MONTANA EDITORS AT GREAT FALLS CONVENTION
ii
HE 42nd annual convention of the
Montana State Press association
held at Great Falls. Sept. 15, 16 and
17, proved to be one of the most
pleasant and profitable sessions that or
ganization has ever held. Joe Gehrett,
co-owner and editor of the Laurel Out
look. was elected president for the ensu
ing yeai, and the place of the next meet
ing was left to the discretion of the ex
ecutive committee. Other officers chosen
were: R. G. Linebarger, of the Havre
Promoter, first vice president; T. F. Ruck
er of the Phillips County News. Malta,
second vice president; Leon Shaw, gen
eral manager of the Billings Gazette;
third vice president; H. Stanley Thurs
ton. Judith Basin County Press, Stan
ford. re-elected secretary-treasurer.
Among the outstanding accomplish
ments of the convention was the decision
to seek greater effectiveness in the or
ganization and work of the association so
that its purposes may be the sooner
achieved and so that the interests of the
country publisher and printer may be
advanced.
Through the adoption of the report of
a special committee the association de
cided to obtain a full time field secretary
and the recommendation that at least
$1,200 be raised at once to launch this
activity was acepted. Subscriptions
amounting to $965 were received before
the conclusion of the convention, from
T
■among those attending as follows;
Anaconda Standard, Livingston Enter
prise. Missoulian, Great Falls Tribune,
Billings Gazette. Montana Newspaper
association. Western Newspaper union
•and the Phillips County News, each $100,
Joseph Gehrett, $40, and five subscrip
tions of $25 each—H. Stanley Thurston
of Stanford, O. H. P. Shelley of Red
Lodge, Dan Whetstone of Cut Bank, H.
Squires of Harlowton and E. A. Jones
of Broadus.
In general the resolutions adopted
voted to call the attention of congress to
the need for highways to serve the Yel
lowstone and Glacier national parks,
made a plea for home industries and
condemned federal competition with pri
vate printers.
After much discussion as to the best
method to be followed in obtaining a
new printing law which would be fair
to the printers and satisfactory to the
county commissioners, it was voted that
a committee from the association meet
with the county commissioners at their
state convention in Great Falls next Jan
uary.
This action came after the association
had accepted the invitation of the coun
ty commissioners to confer with them on
the printing problem. The invitation
came in a telegram. It was generally
agreed that the interests of the county
printers as wel las those of the counties
would be best served by a mutual under
standing of the subject and by obtaining
a law which would be acceptable to both.
Ultimately it was decided to let the
committee proceed as there will be an
other convention before the next legisla
tive session. The committee consists of
H. Stanley Thurston of Stanford, Harry
Lay of Lewistown and W. L. Taylor of
Great Falls.
This discussion, which came when the
legislative program was being considered,
developed strongly the contention that
the present county printing code has be
come obsolete, many of the items having
been removed from the code's provisions
through revisions in forms made by the
state board of examiners, and that the
situation has been reached where be
cause of competition on the one hand
-and the bargaining of some counties on
the other, some bidders for county print
ing contracts give big discounts from the
code prices and make up the loss by ad

E. G. Leiphelmer, editor of the Ana
conda Standard and retiring president of
the association, in his address, urged up
on the press of Montana the opportunity
which exists for it to be of service to the
state.
In Montana's soil, in her climate, in
her need of population, in the produc
tion of greater wealth and in cementing
the people of the state together with a
common purpose in view lies a work
which beckons the press. Mr. Leiphelmer
declared. He referred to the past achieve
ments of Montana newspapers as strong
and powerful factors contributing to the
forward impulses by which the state has
been advanced. Without a press, he as
serted, there could not have been real
ized the development through which
Montana has come to its present position
among the states.
The entertainment features of the
convention were unique and numerous.
On Thursday night the members were
the guests at a "New York Night Club"
cabaret put on in the palm room of the
Hotel Rainbow for them by L. B, (Tip)
O'Neill, president of the Montana chap
ter of the Rocky Mountain Oil and Gas
association. On Friday night the annual
dinner was held and took the form of
"gridiron" dinner, which was greatly en
joyed. After the dinner the association
members were guests at a dance given by
the Great Northern railroad.
On Saturday afternoon the members
were taken through the copper and zinc
smelters of the Anaconda Copper Mining
company and later were treated to a bas
ket lunchen by the Montana Power com
pany at the Big falls of the Missouri
river, followed by a dance there.

THIS YEAR THAN FOR LAST,
COMMISSION FIGURES SHOW

sources Over State; Montana Stockmen
Win Right to Ship Over G. N. Any Day
(By Our Helena Correspondent)
Interstate and intrastate shipments
originating in Montana show a de
crease of but 65 cars in July, 1927,
under the corresponding number of
1926, according to figures compiled
in the offices of the Montana rail
road commission, 22,055 cars were
shipped this year as compared to 22,120
in July, 1926. A material Increase is
noted in railroad shipments of flour
and mill stuffs, wheat, horses, wool,
lumber, copper ore, cement and plaster
and petroleum refined oil, while a de
crease is seen In cattle, petroleum crude
oil, implements, commercial coal and
fruit.
Business prosperity of Montana Is re
vealed in the annual statement of 30
build
State
and loan associations, issued by
taminer Jay G. Larson. Assets
of the 30 associations on June 30. 1927,
were $16,337,507.84. as against $13,738,
000 on the same date in 1926, or an in
crease of $2,59^,507.84. In 1920, when
the first statement was prepared on the
associations, assets reached only $3,600,
000; in 1924 they had climbed to $11,000,
000, and in 1926, to $13,000,000.

were $14,357,427.04; real estate contracts,
$404,824.81; office buildings, furniture
and fixtures, $253,347.15, and cash on
hand.in banks, $472,495.92.
Montana stockmen residing along the
Great Northern railway may ship their
cattle to eastern markets any day of the
week, according to word received by the
Montana railroad commission. A series
complaints from stockmen against
the railway company in the matter of
stock loading days have been received
by the state commission. The plan as
outlined and adhered to by the railway
company was to load only on certain
days of the week in each district, then
consolidate the shipments into a stock
train.
The company contended that this
would give the stockmen better service
and much time would be saved, while
on the other hand, stockmen took the
position that the conso 1 'dated shipments
flooded the markets -ntf materially af
fected the prices. The stockmen further
held that in bringing their stock a long
distance to the shipping point, they
should be allowed to place it in cars
immediately and not be compelled to
hold over until the day specified for
that point.
The commission was advised by the
Great Northern that stock would be
loaded any day of the week satisfactory
to the shipper, and with this the com
plaint is satisfied.
District sessions of the Montana Edu
cation association at Bozeman, Miles City
and Great Falls next month will be ad
dressed by five speakers from eastern
universities, according to R. J. Cunning
ham, executive secretary of the associa
tion. The speakers, besides Payne Tem
