HFLENA-Gov. Sam c. Ford, in
his annual message to the 28th
legislature Tuesday, called for a
broad program of legislation en-
comprising his state reorganization
plan and laying the groundwork for
postwar rehabilitation.
Incorporating by reference the
complete 132-page report of the re-
organization committee previously
handed TO the lawmakers, along
with numerous other recommended
tons, the governors biennial mes
sage forecast one of the busiest
sessions in recent Montana history.

900 at the end of the present fis-
cal year-the governor saw no need
for new or additional taxes.
Need Fund Reservoir
He avoided mention of possible
reductions in state taxes, but de-
clared:
THE balance in our general fund
is favorable. but is only a fraction
of the amount that will be required
to meet the postwar situation. If
we are to be able to solve the many
perplexing problems with which we
will be confronted, it is necessary
that We accumulate a backlog or
reservoir to provide the funds nee
eSsary to properly meet tile recon-
Struction period"

plan may be prepared" The com.
2 mission, for which he asked al
adequate appropriation" would

/ Recommendations in Brief
} Other recommendations by the
governor follow in brief:
l. That a section of the 1885 laws
providing for ceiling rates on land
leased by the state be repealed.
2. That state laws relating 10 the
collection of the gasoline tax and
refunds be frightened up to pre-
vent possible black market opera
lions.

Estate armory) board at the earli-
est possible date and the state ar
mory board be eliminated and the
corporation dissolved"
4. That legislation be enacted to
protect the voting franchise of men
and women in the service. Present
absentee voting laws were said to
be inadequate to meet existing
conditions.
Favors Hitler Bill Repeal
5. That the so-called Hitler bill"
empowering the governor to hire
and fire state employees at will be
repealed in favor of suitable laws
providing for the appointment of
employees"
6. That a law be enacted for rigid
examination of applicants for driv-
ers' licenses.
7. That old age, orphans and
blind aid be increased commensur-
ate with the higher cost of living.
8. That the state planning board

propriation-neglected for the past
four years - to make such related

cial support for higher education

handicapped in meeting their re-
sponsibilities" in the past. He also
argued against the economy of al
the physical plant of the
Greater University of Montana to
become run down.
The governor review the states
insurance program, pointing to a
in the rate from rs cents
per hundred to 47.6 cents through
elimination of policies on old build

program, he said, has saved the
state SIS 900.
THE state water conservation
the governor declared, "has
on an extensive water con-
Servation program. Many projects
have been completed, but to fully
Utilize present projects canals must
be extended and the distribution s
generally enlarged. ]
when completed, these improve
nents will place $4,000 acres Of fer {
lie lands under irrigation, thereby '
increasing u contribution
o the war effort. In most cases {
hese improvements can be made ,
Without the use of any critical war S
materials.

To Construct Dam
For Bass Rearing

The use of a rearing pond for bass
along the edge of Deep Greek Lake,
at McHenry, has been approved by
the State Game and Inland Fish COM
mission, and permission has been OBJ
tanned for the construction of con-
crete dam from the Pennsylvania
Electric company and the State
Roads Commission, it was announced
this week by Senator Bernard l.
Gender.
Mr.. Gender said the dam would i'm
pound eight or nine acres of water
and would be used to rear bass for a
certain period until they were large
enough to be released in the lake
proper.
The dam is to be constructed on the
west side of route 219, near where
the culvert comes under the highway
The cost of the dam, which is eX.
expected to be in the neighborhood OF
500, is to be borne by the Fish Com.
mission.

To Discuss Postwar
Farm Program Tonight

Development of plans for a Post
war farm program will take place
when a group of local farm people
hold County Agricultural confer
ence at the William-James Hotel in
Oakland, this evening, September so,
at o'clock.
This group will pool ideas, ex-
change views, and suggest programs
both for postwar and immediate
action in matters vital to local agri-
culture, L. O. Brumback, represen-
tative of Southern States Coopera-
tive, explained. AS for the present
farm situation, the shortage of many
essential production supplies and the
shortage of labor on farms, in feed
mills, in fertilizer and other plants,
and many Embellishments present a
real challenge to the farmer. In re-
gard to the future, there is no ques-
ton that the postwar period will
bring with it numerous changes and
many new problems, and the sooner
the farmer starts planning ways of
coping with them the better position
will he find himself in when the war
ends, he stated.

Deer Hunters May
Use Pumpkin Ball
Recent Ruling On Muzzle Energy
OF Cartridge Applies Only
To Rifles

To clear up a misunderstanding
which some hunters have of the
recent ruling that it was unlawful to
hunt or shoot at any deer with rifle
using a cartridge giving muzzle
energy of less than 1900 foot pounds,
an official Interpretation was OBJ
tanned from f. Lee LeCompte, state
game warden, by Senator Bernard |.

The letter to Mr.. Gender declares
that the law does not prohibit the use
of the pumpkin ball, used by many
Garrett county hunters during the
deer season. The ruling applies only
to rifles and list of the rifles per

An order for an appeal to the court
of appeals from a decision entered in

Hanilton's Dairy
To End Deliveries

Hamilton's Dairy, Garrett county's
largest, is disseminating deliveries Of
milk to Oakland on October l, due to
shortage of labor, it has been an
nounced by w. H. Hamilton, manager.
The dairy, located at Red House,
has been retailing milk since March,
1880, the first route established being
to Rowlesburg, w. Va. The route to
Oakland was established in 1886 and
the communities of Thomas, Davis,
Gormania and Bayard are also served.
Mr.. Hamilton said they had been
distributing in excess of 600 quarts
daily to the various communities and
that at the present time they were
milking rs COWS and that they had,
with the COWS, more than 100 head
of dairy cattle.
He pointed out that it requires con-
siderable labor to do the necessary
work around the dairy and that since
experienced labor is practically unob-
tainable they were having to cut down
their operating territory.
The dairy will continue to deliver
milk to Rowlesburg, Gormania and
Bayard, but will cease deliveries at
Thomas and Davis, as we'll as at Oak
land.
Mr.. Hamilton said he felt that the
diaries in this area could absorb the
customers here, while at the three
places where deliveries will still
be made, the people had no other
source of supply. Approximately so
gallons of milk were delivered in Oak
land daily by the Red House firm.
