Butte. Dee. 26.-That the present
method of sentencing drug addicts is
entirely inadequate was the assertion
made by Sheriff sLarry Duggan, who
declares that he will journey to Helena
to seek to have the law amended in
such a manner that drug o~ffenses
would no longer be classed as mis-
d~emeanors, with the maximum penalty
three months in the county Jail, but as
a felony carrying a penitentiary sen
tence.
I'VE nave no manner in which we can
fight drug addicts." said Mr.. Duggan
in discussing the drug question. We
can. of course. give them three years
in the county jail, but three years con
tInement in that Jail would kill a man.
There is no room TO exercise and no
facilities that can be found in the state
pe%nitentiary.
They should Be sent to the state
institution. If this is done. Butte soon
will be rid of the addicts. There are
not many. and the drug traffic in Butte
is rnder better control than in any city
of Its size in the country.
II does no good to place a drug ad-
dict in Jail for 80 or 60 days. In this
time the habit is not broken: instead
the man OF woman leaves the i~nstitu-
ton with the same craving for drugs
he or she possessed when sentenced"

will authorize a justice of the peace to

RAIL BOARD SEEKS
LOWER TARIFF FOR
MOUNTAINS SHIPPERS
Complaint Charges Freight
Rates Are So Unjust They
Discourage Production.

Helena. Dec. 26.-(By The Asso.
ciated Press. Lowering of freight
rates on grain from Montana ship
ping points to both eastern ano
western markets is asked III a com
! plaiut prepared by the state rail
road commission, which will file the
document with the Interstate Com,
meree commission Immediately.
No specific reduction in the pres
eut freight charges on grain and
grain products is requested i'll the
complaint. but the contention is made
that increases in freight rates by
the railroads constitute a breach of
the implied contract under which the
farmers Of Montana acquired their
land. many Of them from the railroad
Montana 400 miles farther from the
grain markets.
The complaint. which charges that
present rates on grain are "un-
reasonable. unjust. unfair. operate to
the distress of farmers and grain
producers and discourage production
of basic products" is directed
against the Butte, Anaconda & Pa
cific railroad; the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy; the Chicago. Milwau-
kee & st. Paul: the Great Northern;
the Montana Western railroad; the
Northern Pacific. the Oregon Short
Line: the Oregon-Washington Rail
road & Navigation company; the
Spokane. Portland & Seattle; and the
White Sulphur Springs and Yellow
stone Park railroads.
The complaint recites that:
Farm land values are fixed by
cost of transportation Of farm crops
to the price making market.
railroads were partners in the
sale and settlement of land in Mon
by the present wne
"A 40 per cent increase in rates
on wheat with no added value at
land values is inevitable.
Such reductions are equivalent to
the land affected 400 miles
from a terminal market
which fixes farm prices.
These results of the action of
the carriers bring about n set of
conditions entirely contrary to those
expressed and implied when purchase
or settlement was made and are de-
structive to the equity which the land
owner at Il time held in his land.
While the increase in rates on
grain amounts TO approximately 80
per cent over the pre-war charge.
It is much greater than that when
expressed in terms that accurately
describe the effect upon the farmer.
To Illustrate: During the war when
wheat sold at a high figure. freight
lid not amount to s or o per cent of
he final sale value of the wheat
At the terminal. Now freight prob
ably constitutes around % per cent
If the sale value at the terminal.
That means hat while the freight
expressed in dollars and
has increased 40 per cent. the
which freight takes out of the !
'arner's wheat dollar has probably |
increased 800 per cent"
The complaint points out that in
october. the Northern Pacific, the
treat Northern. the Chicago, Mil
yankee & st. Paul railroad estab-
a reduction in rates from
Western Montana points Of seven
per 100 pounds on grain to
forth Pacific coast ports for export

lines and the Hawaiian Islands. but
lid o establish a similar reduction

Car Shortage Days
of 1892 Recalled:
Faced Beer Famine

Special to The Tribune.
Harlem, Dee. 26.-Complaints
that have been lodged against the
railroads because of the shortage
of ears have recalled to the mind
of Jack Sadler. Great Northern
operator here, the A. r. L. strike
in 1894 when not a single train
passed through Harlem for IS
days.
Complaints weren't registered in
those days, he said. because the
people and shippers had never been
accorded the service of the present
lay and therefore were not per-
turbed when trains did not arrive
on schedule.
The only shortage that Harlem
folks experienced in 1892 was of
the stuffs that froths and foams
when poured into glasses and now
banned by Andrew Nolstead's de-
cree. Chinook had a surplus of
beer, according TO Sadler, and one
day when that city was short Of
flour. Il handcar was used to carry
a supply to Chinook where it was
traded for Budweiser and Schlitz.

School Notes



This was the best reproduction this
week from a reading On "Good Man.
ners" taken from Compton's Pictured
Encyclopedia.)
One Of the first stepping stones to
a happy life il good manners, and
these are within the reach Of all. The
first aim in life should be to give Of
ourselves to others and to draw others
TO us. The easiest and best way 10 at
tain the goal of success il to "Try to
get good manners and to understand
why they are good" Some think this
rule is too simple. They ask about
strength of will, genius, and clever
ness; thinking that they are the most
important factors on the road to sue
cess. But SUCCESS is not the fame or
ma~terialistic goods Of the world, it IL
a happy and c~ontented life. Professor
w. Z. II. Lecky in his book, "The Map
Of Life" says, "good and
tact allied with sound judgment would
help us more than intellectual quail
tiles or imperious strength Of will"
III OfuCT - ATTAIN SDDt ihA1!IcI5 We
must first understand them. Good
is not etiquette although out
ward manners are somewhat impor-
tant but not essential to good manners.
They are not learned from books but
are born out of our own hearts. Good
manners are the habit Of being honest
ly thoughtful in making others happy
and at ease in our presence and not
thrusting ourselves carelessly upon
them. Constituencies il the keynote
Of good manners. a person who has
them will win a welcome everywhere.

County Unit System
Success in Cascade

No longer ago than the school year
Of l3l8-l9l9, Cascade county had lS7
isolated children with no school ia
cilities; 500 children with less than
six months terms; nine schools with
seven months terms; "a schools with
eight months terms. and but 50
schools in the county with nine
months terms. These conditions were
but an inevitable result Of the district
school system under which our schools
had always operated.
Since the adoption Of the county
unit system in June, 1919, Cascade
county has provided nine months
terms for ALL the children in the
county; has raised the teacher stan
dard, and has also improved the condi-
ton Of school plants ina countrywide
way. School funds have been protect
ed and diverted into channels Of ex-
p%enditures which bring about the
greatest degree Of efficiency possible.
The amazing thing about the whole
situation is the fact that the standards
Of the present year, 1921-1922, have
been maintained upon the expendi-
lures of the same amount of moneys
expended by the same districts in the
year 1918-1919. The district system
is a most inefficient, wasteful and ex-
pensive system.
1t is true that our county unit cleo
ton cost $4,000, but it is also true
that the spreading and collecting of
school taxes under county unit have
effected a saving of county funds in
Cascade county in the amount Of at
least $4,000 per year. 1t is true that
