MELTING FEDERAL FUNDS

(From the Cut Bank Pioneer Press)
In a address before the meeting of the state Kiwanis clubs,
o. S. Warden, chairman of the state highway commission, went into
the problem of matching federal aid allotted to the state of Montana.
The gross receipts from the scent gas tax, he said, amounted
to around s4,2OOOOO. But % percent Of this goes out in refunds to
tractor users; the maintenance cost is around S1,000000 and the
engineering costs around $450OO0. So the net is only about s1,500000
to match the government allotment of s2500O00. Where can the
state get the additional million to match it?' he asks.
The answer is not easy. A bond issue, to be taken up by gas
tax receipts, appears to be the most businessike, but it would be
at least two years before funds from this source could be made
available. A suggestion that the counties turn over half of the license
plate money for the next two years would probably not make much
of a hit; the counties have the burden of building and maintaining
lateral roads and many consider this as important s the building
of trunk roads.
A gasoline anticipation warrant system has also been suggested.
We are not familiar enough with the plan TO make intelligent com
ment, but it sounds feasible. Some plan Of this sort to provide
money to meet the federal fund until a bond issue is approved. seems
the logical thing to do.

OUR STATE INSTITUTIONS

A special mill levy is the means used by most Of the II western
and northwestern states for supporting higher educational insttu
lions. according to studies by the Citizens Committee of 10 appointed
last winter at a general meeting of representative Montanans 10 place
before the voters of the state the facts regarding Referenda 80 and 81
which will be voted at the general election, Novmber 4
Thus Referendum "a which will renew support for state educa
tonal institutions, is a continuation OF the old method in use n Mon
tana and is similar to the method used in eight Of the twelve western
states. Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washing
ton and Wyoming have such special levies, while Idaho, New Mexico,
North and South Dakota support their institutions with appropriations
from state general funds, the committee points tut.
Many Montanans believe that a new and better system OF sup
porting educational institutions in Montana should be developed, but
until a more satisfactory method is incorporated into the tax system
of the state most people agree that the present method should be con
tinued, the committee states. It is for this reason that Referendum
"a meets with such wide support throughout the state. says the SOM
mttee.

WALSH GOES HOME TO FIGHT

(Fr0m aterDu conn RepuDncdn)
Senator Thomas ]. Walsh of Montana has gone home to defend
himself against a determined effort of the Hoover administration
to defeat him in the fall campaign. Senator Steiwer, after a call
at the White House, announced that the first effort of the republican
senatorial campaign committee would be to aid Albert J. Galen,
Washs opponent. The indifference Of practical politics to the public
good could not be better illustrated.
Walsh of Montana is one of the indispensable members of the
senate, for properly he is not Walsh Of Montana but Walsh of the
United States. He is the ablest lawyer in the senate, he is fearless,
independent, indefatgable. He is the foe of special privilege. of
grafters, of constitution wreckers. He and Borah and Norris con
sttute a triumvirate of which the senate could well have been proud
at any time in its existence. They are senators whose horizons are
national and international in their reach; they are senators who
serve no group. but are, within the limits of their powers, tribunes
of the people.
But there are leaders in the republican party who have never
forgiven Walsh for his relentless exposure of the oil scandals of the
best a the servant of the people. He was exposing republican cor
rupdon and by the force of his revelations, hammered home day after
day and week after week, he compelled a reluctant administration
to prosecute. They went out to get him in 1924 but failed, despite
the sweep of Coolidges victory. They are out to get him again, with
all their forces. Will they succeed this time?
There is good reason to hope that they will not For in his home
state there is a large body of Independent voters that recognize
Washs merit Walsh is dry, but many vets will support him
He is a democrat, but many republicans will support him. For IS
years they have kept him in the senate, where he belongs, and they
are likely to send him back there for another six years, despite the.
heavy battalions launched against him from Washington.
