that the foliage is not dense enough to
pass inspection standards for mar

dense stands Of young growth are not
thinned out all trees on the area make
a slow rate of growth and eventually
a great number die because Of COM
petition for the available supply of sum
light and other elements required for
growth. Because of the denseness OF
the stand, the dead trees remain in an
upright position for many years and
during dry seasons result in a serious
fire hazard for the same reason that
fire spreads rapidly in dry grass. Also
the cutting Of Christmas trees requires
the construction of roads and trails
which make the area more accessible
to men sent to suppress any fires which
might occur.
3 From an economic and social
standpoint the following benefits ensue:
(a) Approximately 300 men in Lin
coin county work for period varying
from few weeks to as much as two
months each harvesting of the Christ
mas. tree crop. Practically every per-
son SO employed would be idle as the
Christmas tree harvest starts about
October Is and lasts until December Is,
as during this period farm work has
tapered off, seasonal employment with
the forest service for control of road
construction jobs has ended and large
number of the logging operations have
been shut down because of wet wealth
err. muddy roads, etc The income for
labor to the local inhabitants for the
harvesting of Christmas trees during
the 1886 season for the cutting of crop
of about 100000 trees amounted to $46,-
0O0.00. In addition to trees cut in Lin
coin county, about 10000 trees were cut
on private land in Canada and shipped
from Eureka, making total Of 100000
trees producing a labor income Of at
least $4,000.
From the foregoing facts il is obvious
that the cutting of Christmas trees is
not detrimental to the forest resources
OF Montana; instead it is a beneficial
practice and at the same time results

Following is copy of the resolu-
ton adopted by the Libby Lions club
at its last meeting against the pro-
posed tax on Christmas trees. Copies
of the resolution have been sent to
Senator Baker, Representative Ander-
son, Montanans, Inc, Frank Van Der
mark, district governor of the Lions
organization, and to the Eureka Com
mercial Club. The resolution follows:
/. The cutting of Christmas trees is
beneficial to the forest because
(a) Stands of young growth, having
as many as 5000 trees per acre, and SO
dense that man or beast has difficulty
in crawling through them, are thinned
out
(b) In the production of timber a
procedure must be practiced that is
comparable to that of gardener thin
ming out the young vegetables SO that
selected plants will have sufficient
light and a large enough supply of soil
nutriment and moisture to grow rapidly
and reach maturity in~season.
(c) In this respect it may be we'll to
mention that the average stand per acre
of mature timber in the locality before
Christmas trees are being cut amounts
to 10 M BF per acre, the average tree
having volume of 500 BF or an aver
age of twenty trees per acre; SO it is
obvious that thinning is necessary.
(d) Many of the dense stands of
young growth are composed of several
species of which larch and yellow pine
are the most desirable because of their
rapid growth and quality Of timber
produced Because Of slow growth and
poor quality of timber produced by
trees of Douglas fir species, this type
does not result In the highest return
that an area is capable of producing.
Douglas fir is the only species cut for
Christmas trees; by cutting large per-
centage of the Douglas fir young
growth for Christmas trees, the desir-
able trees are given a better chance
to grow for the same reason that a
farmer pulls weeds to make certain that
a better yield per acre will be obtained
(e) The cutting of Christmas trees
will not denude an area to the extent
that IT will impair the water shed value
of the forests as only Douglas fir trees
are. utilized for Christmas trees. even
in pure stand of Douglas fir the
thrifty and rapidly growing trees are
not cut for the reason that when tree

Biz Sum Expended
On Montana Relief

The sum of $37 PSI SGT was expended

work relief, according to the National
Emergency Council. The statement is
based on an official report by the
President of the United States to Con-
gress regarding expenditures under the
Emergency Relief Appropriation Acts
Of 1885 and 1886. From April 8, 1896,

Landowners Responsible
For Putting Out Fires

MISSOULA.--Judge Charles N. Pray
held recently in a case in the United
States district court, at Missoula, that
owners of land ON which are slash,
brush, trees, dried grass, or other nat
ural growth, must act promptly to put
out fires starting on their lands dur
ing the summer season. or compensate
those authorized by the state law to
put it out.
The Montana law declares such a
fire public nuisance, because of its
natural tendency to spread to other
lands in the neighborhood The law
also provides that If landowner fails
or refuses to put out a fire on his
property at his own expense, any local
fire prevention association, the state
forester, or forest service workers may
do ii and require the landowner, or
the landowners, to pay for the work
done.
The law holds the landowner re-
sponsible even though the fire was
started by lightning, or smoker, or
in any other manner over which he
had no control. He may avoid this re-
sponsibility, however, by arranging be-
forehand with a local fire prevention
association or the forest service to do
the work. for which there is an annual
charge of only few cents an acre.
Each association and the forest service
has ready at all times tools and ex-
perienced man power to do the job bet
ter than the individual landowner can.
When Judge Pray made his decision,
he had before him a claim of the Cab
met national forest for $1,1e3, the cost
of putting out q fire on land owned
by the First State Bank of Thompson
Falls, which had made no previous ar
for the control of fire on its
holdings.
At THE time the fire started the en-
ployees of the Cabinet forest did not
know who owned the land. Never
theless, Cabinet forest employees were
sent at once to fight the fire, which
was a serious menace to national forest
The next day, forest of
ficers learned who owned the land
and notified the president Of the bank
of the fire and of the work by forest
service men to control it. The bank
failed to take steps to put out the
fire and refused to pay for the work
done. The government sued the bank
and obtained a judgment.

