SILLY RULES HAMPER WAR EFFORT

A Glasgow car dealer a few weeks ago was required to
deliver a number of new machines to an army war project in
South Dakota. AS everyone knows, drivers for such work are
scarce now and it was necessary to trail some of the cars.
Everything went well until the caravan passed the border
into Wyoming when it ran smack-dab into a squadron of
that states highway patrolmen gathered to escort the governor
and other high poltcos to some function. With a zealousness
and vigor that might have been utilized better on some genu-
inc public enemy, the Wyoming cops took the whole caravan
into custody, delayed it for hours and forced the payment of
more than $50 for violation of some obscure regulation requrr-
ing licenses for cars being trahed through the sovereign state of
Wyoming.
Silly, isn't it? Speaks well for our n~eighboring states coop
Grafton in the war effort. But there n similar bottlenecks
checking the flow Of war traffic over almost all roads in the
United States. They once were annoyances; now they re major
menaces to all-out production.
Here are some more examples, quoted from a national
magazine:
A truck carrying 20, 756 pounds of fresh meat from Balt-
more to Fort Bragg, N. c., wa fined 1925 for overweight
at Woodbridge, Va. Overweight or not, trucks must wait there
two to six hours in line to be weighed. In Illinois, the axle
load limit is 10 1000 pounds and the overall length limit is IS
feet, compared to 5000 pounds and 40 feet in many other
states. Truckers carrying army shipments - loaded by the
army in sealed traHers apd shipped on government bills of lad
ing - are repeatedly stopped and fined. They cannot break

FORT PECK POWER

Comparatively few Montanans comprehend the sweeping
changes electric power from Fort Peck dam may make owe
a huge territory when peace comes. But for the immediate
future, for the duration, that power will be utilized for wal
purposes. Some day, we may hope, it will fgurahvely be
turned from cannon to plowshares. Meanwhile, we can be
sure it will be used as we all want it to be, in industries vita
to victory.
Last summer, Is a beginning was being made IN our vast
production effort, it appeared that the power project would
be abandoned. Then, through the efforts of local groups, it
wa reexamined on the basis of its need for what was then
called defense" work. Decision was reached that it would be
necessary. A contract for construction of the plant was awarded
last winter. Most of the work on turbines and generators had
then been finished.
Soon after Pearl Harbor, production entered a new phase.
Steel and other vital metals to be used in the plant became
scarce. The project did not gain immediate clearance from the
a production board. 1t was evident that the problem was
this: could the steel be better used at Fort Peck or, say, would
it be more valuable in building a destroyer or two? Finally
WPB said it would authorize for clearance part of the project.
one unit of IS 900 kilowatts instead of the total $4,000 kilo-
watts. 1t appears that this is even further a compromise, for
it will be a "streamlned' job; steel and other material required
in the original plans will be eliminated and thus will be saved
for even more critical needs.
For we people in northeastern Montana it is good to know
that Fort Peck power is to be an actuaity at last. Certainly, it
would not have come without the efforts of this and other in
terested communities. We can be glad that the army engineers
ae building it, as they are building many other projects, be-
cause it will be required for war. IF it had been better to delay
construction because of war needs. everyone would have
acquiesced without a murmur. But we can be pleased that re-
sponsible governmental leaders have reached a decision that
it is needed to help bring victory, and we can now feel secure
that when the Rising Sun is set and the swastika is a museum
piece, the humming generators will be turning out energy to
bring irrigation water to the farms and light to many rural
homes in eastern Montana.

army seals to redistribute loads. One operator serving Fort
Knox and important defense plants paid Kentucky fines totding
$l4,o5l last year. His average delay per truck was "a hours.
1t is hard to understand the attitude of many states, al
though such actions are often prompted by local ne-grabbers,
only too ready to pick up their share of fees by holding truckers
on what amount to technicalties. Such people. consciously or
not, can be ranked with other ffth-columnists.
We think it is time for state highway boards and patrol
groups to relax these regulations. Many legislative bodies are
not now in session, but certainly instructions could be issued
to ease up on enforcement and thus, in effect, remove the
legal barriers at many state lines. There is no question of state
rights involved here. There is only the question of our national
war effort and its most efficient prosecution.

Newsgrams
From United States News)

(From United States News
There's trouble ahead for ca
owners everywhere. It's not jus
trouble for the East's 10000, 900 cal
owners, but for the entire country.
10000. 900 owners
The reasons:
/. Gasoline rationing is almost
certain to become nationwide. 1t is
to be drastic. to cut out nonessen-
tial driving, to make a driving a
real privilege.
2. Requisitioning of cars, of I'M
used cars, maybe of second cars is
in the cards. 1t isn't immediate. 1t
will be limited at first. But: It's
coming.
This isn't something a planner
thought up. 1t isn't just another
idea. Rather: It's on demand of
army and navy. They're in earnest
and want action.
Here's The Trouble
The trouble simply is this:
First. Japan owns the rubber and
U. S. owns the cars that. run on
rubber.
Second, arm y navy demands for
rubber are s~kyrocketing.
Third, this country's supplies of
new rubber threaten to run out in
1943.
Fourth, U. S. synthetic rubber pro-
gram is not clicking as it should
click.
So: There's nothing to do but to
conserve the LOCO, 900 tons of rubber
in car tires, to make sure that this
rubber is used only for essential
work.
The Real Purpose
This is serious in army-navy opin-
ion, and they should know.
When gasoline raticning comes, as
it has come in the east -.
Real purpose will be to raticn car
to gear travel to bare neces-
sity.
Then: All of American life will
change. There1l be changed social
changed shopping habits;
changed vacation plans; changed
committing habits.
1t will be hard on filling stations,
on garages, On resorts, on many
amusements, on super markets, on
all businesses built around the auto
mobile.
But: Trucks will be provided with
al the gas they need. There1l be
gas to take essential workers to
work. Most businesses will find ways
get along.
The trouble is this: All of U. S. is
deeply dependent on the private
ar. 1t carried U. S. citizens 200,-
000, 900 passenger miles last year.
And: That's five times as much
transport as railroads and buses
provided together.
Cut that in half, as planned, and
he United States slows down.
Will Pay For Cars
If and when a requiSitioning
ONES later this year it will affect 49,.
Used cars that are standing idle
tires deteriorate.
Sightseeing buses and station
needed for worker transport.
Cars made idle by gas rationing
+ by lack of one or more tires.
Maybe, second cars of persons who
an show need for NJ more than
ne car.
The plan is to pay a fair price
or cars that are taken. 1t isn't in
ended to seize cars without pay
lent, or to take cars really needed
Or war transport.
All of this is the price of defeat.
Subber was the one real U. S. weak
pot and Japan hit it in a hurry.

Farmers are reporting many O.
their chicks sick with leg weakness
These chicks are from two to three
weeks of age. This disease is caused
by either the lack of manganese OF
a lack of vitamin D. We believe il
is a lack of vitamin D which is
/ causing the trouble because we can
not get cod liver oil during this wal
time and our mash rationS are lack
ing in this substance. Feeding the
chicks alfalfa leaves, green Sprouted
wheat and oats or barley, with plen-
ty of sunlight will probably correct
this trouble. Farmers Bulletin 1862,

gives the control for the lack of
manganese. We have plenty of these
