desperate plea the need of small tobacco plants

Our section has long been blessed with pretty fair crop
yields year after year There scarcely year that
goes by that we don't feel that the weather little
bad. Sometimes fret about it more than Christians
should. Sometimes feel that because the elements
aren't lust the want them, that being mis-
treated. But when think back the past and

failure under would be disaster to
farmers and businessmen alike.

Thursday the Republican Highway
committee proposal to increase the
gasoline tax by one-half cent was
killed. With the killing of this tax
and the death of the weight-mile and
crude oil tax proposals not a single
major source of new highway revenue
remains to be considered.
The weight-mile bill, House Bill
ESQ, went down to defeat 1888,
along almost straight partisan lines,
despite the efforts of Reps. Graybill
McAndrews and Macdonald to keep
the bill alive. Only six Republicans
joined with 27 Democrats in attempt
ing to place a more equitable sys-
tenn of taxation on the heavy COM
mercial trucks and trailers that are
destroying Montana highways faster
than the state can replace them. This
bill was sponsored by seven Demo-
Gratis and six Republicans, however,
when the roll was taken, only four
of the Republican sponsors voted for
HB $50. Another was absent, and
the sixth, Rep. McElwain, who in ad-
dition to being Powell county rep
resentative is state chairman of the
Republican Central Committee, voted
to kill the bill.

termed after the very successful Ore.

WHY NOT GIVE STATE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL AT
MILES CITY A DECENT INTERVAL OUT OF
THE Fish BOWL" OF PUBLICITY?

They gave their report and then
16 recommendations to the Board OF
Education which, with the exception
of the Governor, was composed OF
the same members who had strug-
gled through the first discovery of
trouble at the school, and who had
spent many months searching the ma
ton for another uperintendent.
The Board accepted the report
of the legislative investigating COM
mittee except for point No. 16, which
recommended the release of Mr.. VOL
howe. Basic administrative functions
of the institution, according to the
legislative committee report have
been neglected, and only the disnis-
sal of Mr.. Wolhowe would correct
these shortcomings.
In refusing to release Mr.. VOL
howe, the Board of Education in
sisted he must have more time to ac-
complish his aims-in better atmos-
phere-with greater cooperation TO
show if he can do anything with the
institution.
At the moment the situation is at
a point of impasse.
There are several conclusions that
are obvious: The committee report
was submitted in all sincerity. They
are adamant on the subject that VOL
howe is not an administrator, while
granting he is a qualified man in the
field of the problems of delinquent
boys.
The Board of Education insists that
Is points of the Is presented to
them appear in recommendations in
the Board minutes over the past
year. They insist Mr.. Wolhowe must
be given a further chance to prove
what he can do.
So, in the meantime, what is the
fate of the Industrial School?
This problem is bigger than Mr..
Wolhowe, or the acceptance of the
investigating committee report.
Even if the superintendent were
asked to leave the school, it would
be another long search for a quail
fled man to take his place.
The committee report contains val
liable material to be considered in
the future of the school.
1t seems to me it would be in the
best interests of Montana and the
boys at the school if some resolves
were made to work toward the fu-
ture. What if the Industrial School
were given a decent interval out of
the "fish bowl'? What if a con-
certed effort by group of Mon

