May Use Voting Machines.

HELENA, Jan. 29.-To prepare for
coming elections and to carry out the
provisions of the act passed by the
last legislature, the Estate voting
machine commission" has perfected
an organiz alton. Governor Joseph
X. Toole is chairman of the board,
and State Auditor II. Il. Cunningham
has been chosen secretary. The other
member is Secretary Of State Ioder.
The law requires that these machines
shall be approved TO days before
their use It the polls. 1t is not I'M.
likely that the commission will ap.
prove several classes Of machines
from which the different counties can
make selections.
According to provisions of the act
it is mandatory that these machines
shall be adopted by first class coun.
ties. At present Silver Bow is the
only county in that class. There are
than 70 precincts in that county
but it is permissible to combine some
of the precincts, so that only about 81
machines will be needed. In all other
counties, by the provisions Of the law,
the use of the machine is optional. but
1t is presumed that their successful
use in different parts of the country
will lead to their general adoption in
Montana.

linquish the duties of chief executive
of Montana, Governor Toole gave a
brief sketch of the progress made by
the commonwealth during the past
twenty years, his review being to this
effect:
81 behold a great sovereign state
aourishing in this mountain land
where less than twenty years ago
local self.government was but a
dream. A capitol building of noble
proportions and superb appointments
has been erected, untouched by the
breath of scandal, out of the proceeds
of a federal land grant practically
without cost to the state. A soldiers
home, ational, charitable, re.
formatory and penal institutions un.

numbers and adequate in equipment
for many years to come, are among
the monuments of the generosity and
progress of our citizens, and yet the
rate of taxation for state purposes
has never exceeded q mills.
