ance of the work and the good re-
suits being obtained through this o.
ganization. He was followed by Sam
Owen, scout executive of the Butte
county Of boy scouts. who told of the
work being done in that city.
Mr.. Owen is a mans man. and a
boys man, also. In his talk he gave
some of the experience OF boys in
Butte, both before aud after their be-
coming associated with the boy scouts.
Re told of the work he found so ap-
Dealing to himself, stating that those
men who are giving their time to this
work, would not give it up for any
money.
The boy scout work in Butte, Mr..
Owen stated, is being fostered, inanc-
ed and looked after personally, by
the big men of the city. He told of
some of the men whose business is
most important, requiring great at
tentien to detail, yet they were Civ
ing a portion of their time daily, al
| most, to the boy scout work.
To hear Mr.. Owen talk is to be an
enthusiastic supporter of the boy scout
movement. It's training of the boy

| his honor to do the right thing, with
out binding him with, too many re-
| strictions, teaching him to do a serv-

scout is reverent, honorable, loyal,
thrifty" stated Mr.. Owen, because
he wants to do the right thing. He
may make mistakes, but he will not
wilfully do wrong. He must be given
the chance to make good when he
makes a mistake, and he will do So"
The real feature of the evening
was the presenting of a frst-class
scout badge to Edward Dean, son Of
DR.. w. E. Deem, who has worked
hard for nearly a year to earn the
badge. He was presented to Sam
Owen, scout executive of Butte, by
Professor Morse, scout master of
Troop Number One of Bozeman, and
received the badge with the usual for
mality. The members of the club
stood and saluted the new hrst-class
scout.
After the meeting adjourned, the
ladies were taken home, and members
of the Rotary club returned to the
Elks' home to discuss the establishing
of a frst-class scout district in Gal

can be accomplished and the approx

the state. He called attention to the
states debt, which he said would
reach four or five million dollars be-
fore it was time TO pay taxes again.
He said he had heard more abOst
economy in the last six weeks than
be had heard proposed in 20 years, but
he doubted whether dispensing with
the services of a state clerk or stem
ographer here and there would help
much. 1t was the state institutions,
he said, that had piled up the costs
and added to the states debts, for
which the people themselves were to
blame, because they had voted for
these Improvements.
1t is the farming industry that has
been hit the hardest, he said. He read
newspap clippings quoting state
ments from Dorsey Hager, whom he
considered a reliable oil field expert,
showing what had been achieved in
the Cat Creek and Kelvin fields. He
called attention to the Standard Oil
company's having declared a dividend
OF 400 per cent last year and of its
subsidiary companies having declared
dividends Of 200 per cent. On this

oil industry could well afford to pay
increased taxes. He said that the
legislature has a problem before it
which should be solved m a business
way. He said that the state debt and
the cost Of operation of state govern
ment could not rightfully be charged
TO this administration. Such a condl-
ton had been accumulating, he said,
for several administrations In the past
and something must be done to raise
money with which to meet the cos.
of state government operations anc
to wipe out the state debt.
He said there was no truth in the
statement that 8 per cent license ta2
would drive the oil industry from thi.
state. He pointed to Texas and Okla
homa, where a 3 per cent license tai
is in effect and stated that the gov
ernor of Texas advocated a 5 per cen
tax. Still, he said, there is no dis
position on the part of oil companie
to cease development work there. Tn
only difference, he said. between Okla
homa and Montana is tn fact tina
Oklahoma has a surplus Of S 100000
in its treasury, while Montana q
present is $3,000,0 900 in debt. He sal
he heard the same arguments tw
years ago when the license tax wa
first proposed for this state, and wit
a l per cent tax now in effect, instea
of the oil industry being driven frol
the state, it has been steadily increa:

MEMORIAL ON
ENGINEERING BUILDING

The new 100000 engineering
building of the Montana State Col
lege will be dedicated during COM
mencement week in June to W. Minor
Roberts, pioneer railroad builder.
A memorial tablet will be placed in
the building by the Northern Pacific
railway.
w. Minor Roberts was chief engf-
neer of the Northern Pacific when the
pioneer northwestern line was only
a paper railroad" He affixed its
QUITE from Lake Superior to Puget
Sound. His genius and technical skill
led him to locate the tracks where
they would always have a remarkable
roadbed, easy grades and curves, and
would pass through a region Of great
scenic beauty.
MIR. Roberts notable achievements
as an engineer were recognized by
his election to tn presidency of the
American Socity or Engineers, il
: 187S-1979. When Montana author

. neering building at Bozeman, it wa
thought fitting that it be named afte.

The inscription on the Northerl
Pacific memorial tablet describes MI
Roberts contribution to the develop
ment of the State of Montana an
pays tribute to his genius.
