There are 122 prospective broad

to apply for broadcast licenses, ac-
Cording to a recent survey made by
the Department of Commerce. Most
Of the newcomers are in the ninth,

indicate that 20 new stations are
under construction in that district and
Fl others are proposed.
In the Detroit district ] new sta
ton is being built and ~ others are
projected. In the New York and New
Orleans districts IA stations are
either proposed or under construc-
ton. All of which confirms rumors
that many more stations will be on
the air soon. Added to the present

NAA Reports Interference.

At least two broadcasting stations
which have changed their wave
lengths from their assigned chan
are now interfering with the weather
reports broadcast by NAA. Arlington,
Va, on 434.5 meters every morning.

The Navy Department points out
that the trouble is not so much that
listeners ashore are deprived of this
official Information, but that the inter
ference is far more serious at sea
where many small craft are not
equipped. except with ordinary broad
cast receivers. Not having regular
radio operators who read code, many
coastwise vessels, such as tugs, tow
ing barRes and pleasure craft, utilize
the radiophone broadcasts from NAA
for securing weather and time reports,
AS we'll as for picking up news and en-
tertainment
Cooperating with the Department
of Commerce, the Naval Communica-
ton Service is making an effort to
persuade the broadcasters operating
in the neighbOrhood of AS meters to
arrange their programs so that they
do not interfere with the weather re-
ports transmitted by Arlington at
1880 am, 3:15 and 1905 pm.

MEASURE NO. 20, 5 MILL SCHOOL LEVY

One of the weaknesses Of the initiative and referendum fea-
lures Of popular government, as it seems to US, is the poor pro
vision made TO acquant the voters with the true purpose and
method Of the measures put up for popular vote. Some referred
OF initiated bills get wide discussion in the press and on the ros-
trum and some ere only slightly mentioned. The average voter
finds himself in the booth with a sheaf of ballots before him and
no knowledge of SOME Of them to guide him to intelligent voting.
In the approaching election there will be no better example
Of this than referendum measure No. 20. 1t is greatly to be re-
GREETED that every person who votes on this measure could not
do so with the knowledge of the bill and the grasp of it's purpose
to be gained from an explanation of it such as ives given here
last Tuesday by the state superintendent of public instruction,
Mae Trumper. There is perhaps nothing in government prob
lens in new states like ours, more difficult to attain than ade-
quate school revenues, equtably produced. But those who listen
ed to Miss Trumper were convinced that to attain such ends ws
the sincere intention of the trainers of measure %, and that when
made a law it should accomplish those ends.
To be sure the legislature must be depended on to justly dis
tribute the funds the law would produce. The state constitution
requires this. The friends of the schools will undoubtedly keep
a guiding hand en- the distribution plans that are suggested, and
the law makers viii have no sufficient reason for not needing
them. Measure 20 is designed to aid weak schools, and to some
extent equslze for the children, educational opportunities over
the state.
DO not allow yourself to be governed by the fear shat in
voting for No. 20 you will increase your taxes. If you live in a
weak district of valuation too small to produce enough school
revenue, remember that under this law your district would ge'
the 5 mills back and more with it. If you are so fortunate as
to live in a rich district, with more than suffcient valuation tel
support first class schools, you should be glad of the opportunity
to aid the less fortunate. Even then you would get your money
back eventually through a better and more prosperous country
and state and a higher standard of citizenship. Suffice it to say.
That Roosevelt and McCone counties contain very few fortunate
ly rich districts.

MORE LIGHT ON ROAD MEASURE 81

Initiative Good Roads Bill No. 81 duplicates the road building
programs now in successful operation in all of the United States,
and such opposition as has appeared is based on un important de-
tails of the measure and on ungrounded suppositions, is the opinion
of Montana Automobile Association officials who are appealing to
the voters of the state to accept this tried and proved plan. 1t is
a case of Bill No. 81 and good roads, or no bill, no revenue, and
no roads, they add.
If this measure is carried, the gas tax, increased by one cent
at a cost of only $3.50 a year to the individual motor vehicle owner,
will create a revenue of 20 million dollars in ten years, to be
matched with 16 million of Federal aid, and the total SO million
will be spent by the state to build 300 miles of uncompeted road
and to maintain the entire 47O0-mie system which is connected
with every county seat. Montana will then have two distinct road
systems: the state system financed with gas tax money. IS per cent
of which is paid by town and city people, and the county or farm
system. which can then be extended and maintained with the regu-
lar road leves and motor license fees which are paid by the farmers
1t has been claimed in some communities that the county can
build the same kind of roads cheaper than the state can build them
All counties have the right to bid on any Federal aid contracts
within their territorial limits, and such biddi ng will be open UNDER
Bill No. 81 to counties as such, TO county commissioners, and TO all
contractors. Some counties have in the past built roads under
state contracts, and will have every opportunity to do so in the
future, for the work is required to be given to the lowest bidder.
If a county receives the contract, no bond is required, as it is from
the contractors.

GER who has lived in many CAPT

Indeed, this subject is so adj

the State Department has seen
fit to issue certain printed hints
to those who may be associated

age while she is in Washington.
For instance, never turn your

those things that just isn't done.
However it will not be required

self out of the room backwards,
as is the custom in Europe. If
it is not permitted to turn around
and walk out, and if the old Gus
tenn of bowling out also is taboo,
it seems to this writer that the
only possible alternative is to
edge out sidewise5 an undignified
procedure. You can safely wa
ger that at the moment you n
reading this there will be those
in Washington practicing, behind
closed doors, the proper manner
Of leaving the royal presence.
Queen Marie should be address

there is an extended converse

varied by saying MADAME" after
the French manner-"Ma-dame y

Ileana, is "Your Royal Highness,"

American dancing partner does
not call her "Lena" before she
leaves these shores, I will be both
surprised and disappointed.
THE Department seys that la
dies must keep their hats ON, and
the usual evening gowns.
Genlemen at evening functions
are to wear full dress, swallow
-ail coats, high silk hats and all.
At afternoon parties getaways,
nigh hats and grey striped trout
sers with spats will be the pro-
per attire.
