r. c. NURSERY
AT THE CHAUTAUOUA

The free nursery which was con-
Quoted during the Chautauqua for the
convenience of mothers who desired
to attend the concerts was much ap-
preciated, and goes to show the care
and thought for the comfort of the
patrons of this yearly event, which
the committee in charge gave in their
efforts to do every thing in their power
to make the Chautauqua a success
from all standpoints. The nursery was
conducted under the auspices of the
Red Cross, which placed nurse in
charge, and provided generally for
the comfort of the little ones. All ex-
penses for its maintenance was met
by the Good Fellows club, of Glas-
gov.
We are informed that last year the
committee went behind about $25, but
this year they REALIZED more than the
required amount. Fifty-two signed up
for next years Chautauqua.

HOSPITAL CRISIS
$4,000 RAISED
Business Men of Glasgow Give
Over $4,000 Which is Cover
ed by M. E. Centenary
new MANAGEMENT OCT. |
Rev. George Macklenberg Of Helena
Assists in Work. Trustees Will
Insist on Payment of Bills

1t was with some regret that we
learned early last week that the Glas-
gov Deaconess Hospital would be OBJ
liged to close it's doors unless some aid
was extended in a material way. The
hospital has been self supporting un-
til the last two years since when it
has been running behind until. credit
could not be extended any longer.
The hospital has found it Impossible
to collect its bills which have mounted
up to over $4,000. This $4,000 of un-
paid bills would more than pay the
obligations of the institution. The
amount Of charity work done in the
last two years has been greater than
in any other hospital of its size in the
state. No question is ever asked a
patient when they come for treat
ment. This may not be the best An
ancial method but it is the Christian
way. They could not refuse to help
patient because they were poor. But
it is sad reflection on patients that
they impose on the kindness of the dea-
conesses and will not often pay when
they are able. From now on the trus-
tees of the institutions will insist that
patients provide some way to meet
their hospital bills when they come to
the hospital and pay their bills weekly
and not let them run for years and
never make plans to meet same.

NORTH DAKOTA TRAIL
PRESIDENT WAS HERE
Will E. HOlbein of MinOt on Way Thru
Glasgow from Glacier Park Says
Highway in Splendid Shape

Mr.. and Mrs. Will E. Holbein, of
Minot, N. D., who were on their way
home from their camp on the Flat
head River, stopped over in this city
the fore part of the week on account
of the heavy rains that made the
roads almost impossible. Mr.. Holbein
is secretary of the Minot Association
of Commerce, and president of the
North Dakota division of the Roose-
welt Highway Association, and while
on this trip has taken particular no
tice of the condition of the highway
in Montana. He states that in North
Dakota this year they will have COM
pleted over 10 miles of state and fed
eral aid highway on the Roosevelt
Highway, and that next year will see
an equal amount of state and federal
aid roads, and the following year
should see the Roosevelt Highway in
North Dakota all state and federal
aid road. He states that the highway
in this state with few exceptions is
good, but there are several places be-
tween Glasgow and the Glacier Park
of it he understands, is on the program
that need immediate attention. Some
for building next year, but some of it
is not on the program. Mr.. Holbein
is an enthusiast on the road building,
and has really accomplished some
thing along this line in his state this
year. He is particularly strong for
road maintenance after the roads are
built, and considers that more money
is wasted each year in the western
states than is necessary from lack
of maintenance of already improved
highways. He believes that all of the
Roosevelt Highway should be state
and federal aid projects, for this fact
alone means proper maintenance all
the time.
Mr.. Holbein is an old newspaper
man, and the writer and Mr.. Holbein
worked side by side on a couple of
North Dakota newspapers sixteen
years ago. For the past four and one
half years he has been secretary of
the Minot Association of Commerce
and allied organizations, and it is said
by officials of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States that Minot.
North Dakota, is the best organized
city commercially of any town in the
United States. Factions have been
eliminated in the business life of that
city and all the business men are a
unit in pushing forward the citv. Ey-
en- the clerks in the stores have been
brought into the fold as boosters for
the city.
Mr.. Hoibein states that with the
proper effort on the part of the towns
along he Roosevelt Highway in North
Dakota and Montana that thousands of
tourists will come over the HIGHWAY
next year instead of travelling over the
Yellowstone, as is the case this wear.
Surely the scenic beauties of the
Roosevelt Highway are every bit as
prominent as on the Yellowstone. and
all the tourists needs is an assurance
that the highway will be kept safe for
travel.

