With the approach of summer,
thousands of Americans are appar-
emily feeling the call Of the open
road. The sale of new automobiles
now is putting nearly $7,0OOOOO a
month in the governments Golfers, in
dicating purchases of approximately
S70,000,00 worth Of cars.
The tax collectors are getting near
ly S1O,OOO,OOO each 80 days via the
railroad ticket Office. Travel taxes
usually increase during the vacation
months, June, July and August, but
last summer there was very little
change over the winter period.
Pennies that go into the little glass
jar kept by the soda dispensers now
bring the government nearly $7,OO0,O0O
each month, indicating an enormous
demand.
Chewing gum brings the govern
ment the comparatively small total of
$4,000 monthly. This indicates that
the United States now is chewing
monthly approximately 26,0O0,00O
packages, or 1,3OOO0O,OOO sticks.
The country is spending $20,0O0,-

MONTANA WOOL IN
SUITS Of CLOTHES
Initial Venture in Manufacturing and
Direct Selling by Wool Men Is
Proving Successful

Starting in a small way as an eX-
pertinent in disposing of wool for
which there was no active market,
the business proposition of manufac-
turing raw Montana wool into suit
ings and making suits for the trade,
fostered by the Montana Wool Grow
crs' association has grown until it
row assumes the magnitude of big
enterprise. Local samples of this
cloth are on display at Westpha's
sore and Ray Holloway, formerly in
business here, but now general sales
manager for the concern, is most en-
thusiastic over the future of the bus
mess.
Mr.. Holloway is in the city, tending
to some business affairs concerned
with the disposition of the stock and
implements from his ranch, which he
sold last fall, but expects to return
to Chicago the latter part Of the
week where he will make his future
headquarters. MIR. Holloway has been
in Chicago ever since the meeting of
the National Wool Growers associa-
tion i'll Salt Lake City and has been
a potent factor in the development
of the business.
The actual manufacturing Of Mon
tana wool into suitings by the wool
growers themselves was an innova-
tion in the business world and has
been watched with interest by every
sheepman in the west. A mill was
leased in Michigan and the Montana
wool shipped there. Arrangements
were made with a tailoring house il
Chicago to make up the finished gar
merts adm a price of $37 and So!
was fixed on the same. The quality
of the cloth was guaranteed to b'
all wool, with no shoddy. Only th'
best grades Of wool are used in max
ing this cloth, according to Mr.. Hol
loway, the cheaper stuff being man
ufactured into blankets and othe
wooden products under the direction
Of the association.
So-far the only suits turned on
: by the association have been specia
orders, but Mr.. Holloway now say
: that arrangements are being made t
: manufacture special lines of ready
to-wear suits from the same goods
= Boys suits are also made.
4 The factory so far has turned ou
2 as much as 10000 yards CT c'ctH -

N'DONNELL TALKS
TO ROTARY CLUB
Discuss City Manager Form of Gov
ernment from Viewpoint of Ex-
pert and Recommends 1t

The feature of the weekly luncheon
Of the Rotary club Tuesday noon was
the talk of r. E. Mcdonnell, a for
mer Bozeman boy who has risen to
high rank in his profession as mum
icipal engineer, on the city manager
form of government for municipali-
ties. Mr.. Mcdonnell has for many
years been a member Of the city man.
ayers association and speaks from
the standpoint of a man who has seen
every phase of the question in ac-
tive operation.
Mr.. Mcdonnell traced the history
of the city manager movement from
where it first started in Dayton,
Ohio, which city, he said, is still cited
as a model of that form of govern
ment. "The criticism is made" said
Mr.. Mcdonnell, "that the city man.
ager form is not democratic. In an
swer / would say that the old alder
manic form is mere political than
democratic. The city manager form
gets everyone interested in city af-
fairs and that is as it should be-"
Mr.. Mcdonnell then cited Dubuque
Iowa, as an example of a city that
had prospered under the city man
ager form. Dubuque, he said, was
badly in debt, its warrants were dis
counted at the banks and financial
condition Of the city were in the
worst way when the city manager
first took hold The city was pay
ing as high as so per cent more fol
some Of it's labor and materials thar
was Dayton, with the city manager
form, and this extra expense coulC
be charged directly to the door o
poor financial conditions. The cit,
manager was put in and his first ac
was to call a meeting of 100 of tn,
prominent business men, with who's
help he raised a sum to take up al
! outstanding warrants. In a fe'
months, by the aid of this help. tn
city was able to discount its bills fo
cash and thus pay back the Origina
; money raised by the business men.
The results of the city manage
r form, the speaker said, were salts

Helena, March I'm spite Of the
fact that a great amount of legisla-
ton has been rushed through the
Seventeenth assembly during the past
week and probably a couple of hum
dred bills have been acted upon final
ly by both the house and the senate
completion Of a number Of the i'm
portant measures remain for the con-
Guiding three days of the session
which must be wound up by Thurs
day night. Much remains to be done
by joint conference committees upon
bills which have been passed by once
body and amended by the other and
upon these committees depends the
fate of most of these important mat
ters.
Among these latter measures in
the highway commission bill upon
which hard fight has been made in
view of the telling created by the
joint highway investigating commit
tee. The Junod bill, around which
this fight has centered, provided for
a one-man commission in place of
! the present commission of II, but
when it reached the house it was
amended upon motion of Scharni-
kow, of Powell county, to provide
for a. commission Of three to be ap-
pointed by the governor, one Of which
is to act as the executive head OF
the commission and draw salary OF
$4,000 per year. 1t is probable that
this three-man commission feature
will remain in the bill when it is con-
Cured in by the house and it must
then go back to the senate for concur.
renee in the amendment or else fol

After having amended the bill 81
as to provide for a flat rate of one
per cent, in place of the graduated
tax as was first contained in th'

striction upon the creation Of new
counties the house concurred in sub
stitute for senate bill III by Senator
Paul. However, these amendments
still hold the limits much higher than
they were in the old McCone law and
make it necessary that the assessed
valuation of new counties cannot be
less than S6,000,000 and the area
must be not less than 1000 square
miles, while the old counties must
be left with an assessed valuation of
not less than $9,0O0,O00 and its area
at least 1900 square miles. The
boundary line between the old and new
county must not approach nearer
than i miles to the court house OF

Federal FARM LOAN
IS CONSTITUTIONAL
Supreme Court of United States Up
Holds Measure that Means Much
for Relief of Farm Borrowers

The federal farm loan act was held
Constitutional Monday by the supreme
court. This is the act under which
land banks were established to ex-
tend loans to farmers.
The court divided, to 2, Justices
Holmes and McReynolds dissenting.
Justice Brandeis took no pant in con.
sidering the case. Justice Holmes
and McReynolds held that "the cause"
should haye been dismissed by the
court as being solely within the scope
of the Missouri courts.
Millions Of dollars in loans to farm
els have been held up pending a de-
cision Of the court in this case, which
was brought by Charles w. Smith,
stOckhOlder in the Kansas City Title
and Trust company, who sought an
injunction to restrain that institution
from investing it's funds in bonds is
sued by the farm loan banks.
The act was attacked on the ground
that congress was without. constitu-
tional authority to establish farm loan
banks and to exempt their bonds from
taxation. Justice Day, who rendered
the opinion for the court, said the
power Of congress to establish banks
had in a broad sense been upheld by
the supreme court in the days of
Chief Justice Marshall.
The court sustaining federal court
DEGREES dismissing injunction proceed
ings brought by Mr. Smith, also held
that congress had the authority to ex
empt the bonds Of the bank from tax
alton.
Farm loans aggregating more thai
$50,00O,000 have been held up sine
