The Mayor would make no comment

HIGHER STATE TAX
ON AUTOS URGED
STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
OFFERS RECOMMENDATION
TO LEGISLATURES
Road Upkeep by the State Is Also
Proposed; Control of Destination
and Distance Signs on Highways
Is Advocated by Board Members
as a Reform Measure.

State maintenance of state built
roads.
Material increase in motor vehicle
license fees to provide for state main
tenance.
These are the two major recon-
mendations which the state highway
commission will submit to the next
session of the legislature. The rec
concentrations were adopted at the
meeting of the executive committee
at Helena last week with Chief En-
gineer John N. Edy.
These recommendations will be
submitted to the legislature in defin-
tie form. In addition, the commits
sion will submit to the lawmakers
several suggestions looking to i'm
proved highway conditions in the
state, following experience gained by
the personnel of the commission, the
members of trail associations, and
similar organizations.
"The commission believes there
should be some control of road des-
tination and distance signs" Mr.. Edy
explained. There is no intention of
preventing the use of trail ~associa-
tion signs, but only to give the state
authority to exercise such control
that will prevent misleading signs
and provide a penalty for %tampering
with them, and to let approved mark
ers stand. The idea is to protect the
travelling public without working a
hardship on trail associations. When
are put up correctly and ap-
proved by a state authority they will
then become official road signs.
'It will also be suggested that the
legislature enact a law limiting speed
and weight of traffic on state roads
and also a workable special road dis
trict law. This is designed to give
patrons on any road the right to or
ganize and finance an improvement
for themselves when the county fin
ances are insufficient"

An appropriation of $4,000 to
continue public land surveys in Mon
tana during the next fiscal year is
recommended by the commissioner of
the general land office in his annual
report submitted today. Discussing
survey work in Montana he says:
1.-THE returns of surveys disposed
of representing lines of surveys es-
tablished in 1920 are reported as
292 miles of railroad-grant surveys
and 1860 public-grant survey lines,
a decrease from 1919 of 2,531 miles.
The field cost per mile was, in the
case of railroad surveys, diminished
seven per cent and the office cost
about SO per cen per mile. The field
cost of public land surveys was in
creased SO per cent per mile and Of
flee cost of the same increased about
35 per cent. The increased cost of
field work was due not only to the
general advance in the price of sub
sistence, transportation and equip
ment, but to the fact that the lands,
applications for the survey of which
are now received, are more and more
mountainous each year, the survey
of the lowlands being now nearly
completed
"The above does not include the
survey of Indian lands. The record
shows that returns of 935 miles of
reservation lines were disposed of,
increase of 627 miles over last
year. The field cost per mile was
S15.63 and office cost $1.29, which
is considerably less than that of the
public land and railroad survey,
mostly owing to the difference in the
character of the land surface. In
mining surveys the record shows the
approval of 40 surveys and go loca-
tions, a decrease of about 80 per
cent. The office cost per location is
a decrease of $1.67 each.
were approved II forest home
stead surveys and Sc special instruc-
tions therefor, a decrease of 10 per
cent in surveys and an increase of
100 per cen in special instructions.
The average cost of office work on
each is $3.50, as against $9.06 in
1919. The sum of $4,000 is consid-
cred as needed for the cost of sur
veys to be executed in 1922"

Relief for the wool growers of the
west, as we'll as for the wheat grow
ers, was urged at both ends of the
I capitol when congress resumed its
labors, and it is evident strong pres
sure will be brought to bear to Sc
cure some speedy legislation that
will be effective. Senator Smoot will
introduce a bill providing for an M
barge on foreign wool, such en-
barge to remain until congress dir
ects otherwise, but to be operative
for at least n year in any event.
Representative Sinnott of oregon
is the author of a bill prohibiting
the importation of wool into the Uni
ted States between now and January
1, 1928, coupled with a retroactive
feature, which provides that wool
imported before the embargo be-
comes effective shall pay duty equi-
valent to 33 cents per pound for
grease wool. Where it is not prac-
ticable to collect this duty from i'm
porters, the bill provides that the
duty shall be collected from the pur-
chaser. The sole purpose of this
latter provision is to prevent the
VI inc AMERICAN ma %
with foreign wool before the embar-
go can be imposed.
For Livestock Men
For the relief of live stock men,
Senator Smoot will offer another
bill which later will be proposed as
an amendment to any tariff legisla-
ton that may be taken up, placing
in effect the old Payne tariff rates

WIRELESS CONCERT
FIRST IN STATE
MONTANA POWER COMPANY AND
FORESTRY OFFICIALS TEST
HIGH POWER SET
Range of Equipment Used Was For
Only Seventy Miles, but Strains of
Photograph Record Were Plainly
Heard at a Distance of One Hum
bred and Seventy Miles.