A WORD FOR THE TEACHER

There are great many other things
I would do differently if I were going
through school again. Here is just one
more l would like to mention; I'd be a
little more considerate of the teacher.
There is once in while an ornery one,
l admit, but on the average they are
a mighty nice, patient, friendly, help
full lot of girls. They work hard, get
none too much pay and even less ap-
probation, and do US all great deal
of good.-The Cave. Scout in Boys
Life for September.

COUNTY OFFICERS
STATE MEETING
At Glacier National Park, is
= Well Attended And Very
Successful
ANDERSON ELECTED V. P.
Important Resolutions Passed Regard
ing Bond Issues. Officers Opposed
To Increased Taxes

The Valley county representatives
at the State Association Of the
County officers which was held this
week in the Glacier Park returned
home Thursday and Friday. Those
who were in attendance were, Chair
man Peter A. West, C. A. Pippin, and
Carl Anderson, commissioners, Coun-
ty surveyor w. H, Mann, County As
SCISSOR H. o. Gamas and County Audi
tor, G. H. Wolking. The officers report
very. successful meeting and many
helpful suggestions and instructions
given by the different speakers. G
Resolutions were passed against
the proposals Of the bond issues to bs
submitted to the electorate at the
coming election.
Following are the resolutions adop-
ted:
"Be it resolved by the State Associa-
tion of County Officers of the state of
Montana, in convention assembled
that we, public officers charged with
the duty of collection of taxes and dis
tribution of county funds, view with
alarm the increasing tendency to place
large bond issues and other indebted
ness upon our state, we will call the
attentiaon of the taxpayers Of this
state to the fact that the state, IN
the subdivisions of counties, cities and
school districts, is already carrying
total bonded Indebtedness of over
5O,00O,000; that the bond issues to be
submitted to the electorate at the
coming election, if carried, will amount
to an additional $4O,OOO,OOO; that the
present conditions of the bond market
of state and municipal bonds is sucl
that these bonds cannot be sold fol
less than 6 or 7 per cent; that The
taxes necessary to pay the interes
alone on this enormous total of $780,.
100000 would be $3,5O0,OOO in taxes
"1n other words, the taxes of the
state will have been increased 25 pei
cent to provide for interest alone. This
enormous tax bill from a state which
is already paying the highest individ-
ual taxes of any state in the union
we believe, is a subject that cannot
be too seriously considered by the peo-
pie of Montana in considering the
question of voting on these bond is
sues. All have their merits, but
the depreciation of the purchasing
power of money and the already heavy
burdens of taxation in Montana sug-
gests to US that certain consideration
be given to problems of taxation
The association chose Butte for the
meeting place in 1921 and elected J.
M. Fabean or Silver Bow county as
president, John S. Todd, Yellowstone
first vice president, Carl j. Ander-
son of Valley, second vice president
and w. M. Biggs of Lewis and Clark
secretary
Road problems were dealt upon at
length by the convention and it was
the unanimous opinion that some leg
islation must be had to regulate heavy
traffic by trucks and tractors, on
county roads. This matter was placed
in the hands of the Committee on lig-
islation. John Edy, chief engineer of
the state highway commission, gave
assurance of the commissions Coop

ONE BURDEN LlGHTENED.

Millions of men and women who
have just paid taxes on incomes OF
$4,000 and less found the rate 80
per cent lower than it was for the
previous year, and their saving was
IN proportion. That is to say, not
including exemptions, this saving
averaged 50 on every 500 of income
upon which payment was made. TO
many thousands OF persons on wages
and salaries this reduction in the
rate meant a cut Of $50 or $40 in
this years payment.
This decrease in the tax rate on
the smaller incomes-those OF the
vast number Of taxpayers who de-
pend on their daily earnings-is due
to the foresight Of Democratic
congress. At the moment that hos
tilities were brought to close in
November, 1918, the Sixty-flfth
Congress- Democratic body
made prompt provision for reduc-
ton in the tax rate on the average
mans income during the succeeding
calendar year-that is. for 1919.
In the aggregate this saving to
those who can least afford to pay
taxes runs into many millions of
money. 1t appreciably reduces the
cost of living in tens of thousands
of homes. 1t will unquestionably be
gratefully remembered by those who
found at least one burden lighter
than they expected it to be.
