THE FOURTH

1t took a great many years and much agitation to convince
the American people that the Fourth could be properly celebrated
in a safe and sane manner. There is no argument to support a
return to the old powder burning days of the boyhood remembered
by the elders Of this generation, though we will admit there is a
tameness about the modern celebration which reminds us of some
thing missing. The salute of thirteen guns at sunrise possessed
a thrill that brought us out of bed willingly for one morning in the
year at least, and we have no recollection of sympathy for those
of tender nerves who professed being disturbed by the din of
mimic battle and raucous sound producers. There was nothing
quiet about it from start to finish. 1t seemed proper and fit to
us and the occasion appeared to demand enthusiasm and ingenuity
in devising a newer and more penetrating and circulating racket
each recurring Fourth of July. The limit was seemingly reached
and public sentiment turned the other way, until now we celebrate
in quietness, comparatively speaking, in decorum, in short, sanely
and safely.
It is better so, for although we may miss the voice of high ex-
plosives in unseemly hours, there is much less of narrowing details
of distressing casualties in the news service of the following morn
ing. Most of US of mature age can call to mind Incidents that are
powerful arguments in favor of the present way of celebrating the
Fourth. One Fourth of July is indeibly impressed upon the mind
of the writer by the explosion of an ancient cannon, enthusiastic
ally, but indiscreely served by a squad of amateurs, followed by
instant death of a comrade struck by a flying fragment. Multi
plying incidents of a like nature, trails of fire losses running into
millions each year, and frazzled nerves gradually brought about
the modern Fourth of July.

TAXES MAY BE. LOWER

If we accept the word of Mr.. 4. A. Frantzke, secretary of the
Montana Taxpayers association, there is likelihood OF a noticeable
reduction in the tax lists that will be sent out next fall. II this
proves true, til probably the result of the general criticism waged
against official extravaganza that the newspapers of the state and
the various taxpayers leagues which have been organized and
which have functioned to a more or less extent during the past
year.
Official economy is no new-found virtue it is nothing in the
nature of a discovery either by the citizens orany organization of
taxpayers or nontaxpayers. There has never been a time when it
was not necessary in order to avoid the shoals of ~poor manage
ment, and while in times of widespread agitation for a more care
full handling of public funds the blame is apt to be laid to official
dom for any shortcomings in that direction, the facts point more
to a general civic careessness in voting the various measures for
spending the peoples money. 1t was only a few years ago that
Montana and the whole country for that matter passed through an
epidemic of bond issues. Bonds for most any old purpose could be
proposed and voted with hardly a dissent. When building costs
were at the peak of high prices, two magnificent bridges were pro-
posed in our own county, the bonds carried and the structures
erected. No doubt the bridges were needed and possibly they are
worth the money they cost, but it is going to take a long time to
pay for them. 1t is safe to say that very few taxpayers would
consider favorably a similar proposition today.
We hope Mr.. FrantZke is correct in his prophecy of lower
taxes, for it will certainly be some help to the many farmers and
others who are still delinquent in their taxes. 1t will also help if a
greater part of these delinquent taxes can be collected. 70 the
best of our knowledge there Is no bond issue either in the state or
county to come before the voters this fall and that to our notion is
a pretty good sign also. In the present temper of the mass of
taxpayers. it would certainly be a nervy promoter who would
spring a bond issue for any purpose.

AZ hour week has become practically II standard IN the United
States and in many trades and vocationthe standard is even less.
Even strikes have been inaugurated Ithe attempt to make a
shorter week for workers in certain traes and have been success
full until the al hour week prevails = 9ne cases, and even the AZ
hour week is not unknown. There has ben enough success in that
direction to encourage movements fortven shorter hours, as ex-
empifed in the present coal strike, WIN a 30 hour week was one
of the demands of the miners, with thfxcuse that 1T would mean
more steady employment by reducing fe output
The 30hour week would certauV constitute an ideal system
of social economics compared to tn system In vogue so or even
25 years ago, provided every workerwould make a wise use of his
idle time. Recreation would undoubtedly become stale and tire
some and most of us would try to fd something to do along other
lines, but for those lacking initiate or ambition, too much idle
time would prove anything but berfical. As a matter of fact,
everyone should work more than 3 hours a week, if not at their
regular employment, then at something else. No grown person of
sound health is doing his full dutyo the world or himself unless
he does all the work he is reason0ly capable of. Even now we
occasionally hear the moss-grown fgument which was used in the
campaign for making the eight nor day the standard. The argu-
ment was that a man could do as luch work in eight hours as he
could in ten. 1t is probably true hat production in all lines per
man has shown an increase since ne ~eight-hour day become COM
but that is entirely due, we light say, to improved machin-
cry and methods which are comma in every productive industry.
There must be a limit to tn reduction of working hours
sometime and students of economs are pretty nearly agreed that
in ordinary healthful occupationslt appears to have been reached
In the working day of eight hour On farms where the working
conditions are considered ideal frm a health standpoint, there is a
question whether the %eight-hour ay is of sufficient length to per-
the function of feeding tht world successfully. Of course,
here are many occupations when the %eight-hour or even the six
lour shift is impractical, rs 45e. ~"and-hog" working in compressed
ir, or that of miners where work has to be done in poorly venti-
places, or at great depths in "hot" mines, but these are
onditions usually adjusted by circumstances attending each par
icular case, and have no bearing upon a standardized days work.

ROADSIDE ADVERTISING

Newspaper men are not strong advocates of roadside adyer-
Using and are able to produce on short notice weighty arguments
as to its futiity. This is only natural, as the average newspaper
man is willing and generally able to prove by authentic statistics
conducted newspaper campaigns. However that may be, the fact
is pretty evident to those who use the public roads to any extent
that a greater share of the roadside advertising is a sheer waste
of good money.
The biggest trouble with the average road sign these days
of fast travel is their ilegibIity. When old Dobbin furnished the
of time to peruse the information gratuitousy extended in DIR.
Wheezes prolx announcements of the advantages to be gained by
experimenting with his Pure Putty Pills, and even the fororn
and weatherbeaten card representing the blasted hopes of a by
gone political aspirant generated a mild interest and furnished a
theme for reflection upon the uncertainties ofghfe In general But
in these days of multiple cylinders and high priced gasoline we
are going somewhere when we hit the road and no matter how
much we thirst for information, the average road sign lacks the
power to lift our foot from the accelerator. If seen at all 1t has got
to be read at anywhere from twenty-five to fifty miles an hour
and it's a mighty brief announcement that can be assimilated at
present day rates of speed. Under these considerations. it doesn't
require a very forceful argument to estimate the advertising value
of the average roadside announcement.
Even the designers of guide boards could with advantage to
the travelling public, give a little study to the matter of briefness|
in their information. The ordinary driver of a car is only inter-
ested in whether he is going in the right direction or not, and has
little concern with any but the next town ahead. He don't have the
time or inclination to read a list of all the postoffices in the county
An especially bad practice, which is all too common, is the allowing
ners and at points where diperging roads occur The more modest
guide boards at these places are thus made douby difficult to find
by the driver of a rapidly moving car. No advertising sign should
be allowed within one hundred yards, at least of a county guide
board. We believe the county commissioners have the power to
make q ruling to that effect and also to enforce it.
In line with the foregoing we will pass along a hint TO all those
whose business is to cater to the passing automobile trade-have
your trade sign prominent and above all, brief one word is best of
eli, ~ garage gas, ice cream" SO that "he who runs-or rath-
er fies-can read
