5-Year Auto Plates
To Conserve Steel

A plan for using automobile
license plates for a five-year pc
riod in order to conserve steel for
national defense, is outlined by
Rep. John w. Gwynne Qowa) in
the Congressional Record. The
Iowa congressman estimates that
adoption of the plan would save
$50 tons of steel annually in Iowa
alone.
License plates would be kept
current by the use of small
gadget weighing Ia ounces in
stead of the average weight of
more than a pound for regular
plates. 1t is also suggested that
the federal government make a
public appeal TO owners of dis
carded plates to deliver these to
the nearest post office for mail
ing. at government expense. to
some central point i'm each state.

Brakes important

One way TO put brake on
excessive tire wear is to keep the
brakes on ones car in balance at
all times, say engineers OF Seiber-
ling Rubber Company. Tire life
is prolonged by properly balanced
brakes because OF the resultant
prevention of overbreaking on one
or two tires.

u. S.-British
Plane Output
Ahead Of Axis
OPM Expert Claims
Production increase
Rate Sets New High

Military aircraft production IN
the United States has now reached
the point where, when added TO
that of the British, il is exceed
ing the production of the Axis
powers. This statement is made
by T. P. Wright of the aircraft
branch of the Office of Production
Management, and foremost au-
{ h GRITTY on plane productionI
throughout the world.
Writing in the November issue
of Aviation magazine, Wright says
that "the rate of production in
crease for aircraft in the United
States is greater than for any
other country in the world at any
period" Furthermore, he states,
II would like TO re-emphasize the
excellence of American equipment.
1t is, considered as a whole, unsur-
passed by any other country"
Russia Balances Scales
In comparing the relative air
strength of the two contendingl
groups of powers, Wright has this
to say:
1.-THE entrance Of Russia into
the war on the side of the Allies
far more than offsets any effort
which the conquered nations
have been forced to contribute.
Therefore. In sppraising the rate
of production Of the contendiDg
powers ana the size OF their air
forces, am still of the opinion
that without counting Russia,
the rate of production of Eng
land, augmented by one-haIf of
the United States production, Is
now greater than the output Of
Germany and Italy plus the pro-
duction of conquered countries;
and that the total air power Of
the Allies will be greater than
that of the Axis powers early In
I942."
Wright points out tn a t our
United States program has been
added to several times. and we.
should attain a peak production
of well over 1900 planes per
month, by the middle of 1912.
"The point OF monthly produc-
-. a. Ill.
thereafter he says, will be de-
pendent upon the addition OF
new programs this Winter and
next Spring, but n rate Of 50.-
900 planes per year Is In sight"
Planes Get Bigger
1--WE have done a tremendous
Job during the past year and
half.' Wright declares. cit IL
really something Of which we
can be justly proud, to deliver
aircraft now at a rate four-fold
that which maintained at the
start OF our period of expansion
about Is months ago. We have
gone from approximately 500
airplanes per month during the
Summer OF 1910, to about 1000
in the Fall OF 194l, and we are
only getting started at the pres
ent time"
The Aviation article points out
that another factor of great i'm
portance in our program of plane
production is the increasing size
Of the aircraft we are producing.
We have read much of the so
called 500 four-engine-bomber per
month program, but few realize
what a tremendously increased
burden is placed on the industry
by the change in type from tacti-
cial and training planes 10
bombers.
Although in the next year we
may almost double the number of
aircraft produced per month, it
should be noted that in terms of
weight of airplanes produced-or
in terms of total horsepower of
the engines with which they are
equipped-there will be a three
to four-fod expansion required.

Fish argued.

Fish, farmers in general rely upon

Farmers own one est Of every
four trucks in the country, and
agricultural and animal products
comprise 266 per cent of all truck
loads, national surveys show. In
1910. a per cent of all trucks pro-
duced fell in the category of l-ton

phasis upon 3 ton models.

DOUGLAS
 VIEWS
ASSESSMENT VALUATION
 UP IN DOUGLASS; SEWER
 ASSESSMENT TO BE LEVIED
ASSESSMENT

Consideration of tax matters for 1 the current annum was the principal business of the Douglas City Council at the regular meeting held last night. On hand for the session was Mayor Bonner and just enough members to constitute a quorum: Councilmen Balog, Degan, Lind strom and Rustad.
 Total assessed valuation placed on taxable property in the town for the current years tax purposes is $252,- 25O, Assessor Charles Tuckett told the Council At the customary rate of 20 mills, and if the usual five per cent discount be allowed foH early payments, rcalizable revenue should be around $6,50O, or about $1,O00 more than last year.
 The proposition of levying a spec ial sewer assessment to help pay off the city's bonded indebtedness as was considered necessary or advis- able by former administrations be- came an actuality by passing un- animously the following resolution:
 Be it resolved that a special assessment be levied against all real properties at the rate of 4 cents per frontage running foot; said assess ment to apply on sewer bonded in debtedness."
 It was pointed out in the discus sion which followed that the extra taxes will be largely offset by the discount allowed from the regular assessment. July 28, 29 and 30, at 7:30 pm. are the dates set when the Board of Equalization will meet to hear complaints.
 Other business of the meeting simply consisted of discussions about prospective repairs to wharf and streets, and about the schools bud get system.
 Bills totaling $290.54 were voted paid to end the meeting.

Montana's reputation as q producer ot

livestock specialist at Montana State
college.
A considerable number Of low quail
ity heifers Of Brahama breeding and
mixed breeding have been brought into
the state from Mexico, he said. These
heifers should be spayed Immediately
upon arrival In the state so that there
viii be no possibility of contaminat-
ing the good beef lines that have been
built up through the painstaking work
of Montana stockmen, circuit said. The
spayed animals viii still make a profit
for the owner under present market
conditions II they were bought cheaplv
enough.
The long plain heads, light bone
legginess, shallow bodies, thin flesh and
varied colors indicate the poor quality
Of these imported heifers, the livestock
specialist said.
He goes on TO explain that all Mex
lean cattle are not necessarily Of In
ferior quality. Some steers Of fair
quality have been brought into the
state for fattening and no steers, of
course, offer a threat to Montana's
herds. The Mexican heifers and COWS
brought into the state recently, how
ever, are a very different proposition
They are definitely scrubby and when
brought north are ready breeders. Be-
sides the chance Of getting this poor
breeding into Montana herds, scat
tered punches Of low grade breeding
COWS may be used as price-depressing
influence, circuit said
During the last 10 years Montana
cowmen have done wonders In Inn
proving their herds, he said. After the
enforced culling Of herds during the
drouth years, only the best beef cattle
were left and in making requirements
stockmen have obtained unusually high
quality animals. AS a result the Treas
ure state today has wen earned repu-
tation as the home Of top quality beef
herds-a reputation that is worth
to keep.
