Unemployment
Compensation
Must Be Paid

HELENA, Nov. 21.-Court suits
to enforce payment of delinquent
contributions due the Unemploy-
ment Compensation commission on
wages paid to employees in 1887 are
now being started, according to Ev-
erett E. Lofgren attorney for the
commission.
The commission has ruled that
1887 accounts must be cleared up
Immediately and will grant no fur
Their time extensions" Lofgren said.
However, if firms prove real
intent to pay their 1887 delinquent
contribution by making a substan-
tlal payment at once and by making
definite arrangements for the pay-
ment of the balance they will escape
court action.
Lofgren announced that Of the
10000 employers liable for con-
tributions under the low of 1887,
less than 400 now are delinquent on
all or part of their 1887 payments.
'The commission has been lenient
in granting additional time to en-
ployers to pay contributions, feel
ing that, as the legislation was new,
employers should be given ample
time to file their reports and thor
oughly understand the new law.
Now the stringent provisions OF
the law must be enforced, in &C
cordance with the duties of the com
mission as defined by the law. and
in fairness to the thousands of Mon

contributions" Lofgren said.

West opened the ace of hearts and
his partner played the discouraging
deuce. West decided that this called
for shift through dummy's king OF
spades and his next lead Of the ten
Of spades brought forth simultaneous
cheers from his partner. since the
heart continuation would have set the
hand. And then the post-mortem be-
gan. West claimed that his partner
should have dropped the king on his
ace, since the deuce was such q dis
couraging card that he would be bound
to shift to spade. In addition, West
claimed that he was bound to hold the
queen Of hearts. since otherwise his
hand would be too weak to justify the
vulnerable one-heart overcall.
East's version was quite different.
He maintained that he would not have
doubled the five-diamond contract un-
less he held two pretty sure tricks, de-
fensively. Therefore his double could
hardly have been based on two such
doubtful tricks as the ace, queen Of
spades. East also said that he could
not be sure that his partner held the
queen Of hearts and hence the play Of
the king would be risky. He wound up
the discussion by maintaining that he
might easily have held 4 singleton
heart and that his partners spade
shift was inexcusable
Our own opinion Is this: East might
have dropped the king Of hearts. Un-
doubtedly 1t would have proved to be
the winning play. However. We place
90 per cent of the blame on his part

Maine Republicans Adopt

~ the Associated Press.
BANGOR, Me, April limited
States Senator H. Styles Bridges, Re-
publican, of New Hampshire yesterday
demanded return of the American
Government to the people, through
their representatives, to end Roosevelt
constitutional tyranny"
Senator Bridges and other Repub-
lican leaders addressed the Maine
State Republican Convention, which
adopted platform welcoming signs
that free people will no longer sub
NIT to the destruction of our American
institutions"
Through decentralization, said Sen
ator Bridges. President Roosevelt and
his works should be shorn of the
power gained by usurpation, by
coercion. by threats, by the sabotaging
Of independent commissions by tor
pedoing civil service and by making
ridiculous trade treaties with foreign
nations"
The Republican party, Senator
Bridges said. is the only staff upon
winch democracy can hope to lean"
He prophesied Republican success in
the 1888 elections.
The 1886 election" he said. was
not an election-but public auction.
Roosevelt was the highest bidder
because he had your money and my
money to bid with. But at least, two
States, Maine and Vermont, couldn't
be bought. Today the Roosevelt
honeymoon is over"
He asserted that the President now
was Vulnerable" and that the Demo-
cratic party was beginning to feel
the seeds of discomfort"
The New Hampshire Senator sug-
gested a program which would: Re-
turn administration of relief to the
States and municipalities, supple
mented by the Federal Government;
take the Government out of COM
petition with industry; support reci-
procal trade agreements in their true
sense" reform the whole tax struct-
ure from top to bottom" provide for
an adequate Army, Navy and air force
to protect American territory and
American lives; eliminate ABUSES"
under the Social Security Act and
provide a ceiling for hours and a
floor for wages"
