Receive Wire
From Wheeler

The following wire was re-
ceived here wednesday night
from Senator Burton K. Wheel
err:
president Roosevelt just in
formed me that he has signed
my Fort Peck power bill which
authorizes the installation of
power generating facilities at
Fort Peck dam. This Successful
ly eliminates my long fight to
develop power for the purpose
of irrigating thousands of now
non-productive acres. In my
judgement the development Of
power at Fort Peck will make
for a better economic and social
order in Montana. I am happy
t. have had a part in accom-
plishing something which will
prove of benefit not o-lv to our
people Ncy bat to future gen.
erations of MontananS. Kindest
regards, B. K. Wheeler"

Announce Winners
OF Poster Prizes
Lodge Cross. Crow
Agency Students
Win Prizes

charlotte Stanton of Crow
Agency was winner this year of
the annual Poppy Day poster
contest, sponsored by the Am
erican Legion Auxiliary here, it
was announced Wednesday.
Second went to Ben Jefferson
and Frederick Wallace of Lodge
Grass, who collaborated on a..
poster, and third went to Alvin
Stewart of Crow Agency. The
winners received cash awards.
Judges for the contest were
Mrs. Roy Chambers, Mrs. I. L.
Dehnert and Mrs. Paul Schal-
ler.
AS the time for the celebra-
ton of Poppy Day nears, the
Auxiliary, under the direction
OF MlS. Frank Morris, Poppy
chairman is rapidly completing
plans.
Additional facts regarding the
necessity for the money that
will be earned by this means
'Aere recently revealed.
More than $1,000 new names
will be on the roll of Amer
ica's dead defenders on Men,
orial Day this year, according
to figures released by the Re-
Mobilization Committee CT the
American Legion Auxiliary.
During the past year, World
War veterans have been dying
at the rate of 103 per day.
This heavy death rate among
men who served in the World
War has placed a heavy bur-
den upon the American Legion
Auxiliary and has enlarged the
need for Poppy Day contribu-
tons. The money received for
memorial peoples on Poppy Day
May 20th will form the princi-
pal ource of support for the
Auxiliary welfare activities dur
ing the year.
Almost every veteran now
dying leaves a widow and chill
dren. Unless legal proof of a
disability received in the serv-
ice has been established by the
veteran. nc government aid is
available for the widow and
children. The Legion and Auxil-
larry must step in with emer-
gency aid if the family is with
out means, and strive to keep
the home together.
For every veteran who dies,
several are stricken down with
disabilities. The government
furnishes hospital care when
ever beds are available. but 9TH
er forms of aid are restricted
and again the Legion and Aux
iliary meets the needs. Poppy
making provides employment
for the disabled men without
compensation. The Poppy Day
funds make it possible for the
Auxiliary to bring relief to
thousands of disabled veterans
and their families every year,
If everyone understood the
need there would be no one
without a Poppy on Poppy Day

Pldns To Aid Roads
Given By Committee

Two plans to raise So, 1000, 900
for road construction during the
next biennium were adopted at
an all-day meeting at Helena
saturday of the special Commit
tee of Twelve named, one from
each Montana highway district.
The plans are: To issue $3,00O,-
900 of debentureS to be paid
from gasoline tax revenues, pay
able in five years and maturing
in ten years; and to set aside
$500 900 annually from state IL
quor store profits.
The committe of twelve was
named by Chairman H. j. Kel-
ly of Kalispell of the general
committee of 81 called together
by Governor Roy E. Ayers to
lelp solve the financial tangle
that threatens to deprive the
state of So, 1000, 900 of federal aid
funds for farm to market" road
construction. To get this money
the state must match it with
So, 1000 900 of it's own raising, and
when this revenue is provided
a Sc. O0O, 900 construction and re-
pair program will go ahead Ill
conjunction with the present
planned construction program.
L. J. Onstad of Broadus was
named chairman of the special
committee and he named an in
itiative committee of three to
devise means of initiating the
proposed bills. However, the
findings of the special commit
rec will first be submitted to the
committee of 81, of which C.. G.
Quinn of Hardin is a member,
for approval. Once this is Sc
cured a statewide drive for
signatures on the bill finally
approved will be launched. SUI
ficient names must be obtained
on the initiatives and filed by
July 9Th to be voted on in No
Vember.
The special group turned
down all proposals towards in
creasing the gasoline tax one
cent. The committee recon-
lllclluCu UlldG UllC 11CAG oSSotSAA
of the state legislature be in
vited to pass a "wheelage tax,
or a ton-mile tax on motor
trucks and BUSES to help re-
plenish highway revenues.
Under the debenture plan
funds now diverted to paying
off the old debenture issue
would be diverted towards pay
ing off the new issue after
1910, when it will have been
paid off in full. The present
law provides that the gas tax
drop to three cents per gallon
when the present issue is re-
tired. The new proposal would
retain the present tax in ef-
feet until the second deben-
ture issue is paid off.
DR.. H. j. McGregor of Great
Falls was recommended by
committeeman to President
Roosevelt as a member of the
international Highway Commits
sion, to help plan the proposed
'Alaska-U. S. Highway. DR.. Nc
Greggor believes the road
should be routed through Mon
tana.
