spread the gospel of the "Ameri-
can Way" The United States had
just found itself embroiled in the
war with Germany.
The honorable Manuel L. Quez-
on, commissioner to the United
States, whose name has now been
entered among those of the great
men of history believed that no
people deserved to be free who
were unwilling to resort to arms, if
need be, to defend that freedom.
Consequently, he felt it an oppor-
tune time to show that his coun-
trymen believed in the cause of de-
mocracy and were willing to sup
port that belief with armed force.
To this end he offered, in 1918, to
enlist, equip and train division
of about $4,000 native troops to
serve the mother country Cor was
it step-mother against the Teu-
tons.
congress In turn promised to re-
ciprocate by accepting the offer
and mastering the foreign troops
into service under the Stars and
Stripes on an equal status with
regular troops of the United
States army. The federal govern
ment was to finance the unit dur
ing this period which was guaran-
teed to last at least 80 days. These
were no mere mercenary troops;
these were patriotic volunteers
who blieved that no colony or
country should be subjected to for
eign rule without their consent
and more important still, were
willing to back up their belief by
their actions and sacrifices. In the

The officers were drawn mostly
from the Scouts, the Constabulary
units of the regular army, the civ
il service and civil life. Training
was done mostly at Camp Tomas
Claudio on Pasay Beach, a few
kilometers south of Manila. How
ever, it was not until November
20, 1918, nine days after the sign
ing of the armistice, that we were
finally mustered into the coveted
federal service. Those of us who
held important civil service Jobs
were mustered out on December
18th to return to our civil posts.
While many of the natives re-
NAMED with the organization
for three months of further train
ing.
The case of a young Moro prince
in our officers training outfit is
recalled. Mohamed's father was
datu and big one. One day he
confided to us that he had a beau
tiful sister, so beautiful and desir-
able in fact that a neighboring
datu had proposed" to her father
for her hand in marriage and sup
ported his courtship with a pay
ment of twelve or thirteen cara
baos.
The Guard afforded a fine ex-
ample of cooperation and COM
radeship between the Fflipinos and
the Americans. This same spirit
was evidenced later in Korea. OF

namely from the time of the Span

ton of F. D. Roosevelt in 1882,
the Republicans had been in pow

all Republican leaders favored a
strong colonial policy. Though the
American people were committed
to eventual independence of the
islands, the movement made but
little Roadway until Wilson's time.
1t was the policy of the Demo-

This attitude was quite noticeable
during the rule of Francis Bur-

Farm Mortgage Debt TO Hit
So Billion BY Years End

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Farm mortgage debt keeps on rising
and by the years end may total SO
billion, lUSDA said recently. That
would be a 1919 increase in 1865,
compared with a 79o increase last
year. Individuals hold 41% of this
debt; insurance companies, 25@o; fed
eral land banks, 1870; and commercial
banks, 1870.

Taking note of the propaganda
campaign launched near the end of
the 1855 Legislature for imposi-
tana, a thorough airing of General
Sales Taxes, whether or not one
is needed in this state to raise addi-
tional revenue, and exploration of
other sources of more tax money,
will be a highlight of this years
institute program.
Two other panels will be devoted
primarily to state issues of import
ance.
One of these will be on the 'Man-
agement of Our School Lands" that
the state and the public school sys-
tenn will receive the greatest possible
return from such trust lands.
The other state issue panel will
center discussion on "Montana's Pub
lie Schools" how to meet the con-
tinuing shortage of qualified teaching
personnel, how to raise funds to prop
erly house rapidly increasing school
population land other school problems.
RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
Always accorded an important
berth on any institute panel is the
question of resource development,
how best to go about it, whether river
and valley development is to be COM
plete or piecemeal ,etc. This year, the
Administrations power partnership"
policy will come in for critical atten-
ton in panel titled Partnership,
Public Power and Atomic Energy"
The institute committee, taking
note of the continuing downward
spiral in farm prices while consumer
prices for foods continue upward, has
scheduled panel on the Family
Farmer and the Consumer, and what
avenues are open to help each cope
with increasingly adverse economic
pressures resulting in too-wide mar
gins being charged by middlemen in
the processing and distribution and |
of the food supply industry.
Organic unity of the AFL and Clio
and IT'S Importance to the nations
wage earners will be another panel
which is sure to develop great deal
of discussion at the institute.

Thus, to the moment we have made very little

Put it another way-the average Montana wage
Garner in 1854, according to 1854 annual report of

income of S3,45696. Assuming Mr.. Average Wage
Garner had wife and three children as exemptions,
his total Montana income tax for 1854 a maxi
mum of S557. Should his income tax rates be raised

his annual tax would not exceed 1868

Late in July the tax-collecting
board, faced with insufficient per-
sonnet and lack of funds to add more
employees to its tax-collecting arm,
through its chairman, IF. Reid, asked
the Highway commission to assist in
Tightening up loopholes whereby an
estimated several thousand truckers
were evading paying the innocent tax
on diesel and other special motor fuels
and the importers tax passed by the
last Legislature.
The Highway commission took the
boards request under advisement until
it's meeting late in August. This week,
following that meeting, State High
way Engineer Scott p. Hart an
nounced that personnel of highways
maintenance weight stations, mem
bers of the departments planning
survey crew and highway patrolmen
will begin checking Immediately com
mercial vehicles in an attempt to Sc
cure better enforcement of the tax
laws of Montana.
Highway personnel have been in

particularly interstate operators, have
diesel permits and are paying taxes
on all gasoline over 20 gallons car
ried by their vehicles when they come
into the state, Hart said in making his
