I coNTENUING THE HARDIN TRIBUNE AND THE HARDIN HERALD VOLUME XVIII, NO. It. HARDIN, BIG HORN COUNTY, MONTANA, FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1925. A VOTE FOR A. H. ROUSH IS A VOTE FOR REAL ECONOMY Since the last issue of the TribuneekieralcL ano0er candi- dabe for trustee of School Dis- trict ii-Ff has filed. The can- didates, whose names appear on the official ballot are A. H. Roush and . B. 11. McCarty. Voters will note that this is not the retiring trustee, J. E. Mc- Carthy, who declined to again be a candidate. Unfortunately, Mr. McCarty's supporters, in publishing mat- ter in furtherance of his can- didacy, are showing consider- able recklessness and extrava- gance of statement and a bitter partisan spirit.. Mr. Roush, having made no denunciation o f the present school board and apparently re- serving his decisions on school 'natters until he becomes famil- iar with the facts, is charged with being the \administration\ candidate. Being open-minded, neutral, so far as factions are concerned, and favorable both to good schools and economical administration, he is attacked as- standing for inefficiency and extravagance. A bitter and un- truthful tirade against the pres- ent board is then entered into, and Mr. eIrCarty is put forth as the man be put a stop to the p r es en t members' \incompe- tence and extravagance.\ With all due respect to B. H. McCarty, who is a good citi- zen, we must point out that A. H. Roush is well known for JURY TRIMS NOW ON IN THE DISTRICT COURT A two-day session of the dis- trict court was held Thursday and Friday with Judge 0. F. Goddard, presiding, and M. E. Hawkins reporting the proceed- ings. Thursday forenoon Leoeard Jackson and Dan Barry Were arraigned on a charge of burg- larizing the buildings on the ranch of Fred Cope. They en- tered pleas of not guilty and the court fixed their bonds at 61,000 each, in default of which they are confined in the county jail. Henry Kunze, having served the jail portion of his sentence for bootlegging and being un- able to pay the fine of $200, upon aplication of the court was granted a suspension of the fine until next fall, upon his giving assurance that he would be able to pay the same at that time, and upon the further con- dition that he properly conduct himself during suspension As the jail sentence of Floyd Tandy will be served on April 6, he applied to the court for a suspension of the fine of $200 imposed upon him, and upon his assurance to the court that he would get himself a job and \lay off of is moonshine stuff,\ and pay his fine as soon as possible, together with con- ducting himself as a respectable citizen, his request was granted upon condition that he also file with the sheriff a pauper's oath. Judge Goddard on Thursday handed down his decision in the case of .1. I. Davis vs. W. V. Johnson Cattle Co., tried March 9 and taken under advisement. wherein Davis sought to recover a judgment for $25,000, claiming that the Johnson Cattle Co. as- sumed mortgage on some land sold by Young to Davis and by Davis to the Johnson Cattle Co. The court rendered judgment in favor of the Johnson Cattle Co. and assessed the costs against Davis. C. P. Gillette represented Davis while F: I). Tanner was at- torney for the Johnson Cattle Co. Thursday's afte7rnqon session vial - &idea to ailfuMeTit of a motion for a new trial in the case of State vs. Prank Bertot, convicted at the recent term of ormrt of the crime of posses4ing intoxinating liquor and possess - in. im.lemen . fo - his leaning toward economy in private andpu_pc enditurek and that, unlike his opponent, he has proved his merit in his long experience -12 years as county assessor and county commissioner—in helping to ad- minister large public affairs. His public spirit and the num- ber of his children in the pub- lic schools are sufficient assur- ance that he will have a proper regard for the schools. His fair- ness and conservatism are a guarantee that he will work constructively for the chil- dren and the taxpayers. Be- cause of his character, ability and freedom from revengeful- ness and factionalism, all groups can consistently sup- port Mr. Roush for the sake of good schools, economy, and a united community. TWENTY-FIVE HIVES OF BEES GO UP IN FLAMES Last Saturday afternoon, while a neighbor was burning oir some dead grass on an adjoining piece of land, the apiary of B. J. Klein- hesselink, about three miles south of town, suffered a con- siderable loss. The neighbor, thinking the fire was about out, left it. Shortly afterward a heavy wind came up and fanned the dying enebers into a blaze, which spread to the Kleinhes- selink bee stands. L. E. Dusen- berry of Sb. Xavier happened by on his way to Hardin and brought the *e'en of the fire to town. Mr. lteinhesselink, who is deputy assessor, J. H. Kier, County Treasurer R. P. Ross, C. Al Brotherson, A. E. Bollum, A. E. Calahan and Carl Bowman, all but Mr. Ross bee -keepers, jumped into their cars and mo- tored to the scene, and in a short time extinguished the flames. Not, however, until 25 of the 185 colonies of bees had been destroyed. The loss is about $300, with no insurance. Had it not been for Mr. Dusen- berry's timely passing, the en- tire bee plant would have been destroyed. BASEBALL BOA'S