EXPLAINS new
LIGHTING TAX
New Plun Is Explained
By City Officials
Here This Week

The City Council of Hardin
now has under consideration a
resolution dealing with a new
method of paying for the op-
Grafton of street lights on in
tersections in the residential
district.
The resolution was published
in full in last weeks issue of
the Hardin Tribune Herald, in
rather legal Technology, and
the council desires to place the
proposition before property
owners in more simple terms.
The plan would make the
method of payment for cost of
operation the same as that now
used in the downtown i'm
provement district.
There is no question, it was
pointed out, of changing the
type of lights or of putting in
new ones, unless they were
called for by petition. The
change is purely in the way of
operation and upkeep.
At present in the downtown
district, property owners are
paying rs per cent of these
costs and the remaining IS per
cent is coming from the city's
general fund.
It is felt that if such a meth
cd is introduced in the resi-
Dental sections, it will result
in a more eouitable DaVment
for the amount of light used.
Under the present set-up,
property owners pay alike for
lights, whether there is a street
lamp on both corners of the
block in which they live, or
whether there is not a light
within two or three blocks, be-
cause all expense is paid out of
the general fund of the city.
The new plan will tax all
residents in the special i'm
provement districts only Is per
cent of the total cost, this
coming out of the city general
fund, while the property own
ers most benefited will pay the
additional rs per cent.
The present condition leaves
approval of installation OF
lights entirely with the city
council. but under the new plan
a petition signed by a major
ity of the property owners would
obligate the council to install a
light. On the other hand, a pc
tition can be presented at any
time asking for the removal OF
the light. :.
The same plan of taxing is
now in use in Billings, it was
stated.
It was emphasized that the
cost per light is not increased
but only the method of col
Letting necessary costs is being
changed.

Applications Must
Be Made Next Week

Only one week remains for
Big Horn county farmers to
obtain wheat crop insurance pro-
lection, George Miller. chairman
of the county agricultural con-
servation committee, reminded
wheat growers this week.
The closing date, after which
no insurance will be issued to
growers, is September 80 or
the date on which the farmer
begins seeding, whichever is
earlier.
Mr.. Miller advised all wheat
farmers who are interested in
insuring their crops to get in
touch with a community agr1-
cultural conservation commit
teeman at once. or call at the
county AAA office.
Full information on every
wheat growers farm is on file
at the county office, and it will
take only a few minutes To
make out the application and
complete the insurance con-
tract. protecting the farmer
from all unavoidable risks to his
crop. He is then guaranteed at
IS per cent of his normal pro-
duction, regardless of what
happens before harvest.
Premium payments may be
made either in wheat or in the
cash value of wheat at mar
ket prices. Advances on benefit
payments to be earned under
the agricultural conservation
program will be made to farm
ers who request them.

SOME MAY IGN UP
UNEMPLOYMENT FARMS

According to the latest bull
letins on wheat regulations,
farmers whose combined wheat
allotment is less than 10 acres
may sign up their farm or farms
to become non-wheat-a allotment
farms.
This will give some advan-
tages over small wheat-allot-
ment EARNS in that 10 acres OF
wheat can be seeded without a
penalty, according to George
Miller, chairman of the Big
Horn county Agricultural Con-
servation association.
This should be done without
delay.

BUFFALO eleven
DOWNS BULLDOGS
Visitors Win BY Virtue
Of Touchdown In
Lost Quarter

An experienced Buffalo, Wyo.,
football team was victorious
over a game Hardin eleven here
Friday at the fairgrounds by a
score of 10 to 6.
The score was tied until less
than four minutes before the
final gun, but Graham, left half
back for the Bisons, broke away
from Hardin tacklers to cross
the goal, line. A moment later,
the extra point was kicked, Civ
ing the visitors a seven-point
margin.
A cut-back play gave the Buff
falo eleven a Six-point lead
about halfway in the first per-
iod. Graham carried the ball
from the 48-yard line to score.
The attempt at extra point
failed.
Hardin's only tally came in
the third quarter on a pass in
tercepted by Bob Kenyon on the
Bison's 49-yard line. An at
tempted place kick for extra
point was blocked.
Though Buffalo outclassed
the Bulldogs in almost every
department of the game the To-
cal eleven showed plenty of
fighting spirit, and several
times repulsed serious scoring
threats.
The whole line PLAYED a COM
mendable game. especially in
view of the fact that they we're
outweighed 10 pounds to the
man.
Bob Kenyon's work in the
backfield was outstanding for
Hardin, while Graham appeared
as key man in the Bison's at
tack. Terrence and Perry look
ed good in the visitors line.

Tom Davis reported this week
that he had found an old Smith
and Wesson revolver on the
Spear lease on Tullock creek.
The sixshooter, fully loaded,
was rusted and corrOded from
years of exposure. The side
grips of the gun were rotted
away, but on the butt of the
gun was engraved the name of
D. C. O'Conner and dated 1871.
Efforts may be made to see
if it belonged to a government
scout through the War Depart
ment in Washington.

