STATE COLLEGE TO RESUME
WORK SECOND OF JANUARY
Influenza Epidemic Throughout State
Makes Immediate Opening
inadvisabIe

observation-disclosures Of the influenza
epidemic throughout the state Of Mon
tana the faculty of the Montana State
college thinks it unwise to ask students
of the institution to return at the
present time to resume their courses
of study. The "flu" situation at the
college has entirely cleared up. There
are a few cases of scarlet fever on
the campus, which are under strict
quarantine. However, certain amount
of risk would be run in spreading the
epidemic by bringing students from all
parts of the state.
There are only four weeks left of the
fall quarter of the college year and
even though the faculty of the insti-
tuition had decided to open at once
the work has been too demoralized
to make it very much to the advan-
tage of the students to return. At the
beginning of the winter quarter, JAN
uary 2, students who were in attend
ance the first part Of the fall quarter
may continue their courses where they
left off, while new students will be
given every opportunity to begin the
years work at that time. Arrange
ments In the courses of instruction
will be made to give former students
who have been in military service
chance to complete their courses.

GETTING READY FOK
OPENING OF ASSEMBLY
Politicians Are Specializing on What
Will Come Before LegisIa-
ture This Winter

Helena.-January s, 1919, the Six.
teenth session of the Montana legisla-
ture will organize. There has been no
Influx of legislators so far, no gather
ing OF members in the Capital city
to discuss in either formal or infor-
NAL way probable legislation. The
seriousness Of the Spanish influenza
epidemic and the Discrimination to
travel that has followed are respon-
sible for this lack of legislative WISH
tors. Both houses of the session are
controlled by the Republicans with
more than a two-thirds vote.
Undoubtedly an effort will be made
to change the primary law so as to
remove the Objectionable features.
A committee representing the State
Bar association will be on hand with
some measures governing practice in
Montana courts.
A large amount of legislation In the
interest of the farmers of Montana
is sure to be considered.
Among the measures suggested are
revision of the herd law, providing
tests for gasoline, making it manda-
tory for elevators to be equipped to
clean grain, providing some needed
changes in irrigation laws, weed laws,
grain inspection measures, seed loan
legislation and reduction in the rates
of interest.
Much time will be given to the con-
sideration of taxation reforms and the
report of the state tax commission,
which has been filed with the COVER
nor for reference to the Legislature.
A strong effort is expected to be
made to have another normal school
established in eastern Montana. Terry,
Lewistown, Livingston and Billings
are contenders for such an institution,
If one is established.
Undoubtedly some measures will be
passed to assure strict enforcement of
the prohibition laws and it is under
stood that the prohibition forces are
preparing to urge the passage of law
that will make the state bone dry.
The principal interest just now CEN
ters around the fight for speaker in
which the announced candidates are
Fred L. Gibson of Park, Ronald Hig-
gins of Missoula, @. A. Rasmussen OF

TO BE SPENT IN U. S.
New Legislation Needed, as Present
Law Provides That Loaned Funds
Must Be Expended for War
Materials

Washington, Dec. 10.-Congress was
asked by Secretary McAdoo in letter
made public yesterday to authorize the
continuation of loans to the allies for
one year after the termination of the
war to finance the purchase of food
stuffs and reconstruction materials in
this country. No additional appropria-
ton for loans to the allies was sought,
but it was suggested that the proposed
rrace-time provision apply to the ST.
500,000,000 of the $10,000,000,00 APP
propriated for allied loans which Sec
rotary McAdoo estimated will remain
unexpended when peace is declared.
Under existing law the United States
may lend to the allies only for war
purposes and during the war.
In line with this policy, the secre-
tary also sought to have new legisla-
ton provide that credits extended after
December Is, be for purposes growing
out of the war;" to make their use
more flexible.

New Legislation Needed.

The present law requires that the
securities of foreign governments
which the secretary of the treasury
takes in exchange for loans must be
of the same maturity as that of the
preceding Liberty loan from which the
funds came. Mr. McAdoo would change
this to give the treasury limited au-
thority to determine the maturities
In view of the prospective issuance Of
short term bonds for the fifth loan.
Treasury officials have ascertained
that foreign governments are prepared
to buy great quantities Of food, iron
and steel, machinery, cotton and other
materials from the United States dur
ing the next few years to aid In their
physical reconstruction programs.
Since the United States has absorbed
much of the worlds supply Of gold in
the last few years, the nations have
not the resources, either in cash or
ready credit, to pay for their pur-
chases without these Loans, officials
maintain.

Attorney General Ford Gives Opinion
That Prohibition Law Goes Into
Effect Last Day of December,

Helena.-To discuss ways and means
of raising revenue to take the place OF
that now derived from saloon licenses,
the city commissioners of Helena have
sent out Invitations to mayors of Mon
tana cities to attend a conference to be
held at Helena some time this month.
The chief matter that will be con-
sidered will be the adoption of uni
form license fee to be exacted of soft
drink establishments and places selling
two per cent beer, if its manufacture
and sale is permitted after prohibition
becomes effective.
The Helena commissioners have been
considering the matter of a fair license
fee for some time, hut have been IN
able to reach any decision. They then
decided 1t would be better to have an
exchange of views with officials Of
other towns.
The date of the conference will be
fixed to meet the conveniences of the
majority of municipal officials who
will attend.

Grazing Rates Boosted.

Secretary Houston. believing that
further suspension OF the increase In
national forest grazing fees first de-
cided on In 1915 is no longer justified.
has announced new rates to go into
effect March 1, 1919. Effective at the
same time, he has authorized the
granting of five-year grazing permits
where the conditions warrant and
such permits are desired by the stock
men. The new schedule will apply In
all forest reserves of the country.
The new rates will be 80 cents to
$3.50 for the year period per head for
cattle; sheep and goats, 25 per cent of
the cattle rate; horses, 25 per cent
over the cattle rate; and swine, %
per cent less than the cattle rate.
The original plan had been to ad-
vance grazing fees 80 1-3 per cent an
nually from 1917, but because Of con-
ditions, only 25 per cent increase was
made, and year later the plan was
suspended.

Ford Rules on Prohibition.

Attorney General Ford has given an
oral opinion that the prohibition law
enacted by the voters of the state, goes
into effect December 81. In other
words liquor selling ceases in Montana
at the closing hour Of saloons, the
night of December 30.
Mr.. Ford bases his opinion on the
language of the act which reads: ''This
act shall be in full force and effect
on and after December 81, 1915"
The attorney general is also of the
opinion that individuals are prohib-
TIED from shipping into the state liquor
for their own use, and he believes,
moreover, that if the section relating
to the selling of two per cent alcohol
content beverage is brought to the test
in courts, such sales will be forbidden.
