C. M. CAR PRODUCTION
SHOWS GAIN IN WEEK

General Motors production of
passenger cars in the United States
for the past week rose more than
1000 units over the previous week
despite a slight increase in the
total number of supplier strikes
currently affecting GIN production,
c. E. Wilson, president, said.
The improved U. S. a produc-
ton vas made possible because
many of the recent supplier strikes
are affecting GINS Canadian divis-
ions only while the strike situation
in this country is improving, Wilson
said.
GIN produced 2O,43S passenger
cars in the U. S. last week compar-
ed with 1871 produced in the pre-
vious week. However, last weeks
passenger car production still fell
more than so per cent below pro-
duction for the comparable week
in 1871 when 1904 cars were turn
ed out. General Motors total U. S.
production of cars for the year to
date is 227,938 compared with l.
376,385 produced during the same
period of 1871.
Greatest improvement in produc-
ton among the GIN car divisions
last week was shown by Cadillac
which assembled 666 cars. In the
first three weeks of July, Cadillac
had assembled only 132 cars because
of material shortages. Likewise,
the Chevrolet Motor division, for the
first time since VI day, produced
more than 10000 cars in one week.
Chevrolet's production for last week
was 1921 compared with 22,755
cars produced by that division in
the comparable week of 1871.
Truck production fell off slightly
last week with 1886 units produced
as compared with 8,762 produced
the week previous. Total
production of trucks by GIN this
year to date. is 114,301 compared
with 263,44S for the same period of
1941.

SENATOR BURKE SPEAKS
ON TAX INCOME, OUTLAY.

State Senator Tom Burke of Bill
ings was the speaker Tuesday at
the weekly luncheon meeting of the
Laurel Rotary club and discussed
in some detail the subject of taxes,
paying particular attention to coun-
ty taxes and mentioning state and
school district taxes. He was pre-
scented by P. A. Johnston, a member
of the August program committee
of the club.
Burke is a member of the public
finance committee of the Billings
Commercial club and quoted from
an extensive collection of tax data
that had been prepared for the
Billings organization.
The county, he stated, has no
bonded Indebtedness, and for the fis-
cal year ending June 80 paid moth
ing on bonds or interest. Many
other counties of the state are less
fortunate.
The speaker made a brief survey
of collections and expenditures IN
connection with operation of the
county government, giving atten-
ton to the principal offices and
services and to the principal funds.
The figures quoted revealed that
virtually all of the offices spent
less than the amount budgeted for
the period from July 1, 1915, to
June 80, 1916. Some unspent bal
ances were small, others were larg-
er.
The county portion of taxes to
be collected for the period was
S371,227. The amount actually COL
lected was $365,769.41, leaving $5,-
delinquent. During the per-
iod there were delinquent taxes paid
for previous years amounting to
s9,193.56. The years income, with
the figures already mentioned and
other income from fees, licenses,
fines, miscellaneous revenue, inter-
est, sales, fair and incoming re-
funds made a grand total of $780,
996.41.
The total cash on hand for all
funds at the beginning of the fiscal
year was S308,114.54; receipts were
s673,418.62, and the total was thus

HARVEST Of GRAIN
PROGRESSES WITH
MAXIMUM SPEED
Beets, Beans, Corn Make Good
Growth - Marketing Of
Cattle Begins Early

Crop growth and harvesting OPP
erations are progressing with max
imum speed in most sections of
Montana. Harvesting operations
were interrupted in some sections
for a day or so by scattered showers
and rains. In most areas field
work progressed without Interrupt
ton. High temperatures during the
week and high winds resulted in
rapid evaporation of plant and soil
moisture. By the end of the week,
soil moisture supplies were reduced
but were considered adequate in
most sections, with a few scattered
areas becoming deficient. The warm
dry weather quickened the ripening
of grain crops and maturity of
range grasses.
Combining of winter wheat is

ton of the state and considerable
acreage has been combined in some
north-central counties, while in most
other sections these operations are
just getting started. Yields on the
acreage which has been harvested so
far have been average or better.
Binder harvest is farther along for
winter wheat and is generally in
progress in all but the late areas.

Burke said part came from general
taxes of all property in the county

troll districts. Some city property
owners had questioned the Brightness
of their having to pay for weed
eradication in distant parts of the
county or on property in which
they had no financial interest. The

Complete but unofficial returns
gave Mr.. Morrison 67,824 votes, as
compared to 63,342 for Robert s

yune and other hackers of Mr.
Morrison claimed victory for him
in the Democratic primary. That
party's nomination is tantamount
to election here.
Mr.. Morrison, formerly a colonel
in the Army, was supported by the

his campaign fight against the old

speeches he attacked machine rule

while they asked for support on the
basis of the Mayors nine-year rec

Still to be counted were the votes
for four other candidates. Mr.. Nor

these votes would not equal his 1854
