KalispelI is west Of the continental
divide, the intra-state rate will
have some bearing on the establish
ment of lower rate to Spokane, he
said.
Alternative Routes
The distance from Cut Bank ia
Spokane is 401 miles. The dis
lance from Coutts to Spokane on the
Great Northern is 465 miles; from
Coutts to Spokane over the Canad-
ian Pacific railroad, 45S miles.
Some idea OF what might be ex1
pected in rates is suggested by the
rate of 10 cents per cwt. granted
by the Canadian Pacific from Cali
gary to Regina.
Rate To North Dakota
The Great Northern rate from Cut
Bank to Regina is 26 cents per
hundred. 1t is understood that thtg
rate is split between the Great
Northern and the C. P. r on basis
of 10 cents to Nortlhgate and Z
cents from Northgate over the C. P.
R. to Regina. Establishment Of a
low rate to Regina might have an
important effect on pending refinery
A rate granted on Nov. Is from
Cut Bank to Yorkton, Sask. a dis
lance of $50 miles, Of 40 cents per
hundred is said to indicate pos
sible rate Of 16 cents to II cents
per hundred to Spokane.
The distance from Cut Bank to
Minot, N. D., is 55S miles as com
pared with 401 miles to Spokane.
Appreciate Emergency Rate
Producers expressed appreciation
of the prompt granting of the emer-
gency rate of the Great Northern
railway from Cut Bank to Billings
This rate of II cents made possible
the sale of $4,000 barrels OF crude
to the Yale refinery at Billings.
This emergency rate expires on April
1. however.
The traffic Association, when or
ganization is completed, win have
prepared a schedule OF rates on
crude and ON refined products, with
a view to developing permanent mar
kets for north Montana crude, pro-
viding greater tonnage than the
Great Northern railway has ever be-
fore enjoyed from the Montana oil
industry. 1t is expected that the
weight of the Great Falls Chamber
of Commerce will be thrown
behind the movement, with the
assistance of Senator B. K.
Wheeler, chairman of the power
ful senate interstate commerce
committee, whose active interest has
already been exercised in the pre-
liminary move toward rate adjust
ments.

One of the great lacks of the

is the lack of knowledge by filling

as by the public. A Kelvin operator

emptions whatever and with the tax
extended far beyond the bounds of re-
tail trade.
This sort of; strategy is somewhat in
line with their actions in the last leg
islature when they vigorously fought
to impose the sales tax on hotel meals
and rooms after they had been beaten
in the main battle to secure numerous
exemptions and a reduction of the
rate.

been no surface indications about

BOTH SIDES UPSET
. BY THE PRESIDENT
Jibe at Supreme Court
Rattles Friend and Foe
of Constitution
By CHARLES T.. STEWART
Central Press COlumniSt

Washington, Jan. 12.--Before Pres-
dent Roosevelt delivered his message
at the opening of Congress a state of
filters prevailed among strict con-
stitutionalists lest his address serve
as a signal for the beginning of a
campaign virtually to scrap the fun
damental law of the country.
Now constitutional amendmentists
are equally jittery because the exc
cutive address supported old-time
principles if interpreted to meet mod
ern conditions.
1t is to be borne in mind that sew
eral legislators had an amendment
each to offer at the current session on
Capitol Hill. They expected respec-
lively to make such amendments their
principal stock in trade on into the
indefinite future. And they looked for
the administration blessing.
At one fell swoop the administra-
ton has said that at least for the pre-
sent it is uninterested in them.
BOTH SIDES Ratified
1t is enough to rattle any political
ed on as his principal asset suddenly
perhaps never
For that matter the constitutions
alists are flabbergasted also The con-
stitutionalists were all set to attack
the administration folk as Constitu-
ton wreckers.
Instead, the president puts it that
he is the CONSTITUTIONS defender.
Thus their thunder likewise is stolen.
AS TO SUPREME COURT
Thus a complete reimbursement of
tactics is necessary on both sides.
That it embarrasses conservative
Republicanism by knocking it out as
an issue, of course, is a matter of no
regret to the White House.
But there is an unmanagable Demo-
cratic element which the administra-
tion doubtless wished to call in to
heel, too. This element planned to
rush and hustle the President into a
program of its own devising. The
President has put the husher on that
element also.
And there are constitution-amen
ing radicals of both parties whom he
doubtless desired to curb-not crush
but nullify.
How much of warning the Presi-
dent intended to convey to the SUI
preme Court is problematic.
Today's Supreme Court is conserva-
tive. President Roosevelt almost spe-
officially said that he wants a liberal
one. 1t can become liberal in two
ways. If enough of its old-time reac-
tionary members kindly will die
some of them are very aged-he can

