Pay Day Plea Issued
In Effort 10 Reach
Symphony Quota
S53 900 More Needed
To Save Orchestra;
Army Unit Leods

Federal workers, drawing Their
midmonthly pay, today we're con-
fronted with an appeal for donas
tlons to the National Symphony
Orchestra by A. z. Giegengack,
public printer.
Mr. Giegengack, who is chairman
OF the symphony sustaining fund
campaigns Government Committee,
issued a statement pointing out that
his group so far had raised 1928 per
cent of their quota of $1,000 and
expressing the belief that this poor
showing might be attributable TO
the fact that until now there had
been no Government pay day since
the drive began February 3.
For this reason, Mr.. Giegengack
said, "I hold out great hope that
the more than 10000 Federal work.
ers in the city and nearby will give
to the symphony, no matter how
small the amount.
Below Last Year.
He said he was somewhat dis
couraged to know that the Govern
ment's Committee returns, as re-
ported Thursday, are approximately
10 per cent less than they were at
a corresponding point in the drive
last year.
Meanwhile, other campaign work
ers were analyzing the difficulties of
the current drive. 1t having been
determined to extend the campaign
through Thursday. after it was
learned that only s54. .59013 of the
needed s107 500 had been pledged.
committee chairmen met last night
to try TO get at the source of trou-

Told by Walter Bruce Howe CAM

tire quota was made available the
National Symphony would not 60
on, volunteer workers are confront
ed with the task of bringing in more
than $4,000 in seven days. This,
they know, means that they will
have to be about twice as successful
during the coming week as they
were during the past fortnight.
Army Most Successful.
Since there will be no further re-
ports until the day the campaign
ends, symphony officials have
broken down Thursdays figures in
an effort to analyze the progress of
each of the nine soliciting groups.
This indicates that the Army Com
mittee. with Sl4765l, or 9845 per
cent, of its $500 quota in hand, has
been most successful.

ENGLAND NEARING
THE ZERO HOUR

In military circles, the feeling
that Hitler will soon make his SUI
preme effort to defeat England is
almost unanimous. Time is working
with Britain. Hitler, the officers
think, must win this year or GER
tainly lose.
American correspondents in Ger
many report feeling of complete
and apparently sincere confidence
on the part Of the Reich officials.
England, some of them say, will be
finished inside six months. Hitler is
supposed to be perfecting his plans
and organization now. The Ger
mans think England can be broken
by destroying her shipping. by
greater air raids, and finally, by in
vasion when British morale has
been weakened
The British are convinced that,
with unstinted American aid. thew
can't lose. They say they have some
new weapons which will prove
highly unpleasant surprises for in
vaders. The Germans still talk about
new weapins, too So far, however.
despite all such talk, this war hasn't
produced anything but improve
ments on old weapons.

Sugar beet growers in territories
served by the Great Northern rail-
way produced upwards of 100000
tons of sugar beets in 1910. an in
crease of more than 100000 tons
over the preceding year. according
to E. B. Duncan. general agricul-
tural development agent of the
company.
In these same districts. records
show. farmers and feeders placed
some 100000 sheep and lambs on
feed during the fall and early win
ter months, utilizing beet tops, pulp
and beet molasses in the feed ra-
tons. More than $4,000 head of
cattle also went into feed lots in
these beet-producing centers.
Census figures for 1910 reveal
that farm populations in these su-
gar beet areas increased during the
last 10 years and with few excep-
tons towns and cities within the
districts showed marked growth
This healthy condition. in the opin-
ion Of Mr.. Duncan, can be attribut-
ed directly or indirectly to the SUI
gar beet industry
Sugar beets, a non-surpluS crop,
are playing an important role in
our program to stabilize agricul-
ture in Great Northern territory,

a period of years they have not only
proved profitable cash crop for
producers and also stimulated live
stock feeding, but have increased

License Revenue
Would Be Used For
Pensions and Relief

Representative J. Hugo Aronsor
of Glacier county is one of the four
Republican co-Sponsors of proposed
legislation at the state assembly in
Helena this week which would lie.
galize virtually every form OF
gambling under the jurisdiction OF
the state liquor control board.
Under licensing system, rev.
enues would be used to increase
old age pensions and add to the poor
funds.
One bill would provide for the
licensing of slot machines, bank
nights. wire rooms. pinball o,
marble gameS and punchboards;
establish license fees. and provide
penalties for evasions.
The other bill would cover roul.
cite and practically every game
played with dice or cards and would
prescribe conditions of license fees
under which such games might be
allowed to operate.
Under the proposed bills. in addi-
ton to issuing licenses and acting
in supervisory capacity. the state
liquor control board would be au-
thorized to make. issue and pro-
mulgate such rules and regulations
. as may be necessary for carry
ing out provisions" of the act.
Both bills would provide for pay
ment of some of the license fees
on basis of county population. For
the purpose of administering the
acts. counties would be divided int
five categories, those of more than
10000 population, those having be-
tween $4,000 and 10000. those hav-
ing between 10000 and $4,000, those
between 5000 and 10000, and those
of less than 5000.
The bill covering slot machines.
bank nights, wire rooms. pinball
and marble games and punchboards
provides MT only for licensing of
machines used, but also for licens-
ing of those who have any business
connection with them.
Concerns operating slot machines
or pinball machines as either own
ers or lessons would be required to
pay an operators license fee of 500
yearly in counties of more than TO-
900 population and $50 annually in
counties of less than 10000 popula-
ton.
Concerns similarly engaged in op-
Grating punchboards would be re-
quired to pay annual license fees OF
$50, without regard to population of
the counties in which they operate