By GRETCHEN BILLINGS

Since early in 1851 the State In
dustrial School at Miles City has
been in the public eye. 1t was then
that Carl Horn was fired as superin-
tendent, in an unhealthy air of SEN
sationalism, by the Board of Educa-
ton. 1t took the board many months
to find a qualified man to fill the
position of administrator. Many men
were interviewed. Those who had the
qualifications would have nothing to
do with the Montana Institution be-
cause of the upheavel, the political
mess, and the fact that it has been
rated one of the worst such insti-
buttons in the country. 1t has been
estimated that it will take $40 years
to make a reputable institution out
of it. When Casper Wolhowe came to
Montana to survey the institution for
the Board and give them an idea
where to begin the clean up, they
persuaded him to leave his work in
Illinois and come to Montana to do
the Job.
Things never did settle down at
Miles City. Escapes, fires, destruc
ton and unfavorable publicity for
every failure at the school has kept
the institution in an unsavory light
for at least % months.
The 1852 political campaign found
inflamatory ads carried in many of
the papers over the state. To be the
center of a political campaign can
be ruinous to the equilibrium of an
institution. (The superintendent of
one of the other state institutions
made the remark that he had spent
every night of the campaign on his
knees thanking God that his institu-
ton had not become involved in the
campaign).
But, at the State Industrial School
at Miles City, the "time for peace"
was not yet at hand,
1t was not unusual and it was prob
ably very necessary that the legisla-
ture appoint an investigating COM
mittee to look into the Miles City
school. However, it could not be ex-
pected that the investigation would
be made, reported and closed with
out further repercussions at the
school, in the highest political eche-
Ions and across the state.
The investigating committee did
everything within its power to avoid
anything that would upset the school,
but it could not be avoided.
The investigating committee found
much with which to be dissatisfied
at the Industrial School.

cut back to five per cent.
(Word reaching this office as we
go to press is that unfavorable re-
action has already set in over the
cutting down of the program pro-
posed under House Bill 112, and that
a compromise measure may be forth
coming
lib 112, which has wide support
among school teachers, administra-
tors, trustees, parent-teacher groups
and others, came out of committee
with a unanimous edo pass" recon-
mendation. Certain forces in the
committee of the whole, led by
O'Connor, were successful in cut
ting back budgetary increases in
the financial schedules for the dis
tricts about two-thirds overall. This
was done in the face of sharply in
creasing school costs and growing
school attendance.
Mrs. Reed, chairman of education
committee, in trying to stop the sur
gical operation being performed by
CDR" O'Connor, told the House:
"You can't argue with the stork.
There were 9O,9OS elementary and
high school students in 1914
and 1890 in 1852. The state con-
stitution guarantees each one of
them a right to an education -
Speaker of the House Chaffin, Gal
latin, also did a bit of surgery on
the bill. Chaffin succeeded in amend
ing the measure to stop use of funds
for kindergartens, recreation, adult
education and other purposes.

House Bill 230, by five Democrats,
Macdonald, Beck, Michels, Barrett
and Emmons, was stop-gap meas
ure which its sponsors estimated
would bring in another million dol
lars per year. HB 230 proposed that
a five cents per barrel tax be lev
led on crude oil produced in Mon
tana or imported into the state. Spon-
sors pointed out that at present the
state receives no tax on oil trans
ported into the state, that on Mon
a-produced oil the industry pays
an average of only 13 cents per bar
rel, while royalty owners pay 1913
cents tax per barrel. Opponents made
much of the possibility that this was
a most unfair tax on operators of
small producing wells. Significantly,
however, no attempt was made in
committee to amend out any of their
objections to the bill, so that this
stop-gap proposal could at least pro-
vide part of the answer to the per-
picking problem of raising addition
al highway revenue.
Republican Reps. O'Conn r,
Schiltz, and Smith led the fight to
kill HB 23O.

dollars away from the education
of Montana boys and girls. In this
operation, O'Connor received strong
support from Rep. Taylor, Daniels.
Rep. OmhoIt, Teton, further chang
ed the bill to limit its application
to the next two years.
Many members spoke on HB 112
during the hot two and one-half hour
debate. At a public hearing a week
ago only Montana Taxpayers Associ-
alton opposed the measure, while
school, parent and farm groups gave
it strong support.
Among those opposing the cutting
of the foundation program, in adj
dition to Mrs. Reed, were Reps.
Sykes, Rimel and Cervoski.
The roll call is taken on a motion
to segregate HB 112 from the COM
mittee of the whole report. Had the
segregation move been successful the
bill would have been stripped of the
Gripping amendments by O'Connor,
Chaffin and Omholt.
