The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1924-08-14

AS its primary object the enact
G of legislation which will save
for Montana $50, 5000 in federal
aid road funds which have been al
loted to Montana for the years 1925
and 1926 and which must other
wise eve to the government and
be lost to the state, the Montana
Good Roads and Automobile As
ISOLATION was formed in Helena
recently.
The perfecting of this organization
was accomplished at a meeting of the
Montana executive good roads COM
mittee, which was formed about two
years ago. The association elected
as its president Sid Coffee of Mis-
soula, and as it's secretary-treasurer,
Charles H. Roberts, also of Missoula.
An executive committe of seven,
each member to represent a certain
district of the state, was authorized
and will be appointed at a subsequent
date by President Coffee. This COM
mittee will then work out the details
of the organization along the lines
approved at the meeting in the adop-
tion of the following ideas:
The Purpose of Association
THAT a plan of information be ar
ranged looking to a progressive road
program to include within it's pur-
poses the establishing of a state fund
through legislation, using the auto
mobile license tax and the gasoline
tax at least sufficient in size to match
up all the federal aid fund available.
That the officials and the commit
tee be requested to take under con-
sideration the formation of a perma-
nent statewide organization which
shall consistently urge the construc-
ton and maintenance of the state
system of highways as soon as the
enabling funds can be secured for
this purpose and the time shall seem
ripe to do So"
The melting adopted a suggested
slogan as: "Give us a dollar and we'll
save you ten," and endorsed the adj
ministration of the state highway
Sid j. Coffee informed the meet
ing that his idea was the formation Of
a state automobile association, which
would devote the major part of its
attention to the good roads movement
but that in order for such a move
to succeed it would require
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year and
the services of an efficient secretary,
he did not believe feasible at
this time.
Immediate Action Necessary.
Congressman Scott Leavitt told of
the disposition of the congressional
on public roads and of the
government in general to ignore
states which did not do their share
n the construction of highways I'M
der federal aid, and he condemned
The plan of devoting motor licenses
and gasoline tai funds to purposes
other than in the building and up
keeping of roads.
O. S. Warden of Great Falls, ex-
that unless state funds were
made available allotments of federal
or 1925, would revert to the govern
rear 1925, $~1,345,00 would like
wise revert and be lost to Montana

different points in the state were.

.ROBABLY the most start

ROBABLY the most star
ling piece of news ever ser
out of Montana was the ar
nouncement of the massacre 0
General Custer and his comman
in 1876. The terrible news cam
like a bolt from a clear sky an
brought a feeling of sickening hor
ror to every man who read it o
heard it on the street. There wer'
friends and relatives of the slail
men in all parts of the nation ant
the gallant commander was him
self something of a national hero
For two days the nation waitec
breathlessly for information re
garding the disaster additional t.
the brief announcement of the cal
amity that had been sent out as
soon as the news had reached Bis
marck, N. D., which was then the
extreme northwestern office of the
telegraph company. The first
message was a brief one, but after
all it told the whole story.
That message was a bit of @wire
talk" sent from Bismarck to Fargo
on the morning of July 5, 1876, and
it said, "All the Clusters are killed"
The message was sent by ]. M.
Carnahan, who as late as 1900 was
manager Of the Western Union Of
flee at Missoula, and it was thus
that the news was first sent east
ward.
From Fargo it was repeated to
St. Paul, and St. Paul sent it, in
turn to Chicago, and from there it
was passed along to cities, towns
and hamlets, telling its brief but
terrible story, tersely but complete
ly.
There was but a single wire east
from Bismarck in those days and
government business had the first
call upon this. Consequently oper-
ator Carnahan had only time to
flash forward this brief message
Of general information before he
was compelled to begin the trans
mission of the official report of
General Terry to the war depart
nent. For "a hours he sat at the
Key clicking off this mass of Of
Ficial correspondence.
All this time the eastern papers
we're c1amoring for news, but it
could not be given them. So per-
'istent YER these demands for
news that Mr.. Carnahan obtained
he permission of Colonel Smith,
he member Of Terry's staff who
lad brought in the official dis
catches, to make up a short "spe-
ial" from the information obtained
the reports of the officers. This
pecial was sent to the New York
Herald and is believed to be the
irst authentic news of the Little
Sig Horn massacre that was sent
ut, aside from the official dis
atches.
J. M. Carnahan, the operator who
ent this message and who later :
-ansmited all of the kilograms
orwarded by special correspond !
nts who were in the field, was an {
ld-time telegrapher. He learned !
is profession in the little office at +,
thens, Ohio, when he was II +

Davis Claims Own Election Now Is
Assured.