ORGAN- IZE FOR COMING SEASON A meeting of baseball fans was held at the T. J. Freer auto repair shop last evenilig at which plans were made for the coming season. T. J. Freer, who managed the team so suc- cessfully last season, was again chosen manager. A ball team will be gotten together at once and practice playing commen- ced, and it will not be long until lovers o f the g r -e a t national game will again be rooting for the home team. The motion is based oq the al- leged insufficiency of the evi- dence to sustain the — verdict. Louis J. O'Marr o f Sheridan, Wyo., counsel for the defendant, maintaining that there was no evidence other than suspicious circumstances to convict the defendant with either possessing of the premises where the li- quor and still were found, or with ownership of the imple- ments and product of manufac- ture. County Attorney T. H. Burke opposed the motion. The court drew a jury venire of 30 men from jury box No. 3 for the trial of two civil actions of Herbert Once against the Holly Sugar Corporation, grow- ing out of an alleged conversion of certain personal property be- longing to Once as the result of the foreclosure by the sugar conepany of a chattel mortgage. Attorneys F. D. Tanner and 1.. E - .• Haven are appearing for Once and T. H. Burke is attor- ney for the sugar company. A jury was secured this formic:ern and when court adjourned hIs afternoon until 9110 to -morrow mornin. th- al • a •••-•-•••••-••-•-••••••-•-•-••••••••••.••••••••••-....... • What Is Back of \Economy\ Talk In School A ssaut A series of attacks upon the school system of this district (17H) culminated this week in an unusually im- passioned broadside. In these attacks an extraordinary ignorance or disregard of facts is manifested. Presum- ably the intent is to stir up an hysteria by means of which a small but aggressive group may have its way in the ap- proaching school election. Some of the mis-representations are serious enough to require exposure. Contrary to easily accessible records the charge of extravagance in school expenditures is made. The reports of the state superintendent of public instruction and of the county superintendent show that the cost in this dis- trict is less than the average in the county and in the state. The property valuation per enrolled child has steadily declined for several years. The purchasing power of the dollar has also declined since 1918. Yet the opera- tion cost per pupil per day in District 17H has actually been reduced during this period. Although the district valuation decreased last year the school levy was reduced ) one and one-half mills, from 18 1 / 2 u1ls to 17, five of which is for the interest and sinking fund. This could easily -- h — ave - beea Warned ãT The county offi While the city of Billings and many hundreds of school districts in the state have had to vete large special levies in addition to what may be levied by trustees, School Dis- trict 17H has always lived within its income and has never had to submit the question of an extra levy. If there is anything that can be established to the credit of District 17H during the last few years it is economy. But none are so blind as those who will not see. A great fuss is made over the bonded indebtedness. Why is District 17H singled out for abuse in this connecs Lion when its ratio of indebtedness to valuation compares so favorably with other local govenunental units? The bonded indebtedness has been voted by the people from time to time for the erection and furnishing of needed school buildings, which they still own and the use of which they have had, and is not chargeable to the school administration in any way. No indebtedness has been in- curred in any other manner, except for the loss of $23,000 in the bank failure. The statement that the sinking fund has been used for current expenses and when the bonds mature there will be no funds with which to \meet them\ is utterly false and unfair. Every &Ear - that — Tias accimulated in the interest and sinking fund has been safe -guarded for its proper purpose, namely the payment of interest and the retirement of bonds. A two thousand dollar bond was taken up last year. Orders were issued at the meeting of the school board about one month ago for paying off $7,000 in bonds this spring, making a total of $9,000 in bonds to be taken up this year. With the exception of one school district, this is the best record made by any gov- ernmental unit in this county. The statement that the district is running deeper and deeper into debt is equally false; in fact, the opposite is the truth. What good purpose can be served among out - home people or among others who may be thinking of settling here by the circulation of such sensational and incorrect statements? The charge of excessive supervision is industriously circulated. On the average, one stiperhsor to every 22 teachers is said to be employed in school systems throughout the United States. District 17H _has only one employee, the superintendent, who is available for supervision and administration instead of teaching, although there are nearly 40 teachers in the system, around 5,000 people in the school district, an aera of 3500 square miles, and a great diversity of conditions. In addition to his duties as