GOVERNOR j0E'S
TROUBLES,
Hungry Office Seekers Are
After Him.
SOME FAT JOBS
To Give Out-State Examiner Gets
Four thousand a Year and
Expenses.

When Governor-elect Joseph *.
Toole. who is now in Chicago returns
to the state he will find that his
troubles have just begun, says the
Helena Record. He will have sew
enty appointive offices to give out,
including the greater proportion that
do not carry salary with them.
The applicants have already begun ID
lay their plans for the places. The
new governor has already been de-.
uged with petitions, and more are on
the way. Before he left the city,
it was said that the governor declined
to discuss his policy in maxim" an
pointments and to have declared that
he would announce none of then, until
the time came to fill .'.c Offices.
The best position the governor will
have on his list will b that OF state
examiner, which pays . salary Of
$4,000 year. with ira 'eling expenses
additional. The deputy state exam
iner draws $4,000. Tho commissions
er of the bureau of labor, agriculture
and industry is paid $1,000 and the
same salary is paid to the register
of the state land Office and the state
land agent. The mine inspector and
the state veterinarian, draw $2,5OU
and the state boiler inspector get
50 400. The commissioner of the
bureau Of agriculture has an assist
ant at $1,S00 year, and there is an
assistant mine inspector at Sc day
The adjutant general of the national
guard draws $1,000 a year. The prl
vate secretary to the governor gets
$2,4OO.
There are many other positions that
have some compensation beside the
honor of the appointment. The mem.
bers of dozen state boards are al.
lowed SIS per diem and mileage. The
capitol commission and the state
board of education are among that
class. The local boards of the vari

GIVEN THE LIMIT.
Charles Verona, Who Poisoned Cree
III. Indians, Gets Ten Years.

.... Indians, Gets Ten Years.
Butte, Nov. 26.-Judge Clancy sen
fenced Charles Verona to ten years
for manslaughter. Verona gave three
Cree Indians some wood alcohol,
which they drank, killing three of
them. M. P. Gilchrist, one of Yer
ona's attorneys made an earnest plea
to Judge Clancy for lienincy in behalf
of the prisoner, but it was about as
barren of results as it possibly could
have been.
Il feel that in this case the evil
dence was not sufficient to warrant
conviction" he said, "of course We
have our rights in the matter, we can
move for a new trial, but under the
circumstances | will ask the court
to set the verdict aside. In the
event of a refusal to do this. l will
request that sentence be made as
light as possible. Verona has been
in Jail nearly year, and in meas
ure has atoned for the offense."
Il do not view the matter in the
same light as you do" said the
Judge, 1.-The prisoner, l think had 4
fair trial. There was a question as
to part of the testimony the portion
relating to the allegation that Yer
ona tore the druggists tag mark
poison" from the demijohn, and mott
fed the Indian for whom he got the
alcohol that the liquid was poison.
The jury, however, concluded that
Verona did not notify the Indian of
the poisonous nature of the liquid,
and did tear the tag from the demi-
john. In the face of the verdict
feel it my duty to give the prisoner
the limit, and l will therefore sen
tence him, Charles Verona, to ten
years in the state penitentiary.

A Very Material Reduction
Will Be Made.
WILL HELP DRUGGISTS
Bank Checks, Deeds and Other Docu-
ments Will Be Exempt From
Stamp Tax.

A Washington special to the New
York Herald says: All proprietary
stamp taxes and many Of the docu-
mentary stamp taxes will be repealed
by the bill which the republican mem
bers of the house committee on ways
and means are engaged in framing.
1t has been learned that it has not
been the present intention to make
any reduction in the taxes on spirits,
fermented liquors or alcohol. Taxes
that it has been fully determined to
repeal are those in schedule of the
war revenue act, embracing the pro-
prietary taxes, amounting to about
$5,000,O00, taxes on kilograms and ex-
press receipts, amounting to about
$4,000, 900; legacy tax on bequests to
religious educational and charitable
institutions, roughly estimated at
$50O,0OO, and taxes on mortgages,
promisory notes, checks and drafts,
insurance policies and premiums,
warehouse receipts, certificates OF
various kinds, deeds and other docu-
mentary stamp taxes, except those on
stock exchange transactions.
| The cut in the documentary tax
schedule will amount to $5,5OO,O0O,
leaving about $5,500,OOO more to be
cut off to bring the total down to
$43,OO0,0OO. 1t is probably that this
will be brought about by the repeal
of other taxes ordered by the war
revenue acts on banks, bankers,
brokers, billiard tables, bowling al
leys, theatres, circuses and other
places of amusements.
Persistent efforts are still being
made to have beer and tobacco taxes
reduced, but they have not met with
success, and it is not likely that any
changes will be made. Efforts will
be made to have further changes in
the legacy taxes because legacies are
taxed under the laws of some states.
The excise taxes on petroleum and
sugar will probably be retained
The reductions are much heavier
than leading members of the ways
and means committee contemplated
before Secretary Gage stated that the
condition of the treasury was such
as to warrant material reduction.
Receipts from the war revenue act
for the first four months of the pres
ent fiscal year were $2S,3S9, 33s.

