Highway Gets $40 Million
Federal Aid >Shof-In-Arm'

Montana allotment for Interstate
work was based upon the lag in
completion Montana shows in COM
parison to the rest of the states in
the total thirteen-year program
which began in 1856.
Early estimates show that the IL
financial districts of the state will
be able to raise the matching funds
required. Two districts have NO In
terstate routings. Only one district,
in the Shelby area, is presently broke,
according to Highway officials. The
first 10 months of next year will be
free of the hue and cry for matching
funds.
Montana must provide $3.50 per
cent matching money for the Inter-
state and 1916 per cent for the
primary and secondary systems.
The road planning section of the
department is caught short of per-
sonnet by this sudden influx of
money, but will not be the bottle
neck that the shortage of right-of-
way purchasing personnel will cause.

The Highway Department rushed
to the financial oculists Monday
morning for a new fitting as result
of the allotments allowed by the
Washington, d. c. Bureau of Public
Roads for Montana during the next
fiscal year. The old horn trimmed

opia caused by the contract control
regulations requiring competition be-
twixt the states for federal funds

in style in the face of doubled quotas.
This year so millions in federal
funds are being spent by the depart
mnt. About 20 million are going to
the Interstate program.
Next year $50, 1928, 900 of federal
funds will assist the Highway De-
partment's construction program. The
Interstate program will have $780,
638,000 pumped into the super road
ways with their nettlesome problems
of controlled access and completes
of clover leaf structures. Thus the
Interstate program will be doubled
while the primary, secondary and
urban programs remain at the some

Jones, Helena motel operator,
contends that the 1857 law, which
requires the Highway Commission to
pay for rs per cent of the cost of
relocating utility lines from present
highways to new highway locations,
is unconstitutional.
A DOOR OPENER,
ga donation is a donation-wheth-
err it is good-or bad-it serves the
same wonderful purpose" said Hooks
in final summation. This "blank
check law is a door opener for other
costs to be piled onto the rising costs
of highway construction.
cit may well be the opening
wedge to inflict the costs of lost
business by firms disrupted by the
construction of new roads.
"The garden club ladies'" said
Hooks, "could reasonably demand
that grass and suitable blossoms be
planted in the barrow pits" Hooks
also pointed out that every dollar
saved by the state meant nine dol
lars more spent on highway construc-
ton.
The utility companies brief made
quite a point of the increase in rates
that would be required if highway
users didn't substitute their opera
tions.
CAN SECURE
THROUGH PSC
The question Hooks had asked the
court was to drive home the point
that the utilities had plenty of redress
by means of the Public Service Com
mission to get their profits from the
meters. 1t was not necessary for them
TO get handout of tax dollars from
he gasoline pumps.
Five other attorneys presented the
ease for the Highway Commission
md the four private utilities, seven
'ural telephone co-operatives and 20
electric co-ops.
In 1856 the Congress provided
hat utilities could be paid for re-
noval from highway right ways,
favorable legislation was en-
lcted at the state level.
The Montana Highway Commits
sion has been against this policy
since the days when Scott Hart
was highway engineer, but for the
purposes of this constitutional
question found themselves sided
along with the utilities.

Doggett Tells
Performers Sdfe
Travel Is Bus

New York (ANP) - The recent
death Of singer Jesse Belvin which
resulted from an auto accident
brought a suggestion from veteran
bandleader Bill Doggett that per-
formers should leave their private
cars at home when on tour and
travel in a bus.
Doggett, who's logged over $780,
900 miles in his 25 year career as
first a pianist for the Ink Spots
quartet, Louis Jordan's band and
now the nations top jazz organist,
owns his own $4,000 bus that's
outfitted with all the comforts of
home for himself and the seven
members Of his outfit. Portable
beds, TV, and travelling rehearsal
hall while they speed along the
highway are some Of the special
features that went into the re-
noVaLlon or MS DuS.
In his experience, the "Honky
Tonk" maestro said, he's found
that too many Of the young enter
tanners like to acquire high-power
cars which they drive themselves
after a hard nights work. Once
on the smooth highway they &C
quire fatigue and soon find drows-
mess overtaking them. Instead of
stopping on the side Of the road, he
added, they fight sleep and oftimes
this ends up with them either on
a slab in the morgue or fighting
for their lives in a hospital bed.

PmGRTM RAPTTsT

Sunday, March 8, was commun-
ion Sunday and the entire congreg-
alton seemed to have felt the true
significance Of Holy Communion
as exhibited by their response to
the service. Mr.. and Mrs. George
Bryant presented their daughter,
Cynthia Mae, for dedication. The
godparents are Mr.. and Mrs. W..
M. Freliz.
DR.. Massey spoke on the topic.
'"The Steadfast Face" His text
was from Luke 1851. The story
was told Of Jesus and his reaction
when the time arrived for Him to
make the Journey to Jerusalem,
and the inevitable fate that await
ed Him there. DR.. Massey pointed
I'D the strength Of character which
Christ exhibited, for He had to
overcome not only the evil plans
of His enemies but also the en-
treaties of His friends who felt
that He should stay with them.
The challenge was issued to all
of us to accept the cross and the
task which God has for US, and to
do His work regardless of the OPP
position, against US. Music for the
morning worship was by the Sem
Tor Choir, Gospel Chorus and Choir
al Group, with a special solo by
Mss Hazel Murray.
Next Saturday, March IL, the
Choral Group invites all to attend
a Chicken Dinner at the church,
beginning at II noon. ~

EBONY EDITORIAL
EXPLAINS HOW
QUOTAS AFFECT NEGROES

Chicago (ANP) - Quotas based
entirely upon racial percentages
would give the Negro a lot more
Of the thing he wants and a lot
less of what he wishes he never
had, says an editorial, THE Pros
and Cons of Quotas, in the March
issue of EBONY Magazine.
His IL per cent share in Amer
lean life would entitle him to 81
congressman, nine foreign diplo-
mats and a full cabinet member.
Quotawise, the editorial surmises,
the Negro would have to give up
some of his slums and give back
some Of his athletic stars. Frac-
tion-wise, the next US. president
just might be an octoroon.

LORRAINE HANsBERRY

there have been a number Of
speeches here in the Senate on the
missile gap.
81 refer tonight to another gap.
The gap between the pronounce
ments Of our Constitution and our
performance under it. 1 refer to
the gap between our preachments
on human dignity and our fulfill
ment and practice Of human dig
nifty. It seems to me that the gap
which threatens our democracy to-
day is not merely the missile gap,
but the gap between our perform
ance and our pronouncements on
human dignity and equality.
1T is this gap which represents
the real challenge to democratic
institutions.
Let us never forget that the
difference between the Communist
world and the free world is essent-
tally one Of human rights. The
difference between the Communist
world and the free world is not
one Of production. The difference
between the free world and the
Communist world is a difference
in spiritual values, human values,
the value OF the human being. It
is what we call the dignity Of the
human being possessing the God
given right Of his own personality,
Of his own mind, Of his own spirit.
I remind my colleagues that the
moral and ethical justification for
democracy is that God did create
man in his own image, and be-
slowed upon him certain inalien-
able matchmaking the right of
liberty.
