FEARS MONOPOLY OF
Freight BUSINESS
Marsh Senses Danger to Truck
erS in Senate Bill

Passage OF the bill now pending in
the U. S. senate at Washington to
regulate interstate commerce by mo-
tor trucking by federal supervision.
Twin eliminate individual motor
truck transportation from the high
ways, entirely, according TO state
ment made by Deputy L, s. Marshal
a. p, Marsh of this city. MIR, Marsh,
who is owner OF the lntcr-urban
Transfer Co, Is state secretary Of the
! Connecticut Motor Truck association
and Is a member OF tho national
ways and means committee TO de-
wise plans to fight the bill. He has
recently returned from Washington
where conference was held behind
| closed doors between motor truck
owners, Conferences have been
held this week In Hartford, New
Haven and New York.
So serious is this bin felt 10 be
that It is understood that motor
truck owners in Connecticut engag-
ed in inter-sta service are holding
up orders for new trucks pending
satisfactory adjustment.
The Connecticut association has
voted to fight It TO the last ditch"
Among other things, the bill pro-
yides for q board OF control or some
official body having power to regu-
late the certificates of convenience
or authority to do an Interstate
business, BY virtue Of the bin these
boards are constituted federal agen-
ces.
SO stirred are Connecticut truck
men that q special meeting of the
executive committee Of the state or
ganization has been held at New
Haven and another conference at
New York IN an effort 10 raise funds
to retain counsel TO fight the bill
The matter was slated to be brought
before the Manufacturers associa-
ton of Connecticut, which organi-
cation is said 10 be opposing it also,
and chambers of commerce through
out the United States will be asked
10 lend their aid in opposing it.
"A Vicious, drastic, betrayal of the
rights OF the people" is what Marsh
calls the bill. He says this bill
would present to the railroads the
right to monopolize all freight trans
portation, which, he says, they are
unable to handle.
The bills, he claims, would require
a truckman doing Interstate busi-
ness to take out separate permit
for each city into which he sent o
truck, every year, at cost Of 80
q permit. Separate permits would
be required to submit a specified
route over which they would travel
and they would not be permitted to
dcViate from this route except by an
additional permit.
Separate boards will be in a po-
sition to set rates on trucking so
high that We won't get the jobs or
50 low we can't handle them" he
says.
! Comments arriving at the office
OF the state secretary from local as
sociations' throughout New England
claim that the bill would be uncon-
stitutional. One section requires a
truckman applying for a permit to
operate In another state. to notify all
his competitors, including the rail-
roads, at his own expense, TO attend
a hearing on the application, which
need not be held for 20 days.

tisement OF the Anaconda Standard,

wide range of these features, includ-
ing comic strips, humorous articles,
serial story, sports, material of special
appeal to women, children's stories
and others, is Of such character that
the Standard management declares
the paper will attract every member
Of the household. Its market page is
particularly complete and well ar
ranged.
The Standard Is carrying on q cam
paign of information about Montana
that should be appreciated by all Mon
tanans. This campaign has been effec-
tive in centering attention on this
state in many sections of the country.
Montana's wonderful possibilities and
the opportunities she offers to the
home builder have been broadcast to
the nation.
AS state Journal devoted with
loyal enthusiasm to the progress and
upbuiIding of Montana, the Standard
deservs the cooperation and support
of all sections Of the state Those de-
string sample copies may obtain them

Forest Research
At the Fire Line

Missoula, Mont.-For five days this
summer, up in the Idaho Panhandle,
assistant silvirculturist II. r. Osborne
of the Northern Rocky Mountain For
est Experiment Station lived on terms
of unenviable intimacy with the swift
spreading Rode forest fire, taking
frequent measurements of humidity,
temperature, wind, and moisture of
forest fuels as the fire ragged.
In the course of these somewhat
hazardous observations on behalf of
the Forest Service of the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
Osborne noted three main obstacles to
prompt control of fires. The readiness
with which dead trees, standing or
down, increased the spread Of fire was
first remarked. Equally striking was
the important part played by the wind
even when the fire was burning
against the wind and downhill. Volume
of fuel had also remarkable effect
Within a circle of few rods some
parts of the fire burned iiercely, Others
very quietly, each influenced by nc
other factor than the amount OF fue
available.

RED CROSS AIDS
MANY THRU PUBLIC
HEALTH STATION

The development of Public Health
Nursing in Montana under the aus
pices of the American National Red
Cross has been a significant factor in
the life of the state and in the evolu
ton Of its health standards.
At the present time there are two
active Red Cross Nursing Services in
Montana, one full time service sup
ported entirely by Red Cross Chapter
funds and one service financed jointly
by Red Cross and other funds.
Since September /, 1919 the Red
Cross has inaugurated eighteen Nurs-
ing Services in Montana. Two Of
these have been taken over entirely
by public funds or other agencies and
three In part. Eleven services have
been discontinued and practically all
because Of lack of funds, showing a
need Of even a stronger and more
personal response to the Red Cross
Nursing program If its activities are
to continue in their full strength. In
dividual memberships in the organiza-
tion is the solution. The Ninth An
nual Red Cross Roll Call began this
year on Armistice Day and closed
Thanksgiving. It's success will meas
ure future Red Cross activities In the
state Of Montana. Only through O
large and solid membership can the
Red Cross continue to serve adequate
ly those who look to it for aid.
Six Montana Chapters carried 9
Life Saving program during the pasi
summer and a lively interest was
shown in the water safety work Of tho
Red Cross.
II Serve" is the motto Of the junior
Red Cross and through this ideal 9,46'

make life healthier and happier fol
their fellows. Five schools are carry
ing on inter-school correspondence