pension of more than $40 a month.
In fact, there is very strong opinion
in good many quarters here that the
State cannot even provide a $40 a
month pension unless the counties
will participate and pay at least one
fourth of the States share. This
would cost the counties only $3.50 a
month per pensioner, which would
amount to a total of 100000 a year
on the basis Of 10000 pensioners and
100000 a year on the basis of 10000
pensioners.
The greatest advantage of county
participation is matching the Federal
old age pension grants, however, is
that this would insure county admin
istration of the fund, with county
boards to determine those who are
eligible, which is regarded as highly
desirable. In the first place, this will
give the counties the job of selecting
who will and will not get pensions
while in the second place, it will tend
to reduce the number Of those ap-
proved for pensions, according~to most
opinion. For if the counties know
they will have to pay out $3.50 a
month from county funds for every
pensioner approved, they will be more
careful to exclude those not entitled
to or not in need of pensions, most
observers believe.

should decide to go the limit and pro
vide a pension Of $50 a month, OF
which the state or State and counties
would provide SIS month, the cost
nation. would be $4,000 a year for
TO the State, without county partlcl-
20 GOO pensioners and $5,40O,000 a year
for 10000 pensioners If the counties
should pay one-fourth of the amount
put up to match the Federal funds for
a $50 a month pension, the State
would have to put up $27OOOOO
wear and the counties $9OO,OOO year
to provide for 10000 pensioners. Ii
there should be 10000 pensioners on
$50 a month basis, the state would
have to put up $4,O5O,O0O and the
counties $1,350,000 a year.
These estimates are based on the
assumptiOo ,',-4 t'o~e VII! be a mini
mum of 5000 .~...A Il maximum OF 3U,-
900 persons 65 years old or older in
North Carolina who will be eligible
to receive pensions. At the present
time there are approximately 141,0O)
persons in North Carolina 60 years
of age or older. The experience IN
other states having old age pension
laws is that between II IL and %
per cent of this number become elig-
ible for pensions, according to Mrs.
w. T. Bost, commissioner of public
welfare, while the average is about
13 per cent. Accordingly, Mrs. Bost
estimates that between 10000 and 3d.
900 oldsters IS years old or older will
qualify for pensions if and when
North Carolina enacts an old age pen
siOns law.
Because the $2,4OO,OOO to $3,6Oo,OO0
needed for old age pensions is in adj
dition to the $5,O00,O00 increase in the
general fund recommended by the
Advisory Budget Commission, thus
making the total new revenue need
ed amount to between $7,400,000 and
$8600,000, even if the general assem-
bly, makes no increases in the budget
recommendations, many observers are
already convinced that the general as

NO PROVISION I'M BUDGET
FOR OLD AGE PENSION ACT
Dafly dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
by j. G.. BASKERVILLE,


Raleigh, June 12-No provision is
made in the budget submitted to the
General Assembly today by Governor
Clyde r. Hoey for old age pensions
or any of the. various social security
activities which must be supported
wholly or in part 10y the State. The
reason for this is the precedent that
the Advisory Budget Commission
never anticipates any new objects of
expense in presenting it's biennial bud
get 1t is generally agreed that any
where from $2,50O,0O0 to 100000 a
year more than than is called for in
the budget will be needed for old age
pensions alone, depending upon the
extent to which the General Assembly
decides to participate in the old. age
pensions program with the Social Sc
curity Board.
The budget report, however, anti
cipates that The General Assembly
will adopt ar old age pensions law
and will need more revenue for it and
suggests that in providing for it, the
counties be called upon to bear part
of the cost of the program, due to, the
fact tEat the Estate is fast approach

"Any large additional burden should
