AIRLINE IN
STATE ASKED
BY NWA HEAD
Hunter Proposes Linking Fargo
and Spokane in Route
Thru Glasgow
Proper Development" of Vast
Territory Requires
New Services

Outlining the aims of Northwest
Airlines in seeking additional routes
which would include service to Glas-
gov, Croil Hunter, NWA president
and general manager, testified at a
civil aeronauticS board hearing in
Dss MoineS Friday that proper de-
velopment of this area requires the
availability to adequate air service.
The company is asking for author
ity 70 fly from Fargo, N. D., to
Spokane, Wash, via Grand Forks,
Devils Lake, Minot and Williston, N.
D., Glasgow, Havre, Great Falls, Cut
Bank-Shelby and Kalispell, Mont.
Hunter testified that Northwest
Airlines is prepared to give this city
air service along this route, connect
ing with the ~company's main trans
continental line, linking all the
major cities in the northern group
of states between Seattle Tacoma,
Portland and New York.
Northwest Airlines' program for
expansion" he said, has been prim-
arily designed to serve properly the
northwest area. Northwest has con-
fined its domestic expansion pro-
gram to those routes which will i'm
prove its service and contribute to
the proper development OF the ter
ritory in which it has pioneered"
Re said the route, which includes
stops at Glasgow, will provide serv-
ice 10 these communities which are
separated by substantial distances
and serve large trade areas, and be-
tween which there is a substantial
community of interest"
Need for the proposed route was
also emphasized in testimony given
by : l. Whyatt, NWA vice presi-
dent and treasurer; K. r. Ferguson,
vice president in charge OF opera
lions. and H. c. Undertake, NWA
economist.
Tmberlake testified that further
development of the economy OF the
territory between the Great Lakes
and the Pacific northwest required
access by air to industrial centers OF
the east. He said Northwest's pro-
posed route would link the centers.
Undertake testified that North
Dakota and Montana towns were
isolated commercially from natural
trading centers because surface
transportation was slow. The chance
for these towns to develop in the
postwar era will depend largely on
the availability of air routes, he
added. -.
In my opinion there is no doubt
that access by air to the industrial
centers of the east is one OF the
haesc ranuisiteS for DEVELOPMENT OF
the vast territory between the Great
Lakes and the Pacific northwest,
Undertake said.

Charles r. Dawley Of Great Falls,
who is home on rotation leave.
The most recent. according to
news dispatches, has been in the
Phil. ppine island of Palawan and at
the nearby port of Zamboanga on
Mindanao. Colonel Dawley left with
the l63rd when it went overseas to
Australia early in 1912.
He is proud of its record-not an
officer or man ever faltered in

April
Deadline on
State Tax

Lie LlCOIHe LAX llllUB peTlOu Is
rapidly drawing to a close. TaXpay-
ers must file their returns with the
state board of equalization by April
Is, if penalties are to be avoided.
Taxpayers who have not filed their
returns are urged to complete them
and mail them to the Helena office
at once together with remittance
covering the tax due.
The most frequent error in returns
thus far filed with the board is the
deduction of medical expense. states
l.. G. Burns, supervisor of the state
income tax department. Medical eX-
pense deduction is a new feature in
the federal law which is not con-
tanned in the state law. Medical X
penses or medical insurance prem
iums should not be deducted in state
returns.
There has been no change in the
state law in calculating profits on
the sale of livestock. The new change
in the federal law which treats live
stock as a capital asset subject to
depreciation and the long and short
term holding period is not applic-
able to state returns. Profits on live
stock are 100 percent taxable and
losses are one hundred percent de-
ductible.
The board finds many returns
prepared on the basis of bank de-
posts and Withdrawals. BY expert
ence it has been discovered in some
cases that all the income has not
been deposited. The net income in
these cases is distorted. Taxpayers
are urged to follow the income tax
form as closely as possible.
The tax rates, personal exemp-
lions and credit for dependents are
the same as former years. The tax
is one percent on the first $4,000, two
percent on the next $1,000, three per-
cent on the next $4,000 and four per-
cent on all that remains.
The credit for husband and wife
is $4,000, for a single person 81 900
and $500 for each child under 10.

