Too Many Elk

Convinced that drastic reduction
in the number OF elk in the Spotted
Bear country is the only way 70
save the herds from ultimate starva-
ton, Northwestern Montana sports
men are asking that the area be
opened to hunting earlier in the
fall says the Kalispell Mentor.
A petition which fs being pre-
pared to the state fish and game
commission has the active support
of the Western Montana FISH and
Game association, the Flathead
Sportsman's association, the White
fish Rod and Gun club, the Kalis-
pell Chamber of Commerce and the
approval of Supervisor J. G. Urku-
hart of the Flathead forest and
Game Warden Archie O'Claire.
Action on the petition followed Q
trip into the area Sunday to inspect
range conditions by a number oil
Kalispell men.
Badly Over-Grazcd
Obviously" said A. r. Johnson
president of the Kalispell Chamber
of Commerce, "the range is over
stocked. we lOuAiA lilC WAiAo W

down that it cannot recover. Rap
idly the entire range is thus be
ing ruined. Unless something i
done it will be only matter of ;
short time before the entire rang
will be ruined for winter feed ant
all the game will starve to death.
--latest game counts reveal tina
about 1890 elk are feeding on rang

Nor is it exclusively a sports
mans problem. Maintenance of tn
shrubs that constitute the winte
browse is closely linked to soil con
servation and flood control, not t

Try and Do It,!

But talk to a labor spokesman
about cutting the hourly wages Of
painters, bricklayers, carpenters
and stone masons And see how
many bricks are thrown in your
direction!
Yet there is persistent idea in
circulation in the several Federal
housing agencies. 1t is this. The
men in the organized building
trades are not able ordinarily to
earn a satisfactory living. The
reason for this is the intermittence
of their employment. If they could
be guaranteed steady work for a
period of several years, at wage
rate which would give them a
much better living than they have
enjoyed in recent years, they
should be willing to make conces-
SionS in the standard hourly rate
now fixed by the unions.
How are you going to guarantee
steady employment? BY building .?
By providing credit for building.

building trades employed indefi-

Would PrOUide Jobs

Multiply these figures 300 times
and you get some idea of what
a 10-year building program at the
rate Of four or five billion dol
lars a year would mean. Not all
Of that would be governmental
expenditure, naturally. Perhaps
not more than a fourth of it.
But the figure is not high. con-
sidering that building operations
at present are running at the
rate Of more than 5000 ,000, 900 a
month, about one-third Of it resi-

shortage of dwellings alone, to
say nothing of building of other
sorts, represents a potential ex-
penditure of ten or fifteen billion
dollars.

given by the Government in the
form of subsidies, loans, direct
expenditure and moral support,

100000 Affected

Labor for years has fought sue
cessfully for the inclusion in legis-
lation Of language requiring the
payment of the prevailing rate
of wages" on all Government con-
tracts or a work financed with
Federal funds. This has been in
terpreted to mean union wages.
Having won that hard-fought bat
tie, it is obvious that labor lead
ers would be extremely reluctant
to yield anything Of the advantage
thus gained.
So far as the future is con-
cerned, the milk of the coconut
seems to be that most of the build
ing to be done in the next few
years will be private building. It
will thus be up to labor and the
contractor to fight out the queS-
ton as to whether some conces-
sion should be made in the hourly
wage rate in return for a guaran-
tee Of regular work.

Realty Trailer

In the investment field 1t is axio-
matte that when values collapse
and subsequently recover, real es-
tate is the last to go down and the
last to come back. 1t trails along
behind the business parade. That
has happened in the current
swings. Building, on the other
hand, follows a different curve.
It works out about like this:
Building slows and comes to a
stop, or reaches a low point in
construction volume. Business
generally feels the effects all
along the line of this decline in
building activity. Employment
suffers, foreclosures increase and
real estate goes into a tailspin.
On the rebound business gradu-
ally climbs out Of its hole, build
ing picks up, and as pay rolls
grow and wages rise, building
and real estate not only share
In the general improvement,
but construction, some Of it
long deferred, steps along at a
faster pace than many other lines
and in turn contributes to the
prosperity Of everyone.

spoke particularly of material pur.
chased in connection with this

five times the gross tonnage of
the Normandie or Queen Mary.
Enough to fill a caravan of
freight cars 73 miles long.
100000 lineal feet of heat

Enough pipe to run a line from

with enough left over to supply

figure is Secretary Ickes'. He
