TRUCK LINES PROOF
OF ROAD BENEFITS
State Highways Permit Competi.
ton, Keep Freight Rates Down,
Thereby Greatly Benefiting the
Farmer.

New evidence of he value of i'm
proved highways was furnished last
week when the Minnesota Railroad
commission licensed five truck freight
lines, covering a large district in
western Minnesota, as a means of OBJ
tanning relief from rate orders of the
Interstate Commerce commission
which the state commission considers
discriminatory. The new highway
freight lines willserve the district af-
fected by the higher freight rates
granted by the Interstate Commerce
commission in the so-called Fargo and
Watertown rate cases. The state COM
mission has fought these decisions OF
the federal bureau without success,
and failing to get lower rates on the
railroads it grants licenses to the
truck lines to reduce carrying char
ges in the district affected.
1.-The action of the state railroad
commission is one of great import
ance, especially to the farmers of the
state, for it shows that the highways
offer a competitive factor which will
keep freight rates down. said c. M.
Babcock, commissioner of highways.
with the roads of ten years ago,
this competition would be impossible
but with improved highways and mo-
tor trucks, the Interstate Commerce
commission can no longer successful
ly dictate Interstate freight rates in
Minnesota

HAVRE TAXPAYERS
PROTEST EXPERTS
LAND APPRAISALS

Havre, Dec. 8.-Legality of the re-
cent Havre property revaluation was
formally challenged before the board
of Hill county commissioners by a
committee of the Havre taxpayers
league, an organization recently form
ed.
The committee commended that the
county board has no authority to en-
ploy an outside party to revalue prop
erty for taxation purposes; that the
regular statutes provide for the coun-
ty assessor to make such valuation
and that the county board has no au
thority to expend money for such pur.
poses.
The revaluation, made by an ap
praisal specials, raised the value Of
Havre real estate and improvement
about % per cent on the average. A
contract between the city and Hill
county call for the city to pay 60%
and the county 1910 of the cost.
Members of the county board con
tended that they have not raised prop
erty values and that the revaluatiol
figures have not yet been official,
acted upon. Accuracy of the revalua
ton figures was also question. TIL
appraisal specialist declared that af
ter adjustments of complaints ar
made he will defend, if necessary, hi
work before the state tax commits

tended through the better part of two
administrations.
The measure, popularity known as
the Boulder Canyon dam bill was APP
proved by a vote of ga to IL. 1t must
now go to conference to compose diff
ferences between the bill passed by
the house last session and the one
acted upon today by the senate.
If favorable vote is taken by both
house and senate on the conference
report, the measure will be sent to
President Coolidge, who, sponsors OF
the bill, is in sympathy with its gen.
eral provisions.
The scope of the measure as it con-
Germs storage and use of waters for
reclamation and flood control works
is among the most stupendous ever
passed upon by congress. 1t proposes
construction at the Black canyon site
in the Colorado river of dam almost
twice as large as any in existence
This structure would provide water
for irrigation in the seven states OF
the Colorado river basin. A power
plant would be built at the dam to
generate thousands of horsepower OF
energy for electrical use in many To-
calities of the west.
In addition, the measure would pro.
vide for flood control works for the
protection of the Imperial valley II
southern California, and also for con
struction of an all-American cana
across southern California from the
Colorado river to bring irrigatine
waters into the valley.
Party lines were obliterated LII the
final vote on passage. Thirty-two de
mocrats, 81 republicans and the lone
farmer-labor senator, Snipstead o.
Minnesota, voted for the measure
while seven republicans and four de
mocrats, including Hayden and Ash
urst of Arizona, voted againt it.
The senate virtually took two votes

ators believed the vote on the substi
tuition of the senate bill for the hous'
bill was the final ballot. Some men
bers eft the floor but Senator Norris
epublican, Nebraska, who vote.
against substitution, demanded rol
call on final passage. The Nebras
kan's proposal precipitated a brie
parliamentary wrangle, but he wol
out and a second vote was taken OF
this ballot. The measure was approx

