We might say something about the
attendance at this contest. The peo
ple of Plentywood are always splen
did about patronizing school doings,
but when it confes to Declamatory
contests there seems to be little inter
est. This event is a big one In the
lives of those taking part and it is of
great value to them and the audience
has so much to do with the spirit in
which a reading is given. We invite
you to give your encouragement to
the pupils who are trying to do their
best in this line.

On Friday afternoon the school band
played for the Assembly. On Mon
day evening they appeared before the
P. T. A. They played six selections
with a finish which was almost sur
prising for so new an organization.
You will all remember that the Band
was started late in the fall of 192 1
under the direction of Miss Scott, and
did very well for a first year. The
Band lost several good members thru
graduation last year, so that there is
much new material in the Band this
year. However, only one member will
be lost this year, so we can look for
ward to a fine band next year. Mr.
Behm deserves credit for the work
that the band has accomplished this
The band will appear in con
cert at the Orpheum Theatre on May
17, 1929. There will be instrumental
numbers at this program also.
On Friday evening this week the
Seniors will give their play, "The Go

PEP RALLIES
It is true that there is no effect
without a cause, but to find the cause
in most cases constitutes a real prob
lem. In all kinds of athletics there
is always someone who breaks train
ing rules and then it can not be the
fault of the student body that a play
er or team is weak,
hand much of the failure we have in
games is that the student body does
not give the right support.
The team that knows that the stu
dent body is behind it will put up the
best fight for it wants to prove that
it is worthy of the trust that is placed
in it. A successful team is not the
team that makes the most baskets
during the game. The team backed
by its student body displaying always
the very finest type of sportsmanship
is the good team. It is hard to be a
good loser, but it is the thing which
really shows whether or not there is
real sportsmanship.
The Plentywood schools have shown
good support during the past year ev
en though our team lost most of the
games. It is good sportsmanship that
we want more than anything else, and
if we turn out to give the team a
lusty backing we know that they will
do their best.

CONGRESS ROWS
OVER TARIFF REVISION
Washington, April 27.—Muffled
thunder emanated from the house
ways and means committee room to
day, where the tariff bill is being
made ready for consideration in the
house early next week.
Both houses were in recess until
Monday. Ihe senate is ready for an
other week of oratory over the deben
ture plan of farm relief but in the
end probably will reject this and pass
a bill much like the one the house
adopted.
The house committee is finishing
up six weeks of work in executive
session, and while its members have
denounced every "leak" of the pro
ceedings, authentic information has
been obtained indicating a strenuous
contest is developing over such vital
rates as sugar, wool and hides.
Wool 31 to 34.
It was reported on good authority
the sugar tariff which reaches every
breakfast table may be boosted from
$2.20 a hundred pounds to $3. The
report has been sufficiently authenti
cated to cause the Cuban Ambassador
Ferrara to deliver a strong speech in
Philadelphia today, denouncing the
proposed increase.
Wool may be boosted from 31 cents
cents; cotton and wool textiles con
to 34 cents; com from 15 cents to 25
cents; cotton and wool textiles
siderably above their present
hides, bricks, cement and
con
rates;
, ,, . M manganese
materially increased and lumber
unchanged on the free list.
These previsions can and may be
altered before the bill is presented to
the house probably next Tuesday.
Democrats Split
All reports, indicate clearly a
heavy tariff battle is in prospect, de
mocrats are split ove** the issues and
have announced their anger over dot
to
being admitted to secre ^
meetings where someiputai ofthe bill
are being written. The U usua l sec
recy has resulted in. c ^a g s that nu
merous deals are ^ e "? g ™ ade between
sectional representatives, a practise
known as "log rolling" whereby rep
resentatives of various, sections form
an alliance to put over mutually bene
ficial rates. .
Senate republicans already have
announced their hearings are to be
secret although they do not expect to
begin work on the bill for a month,
They say they want to frame a bill
which can be taken to the floor of
both houses and put through virtual
ly without amendment, in order that
there will be no log-rolling on the
floor. j

38 Against debenture
op on.
Washington, April 29.—-The senate j J
iines up 53 to 38 against the deben
ture farm relief plan to which Presi
dent Hoover is so strongly opposed, ;
it was revealed in a private pool to
day as hot debate over the issue got
under way in the upper house of
congress.
The poll shows 4o republicans and
8 democrats against «.he tariff boun
ty provision; 29 democrats and 9 re
publicans in favor of it, three sena
tors doubtful and one absent. It.
shows conclusively that while the
dispute over Mr. Hoover's contest
with the senate is close, it is not
close enough to be very doubtful.
Known to President
The figures are known to the pres- j
ident and the democrats who both are ,
exerting extraordinary efforts to
swing wavering
spective sides before the vote is tak
en probably next Thursday. Mr.
Hoover has called many of the form
erly doubtful ones to the White
House. A dinner was held last week
for two senators who are in the doubts
ful list on the measure but neither
senator, it is learned has since given
evidence of a desire to vote with the
administration.
Seldom since the League of Nations
fight in the senate has such pressure
been exerted, either on the side of
the White House or on the part of
the opposition in the senate. Sena
tors have concluded Mr. Hoover is
vitally interested in the defeat of the
debenture plan, and democrats on the
.other hand are determined to make
a party record in favor of it.
The poll shows Sen, Nye of North
Dakota and Capper of Kansas against
debenture, and Shipstead of Minneso
ta absent.

ate agriculture committee had not
printed the testimony of two agricul
tural department experts favorable to
the debenture plan so strongly de
nounced by the president.
Publication of the testimony was
demanded by Senator Joseph T. Rob
mson, democratic floor leader, who
said their opinions "would probably
have more weight than the head of
the department (Mr. Hyde) whp has
had very little experience in agricul
ture, but wno has been an automobile
dealer."
The upshot of the debate was that
Chairman McNary announced he
would call his agriculture committee
together tomorrow to decide whether
the testimony should be printed. The
j matter is important not only because
it may show a conflict between agri
cultural experts on one hand and
I H y de and Hoover on the other, but
also because the champ ions of the
debenture plan intend bo use this evi
j J ence in their fight against the ad
ministration in the senate.

Highway Commission at Helena, last
Friday for the purpose of objecting

present at the hearing as Commis

According to the report of the com

the reason that a contract had U.
let for its consruction, but that
County board should be compelled J
give a road to the north.
The undisputed facts disproved tin
contention. The contract was let j*.
fore any right of way had been se
cured. Where roads cross IndijJ
lands the law requires that a sunn I
of such line of road be made and st>|
mitted to the Indian Superintended
who shall view the proposed lined
road and either approve or disapprod
of it. No such steps were ever taker«
before the contract was let and in fact!
the proposed line of road has nevd
been formally approved by Supers I
tendent Eggers, who has at all tind
contended that It would be much bet
ter for all concerned to construct it
on the section line rather than fond
it over Indian lands, threeby causiri
great injury and inconvenience. It
was also admitted by the Commisa«
and its engineers that said line t!
road had been changed at least om
since the contract was let.
