to have their innings before the
senate investigation committee.
Administrative discipline does
not dare to try to keep an army

is charged that the budget max
ers have succeeded in distating
the amount OF money to De spent
on national defense. rather than
congress, and congress is in arms
about 1t.
Perhaps congress hasn't q
clear conscience when it realizes
how the army has been squeezed
and pared. Anyway it Is barely
possible that the country is going
to learn just what has happened.
At this stage of developments
an article on the effects of army
dapletion by Maj. Gen. John L.
Hines, who recently retired as
chief of staff, is OF interest.
Gen. Hines says:
THE original army has under
gone reductions until 1T has now
barely 46 per cent of the strength
originally contemplated by the
national defense act of 1920. Na.
tional guard development has
been retarded. Reserve ofncers
do not receive sufficient practical
experience. Stocks OF reserve
material and equipment have
been seriously depleted. Army
installations, both temporary
and permanent. have deteriorat'
ed at an undue rate.
AS q further consequence OF
reductions, both the regular
army and the national guard are
so skeletonized as to lack that
readiness for immediate mobil
ization' prescribed by the defense
act. 49,. ..,
Upon the enlisted strength
of the regular army has fallen
the brunt of a great part OF the
restriction of funds. There have
been organized new and essential
branches OF the service; there
have been incorporated IN the
older branches many new weap-
ons and technical appliances;
and the drain on the regular
army ia connection with many
and varied instruction projects
has been very pronounced.
Nevertheless, within the con-
tinental limits of the United
States there are only Is, OO2 more
enlisted men than was the case
at the close of the fiscal year
1916. These reductions have bad
q serious effect upon the read
mess of units to take the field,
as they have required abnormal
demands on the individuals OF
the permanent military establish
ment.
'These conditions are not of
moment to the regular army
alone. They vitality effected it's
obligation to all other elements
Of the army of the United States.
In final analysis it should be
remembered that under the ma
tioual defense act we started
with 28O, 900 enlisted smen in the
regular army. o. that basis the
army's organization and plans
provided for six field armies in

EQUALIZATION

The first two pages of the mega

.marly to confusing the issue rath-
er than to stating facts. The Mon

represented in reference to the
companion measure which provides
for a lowering of district levies;
the Attorney General is misrepre-
sented by a quotation from part

|scme taxes.
The Expense Bogey
The speaker then discussed
separately some of the criticisms
made by the opponents of the
commission. Speaking of the
charge that the expenses of the
commission were excessive, he
said that his personal expense
bill for one month had never ex-
ceeded $50 and had been as low
as 500. This, he held to be not
excessive for leaving his business
and travelling to Helena at least
once each month to attend meet
and for making numerous
side trips. His own monthly ex-
pense bills, he said, were larger
than those of the other two mem
bers, Mr.. Warden and Mr.. Mul-
vaney because he lived farther
FROM the capital and did more
travelling on highway business.
In conclusion Mr.. Good said he
was giving his hearers merely an
outline eff his arguments, which

OUTSIDE MONTANA
A SQUARE LOOK AT THE SITUATION

The present law provides for a gas tax of two
cents per gallon with distillate and kerosene lnclud-
ed. Of the revenue derived only Is per cent goes
to the state road fund, 80 per cent to the state gen
eral fund and IS per cent is split up among the
counties. Why should consumer of gasoline pay an
extra share into the states general fund. Gasoline
revenue should go to the roads. Fifteen per cent of
a two cent tax is too small q sum to materially AID
the state highway fund. Out Of the So per cent the
counties received last year only $5,0S4. This amount
represents the awful loss some are complaining
about. But note the saving, also.
Measure No. 81 proposes to increase the tax to
3 cents per gallon and place the revenue all in the
highway fund where it will amount to enough to
bring the state the federal aid we are now throw
ing away-donating it to other states. This is our
own money and we sloughed off S641 900 OF 1t last
year through failure to meet the governments easy
terms. During the ten-year period contemplated
the states money and the federal aid would build
the system of federal roads now mapped out, and,
with the increased gas consumption that IS virtually
certain, would build still more. This system, built
through state-federal cooperation, the government
would perpetually maintaln-relievin counties OF
eaVy, constant expense.
All automobile license money goes to the cou1l-
ty from which it came. In the present year this
amounts in Roosevelt county to Sl0,952 to Septem-
Der LIST. The county road levy for this year yields
1924, 929. These two amounts total S43, 881. If
Measure No. 81 was a law none of this amount would
be used on the main or federal highways.
There are 1000 cars and trucks in this county
and according to past consumption records they use
700, 900 gallons of gasoline. Distillate and kero-
sene would be tax free under the proposed law. The
3 cent tax would yield then, in Roosevelt county,
about S21 900. A sum not much different than that
derived from license fees, and which goes to the
county. A very fair division of the highway money
paid in by the owners of cars and trucks. The $2l,-
600 would draw nearly $4,000 more from the gov
eminent, making $4,000 a year to build and main
tain the main trunk highways. At the same time
there would be the S43, 800 to use on county or farm
er roads. Roosevelt is just about an average coun-
ty in number of cars and taxable property.
At the end Of the ten years both the Federal
and the county road systems should be completed
and pretty nearly everybody would be on or near a
first class road.
It would all be done on a pay as we go plan,
with no bonds floated, no interest incurred. And
we honestly believe that the real roads and high
ways thus built by those who use them would, in the
five years following the 10-year construction period,
if not much sooner, repay every cent they cost. This
through decreased cost of travel and transportation,
increased efficiency in various industries, and the
greater development of our state.

SOME GOOD REASONS WHY FARMERS
SHOULD VOTE FOR NO. 81

Roosevelt county received $18,952.02 in license
fees from 1947 machines during 1926 up to August
81 which, with the county's road levies, can be spent
by the county commissioners on farmers roads if
Initiative Good Roads Bill No. 81 is carried on No
vember 2, according to latest statistics.
This years county road levy will yield S24,-
929.17, assuming that all taxes will be paid. This,
with the license fees, totals 4 3,881.19, which ap-
proximates the sum that would annually be available
for lateral roads through farm communities. The
county would also be relieved Of the heavy expense
Of maintaining the Federal roads in the county.
Roosevelt county has III miles Of Federal high
way; so miles are constructed and 81 miles are yet
to be built, the value Of the work being $500, 900 I'M
der this measure, covering a ten-year period. The.
value of maintenance alone will be more than the
,ounty's share in the present gas tax revenue. Fur
harnore, while the state is building the county's
federal roads, the farmer system can be built with

income COUNTY PEOPLE

McCone county people will not be slow to re-
alize what a north and south highway of standard
construction, through their country, and a free traf-
fc bridge across the Missouri would be worth to
them. Especially if the federal government paid
the major part Of the bill and maintained the high
way. Without the passage of Measure 81 both of
these valuable improvements will be out Of reach.
County candidates who are not FOR "31" are not
FOR the highway and the bridge and not for the
of the farmers and the county. That
would be the logical conclusion of voters, would it
not?

SCOTT LEAVITT STRONG WITH PEOPLE

Congressman Leavitt impressed those who
heard him speak here last Saturday as a man with a
clear vision of his duties to his constituents and
closely in touch with public affairs, as we'll as sin
cere in his adherence to Republican policies. He
is u~nruffled by the criticisms of his opponents and
replied to them in convincing style. While Harry
Mitchell is an able and popular man, with a host of
friends it is highly improbable that the voters will
see cause for changing congressman at this time.
Mr.. Leavitt's reelection by a decisive majority is
among the surest results of the coming election.
