Bobbing the hair was even made a
matter of general orders for the SOL

West Point, is oddly at variance with
present day West Point traditions

Showing Up the Excessive !,
Freight Rates Of Northwest
Editor of Long Prairie Leader Blames
j. Railroads for Present Unfair Con-. u
'i's'>'T' ditions In State
(Long Prairie Leader)

(Long Prairie Leader) "
The Leader has referred before to
the new freight rate which went into
effect this spring and has pointed
out how these rates, adopted with the
connivance of the railroad companies,
have struck hard blow at the pros
perity Of Minnesota and particularly
to the small towns of the state. Here
is another illustration Of what has
happened, the situation being brought
about, as we said, with the connivance
of the railroads. The Hansmsnn
Manufacturing Company Of this vii.
tlage, is moving. its shipping head,
quarters to Minneapolis and hereaf-
ter will receive nothing and ship moth
ing from Long Prairie. DISCRIMINATE
ing freight rates have forced the COM
pany to do this. Most Of it's product
comes from Racine, Wisconsin. The
Hansmann company can ship a car
load of its plows, for instance, from
Racine to Minneapolis for $106. Oh.
If the same carload continues on to
Long Prairie, distance of 125 miles
shorter distance, the additional freight
charge is $208. In other words, due
to the freight rate system we now
have in this state, a system which was
hoisted on the people with the conni-
vance. of the railroads, it cost $102
more to ship carload of plows, 125
miles less distance to q small town
than it does to ship the same car from
Wisconsin to large terminal city.
Under the present system, forced on
the state with the consent and actual
:connivance Of the railroads, shipper
ocan ship out Of large city cheaper
than he can ship out of small town.
The Hansmann company found that
under the new arrangement it not
only could get its goods proportion
ately much cheaper into Minneapolis
than into Long Prairie but in ship
ping them out by local freight in small
lots it could ship them at lower rate
from the big city than it could from
Long Prairie. That is, under the pres
ent system, the same article, shipped
the same distance in the same way
goes at lower rate when shipped
from the big city than it does when
shipped from the small town. This,
is q pure discrimination for which
there is no basis in reason or justices.
The new system has introduced the
most absurd Determinations, all in
troduced with the connivance Of the
railroads. As another instance, the
car rates on merchandise from Min
neapolis are less to Wadena than they
are to Long Prairie, Notwithstanding
the car has to pass through Long
Prairie in going on 90 miles further
to Wadena. Most every way you
turn you find absurd, unfair, and cost
ly determinations in our new rate
structure, system of rates that is
now in force in part through the
manipulations and connivance of the
railroad companies. Just keep all
this in mind when the railroads come
to you for support Of their effort to
prevent some truck line from operat-
ing.

THE THREE CENT GASOLINE TAX

There are petitions in circulation for the initial
i've measure to increase the gasoline tax from &c
gallon to &c gallon for the purpose of raising
money sufficient to meet federal aid money for
good roads.
A state can have no better advertisement than
good roads, The tourist business is growing each
year by leaps and bounds and people passing
through our state will either form good or bad
impression of the state for the kind of roads they
travel on With Montana's resources we have
room for hundreds of thousands of more people,
Aside from furnishing comfort, convenience and
the pleasure of our own citizens and inducing 9th
ers to come and live with US there is necessity for
good roads.
Every automobile owner in Montana should
sign this petition and vote for it at the general
election for several reasons First: it will save
gasoline and virtually will cost nothing to the
autoist. The tourists passing through our state
will pay their share for the building and the up
keep Of our roads which they will gladly do Every
person who does not own car should certainly
sign and vote for this gas tax as it will not cost
him a cent and will be an inducement for more
people to come to our state and establish homes
and industries, create better markets for our pro-
ducts. This is not property tax and falls only on
those who buy gasoline. Beside, all of our county
road money can be utilized in building lateral

