motor cars may also be attributable to reckless
driving.
Among the reasons given for not stopping
were:
Thought they could beat the train.
Going too fast to stop.
Defective Brakes.
Did not look.
Thought track was farther away.
Under influence of liquor.
At one crossing, amply protected by gates and
bells, an automobile was driven around a truck
which had stopped to wait for q train to pass and
through the gates and into the side of the train
In another instance where the driver of an
automobile was properly tagged but kept on until
he hit the train, the accident was witnessed by
the mayor of the town who Immediately author
lied the flagman to arrest all persons who failed
to- heed his signals.

arrest automobile drivers in order to make them

TRIBUTE TO
M GALLATIN VALLEY

There's a valley in the mountains,
That nestles in the hills,
When 1 contemplate its grandeur,
My soul with rapture thrills.
IT'S a land of rapid rivers.
Running over sands Of gold;
There's the founding of an empire,
Not half has yet been told.
This valley that so famous.
Is very dear to me
No other place just like it,
/ Ger expect to see.
The day that it was moulded.
I've heard the poet say,
The Creator broke his pattern.
On that eventful day.
In my dreams I often visit
This land Of shining wheat.
Fond mem'ries cling about it
That to me are very sweet;
For I've often heard it argued,
Twas there that life began
Where Adam ate the apple,
And then his fun began.
1 love you dear old Gallatin,
My love I can't express,
Sweet mem'ries cling about you,
That bring thoughts of tenderness;
Your lofty peaks and mountains,
That kiss the vault of blue,
Bear witness to the ages,
Twas God that fashioned you.
/ love you, old Montana,
With a love. that can't be told,
With your streams and lakes anC
rivers
And your store of wealth untold.
For your noble hearted pioneers,
Who laid your corner stone;
To hear your name repeated,
It sounds to me like home.
l know Pm moving slowly,
Towards the setting of Gfe's sun;
But, still it really seems to me,
Lies work has just begun.
When the crack of doom is sounded,
And Gabriel blows his horn,
I'll go back to old Montana,
And go out on the farm.
Here's luck to old Montana
And all her noble sons;
To her mothers and her maidens-
They are fairer than the sun.
We will meet some dav in Heaven
Sing the anthem of the free
That will rend the veil Of Hades,
And set its captives free.

TAX REDUCTION FIRST
CONCERN OF CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Tax reduc-
ton, the question uppermOst in the
public mind, will be the first subject
considered by the house Of represen-
tatives when congress opens in De-
cember, according to congressional
leaders now in Washington, some Of
whom have conferred with the presi-
dent on the subject. After the tax
bill is passed, congress will take up
the appropriation bills and then rail-
road consolidation legislation, it is
predicted.
Congressman Tilson, Of Connecti-
cut, who will be the Republican floor
leader in the next house, predicts shat
the minimum tax reduction will be
approximately $3OO,OO0,OOO. He be-
lieves that the surtax win be reduced
20 per cent, the rate on incomes il
the lower brackets to 1 per cent, on
incomes up to $4,000 to 2 per cent anC
on net incomes from $1,000 to $4,000
to 8 per cent.

sUPERLATIVE INCONSISTENCY

In a news item from England, we are naively
told that members of the British parliament,
after making speeches demanding the exclusive
use of goods of British manufacture, in the house
of commons smoking room lighted their pipes and
their cigars with matches from boxes marked
made in Czecho-SlOvakia."
This little itep speaks volumes. 1t helps to
tell the story of why some of Montana commun-
tiles 'buy at home" campaigns fail to result in
100 per cent success.
Down in Cache county, Utah, the merchants of
Logan, it's seat of government, not long ago found
themselves facing a most serious problem. After
some investigation they had discovered that not
less than $1,OOO,OOO was annually being sent out
of the county for merchandise-mostly to mail
order houses. The merchants committee of the
chamber Of commerce decided something had to
be done, and done quickly.
It is noteworthy that they grappled with this
problem in a decisive manner. The first thing
they determined to do was to 'clean house," as
there were some merchants who were not loyal
to each other and were sending away for mer-
chandise that they should have purchased locally.
Other vitality important and constructive moves
in their program were:
That there be more truth in advertising. An
article must not be marked up in order to mark
it down later for a special sale"
That a "buy at home" campaign, backed by
facts and figures and applicable with equal force
to merchant and consumer, be waged.
That the merchants of Logan and the Cache
valley patrOnize, as extensively as possible, all
home industries of whatever size or nature.
That they purchase certain articles from each
other, and not from catalog houses or establish
ments in the larger cities.
Having determined upon this campaign, they
carried it through with a will. Women's organiza-
tons, churches, farm bodies and farm commun.
ity leaders cO-operated. By contact, confidence
between the merchants and the buying public Of
Cache county was established. The result was
the saying to home trade of a large percentage
of the sum previously sent to eastern mail-ordeI
concerns.
We do not believe that Bozeman and GaIIatir
county merchants, like the British statesmen re
ferred to, are so t%houghtless or so blind to thei1
own interests as to preach "buy at home" AM
not practice it themselves. But it is obvious thai
nothing can more quickly destroy public conf
dence in a "buy at home" movement than th,
failure of those who sponsor it to observe it.

nearly all Of the states and the evil
dence bears out the staten ent that on
ditions are still improving. The fact
that the number of public dependents
is decreasing each year also indicates
that hundreds of thousands of dollars
are being saved in lessened public ex-
penditures for the almshOuses. This,
Of course, tends to reduce taxes.
Several reasons are given for the
improving conditions in the United
States. Perhaps the most Important
cause cited is the increased general
prosperity of the country and the.
fact that wealth is more generally
diffused than ever before. Living
costs r of course higher than in
1914 but they have not advanced as
rapidly as wages. People are saving
more money each year, the savings
bank statistics show, and money put
in life insurance is said to be lessen
ing the amount of dependency in old
age. Improved sanitary conditions
end the lengthening of the average
active life, of course, enable more
people to support themselves than
formerly.
In addition to the fewer number of
paupers, another important improve
ment cited, is the manner in which
they are taken care Of. Formerly
conditions in the almshouses were
bad from sanitary and other stand
points. Conditions common a genera
ton ago would not be tolerated now
showing that the ethics Of the public
has increased with it's prosperity.

ALMSHOUSE POPULATION
STEADILY DECREASING

WASHINGTON, D.C-SOme Of the
measure Of the general improvement
Of the people of the United States
during the past ten years can be
gained from the figures on pauperism
in America. In the year 1914 there
were 91.5 almshouse inmates for each
one hundred thousand people in the
United States. In the year 1928 there
were only 71.5 inmates for each 10O,-
900 inhabitants.
The improvement was general in
