of any major Montana county in care of the INDECENT
sick.
In the Flathead cost per capita for such care,
apparently for six month period, was 79 cents.
This compares with the next lowest county in the
group Gallatin with $103 and Cascade, the high
est with $261.
In survey of the whole state of Montana only
Sweet Grass county with per capita expenditure
of 62 cents and Petroleum county with % cents
are shown as spending less than the Flathead on a
per CAPITA basis during November 1858, to April
1854 for medical and hospital care OF the less for
tunate.
Cascade county with its comparatively high
costs allows the INDECENT choice OF any physician
in the county. This system apparently costs tax
payers more than the plan used IN the Flathead
of having a county physician.
The Flathead is a county where old people
come to retire and there is a caseload average of
$50 compared to Lewis and Clarke county with
491 and the Gallatn with $685. These are old age
assistance cases. aid to dependent children, the
blind and disabled.
On one hand it is good to see the Flathead
show up as spending less money for this particular
governmental function of hospital and medical care
for the less fortunate
The situation creates the question of perhaps
we aren't doing enough as county IN this field
since we are shown as spending less.
There is a fine, new county hospital in the
Flathead positive factor In the matter of pub
lie health program including school nursing services
the Flathead is perhaps so years behind the times
Just because we spend the least per capita and
Cascade the most on per capita basis in the over
10000 population group is no reason to unite all
purse strings for public expenditures IN the health
field.
On the other hand, it would seem that the Flat
head shouldn't be quite so tight Why are we doing
without public health and school nurses? MR.

Better Highways

We are well aware in Montana that part of our
highway problem is inability of the state to match
federal grants for building new roads
Two years ago voters turned down proposal to
boost the state gasoline tax by a penny to six
cents There is also the two cents gallon federal
tax Objective of the penny increase was to raise
more funds to match federal grants.
We don't think Montanas problem is so much
the need for an extra penny tax What is needed is
more regulation about tax exemptions on gasoline
It is difficult to arrive at any figure as to the
amount of gasoline bought for tax-exempt on-farm
and in-woods purposes that instead is used to pow
er automobiles and trucks on our highways. Most
farmers and loggers are honest.
We understand that in Alberta, gasoline sold Tor
farm and non-highway purposes has dye added
The police occasionally a bulb to take sample
of gasoline out of tanks. If the non-highway color
shows up, it is violation.
If Montana adopted such regulation, the pres
ent six cents gallon tax would raise considerably
more revenue for building good highways than 1t
does now. MN

Unfair Penalties

Montana could certainly stand new legislation
when it comes to fishing and hunting licenses.
On one hand a construction worker for example
is considered local resident for automobile plate
purposes as soon as he is employed here When II
comes to obtaining a fishing or hunting license, he
is considered an out-of-state resident for SIX
months.
Obviously one should not expect to be able to
buv local hunting license just because $40 was
paid for Montana car plates On the other hand a
man living here with his children IN scnool
shouldn't be penalized with a $100 out-of-state
hunting license compared to the local hunting and
fishing fee of S. Out of state bird license by Itself
is $25. ~
Then there is the situation of college students,
rnanv of them majoring in forestry, who work out
in the back country each summer They are the IRE
guards and trailmen in the forests. A number OF
them are from out-of-state. In Idaho these young
men whose job it is to protect and improve the Tor
ess are granted local fishing license rates In Mon
tana they are expected to pay the $40 out~of-sate
license fee ,.
A completely fair system of hunting and fishing
1;canees s difficult to achieve Present regulations
are certainly in need of Improvement. NIX

Stop and Go

Columbia Falls Business and Professional Wo-
men are taking the lead in drive to raise funds
for erecting two stop and go lights in the communi-
ty.
One light will be placed at the bank corner
and another at the Fourth Avenue West-Highway
40 intersection with its school traffic The project
will cost over $500.
Columbia Falls city council is providing $3.50,
the BPW S1OO, and Columbia Falls Chamber of
Commerce $1OO to start the drive Councilman Cy
Kronkright and Vern Brandes chief OF police, were
the first individuals to donate giving SIS each.
OF course it is recognized that the heavy stream
of traffic from the aluminium plant down Columbia
Falls Nucleus avenue is present situation. Next
wear the plant will have $50 men working on three
shifts instead of the big construction day shift as at
present 1t is difficult to get across Nucleus avenue
and highway 40 toward the schools at morning and
night these days.
Argument that the stop and go lights won't be
needed next year doesn't hold up. They will be less
needed but well regulated traffic is necessary part
of highway and street safety The corners where the
stop and go lights are to be placed are important
crossings that justify regulation OF pedestrian and

FIotheud Control o.
Weeds Advanced
by w. w. Mauritson
county extension agent

KALISPELL-Th is time of
wear when we are not actively con-
cerned with controlling weeds.
However, there is always another
year and another weed season
coming. County agents and weed
supervisors met in Roman Monday
to exchange experiences with con-
troll measures. We brought back
a few ideas other counties are sue
cessfully using to help us in fu-
ture years.
Through the work of Olav Prest-
bye who has served as weed con-
troll supervisor for many years in
Flathead county, weeds are not the
problem here they are in other
places. Olav and the people of this
valley have done a good job.
A few comparisons point out the
weed problem:
Perennial weeds such as White
top, Leafy Spurge, Russian KNAPP
weed, and Goatweed cause trem-
endous losses to the farmer and
the farm community. First stands
of these weeds reduce yields of
crops and dollars to the farmer
and consequently to the communi-
ty. Secondly, it costs money to
control or eradicate one Of the
pests.
Let's take one weed pest-Goat-
weed. Goatweed was found in
Flathead county first about II
years ago. Control by chemicals
was started. At that time there
wasn't the variety of chemicals we
have today. Seeds were scattered |
by animals, machinery, and in
advertently by man, so now goat
weed is found on approximately |
ITS to 200 acres.
Wherever it is found grazing
is ruined.
Compare our 200 acres with an
county. The weed was
found about the same time. No
controls were used and it is esti-
mated that there are now 100000
acres of land infested.
Commissioners of the County
Weed Control board are Lawrence
Creston, chairman; Henry
Lower Valley, and Con-
rad Gilbertson, Saltwater, who di-
rects the weed control activities.
