DECLINE IN DEATH
RATE IN MONTANA,
SAYS DR.. ]. ]. S|PPY
Credit Is Given Better System
of Reporting Disease to
State Health Office.

Helena, Jan. Although the num-
Der Of infectious and contagious dis
eases of the people of Montana have
been reported in much greater num-
bers since the board Of health has
adopted a nationally accepted system
on these cases, Or. J. ]. sippy, state
epidemiologist in his biennial report
says:
ut may we'll be concluded that the
decline in fatality rates is due to bet
ter morbidity reporting and not to any
decrease Of virulence in the diseases
themselves" He added
Furthermore, that there was an
actual decline in the prevalence Of dis
ease from year to year, may also be
concluded.
ut should be matter of great sat
isfaction to the Montana state board
of health to be able to justify its ex-
istance and it's expenditures by such a
decline in the records Of deaths from
these diseases"
In concluding his report DR.. Sippy
expressed his thanks to $50 physicians
in Montana for their aid and co-opera-
ton. and also to 1O1 local county and
city health officers.
The report covers the history of the
department decline in death rates, re-
vision of all health regulations, history
Of II special Investigations of epi-
denies. special influenza fight, slow
decline of tuberculosis in Montana,
free distribution Of anti-toxins to in
digents. free vaccination campaigns.

ent situation can be worked out in
reasonable way and we should not
get excited unless it shall appear
that someone or something has fall
len short of. reasonable care and
results.
Going back a little. While the
plans were being prepared for these
bridges, labor and material went
up and up. It was not possible to
get construction figures anywhere
nearly down to the estimate. There
was trouble about revising the
plans and finally new ones had to
be approved. Then too, govern
ment war regulations blocked the
way. 1t seemed for a time that
the whole enterprise would have
to be abandoned. A less determin-
ed board of county commissioners
would have quit altogether. TO
their credit, they did not give up.
They plodded along. 1t has been
a wearisome, thankless job. They
could not pour any more concrete
or put any more steel into a bridge
than the money would let them so
The Tribune has an idea that, all
things considered, we are lucky to
have these new bridges in any
shape at all at the present moment.
If anybody has wasted any mon
ey, criticism should have bill Of
particulars attached. IF anyone
has failed to try to do the right
thing under the contingencies that
have arisen, the how and the when
and the where need to be given.
The Tribune doesn't pretend to
have a complete knowledge about
everything connected with these
bridges but it does know that much
OF the current gossip that has been
going around is not justified by
the facts.
During the last year or so, we
have had in this city rather too
much scandal-monger, back biting
going the rounds. Some of it has
been directed at financial institu-
tions, some at business houses,
some at public business and some
at individuals. This kind of stuff
does not benefit the community.

A GOVERNMENT RUN ON SMOKE.

kASlklN

distribution Of hog cholera serum by
the federal government. Numerous
similar instances suggest themselves.
DR.. Hosa's figures seem to indicate
that what is needed is a clear and
unprejudiced analysis of the federal
government are legitimate and neces-
sary, and which are not. DIR. Rosa
argues that the scientific and engineer
ing activities of the government are
among its most legitimate and neces-
sary. ones. The bureau Of standards,
for instance, makes scientific research
which is OF great value to industry, as
do also other scientific bureau of the
government. This work could be done
BY private concerns for themselves.
But for each private concern to do its
own primary research would be to do
the same thing over and over again.
to do the primary work, in full CO.
operation with private enterprise, leav-
ing the private laboratories to work
out their own special problems. This
seems logical Such work by the gov
ernment represents merely economical
cooperation by the American people
to solve their industrial problems.
AS for engineering work, it is mostly
necessary in development Of the public
domain. As long as we have public
domain, it must adequately cared for.
SO the care of national forests and
the reclamation of arid lands are legiti
mate government work.
There certainly seems to be a dis
tinction between such governmental
activities as these and others, which
readily come to mind, that might be
as we'll or better performed by states
or municipalities or individuals. It is
the latter which brought down upon
their heads the epithets ''paternalistic'
and bureaucratic"
1t is complicated and vital question,
but DR.. Rosa seems to have shed some
light on it, anyhow.

THE TAX ON MINES.

THE dispatches from Helena
1 show that the new tax on
mines Except coal mines) is not
to be production tax, but a tax
on net profits, according to the
bills produced by the committee on
revenue and taxation. That is how
mines are already taxed-on net
proceeds,-so that we deduce from
the report that the one and half
per cent tax ION the net revenues
of mines" is only an addition of
fifty per cent to the present tax
on their net revenues. However.
the criticisms we made on this bill
as it relates to metals on the as
sumption that the proposed tax
was a gross tax on production does
not apply to the metal group in
the light of the facts. ......
These criticisms do apply to the
coal tax and the oil tax, however.
Coal is to pay tax Of ten cents
ton on production at the mines,
regardless of whether any profits
are made or not. Likewise oil is
to pay tax Of three per cent on
its value. Cement is also to pay
a production tax regardless Of
profits. Of course, if there are
any profits in either coal, oil or
cement. they will pay another tax
on these under the provisions of
our state income tax.
AS we said the other day in COM
ment on the proposed production
taxes, we do not like that sort of
taxation and do not regard it as
sound economically, or wise prac-
tically. A net profits tax is quite
a different thing, and is sound the
oretically and practically, if the
rate is not excessive.
We have a curiosity regarding
the arguments that induced the tax
committee to apply the net profits
principle of taxation to metal
mines while refusing the same
treatment to coal mines and to oil
and cement, which are subjected
to a gross production tax regard
less of profits.
The automobile owners and deal
ers are also to contribute to the
impoverished treasury Of the state
under another revenue raising bill
which hits them pretty hard, espe-
cially the owners. They will have
to pay a greater license fee graded
according to the weight of their
machines, but the real cause of
their grief will be found in tax
Of one cent a gallon on the gaso-
line they use. If they use their
machine much that will come to a
considerable sum to add on to their
license fee at the end of the year.
