ALL CARS MUST
BE ASSESSED AS
WELL AS LICENSED

much neglect is being shown as
to the turning in of the ownership of
cars by people when making assess
ment returns" says County Assessor
W. H. Gebo. at may be that they
are ignorant of the consequences, but
when they are known, there is no ex-
cuse. The tax on the average car is
only a. few cents, but it seems that
people neglect the can when filling out
their statement.
"No matter how old the car is, If
it is still being used in any manner,
il must be listed. Many of these old
cars only are taxed "a few cents,
often less than a dollar, but they will
be unable to get license during
1929 if they fail to include it this
year.
Stating it plainly" he said, ''if the
car is not listed this year for 1928
tax, next year when the owner sends
into Deer Lodge, the license will be
refused. When the matter is finally
Jul, OllC OWllCl VIII pay
for the back tax in 1928, but added
to this tax will be penalty and inter
est charges. 1t will be expensive"
Advice is to go and see Mr.. Gebo
at once if you have neglected this
matter He will be glad to help you
out. In addition, we will add that if
you have not sent in for your 1928
state license by this time you had
better get busy as after the first of
May you will have to pay penalty
of 10 per cent to the state of Mon
tana before you can get your license.
And, furthermore, we are advised by
Sheriff Albert that after the last day
Of this month there is no chance Of
anyone driving car in Carbon county
if there are no 1928 plates on same.
Leniency has been shown by Sheriff
Albert in this matter, but he can't be
lax any longer.

Of the splendid cooperation that had
featured the deliberations of the board
throughout the year Mr.. Gerondale
expressed the hope and belief that
his administration would enjoy the
same thoughtful support and harmony
that characterized his predecessors,
looking toward the maintenance Of an
efficient and modern school system,
For the first time in the history
Of the local system the present board
has been faced with the necessity Of
making adjustments in the school or
ganization in order to meet the state
requirements leading to full accredit
ing Of the local school system. Last
spring a drastic but necessary step
was the dismissal Of three teachers
who did not have the requisite pro
fessional training. This action was
based on the belief that Red Lodge
is entitled to and should maintain tie
same standard of schools as are main
tanned by other first and second class
districts in the state; and upon the
principle that community interests
are paramount to individual inter
ests.
The present board consists of j.
j. Gerondale, H. A. Simmons, Harry
Bailey, Kate C. Brophy and Bernh.
Rydberg.
Pursuant to the annual election of
teachers the present salary schedule
was adopted for the ensuing year.
With one exception the present teach
ing staff was reelected and will b.
offered contracts returnable May 7.
One of the three teachers dismissed
last year qualified during the sum
mer with the necessary amount of
professional training and was rein
stated at the opening Of school in
September. Last December a music

MOTT SOUDERS JR.,
WRITES OF AIRPLANE
TRIP HE MADE

A very interesting letter was re
ceived recently by DR.. and Mrs s. M.
Souders from their son, Mott Jr, who
is attending Ann Arbor university.
The letter tells in detail Of ZIP he
took by air from Detroit to Cleveland
"This morning | took the airplane
from Detroit to Cleveland. We left
Detroit at 9:15 a. M, and arrived in
Cleveland at 1890 a. M; 1870 miles in
Is minutes. 1t was wonderful trip.
When | got up the sky was cloudleas
and / thought that we would have a
perfect day and fine visibility for the
trip, but by the time we reached the
Ford airport to board the plane a
small blizzard had come up and so
we couldn't see much Of Detroit from
the air.
Cover Lake Erie the clouds had
broken up somewhat and we had
little sunshine, so that | could see
the shipping on the lake 1000 feet
below. The rest of the way to Cleve-
land we had alternate sunshine and
snow sometimes we could see quite
distance and get a fine view of the
country, and at othe. times we
couldn't see the ground at all.
Owe finally landed at the Cleveland
airport in snow furry, Was met
by car and we drove to the hotel
There were five passengers on the
plane, a pilot and an assistant. The
planes are heated and enclosed so that
there is relatively little noise. Up in
the air one seems hardly to be NOV
ing at all, but distance is demolished
nevertheless"
The plane in which Mr.. Souders
made the journey is one of the Ford
Stout all-metal monoplanes of the
three engine type and regular sched-
uled trips are made each day. They
are equipped with comfortable chairs
and berths; toilet and wash room;
clear glass windows that can be
opened or closed; electric lights,
heaters, baggage compartment, etc.
The passengers are transported from
and to designated hotels by car to
and from the flying fields. Two round
trips are made between the points
each day.
Mr.. Souders is doing research work
at Ann Arbor and in two years will
receive his P. II. d. degree. He
earned his B. A. degree at Bozeman
and later received his NJ S. degree at
Ann Arbor He is assistant to DR..
Leslie of Ann Arbor at the present
time and is also doing research work
for the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey and for the National Petro-
leum company. While it is not known,
it is presumed that the airplane trip
he made was for the purpose of study
ing the airplane engine.
In letter received this week Mott |
states that he has been elected to an
associate membership in the Sigma
Al, national scientific society. He |
adds that when he has contributed (
to science he will then be
eligible to a full membership. In
other words he will have to discover
new in science in order to
be full fledged member of this very
exclusive fraternity. He received this
honor through being a student of the
P. H. ID. rating
