Receives Letters

Miss Hannah L. Batty, Sec
rotary of the Big Horn County
Farmers Union last week re-
ceived the following letters from
Senators Wheeler and Murray in
Washington, D. c.
The letters are in reference
to Senate bills 1895 and 2549
introduced in the Senate by
Burton K. Wheeler. They read
as follows:
My Dear Miss Batty:
Thank you very much for
your letter of March 4 on be-
half of the Farmers Education
al and Cooperative Union and
all the farmers of Big Horn
County. I very much appre-
ciate your having written, and
I am also glad to know that
you are supporting and urging
the enactment of the bills S.
1895 and S. 2549. 7 introduced
both of these in the Senate of
the United States because I
felt that they represented the
most practical approach to two
very serious phases of farm
problems.
I have discussed the wheat
income certificate bill with the
President of the United States
in an effort to secure Admin
~istration approval of the same.
I am hoping that it will be pos
sible to obtain early and favor
able Congressional consideration
of it.
Trusting that this legislation
will receive your continued
support, I am
Sincerely yours,
B. K. Wheeler.
Dear Miss Batty:
Thank you for your recent
communication in which you
express interest in and support
of the wheat certificate and
debt adjustment bills, S. 1895
and S. 2549.
AS you perhaps know, these
bills are embodied in the legiS-
lative recommendations of the
National Farmers Union. I have
assured its representatives who
have called at my office that
this legislative program met
with my full approval.
There is no question but that
we can never expect anything
approaching permanent pros
perity in this country until the
farmers income is established
on a parity basis and his bur-
den of interest and debt adjus-
ted. I am convinced that S.
1895 and S. 2549 are designed
to these ends and therefore you
may be sure that I shall vigor-
ouslv support their early enact
ment.
With all good wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,
James Murray.

Highway Department
Issues Report

That the reorganization of the
state highway department advocat-
ed by Gov. Jones and approved by
the east state legislature is pro-
ducing substantial results for the
benefit of taxpayers Is demon
strated by a breakdown of over
head and maintenance costs FOR
the past eight and a half months.
Over a hundred thousand dol
lars less money was required for
these two permanent items during
the period from June Is, 1889 70
February 90, 1910 over the CORE
spending period from June Is,
1888 to February 90, 1889.
General office salaries and
wages in the former period
amounted to s63S.636.39 For the
eight and a half months ending
last February 30, they totalled
S603,O1S.49, a reduction of S35-
$3.50.
Under the revamped system of
maintenance even a greater say
ing was made. Using the same
eight and a half months periods
for comparison, maintenance costs
dropped from S511. .4S7.7S to s445,-
S5406, a reduction of S65,633.72.
The achievement of a saving in
this short period of more than
500, 100000 in overhead and main
tenance through the reorganization
program, is a matter of great
satisfaction to the governors of.
flee and the state highway com
mission.
