On the subject Of gloves, some
one inquiries: "At a reception
where one stands around and has
so little place to put anything, do
you still feel that a woman should
take off her gloves entirely instead
of turning them in at the wrist?
Another point to remember is that
gloves are often a decorative part
of her costume and their effect is
entirely lost when taken Off"
The turned-back glove, making
a lumpy wrist. is very unbecom-
ing! This is really the only OBJ
lection to doing it. If this does
not distress you, there is no rule
against your doing as you please.
Theoter Tickets Creote Problem
Dear Mrs. Post: My young
daughter met a boy last summer
at a friends house. He has writ
ten and asked her to go to a
Saturday matinee when he visits
his relatives here and asked her
to get the tickets to whatever she
wants to see and wherever she
wants to sit. He explained that
he thought it would save time
this way rather than ask her first
and then tell his relatives to get
the tickets. We got these and
they are very expensive because
the show is a current smash hit.
My husband feels we should offer
to pay half but I think this would
embarrass the boy.
Answer: According to what the
boy wrote, I think you may as
sumo that he is prepared for their
cost and these tickets are
really his obligation.

HIGHWAY FUNDS WILL BE
SHORT

The state of Montana is worse off
in regard to money for highways than
two years ago, says John Woodcock,
new secretary of tht state highway
commission.
While the use tax, which many peo-
pie were glad to see discontinued as
of July 80, 1851, brought $1,7O0,-
600 year in revenue. the new high
truck tax law will bring in an esti-
mated $1,800,0O0 annually. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that with the in
creased cost of maintenance and
lack of other revenue available the
new law will still not produce enough
money to provide the matching funds
sufficient to bring Montana all Fed
eral funds the state is entitled to re-
ceive.

IDAHO COMPENSATION co. HEARING
SET FOR THURSDAY, May 10

The hearing to be conducted by
Commissioner of Insurance John j.
Holmes to determine whether his
department should revoke the Idaho
Compensation Company's license to
do business in Montana will be held
Nav 10. Originally the hearing date
was set for April %.
Basis for the hearing was set
forth in a SIXTEEN bill of particulars
requesting cancellation of the COM
panv's license by former Industrial
Accident Board Chairman, Walter
P. Coombs, whose term expired Mon
day, April 80. Baxter Larson, Hell
ena Attorney, became the new lab
chairman, Tuesday, May ~
The six reasons listed by Coombs
for denying the Idaho company a re-
newal of its license, were:
/. The company has over-eXtended
its capacity to underwrite workmen's
compensation insurance in Montana.
2. The company is not possessed
of sufficient assets and capital struc-
ture to justify the volume of liabili-
ty it has assumed.
8. The company has evidenced a
tendency to "shave claims" and dis
charge its obligations in manner
detrimental to the people of Montana;
that it has not lived up to the spirit
and intent of state compensation laws
and that it has relied upon legal tech
-
rial accident claims.
A. The Company's attitude toward
widows and orphans has been such
as to make it necessary for such
claimants to employ counsel and en-
gage in costly litigation in order to
secure settlement of impending
claims.

of their taxes.

PRIVATE POWER TRYS TO
CONTROL REA PROGRAM

The 'privates" would like to see
all publicly utilities separ-
ated by feuds and working at cross
purposes; but observe how they
work in concert. At the state level
in Idaho and Montana, private mo-
nopoly worked feverishly for state
laws (and got them) which fix long
term street lighting contracts be-
tween municipalities and the utility.
The details of these laws keep high
rates fixed and discourages munich

that the "privates" are using Mr..
McManus of Defense Electric Power
Administration to control the loca-
ton of REA construction. Although

MONTANA LANDLESS INDIANS SEEK
FIGHTING OF ANCIENT WRONG

Montana's "1andless Indians" will
seek to secure $3.50 per acre for
ten million acres of land in North
Dakota which was figuratively stolen
from the Cree and Chippewa tribes
under the "Ten Cent Treaty" of
1892, Joseph Dussome, Zortman,
president of the Montana organiza-
ton, has announced
The decision to work for righting
the sixty-year-old wrong which saw
their land purloined away by fed
eral agents for 10 cents an acre, was
reached at an organizational meet
ing in Great Falls recently.
Basis of the claim is that the sub
chief of the Crees and Chippewas
who approved the sale of the tribal
lands at 10 cents per acre did so
without the approval of either his
superior. Chief Littleshell, or of the
henderson, the tribe. The claim will
be filed under public law 724 which
authorizes any g. band, tribe or
group of identifiable American In
dams residing in the United States
:" to file claims against the gov
eminent
The organization will not attempt

to regain possession of the land. The
figure of $3.50 per acre was the
price originally demanded by Chief
Littleshell and the price received by
the government when the land was
later sold to settlers. Should the
claim be approved, the money will be
distributed on a per capita basis to
living tribal members.
In addition to organizing and form
ulating their demands, the "landless
Indians" also elected officers for
the coming year. Elected, in addi-
ton to President Dussome, were:
Jerry Thumm and Jack Sangry, Great
Falls, first and second vice presi-
dents; Mrs. Helen Thumm, Great
Falls secretary, and Mrs. Orville

COP RECORD ON
388 BLASTED BY
GRANITE SENATOR

HELENA, May 1.-The fight over
the coop tax bill, which died by a
single vote in Montana's senate in
February, went on today.
The latest shot was fired by State
Sen. Chan Ettien (D-Granite). He
wrote the Associated Press "my two
bits worth" after he heard that House
Speaker Dry j. Armstrong (R- Flat
head had said the only reason the
coop tax bill got through the house
was because of desperate need for
additional revenue
House bill 388, the so,called CO.
op tax bill, in addition to taxing
the income of co-ops, taxed the in
come of labor unions, churches, hos.
pitfalls, schools and scientific foun-
dations. At the same time it ex-
empted the income of country clubs
and fraternal organizations" Ettien
wrote.
ARMSTRONG SHOULD EXPLAIN
'If, as Armstrong is reported as
saying, the only reason the coop
bill got through the house was be-
cause Of desperate need for reve-
nue. for the state, perhaps he and
the other Republican leaders of the
32nd legislature can explain why
they pointedly exempted the coun-
try club set and the like at the ex-
pense of labor unions, hospitals,
schools and other like organizations.
THE truth is that the dominating
Republican element was so hell-bent
on ramming the coop bill through
the legislature that they did not stop
to realize the political ramifications
and danger it had until it got into
the senate. Then it took the Demo-
Gratis to point out what pure chicanery
the bill contained.
Armstrong and other proponents
of HB 1888 are now frantically trying
to get out from under. l sympathize
with their plight, but can't quite
figure how they are going to erase
the record. GREAT FALLS TRIB-
