THE SCHOOLS AND THE
MONEY

EVERYBODY is in favor of edu-
I cation. Nearly everyone ap-
proves liberal support for both our
public schools and for all of Jul
institutions of higher instruction.
Montana wishes, we believe, to
maintain the high place it has taken
in the development of its educa-
tional system, to the end that all
of our children may be given every
reasonable advantage.
We are lead to this observation
by noticing that there is some dis
! position on the part of the State
Teachers association owe in Hell
ena to pursue certain proposals to
! raise more money than has lately
been expended. through new taxes,
and for additional support of the
schools. Now after all that can
be said in favor of education, it
remains to be added that the public
schools of the state, and all OF the
other institutions for that matter,
must expect to suffer some incon-
v%eniences and to find some curtail-
ments in expenses necessary during
a time Of depression.
1t will not be any more popular
-
If the State Teachers association
starts after new taxes at this time
than it will be popular if the leg
islature does the n sort Of
thing. The people of the state do
rot want more taxes for the year
1928. Every public institution,
every public official, every admin
istrative function, needs to take
note of this fact. The school
teachers of the state are deserving
of fine treatment. The people of
the state wish them to have it. But
for all that, the teachers will be
acting with sensible discretion and
good judgment 1t they leave it to
the legislature and to the rest of
the people of the state the pro-
viding Of the money for the main
tenance of our schools, and they do
not need to spend much time insist
ing upon the methods whereby this
shall be done. Tn other words, the
schools can well afford to leave
themselves in the hands of the peo-
pie, and the people will work out
their salvation In a highly accept

Special to The Tribune.
Livingston, Nov. 29.-Irwin Gar
land, who claims he is well known in
Butte, Helena and Great Falls is in
the county Jail here charged with
working a bunco game. According to
Sheriff James McClarty, Garland has
confessed that he fleeced Thomas
Sandell, wei known Park county mer-
chant.
-Four weeks ago Garland came to
Sandell and told him his name was
Floyd E. Jones, according to the Of
ficers. Jones further informed San
dell that he owned q farm in Park
county and had a wheat crop he want
ed to sell. Jones and Sandell drew an
agreement whereby Sandell was to
purchase 1900 bushels of wheat from
Jones. Sapdell gave Jones a check
for $3.50 as part payment.
Jones cashed the check and beat it.
Later it was learned that he had no
farm in this county and no wheat crop.
He was arrested in Butte and
brought here for trial Wednesday.

AMI NOW THE LEGIS-
LATURE

WE notice in the pres. of the
w state considerable discussion
revolving around the question of
whether or not the legislature
which will convene at Helena in
January belongs to Governor Dixon.
Even among the republican papers,
there is a wide difference of opin-
ion. There is so much controversy
and SO much fighting between the
Dixon and the anti Dixon wings of
his party that there is considerable
doubt as to whether the G. Q. p.
structure can stand the division
within its own house. If n is to
prophesy in keeping with the scrip
ture, it will have to be said that
the house will fall.
AS The Tribune looks out over
the state, it has reached the opinion
that Mr.. Dixon will not be able to
control the legislature that is to
convene at Helena mex month.
There will be many republicans we
think who will not do his bidding.
Some of them will be fairly friendly
to him, but they will make up their
own minds as the questions at issue
come up. Besides, there are a
goodly number of democrats in this
legislature-rnany more than IN the
one that made laws for us two
years ago. The great danger to
the coming legislature probably is
that it will not be able to do real
business because Of the wrangling
within the party that nominally has
a margin Of the votes.
Then of course the question
arises: What ought the legislature
to do, if it can do anything worth
while? This is a big question.
And yet there is a straight and
narrow path in which the legisla-
ture can walk if it should choose to
do so. The same paramount duty
rests upon the coming legislative
assembly that should have been the
guiding star of the last legislature;
namely, economy of expenditure in
the transaction of the routine bust
ness of the state. The need for
economy is further emphasized at
this time because the state has now
added more than a million dollars
to its obligations at a time in the
affairs of Montana when there
should have been nothing added to
the deficit at all. There was no
need to add to this deficit if ex-
penses had been properly cut down
two years ago. The legislature re-
fused to listen then, and that is
the principal reason why the pres
ent state administration has failed
to satisfy the people with what
has been done.
. Two years ago there was a lot of
talk about economy, but there was
no economy exercised. The legis-
lature itself did not economize.
The legislation that was enacted
did not bring about economy at
all. AS a matter of fact, the last
two years have added a sad chapter
in the transaction of the business
affairs of Montana. From legisla-
tive session to Conley case, the
administration has been inefficient,
unsatisfactory and far too expen-
sive. So the first duty that pre-
scnts itself to the coming legisla-
ture is the ann one that was press
ing for attention twenty-four
months ago; namely, the cutting

