OPEN FIRST TRADE
COURSE FOR BOYS
At EUREKA SCHOOL
Students to Spend Half Time
in Practical Work in Chem
ical Plant.

Helepa, Feb. 2S.-LincoIn county
high school has organized the first CO
operative course in Montana, according
to an announcement made by the state
department for vocational education.
The development of this work. it is
stated, was stimulated By the request
of officials of the new chemical plant
at Eureka for the cooperation of the
public schools in promoting the inter-
ests of the ambitious young pupil 10
q new state industry that offers much
opportunity for advancement.
G. B. Edwards. state director of
vocational education, outlined the plan
for the trade course at the Lincoln
high school. He states:
This course of instruction presents
a combination of industrial training
plus high school education at the COM
pletion of which the boy leaves school
with a working knowledge of voca-
ton that not only means dollars and
cents to him, but assists the employer
in obtaining a workman who is both
productive and efficient.
Half Time In Industry
1.-THE course, as outlined, consists OF
two years of training, half time IN
industry and the other half in school.
The group Of boys are divided into two
sections, one working at the chemical
plant while the other attends school,
and at the end of each week shift
is made so that the group at school,
takes the place of the group at the
plant This is known as the week
about plan.
During the summer the entire
group will be given steady employment
and throughout the year receive tram
ing in the laboratory and production
department of the plant. While at the
high school physics, mathematics
chemistry and other subjects related to
the job are studied and in addition TIC
this necessary cultural subjects, Civ
ing the boy broad education and al
loving him to receive the benefits OF
high school diploma.
Trade Course Not New
THE cooperative trade course Is
not new. 1t has been tried out IL
many eastern cities and has given ex-
cellent results. IT does not flood the
market with poorly trained tradesmer
but gives the ambitious young man who
would ordinarily leave school tram
ing that not only is good for him but
promotes the growth and development
of industry. 4 number of the most
promising boys will, after period. Of
regular employment in the chemica
plant, be encouraged to take up chem
zeal engineering which will open way
for them to return to the plant ane
enter into big paying positions.
1.-THE library, laboratory and other
facilities of the chemical company are
at the disposal of these classes ane
with these facilities insures that tins
type of education will be practical.
sixteen boys at Lincoln are nov
taking this work and as the industry
grows and the classes advance others
will be cared for. Montanas indus
trial success depends upon the attitude
of the boy today toward productive
work. and public school education o
this type is one of the ways and means
Of promoting industry and giving Z
the state it's birthright of industrial
success"

WOULD CHANGE LAW
ON AWARDING OF
COUNTY PRINTING
Fergus Taxpayers Committee
Suggests Expense Reduc-
tons in Many Offices.
Special to The Tribune.


Lewistown, Feb. 2S.-The report of
the committee Of II. of the Fergus
Taypayers association. as amended in
a number of ways and finally adopted,
condemns the present system of letting
contracts for county printing and coun-
IL supplies and asks the cooperation
of all taxpayers associations in the
state in influencing the next legislature
to change the law SO that such CON
tracts will be let TO the lowest respon-
sble bidder.
The committee finds that the last
county fair about paid its expenses,
together with the cost of the consider
able improvements made and the man
agement is complimented. For this re-
suit ii, J.. Fitton. the secretary. is said
to be chiefly responsible.
1t is recommended that in the county
auditors office. one Of the probation
officers be used as the deputy.
It is recommended that the county
clerk and recorder dispense with the
filing clerk and do this work. which
keep an expert continuously employed,
himself.
It is recommended that the treasurer
find some means Of reducing the ex-
pense of his office but commends high
ly the deputy treasurer and clerks"
The assessor. the committee feels,
should materially decrease the ex-
penses of his office.
1t is suggested that the sheriff find
some means of decreasing the expense
of his office but no criticism is offer
ed, nor is any criticism made of the
county attorneys office.
1t is deplored that in some cases the
activities of the committee have been
resented.

of this sum is scattered over term
Of wears. It would seem that dur
ing the last six months this tax
came to 7,3s4,ooo,ooo, and that dur
ing the next six months the pay
ment will be very much smaller. At
the present rate of German ex-
change this would be less than
S1oo,ooo,0o0 for the entire year.
The figures give some support to
the statement heretofore made that
prior to the imposition Of this tax
"a good deal of German capital es-
capped from the country to Holland,
Sweden and Switzerland to avoid
the 20 per cent deduction.

will be highly pleasing to the rail-
roads, not so much because it in
sures to them fractional raise in
rates above tho statutory three
cents a mile, as because it estab-
fishes the principle that they are
under the rule Of one authority in
the matter Of rates when it comes
to a final showdown. One of their
complaints has always been that
they were under orders of too many
bosses in the operation of their
railroad property, and that they
often got conflicting orders from
different bosses in the different
states to the dctriment of efficient
operation Of the property. The es-
tablishment of the. principle that
the interstate commerce commits
sion has supervision and authority
over the states even when the state
authority is expressed in statute
law, so far as the making of rates
goes, will be a welcome one to the
railroads, as it simplifies their task
a good deal.
Incidentally it makes our state
railroad commissions largely IN
necessary and ornamental. OF
course in Montana the state rail
way commission is also ex officio
our public utility commission, and
in this work there is ample field to
occupy its energy and enable it to
perform useful service to the state,

GERMAN TAXES

THERE is a good deal of talk,
: especially in France about the
failure of Germany to tax her peo-
pie heavy enough. 1t is not to be
wondered at. France wants Ger
many to pay up her indemnity debt
faster. 1t is fact not singular to
France, that most people think
some other fellow should pay more
taxes than they do. The conpan-
ion fact is they also think they
should pay less taxes than they do.
France itself is taxed far more
lightly than Great Britain is taxed.
In fact few countries in the world
are carrying SO heavy tax burden
at this time as does Great Britain
The United States comes next so
far as the richer classes are con-
cerned. at least. However, Ger
many is certainly paying pretty
stiff taxes. A recent Berlin report
! gives the sum total raised in the
last six months from German
taxes. The figures are in marks
and refer to millions, so that six
ciphers should be placed after each
figure given to give the true fig
ures.
| German tax receipts (not inelud-
ing receipts from postal and rail
road services) were 85o,000,0oo
marks more in November, 1921,
than in October, and 2,l36,00o,o00
marks more than in September.
| November's figures arc an ad-
vance of 15o per cent over Novem-
Der, 1920, the greater part being
due to the depreciation of the
mark.
Income tax receipts account for
large part of November's adj
vance. Emergency levies and
stamp duties also played a
part. Professional purchase duties
brought in 2s6,ooo.ooo marks as
against 1o6,ooo,ooo in October. Elk
port duties yielded considerable
more, as following figures show
marks:

those granted by the state, and
state rights and state sovereignty
have been greatly weakened and in
fact almost destroyed.
We are not prepared to say that
this is bad thing, or one to re-
greet. The reason for state rights
has largely passed away with the
melting of the people into one ma
ton. When the states were first
organized as separate sovereign
states they were very different
peoples, having very different
opinions, and separate and often
conflicting interests. Each state
was jealous of its own sovereignty
and independence, so much so that
it was quite difficult to get them
to cede to the federal government
enough power to give it life and
authority. That state of things has
long passed away and the growth
of federal power at the expense OF
state rights no longer agitates the
residents and citizens Of a state
very much, except as it interferes
with some purpose and desire on
their part at the time. As theory,
states rights has lost its vigor to a
large extent.
So far. as this decision goes it