GOVERNOR ROY AYERS
CLEARS DECKS FOR
ECONOMY PROGRAM

With the third week of the 60-day
session of the legislature ended and
both senate and house seeking to speed
up work as the fourth week starts,
Governor Roy Ayers is making a SIREN
uous effort to clear the decks for his
economy program.
The most outstanding move of the
past week was that made by him in the
water conservation department. The
governor is chairman of that board and
the members are appointees of the gov
ernor. He had hardly taken the oath
of office when he called in Robert KEEL
ly, secretary of the board and asked
him to furnish the governor with list
of the employees and additional in
formation on what ones could be dis
pensed with and not endanger needed
work of the department.
AS a result 10 designations were
placed on the desk of the governor the
next morning. Five attorneys had been
employed. Three of these were among
the designations and two are now do
ing the work that five were doing.
A similar policy is being followed in
other departments Particular atten-
ton is being paid to inspectors and
deputies who spend the major part of
their time travelling over the state or
away from the offices at Helena
Another economy and efficiency
measure planned by Governor Ayers
consists of what might be termed seq
regations and, combinations
There is no reason" said Governor
Ayers why the labor department
should have a labor head in the de-
partnent of agriculture, a labor CO.
ordinator on the highway pay rolls, a
labor director in still another depart
ment. All these should be combined in
a labor department for the entire state
business and organization under a de-
partment of labor with commissioner
in charge. The federal government has
that segregated
THE same is true of the publicity
department. That should be operated
under one head giving out through the
newspapers and literature prepared to
all the people of the state information
regarding all the departments Of state
government and what is being done by
these departments. :
THAT should mean such work as is
now being done separately by the state

Public Getting Tired
Of Excessive Speed

Convinced that the public is rapidly
overcoming its mania for excessive
highway speeds, ]. r. Davis, assistant
sales director of the Ford Motor Com
pany, who spent the past week in Sc
attic comforting with local Ford Of
ficials, declared that the trend was to-
ward cars of lesser speed but greater
economy and comfort.
''The hysteria OF speed has become a
thing of the past he said, land in its
stead the motoring public is Develop
ing worthwhile appreciation for COM
Portable, economical and dependable
transportation"
He spent the greater part of his time
here with H. Fl. Wilcox, Seattle branch
manager of the Ford Motor Company,
going over the unusually high sales
records set up in the Pacific Northwest
during the past year. He was favorably
impressed with the comparative volume
of sales of the 60-horsepower units for
1887 in the Seattle territory.
To illustrate the number of Fords
being sold, Davis said that he had re-
ceived telephone communication from
Dearborn advising him that the 25,-
COO, OOuth Ford had rolled off the as
sembly line only this week. He said
that during December there was a de-
mand for 100000 Fords and that only
10000, the monthly production aver
age, were available to fill this market
In commenting upon the swing to-
ward the lighter powered cars, Davis
pointed out that throughout the coun-
try as we'll as in the Northwest this
trend is becoming more and more
noticeable. In substantiation he de-
clared, that IS percent of the Ford VS.
sales are being made in the new CO.
horsepower bracket, Va model which
Ford introduced for the first time this
year. This figure Is greatly in excess
of all expectations made by factory Of
ficials at the time this new car was
first announced.
During his trip which has taken him
into nearly every section of the coun-
try. Davis has made a thorough study
of general business conditions. He re-
ports that business is universally on the
up grade in all lines and in all sec
tons and that recovery is not in the
least spotty.
He left the Northwest Wednesday and
will return to Dearborn via California.

they would have number of the most
important progressive measures that
have been introduced or noticed.
through third reading and on the way
to the senate for action there.
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1937-01-28

I
to the senate for action there.
One bill that has aroused much con-
troversy and has resulted in some di-
vision among friends. 1t is Senate bill
No. IL. The bill was introduced and
sponsored by Arlie. Foor, Mahoney,
Angvick and Anderson of Richland,
four of the most able and active pro-
gressives in the senate
1t Immediately encountered the in
tense opposition of Senator Harry Mey-
er of Butte and the labor forces of the
big mining city.
The reason is easy to see when the
bill is examined 1t gives to the courts
the right to combine cases where the
court believes several defendants
should be tried jointly instead of sep
arately.
The reason for introducing the meas
ure in brief was as follows.
Five alleged horse thieves were ar
rested in eastern Montana charged
with stealing horses. Each one de-
manded separate trial. That meant
putting the county to a great expense,
obtaining five separate juries and TAX
ing time of courts, officials and wit
nesses for trial of five men alleged to
be guilty of single crime
The Senate bill allowed the court If
IN its discretion no injustice would be
done to consolidate these.
But the Butte labor forces in op-
position to the measure said
Suppose there is a strike in Butte
and trouble and some men in the
crowd violate the law and others are
arrested with them and all put on trial
together. Then the innocent would be
punished with the guilty"
The farmer senators who sponsored
the bill pointed out to the labor forces
that the courts in that event would
still have the power to give separate
trials. But that argument didn't sat-
isfy the labor representatives.
What the final outcome will be on
this bill was not decided at this writ
ing but it well looked as If it might
result in some division among those
who have been working together in
the senate on general progressive
program.
new revenue measure that is at
tracing wide attention is one that
practically doubled the income tax.
