| Tuesdays session was quite an
other thing. The Governor delivered
his message early in the afternoon
hackles on Democratic necks began
to rise, and many Republican party
members were seemingly left speech
less by what Aronson had to say
By the time the days session had
adjourned the air was electrified.
The Democrats, for the most part,
were temporarily putting aside their
feuds with fellow Democrats, sensing
real campaign issues in the making
for the gubernatorial election year
of 1856. Republicans weren't saying
much - for publication - but, oh
brother, some of the things they were
thinking! Nothing would do but that
the Governor give with a fortnight
explanation and do his level-best to
get the party off the spot he'd put
it on with the school people of the
state. Many of them, like their Demo-
cratic colleagues, too, were not happy
over the Governors recommendation
that the gasoline tax be increased
another cent, that gross vehicle
weight fees on farm trucks be in
creased over two hundred per cent,
while GVW fees on heavy commercial
trucks be raised only a mere 16 per
cent.

SHELDON TO HEAD
RAILROAD UNIONS

0. A. Sheldon, Havre, legislative
representative of the Order of Rail-
road Conductors, and dean of the
rail union lobby in Helena, has been
elected chairman of the Joint rail-
road brotherhoods lobby for the 1866
Legislature. Sheldon's election took
place at a meeting of rail union rep
resentatives in Helena Tuesday.
Other joint lobby officers are E. F.
English, Havre, of Railway Clerks,
vice chairman; O. A. Schmechel,
Whitefish, Locomotive Firemen &
Enginemen, secretary treasurer. Fay
Egge, Butte, Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen, is chairman of the
lobby's board of directors. Board
members are J. T. Kelly, Engineers,
and Phil McCarvel, Maintenance of
Way.
Purpose of Tuesdays meeting was
to organize and to establish policy
for the brotherhoods for the legisla-
tive session. These six men will make
up a six-man lobby to look out for
the welfare of rail workers as well
as for the welfare of the general pub
lie.
The joint lobbying group has been
very active during previous sessions
and the results have proven worth

"a situation which closes the doors

sons of independent wealth makes a

this is not conducive to the welfare

here Is your chance to show up
the braggart, because making
those liners is easier than whip
ping up a cake-even from a
mix.
All you need for the job is a
block of wood which must be the
exact size of the liner, some sheet
copper which you can buy from
| a hardware store, a hammer and
the kitchen scissors.
To make the job easier, first
make d pattern from a piece
of heavy wrapping paper. Fol-
low the detail shown in the il
lustration. Lay the wood block
in the center of the paper and
draw a line around it. Then.
without allowing it to slide, turn
lit on its side and draw a line
around that. Do the same thing
with the two other sides and
both ends. Extend each of these
four sides one-qaurter inch as
shown and fill in the corners.
Cut out the paper pattern and
fold it around the wood block as
shown. If you have made an
error. it is easy to make a new
pattern. From this pattern. you
can determine the amount of
copper that you will need. This
copper should be No. "a gauge.
Builders use 1t for flashing over
windows. This copper is very soft.
It can be cut with any large
scissors and easily bent with the
fingers.

is done, as all you have to do
now is to cut out the copper
following the pattern. Fold the
two long sides up first. Next. fold

Senate of House Bill No. 554 which
would increase the borrowing power
of the county from $4,000 to $780,
900.
when this bill was introduced
on April 4, it called for an increase
from $4,000 to $150,000. When the
bill was passed in the House an
amendment was introduced doubl-
ing that maximum to 100000. The
situation is the most alarming l
can recall in the financial circum-
stances of a county of this state.
81 have learned that when the
Levy Court approved its last pay
roll on April 25 there was only SAB
left in the county treasury, with
many bills on hand being held up
for lack of funds. This situation has
been brought about by mismanage-
ment by the Democratic-contrOlled
Levy Court of Sussex County for
the past six years. When the Levy
Court changed political control in
1949 there was cash surplus of
$23S,519 and the tax rate was only
40 cents per 800 of assessed valua-
ton. At the end of this fiscal year,
on June 80, the unpaid bills will
amount to approximately $240,000.
During the six-yeary period the
Levy Court of Sussex County has
raised the tax rate to the maximum
of so cents per 800 assessed valua-
ton. 1t has had the benefit of a
collection from an
estate amounting to $161,761. In
less than six years the Democrat
managed Levy Court of Sussex
County has mismanaged financial
affairs of the county to the extent
that it has spent nearly 100000
more than it has received in reve-
nue., even though revenues have in
creased by approximately 60 per
cent"