down Of expenses until the income
shall have been restored.

down of expenses until the income
shall have been restored.
The second subject that we'll
might receive legislative attention
is not the hunting of new taxes, or
the creation Of new burdens for
anybody to bear, but it is the great
and far reaching problem Of get
ting water upon the lands OF Mon
tana that can be irrigated. Our
statutes governing the use Of water
should be revised in accord with
recommendations that have been
made, and we should never rest in
the consideration of this great
problem until the waters that are
available in our mountains are
stored and used. Upon the results
of such activity must rest the wild
est and strongest foundations of
prosperity that can be laid in this
state. What Montana needs is the
production of wealth and a cheaper
transportation of that production.
IF we work along this line, the tax
question will take care of itself. -
The problem OF transportation
always logically attaches itself to
that of production. This legisla-
ture has the task before it of pro-
viding a means for going ahead
with a reasonable plan of road con-
struction. A larger volume of pro-
duction and a cheaper way of get
ting to the railroad means much
for prosperity. A larger volume
of production ought to logically
bring cheaper railroad distribution.
All effort along these lines will
help Montana out of depression.
The legislature has the task before
it of providing a way whereby a
state fund may be created, so as
to match up the five or six mil
lion dollars of federal money which
will be available for the building
of gravel roads in this state dur
ing 1923, 1924 and 1925. It is the
only way that this government
money can be saved to the state.
And right here takes place one Of
the mistakes of our tax associa-
tons. They fail to distinguish
between money that is used by way
Of economic investment and funds
which are expended for the routine
of government. Reason
able investment should be made in
good times and bad times. This is
good doctrine for cities, for coun-
ties and for the state. So in the
consideration of all our expendi-
lures, a broad line of demarcation
be drawn down through those
dollars that go for public invest
ment and those that are used for
expenses. What we should
try to introduce into our public
is not stagnation, but thrift
and economy and good business.
These are some of the things to
which the legislature of Montana
NAV well give serious attention.

1t is bad in principle when one
class which is working for the rest
of the people starts in to arrange
and direct how Its recompense shall
be provided.
We are glad to note that there
has been expressed at Helena a
sentiment that the schools should
join hands with the other laudable
undertakings Of the state, and that
economy should be exercised in
this regard as in all things else.
This is the sensible position to
take, and it is the one that will
commend itself as Montana tries to
enter upon the task of restoring
its finances and its general pros
perity.

Michigan potato shippers are con-

the alleged discriminatory freight
rates now possessed by Wisconsin
and Minnesota
The optimism is based upon the
admission by Michigan railroads
here last week at the hearing before
Examiner p. O. Carter. OF the in
terstate commerce committee that
freight rates on potato shipments in
Michigan are perhaps discrimina-
tory in comparison with the two
western states.
Because of the lower rates, Wis
consin and Minnesota shippers get
the advantage in the markets. it
is claimed, and Michigan men have
lost thousands of dollars. y is al

Through Atty +. NJ. Davis, Of the
Central Freight association. sugges-
ton was made that Michigan rates
cannot be lowered with justice 10
the roalroads unless rates in Wis
consin and Minnesota are increased.
The railroads base their claims for
continuance of the present rate on
net return on investment between
1908 and 1920 which. it is claimed,
ranges between 2.7S per cent to 4.65
per cent except in 1914, when a
deficit of S1.O0O.000 was claimed and
in 1920. when a deficit of $1,000
600 was claimed.
