mother or father or both, the mother
or father can make a claim for COM
%pensation, and payments can be
made in the event of the sons death
in industry, but not for a greater
amount than the contributions which
are a partial support of the parents.
1t is necessary, of course, for the
parents to prove that the son con-
tributed to their support at the time
of his injury. If he was not con-
tributing to their support then they
would not be entitled to any COM
.pensation.
Example No. l
The son is killed in the course of
his employment. At the time of his
death he is a single mar and his
wages are $50 per week. He was
living with his mother at the time
of his death and was contributing
half of his wages to her support, in
fact he was her sole support. Under
our law she can make a claim for
compensation and would receive
compensation for a period of 400
weeks at the rate of SIS per week,
the same as a wife.
Example No. 2
The son is killed in industry. Al
the time of his death he is a single
man. He is earning $50 per week
His mother and father are both liv-
ing, but the earnings of the father
are not sufficient to support the
father and mother and the son has
been contributing SIS of his weekly
wages to the support of the father
and mother. In such case the father
and mother may make a claim fol
compensation under our law ano
would be paid compensation at the
rate of SIS per week, or an amount
equal to the contributions, for {
period of 400 weeks.

Riding between two men, support

riding behind the trio, Carpy saw
the injured man, hatless and coat
less, and heard him suppress an oc-
casional groan. Carpy walked for
ward to greet the party well, boys"
he asked, "who is it this timer"
Jim =. Laramie answered. "Why,
Doc, it's Jake SPOTS. There's been a
bad accident. Jake and Panama got
cut off up by the pass. Stayed too
long. I'm glad you're here, Doc; he's
hurt pretty bad"
'No!" screamed SPOTS, so black
ened and burned as to be unrecog-
nizable, and writing in pain, lit
amt me, Doc; it's Panama! Damn
it-go back, boys, and get Panama. I
tell you, go back!"
"Denison has gone to get him,
Doc" explained Laramie. Keep
quiet, Jake, you only make your leg
worse. It's his leg, Doc"
Carpy motioned. Bring him into
the cabin"
The unfortunate barber, eased, with
many groans, off the pony, was laid
on the dinner table, asking for water
and half deliriously calling for Pan
anna. Carpy examined SPOTS. He
found to his relief that the man was
not seriously burned.

little later to the group; "broke
down near the ankle"
Keeping up a rapid fire of talk,
Carpy opened his bag, set out his
needed appliances and his bottle of
chloroform, gradually subdued the
man, got him, with James help, I'M
der the anesthetic, and working in
his shirt sleeves and in the intense
heat at a breath-taking speed, fin

doctor, what do you suppose he

Carpy explained. Today" he con-

the line: the men work in pairs
generally"
II hope they'll find him all right. "
II hope" observed Carpy thought
fully, hell be all right when they
do find him."
"There come some of the boys.

Because the cost per unit can be

The principle that those who lend
money on the security of residential
building should be concerned with its
structural quality now Is generally
indorsed,' said Mr.. Fahey. But
something more than mere indorse-
ment Of principle is needed. To achieve
better housing and safer loans, lend
ers must actively foster better con-
struction. AS the building and home
owning public is taught to insist on
better home values and as builders
are provided with an incentive to
build to a quality rather than a price
many Of the evils now present in the
small home field will be eliminated.
There is alarming evidence of a
return to careless planning and jerry
