No change is made in the autOmo-
bile tax money, which goes back to the
counties for use upon roads, as here
tofore. The increase of l cent per gal
lon on gasoline is provided because the
present 2-cent tax would not produce
enough money to save the federal aid,
and the counties have been largely OPP
posed to the giving up of the license
tax revenue. All of the Scent gaso-
line tax will be used for highway pur-
poses, whereas only Is per cent of the
proceeds of the present gasoline law
has been going to the state road fund
and 30 per cent going to the general
fund of the state.
This road measure that has been in
itiated was prepared after 40 heavy
taxpayers and business men have been
called into conference by a committee
of five, which was chosen by the gov
ernor. Then the state automobile as
ISOLATION undertook the circulation of
the necessary petitions.
A map has been prepared in connec-
ton with this article which shows the
mileage that has been built and will
be completed under the proposed mea-
sure. 1t is called the percent system,
! because is consists of per cent of the
total road mileage of the state, as GER
titled to the secretary of state by the
various counties. This system was
established by the department of agri-
culture at Washington under the super
vision of which government road work
is done. 1t consists of 1857 miles
available for construction on the Mon
tana federal highway system. Of this
mileage 4,671 miles has now been des-
ignated and there has been constructed
in various parts of the state little
more that 1000 miles. There remains
to be constructed when we subtract
coincident mileage within the national
forests, which can be built of 100 per
cent government money, little more
than 5000 miles.
The government is now alloting
about 81 100000 to Montana for each
fiscal year. The general government
is appropriating about $75,000,000 per
year for road purposes. This is ap-
portioned to the various states, one
third on the basis of area, one-third on
the basis Of population and one-third
on the post road mileage. There is now
available to this state about $4,500,-
600, which has been appropriated and
allotted. This sum will expire by linn
itation: Practically one-third on June
30, 1927; another third on June 30,
1929. Montana lost $655,000 of gov
eminent money on June 80, 1925.
If the initiated bill shall pass, it is
estimated that with the increased use
of gasoline, it will be possible to save
all of the federal aid money which
comes to Montana during the next 10
year period and to complete and main
tain this federal highway system
which will reach every county seat in
the state and will connect adequately
all of the principal cities and towns.
If the initiated bill shall not pass
and provision is not made in some way
for the matching of the available fed
eral aid money, then Montana must
continue to lose these funds, which,
under the federal statute are forfeited
and allotted to the other states after
they have been available in accord
with congressional appropriation for a

period of Sc months.

period of SO months.
The state automobile association has
made interesting comparisons. 1t finds
on the estimated consumption of gas
oline for the period 1927-1937, each
county would, under the present law,
receive in that period of time, $172,-
600. The initiated measure will bring
about an average expenditure in each
county of the state of $4,000. The
counties, therefore, will not only re-
ceive on an average of 81 for each
81 they give up, they will be re-
ieved of the expense of construction
and maintenance of the permanent
highways included within the federal
aid system and will be relieved per-
petually of all the maintenance of each
mile of this system after it has been
constructed, therefore, enabling the
counties to use all of their license tax
money and all county levies money
upon other roads. 1t is estimated that
the cost of completing this federal
system and of maintaining it during
the 10-year period will be $38,000,0
or $40,000,000 of which approximately
$28,000,000 will be spent in construc-
ton, $8,000,000 for maintenance, and
the balance for administration, super
vision and surveys. This is a pay as
you go plan. There will be no bond is
sue and no interest to pay.
By an examination of the map which
is presented with this article each
county can figure out quite easily how
much benefit will result to it's own
people by the construction of the mile
age which is shown and the mainten-
ance of the same throughout the 10
year period and thereafter.
Concisely speaking, this initiated |
measure provides for four important |
things:
First, it is estimated that within the
10-year period the federal highway
system Of the state can be completely
constructed.
Second, the federal highway mileage
already built and that to be built will
be maintained at the expense of the
state during the entire 10-year period
and thereafter.
Third, the total net cost of admins
tration and engineering on this federal
aid work shall not exceed for any fiscal
year per cent of the funds expended
under state supervision.
Fourth, it shall be the duty of the
state to construct this federal highway
system throughout the state, year by
year, in proportion to the amount of
mileage still to be constructed in the
various sections of the system, thus
insuring an equitable division of ex-
penditure throughout the different
If the proposed plan can be carried
out, Montana will soon have an ade-
1uate highway system for the use of
It's own people, as well as for the COM
fort Of all travellers who come this
way.

