OUT OF TOWN TRAVELLERS
BIG ASSET TO CITY

Continued From Page 0ne)
that no better public schools can be
found anywhere has had a great in
fuence, no doubt, in attracting COM
mercial travellers and their families
to this city. In addition to the splen-
did school facilities, the clean moral
atmosphere of the city, the beautiful
surrounding scenery, the splendid
climate, and the fact that it is one
of the healthiest places on earth IN
which TO live, all have had their in
fiuence in attracting people. who de-
sire an ideal place of residence. The
location of the city is most suitable
for a residence for commercial travel
ers because it is near the center OF
the state, permitting trips to be made
easily in all directions therefrOm. No
doubt the well known hospitality Of
the community toward strangers has
had something to do also with the
location of so many commercial travel
ers in BOzeman and a continued spirit
of friendliness and welcome upon the
part Of our citizens will not alone en-
courage the selection Of this city as
a home by others engaged in a SINH
lar line, but it will be the means Of
keeping within our midst those who
are here.
Are Good Advertisers
The resident commercial traveller Is
one of the best advertising mediums
that a wide-awake city has. Every
man feels like boosting for his home
town and the commercial traveller, by
reason of his occupation, visits many
different towns, cities and communi.
ties, and is thus able, in a very sub
stantial way, TO advertise the re
sources and opportunities of his place
Of residence. BOzeman is to be con.
graduated that it has within heI
midst such an available advertising
medium.
The growth of local WHOLESALE
houses has also had its bearing upOI
the number Of commercial traveller
residing here.
While BOzeman is not noted in /;
general way as a payroll town, it vii
b observed that the expenditure O
$4,000 per year by this small grOul
is Il of it's most valuable assets.

jected to. He explained how ne came
to be a defendant in the case by say
ing that his former competitor, Mr..
Tice, came to him at one time and
said that he, with his smaller bakery,
compelled to pay as much as the
Bon Ton, which was doing, by far,
a larger volume of business. Mr..
Graf thought that if his own license
fee of SIS was right and proper, then
the city vas charging Mr.. Tice en-
tirely too much.
Went Lawyer One Better
In answer to Attorney Athens
question as to what Mr.. Graf con-
sidered a fair and equitable license
fee in his case, the baker replied that
if Mr.. Aitken, who, together with all
the attorneys, is exempt from pay
ment of a city license fee, would pay
$25 per year, he, MIR. Graf, would be
pleased to pay $50. To this, Mr.. Aitken
made no reply. Mr.. Graf, in an inter-
view with the Courier man, denied
emphatically that he ven intimated
that he was not paying enough of d
license fee. He said he merely testif-
ed that he wanted to see the amounts
adjusted more nearly in proportion
to the amount Of business done by
the various firms.
The contention of Attorney Kelley
is that, under the state law, a city
is not permitted to collect back city
license fees, that remained, for any
reason, unpaid.
The present case, far from settling
the much mOoted and long-drawn out
city legal controversy, appears to have
led to a further and a more difficult
complication, in that many of those
who had paid their 1923 license, now
refuse to pay their 1924 license until
the city succeeds in collecting the
1928 license from the SO defendants
nothing having been said about others
not members of the Bozeman Wei
fare association, who also had either
failed or refused to make last years
payment. This matter was the para
mount issue in last falls election, and
resulted in the election of at least twl
of the present commissioners.