day in the Senate, the members of the House who showed an inclination to discuss personalities rather than the merits of bills could be blamed for the late introduction of these in the House and their death Earlier bills, which just valuable to the laborng man as the substitute measures which came up late in the session tranpled under in the House because the Governors House did not like Commissioner of Labor Walter Sharpe and did not wish him to receive any credit for labor measures. Labor gained as much in this session any other element of society and probably more But the fact remains-a hate campaign against the Commissioner of Labor was responsible for the failure of labor to make further gains.
 We would not consider anything the House was responsible for this session epoch making as the Governor termed it.
 We dread the thought that the House of Repre- senatives lack of independence and tendency to take orders from the executive branch is the beginning of a new era in Alaskan government Because if 1t is the legislative assembly which Congress granted to Alaska in 1913 might just well be abolished for expedency and economy.
 The Seventeenth Legislature also noted for it's -handedness with the peoples money in setting up numerous new and expensive bureaus or commissions and we certainly hope that this is not the beginning of

Calling Names
Washington Post)

There have been some extremely harsh observa- tons in the Soviet press of late about number of reputable American citizens. On Sunday Pravda denounced William L. Green, Matthew Woll and Wl- liam L. Hutcheson as "reactionary leaders of the American Federation of Labor" week earlier the same newspaper referred to Representative OKonski of Wisconsin Fascist and said that From the tribune of the House of Representatives he spoke like Cioebbels" Eddie Rckenbacker, w. L. White and the late Wendell Willke among others who nave hao similar compliments paid to them in the more or less recent past
 We do not of course, contest the right of Russian editorial writers hold and to express, such opinions about prominent Americans There has indeed, been considerable provocaton for the ntemperance of the Russians For example Mir OKonski's observation that the decision respecting Polish boundaries at Yalta will go down the most ghastly crime Of all the ages known to man beast" was scarcely cal culated to be considered soothing in Moscow.
 All the same, we do not know what Pravda expects to gain bv answering such gibes in kind The answer in Mir OKonski's case, could scarcely have been intended to mobilize the opinion of Russian readers which from all can learn, is already fairly well developed on the Polish question: But if it's purpose was to influence the thinking of Americans then it probably fell wide of the mark, indeed. However yehe1nently we may criticize one another, we tend as people-and so for that matter, do the Russians to rally to the defense of any one of us who IS assailed from the outside.
 Moreover we have come to entertain healthy disrust for the careless employment of such ephets as fascist" It is bad enough when irresponsible individuals engage in this sort of lnvectlve when It is done by newspapers which are, in the Soviet Union recognized organs of the government the effect is far from conducive to international good feeling Perhaps the editors of Pravda need to learn the first law of public relations-that answer at all turneth away both wrath and unfavorabe publicity.

SEVENTEENTH LEGISLATURE

Only what happens during the next two years will show whether the members of the Seventeenth Session of the Territorial Legislature did good job or a poor job
 The Governor highly praises the work of the House of Representatives which is only natural since that body worked well for the Governor in attempting to carry out all of his proposals and killing those which he did not want.
 But at the same time, the majority of the mem- bers of the House in their zeal for taxing the canned salmon industry out of business must take the re- sponsbility for allowing Senate tax bill which would have brought to the Territory minimum of $50O000 during the next two years fly out the window.
 The House had previously tested the thoughts of the members of the Senate to their proposed tax program for the canned salmon industry in a bill which contained the recommendations of the Gov ernor The Senate thought this bill unreasonable and refused to pass it. Later the Senate passed a bill calling for about $500000 in additional taxes from the industry The House amended this bill to incorporate into it the features of the earlier measure which objectionable to the Senate.
 Naturally the Senate followed it's previous course of action and would not accept the House amend ments as most members of the House probably knew when they voted these amendments in This was the way the House killed this tax measure.
 The same scheme used by the majority mem bers of the House other bills To kill bill designed to call for a referendum on blanket primary and for the election of national committeeman, the House tackled in a referendum on fish traps which the majority members of the House knew the Senate had killed earlier in a separate bill
 As for the labor" bills which died the last