superintendent and administrator the present superintend- ent, S. R. Logan, is also principal of the grade schools of Hardin and truant officer. As compared to other good schools the schools of District 17H are under -manned rather than over -manned. From the standpoint of salary, the School Board Journal for April shows that the average salary for superintendent throughout the United States in districts having a population of 2,500 to 5,000 is several hundred dollars in excess of the salary paid here. When you think about it, why should not the public business of education be entitled to a superintendent as well as fac- tories, mines, sugar companies, and other private business? The same people pay for it in both cases, although usually at a rauch_higher rate in the case of private business. Enemies of public education have sadly over -used and mis-used the \economy\ dodge. Queer things are often done in the name of economy, especially when it is noted that some of those paying practically no taxes are the ones (*ling the most \hollering.\ VOLUME - V, NO. 311. BEET GROWERS GRANTED PART OF THEIR DEMANDS The announcement that the and feel that they are entitled I Great Western Sugar' company to in this agreemeitt, they have • ,Tand the Mountain Skies Beet gaine - d enuckeheadeseteeeziettewift lee. able to maintain a solid organization w i th prospects bright for the bringing about of a more equable contract by another year. Last year some con- cessions were granted to the organized grows by the sugair factories—with 'the new con - traces containing further con- cessions this year and the o e r- ganization grow lag stronger with each succeeding year, the growers o f sugar beets wile ultimately eeceive their just share of the profits of the in- dustry. While this seetlement h as come late for the growers in Nebraska and Colorado, where other crops have been seeded in the place of beets, inch - cations here are that. the or- ganized growers will put forth , every effort to increase the acreage, insuring the factory people enough beets to give them a profitable run this fall. The final agreement reached, if accepted by the growers of the Montana district, will in- sure the growers an initial payment of $6.50 for their beets. the elimination of the fire and strike clause, recognition of the association by the sugar com- pany and the collection by the sugar company of 2 cents per ton from the growers to be turned into the association as membership dues to the or- gan ization. iGeowere' association h are. fi- nally reached an agreement on the 1925 contract at _ Denver, Colorado, on Tuesday evening of this week is very gratifying 143 the local growers of sugar beets and to the community at large here. While the growers i n the Yellowstone d i s trict have not as yo passed upon the compromise, it is expected that they will vote to accept it at their meeting which will be held tomorrow as they have been acting in concert and maintaining a solid front with the Colorado organization in all controversies with the sugar company.

TERRY MITCHELL WINS OVER MOORE AT FORSYTH Terry Mitchell, Ilardin's cham- pion. exponent of the manly I art, accompanied by Joe Curry, his trainer, and C. A. Pattison, returned Wednesday in the lat- ter's car from Forsyth, where last Saturday night he won a victory with the padded mitts over Rex Moore of Miles City in a scheduled ten -round bout • under the auspices of the For- . . syth post of the American Le- gion. Terry knocked Moore - down for the count of nine in :- the first round. The Rosebud '. County Record, in its write-up ,' ot the affair, gives this nice : complimentary mention of Ter- . ry: \Terry Mitchell, of tHardin, delighted Ids supporters with his clean tactics, taking the , best that Rex Moore, of Miles • City, could deliver, with a smile . and always coining back for more. Terry is a gentleman in the ring and out, and won a host of admirers by his exhibition here Saturday night. Fect of the matter is, Terry's about the LUCKY ACCIDENT ON HIGH SCHOOL GROUNDS Last Friday an accident oc- curred on the athletic field at the high school. Edwin Bulls was accidentally struck on the head by the twelve -pound shot as it was thrown by Paul Gilli- land, who with others, was practicing. He was knocked down and later showed some signs of concussion, but seemed be as sound as ever Monday morning. To every one this accident was very regrettable. Certain- ly it should not be used as a pretext to stir up blind feeling against athletics or against the school. T h e \dangerous play- thing\ was the regulation round iron ball known as a \shot\, which is used in all high echooLs and colleges and in many grade schools. There are no \chains attached\ nor \handles and never were. Because the \hammer which does 'have handles, is regarded as some- what dangerous, it is not in - chided in the athletic equip- ment and the hammer throw is not included among the ath- letic events in this district. Every reasonable effort i s made to prevent accidents a t school, but they will ,occasion- ally occur just as they occur at home and on the street. Bas- ketball, track, climbing stairs, riding horseback, driving cars, eating with knives, and many other indoor and outdoor sports involve considerable risk.
