TWO new TAX BILLS INTRODUCED

suspended In addition thereto, it also
provides that general laws may be en-
acted providing for the taxation of the
income of all moneys invested Except
in United States bonds where by express
contract the owner of said moneys re-
ceiYeS a fixed rate of interest money CT
other compensation for the use and hire
of said money. And it makes the fur
theT provision that not to exceed Is per
cent of such income shall be taxed. This
is a radical change from the provisions
of our present law, and seems to be
the only practical solution for the diff
Guilty that has stared US in the face for
many years-that is how to tax money
investments and mortgage and other
loans in such manner as to draw 1t Ous
Of hiding, gee it on the tax rolls, and
at the same time not Grlve capital out
from the state This does away with the
taxation of mortgages and all securities
bear interest. It will not include open
accounts, but leaves them to be taxed
as at present or offset by debts of equal
amount. Moneys simply left on deposit
will be taxed as other property but
when invested, as above provided, the
income only shall be taxed. The maxi
mum rate of taxation as provided can
not exceed Is per cent of the income.
Thus, if a man is receiving 4 per cent on
his money loaned out, l per cent Of it
will be taken from him as a tax; or if lie
receives s per cent on his investment,
per cent Of the. same will be paid as
taxes upon the fund This figure 6G
Is per cent is the maximum rate, and the
legislature, by enactment. can modify
the same"
Section / also provides for a. tax upon
incomes exceeding $500 Ter annum, de-
rived from the gross earnings of per-
sons engaged in industrial professional
and skillful work. and limits the amount
of the tax to 1 per cent of the gross
amount of such incomes. Thus, if man
is earning $1,000 per year; he will lie
taxed $40 for such income
THE proposed constitutional amend
ments We're somewhat hurriedly prepar-
ed, and may be defective but the at
tempt was made to limit the classif
cations specifically by the act sc that fu-
ture legislators would not be furnished
with the problems OF trying to enact fair
ana equal tax laws, with overwhelming
and clashirg demands for favorable leg
islation for one class of interests to the
detfiment of others. And this bill was
presented with an earnest desire to have
it lay the foundation for some consti-
tutional amendment to be enacted that

Code Has Some Good Features.
The code recommended by your COM
mission has undoubtedly some good fea-
lures; 1t displays an ingenuity worthy of
a better cause. If. however, the expert
ence of 1000 Years isaWorth anything, we
can confidently predict that your code,
if adopted, will also break down Your
own commission, on page Z, says: "It has
long been the policy Of this state, as we'll
as of many other states, to tax mort
cages and other forms Of credit. Long
experience has demonstrated that such a
law can at best be but imperfectly en-
forced. Students Of taxation, with scarce
ly an exception, denounce it. as fallaciouS
in principle and fruitful source of i'm
this, but one reason is evident. Good
railroad bonds and guaranteed stock sell
at prices which do not take into account
any taxation of the security. Untaxed,
they produce an income OF less than
per cent, and Sometimes little more
than 8 per cent 1t is obvious that no
man will submit to taxation on such Sc
curities without struggle. He feels that
income confscated and behaves as any
man would when held up by a highway
mamie feels that any defense he can
interpose is legitimate. 1t is supremacy
There is -manifestly g. widespread and
we'll founded sentiment that the law is It
self unjust In its attempts to subject GER
tain classes Of personal property to taxa
ton. No law can successfully be en-
forced which is repugnant to a peoples
sense of Justice
AS to second Proposition.
second-You may adopt the commits
sion's code and the amendment to the
constitution as well.
If you decide to adopt the amendment
to the constitution 1t would certainly be
unnecessary and unw1se to adopt the
code. BY doing so you will confuse the
issue before the people and imperil the
adoption of the amendment. If you adopt
a new code some will doubtless desire to
give it a, trial and refuse at this time to
make q change in the organic law. With
the constitution amended as proposed by
the commission, the legislature will be
freed from the restrictions now imposed
upon them and will DOUBTLESS soon make
changes which the commission says are
necessary for a rational tax system. The
adoption of the code. no matter how we'll
1t may be devised to carry out the pres
ent constitutional mandates, will fnevita-
bly, lead to litigation to determine it's con-
struction. The meaning of the best law
ever framed has never been definitely
known until 1T has been construed by the
courts and this law will not only be no
exception to the rules, but, because of its
stringent provisions, will probably lead
to an unusual amount of litigation.
On page your commission says: $50

