Proposes Motel Tax

State Senator Fred l.. Robinson OF Malta, as preSi
dent pro-tempOre of the Montana senate, acting
governor of the state for So hour period when Gov
ern0r j. Hugo AronsOn and 1t. Gov. George Gosman
were absent from the state June 15 16 and H.
Acting Governor Robinson had press conference
June Is which included proposal that fee of $40
year be charged each Montana tourist cabin renting
for than S. night This idea has been suggested
from time to time
The money from such source would be used to
bolster funds used to advertise Montana and its
ton opportunities nationally.
Robinson pointed out that Montana ads in national
publications suffer by comparison with those of other
states particularly when small black and white Mon
tana ad appears with large Oregon and Alberta ads,
often in color.
He pointed out that the tourist trade is Montana's
third largest industry In 1884, tourists brought 81 mil
lion dollars ranking under agriculture and mining
Robinson certainly had good point in urging more
support for state advertising in national publications
We question his fund raising method of taxing each
cabin unit $40 year.
Harlan R. Russell Laurel, president of the Montana
Motor Court association quoted state chamber of
figures which show 1872 per cent of the tourist
dollar spent for food 20 per cent for retail purchases
10 per cent for lodging 1874 per cent for gas and OIL II
per cent for amusement, 1913 per cent for air. rail and
bus transportation and per cent general services.
Russell felt that if the acting governor would tax
the benefciaries of the tourist business with special
levy, he should devise schedule which would include
farmers stOckgroWers, food handlers, labor, retail
roads, airlineS and bus companies, theatres, night
clubs bars, cocktail lounges, curio stores camera
shops and similar enterprises as well as hotels and
mOtelS
His point that the tourist presumably eats
some Montana beef veal and lamb while in state
and is usually accompanied by bread baked by Mon
tana bakers from Montana flour and vegetables al
least delivered to the cafe by Montana grocer OF
wholesaler Everyone benefits moi just the motel op
orator, was his conclusion.
We think the motor court association president has
good case.
Unfortunate phase of the Montana motel business
is the short 1t is much shorter, for example
than the season in Utah.
Yet our visitors flock here in July and Angus
wanting accommodations equal to those they find il
areas with longer Furthermore they don't ex
pect pay higher rate because of the shorter
and actually is difficult for them to consider sucl
factors.
It is true that motels more dependent on va
catoner travel than most of the other businesses
Yet all the states business benefits and tax jus
on motels does not seem fair. We should give NOR
thought and effort toward bostering Monanas adver

eminent perhaps would benefit the
town great deal.
But regardless of my opinion, 9TH
er people have the right to theirs
too. So this is not meant to change
the mind of any of the city officials.
1t is only stating what | think, and
what l have the right to express
whether / have lived in Columbia
Falls one year or 81 years.
And it seems like there have been
several times when a dog has saved
the lives of children by pulling them
out of a stream or locating them
when lost or barking when fire has
threatened a home.
AS to going to church it might do
the dog a lot more good than it
would people with a mind as simple
as to compare mans and dogs in
telligence.
And too, when a dog becomes toe
much of a bother to other people
the police can generally destroy the
animal.
There is always some things done
anywhere in a city which lot Of
people do not like, but if it is to the
best interest of the majority it il
done, so all have to give and take
in this life.