YOUNG BEARCREEK
BOY MEETS TRAGIC
DEATH IN HELENA

S. W. Kelsey Of Bearcreek was in
formed last Thursday morning of the
death of his son, Monroe Kelsey, be-
meath the wheels of freight train in
the Northern Pacific freight yards in
Helena, his head being completely
severed from his body. At coroner's
inquest held shortly after, the jury
was unable to determine whether he
had met his death accidentally or
whether he had deliberately placed
himself on the tracks. The boys body
was found at the east end of the rail-
road yards by a brakeman at nine
thirty Wednesday night. A bundle of
work clothes was lying beside him. He
had inquired of a car repairer earlier
in the evening if the freight train
would stop at Townsend and on be-
ing informed that it would he crossed
the tracks where the accident oc-
Cured. He had asked a friend to ac-
company him to Missoula for the week
end, the same evening, it is said. He
is also said to have been studying in
the library of the college he was at
tending a little more than an hour
before he was killed.
Young Kelsey worked in the East
Helena smelter at night, attending In
termountain College during the day,
which institute he entered last. fall.
He majored in English and psychology
and was member of the English
club, the Panther Claws, campus
organization, and the Daedalian liter
airy society.
The young man was born in Miles
City, November "a, 1901, fromewhich
place the family moved to Red Lodge
and for several years have lived on
ranch near Bearcreek. The young
man was well known over the hill
and had many friends. He is sur
vived by his father and mother and
several sisters and brothers. The
father returned Sunday from Helena
where he attended the funeral. The
boy was placed in Forestvale GEM
etery. College associates mourned at
the bier at st. Paul's Methodist
church, where two weeks ago he was
taken into church membership during
Mothers day services. Monroe Kelsey
was popular among his college friends,
he was very much interested in liter
airy work and had written a number
Of poems and short stories which had

THE FIVE MILL SCHOOL LEVY

At the last session of the Montana legislature
a referendum measure was submitted for the pur-
pose of increasing the state school levy five mills
A comparison of the investment by the Montana
people in public school buildings during the last
ten years furnishes striking example Of the gen
crosby of our people in their efforts to provide
the very best educational advantages to their chill
dren. According to a recent compilation by the
Montana Taxpayers Association in 1915 there
was invested in school buildings, sites and equip
ment the sum of S9244559 In 1925 the people
had provided schools and equipment valued at
S27560811
This Montana for-pupil- investment in pub
lie schools is exceeded only by three states in the
Union namely, Nevada, New Jersey and New
York The interest Of Montana people in educa-
tiona facilities for their children is sharply illus
trated in comparison with the facilities in Mon
tana and other Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast
states. Montana has more schools than any other
Rocky Mountain or Pacific Coast state with the
exception of California. California has six times
Montanas population. Yet she has less than twice
as many schools. All this added expenditure has
been accomplished without this five mill levy that
is being advocated
This additional levy is direct tax upon prop
erty. What Montana needs more than anything
else is lower taxes in order to induce people to

Making Poppies a
Mental Diversion

To appreciate fully the great good
being accomplished through the Amer
lean Legion Auxiliary poppy program,
which eliminates the commercial pop
Ply and provides that all peoples sold
by the Auxiliary be made by the serv-
ice men or their families, one must go
into the hospitals and see the men
at work. In one hospital will be found
three men making one poppy-one a
blind man who could do only so much,
the second man with hand so crippled
he could carry the work just so far,
and he turns the poppy over to the
third man to finish. In another hos
pital the blind man fashions perfect
peoples. In still another will be found
men whose minds are shattered and
who have only one idea-that of TAX
ing their lives. These men have had
their minds distracted from this OBJ
session through the poppy program.
Groups of twenty-five to fifty men
gather daily in the Therapy Depart
ments to make peoples and thus they
pass the long hours of hospital life,
and the mental diversion proves a
great blessing as the financial return
for their work.
Through this program, the poppy
which has been so close to the men in
the hospitals, and has helped them to
forget, comes to us with its message
"Lest we forget. 49,.

While a committee composed of Messrs.

forssths season OF the ten schools

The reasonsffor this action by the as
sociation seems to be following the
prevailing tendency in all parts of the
country.
No other section of Arizona has girls
basketball and few years ago all
parts of the state had competition for
girls in this sport. The Southern Ari-
zona district is the last to drop he
sport. Most of the state have abolish
