The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-11-27

" HE 1O4th governor to rule Montana during a period of two
hundred and thirty-fiye years will be the distinction accorded
Il Governor-eIect j. e. Erickson when he shall assume office
the first of January, 1925. Goyernor-elect Erickson has been a re-
sident of Montana for "a years, coming originally to Choteau, Te-
ton county, where in 1898 he was elected to the office of county at
torney, which office he held for six consecutive years. He was ee-
waited to the judgeship of the 18th Judicial district. comprising Teton
and FIathead counties in 1904, and served in that capacity until mis-
resignation in 1915. At this time, he resumed the practice of law,
making his home in Kaispe1.
To look back over the list of dgnitaries who have served as
governing head of Montana, dating back for scores of years prior to
the time that this commonwealth became a territory, and later en-
tered statehood, is to review much of the history of the West. Be
ginning with the appointment of Sauyole by France, 235 years ago,
and dating down through the stirring history of Louisiana territory,
the formation and brief existence of the many territories of which
this state a at one time a part, the formation of Montana territory,
itself, and the eventual entry of Montana to the Union of states, is
unravelIed the wonderful story of the Vests great frontier.

introduced in previous Congresses,

A bill for free text books has been
introduced in previous Congresses,
but no hearings have ever been held
on such a measure, DIR. Ballou says.
The Board of Education, he says, has
agreed not to undertake to push such
a measure in this session Of Congress.
Another measure which the school
officials believe should be put through.
and at this session of Congress, would
exempt teachers and officers from
the provisions of section 6 of the leg
islative, executive and judicial act,
which prevents a teacher or officer
more than $4,000 annual salary from
teaching in a night school or Summer
school. DR.. Ballou says with regard
to the proposed bill:
I'm view of the higher compensa-
tion of teachers under the provisions
of the new salary schedule, a large
number of the better teachers and all
the officers are excluded from teach.
ing in night schools. This exclusion
of many of our best teachers makes
it necessary to employ in the even
ing schools persons who are not
trained teachers. This initiate s

1T is the purpose Of this proposed
legislation to remove the aforemen-
toned restriction from applying to
public school teachers and officers.
The need for this legislation is so
obvious and, I believe. the general
principle involved will be so heartily
approved that this bill should find no
opposition in Congress"

Under the present Constitution the

cluding the retiring Senators) choos-
es the Vice President whenever no
person has received majority OF
the electoral votes.
In order that these duties may de-
yolye upon the new Congress, the
first section Of the proposed amend
ment provides that presidential terms
shall begin January "a and the terms
OF Members Of Congress on January
4. This permits tho new Congress to
assemble and affords It 20 days, be-
fore the terms 6f the President and
Vice President begin, In which to
count the electoral votes and to make
the choice II a majority has not been
received. In order to provide ample
notice and opportunity to attend. and
to prevent any possible retroactive
Interpretation, 1t is provided in sec

effect on the 30th day Of November
following the ratification OF the

These results can be obtained oniS
by a constitutional amendment. OBJ
viously the new Congress must meet
and the term Of the new members
must begin prior to the date on which

SEEKS W|DEN|NG
OF MORE STREETS.
Hagner Asks Broader Road
way on Thoroughfares to
Dupont Circle.

Widening OF more streets in the
District OF Columbia as an aid in pre-
venting traffic accidents is suggest
ed by Randall H. Hagner, local real
estate dealer. in a letter to Senator
L. Heisler Ball. chairman OF the Sen
ate District committee. In the letter
Mr. He9ner commends the present
campaign OF the police department
vigorously to prosecute vtolators OF
the traffic laws. but points out that
accidents are bound to continue until
streets are made wide enough to ac-
commodate the constantly increasine
stream OF vehicles.
Two streets mentioned by Mr.. Hag-
ner for Immediate widening are Sew
enteenth from Pennsylvania avenue
to x, and Connecticut avenue from +
street to Dupont Circle. Both Of these
streets, he claims. are among the
most used thoroughfares in the Dis
trict. connecting. as they do, the
most thickly populated residential
section with the business and Gov.
ernment locations.
"As an illustration of the impractical
proportion Of these streets as COM
pared with the sidewalk and parking
beg to give the following facts"
said Mr.. Hagner.
Says RONdway Too marrow.
THE roadway on Seventeenth street
from Pennsylvania avenue north to
l. street with a double car track in
the center is only 45A feet wide
from curb to curb: there is on each
ing and sidewalk, making a total of
60h feet Of roadway, which roadway
as above stated has to afford facilities
for a double car line track.
Connecticut avenue from X street
north to Dupont Circle has a 50-foot
roadway from curb to curb, having TO
furnish facilities for a double car line
track-and incidentally this car line.
which continues down Seventeenth
any In Washington, whereas on each
side here Is 40 feet of parking and
sidewalk. so feet In oil.
practically the entire parking on
both Seventeenth street and Connec-
ticut avenue is nothing moro than
sidewalk, because the majority of it
Is cement, SO 1t really means that on
Connecticut avenue proper there is so
feet Of sidewalk with so feet Of road
way and on Seventeenth street there
Is 601a feet of sidewalk. as COM
pared with 49k feet OF roadway.
Dangerous to Traffic.
You will find upon investigation
that there Is scarcely any place in
Washington where there are more
collisions and accidents than on Con-
necticut avenue and Seventeenth street
in the sections mentioned.
II should be very glad to supply
you with any further information. I
think that the Commissioners are
very desirous OF maintaining trees on
these thorou-hfares; the quality of
trees, however, on both Of these
streets is very Indifferent, and 1t
would seem to me that IL the proper
widening of the streets necessitatsd
the losing Of these trees and the
planting of others. this would be bet
ter than. to continue conditions which
now exist"
