Recognizing an Obligation

The positive restatement by Budget
Director Hughes Of the Federal Govern
ment's substantial interest in maintaining
and developing Washington as the National
Capital is reassuring to District residents.
Until recently the Government had sadly
neglected its obligations in support OF the
financially oppressed city. For many
years its payments as partner In the
Capital building enterprise had declined to
an unrealistic and unfair level. The trend
In Federal circles was toward letting the
District worry about its fiscal and other
problems, despite the fact that most OF the
problems were related to growth OF the
Federal establishment here.
Mr. Hughes has made 1t plain that,
whatever the policies prevailing In the past,
the Eisenhower administration has an
"unequivocal determination" to make Wash
ington the great Capital that the planners
want it to be. AS evidence of this determi-
nation, he cited the increase in the Federal
payment from $12 million to about $22
million (including payments for water and
other services) and various loans and grants
for hospitals. public works and other i'm
provements. Some of the latter types OF
aid, of course, are given also to the States
and cities under general legislation. =
But he stressed the administrators
acceptance of the principle that Federal
payments to the District should be ION
reasonable level. commensurate with the
Federal Governments position in, and
demands upon, the District" If that sound
principle is adhered to in the future, the
fiscal problems inherent in proceeding with
the orderly development Of Washington win
be considerably reduced.

FOAM RUBBER BED.
w. w. c., Alerandria)

For M. X: About your in
quiry about a foam rubber
mattress directly on a ply
wood panel, we did that over
o half q year ago and with q
double bed no less, and find 1t
far superior to any other Sleep
ing device, and believe me.
we have tried the best of them
over the past II years and
nothing equals foam rubber
over the plywood after a few
days getting used to its firm
ness.
There are a few dos and
don'ts-De get a good quality
Of foam rubber mattress. Get
o medium weight. Don't get
either the hard or the soft
one. With either of these you
might as well just use the ply
wood without a mattress. I got
a medium weight one from q
local supply store located
about Twenty-third or Twenty
fourth and r streets.
A few years ago I made
twin beds by stretching heavy
3-inch cotton webbing over
bed frames, then placed the
foam rubber on the webbing.
They were wonderful. Then
we tried placing panels Of ply
wood between the webbing and
the mattress and the results
were even better. Thus when
built the most recent bed. /
merely eliminated the web
bing and we have the perfect
bed.
One more do" Use a good
denim or other relatively
heavy mattress cover such as
ticking. etc. Otherwise the
mattress will be inclined to be
hot in the summertime.
Good luck--and q good
straight back for junior.

Road Problems

OF justfiable concern in the Columbia Falls
is the situation where not of the county's
permanent road lives in this
munity. In mid-January there were Is men
ployed
Fortunately this has been mild winter. Fur
thermore the county has excellent, grader
for road maintenance and blowing snow located in
Columbia Falls. The who operates this grader,
Willis Vance, does good job
Drawback is that he must drive up from Kali
ispen to the county owned quonsetl garage here
before he start work. The man is entitled to
travel time and receives it. In Of bad storm,
there's difficulty getting the driver to his pillow.
Flathead county commissioners were contacted
by Columbia Falls Chamber of Commerce the
situation JAM 81, and the commissioners are in
terested in seeing county road man live here.
Furthermore the commissioners have arranged
with the city OF Columbia Falls to help maintain
the road to the aluminium plant which along with
the LaSalle highway is likely the most used county
road in the F1athead.
It is in the public interest that at least one of
the county road men become local resident We
hope this can be achieved by next fall. MR.

Without Pau

Next week Columbia Falls will elect mayor
six councilmen, police judge and city treasurer.
Citizens will decide questions of fluoridating
the municipal water supply and angle parallel
parking as at present in the business district.
Before the election it is good time to point out
that Columbia Falls does not pay its mayor or coun-
cilmen single dime in wages or expenses
These gentlemen meet on the average of twice
month on city business. The present mayor and
council have been faithful to their responsibility
We may disagree with them at times, but there is
reason to question their sincerity and service
Over in Whitefish the mayor is paid 81 200 a
year and the councilmen $12 meeting not to ex-
coed $24 month"; according to l. O. Graft, city clerk
We also checked with Howard Hunt, Kalispell
city clerk, and find that the mayor recently had a
salary increase from $4,000 to $500 a year, and
that the councilmen slated to have wage jump
from $50 to $75 month.
We do not view the situation in Columbia Falls
fattering to the candidates in the interests of
democratic government when there is only can
didate for mayor two candidates for two positions
as aldermen in the largest ward, three candidates
for two positions in Ward l and also 8, and one
candidate each for police judge and treasurer.
Naturally one expects some of the office to be
unopposed, but ordinarily where citizens active
ly interested in government this is the exception.
In looking over the candidates for council, the
whole picture appears to be men who have the wis
dom of years, but comparative absence of young
and middle aged active in the business COM
munity. Some of both adds up to better government
Any fool can criticize, and often times proposed
solutions not practical.
We think, however, that Columbia Falls ha
passed the stage where men should be expected K
donate time steadily to city government Th
small city has receipts including taxes, waite
collections and housing project revenues of abou
100000 a year, according to F. P. Fleming cit,
treasurer. In addition there are special improvement
bonds.
It doesn't fair, and certainly it is not il
the interests of good government, to expect muc
service from mayor and council for nothing, bu
the honor, glory and the criticism. MI

when it comes to payrolls, and progress has been
made in the other phases.
If the city this year will see as many new
homes as built moved in during 1858, it
will be fine year The assessed valuation largely
the basis of new residences, went up % per cent
Last year, largely result of uncertainty created
by the strike, saw comparatively few homes.
One practical approach to the housing problem
seems to be public meeting The first OF possibly
a series, was slated for Wednesday.
There's positive approach in Columbia Falls
Chamber of Commerce inviting real estate men,
bankers builders, businessmen, plant operators and
future home owners to meet in public discussions,
that each better understands problems that face
the other.
We know there is demand for new housing
Objective is to achieve this phase of community
growth, and everybody is helped as we work to-
gether Mr.

Urges Caution In
Choosing Seeds
by w. w. Mauritson
county extension agent

KALISPELL - Last week we
saw field that had come out from
the snow all nice and green. It re-
minded us that planting time Is
closer than we think, with all the
snow we see around.
Planting time brings us back
to an old familiar story-plant
recommended varieties.
The recommended varieties are
the ones the experiment stations
have under many varying condi-
tons of soil, fertility and mois-
ture found to be the best yielders.
It's about this time of year that
the itinerant peddler comes around
with his new varieties. He just
happens to have 80 bushels of this
seed left and will sell it for only
50 bushel-or is this an old var
iety dug up from King Tuts tomb.
Chances are that the first one is
now and for the area where it was
bred may be excellent. Chances
are also, that Yves Roath and Vern
Stewart have tried it out in their
work at the experiment station
and found it lacking for our con-
ditions.
Here's the list recommended by
the Montana Experiment Station
for spring seeded crops.
Oats-Park Cots of seed this
year,, Bridger, Gopher.
Barley-Vantage (only. few
bushels left-should be enough III
1866 for everyone who wants it)
Titan, Campana.
Spring Wheat-Pilot and Ceres
Alfalfa-Ranger, Cossack, La
dak.
Bromegrass-Lincoln.
