The people of Montana will pay this
fiscal year only about $4,000 on
about 10000 new cars and trucks pur-
chased at an average price of $500
each, while the federal aid allotments
that will be matched and spent on the
state highways if Bill No. 81 is
passed, will be $1,551 $3.50 for this
year only: gain of six to one for
this state. Part of the excise taxes
now paid by eastern states which buy
great numbers of motor vehicles, goes
to western states that purchase fewer
automobiles, and Montana happens to
be one of the largest participants in
this westward flow of excess funds.
No state or commonwealth has yet
been able to carry out an extensive
public road program without govern
ment assistance, and it has been
clearly demonstrated that Montana
cannot 90 1t. Every state IN the Union
has matched and received Federal aid.
1t has enabled them to carry their
highway programs we'll along toward
completion. Forty three of them have
done it by means of the gasoline tax.
The fact that the gas tax system is
the fairest most compensatory, and
equitable means of financing public
road-ways has been attested by twen-
ty-nine states since January l, 1925,
which have either increased their gas
tax rates or initiated gas tax laws.
Texas raised the gas tax from one
to three cents last month, and North
Dakota raised it one cent on June 80.

An Animal Often Misiudged.

The President of the United States,
proud possesSOr of raccoon from
Mississippi, is said to be hesitant about
having his gift cooked and eaten at
the White House table and to con-
template presenting it to the local Zoo.
The reason is given that the Chief
Executive is no eXperimenter with un
known dishes and has never partaken
of raccoon.
Mr.. Coolidge need not he hesitant.
according to the testimony Of those
who in gustatorial pleasure have
munched toothsome mouthfuls Of this
small nocturnal animal. 1t is strange
that during his New England boyhOod
he never tasted it, for among the
granite hills it is of a surprising
delicacy, especially when young and
tender. A full-grown coon" is a bit
more f1avorful, needs a bit more mas
tication, but at that is worthy of any
ones palate. Doubtless the specimens
from the sunny South are as good.
With far less greasy fat than is of
fered by the OpOssum, with which it
is so often mingled in conversation,
but to which it is not the slightest re
lation, youthful raccoon meat is 8
sort of cross between chicken and
sucking pig. The personal and dietary
habits of the animal are exemplary.
It's official title, "Procyon lotor," i'm
II; h. Lot fi,,tr
washer" The Germans call it
"Waschbar," "Waschhaer.' or the
bear which washes its food. In science
it is. indeed, a member of that planti-
grade family which includes the bears,
but although structurally carnivorous
it feeds largely upon and, indeed,
seems to prefer vegetable food. Its
dietary includes all fresh vegetables,
as any farmer will willingly testify,
with special fondness for young corn;
fruits of all sorts, nuts and occasion
ally fish, including oysters. and tender
chickens.
But before any object of food
enters its mouth it is washed, and
washed, and washed again. Can any
barnyard animal produce a like rec
ord? Yet there are plenty Of people
who will eagerly eat cells and catfish,
but who turn up their noses at the
flesh of this furry fellow. Without
wishing to suggest too freely to the
presidential menage it is hereby rec
commended that the recent Thanks
giving Day gift be killed, dressed and
properly roasted. If it gets by the
first table there are plenty of people
below-stairs who know a good thing
when they see it.