John W. Davis in an authorized state
ment last Saturday made his first claim to
the election on November 4th of the
Democratic ticket.
More than once before he had publicly
expressed his confidence in the outcome
Of the campaign. but he could not be per-
suaded TO 60 beyond that until he personally
had canvassed fifteen States East and
West. and had satisfied himself, as he
puts 1t, that this is Democratic year."
He also declared 1t to be his fixed opin-
ion that the election will not 60 into
Congress. and should not 60 there, but il
Democrat would be the next President OF
the United States.
As the political situation presents itself
TO him. Mr.. Davis said he is assured of an
unbroken South and of Maryland. West
Virginia. Kentucky. Oklahoma and Mis-
souri,. commonly called the border States,
and finally that he could count upon enough
Eastern. Middle Western and Far Western
States to achieve the necessary 266 votes
in the Electoral College.
The Democratic candidate declined to
name at this time the other States which
he believes he will carry but it is well
known that among others he has been
promised Rhode Island. New Hampshire.
New Jersey. Delaware. Indiana, Nebraska.
Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and New
Mexico. Also he has been told that New
York. Ohio. Illinois and Montana must be
regarded as doubtful.
Although convinced that he is going to
win this fight in the Electoral College. Mr..
Davis refuses to be frightened by the
possibility Of the election being thrown
into Congress He declared that "the
pillars Of society will not fall" in such an
event, also that Republican National
Chairman Butler is mistaken in asserting
that there is a Democratic-La Toilette
conspiracy" to deadlock the Electoral
College

Farmers Tell President How They
Are Hurt By Tariff.

Attacks made by farmers organizations
on the Republican profteers' tariff. which
is costing agricultural producers hundreds
Of millions year. are greatly worrying
the Coolidge managers. In previous presi-
Dental campaigns. the Republican Ma
tional Committee has always stressed the
tariff as boon to farmers. but the agri-
cultural organizations have been investi-
eating and find that for every dollar the
agricultural producer gets from the pro
lection" on his products he pays about SIS
in higher prices for the commodities he
has to buy.
The American Farm Bureau Federation,
representing several millions of farmers, on
September goth wrote President Coolidge
letter pointing out the disparity between
the protection" received by the farmer
under the Fordney- McCumber law and the
amount taken from him in tariff taxes on
his consumption.
The surcharge in domestic prices due
to over-protection under the present tariff
law is generally accepted to be about
$4,000.000.000 year" said the Farm
Bureau Federation to President Coolidge
IF the farmers represent one half the pur-
chasing power Of the country. it follows
that the present law is costing the farmers
about two billion dollars annually. The
benefit which they receive from the tariff
is but small proportion Of this enormous
sum. n
IF the farming STATED of Washington,
Idaho and Oregon are selected as illustra-
tive. it has been authoritatively computed
that their gains from the agricultural
schedules Of the law are only $4.560,000
annually as compared with loss on all
schedules of $99,87l,OOO. Similar ten
denotes are exhibited by other States"
In previous study Of the effect of the
Republican profteers's tariff on agricul-
ture. the Farm Bureau Federaton's own
expert economists found that the net loss to
farmers. after making allowances for every
penny Of advantage the tariff gave them
in higher prices for their products. was not
less than $30l. 100000 year. In other
words. these experts proved by investiea-
ton that the Fordney- McCumber law con-
tanned few pretenses of protecting" the
farmers while In reality It included them
among the millions Of Americans who are
being taxed and exploited for the enrich
ment Of special interests.
There are about 100000 men. women
and children on the farms of the United
States. The tariff costs every one Of these
millions $40 year over and above every
dollar Of benefit they derive from it. For
family Of FIVE that is $50 a year-the
equivalent of 8 per cent interest on $833.
