PLATFORM


We, the electors of School District
No. l, in public meeting assembled,
placing in nomination the candidates
of the Independent party, submit to
the citizens of the district the fol-
lowing statement of u principles
to the support of which our candi-
dates are pledged.
l. No increase in tax levy for
schools.
2. The continued practice of strict
economy in all branches of school
activity.
3. The restoration of the 9H-
months school term. We feel this
can be done by re-allocating funds,
without increased tax levy.
4. The use of part of the old Butte
high school for gymnasium and
swimming classes for children Of the
elementary schools. This, too, can
be done without increasing the tax
levy.
S. Since we believe in progress
sive education, we advocate that the
curricula of our schools should be
more closely correlated with the
existing economic conditions. Since
over two-thirds of our high school
graduates do not continue in school
they should be prepared for indus
try. We pledge our adherence to
an administration which places more
emphasis on vocational guidance.
6. We favor the continuation and
extension of the Smith Hughes
classes in trade and craft extension.
7. We maintain that the qualifi-
cations for any teaching and admin
istrative position in our schools
should be based on education, previ-
Gus successful experience, and abil-
ity necessary to perform the duties
demanded of the position.
8. We favor the employment of
local union labor in all departments
Of School District No. 1.
8. No supplies of any character or
property shall be purchased by the
district from members of the board
or from any corporation in which
any member of the board is inter
ested.
10. We favor the purchase Of all
school supplies in Butte insofar as
possible.
II. We believe that the school
buildings should be open for the use
of the community as social, recrea-
tional, and educational centers, when
such use will not interfere with the
school course. We believe too that
the schools should always be avail
able for the exercise of the Ameri-
can constitutional rights of free
speech and ~peaceable assembly.
The candidates of this party if
elected, will conscientiously carry
out the policies above stated. They
will fearlessly and honestly dis
charge their duties as independent
public servants, devoted only to the
interests Of the community and the
pupils of the public schools. Upon
these propositions we invite the
support of the electors of School Dis
trict No. l.

UNIONS FAVOR REPEAL
OE PLAN 2

The unions went on record as ia
voring the repeal of Plan 2 of the
Montana's compensation law. The
Montana Federation of Labor and
many of the central labor councils
have sought in vain to have this
particular feature Of the compensa-
ton law done away with. They
tried it in the legislature and got
nowhere and now the president of
the Federation of Labor, James Ora
ham, suggests that the unions spon-
scr a movement to secure names to
petitions that he proposes to circu-
%larize in order that the proposition
will be put on the ballot at the next
general election. If the unions are
successful in getting the needed sig
natures, it will be placed on the
ballot and then put up to the people
to vote on it. It is a big job and
there will be a lot of education re-
quired to put it over, but it can be
done. At least it will be taken out
of the hands of a r%eactionary legis-
lature.

to permit a monopoly of the admin
istration of city, county and school
affairs to the corporate interests.
The menace at the present time in
the school system is that so few In
dependent liberal members are on
the Board of Trustees. The people
should awake to the necessity of
strengthening these democratic prin-
ciples in the conduct of the schools.

ton and at one time was a member

charge Of the State Liquor Store on
West Park Street. His record on
the School Board is outstanding and
deserves the compliments of the en-
tire community.

born in California Junction, Harri-
son County, Iowa, in 1893. He is q
graduate of the University of Ne

investigate benefit claims comprises
Mrs. David Gay, Mrs. Lund and Mrs.
Paddy Thomas.
The assessments of ten cents a
member each meeting night for the
benefit fund is being kept up, but
it is purely voluntary, Mr.. Cauley
emphasizes, and no member should
stay away from meetings ON that
account.
The attendance prize of five dol
lars was claimed last Friday night
by Mrs Chester Worthington, the
first time a member has been pres
ent for the prize since the project
was started last October.
Much satisfaction Is expressed ny
the Union over receipt of the new
charter from the Sailors Union OF
the Pacific. With the support Of
the SUP the Cannery Workers be-
lieve they can accomplish many OF
their aims.
Effective January 1, the union
voted to raise the initiation fee to
$500, with the provision that those
persons who used the working per-
mits issued to non resident during
the past season, will be admitted to

Wrangell an ideal set up for such

Approximately $4,000 is avail

LOBBY May BE-
LOCKED NIGHTS

Another wave OF vandalism IN the
postoffiee lobby nights has forced
Postmaster B. Y. Grant to state
that unless it is stopped at once the
lobby will have to be locked nights.
Twenty pen holders have been
taken in the past lew days all blot
ters destroyed and other depreda-
lions committed.
The serious part has been the
breaking of glass in the mail boxes.
In at least one instance mail was
removed.
The new section of boxes and
those which lock with a key cannot
be broken into easily, but the old
two-way combination bores are easy
to manipulate.
Mr.. Grant keenly realizes the
great Inconvenience entailed on the
public in having the lobby locked at
5 o'clock each night, but It will be
imperative to do so IN order to safe
guard the mail boxes unless the
vandalism stops Immediately.
