kind. 1t is 'pay-as-you-go" plan. There would
be no expenditures for interest nor would there
be any necessity of creating sinking fund to care
for bonded indebtedness
Opponents of the measure have contended that
some counties would suffer loss through the
adoption of Initiative Measure No. 81. That how
ever, appears to be a misrepresentation. Esti-
mates based upon expected consumption of gaso-
line during the 1927-19S7 period show that under
the present law each county would receive, in the
IL years, approximately $4,000. This sum, of
course, would be forfeited, but against it must be
placed $641,00O, the average sum the measure
would make available for expenditure in each
county of the state. Not only would the counties
receive, on an average, four dollars for one, but
they would be relieved perpetually of the main
tenance of each and every mile of federal aid high
way that has been constructed or is constructed
in the future. The lifting of this burden would
enable them to spend more on the building and
maintenance of feeder and lateral roads, thus di-
rectly benefiting the farmer by making it easier
for him to haul his products to market
Every dollar raised through the operation Of
Initiative Measure No. 81 would actually be spent
on Montana roads-92 cents of it going directly
into material and labor and only eight cents for
engineering, supervision, and general overhead.
Every other state without exception, has met this
situation. viii Montana meet it?

A DISAPPOINTMENT.
From the Lewistown Argus

Newspapers have been carrying under leading
headlines story that the present state admin
istration has reduced the state Indebtedness.
That is correct, but the inference is very mis-
leading. The presumption is that the expenses of
the state government have been reduced That is
not correct
The report of the state auditor recently released
is quite explicit this point. The report shows
decided increase in the states income This in
crease is due to the inheritance and metal mines
tax laws. The expenditures for state govern
mental purposes are still climbing, and that in the
face of the elaborate and specific promises held
out by Governor ]. E. Erickson during the cam
paign.
Referring again to the auditors annual report,
one may find an increase of $115, 900 in expendi-
lures over the last year of the preceding admin
istration, In other words, defying every pledge
IN this regard, the present state executive has
permitted our state expenses to climb still higher
It is to be regretted that the larger income was
not used to reduce materially the bonded ard
floating obligations cf our state government.
Many people viii be greatly disappointed at
this state of affairs. Whatever may be said in
favor of Governor Ericksons administration. il
must be admitted that in this regard the ont
standing issus of the campaign in which he was
elected, he has failed totally, both in observing
campaign pledge and in meeting the ardent
hopes Of his supporters.

THE BEST SELLER


From the Dayton (OhiO) News
The Bible, in the English language, still con-
tinues to be the most widely sold and, it is to be
presumed, the most widely read book
Reports of the American Bible society year
after year have shown that as many Bibles are
sold annually as all other books combined, and
perhaps more than that; and in time when
records being broken in other lines Bible sales
do likewise
Latest figures available in connection with
Bible sales are reported from the 122nd meeting
of the British and Foreign Bible society," held re-
Gently in London. They show that in 1925 more
English Bibles were sold than in any previous
12-month period, and that the society's output
for the year reached the remarkable total of ten
and One-haf billion.
Increases were shown in China, Japan, and
throughout the Far East. Russia alone declines
to admit the Bible as an influence for good.

bloc was more important than the
congressional needs and desires of
their own states, all this might be
so. Experience has shown in the
past congresses, however, that the
bark of the insurgent is great deal
louder before he takes his seat than
after he sits in, and whether we like
or dislike certain of their political
thoughts these men after all are
American citizens and there need be
no fear of their rocking the boat in
such a way that Democratic rescue

SOME VALUABLE INFORMATION

Answers to some pertinent questions which
naturally arise when Initiative Measure No. 81,
the "good roads, measure, comes up for discus
sion are contained in folder recently issued by
the Montana Automobile association.
The first and most important query concerns
the objects to be attained by passage of the meas
ure. These are the completion and maintenance
of Montana's 4,7OO-mile federal aid highway sys-
tenr which will connect the county seats of her Sc
counties by network of graveled roads.
The measure changes the present law by in
creasing the tax on gasoline from two cents to
three cents a gallon. It provides that the entire
revenue received shall go to the state highway
commission for use in matching federal aid to
construct and maintain such state highways as
are designated. 1t limits engineering and admins
trative costs to per cent and provides that con-
struction shall be carried forward in the various
sections of the system in proportion to the un-
finished mileage in each.
1t may be said here that under the present gaso-
line tax law the revenue derived is divided as fol-
lows: Fifteen per cent to the state highway COM
mission, 80 per cent to the state general fund.- and
55 per cent, in equal amounts, to the various coun-
ties. The initiative measure contempates no
change in the present law relating to the distribu-
tlOn of motor license money, and would not de-
prive school funds of any revenue.
1t is expected that the measure would, during
the 11-year period 1927-1937, raise $2O,8OO ,OOO
making available $16,OOO,OOO of federal aid The
total would be spent in the completion of 3,10O
unfinished miles of the federal aid system and in
maintaining each mile constructed. At the end
of 1897 the entire system of 4,700 miles would be
completed, and thereafter be maintained by the
state with funds derived from the gasoline tax
This would relieve the counties of the burden they
now have on federal-aid mileage maintenance.
Under this plan, the revenue raised would bC
paid solely by the automobile owner in proportion
to the actual use he made of roads in Montana
His tax payment would represent an Investment
rather than an expense when the entire tax wa.
used in road construction The cost to him woulC
be about $3.50 year.
1t is obvious that Montana cannot match fed
eral aid and complete her highway system with
out this measure. First, there are no funds avail
able, and secondly the two-cent tax, even if givel
entirely to the highway commission, would no
yield sufficient money to match federal aid. Th
initiative measure would not only save all th
federal aid to which Montana is entitled an,
which, if forfeited, would be allotted to othe
states, but at the same time permit the countie
to retain all Of the motor license tax money /
is significant that as yet no state has forfeited it
federal aid.
The program cOntemplates no bond issue of an.
