a project that is urgently needed.
At no point on the river below
Livingston can a suitable reservoir
site be found; reservoirs between
Livingston and Gardner-one in
the Paradise valley and the other

be economically unfeasible.
''If we could have held back the

Agriculture experienced its in
ception in the Bitter Root valley
80 years ago when a Jesuit mis-
sionary, the Rev. Fr., P. ]. De
Smet, seeded the first parcel of
ground for the Indians. However,
development of agriculture was
slow and it was not until the lat
ter part of the 10th century that
it found itself.
Montana has five vegetable and
fruit canneries which in 1890
packed 91,194 cases of peas,
beans, cherries, sauer kraut,
pumpkin, corn and carrots; equal
in all to 307 carloads.

ALLOT MENT PLAN !
MAY RECUPERATE
farmers POWER

Helena, Mont, tUP)-Urgine
price regulation of wheat through
operation of the allotment plan
Land Commissioner |. NJ. Brand
jed has declared at would res
tore the farmers purchasing pow.
er and thereby reduce the deplor-
able unemployment in which mil
lions OF citizens are now tester
ing
The great fundamental crea-
tive farm industry is rapidly drift
ing iato the grinding poverty and
gnawing DISTRESS" Brandiord said.
And this distress contributes its
fell share to the unemployment,
suffering, and distress now pre-
vailing in nearly all other indus
tries throughout the country.
Russia IS the greatest produc-
er of wheat in the world; it has
vast areas of additional land that
may be utilized for wheat produc-
tion; and her leaders are desper-
ately anxious to produce goods for
export.
80 long as we continue to ex-
port wheat, and the present strug-
gle in Russia continues, the con-
script wages of Russia will tend
to fix pauper prices on American
wheat-not only the exported sur
plus, but on the main portion of
the crop which is consumed at
home"
Brandjord pointed out that it
was virtually impossible to bring
the millions of farmers into con-
certed action on such farm pro-
grams as acreage reduction, al
though ruinous prices will cause
thousands of farmers to fail.
The allotment plan was present
ed as early as 1926 by DR.. w. J.
Spillman of the department of ag-
rieulture, Brandjord said, but had
been set aside for other plans
which had not entirely solved the
farm problem.
The fundamental idea of this
plan,h he said, rs to make the
tariff on wheat, or part of this |
tariff, effective on that part of |
the wheat which is utilized at
home, about three-fourths Of the |
entire production. It does not at
tempt to boost the price on ex-
ported wheat The export trade |
will act as a spillWay for the sur
plus"
He asserted the plan would
work equally well for cotton and
some other major crops, while
recuperation of these basic agri-
cultural industries would have "a |
tonic effect on the price of all
fam products,
Summing the advantages of the
allotment plan, Brandjord said |
that it would not tempt the pro-
ducer to increase his wheat acre
age; that it would give one pro-
ducer the equal benefit and ad-
vantage of the reduction in acre
age by some other producer; that
it would not make the federal
government "a loser and the bor-
rover a pauper as the present
loan policy is sure to do; that it
would not encourage the use Of
low grade lands unsuitable for
wheat production, and that it
would equalize the returns from
wheat farming between good.
years and poor.

LEGISLATURE OF ALASKA SINE DIES
 NO HARM DONE
NO OPTIONAL BURDENS BY MORE TAXATION,
 SAID

JUNEAU, May 1. Especial to The Gateway -- The 10th Legislature equalled the record of it's two inn mediate predecessors in that it balanced it's budget and did not raise taxes on any single item. With it's clocks stopped since mid night it adjourned sine die at SIS this morning.
 The tax measure which was passed by the House was buried deep in the Senate. The Finance Committee is never to be resur- rected and fears that Alaska fish cries and mining industries would be unfairly burdened if additional taxes were inferred.
 The Territory will sail close to the wind for the next two years but estimates indicate that the treasury will have $4OO,OOO on hand when the 1883 Legislature conveneS and no debts to liqudate.
 Ziegler,s excise tax on fibre board containers never reached a vote in the Senate. Three junior Senators. Shattuck, first; Lomen, second, and Bragaw, third, con- ferred with representatives of can ners over the situation with the result that Thursday afternoon orders for hundreds of thousands of box shocks poured into Ju- 1eau for Southeast Alaska mills and the crisis was passed with the outlook now for operations for the entire season owing to the demand for shocks, neceSsitatin full time operation of box mills.

POLITICIANS AFTER AUD|TOR'S OFFICE,
 .f0R SOME REASON
PERSONALITIES APPEAR EVI- DENT AMONG RANKS OF
 COMMITTEE

JUNEAU, May 1. Especial to The Gateway)-In a report signed by all eight members of the legisla- tive inquiry committee after Q six week investigation into the conduct of Territorial offices, condemned the "haphazard" sys- tenn, declaring most of the con- flictS and discords resulted from personalities between several of fices andto their attitude toward problems confronting them"
 The report said legislature stu dies should be made a part of every legislature and presented eight measures designed to cor rect the worst of the defects, principally measure which seeks to create a board of ex- aminers to which appeals from the auditors ruling on claims might be taken and whose judg- ment in such matters would be final.
 It removes the auditor from the banking board and board of road commissioners, replacing him on the former with the attorney general, and on the latter, by the highway engineer.
 
 Another bill would require the treasurer to countersign all vouch- CTS covering expenses, including office expenditures of the audi tor. The others deal with filing of school budgets and certain certificates with the auditor.

SOUNDS GOOD F0R
 THE FUTURE BUT HOW
 ABOUT PRESENT TIME?

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 1. (P)-The opinion tha future wea- ther prophets will be able to fore cast droughts and wet spells as much as 25 years in advance, was expressed before the American Geophysical Union.
 By a closer study of sunspots and output of heat from the sur face of oceans, A. F. Gorton, of the ScrippS Institution of Ocean, eography, Calif., said evidence of rainfall increases and decreases in regular cycles over certain regions.
 If the length of these cycles are established accurately it will be of enormous economic value to the industry of agriculture.
 Rainfall cycles may be related to changes to the amount of ra- diatiOn from the sun, he said, and advanced the theory that the major seasonal weather changes on continents will be caused by variations of heat given off from the surface of oceans.
