Gentlemen:
The Montana Standard of June 18th
sets out the ALLEGATION of highway
moneys as planned by the highway
engineers.
This ALLEGATION indicates, to my
mind, that it is partially unfair and
that the actual money allotted to the
Irrespective counties will not be spent
to the best advantage, as far as Beav-
erhead county is concerned. AS to
the unfairness, first:
The allotment gives Gallatin coun-
ty $835,176; Pondera county $503,820;
Lewis and Clark $376,272; Chouteau
$504,144; Cascade S683,295; Flathead
$451,719; Carbon $492,057; Blaine
1891, 1888; Lake $436,69S; Fergus $751;
III; but Beaverhead only $363,369.
Beaverhead is the largest county in
the state. Beaverhead is a tremen-
dous livestock producing county; it's
people pay far larger average state
income taxes than the people of most
other counties. The allotment of such
a small amount for Beaverhead coun-
ty is entirely unfair.
If the Standard figures are correct,
then the work to be done inside of
Beaverhead county is not to the best
advantage of the county. Here are
the figures from the Standard:
Dillon Rutte S102 nm .
Dillon-Idaho boundary - $4,000
Wisdom-Divide -.----------...-. $4,000
Dillon-Butte ...--........-...-.. 315,000
The figures quoted from the Stand
ard are not readily adjustable to each
other, but whatever may be the right
figures, $4,000 from Wisdom to Di-
vide will not make a permanent, all
season road If the figures Dillon
Butte $315,000 should prove correct,
that is certainly a poor method of
spending state funds. 1t would be far
better to spend all of the money al
lotted to Beaverhead county on the
road from Dillon across Grasshopper
Creek and by Jackson to Wisdom and |
from there to Divide than spending
any part of the money on the road |
from Dillon to Butte
At least, if the object is to benefit
the ranch population of Beaverhead |
county, and not the highway Travelled |
chiefly by the through trucks, many
Of which move on petroleum engines
and pay no gasoline tax at all; how
ever, it would not be as convenient
'or the young workers to spend the
nights in comfortable quarters in the
titles if all of the work were done
between Wisdom and Divide and be-
ween Wisdom and Dillon via Jack
ion.
Cordially yours,

STREAMLINING CONGRESS

I0UR NATIONAL law-making agency, Congress
is the heart Of our democracy In emergencies
is well as in normal times, look to Congress tC
promote the general welfare and to conserve the
Institutions and traditions of the United States
Should there be unwise action or assumption of
power by the other two branches of the govern
nent, Congress can provide the remedy. Especial
lly in the stress of a great world war, when ex-
ltraordlnary wartime powers are given to the Chief
Executive it is to Congress we look for the main
tenance OF democratic institutions and procedures.
Because of the place which Congress holds in
our national way of life we are especially pleased
THAT Congress has undertaken to consider reor-
|ganzation in order better to do it's work. Law
making and legislative responsibility have become
increasingly complicated with growing population,
expanding commercial, industrial and agricul-
tural developments, rising standards OF living,
higher educational and cultural standards, the
world organization of markets and the nterde-
pendence of all countries on united action for the
prevention of war and the maintenance of peace.
With such complex and comprehensive re-
sponsibility Congress must provide its commit
tees with research and information services as is
the modern method Of work. Instead of the pres
ent lend-leaSe of research personnel between COM
mittees and other governmental agencies, the re-
search services adapted to Congressional needs
should be established and developed as a legisa-
tive tool.
With the increasing complexity of economic
and social institutions for which Congress must
enact legislation, it would seem well for legisla-
ton to determine broad principles of policy and
leave to administrative agencies the working out
Of application to specific problems. Congress
would then hold the administrative agencies ac-
countable for carrying out the purposes of the|
legislation.
The further application of this principle off
continuous review would release Congress froml
the necessity of examining individual budgets oil
units in executive departments. The response
bilty for budgetary control would be exercised
by the Chief Executive through the Bureau of the
Budget.
The mechanics of plans for reorganizing the
work of Congress have been presented in reports
oy private agencies. The most notable is the
Heller report, sponsored by the National Plan
nng Association. Congress has created a joint
to make an early report.
We hope Congress will make the changes
to enable it better to meet its increased

THE CIVILIAN ARMY OF MERCY

ALL OVER THE world America is fighting. Anc
her armies are made up of men who Sprane
from all the countries OF the world Men OF all nd
tions, creeds, and races. Men who have come TO,
oether in our New World, building by their booo
and toll and laughter the America we know.
At home America is fighting too. People OF
every race and creed, in every walk OF lie, are
contributing to the giant Red Cross program OF
aid to those in need at home and overseas. They
number many millions. Every one OF US is part
of this great civilian army Of mercy.
In wartime and in peace-this is battle
which goes on forever. This is battle which is
never wholly won. There is no conceivable turn
this war can take which will lessen to any great
degree the responsibilities of this army, the work
of the American Red Cross.
This is battle against suffering, wherever It
may be. In fire and famine, In tornado and flood
the Red Cross must be ready with emergency re-
lief. with shelter and food and clothing with re-
habilitation programs for the destitute-those lett
destitute by war as well by natural disaster.
To fight the battle of injury and disease the
Red Cross has expanded to mammoth degree lts
home nursing, nurse recruitment, flfst ald nutrl-
tion and disaster services
To help save the lives Of wounded, it developed
its Blood Donor Service into one OF the largest
medical undertakings in history
To fight the battle OF loneliness and anxiety,
the Red Cross has stationed many thousand men
and women with our fighting forces at home and
overseas When necessary, field directors estab-
sh their contact with home. Red Cross club
workers provide them with entertainment and re-
taxation when they are on leave When they are
in The hospital, Red Cross workers provide serv
ices suited to the needs of the sick and wounded
For the comfort and welfare of our prisoners
of war and civilian nternees, millions of pounds
of food packages, medical supplies, comfort arti-
cles and clothing are carried to Europe on the
Red Cross fleet To relieve the suffering Of refugee
men and women and children in occupied coun-
tries vast amounts OF relief supplies are sent by
and through the American Red Cross.
TO keep this great army functioning, the time
the energy, and the dollars of the American peo-
pie are needed Without them it cannot continue
Every man. woman, and child in America is part
of this army. You are the Red Cross--you are the
soldiers in its ranks.

We believe that the principle of majority rule
should be the means for determining all except

We believe that no single nation given repre-

TO block action against an aggreSSOr nation. We
believe the determination to make war should not
permanently be left with an unrepresentative
agency.
We believe that ways must be devised to give
functional groups of all member nations repre-
Sentation, SO that they may have active interest
and responsibility in the work of the United Ma

various countries, the United Nations will not
have the loyalty necessary for effective coopera-
ton.

BAILEY BILL SUBSTITUTE

WITH LABOR and employer backing, Senators
" Robert +. Wagner, New York and Harley M
Kilgore, West Virginia have offered a substitute
for the May-Bailey labor service bill, which has

The Wagner-kilgore bill eliminates all labor

proposes employment ceilings to be set by the
War Manpower Commission and enforced by
financial penalties on management. This is the
present program of the commission. The new bill
would give the program statutory status.
