and painStaking study have
gone into the making Of the
Montana highway program rec
commended in June by the State
Highway Interim committee.
The program was announced
as tentative by the committee,
since it still needs a few minor
changes plus the approval of
the entire 83-member commit
tee named by Governor Bonner
before it can be sent to the
chief executive. However, all
the evidence has been heard
and the basic policy has been
decided upon and embodied in
this report.
The recommendations are di-
vided into two sections, one
covering administrative changes
and the other financing. These
are broad in scope, since the
committee confined it's activity
to setting up a statewide pro-
gram without regard to local
problems except as they are af-
tected by the entire program.
The administrative organiza-
ton is based upon the principle
that the State Highway COM
mission should be more easily
reached and more readily re-
SponS1ble to local people and
that the principal administra-
tive officer of the department
should be as far removed from
politics as possible.
To accomplish these aims, the
committee recommended that a
12-member highway commits
sion, appointed by the COVER
nor, replace the present five
man commission Each commits
Sioner would serve a term of
eight years, with the first
terms staggered so that the en-
tire commission could not be
replaced at one time. Each
commissioner would represent
one of the states IL financial
districts.
Members would be required to
demonstrate their interest in
and knowledge of highway mat
tiers and the state highway sys-
tenn in their districts. Any gov
ernor would have to prove mis-
feasance, inefficiency or neg
lect of office by holding a
hearing before any member
could be removed. Besides the
regular commission duties, the
12-member commission would
be required to study needs and
make legislative recommended
tons and to submit programs
for highway development for
legislative consideration, in
Guiding financing and keeping
abreast of changing conditions.
Commission members would
receive SIS a day for reimburse
ment while in session, an in
crease of S. a day over the
present rate. The commission
would be required to set up a

Highway Interim Committee Would
Increase Group to Twelve Members

A digest of the recommended
program of the Montana High
way Interim committee appear
ing In Montana Motoristn
magazine, explains the com
mlttee'S recommendations for
organizing and financing a
state highway program.
Program of the committee, of
winch George Daniels of Har-
o1n Is a member, was published
as follows:
Months of work, keen interest
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1950-07-06

sonnet, knowledge of finance
and knowledge of engineering
fundamentals. At present only
engineering knowledge is re-
quired.
This administrator would be
paid at least $4,000 annually.
At present a scale of $4,000 to
$12,0 900 is set up for the chief
engineer. The administrator
would have full authority to
employ, direct and discharge
all employees, which would
take highway personnel away
from political threat. The adj
ministrator would be required
to set up a merit system for
hiring employees of long SER
vice to the state.
The committee believes such
administrative overhauling will
make highway employees more
contented and efficient, elm
mate waste, make the high
way program flexible and eff
fective. This, in turn, the COM
mittee believes, will make tax
payers more willing to pay for
a highway program and will
give the state more highway for
the money.
The finance program is based
on the policy that the state
shall lose no federal aid. Each
81 shortage in state funds
means loss of $2.38 in construc-
ton money, and increasing
maintenance requirements will
use up all state funds by 1858
if no additional money is pro-
vided.
Without additional highway
revenue of approximately $780,
600 a year, Montana would lose
So, 600, 900 of federal aid and
construction and reconstruction
would stop. The SIS, 300, 900 would
give the state a 100000 900 an
nual program, which is within
possibility.
Financing is a matter to be
decided by the legislature and
to be weighed as to the &C.
onomic effect on the revenue to
be obtained. There is possibility
Of an additional 1R-cent gas
oline tax, not to be refunded
for any reason. Elimination of
gasoline tax refunds, which
would be opposed by farm
groups, could be made law only
by approval of initiative or ref
erendum.
Another possibility is elimina-
ton of the refund law with the
provision that rs per cent OF
the refund money would go to
the secondary highway pro-
gram in the country where the
money was collected and the
rest to counties with small
refunds. Stricter enforcement
of the refund law with colored
gasoline and enforcement by
the highway patrol instead OF
the state equalization board is
a favored possibility.
For trucks the answer is a
gross vehicle weight tax over an
increment or wheel tax. Strict
er enforcement of truck over
load regulations would he fav-
ored, with IS per cent of the
fines to go to the state high
way fund and the rest to the
county assessing the fines.
Another recommendation is
that revenue from Montana
Railroad Commission permits
for trucking above administra-
tive expenses go to the highway
fund instead of the state gen.
eral fund and a general prop
erty tax go to the highway
fund, since all property owners
use and benefit from highways
Other possibilities were an
increased tax on petroleum and
a motor vehicle caravan tax
Several states now tax pet
roleum 6 per cent, while Mon
tana charges petroleum 2 pei
cent for the state general fund
Any of these recommended

YOUR YARD
And GARDEN
BY Leonard wager, Assis-
tant Horticulturist Montana
Extension Service.
CARE OF THE LAWN

Lawns respond to good care
during the summer months. It
is important that the mower be
set to cut fairly high. Now the
lawn at about a Pinch height.
Close clipping during the hot
part of the summer reduces the
leaf area and subsequently re-
duceS the root system. Such
practices result in turfs that
easily dry out during prolonged
dry spells.
DO not allow the grass to
grow too long between clip
pings. 1t is a good idea to cut
often and leave the clippings
lay and form a mulch at the
soil level. Removing the clip
pings with a grass catcher or
by a rake takes away a good
source of organic matter for
the soil.
Watering the lawn is another
practice that is often done in
correctly. Frequent light Sprink-
lings with the hose encourage
shallow roofing of the grass. In
times of prolonged dry weather
lawns treated in this manner
may be damaged very consid-
erably. More thorough and less
frequent waterings or irriga-
tions are the best practice to
follow in maintaing a healthy
turf.
Light fertilizing with about 2
lib. of ammonium sulphate per
1000 50. feet of lawn area will
help stimulate green color in
the lawn The fertilizer should
be applied when the grass is
dry; then it should be watered
thoroughly. To distribute the
fertilizer more evenly, some
gardeners add the fertilizer to
some dry, sifted soil, mix it
thoroughly and apply it in that
manner.
DandelionS and plantain are
two common weeds in lawns
These, and other broad leaf
weeds are readily controlled by
hormone weed killers. One
| should use the anime Or sodium
salt forms of 2,4-D rather than
the esther forms. The latter
forms are very volatile and will
damage ornamental paintings
around the yard.
In any case, one should be
very careful in handling 2,4-I
as it will kill many ornamental
and garden plants even if min
ute quantities of the substance
contact broad leaf plants. One
should use a sprayer solely for
2,4-D spraying and not expect
to use it for spraying plants
with insecticides or fungicides
Dandelions and broadleaf weeds
are most effectively controlled
when they are in an actively
growing period.
Remember that 2,4-D is only
a weed killer. Use of the weed
killer plus other good lawr
maintenance practices are in
order if a good lawn is to be
realized. Old patchy lawns
showing an abundance of dan
delions and other weeds may
suggest a poor, impoverished
soil. The primary issue under
such circumstances is improve
ment of soil rather than weeo
control although the latter
should be considered.
Lawns built on good, deer
soils high in organic matter are
little troubled with weeds pro-
viding other good practices are
followed. Some of the important
practices are proper watering
and fertilizing, moving ano
using desirable grass seed.
