FAVORABLE VOTE WILL
RUSH ROAD PROGRAM
Passage of Referendum 36 Will Enable
Montana to Finish System
In Next Four Years

The passage of Referendum 80 in
the special election May 5, to permit
the state to issue $4,000, 900 in war
rants against future gasoline tax collec-
lions will enable Montana to complete
It's federal-state highway system in
four years according to figures OBJ
tanned by the Montana Automobile
Association from state highway Of
ficials.
Montana has approximately 5000
miles OF roads in its system OF federal
state highways. OF this nearly $500
miles have been improved and a littla
less than 1900 miles remain to be
improved. With the money available
from the passage of Referendum 35
and the more than s., 600, 900 OF federal
money which it will bring to the state,
plus the federal and state funds which
will be available anyway, Montana
will have approximately $23. 900, GOO for
main highway construction in the next
four years and this will just about
complete the federal-state system.
Should Be No Delay
In view Of the fact that there is
increasing effort being made to have
Congress discontinue or modify the fed
eral aid program, as recently brought
out by Congressman Scott Leavitt, ii
is important that there be no delay in
completing the federal-state highways
system in the state. State leaders
point out that If there is too much
delay Montana may have to pay the
entire cost Of its main highway con
struction, or at least, pay a greater
share than at the present time. Fifty
six per cent of the cost of federal-aiC
highway construction now comes from
the federal government.
County officials realize the impor
lance OF the early completion Of Mon
tana's main highway system. Unfin
ished portions of these highways mus
be maintained by the counties. Whel
they are completed the maintenance i
taken care of by the. state. 1t costs a
least 500 a mile annually to maintain
unfinished roads and thus the 2,20
; miles Of unfinished ~federal-state high
ways are costing the counties NOR
! than $1,000 per year. When tn
: 5000 mile system is completed it wi
relieve the counties of a total mali
t tenance cost Of more than a half mi
lion dollars q year. Thus, more loca
!, roads can be built from county fund!
according to county officials. The fac
that main highways are built by fec
eral and state money, also relieve
!. counties OF the tremendous construt
: tion expense on these roads. Official
explain that II 1t were not for tn
gasoline tax and the federalstate higl
way program, either levies for roa
purposes would have to be great
increased or comparatively little co
!, struction work could be done.

In nearly every community may be found quite a number of persons who consider them selves leading citizens, but in truth are helping dig a grave for their town.
 They do it through their failure to support the institu- tions which make the town what it is. They do it by send ing away for merchandise which might be bought with equal advantage at home. They do it ], frequently through thoughtlessness, but very often through sheer disregard for the wnlfare of the, community of which they are 9 part.

A REDEMPTION
By Hill Billy Seattle Star.

~~A1A DAAA Y. 0OCUoA1 hIVSSAs
 Charles Wright of Whitefish, Mont, wants to know, as follows:
 My Dear Brother: am so fed up with mal-administration of justice and political blah that l must have you answer me a couple Of questions. I guess you will come as near speaking your mind as anyone.
 How in the name of justice can a man be guilty of selling booze, but the other party be not guilty when he buys it?
 How can Albert Fall be guilty of accepting a bribe, but Doheny mt guilty of giving it? Tn other words, how can you have onc-mqn conspiracy?"
 My Dear Fellow: You and everyone else know the answers. But, bless you, I'll oblige.
 The gentlemen who are making living out of the Vol stead act, whether they b e moonshiners, bootleggers of the Wilson's, the Cannons and the McBrides. have never desired to make prohibition effective on the citizen who buys. They de- sire to build up an oligarchy, set up a man of straw, and keep things muddled.
 Any effective enforcement of the Volstead net on the pur- chaser, or upor the home brew CT, or the farm cider maker, or i the home wine squeezer, would !, find out the majority of the Gdults of this nation in jail and the entire reform business bust ed for 100 years.
 As to MT. Fall, those who sit in the c. O. P. hoWdah-a- how dah ("protected seat for the rafe riding of an elephant) had to have 2 fall guy and who would better serve than one named at birth for the job?
 Of course, it was hoped at one time that the sacrificing of the lesser goats, like Gaston Means, might appease the wrath of the popular gods. out the storm howled too loudly-What with another election just ahead-so they had to have a real big goat, with whishers and every thing.
 As to how there can be only one party to a conspiracy, that does seem a bit difficult, but it is being done every day. Scores of hiiackers and moonshiners cnd rum-runrers have been convicted of conspiracy to vio- late tn2 Volstead act, while the corrupt, but influential, federal

A National Park in Southeast Alaska

Stewart Edward White, auth or and big game hunter, is on hs way to Alaska again in an effort to protect the Alaska brown bear. Many AlaskanS think MT. Whites sympathy for the brownies is sadly misplaced and he has fallen somewhat in their regard on account of his proposal to make a game pre- serve of one of the larger islands in southeastern Alaska such as Baranoff, Chichagoff or Ad- miralty. AS we understand it, the proposed reservation is not so much for the benefit of the bears as for the nonresident sportsmen But now MT. White suggests national park and argues that "A national park in Southeastern Alaska has great
