There are two distinct schools of
thought with reference to the con-
troll of initiation One school favors
establishing price ceilings, enforced
by fines and penalties The other
advocates making use Of economic
forces by increasing production of
goods and controlling purchasing
power. The former is based on an
economy of scarcity and requires a
huge army of enforcement agents.
The latter is based on an economy
of abundance and is largely self
enforcing. The former is bureau
cracy at the height of its glory. The
latter is decentralized approach to
tough problem. The passage and
veto of the Bankhead Bill is the re-
suit of a clash between these Two
groups.
The President first attempted to
prevent initiation by the price cell
ing method. A number of reasons
contributed to the failure, but two
are outstanding. First, he tried to
control prices without controlling
labor, although everyone knew 1t
couldn't work. Second, the price
ceilings strangled production, as
they have always done wherever
tried.
When the program failed the
President called for more power.
Then Congress took a hand 1t
realized that the President was try
ing to do an impossible thing, some
thing that had been tried many
times and had always failed. 1t
recognized that the basic cause of
initiation is the pressure Of increased
income on decreasing supplies, and
that the price ceiling method was
reducing the supplies and protect
ing a fast increasing income. In
other words, it was essentially in
flationary.
Congress Favors Abundance
Congress determined that we
should adopt the abundant method
of attack and wrote into the Price
Control Act of October End GER
tain limitations designed to protect
the nation against food shortage.
They first attempted to assure
farmers production costs by plac-
ing certain limits on ceilings. Since
the existing parity formula (Which
was used) is completely cockeyed
it was recognized that the limits
established were far from effective
on many commodities-mer an
expression of intent-so a very del
mite mandate was written into the
Act to prevent abuse The Act pro-
vided that modification shall be
made in maximum prices in
any case where it appears that such
modification is necessary to increase
the production of such commodity
for war purposes or where /. the
maximum prices will not reflect
/. increased costs.
Immediately upon passage Of this
Act the President issued an execu-
tive order which ignored these two
mandates and stuck to the origina
impossible price ceiling method. L
has failed again, and will continue Il

Large Sum Will Be Needed

The unanimous opinion is that
nearly all of Montana's highways
will have to be reconstructed at
the conclusion of the war. Reeve
nue. from the present gas tax is
hardly enough to keep the high
ways in repair. In fact, the high
ways are deteriorating badly. The
result undoubtedly will be that a
huge sum will need to be expended
by the state in repair and recon
struction of highways after the war.
The extra gas tax of 2l2 cents per
gallon will be used to retire 3d.
100000 worth of bonds but the pro-
visions of the proposed law pro-
vide that none of this money shall
be expended or the bonds sold until
after the war.
BY agreement with the Federal
government, Montana must bear
the total cost of maintenance on all
highways constructed with the aid
of Federal funds This requires
about $2,5OO,OOO annually The pres
ent income from the 5 cents gas tax
barely meets that obligation, leav-
ing nothing with which to match
Federal funds
By JJttfffe 80 80 Of this year there will
be S5,000,000 of Federal funds al
lotted to Montana that will be IN
danger of reverting to the Federal
government and assigned to some
other state if Montana is unable to
match that sum ON rs and rs per
cent basis, the states share being
Is per cent. Similar large sums
are in danger of being lost to Mon
tana's highways if the state is UNI
able to match Federal funds at the
conclusion of the war This pro-
posal to sell bonds in the amount of
$8,000,000 at the conclusion of the
war is to place the state in posi-
ton to take advantage of whatever
Federal funds will be available at
that time.
The proposed additional 21s cents
per gallon tax will be collected
tuniy against gas used on the high
ways.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2. = A
smooth-operating band of college
stars brought the East its first
football triumph over the West in
five years here yesterday, edging
out the Westerners Is to IL in a
spine -tingling charity game before
$4,000.
Two great opposing passers, Co.
lumbia's Paul Governals for the
East and Washington States Bob
Kennedy for the West, turned in
handsome jobs. Governals tossed
one touchdown pass and paved the
way for another score. Kennedy,
passing fiercely all afternoon,
scored on a lateral and passed a
long one later that set up his
teams second tally
Failures at try for points gave
the East the advantage.

'HELLzAp0ppIN''
Is MAKING HIT AT
CAPITOL THEATRE
Two Comedians Uneork
New Stuff with Aid Of
Excellent Cast

Fun's fun, but a person can't
laugh all the time!
That's the reason Olsen an d
johnson insisted on at least one
sequence in their picture, "Hellza-
poppin," where guns don't shoot,
animals don't run riot over the
set and where stooges are not SUBJ
jected to various pranks.
The picture, a Mayfair Produc-
ton presented by Universal, is
currently playing at the Capitol
Theatre. The one rare moment of
quiet in "Hellzapoppin' is a water
ballet which takes place in n e
swimming pool of a lavish garden
set, said to have cost cool $45, 900.
Olive Hatch, former Olympic and
AA.U. champion, created the spec
tacular and beautiful formations,
using two-score of Hollywood s
most curvaceous bathing beauties.
Buttressing the comedy of Olsen
and johnson are Martha Raye,
Hugh Herbert and Mischa Auer
who abandon all restraint and cut
loose to have the time of their
lives. An appealing romance is pro-
vided by pretty Jane Frazee and
Robert Paige, which serves as a
humane breathing spell to save
the laughter-stricken audience from
possible prostration.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2. The

Tulsa yesterday before an estimat-

to a fast start and staged blaz-

the game except for last minute
pass interception by Tennessee's
end, Jim Powell. The final score
was Tennessee IA, Tulsa 7.
The game was case of too
much Tennessee as the Volunteers
came from behind to score a
touchdown and safety in the third
period and again for six points in
the final period.
Bobby Offers, tall back, and
Walter Slater, alternate, were Ten
nessee's standouts and for Okla
homa's Tulsas, all-American Glen
