The Roosevelt County Taxpayer:
Association came into being at mass

County Farm Bureau.
About rs men and women repre-
senting large portion of the county
were present, when M. P. Trenne,
president of the Farm Bureau, called
the meeting to order and spoke
briefly of the purpose for which it
had been called. He said that he
had received the suggestion for this
movement while attending the State
Farm Bureau meeting at Bozeman.
He emphasized that there was no in
tention or desire on the part of the
County Bureau to make the proposed
tax association a political instrument
in any sense ofthe term, but purely
means of giving a service to the
taxpayers of the county. Conclud-
ing his remarks he asked the pleas
ure of the meeting.
H. E. Rickard Of Poplar placed in
for temporary chairman
A. A. Woods of Culbertson. R. j.

County Tax Association

i Roosevelt County has taxpayers association
type of organization that is to Montana but which
appears to have become pressing need In former years
and older states people grbed about taxes that
fraction of what must be paid the valuation
today But they went to the trouble of forming
state or county organizations to check up officials and
seek remedies for the evil They waited until the next
election forgot the matter in the rush of prosperous
times
Now elections too far off and are rendered too
uncertain results through the subtle work of politicians
So associations direct from the people sprngng up
to probe into the causes of the ubearabe cost of state
and county government.
The Roosevelt County Taxpayers Association organ
lied at Cubertson March 4th has large opportunity
Ito render vast service to the people represents AS
inferred by President Trennes remarks at the opening of
the meeting the association will do we'll to keep clear and
independent of all partisan sectional and factonal af
aons 1t will also put itself in position to deserve the
thanks and admiration of all lovers of clean government
f goes about it's task fairly with the assumption that
everything is well and that every official has been faithful
to the trust reposed in him by the people, but thoroughly
and deeply probing both present conditions and past
records to make certain that the assumption is correct
Sentiment must often in the performance of whole duty
be sacrificed to duty.
Armed With Unusual Power
In making search for the of extremely high county
and vast amount of Indebtedness the association
should experience difficulty. The complaints and de-
mands of an Individual or a newspaper seldom get far,
IT politicians wish to oppose them, but when county
wide organization representative of the taxpaying cti
call for accounting is pretty apt to be made
Apparently the association begins its under fa-
tended and fairly conducted While not every section Of
the county represented very large portion of it
The west end largely represented at the organization
meeting and is ably represented on the executive board
j. H. Cofey for the city of Wolf Point is we'll quail
fed for the highly responsible position by his successful
business and his intimate knowledge of public af
fairs, he has also had practical experience in taxation
matters as deputy county assessor.
Albert Lee, for the country is successful farmer and
man OF practical judgment he IS looked upon by both
his town and country associates as man of more than
ordinary ability.

STATE FEDERAL LOAN
ASSN AT SAND CREEK

About so Northern McCone county
farmers met at VIM. Pipal's place on
Wednesday to take preliminary steps
toward the organization of a Fed
eral Farm Loan Association.
Efforts had been made in three
different Southside communities to
organize federal loan associations,
but advice from the land bank at
Spokane was to the effect that but
one association could be authorized
in that section. The details of or
ganizing and securing federal loans
were discussed quite thoroughly and
VIM Pipal was elected temporary
secretary. This was the only definite
thing that can be done until authority
for the organization of the associa-
tion is received from the Land Bank
at Spokane. 1t is believed that a
large list Of applicants, eligible for
loans, will be made.

BIGGEST THRILL EVER

A rushing, roaring sweep of resist

WIRELESS PHONES
FILL GREAT NEED
LOCAL ELECTRICIAN BELIEVES
SERIOUS LOCAL PROBLEM
is SOLVED

The remarkable development OF
wireless telephony as practical
means of communication over both
long and short distances leads to the
conclusion that it offers a solution
of a local problem. The need of a
means of communication between this
city and the rural districts around
it has long been felt and is becom-
ing more urgent each year. This is
especially true of the country south
of the Missouri, which is at times en-
tirely cut off by the condition of the
river.
Outfits Only 500
Pole and wire lines are expensive
and difficult to maintain and are IL
able to fail when most needed. Tele-
phone projects have been undertaken
at several times but for financial
reasons have so far not materialized.
T. B. Huff, a local electrician, en-
ployed by the Motor Sales Company
ana LlSCoruQ ROVER COIipduy, DC-
lieves that wireless phones will un-
doubtedly prove to be both the tenn
porary and permanent solution of
this important problem. Mr.. Huff
has sent for literature put out by
the government explaining fully how
to assemble and install equipment
for wireless telephones. He states
that outfits with range up to 800
miles can be secured for $1OO, which
is about the cost of construction OF
one mile of wire line.
Equipment Simple
Wireless phone equipment is said
to be comparatively simple, the re-
ceiving and sending instruments be-
ing placed inside the building where
used with an aerial to receive and
send impulses on the roof. Equip
ment with a limited range can even
