The Western News Published Every Thursday by the Western Montana Publishing Com pany, Incorporated. CHAS D. ROWE, Editor and Manager. Entered at the postoffice at Libby, Lin coln County, Montana, as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES; 1 year, $2.00—6 months, $1.25 Single Copy 5c Member: National Editorial Association and Montana State Press Association SHOULD BE GIVEN BIG APPROPRIATION. The public works bill enacted by congress provides $400,000,000 for high way construction. Announcement of the apportionment of this sum various states was made last week. Of this amount Montana gets $7,439,748. The chief purpose of the public works enactment Is to provide work for men unemployed and thereby help to lift the depression. With this object certain stipulations are laid to the in view, down that must be met in part or in whole by projects to be financed by this money. It is interesting to observe that the Kootenai Falls project on the Libby Troy-State Line highway meets a number of these stipulations, as fol lows: It is a federal aid highway outside ■of a municipality. Jts completion would help in the closing up of a gap in the federal aid system. It would be the widening of a narrow and dangerous highway. It would provide work for a number of men who are now without labor. To those could be added many other factors that Should place this project in line for the immediate starting of construction. Surveys are all completed, contrac tor's bid has been accepted and the contractor is ready to move onto the job. work is being taken away from local men by the establishing in this dis trict of C. C. C. forest camps. This project would help to set right that injustice by providing labor to men who nee d i t b adly . ~ The Kootenai Falls project is a vital part of federal highway No, 2 which is one of the two most important high ways across the state. Of 140 pdd miles that are uncom pleted on this highway over 90 miles of it are in Lincoln county. Previously $150,000 had been appro priated for this work, largely in order that relief might be provided for men out of work. For one cause or another that work has not been done and the unemployed in this district have suf fered accordingly. Viewed from every angle of reason and right, this project should be given a large appropriation from the million dollars that Montana has ob tained for highway construction. In certain parts of the state stand ardized roadsr—far better than seven any thing we have in this section—are be ing tom up and rebuilt while we con tinue to ride over the rocks and ruts. . 1 * i k»i d ^ — s.

In other instances, better roads than we have are being entirely abandoned and highways over new routes con structed at heavy expense merely to give a "better" highway, and we are still asked to ride over the rocks and ruts. Every year thousands of dollars of gas money go out of Lincoln county into the state highway fund and still wait for our highways to be com we pleted. Out of this seven million dollars this district should at least be given a continuing project that would close up the gap between Libby and the Idaho line. And it wouldn't be too much to ask for completion of the other un finished stretches on highway No. 2. AMERICA IN A BLOODLESS REVOLUTION. The thoughtful person who has kept somewhat in touch with social trends for the past 10 or 15 years easily real izes today that the nation is in the mids' of a bloodless social revolution. The movement has been facing toward a new social order for a number of years and the depression has given it added momentum. Just what the outcome will be no one is wise enough at the present time to say. But that this nation is to witness drastic changes in social organization is now generally accepted. William Alien White, famous Kansas editor, reporting^ the world economic ^conference from Londbn, recognizes this condition and said in a recent dis patch: "It is becoming more obvious every day as President Roosevelt's domestic program is understood here that we are going into a mild form of sugar-coated fascism, that industry is passing out of individ ual control and that Great Britain and the United States are doing under threat of bankruptcy what , Russia did through a bloody revo lution—socialize industry and capi tal. The successful "socializing" of in dustry and capital requires brains of the highest order and an honesty and • v . integrity that cannot be swayed by personal considerations. If America can accomplish such a drastic révolu tion as the socialization of industry and capital without the usual spilling of much blood, it will speak volumes for our form of govennent. Hereto fore, too often the common man has had to fight through years of blood shed to obtain more justice for him self. If today a better order of society can be worked out through peaceful revolution, the American form of gov ernment will have successfully passed a supreme test. And some of the best thinkers of today are confident the United States will meet that test in a manner worthy of her past attain ments, - Two Type* of Topas There is a true or precious topaz and also quartz topaz.