JUSTICE H. A.
JOHNSON SPEAKS
Montana Chief Justice
Discusses Constitution
With Kiwonions

Howard "A. Johnson, chief JUS
tice of the Montana supreme
court, was the speaker and guest
of honor at the regular meet
ing of the KiwaniS club here
Wednesday noon.
His talk dealt with the Ameri-
can way of life as guaranteed
by the constitution.
He also spoke to the student
body of the high school here in
the afternoon.
Justice johnson emphasized
that "the first right of every
American is to be free from
fear" He said it is essential
to this freedom from fear that
the right of the majority to
govern and the right of the in
dividual to certain inalienable
rights, even against the ma
jority, be established and main
tanned.
1.-THE division of the govern
ment into legislative, execu-
tive and judicial branches under
our constitution is a safeguard
of this guarantee of liberty and
freedom from fear, but the
people did not think this was
enough, so they added the bill
of rights in the form of the
first 10 amendments to the
constitution" the speaker said.
I'm this way, even if the three
separate branches of govern
ment were combined, the peo-
pie were assured their freedom
and safety.
I'm 1900, Sir Walter Raleigh
said, wise men should not set
tie where men have more au.
thority than law The proof of
his own assertion came two
years later when he was be-
headed for having ~displeaSed
queen Elizabeth" the chief JUS
tice added. And it was Ben
jamin Franklin who, at the
time of the constitutional con-
vention said, they that give
up liberty to gain a little tenn
porary safety deserve neither
liberty nor safety"
The speaker said that dicta-
tors are promising safety to
their peoples for giving up lib
erty, but in the end, they have
neither.
Concluding his remarks, Mr.:
johnson said, In talking OF
Americanism, we merely mean
the American way OF Life
through the constitution and
the preservation of political lib
ertY."
Guests of the Hardin Kiwan-
is club for the occasion includ-
ed Carl Adams, a Kiwanlan
form Sidney, Mont; A. L.. Frost,
S. P. Louk, DR.. Paul c. F.

Narrow Escape
From Falling Snog

The Dave Foster family met with
a peculiar situation last Sunday in
the Flathead lake region where
they had driven for an outing.
Mr.. Foster said he had driven to
a spot adjacent to the lake where
they intended to eat a picnic lunch.
He stopped the car and Mrs. Foster
and one daughter Immediately got
out of the back seat and were a
short distance from the car. Mr..
Foster was in the act of getting out
of the front seat when he heard a
crack and looking up saw a large
snag breaking from one of the tall
nearby trees. Before he could
move the car the snag had crashed
down and had fallen across the
right hand rear corner of the car.
II fell with such force that it dented
the steel top in several places and
had any of the party been in the
way they might have been seriously
injured
Mr. Foster believes nature had ii
in for him due to the fact that he
picked a forbidden spot in which to
park A bit of the freak mishap may
be blamed to fate

Hopes To Organize
5O-Piece Band

A fifty piece beginners band is
the ambitious goal of Bandmaster
Wayne kemper in his intensive cam
paign to reorganize and make per-
manent the instrumental music pro-
gram in the public schools of Libby.
1T is not impossible to achieve
this end, ;" comments Mr.. Kenper.
We have completed negotiations
with Chicago firm to rent to the
students moderately priced instru-
ments at low rate. The rental
plan will be fully explained at a
band demonstration to be held at
the high school Friday, October S.
Rhythm and pitch tests are to be
given to all students to determine
their musical talent, Those who
pass these tests will be put on the
recommended list and letters mailed
to their parents asking that serious
thought be given to the musical
training of their children.
The tests are given for the pur-
pose of more careful selection of
boys and girls best adapted to the
various instruments. The tests are
scientific and are the best available
at this time.
Another important fact is that of
the financial burden for
parents. This special plan will be
explained fully to parents who at
tend the demonstration October 5.

Power
Needed By
Glacier Co.
Energy Generating Creek
Nearly Dry-Electric Mule
To Speed Haulage.
ASSESSMENTS ARE
NOW PAYABLE

The directors of the Glacier Sill
yer Lead Mining company recently
were faced with the problem of
slowing up production and missing
the higher metal prices or of levying
an assessment to rush the work. In
time of necessity it was decided to
proclaim an assessment of one-half
cent share effective now and pay
able on or before November Is to
Secretary F. w Kiesling at Spokane.
The reason for this assessment is
explained by the fact that Charles
H. Goodsell, engineer, estimated
10000 tons of positive, probable
and possible ore in the mine south
of town. The mill has been recon-
ditioned, the flow sheet of the mill
revised to economic power and the
plant and milling can be resumed
on brief notice. With prices of
metals risen this seems to be the
time to start
The one trouble lies in the fact
operates the hydroelectric plant, has
dWindled to a trickle, the result
Of changing climatic conditions. In
order to become a continuous oper-
ator the stream can not be relied
upon, therefore the only alternative
IS the purchase of an auxiliary Die
sci power plant.
Equipment is needed for hauling
IRE Though the No 4 tunnel to the
mill, nearly mile. If horses are
lsed there will be required, also
more ore cars and two extra tram
ners, all of which would increase
he cost of operation. The extra
expense may be eliminated with a
storage battery locomotive which
should be paid for with its savings
n two years. Two more Stopping
irills and a sinker are needed also.
