Because Of the widening of the

the present station. To make the

nd with a higher moral, Mr.. Puck,
the consent Of the commission,
make the State Road police sta
much more comfortable for the

IMPORTED GASOLINE
PAYSSTATE $6Sl,O4O

Under a law sponsored by the Mon
tana Automobile association and en-
acted this year year whereby gasoline
imported into Montana and not sold
by service stations or otherwise is
taxed the same as other gasoline, has
brought S681 ,040 in revenue up to
Sept 80, according to figures just OBJ
tanned by Al Breitenstein, secretary
for the association.
The law became operative on March
/, and from that time 2,796 cars es-
timated to, contain 19,368,0 900 gallons
of gasoline, were imported Formerly
much of this imported gasoline es-
capped the tax, as there was no way
of reaching the product which was
imported for the use of the importer.
AS a result of the law procured by
the Montana Automobile association
a considerable addition is being made
to the state highway building fund.
The, extent to which gasoline is con-
sumed in the state is shown by the
report that the total tax collected up
to Oct. 30 was $1,202,347 on 40,687,-
793 gallons. This includes imports as
we'll as Montana made gasoline.
Of the gasoline imported this year
from March l to Sept. 80, the Great
Northern handled the most, 1,00g
cars; Northern Pacific 913; Milwau
kee 1856; Burlington 307; Oregon Short
Line 70; 500 58 and Butte, Anaconda
& Pacific 55.
Two other laws fostered by the as
sociation were enacted this year, on,
providing for the refund on gasolin,
used for agricultural purposes and tn,
other districting the state for high
way construction.

Rank and File Delegation Or
ganizes for Work in Russia

Plymouth, England-F P-T hre e
and twenty American rank and file
trade uniOnists, on their way to OBJ
serve Soviet Russia'S celebration of
the 10th anniversary of her revolu-
ton, have been discovering America
enroute.
Sixteen session held aboard the
SIS Lancashire gave opportunity for
the discussion Of leading American
trade problems, from the B. & o. plan
to organization of the unorganized.
AS a result, the American workers are
entering the Soviet Union with bet
ter conception of their own labor
movement and the program needed to
extend it to include all workers.
At one session, Lucy Branham, sec
retary of the American Society for
Cultural Relations with Russia, who
IS accompanying the excursion, spoke
IN the dining room to an audience
composed of ships officers, first cabin
passengers and British workers from
the steerage. Russia's cultural ao-
vance was her theme.
The excursion, which is to spend
weeks studying various phases of
trade uniOnism in Russia, has divided
into 8 groups; mining, manufacturing.
building trades, transportation and
government. After the first week of
the 10th anniversary celebration, each
group will visit different Russian
cities, investigating conditions in their
special industries.
Firmly rooted to the fundamental
principle that the American labor
movement must place itself in condi-
tion to appeal to the millions of work
ers outside the trade unions, members
of the delegation have presented near
ly every point of view in American
labor circles. Even the B. & o. plan
found a defender for half an hour.
The national committee of the ex-
cursion was reorganized with William
Watkins, president of Switchmen's 10
col 206 of st. Paul as chairman. 9th
er members are Robert King, New
Haven, Conn, machinists union; Ed
ward A. Stock, San Jose, California,
electrical workers union; Ernest Lun-
den, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Farmer
Labor Association-formar congress
man; and Harvey O'Connor, research
director.

stock, dairying and allied industries
as well as of the growth of factories
and business concerns.

veto power, the Alaska Fish Commits sion becomes a memory as the result of the passage by the House of the bill which repeals all statutory authority for the maintenance and operation of fish hatcheries, with no provision made for caring for the hatcheries at Cor
 dova and Ketchikan and nothing done
 to insure that eggs and fry now in the Ketchikan plant estimated at 20,000- 900 will be planted or released in
 streams.
 Grier's bill for a Pioneers Home at Anchorage was defeated in the House by vote of to 9.
 Ross introduced a joint resolution in the House which has for it's object the creation of a modern institution
 for the Pioneers Home at Sitka when the. present buildings become unin- habitable. The bill authorizes the 1 |
 900 annually for investment in U. S. ! bonds, reinvesting the interest annu-
 ally, the principal and interest to
 comprise building fund. The home is adeuuate for several years and Ross believes that a S15,000 annual deposit
 in a sinking fund will cover the cost
 of a new home by the time it is needed.
 A measure introduced in the House
 creating a public library fund author
 izes the organization of library asso-
 citations which may receive not over
 $500 annually from such fund. Reconstruction by the Territory of
 the old Signal Corps telegraph line,
 abandoned years ago between Tanana and Unalakleet is proposed in bill 1 introduced in the Senate by Jensen and Dunn. The bill makes provision
 for fund of $5, ,OO0 to rehabilitate the system.
 With two members not concurring, the House judiciary committee re- commended the passage of Murray's
 measure requiring evidence of sale be- fore search warrants may be issued for searching a private residence or
 dwelling. The provisions of this bill, it is understood, are virtually identical
 with the requirements specified in a recent ruling of the Circuit Court of Appeals in a Fairbanks case. Paul introduced measure calling
 for the discharge of indigent convicts incarcerated for failure to pay fines. A bill authorizing the erection of a monument to mark the spot where the transfer of Alaska was consummated
