monthly investment of $3.50

Savings Bond money is used to
refinance the debt rather than

TREASURY LAUNCHES
BOND-A-MONTH PLAN
By John w. Snyder
ecretary of the Treasury

Our public debt, after fift-
cen months of paying it down
from it's peak of nearly $3.50
billion, is still near 1888 bill
lion. This exceeds the sum of
all other Indebtedness in the
United States. Most of it rep
resents the unpaid cost of win
ming war that we could not
afford to lose at any price.
We need not be overwhelmed
by the size of the debt, but
neither can we in prudence un-
derestimate it's far reaching eff
feet upon the national econo-
my. We must be constantly a.
lert to insure that it's manage
ment is fashioned to fit cur
rent economic conditions.
The key to the management
of the debt lies in the distribu-
ton of ownership of it's securi-
ties. At present a little more
than one-fourth of these is
owned by individuals. About
three-eighths is owned by 9TH
er non-bank investors, includ-
ing insurance companies, non
financial corporations and as
sociations. The other three
eighths is held by commercial
banks and Federal Reserve
Banks.
Since 1911 most of the firms
in the nation employing 100
persons or more - and many
that are smaller - have made
regular investment in Savings

Dear Mr.. Hellebust:
This will acknowledge your tele-
gram of April relative to the Cen
tralia mine disaster and the proposed
loan to Greece and Turkey, for which
accept my sincere thanks.
AS you no doubt know, a subcom-
mittee of the senate committee on
public lands went to Centralia to make
an effort to determine the cause Of the
disaster and no doubt will make GER
tain recommendations to congress
which will include a tightening of the
laws, I am sure. You may
rest assured that I will not lose sight
of this very important matter.
AS to the proposed loan to Greece
and Turkey, think it is very import
ant that we make a determination as
to what part of the loan is to be
scheduled for ornaments as compared
to that to be used for food, and I as
sure you that this particular phase

introduced by Representatives Chat
fin, Malsor, Sales of Gallatin County
AMI Hall and Johnson of Park. The
purpose of the measure is to make
Gallatin County judicial district all
by itself.
Prior to the enactment of House
Bill No. 1872, there were seventeen
judicial districts serving the fifty-six
counties in Montana. Gallatin, Park
and Sweet Grass counties were within
the sixth judicial district. The judge
of the sixth district lives in Livings-
ton, twenty-five miles by rail from the
courthouse in Bozeman, Gallatin coun-
ty and thirty-fOur miles by rail from
the courthouse in Big Timber, Sweet
Grass county. Transportation be-
tween all three counties is excellent
by rail, or bus. The highway in that
part of the state is always in good
condition.
Bozeman wanted a resident judge
Livingston has a resident judge now
and was afraid that on the next cleo
ton BOzeman man might be elected
district judge, therefore Bozeman and
not Livingston would have the resi-
dent judge. Therefore, Park county
representatives co-operated with Gal
latin county Representatives and sue
ceeded in passing the bill to create a

A SPECIAL PRIVILEGE MEASURE

special judicial district for Gallatin
county, so that Bozeman and Livings-
ton could each have a resident judge.
Sweet Grass county opposed the
creating of the new judicial district
for the reason that it was a useless
waste of public money, as there is
not enough judicial business in all
three counties to keep one judge &C.
cupied. Now with two judges doing
the work that one judge did and had
idle time on his hands, both judges
will be able to do all their judicial
business and have lots of time to go
fishing or to play golf.
There is no valid reason that the
eighteenth judicial district composed
solely of Gallatin being in existence
and the people should let it be known
that they are opposed to it.
However, the taxpayers of Montana
will have an extra and unnecessary
judge and court reporter to pay. The
cost of the courts is paid out of the
state treasury. Other counties may
want to be like Gallatin county and
have a judicial district to itself with
q resident judge at the county court
house and future sessions of the legis-
lature will likely have to consider the
creation of bills for special privilege
judicial districts to create berths for
lawyers.

HaVre, Montana
Dear Mr. Hellebust:
l am in receipt of your telegram
in which you urge immediate congress
sional action to put teeth" in the
bureau of mines inspection laws and
in which you also oppose the $780,
100000 appropriation to Greece and
Turkey for ornaments, and suggest
these funds be used for alienation of
starvation.
The senate has a committee at Cen
tralia at the present time making a
study of this disaster. Their recon-
mendations will be given careful con-
sideration when they return.
In regards to aid to Greece and
Turkey, my mail from Montana, indi-
Gates a desire to aid those who are
hungry, but very few are in favor of
armed intervention.
You can be assured this matter will
be thoroughly discussed before con-
gross takes final action.

whom there is any suspicion. In view
of present world conditions it is my
belief that the atomic energy act
should be amended to provide that the
commission should consist of the Sec
retaries of State, War, and Navy, and
two other members appointed by the
President with the consent and ap-
proval of the senate.
l shall await further discussion of
the appointment of Mr.. Clapp before
arriving at final decision.
Relative to the appropriation for the
Bureau of Customs, a decrease of APP
proximately $6,O00,000 was voted by
the house in the Treasury-Post Office

cording to the house committee, was
made in part at least for the follow