For the first time last week Mon.
tana people heard music transmitted
by wireless, and small parties al
Thompson Falls, Helena, Deer Lodge
Dillon, Great Falls and Bozeman
were entertained with a concert, the
music being played at Butte on a
phonograph. Thompson Falls is 174
miles airline from Butte, Great Falls
being 100 miles by airline. The
other points are all closer.
The music was heard so plainly,
and sounded so loudly that dancing
by it was enjoyed without difficulty
at Great Falls. The test was made
by R. B. Adams, telephone engineer
for districts No. 1 and No. A of the
National Forest service, assisted by
officials of the Montana Power COM
pany at Butte. Besides the music
there was considerable conversation,
and in all of the towns 1t was de-
clared that the voice vas transmitted
more clearly by wireless than over
the wires.
A high power set was used at Butte
one used in the forest service. The
range of the set was supposed to be
70 miles, but 1t was found that it
would carry at least 100 miles far
Their and it is not yet determined
what the maximum range is.
The same set is used as in wire
less telegraphy. All that is neces-
sary with the modern equipment to
convert from telegraph form to tele-
phone is to turn a switch.
The forest service is using the
wireless phone with remarkable sue
cess, says Adams. In 1919, district
No. 1, of which Missou1a is the head
quarters, obtained two wireless tele-
phone sets from the army, using them
to great advantage in the worst fire
on record.
This year more sets were obtain
ed, most of them having a range of
Is to 25 miles. These were
taken into localities where there was
no other means Of quick communica-
lion. Wireless phone messages are
sometimes transmitted to wire lines,
where they are carried to their des-
tination on the wires.

ducts imported into the United
States.
This measure he proposes merely
to meet emergencies with the under
standing that the whole schedule be
revised when a general tariff law is
framed.
Representative Sinnott has laid be-
fore the joint committee on agricul-
ture a proposal that the United
States create a board to regulate and
control the foreign sale and ship
ments of grain. He told the COM
mittee that Great Britain still main
tains it's wheat board and controls
the buying of wheat for England and
for allied countries, in that country.
Through that board and by dumping
Canadian wheat and flour on Ameri-
can markets, he showed that the OPP
erations of the board were largely
responsible for forcing down the
price of wheat in this country, and
suggested that the United States take
a lesson from Great Britain and
create an American board to protect
American wheat growers. The COM
mittee was deeply interested in the
proposal.
Waving Assessment Work
Senator Smoot will introduce a
bill still further waving the re-
quirement of assessment work on
mining claims until July 1 next, and
providing that thereafter the year
which assessment work must
be done shall run from July l to June
80, following, instead of during the
calendar year, as now.

cember will be of interest to stock
men in Montana as indicating that

Montana grain producers have
been discouraged to such an extent
by the combination of high wages
In the summer and low prices for
products this fall that the acreage
in winter grain crops in Montana this
year has dropped about 25 per cent
less than the winter grain production
of 1919, which was Is per cent below
normal, according to Charles D.
Greenfield, commissioner of agricul-
ture and publicity, in his annual re-
port to Governor Stewart.
In his report Greenfield said that
the 1920 crop in Montana was the
best in the point of production that
Montana has had in four years. 1t
was so far superior to the crop of
1919 that it might justly be called
a fair year so far as production is
concerned for the farmers of the
state, he added.
Wheat Price Discourages
Another unfavorable condition
which has resulted in seriously Grip
pling many farmers financially was
due to the long, hard winter follow
ing the poor hay crop of 1918. 1t is
conservatively estimated that Mon
tana sent out for feed for livestock
in the winter of 1%919-1920, not less
than $50, 10000 The feed bought
was not only poor in quality but the
price paid for it was extraordinarily
high. Livestock was rushed to the
market and the number of sheep and
was greatly depleted, with the
result that with a bountiful hay crop
in 1920 there is not sufficient stock
In the state to make a good market.
