Political Qualifications

Having filed my application for
Railroad and Public Service Com
mission, six-year term, recently, l
deem it good policy to write a letter
setting forth my qualifications and
ability to properly fill this highly
important office, and I will advise
you as follows:
For 35 years l have been affiliated
with, and a member of Organized
Labor, starting as a locomotive fire
man, and was in 1918 initiated into
the International Association of Ma
chinists, District 80, later being
transferred to Butte City Lodge No.
SO in Butte, Montana. I worked in
this locality as a general machinist
until 1922. In that same year I quit
and entered business for myself,
specializing in general truck and
automobile repairing, which I con-
Quoted successfully until June, 1880.
Then I sold the garage and went
into the truck and equipment bust
ness, which l still carry on as dis
tributor. However, I have quit sell
ing trucks, because of unfavorable
wildcat operations. Now I specialize
on compromising gears, and further
ing the sale of power and pump
equipment by being rated as a man.
u%facturer's agent.
For a number of years l attended
every major letting Of road and con-
struction projects writing up the
proper reports and estimates, there
fore know the facts in relation tc
costs of the Montana highway sys-
TEN. This is a very good reason
why l am qualified to sit as a mem
Der of the Railroad and Public Serv.
ice Commission. Furthermore, be-
ing familiar with transportation
problems, operating costs, ton-mile
rates, gives me an insight not en-
ioyed by others. Whether applicable
to the railroads or on the highways
/ served in the 25th Assembly, anc
1 voted and worked to promote the
best interests of all the people in the
state of Montana. I also voted fol
every labor measure 100 per cent.
I shall appreciate the support Of
all groups of Organized Labor, anc
1 promise that if I am elected I will
during my term of office work fol
a greater and better Montana, with
equality and justice to all.
Yours very truly,
A. w. ANDERSON.

Matkie Outlines The
Legislative Program

people owning a rural or urban
home not exceeding in value $500,
instead Of the present pauper's oath
standard.
3. Means should be found to equal
ize the price OF gasoline with other
states in the intermountain area. At
present Montana pays a premium for
gasoline in contrast with prices in
adjoining states.
4. Farming is the backbone Of
Montana's prosperity. AS a result
farming and ranching should be aid
ed as much as possible by water
conservation programs, soil conser-
walton programs and other long
range programs looking for a better
future for Montana and Montanans.
5. A satisfactory drivers license
law should be drawn up to replace
our present makeshift law. At pres
ent petty restrictions and regulations
are imposed without any regard to
the capabilities or weaknesses of the
drivers involved. The aim of legis-
lation should be TO bring about a
desired end. Under our present law
accidents are increasing daily. At
the same time fines are being levied
right and left. In this same regard
a compulsory state auto public LA
bility and property damage insur-
ance should be Investigated.
6. An exemption from the real
property tax levy of homes or home
steads having a value of $4,000 or
less when used as a home by the
owner. This would involve a ire
mendous shift of the tax burden.
Alternative sources or income are a
sales tax or a state operated lottery.
7. DEPLETION TAXES. The pres
ent hubbub of developing our nat
ural resources is all wrong when il
involves the ~extractive industries
such as mining, numbering, and gas
and oil production. Their unregu-
lated development represents a
permanent loss to the state. Rene
dial legislation would include a tax
of Is cents per ton on strip mining
Of coal, a tax Of $50 per acre on cut
over timber lands for forest deple-
ton unless demonstration methods
are followed and a tax on coal gas
and oil produced.
8. GAMBLING. Legislation shoulc
be enacted to legalize gambling il
Montana and possibly legalize a state
lottery. Gambling has become wide
spread over the state in the past
years and partakes Of the nature Of
a racket with bribery and corrup-
ton widespread. About four anc
one-half million could be realized
from this source yearly. A state
lottery would bring in about 13,O00,-
600 dollars yearly.
l hope we will be able to unite or
a legislative program Of general vel
fare in the next session and it is be
cause of this hope that I am sub
hitting the foregoing proposals
Hoping that this movement receive.
favorable notice, L remain
Very truly yours,

Recovery Program
Will Be Supported
Continued from Page y

Coupled with the desire of a large
group of congressman to reinstate
themselves in the good graces of the
administration is growing pressure
back home from the jobless and
those on relief. In addition, con-
tractors and business men who stand
to benefit promptly and substantial
ly from the spending program are
backing the measure.
One of those feeling the heat is
Rep. John J. O'Connor 3D., N. V.
Following the reading of the Presi-
dents message in the House, O'Con-
nor, chairman of the rules COM
mittee which last session withheld
the wages and hours bill from con-
sideration by the House, let loose
with some choice language express
ing his Tory sentiments.
The following day he wrote a
letter to VIM. Green, president of
the A. F. of L., expressing his fond
ness for the President and his pro-
gram and declaring that the only
criticism he has was that the pro-
gram did not go far enough.
Tory senators and representatives
have been cautious in their COM
ment on the message and the Presi-
dents speech. The general tenor OF
their remark has been that the de-
preston is all the Presidents fault,
anyhow, but they have %refrained
from the usual denunciation and
have suggested no alternative.
The general backwardness of the
Tory press was revealed in the edi-
toriaI comment which chung to cry
of Leave business alone" The les
son taught them in the election OF
1886 apparently failed to stick.

Criggs Wins Fight
Ate. M. T.C. Camp
Knocked His Opponent Down
Several Times In Feature
Match At Fort Bragg.

Last week West Jefferson's star
boxer, Richard "Bo" Griggs, showed
the boys at the Citizens Military
Training Camp at Fort Bragg few
tricks about the art Of fighting and
the power of a Blue Ridge mountain
arm and fist when he floored his OPP
ponent a dozen or more times in the
feature bout of the matches.
Here's the way the story appeared
in ''The Spasm'', regular camp
publication which "Bo" sent to Ed
Barr this week, described the battle
royal:
"The sixth and final bout of the
evening proved to be the most ex-
citing affair of the entire card. It
had the crowd standing on their feet
and yelling at the top of their voices
throughout the entire fight It was
between Cobb of Battery Cd, weigh
ing 1853 lbs, and Griggs of Battery
"B", weighing 1853 lbs. It was a
slugging match from the beginning.
In the first round Cobb had the edge
by knocking Griggs to the floor
twice, both times for counts. In the
second round, both men found out
how it felt to kiss the canvas but
Griggs seemed to land the better
blows, and kept Cobb in daze. In
the second round both men seemed
to be almost knocked out part OF
the time. In the third round Griggs
kept Cobb continually taking the
county of nine, but Cobb was a
game fighter and kept coming back
for more. Your reporter can not
give an accurate number of knock
downs due to much excitement and
lack of arithmetic. The refree stop
ed the bout in the final stages OF the
third round when Cobb was knocked
through the ropes. Griggs won by
Knockout"
