BUYS GRUB INSTEAD
BAUBLES OR BUBBLES

Indications are more and more
noticeable that Fort Peck Indians
are acquiring habits of frugality
and economy. superintendent P.
H. Moller misses no opportunities
to advise his charges to spend the
money paid to them out of their
fund on pay days to the best ad-
vantage with reference to their
health and comfort On these oc-
casions keen observers report that
Indian men and women make pur-
chases with better judgment than
formerly.
Superintendent p H. Moller, it
seems, has at times illustrated his
advice with the old parable of the
frugal ant and the thoughtless
grasshopper. Since the last pay
day the superintendent received
from an Indian sresiding at the
east end of the reservation; a let
ter in which with no small pride
the superintendent is apprised of
how the writer spent his money.
It is a very good letter, legibly
written, but characterized by a few
natural slips in English form.
The letter follows:
Supt. P. H. Moller,
Poplar, Montana
Dear Sir No doubt but you will
be surprised to get this letter.
you said for us to be like an ant
and not like the Grasshopper. and
you also said for us to get wagon
load of grub so | went to work and
bought sleigh load of Grub and
had broke down on the way
coming back from town. didn't
spend my money foolishly like
some did / spend it all for Grub
and my clothes is all ragged But
thought I'd be an ant and didn't /
get no clothes for my self Hoping
hat Ter glad to hear this. Wish
ng you
A Merry Christmas and
A Happy New Year

OLD AND new GAS LAWS VALID
UNDER SUPREME COURTRULINC
SUCH is AN OFFICIAL VIEW
ROAD PROGRAM PUT
IN FINE SHAPE

The ruling of the state supreme
court on December 22nd in which
the 1925 gasoline tax law was held
valid, is equivalent to a decision
that the new law, as adopted by
The people on November 2, also is
valid, in the opinion of A. H. Angst
man, assistant attorney general
who drafted the 1926 law and who
has been in charge for the state
in litigation instituted in an eff
fort to collect the tax from delin-
quent refners.
81 Valid BY Inference
Mr. Angstman pointed out that
while the opinion of the supreme
court in the Silver Bow Refining
company case has no direct refer
ence to the initiative measure No.
81, approved by the people at the
last general election. the new
measure is an exact duplicate of
the one held constitutional except
that it provides a different rate Of
taxation and different disposition
of funds derived from the tax.
Good Roads Victory
"The decision of the supreme
court sustaining the validity of the
1925 gasoline sales tax law is a sig
nal victory for the good roads pro-
gram in Montana" Mr. Angstman
said Wednesday. "The people who
pay the tax will have the satisfac-
tion of knowing that it will have
to be turned over to the state for
the use for which it was intended.
1t is the beginning of what prom
ises to be new era in road con
struction in Montana"
Will Swell Funds
Several hundred thousand dol
lars of tax collected under the
1925 law and held awaiting the
decision will go to the state gem
eral and highway funds and 10 the
counties of the state With the
1926 law established and bringing
in revenue the counties will be re-
lieved of the expense of maintain
ing the state and federal highways
within their borders and can turn
all their county road revenues to
lateral or farmer roads.
The increasing amounts received
from automobile licenses can also
be devoted TO county roads.
A Big Point
Friends of the new gas tax law
point to the great advantage in
having all the tax go into the state
road fund because every dollar
draws 70 cents more from the fed
eral road fund. This means that
millions would be lost to our
roads if the gas money was divid-
ed among the counties because the
federal bureau will not attempt to
deal with individual counties.
The better our roads the more
people will use them and the more
people will be attracted to our
state. Some of them will be sure
to stay If the law has weak spots
the new legislature will have full
opportunity to remedy them.
