Child Psychology Their Speciality
 In City Vienna
(By The Associated Press)


 VIENNA, Austria, Oct. 8, - Does your child reach eagerly for a toy held before him?
 What does he do when a bell is rung and then handed to him? These are among the tests meth ods being developed in the psy- chological institute of the Uni versity of Vienna by Professors Charlotte and Karl Buehler and launched as new bases for child psychology.
 Smart as a Monkey
 One of their conclusions so far is that an average 2-year-old child has the mental develop ment of an adult chimpanzee.
 That conclusion was reached by placing a toy beyond a child's reach outside his play pen and giving him a stick. His ability to retrieve the toy with the stick is a measure of his intelligence.
 Laboratory for the professors Buehler is the children's receiv ing station of Vienna, where children from 6 months to three years old are placed if their home life is unsatisfactory.
 Tests Tell Character
 During a four weeks stay at the station they are given play" tests to determine whether some mental or emotional difficulty re- quires training in an institution or whether they are normal and can be entrusted to foster par ents.
 One of the common tests is the "grasping tests". In this de- sirable object is held before the child. Whether he reaches for it or remains passive indicates his

ONE COUNTY IN A JACKPOT.

At least one Montana county has got
itself into a jackpot 1t is MusselsheIl
county, which apparently Is in con-
dition where 1t is unable to pay its out
standing indebtedness. Recently the
county proposed to issue $250000 In
bonds to refund the indebtedness Of
the county. If accrued and delinquent
interest is included, 1t is said the debt
will be close to 100000 The state
land board has refused to buy any OF
the proposed bond issue, probably be-
cause OF the fact that the county has
apparently exceeded its bonded indebt-
edness. The total assessed valuation of
Musselshell county is $9,772,921. The
constitutional limitation is per cent
of the valuation. which in this case
would amount to $488, 646.05. 1t is said
that the officers and taxpayers of Mus
selshell county admit the county is un-
able to pay the full amount of its
bonded debt with interest.

Troy Moose Lodge
has 10th Birthday

On Monday night a delegation of
Libby Moose motored to Troy to help
the Moose III that city celebrate the
10Th anniversary Of the lodge. Al
though Troy has gone through much
worse depression than has some other
communities OF the charter
members who joined in January, 1877,
are still found TO be active and still
trying to hold the organization to-
gether. During those 20 years, Troy
has lost the Great Northern shops, a
lslrge mine and also large sawmill.
These three industries had at one time
employed several hundred men who
made I'D the membership of the Troy
lodge But now those men have drift
ed to other places to find employment
and naturally the Moose lodge in that
CITY has felt their loss.
Troy lodge has been fortunate in
some ways Although they have lost
in membership they have their own
hall, which was paid for in 1929. The
mortgage and deed was formally pre-
scented to the order by M. E. Thomas,
who was dictator at that time, at a
dedication ceremony on Sept. 16, 1929.
OF the charter members who Joined
the order in 1917, only five are left who
are active. They are. Chas. Hurd, ST.,
Bob Young. Hiram Esenburg, and Bert
Coffman of Troy. and William Dippold
ot Deer Park, Wash Only three of
them were present Monday night to
welcome the visitors and help with the
entertainment.
After several hours of miscellaneous
entertainment, the floor of the hall
was cleared and room made for two
long tables wherein a big turkey din
ner was served to all present.
Vernon Bessey of Libby acted as
master of ceremonies and in a very
fitting way praised Troy for their un-
firing efforts TO hold on and build UP,
as they have done in the past
Members from Libby who attended
were. Past Dictators, Harold Nelson and
wife. F. d. Warner and wife, Glen E

New Governor Would
Reduce Tax Burden

In Helena last Monday Roy E. Ayers
was inaugurated 10th governor of Mon
tana and the first native-born execu-
tive of the state. In simple ceremony
lasting only about five minutes, the
oath of office was taken by the new
executive, his aged father, Lewistown
rancher, administering the oath, he
acting under temporary appointment as
a deputy clerk of the Montana supreme
court
Later in his inaugural message to the
state legislature, Governor Ayers urged
the utmost economy in state govern
ment and equalization of taxes. The
most important recommendations made
by the governor were:
He called attention to the increasing
number Of governmental bodies and
state functionaries; said many of them
were not necessary and urged their
adjustment.
Urged a careful study of the tax
structure. AT present real property
carries too large part Of the tax bur
den Recommended a somewhat higher
tax against corporations, solvent Sc
curities and chain stores; also higher
income and inheritance taxes, likewise
greater levy against public utilities.
BY this means, the governor believes
the tax against real property for state
purposes can be entirely eliminated,
thus relieving home and farm owners.
He urged great care in making APP
preparations for state institutions, sug-
costing that many of them could prob
ably operate without increased APP
preparations by exercising careful
economy.
He recommended early enactment OF
laws to cooperate with the federal gov
eminent in social security administra-
| ton.
| He said the states control and OPP
Grafton of the liquor business had
brought substantial profit to the state
but, said the governor, the traffic
should be entirely free from political
control or influence" He said the
governor should not be member Of
the liquor board and should be freec
from its many detailed requirements.

Comment
WORTHWHILE AND OTHERWISE.
ON MATTERS IMPORTANT AND
UNIMPORTANT.
FREE GOVERNMENTS THE BEST

In another excellent article by Walter
Lippmann, that astute thinker asks,
Waterman, What of the Night? He re-
fers to 1886 as the seventh year of the
world crisis and says the close of the
year finds free nations everywhere re-
covering, their constitutional systems
intact, their defenses against aggression
stronger, and with their confidence in
themselves and in their way of life
being rapidly restored. Mr.. Lppmann
writes:
1.-THE year 1886 closes with all the
signs indicating that both in well-being
and in power the free nations are in
the ascendant the others sinking into
greater difficulties. entangled In more
and more danger. In the civilization
that is free the spontaneous energies of
men are again active; In the societies
that are enslaved the ingenuity of the
few Is being tried to the uttermost."
Once again it is being proven that
an enslaved people can never equal
free people. Americans should again
ponder that eternal truth.
