FORD OPPOSES
LEVY ON BONDS

Gov. Sam G. Ford has gone on record
as opposing bill pending In congress
which would tax income from future
issues of state and municipal bonds.
In a letter to all three members OF
Montana's congressional delegation
Gov. Ford said:
TT appears to me that the defeat of
this proposal is extremely important
to all state and local governments.
I'm support of the idea the treasury
department advances the claim that
wealthy investors now receive tax-free
income. But you viii note that the
present proposal Is not directed to out
standing issues, but covers future is
sues only.
'"To be frank. the proposal appears
to me to have no relationship what
ever to revenues for the federal
treasury, but appears to be simply q
grasping for more power by attempt
ing TO control state and local finance.
TT Is my firm conviction that this
Is not the proper time to resurrect
this highly controversial and irritating
issue, inasmuch as all state and local
governments are doing everything pos
sible to aid the prosecution OF the war.
Taxing the income from state and
municipal bonds will necessarily result
In greater interest rates on such bonds,
which must be paid by the local tax
payers or the users Of the local utili-
ties financed by such bonds"

Lecturer Says u. S.
viii Make Good Use
of Alaska in War

Alaska is the key to the Pacific, and
the United States win make excellent
use Of its strategic position in defeat
ing Japan, William Darden, Alaskan
naturalist told several hundred per-
sons at Helena recently.
Darden said he believed Japan would
be defeated and that the United States
would maintain control Of Alaska but
he pointed out that Japan could only
be defeated at home and that Alaska
furnished the best jumping off place
for the attack. He said our soldiers
stationed at Fort Lewis are closer to
Japan than are the troops in Australia.
He quoted the late Gen. Billy Nit
chell, famous advocate Of airpower,
and the late Homer Lea, military
authority, concerning Alaska's Inn
portance. Mitchell had said the Japs
would capture Alaska and march down
the coast to the United States unless
America had a strong airforce In
Alaska. Lea had said the nation which
held Alaska, Pearl Harbor and Tahiti
would rule the Pacific.
Colored motion pictures, taken by
showed various phases Of
Alaskan life, Illustrating the POSSIBLE
ity Of development there.

WARTIME FLU"
AGAIN APPEARS
IN SOME AREAS
AMERICANS CAUTIONED NOT TO
DISREGARD COLDS; TROUBLE
FOLLOWS NEGLECT

A peculiar wartime pneumonia. oh.
served in 1868, is again appearing
in various parts Of the United States
AS it usually starts under the dis
guise Of a chest cold or intestinal
FLU" Americans must take better care
than ever before Of these ailments dur
ing the coming winter, says the medi-
cal department Of Northwestern Ma
tional Life Insurance Co.
This newly resurging form Of pneu-
monia is comparatively mild In its
early stages. If promptly and properly
treated, it usually clears up without
serious trouble-unlike its better known
and deadly comrade Of old World war
days. the epidemic influenza. But if
neglected, complications set in and it
becomes as dangerous to life as any
other form of pneumonia. The bug"
which is thought responsible for it
has never been isolated but the disease
is now being widely studied and
closely watched by medical research
groups as well as by national pneu-
monia commission.
1t commonly starts without any sore
throat, high temperature, chest pains,
or other standard pneumonia warn
ings. Instead, 1t acts like or actually
develops out Of, either an ordinary
chest cold or intestinal FLU" Some
times it starts simply with extreme
weakness sudden utterly exhausted
feeling. The x-ray gives the only Ger
tain diagnosis Of this type Of pneu-
monia, which seems to be associated
with the movement of large masses Of
people.
The insurance company's warning
sums up the surest precautions for
the average person in the phrase baby |
a cold and dodge pneumonia" and |
gives directions for simple home safety |
measures. With any heavy cold, par
ticularly If in the chest, put the pa
tent to bed and keep him warm. If |
he has cough keep others away from
him, except the person caring for him,
and she should avoid getting the
patients breath in any case If fever
sh or thirsty, he can have water and
.ruit juices as desired. If there are no
stomach or abdominal pains, he can
sat lightly. If he should have sharp
)ains in the chest or a feeling of full
ness there, get a doctor as soon as
possible; meanwhile keep the patient
warm and quiet with hot water bottle
" heating pad on chest or back. DO
lot leave patient asleep on an electric
heating pad; bad burns sometimes re-
ult in this way.
Don't try to be a hero" and carry
N as usual with a heavy cold, the
warming concludes. You will get more
,ork done in the critical winter ahead
you take prompt care of a cold, even
little one.