Mrs. Green said that very few
drunken people are seen on thesHtreets
Of Cleveland today. She gave figures
showing that deaths from alcoholism
in Cleveland had decreased from 80 in
1916 to z in 1924.
Mrs. Green insisted that drink as
the cause of poverty was also disap-
pearing under prohibition. f-
Il am the mother of two sons and
four, daughters" said Mrs. Green,
''and none of them tote TASKS, and as
far as I know, none of their friends
do.
Says Ohio Is Dry.
Il am a citizen of Ohio and want
to say that Ohio is dry; that in the
last election on this question it went
dry by II 900 votes. The only Repub-
lican who wonlin the primaries re-
Gently and who was defeated in the
election was a wet man, Harry l..
Davis, who was a candidate for gov
ernor and was defeated by a dry Dem
ocrat."
whether the wet and dry issue was
'No. but the people couldn't for
get" said Mrs, Green.
You mean that they couldn't forget
the iniquities OF the Republican
party?'. asked Senator Reed.
No, they couldn't forget that Davis
had promised to be dry while he was
governor and that he hadn't been
dry. was the reply. .....
Senator Reed Asked Mrs. Green if
she belonged to the Anti.Saloon
League. She said she was affiliated
with it as member of the Dry Main
tenance League and the w. c. 4. L.
Body Fought Davis.
Did YOU and the dry organization
advise the people to vote against
Davis?' asked Senator Reed.
Yes"
Then the balance of power was
held by the drys and they threw it to
the Democrats" suggested Senator
Reed.
Senator Reed questioned some of
the figures for drunkenness given by
Mrs. Green. He pointed out that
publication, which he held in his hand,
showed that there were only 1909
prosecutions for drunkenness for 1917,
while her list showed $3.50 for that
year. although the same figures were
given for the year 1928.
DR.. Haden Emerson of Columbia
University, New York. presented sta
tistics 10 show that there had been
considerable decrease in diseases at.
tributable to alcohol since prohibition.
He also presented figures, however.
showing that the death rate due eo
alcoholism since 1922 had been on the
increase. although it dropped imme-
diately after prohibition was enacted.

Mrs. Mary Coghlan, a native of
Washington, recently discovered that
she is an alein, and today took steps
to be repatriated by applying to the
District Supreme Court for naturaiiza-
ton papers. She went to (, Ireland
with her parents 20 years ago, and
later married there, without knowing
that she thereby lost her American
citizenship. The news came as
surprise to her.

Judges Delay in Making
His Decision Bodies Ill
for Sacco and Vanzetti
BY ]. LOUIS ENoDAHL.


being able to read, or to listen at
tentively while being read to, as
was the case with Judge Thayer,
could not help but decide in favor
of new trial for Sacco and Van
zetti. Such decision could have
been rendered in the brief space
of time that It takes to enter this
action into the court records.
But Judge Thayer has waited I'VE
weeks. And he continues to wait
and wait, while two workers sit in
prison innocent of the crime charged
against them, on which they have
been sentenced to death.
Attorney Thompson told this tenn
porizing Judge:
IF the government, had gone to
New Bedford and had talked with
Policeman Jacobs and the inspector,
as we said, they would have arrest
ed the Morellis. And il they had got
the evidence against the Morellis
that we got, and your honor had
been sitting as committing magis-
trate, you would have held the
Morelhs on that evidence"
Attorney Thompson also said:
ut is also a question whether, in
view Of the practices shown to be
in use between the federal officers
and the district attorney, the dig
nifty Of the state and the courts can
be maintained unless a new trial be
granted"
Attorney Thompson then pointed
out:
"A perfect dilemma exists in this
case: If Madeiros was at South
Braintree, on the evidence shown,
Sacco and Vanzetti could not have
been there; If they were there,
Madeiros could not have been
there"
Perhaps Judge Thayer is trying to
solve this dilemma in order that
justice may be. cheated and Sacco
and vanzetti fed to the electric chair
as "the New England gang" de-
mands.
1t will, of course, take some, time
to write such a decision, justifying
this crime against the working class.
Delay by Judge Thayer in handing
down his decision BODIES no good for
Sacco and Vanzetti, nor for the
working class.