INCORRlGlBLE.
Young West Side Boy Examined by
Juoqe Smith,

Young West Side Boy Examined by
Juoge Smith.
Ferdinand Nordine, a Is year old
boy, was up before Judge Smith
Wednesday on charge of incorrigi-
bility. Peter Frisk, who claimed to
be the boys father, was the COM
planning witness, and told of the vari-
Gus misdeeds of his erring son. 1t
developed during the examination
that in the locality where the boy
lives there is a gang of young hood
lums who for some time past have
been terrorizing the locality and MAX
ing themselves a general nuisance.
After hearing the testimony, and
the boy promising to be good here
after, the judge dismissed him with
the warning that if complaint was
made against him in the future, he
would order him confined to the re-
form school without a further trial.
The judge also notified him that it
was his intention to break up the
gang of hoodums on the west side if
ne had to send ali the boys to the re-
form school to do so.

POISONING Doos,

A dog poisoner, that most despica-
BILE of creatures, has been getting in
his work in this city this week and
as result the owners of a number of
fine CANNES are mourning the deaths
of their pets. While it is true that
kalispell has more than it's share of
worthless ours that should be shot,
there are many thoroughbred dogs in
the city, and, as usual when a dog
poisoner is about, it is the latter that
Is killed, while the former escapes.
Several dogs belonging to parties on
the east side were poisoned this
week, and, as result, there are
lamentations deep and loud.

Basil Matt, the enterprislng half
breed from the Flathead reservation.
who eloped with his aunt and men
stole one of his uncle's best horses
to escape on, was captured at Brown
ing with his dusky inamorita Thurs
day and brought TO kalispell. Aneas
Joseph, his partner, who aided in the
adventure, was caught at the same
time.
Deputy Sheriff O'Neill, who started
in search of the trio as soon as it
was learned that the horse
was stolen, made the capture. He
left for Browning Wednesday night,
on information from the conductor
of No. that the party had gotten off
there, and succeeded in rounding up
his victims with very little trouble.
Their speedy capture took all the
nerve from the men and, after being
confined to the county Jail over night,
they signified their intentions of
pleading guilty yesterday morning,
and on doing SO when brought before
Judge Smith, they were each SEN
fenced to one year in the penitentiary
Mrs. Ogden, who eloped with her
nephew is being held until some &C
ton is taken by her husband, but it
is probable that she will be released
without suffering any further pun
ishment for her escapade.
All the parties concerned are half
breeds residing on the Flathead res
ervation. Joe Ogden is we'll known
throughout that section and the affair
has created decided sensation.
Basil Mats is nephew of Ogden,
and becoming infatuated with his
aunt, Mrs. Ogden, the two laid their
plans for an elopement. To do so, it
was necessary to secure horses to
reach this city, from where, accord
ing to their plans, they would take
the train for the Blackfoot reserva-
ton. Not being able to secure two
horses, they compromised on one, and
taking a cayuse belonging to Ogden,
they both mounted the trusty steed
and struck out for Kalispell.
After arriving here, they hunted up
purchaser for the animal and at
last succeeded in selling it to Under
Sheriff Tharriault The price paid
was so cheap that the officers suspi-
cions were aroused that something
was wrong, and he subjected them to
a close examination of how they
came into possession of the animal.
Mrs. Ogden claimed the horse and
said that she had raised it and that
the brand was her own. AS she also
claimed to be MATHS wife and all
seemed straight, the officer determ-
ined to make the purchase, but at the
/ same time to keep the couple under
surveillance. By doing so, he saw the
party leave for the east on No. 4.
Tuesday one of Ogden's employees,
together with an Indian policeman,
reached Kalispell from the reserva-
ton, and calling at the sheriff's office,
| told of the theft of the horse and the
following elopement. From the de-
scription of the horse and the parties
implicated, Under Sheriff Therriault
knew that his fears had been we'll
grounded and telegraphed to the con-
ductor of No. 4, asking where the
| party had gotten off.
Acting on the reply, Deputy Sheriff
| ONeill went to Browning and made
the arrest

The problem of securing quarters
for the school children for next year
is already attracting the serious at
tention of the educational authorities
The present quarters are entirely in
adequate to accommodate the pupils
even at the present time, and if the
school population increases as rapidly
during the coming year as it did dur
ing the past year, many outside
rooms must be secured. 1t is esti-
mated that there are fully 1000 chill
dren of school age in Kalispell at the
present time. Next year there will
be 20 teachers or more while at pres
ent there are only u, so it can be
readily seen that the question of Sc
curing school rooms is one that
should receive the serious attention
of the trustees.
