BUSY AIRWAYS


for 1927 are actually made, there will be more
tries represented in long flights this year than
before" says official of the Aeronautical Cham
ber of Commerce of America.
First there are the flights already completed or
now under way, which include the American Good
Will flight to South America, the De Pnedo four-con
tinent flight, the round trip from France Madagas
completed by French flier in February and
round the world flight begun by Portuguese flier.
Five transatlantic flights proposed. One is the
Orteig prize flight from Paris to New York. which is
interesting such avators as Commander Richard Byrd
and Captain Rene Fonck. Another, from Germany to
the United States, is being promoted in the inter-
est of passenger and mail service between those
countries. Two others scheduled to start from
Spain and from Rome.
Capt. George H. Wilkins is attempting North Pole
flight, and Commander Byrd is planning to fly
the South Pole
Francisco San Diego and Vancouver British and
Spanish air officers to fly India The hold
of the present French altitude record is going to try
his luck at flying Mount Everest, taking pictures
which he hopes may be of service to future foot expe
ditions to the summit of that mighty peak French
fliers are planning to circle the Atlantic and Aus
tralian fliers have Samoa as goal.
There other plans not yet revealed to the pub
lie.
Much will be learned from all these endeavors. 1t
is to be hoped that accidents, and particularly fata
ties to fliers, may be avoided Flying is great game
and important 1t is we'll that interest in it

able decision secured the state on appeal
to the supreme court, resulting in final
settlement Of the states claim.
The difference between a definite and
an indefinite article has added $40. 900
TO Montana state highway funds. Mon
tana dealers had about 1000, 900 gallons
OF gasoline on hand or in transit on Jan.
l. when h sales tax raised from 2 to 8
cents a gallon. Two cents had been paid
The dealers said that was enough. The
state board OF equalization, charged with
administration of the law. demanded an
other cent. The attorney general says
the new law exempts dealers from pay
ment OF tax on gasoline purchased from
producers or distributors "who had paid
the tax thereon" Then he points III
that reference is made to 1.-THE" tax n
not to "a" tax and. since 8 cents is the
only tax mentioned. In his opinion, the
law makes every gallon of gasoline sold
in Montana since Jan. l subject to a tax
of 8 cents a gallon.
