DAIRY Committee
TO BOOST BUSINESS
Commercial Club Plans Three ear
Program to Help Out Gallatin
Dairy Farmers

At a recent meeting of the dairy
committee Of the chamber of COM
merce initial steps were taken in that
will take three years at least for its
accomplishment. The program calls
for the expenditure of time, study
and money in an effort to boost the
dairy industry in Gallatin valley.
Perhaps 'foster" would be q better
word that "boost" when used in this
connection, for the idea of the comm
ittee is to bring about those things
which will encourage the dairy busi-
ness and bring larger revenues to the
men engaged in it. This includes
dairy marketing, transportation and
finances as well as production.
The manager of the commercial
club committie who have this line of
endeavor in charge and constitute one
of the best committees of that body
are J.P. Fabrick, chairman, Chas
Vandenhook, GIL. Martin, FIR. Pike
Amos Hall, Sam Collet, Us. Simpson
and A. E. Westlake.
The first meeting of the committee
was held for purpose of analyzing the
present dairy situation in the country
and forming tentative plans for in

meeting that an educational compaigr

Helena, Morch 8--That the Seven
teenth legislative assembly had not
completed the work which he had out
lined for it at the opening of the reg
ular session, or at least had not dis
posed of it's work to his satisfaction,
was impressed upon the member by
Governor Joseph NJ. Dixon Tuesday
afternoon when, after few days rest
from the strenuous closing weeks of
the regular session, he delivered his
message to them in the extraordinary
session in which they met upon his
call last Saturday.
The call of the governor for the eX-
/ traordinary session came to the mem
bers of the assembly on Friday, hours
after the regular time for the adj
ournment of the ordinary session but
yet a number of hours in advance OF
the time when adjournment was ac-
tually taken. In his call the govern
or specified five matters which he
desired disposed of as follows:
A larger appropriation for the care
of the larger number of patient;
awaiting admission to the already
over-crowded tuberculosis sanitariun
at Galen.
The abolishing of a vacant judshil
in the Fifth judicial district by whicl
saving to the state Of $4,000 pc
year could be made.
The providing of better means fo
the collection of the taxes Of tn
state, counties and cities, understood
to mean the providing of a tax com
mission.
The passage of a tax on oil pro
ductiOn with heavier levy than tina
provided in the bill which was pass
ed at the regular session.
A more scientific inheritance ia
than that which the regular sessio
passed.
The governor also gave it to b

y covered in a number of the bills whic