Summer Fidd|inq

It is unfortunate that Columbia Falls cannot be-
aroused its general appearance especial
y of its streets as has the ION leash in
pen'' dog ordinance.
This small city has its share of ordinances. There
the regulations, for example, that fOrbids sprink
lerS to be after 10 p M, hoses left open and run
ming or faucets when the fire siren sounds.
About threefourths of Columbia Falls residents
are not meters, paying flat water rates. During
this communitys home owners were violating sprink
ling regulations
Howard Greene, water commissioner, has record
ing meter at the city hail. He found that heavy water
use continued through the night
There enforcement provisions for this ordin-
ance, but not single person has been brought
before the court fined or had his water shut off.
In ordinary years Columbia Falls has less than
100 of its ample dog population licensed This year the
situation is better with 181 licenses Sold Thought is
that if thinks enough of his pet to buy license,
better care will be taken.
If the attention paid the sprinkling regulations and
dog licensing requirements are any indication, don't
expect much of the ION leash in pen' ordinance.
election the subject may postpone the ordinance 60
ing into effect
It is unfortunate to be passing laws and pay so
little attention to the problems of enforcement This
creates contempt for law and order.
Columbia Falls has just one regular policeman. 1t
happens that he is a capable and alert Individual.
Let's keep in mind that the citizens of this COM
munity and its government have just few summer
months to improve streets Furthermore the financial
condition and growth pattern Of city is the best
has ever been.
It seems as though we are fidding while Columbia
Falls remains in the dust, mud and pothoes. MR

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
/ have just read the public opinion
letters concerning the dog ordinance.
/ was amazed in the first place that
such strict rules should be placed
on children's pets.
But the letter by the mayor and
councilmen was disgusting.
We hope someday to move to Col
umbia Falls, and make our home
there. But if such men govern the
city, perhaps anyone would hesitate.
And if the amount of taxes paid
and length of time lived in the city
is so important, a newcomer wouldn't
stand a chance.
We only recently moved to the
Flathead, and yes, we brought our
dog. If we moved to Columbia Falls,
he would go too. He is not only low
ed by our children, but by us. Wheth-
er he actually would protect the chill
dren or not, | don't know. But it is
comforting somehow to know he
follows them to the store and to the
neighbors to play.
| know he would be miserable tied
up, and / don't believe God mean,
for the friend of little children whom
He loves so, to be tied or penned up
He says except We become az
little children, We cannot enter the
Kingdom of God"
Perhaps if the mayor and council
men would search for guidance il
the Holy Word, the city would rul
smoother.

but people are SO imperfect, VIVA
can you expect of a lowly animal?
And it should be every citizen

if he pays no taxes and has reside,
in the community only one year.
This is my personal opinion, but

Reports On Big
FIutheud Fish
from Roman Pioneer

ROMANTIC sturgeon fish caught
in Flathead lake had a tremendous
appetite, according to Dr. Royal
Bronson of the State University staff
at Missoula, who has been studying
parts of the fish. He estimates that
the sturgeon ate about one ton of
food year.
Studies revealed that he may have
been about 81 years old and had a
healthy growth to his present size
of feet, 8 inches and weight of 181
pounds. He said that the sturgeon
was one of the forms of animal life
which is nearing extinction and is
comparative to the buffalo. He said
for this reason, the study of this
| type of fish is interesting to the BIZ
ologist.
DR.. Bronson pointed out that this
27-year old fish could not have mi
grated from the Pacific ocean due
to the fact that the Thompson Falls
dam was built about so years age
and would not permit fish travel.
DR.. Bronson reported that cir
cular bone was found in the inteS
tine of this sturgeon and this bone
might have come from the voice boz
of an animal such as dog Or cal
or possibly from human being.

in Columbia Falls very long before
he was dissatisfied and complaining
about the way the city government
was handled.
But perhaps the times have chang

the power of dictators? hardly

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
/ wonder if the elected city Off
Gals of Columbia Falls are conduct
ing themselves in the true spirit of
Democracy. In a Democracy, we
are told that there is the right to
criticize the action of public officials.
Apparently one should not do this
in Columbia Falls. If you disagree
on the aversion of the Columbia
Falls mayor and councilmen to
dogs, you might find yourself the
subject of a questionable letter sent
the newspaper.
Contrary to the statement of the
mayor and council, the city's bust
ness should be everybody's business

Spiritual privileges precede. follow

whereas ownership can be consid-
cred a privilege, religious liberty is

National socialism limits the priv

liberty. The privilege of ownership
can be invaded-it is always threat

However, one of the real tests of
the privilege of ownership is to

July IS. The council did not delay
on the measure. No public hearing

such a hearing is optional with the
