irrigated alfalfa is virtually the
only source of honey, the agricul-
tural department placed some
hives eight miles from the near
est nectar supply. The bees made
daily trips to the alfalfa, loaded
with honey, and returned. Since
the bees flew this distance regu-
larly, the department apiculturists
assume they might fly ever fur
Their, if necessary.
Flying these sixteen-mile trips,
however, some of the bees fail to
return home because sand storms
overtake them or headwinds i'm
pede them. Under such flying con-
ditions a single pound of honey
would represent approximately 49,
600 trips of sixteen miles each,
or nearly 100000 miles of flight
by bees.

MINIMIZE BANDIT RETURNS
(Bottineau IN. ID Courant)

TBUJm6dU IN. D. DOuTdnJJ
The Bismarck bank robbery entaiing a loss of 100000 in cash
serves to bring reflection that there is no justifable reason for a bank
carrying that amount subject to the danger Of bandiry. Cash with
drawals to any great amount are rare, unless a person o firm are
switching their accounts and that could be arranged without ex-
change of cash. Some form of universal credit paper could be made
to serve for cash, so that a bank of the Bismarck banks size should
not need to carry more than $4,000 at most. Small country banks
could arrange to have not more than a third of that amount. What
will best tend to dampen the ardor of bandits is to make returns
not commensurate with the hazard.
r employed, some sort of foot buttons could be installed that would
set off an alarm. Noise is what will rout bandits effectively. Few
bandits would have the hardihood to stand their ground at the clang-
ing of a bell known to mean an institution was being robbed. Of
course one must comply with the order hands up when confronted
with the muzzle of a gun or automatic revolver, but it seems to US
stealthy, quiet foot movement is possible where there are four or
more people behind a railing. And this is the easier done IL ordered

Armed resistance or preparation IN the outside is o little avail
since the robbery is usually owe before anyone is aware of what

States Senate of his fitness for
the place. Senator Walsh was a
member of the committee and af-
ter an exhaustive inquiry into the
charges made against Mr.. Bran
deis, he filed a report advocating
his confirmation and later cham
pioned his cause on the floor Of
the senate.
1t vas clear to Senator Walsh,
as it was clear to the rest OF the
country, that the special interests
of the United States were in a
deadly conspiracy to defeat the
appointment of the most progress
sive man eve named for member
ship on the nations highest
court. He saw in it another effort
to balk the will of the people
and to defeat the benevolent aims
and purposes of Woodrow Wilson.
And he fought it with all his well
recognized prestige as a lawyer.
The people of Montana sent
Senator Walsh to Washington be-
cause they believed him to be an
enlightened and intelligent radi-
cal. That belief has received
abundant confirmation in the
course which he followed. In ev-
cry clash between property rights
and human rights the latter have
outweighed the former in his
mind. He has sought consistently
to humanize the contacts of gov
eminent and to justify the faith
of the people in their democratic
institutions.

A we'll balanced liberal who can

That is the characterization that
fits Senator Walsh when he is

than five years in the United

No better test of the political
attitude of a public man was ever
presented than the controversy

of wheat and other grain can hardly go lower thar it was a week or

as the spectators and exporters have the crop bought up the price
ought to advance, and a new crop of milionaires made at the ex-
pense of agriculture. In any event the farmer who can, takes no

NO. "a
The Three-Mill Levy

nc hSSIl Levy
The period of operation of the special levy voted in 1920
for the support of the teaching units of the University of
Montana ends this year. The levy proposed in Referendum
No. "a replaces the one which expires.
The expiring levy was for one and one-half mills and
provided for the operation of the State University at Missoula,
the State College at Bozeman, the Montana School of Mines
at Butte and the State Normal College at Dillon. The proposed
measure is for three mills and will support the four mentioned
institutions as well as the Eastern Montana Normal School
at Billings, the Montana Experiment Station and it's branches,
the Montana Extension Service, the Soil Survey, the State
approximately two and onehalf mills were required to
operate all of these institutions last year-one and onehalf
Fund. Thus, the proposed measure will make it possible for
the Legislature to levy not more than one-half mill additional
for these institutions.
The passage of the threemill levy will relieve the General
Fund of the support of all University units and service insti-
tutions listed above. This will make it possible to maintain
the other institutions, departments and offices of the State
and reduce the Indebtedness against the General Fund. Mon
tana now has a warrant Indebtedness of more than three and
one-half million dollars, which is costing more than 100000
a year in interest.
The people of Montana must decide this matter because
the Constitution provides that the Legislature may levy for
State purposes not more than two and onehalf mills when
total valuations are less than six hundred million dollars and
not more than two mills when total valuations exceed that
amount Since 1920 the State has had a total levy of three
and onehalf mils-two mills as allowed by the Constitution
and one and one-half mills from the special levy which now
expires.
The passage of the proposed threemil levy is necessary
because it is manifestly impossible to operate the offices, de
partments and institutions of the State On the inadequate
milage permitted by the Constitution.
The passage of Referendum No. "a will merely give the
Legislature authority to levy up to three mills if necessary.
1t will in no way interfere with efforts to change tax systems.
1t will, however, avert a crisis in State affairs and make pos
sible an intelligent, wel[planned study of the tax structure.
If the Legislature should levy the entire three mills, the
property owner would pay one and one-haf mills more toward
the support OF the State than ne has been paying since 1920.
Thus the owner of real estate assessed at $1,000, which means
a taxable valuation of $780, would pay As cents more than
formerly.

REFERENDUM NO. 80
The S3,OOO,O 900 Bond Issue

The 100000 Bond Issue
Referendum No. SO will give the State Legislature au
thority to issue bonds up to 100000 to provide for the build
ing and equipment needs of IA State Institutions.
The institutions listed in this referendum are: State
Prison at Deer Lodge, State Hospital at Warm Springs, State
Miles City, State Schools for Deaf, Blind and Feeble Minded
at Boulder, State tuberculosis Santarium at Galen, State
Vocational School at Helena, State Soldiers Home at Column
ba Falls, State University at Missoula, State College at Boze-
man, Montana School of Mines at Butte, State Normal College
at Dillon, Eastern Montana Normal School at Billings, and
Northern Montana School at Hayre.
Why is the Bond Issue Necessary?
Indications Of some of the more pressing needs Of State
institutions are:
Anticipated, hazardous, firetrap buildings are being used
to capacity in caring for nearly 1900 patients at the State
Hospital for the Insane at Warm Springs.
There are more than 70 prisoners at the Prison at Deer
Lodge, $50 too many for present Accommodations.
There are 25 orphans crowded into cottages intended
for 25 at the Orphans Home at Twin Bridges.
The State is attempting to reform 1S3 boys in an insti-
tuition intended for not more than 100 at the Industrial School
at Miles City.
There is a long waiting list of patients who have applied
FOR admission at the State tuberculosis Sanitarfum at Galen.
Enrolment at the States educational institutions increas-
ed 10 per cent from 1919 to 1928. Two new institutions are
operating in rented quarters.
State revenues in recent years have been insufficient to
take care of the running expenses of the State and it has been
impossible to do more than provide for essential operating
costs at many of the institutions.
If the legislature should authorize the issuance of the
entire $3000O0o worth of bonds it would mean an additional
tax of approximately one-half mill for interest and sinking
fund. Thus the owner of real estate assessed at $1,000, which
means a taxable valuation of $500, would pay is cents moro
than formerly.