LABOR UNIONS.
In Proportion to Population Montana
Has Most.


Helena, Nov. 26.-According to the
report of Commissioner of Labor Cal
derheads report, which is being pre-
pared for the fiscal year ending Nov.
80, there are in the state 124 labor
unions with an active membership of
over $4,000. The exact figures are
not obtainable, but Commissioner
Calderhead thinks that $4,000 would
not be an exorbitant figure. In pro-
portion to the population these fig
ures show that Montana is the strong
est labor union state in the United
States. Butte has 81 unions; Great
Falls has 10; Anaconda 13; Helena
and Missoula 10 each. There are II
miners unions in the state. The loco.
motive firemen have 10 unions, and
the lumbermen have 8 unions. The
number and character of the labor
unions in the state are as follows

ONE THING LACKING.
No Truth in Story Concerning Late
Marcus Daily.

Anaconda, Nov. 26.-They have a
story in New York now to the effect
that Rev. Daniel Daily, of Tacoma,
Oswego county, is brother of the
late Marcus DAILY, but that for years
there had existed d feud between tit
two men, and they were as strangers,
to each other. About this was woven
sensational story which wound up
with the statement that the holy
father had received with tumble res
ignation the announcement that he
had been overlooked in Mr.. Daly's
will The story reads we'll and the
only thing wrong about it is that there
is not a word of truth to it. Marcus
Daily and Father DAILY were in no way
related and probably never knew each
other. Father DAILY did, however,
some years ago, have brother in
Butte, and Anaconda, named Thomas
DAILY. The latter married and re-
turned to Ireland where he died about
two years ago.

THE SILVER BOW JAIL BONDS.
In the Same Fix A. Flathead Court
house Bonds.

OOUSC 0VuAS.
The matter of the vote for bonds
for the erection of q new county Jail
was discussed at the meeting of the
county commissioners yesterday,
says the Butte Miner Only a few
more than one-tenth Of the voters
who took part in the recent general
election expressed their preferences
in the matter by marking their bal
lots, and nearly onehalf of this small
proportion voted against the propo-
sition. In the political code reA
garding loan elections there seems
seems to be a provision for special
elections, the following requirement
as to the result being set forth: 'If
a majority of the votes cast are in
favor Of the loan then the board may
make the loan, issuing bonds or Other
wise as may seem best for the coun.
ty." Section 4274 of the political
code.
Commissioner FvrrelI remarked
that if the law contemplates that
special elections are to be held to
present the matter Of bonds for pub
lie improvements to the people the
process would be very costly one,
and the expense incurred would make
a serious inroad upon the amount
raised by the sale OF the bonds. The
recent general election cost the cOun-
ty over $25,0OO, or about $1.50 for
each vote cast. A special election for
bonds only would be much less ex.
pensive, but the cost would be from
$500 to $4,000.
On the other hand, it was pointed
out, if the law requires that at gen
eral election a majority of all votes
must BE cast in it's favor in order t.
carry bond proposition, it would be
practically impossible ever to obtain
any result, as few voters at such q
time ever pay any attention to such
side issues as voting for bonds. A:
the recent election only 1916 elector;
out of 1922 expressed any prefer
ence in regard to the matter and the
majority in favor of the issuance o1
the bonds was only 1903.
The proposition has never beer
presented to the supreme court of the
state although it has come up sew
eral times in regard to school boari
elections. The commissioners will
call upon County Attorney Connolly
for an opinion in the matter. The
men who buy bonds, however, are
the autocrats of the situation, anC
are very slow to invest in the count,
paper unless it is backed up with {
favorable opinion as to legality from
the court of last resort.
