Importance of formulating
good reading habits at an
early age.
For a long, long time there
were no children's books. A
few short books and articles
had been written about chill
dren to teach them to be
obedient and respectful to
their parents, and to instruct
them in church customs.
Books for pleasure and enter
stainment of children such as
sLittle Women" Mrs. Wigs
of the Cabbage Patch" up
From Slavery" "Uncle Re
mus" and 'Penrod," were not
known at that time.
:. The widespread interest of
Ethe public in children's litera-
ature, especially that of Mr..
Matthews, Chief Scout Lii
=-brarian for Boy Scouts of
America, led to the passing
=of a resolution by the Ameri-
can Booksellers Association
in the spring of 1919, favor
ing the initiation of move
: ment that would give year
round attention to books for
boys and girls. The Ameri-
can Library Association gave
prompt support to this action
which led to the immediate
birth of Book Week.
The large number of chill
Sdren's books on the market
at present make it evident
that there will not only be an
Increased use of juvenile
books in the library, but also
in the home.
American m agaZi n e S,
books, newspapers, parent
teachers associations, and ad-
vertisements have united in
an effort to bring before the
minds of parents the enor-
NOUS value of reading good
books.
The child outside of the
library may be someone else's
problem, but once inside he
is. not only a problem but a
great opportunity. That OPP
portunity is to impress the
wonderful influence of books
on his growing mind. This
introduces the child to a
world of delight and never
ending pleasure where he can
make friends that will go with
him through life. The child
will learn that the library is
not a place to make mischief,
and destroy property, but an
open door of wide knowledge
with many doorways to lands
of make-believe.

KEEP AN EYE ON THESE

Word reaching THE VOICE is that
another move may be in the making
to introduce another anti-farmer coop
tax bill early in the 1857 session, quite
similar to HB 3SS of the 1851 legisla-
ture which brought upwards of 1000
aroused farmers into Helena from all
parts of the state. 1t may be another
march on Helena" will be in order
before the 35th Legislative Assembly
folds up its tent and goes home.
While on this matter of tax Iegisla-
ton, it will also be wise to keep a
sharp watch out for introduction of a
general sales tax bill. Certain power
full influences are repeatedly scared
stiff over prospects of the Legislature
acting favorably on Board of Equali-
zation proposals such as the ones to
eliminate the 'loopholes" from the
corporation license tax. These forces,
it seems, hope to so becloud the reve-
nue. scene that the boards proposals
will get lost somewhere in the legis-
lative mill.

close at hand, and, after a couple of
weeks he had me back on the road to

GTA Plans 125,OOO BusheI
Elevator at Cut Bank

CUUT BANK-The Farmers Union
Grain Terminal Association has ap
piled for Great Northern site on the
north side of the tracks here to build
new grain elevator, local GTA ele-
vatOT manager Norman Johnson con-
firmed last week.
Capacity Of the planned elevator
will be approximately 125,0O0 bushels.
Construction will begin as soon as
the site is approved by the railway
and the lease agreement completed.
The elevator will be located about
~ blocks east of North Central near
the GIN tracks, Johnson said. Plans
call for the elevator to be ready by
spring, if the site application is ap-
proved.

LUMBER LAGGING

Probably you've heard of the soft
ening" lumber market and the shutting
down of small mills in western Mon
tana due to the Administration tight
money" policy which has drastically
slowed home construction in recent
months. Talking to a World War III
vet over Drummond way the other
day | gained a closer look at what
this sagging market means to him and
many others engaged in 'gyppo" con-
tracing. To get in business-and stay
there-he had to scrape up every dol
lar he owned and go in debt heavily
to boot. He's in ''hock" to the tune of
100000 on his logging trucks and other
equipment needed to carry on his op-
GRAFTON, and, he's getting worried. If
the demand for lumber continues to
slip, he's in real trouble, and already
he sees the possibility that every
thing he's worked so hard to accumu-
late may be wiped out with one fell
sWoop of the creditors axe. Wonder
how many times this same story could
be repeated if one had the time to
contact other "gyppo" operators in
the northwest Montana timber indus
try?

Regulation

When property is used to interfere
with that fundamental freedom of life
for which property is only a means,
then property must be controlled. This
applies to the regulation of trusts and
railroads, public utilities and all the
big industries that control the neces-
sites of life. Laws regulating them,
far from being infringements on lib
erty, are in reality projections against
infringements on liberty-The late

Brandeis.

ALBERT kRUsE PROGRESSING

AS this is written wednesday, it
is our pleasure to report that Comm.
of Agriculture Albert Kruse is slowly
progressing toward recovery follow
ing a serious heart attack last Thurs
day. Albert, first as a legislator and
then as Commissioner of Agriculture
in both the Ford and Aronson Admin

of devotion to the welfare of Montana
people. In addition, he's a wonderful

Absolutely stunned, this afternoon
Thursday Montanans learned the Su
preme Court had denied Clarence Han
leys application for a recount.
The three to one decision with JUS
tices Davis, Angstman and Adalr con-
curing in the denial and Justice Bot
tomly dissenting, came as a shock Tor
number of reasons, the greatest be-
ing that people simply figure in race
as close as the Hanley-Loble race there
should be a recount.
would be willing to bet that if any
one of the justices who denied the
writ had been in a race where the
percentage was as close as the one
Hanley lost they would have wanted
recount.
This is one of those impossible
things that simply is. And it seems to
me that the ends of justice haven't
been very nobly served this afternoon.
The recount in Saltwater County
didn't change the outcome of the leg
islative race there except to increase
the lead of Jake Frank CD over his
opponent John Leuthold (R), but it
did bring forth some rather discOurag-
ing things.
For instance one entire precinct was
disallowed in the final count because
the ballots were not stamped Official
Ballot. A total Of about 1S7 ballots
were thrown out in that small county.
Nobody is blaming anyone but the
Editor of the Columbus paper will say
this week, There will be those people |
who will argue that LeuthOld was un-
fairly defeated and others who will
claim Frank would have won the con-
test in either event..
Is it possible we are putting too |
great a burden on election day on |
election officials? Could there be some
hing done to ease the job? The pres

over for returns and the long hours
hey are expected to count seems a
title primitive to me in this day and
