Pink May Day
Local Front All Quiet;
in Red Russia. .?

This is May Day-Halloween of
the radicals.
The Communists will turn out
to display the might of their arms
and howl for the Red revolution
which will destroy capitalism.
That is they will in Russia.
In Detroit this is May l which
happens to fall on a Thursday
and from all that can be learned
the Communists will just sit
around drinking pink lemonade
and think peevish things about the
country that feeds them.

BLACK WARNS
LENDERS AGAINST
SPECULATION

A program to prevent speculative
boom in farm real estate was outlined
to a group of leading farm mortgage
lenders of the country on September
26 by A. G. Black, governor of the
Farm Credit Administration. More
than a hundred institutions and in
surance companies writing about IS
percent of the mortgage loans made
to farmers were represented at the
conference called by Governor Black
Experience tells us that a major
war inevitably brings about violent
price fluctuations" Governor Black
warned the conference in his opening
message. He drew upon the record
of the last land boom to remind his
listeners that these fluctuations in
turn create serious problems in the
field of agricultural credit
1--WE would be derelict in our re-
sponsibility," Governor Black told the
lenders, "if we did not endeavor to
anticipate those problems and take
measures to soften their effect before
it is too late" Adherence to a pro-
gram of lending on the basis of nor
NAL farm values, encouragement of
speculative expansion in farm plant
as we'll as production, and the en-
enlargement of the more rapid re-
duction of debt out of current incomes
were among the measures urged by
Governor Black as necessary in deal
ing with present problems.
Farmers, through their co-opera-
tive associations, their farm organiza-
tions, and through programs worked
out comparatively with their govern
ment," Governor Black declared, "are
seeking to build nation of efficient
family type farms operated by their
owners. Through this program of
common action major adjustments
are today being worked out on the
farms of America, which means a
stronger and sounder agriculture.
With the aid of the department of
agriculture, through such agencies as
the Farm Credit Administration, the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton, the Soil Conservation Service,
and the Farm Security Administra-
ton, the farmer is moving forward,
better able to meet his own prob
lens"

Opinion: Held: When a school dis
trict has provided for transportation
and set up budget therefor and the
county commissioners have levied
taxes for the necessary transporta-
ton, expense warrants may be issued
in anticipation of moneys from the
uncollected taxes.
Questions: "You have submitted to
this office the following question:
Where school trustees have made con-
tracts with individuals to transport
school children of the district and
where the contract provides that the

FIRE LOSSES UP IN 1910

Montana fire losses in 1910 totaled
81, $780, 6S.61, a per capita loss of S2.07,
or about $3S0,000 more than the pre-
vious year. A. c. Parsons, state fire
marshal reports.
The marshal urged greater caution
by Montanans this year to cut down
the total. The 1910 total of fires
was 874, compared with $50 in 1889
but deaths from fire dropped from
So in 1889 to A in 1910.
Damage and destruction of build
ings by fire accounted for 1884, 201.92,
while loss Of contents amounted to
$376, 466.69.

MUM on liability insurance covering

porting such school children
Question: You have submitted the
following questions for my opinion:
1. Can the State Fish and Game
Commission authorize expenditures of
state funds now set aside for the pur
pose of making certain adjustments
to food and cover and/or other minor
improvements such as fencing and/or
ordering areas closed to hunting and
related work on:
a. Lands owned by the Federal gov
eminent not at the present time i'm
proved?
b. Lands owned by the Federal gov
eminent but with certain improve
ments such as fencing, dams, dykes,
temporary buildings or other improve
ments of minor or temporary nature?
C. Lands now held in private owner
ships within the borders of the state?
2. Can the Fish and Game Commits
sion authorize the expenditure of reg
ular department funds on lands held
in ownership by the Federal govern
ment?
Opinion: Held: The State Fish and
Game Commission may authorize ex-
penditures of state funds set aside
for the purpose of creating and estab-
fishing projects to be furthered by the
United States government under the
Pittman-Robertson act on lands owned
/ by the federal government, private
or state lands but in SO doing, it
must be understood that the Fish and
Game Commission shall have no pow
er to accept benefits unless the prof.
ects created or established shall
wholly and permanently belong to
| the state of Montana, and that the
, title to all lands acquired or projects
created from lands acquired by deed
or gift shall vest in, be and remain
in the state of Montana and shall be
operated and maintained by it in &C.
cordance with the laws of the state
of Montana.
Question: you have asked whether
or not the county clerk may charge
School District No. s ofyour county
five cents per name for preparing the
list of registered voters for the school
district on holding an election to
make an extra levy"
Opinion: Held: A county clerk may
not charge school district of the
second or third class for poll books
or lists of electors in connection with
the holding of an election to make
an extra levy.
Question: Certain high school pu-
pills living in a certain county have
previously attended high school in an
other county where they do not re-
side. There is no high school in the
school district in which the pupils re-
side in the first mentioned county
Should the school district where the
pupils reside pay transportation for
the pupils attending high school out
side the county where they reside?''
Opinion: Held: When a board of
school trustees has determined to
furnish transportation and sets up a
budget therefor, transportation must
be furnished to all eligible pupils in
