taking a part Of the burden from the property
tax. It simply places the cost of keeping roads
in good condition upon tho2e who use the roads
the most. Today the autoist uses the public high
way on a ratio of about 80 per cent, so that it
is but fair they should provide the greater pOr-'
ton of funds needed for maintenance.
Tourists travelling through a state form their
opinion, in most instances, of the state, by the
kind of roads they find. They viii gladly pay
their share for keeping up the roads, for the
pleasure of touring by auto is increased or dimin-
ished to just the extent of the highways being
good or bad. The automobile tourist will increase
each year for many years to come. This form of
seeing the country and of making business trips
is only just in its infancy. Every year finds
larger numbers using the automobile instead of
trains for travelling.
Some argument has been put forward by those
mot favoring a gasoline tax to- the effect that
tourists will avoid a state where a tax of 2 cents
per gallon is charged. Nothing of the sort viii
/ occur. A letter written since the conference o.
| governors, by a tourist who travels over the
whole United States and Canada, states 81 an
strong for the 2 cents per gallon tax, as tina
. i seems to be the most fair road tax. The fellow
who Uses the most gas surely uses the most road
!. and that is the fair way to tax after all, l believe
IWhen wv travelled through Washington and Ore
gon last year, we paid the tax and never kneV
of it until it was called to our attention. Tourist
are always willing to contribute to road maintt
nance in that way, 1 am sure"
Discussing this point with many tourists ha
brought the same sentiment from practically a
of them. So it will be worth while for the men
lbers of the legislature that meets in January
: put a 2 cents per gallon tax law upon the statute
of Montana.

It is because teachers salaries are universally
so low, that the youth of our country is not at
tracted to the normal school, or the teachers
college. Young men desire to enter some pro-
fession that will assure them of earning sufficient
remuneration to provide them with comfort, and
a reasonable amount of luxuries. Young women
are more and more taking their place in the eco
structure of our country, and prepare them
selves for other vacations where the reward is
more in keeping with the effort, the education,
and the ability required.
The administration Of the affairs of state and
nation depends now upon its citizens OF legal age
or over. 1t will be but a few years until 1T will
be depending upon those who are children today.
If these children are not properly taught, well
educated, highly taught, the future citizen of
America will be ignorant, unable to think clearly
or properly, to plan for the country or to carry
on the work of this nation in its forward course
If the child of today is the voter, or the leg
isIator of tomorrow, then the teacher of today
is the maker of the nation of tomorrow. Th'
best of teachers, paid well enough to enable then
to give their best to our children in education
should be recompensed accordingly. They SHOULD
be none too good for America. The highest typ
obtainable should be employed.
If this week, known as Education Week, ca
awaken the electorate to the need of the best
the need of paying for the best, it will not hav
been held in vain.

lives are saved throughout the country that other
wise would be lost to usefulness.
tuberculosis for many years was CONSIDERED
the dread disease from which there was no escape,
once it had fastened it's t~entacles upon the body;
this mistaken belief has been removed through the
heroic work of those who risked their lives IN
study of the disease. 1t has been learned that
pure air, plenty of sunlight, proper foods together
with correct and systematic exercise, regular hab-
its, under the supervision of reliable physicians
and nurses will bring about a cure. The disease
has been proven durable. All that is needed is
the funds with which these necessities can be
furnished those who otherwise would not be able
to afford them. For the disease is most rampant
among those whose condition forces them to live
in unhealthy surrounding until they are seized
with this dread disease.
So the Christmas Seal is offered, that in pur-
lchasing them, you can do your part toward saving
the lives of those threatened or suffering from
tuberculosis. If it were possible to give the
900, 900 cases in the United States the sum of
$2i15 each, per year, practically all could be
q saved, at the same time eliminating this disease
I entirely. Buy some Christmas seals.

EDUCATION WEEK.

This week is being observed throughout the
United States as Education Week, with the pur-
pose of bringing forcefuIly to the attention of the
people the need of educating the youth of the
nation. Elaborate programs are being followed
in some cities, and in some counties of the state
a series of discussions are being held in the schools
detailing the value of education.
The good that can result to the cause of edu-
cation through holding Education Week, cannot
be told for it is far reaching. Should it do no more
than to focus public attention upon the need of
adequate teaching staffs in our public schools it
will serve a good purpose. The need of ~instruc-
tors properly ftted.for their work, with the proper
personality to come in contact with the student,
having the gift of creating proper relationship be-
tween pupil and teacher is important. The pos
session of a teachers certificate is not the most
important requisite for success in the schoolroom.
There must be something else with it whereby
the instructor can convey to the instructed ar
understanding of what is being taught.
In many schools there are instructors without
the ability to instruct. This is usually due tt
the inability of those in authority to view the
situation with enough breadth of vision to realize
that successful teaching is a highly skilled, spe
cialized work, requiring the highest type of man
hood or womanhood deserving of an adequate
recompense. Because teachers salaries are uni
versally so low, those who do continue in tina
noble profession, do so for the love of the work
its ideals, a sense of duty and the religion O
service.

sOLIN TAX.

Western governors in convention in San Fran
cisco expressed approval of a tax on gasoline sales
for the purpose of building and maintaining public
highways. The sentiment of the people in gen.
eral throughout the country seems to favor such
a method of collecting funds for road building, Sc
that the governors have but shown they are in
accord with public opinion.
Many states have such a tax in operation, and
it has been working with such favorable results
as to attract the attention of legislatures of other
states. Within a few years, without doubt, al
the states will have this form of tax in operation
giving a large sum for road maintenance, thereby
