Montana motorists, mojority OF

would be hit hard II Congress
adopts the proposal before it to in

son, Secretary, Montana Petroleum

keting and to take the children to
school. Gasoline makes great con-
tributions to the economic and So
cial welfare OF families with mod
ern incomes, elevating considerably
their standards OF living at small
expense.
Motor fuel ranks with food,
housing and clothing in the lives
of American families. Sound taxa
ton policies demand that undue
burdens are not placed upon the
table, the roof, the raiment or the
transportation Of the families with
modest and low incomes in the
United States continued Mr.. Ste
venson.
TT is important that sound taxa
ton policies should prevail in this
country during the coming difficult
years. Motor fuel the country over
is carrying a heavy burden Of fed
eral and state taxation. No other
commodities, except luxuries, are
subjected to such heavy taxation
Instead of increasing the load or
this commodity, efforts should be
made to distribute the present bur
den more equitably."

Prison Rodeo Is

Nine-Year-Old 'Outsider' l.
Feature of Texas
Exhibition,

HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS.-He's just
a little fellow nine years old, riding
a horse as tiny as he is, but he's
the only outsider" ever to appear
in the Huntsville prison rodeo-
called the widest" show on earth.
He's Wayne McGill of Kilgore,
Texas, a fourth grader who weighs
81 pounds and is small for his
age. His pony is Rukus, Shetland
43 inches high and seven years old.
Together they're just a small size
act, but they've cut big picture in
rodeos from California to Texas. The
pair has performed with movie stars
at North Ridge, Calf, and last year
added the Huntsville prison show to
appearances at the Stamford, Texas,
Trail Drivers Reunion and to ro-
deos at Coleman, San Angelo and
Houston.
At Huntsville, Wayne, who has
been riding since he was two, roped
. cali in u seconds-fair time for
youngstcr and better than that
chalked up by some Of the prison
inmates who risked their lives for
the cigarette money they got for
participating.
Called Toughest Rodco.'
The rodeo is staged as rehabili-
tation project for prisoners and to
raise money for athletic equipment,
vocational training, text books and
library volumes. It attracts 10000
spectators-the majority Of them
residents Of southeast Texas drawn
by 1.-THE toughest, toughest, widest

In specially built stadium just
outside of the prison walls, the con-
victs take part in events barred
from professional rodeos as too

year just for the chance OF risking
! their lives on the back OF some
mean Brahma bull.
Any prisoner is eligible to COM
pete. All riders, whether they win
or lose, get $-smau recompense
for the risks they take. But some
OF them have competed yearly since
| the rodeo was begun 10 years ago
and others have been known to ask
for ahead-o{-schedule commitments
to the prison farm so that they could
compete.