give the government the right t

built in connection with the dar
would be constructed either by tn

Before the measure could becom

RANCHER WARNS BOYS
AGAINST TULAREMIA
IN SKINNING RBBITS

Deer Lodge, Dec. 15.-That Mon
tana hunters, particularly boys, who
are accustomed to shooting rabbits,
should exercise the greatest caution
when slinning the animals to avoid
contracting the dread disease, tula-
remia, is a warning made by one of
Powell county's principal stockmen.
He declares there is no doubt that a
large number of the rabbits in this
state are afflicted with the malady
and that it is transmitted to human
being during the process of sl1inning,
the infection entering the system thru
any abrasion of the cuticle of ones
hands.
Apparently the disease has no eff
feet on the quality of the rabbit as
food as the cooking process kills the
germs. Several cases of tularmeia
have appeared in the Treasure state,
one proving fatal few weeks ago To
a young man of the vicinity of CARR
son. Another case was reported neal
Galen.

THE COUNTY PUBLIC
HE ALTH NURSE

The purpose of this article is to sell
you something-the idea, that Coun-
ty Public Health Nurse is very essen
tial.
1t is as important that we should
know how to live that we may be well
and strong as it is that we should
know how to read and write.
A County Health Nurse is a logical
sequence of free public school educa-
ton. We compel our children to go
to school, should we not therefore
make provision for their protection
while they are there?
cured the services of a nurse through
the sale of Anti-tuberculosis Christ
mas Seals. But this cannot always
be done satisfactorily, and the nurses
time is so limited that she cannot
spend much time in one community.
l therefore think that a County
Nurse should be financed by taxes
: Is it not the duty of a county to pro-
tect its citizens? A nurse is as neces-
sary in protecting health as a police
man or fireman in protecting proper
ty.
A community, in one year, spent
$3.50 per capita for police protection
$1.75 for fire prevention and only Ia
cents for disease prevention. Does ii
not seem that people are more afraid
of burglars than tuberculosis or losing
their home by fire than losing a chile
by diptheria?
1t is estimated that the cost Of
maintaining a child in school for {
year is $4,000. In community Of
1900 school children, one out of ter
will fail to make the grade. Thi;
means that they must repeat the grade
at an extra cost of $15,000.00 The
number of repeaters can be reduced
one-half by: % Control of communi
cable disease, (2) Forming correc-
health habits in children. This reduc
ton would more than pay the salary
and expenses of a county nurse, which
is only about $4,000 per year.
The nurse examines the sanitary
conditions, heating, ventilation, over
crowding, etc., in the school and spo
cases of under-nourishment, wrong
posture, diseased tonsils, bad-teetl
and poor eye-sight. She calls on tn,
parents and explains the condition O.
their children. If these defects ar,
not corrected in the child, in later lif,
they cannot be corrected and will re
suit in deafness, rheumatism, tuber
culosis, etc.
i All we can ask is that you will hell
support the campaign for a nurse
Such movements are successful onl.
so far as the people are whole-heart
edly behind them and each of you cal
do at least that much.

ton of this committee adopted was
the amendment of the present school
equalization fund law so as to insure
each and every county their equitable
share of the money in that fund. The
present law was condemned as being
unfair and discriminatory.
A further law the delegates wished
amended was the system under which
banks are now taxed in Montana, and
they demanded the repeal of the pres
ent classified property tax law. An
enthusiastic and unqualified support
of the public schools was adopted and
to that end the people who provide
the children and pay the taxes should
dominate the schools.
Seek Storage Plan.
The committee on markets and
marketing recommended the adoption
of farm storage facilities, a develop
ment of surety policy covering pro-
ducers integrity, and that these ia
cilities be centralized in sales agen-
cies of the organization. A second
resolution that one man be selected to
represent Montana on the National
Farmers union grain marketing COM
mittee, was also agreed to. Other
resolutions recommended and adopted
by the convention were acquisition OF
storage space, establishment of strict
| ly cooperative farmers elevators as
part of the grain marketing program
and that a sales agency be perfected

mission company of South st. Paul

local farmers union livestock shipping
associations be established. Consoli
dation of all poultry pools so that the
marketing of the products of tn,
