TAXPAYERS LEAGUE MEETS.

For the purpose of organizing a
"Taxpayers' League" a meeting was
held at the court house Wednesday
afternoon, with about thirty present.
Dan Mckay read the call issued and
stated the purpose for which the
meeting was called, this being to take
a greater interest in the affairs Of
a public nature, especially as relates
to our expenditures of public money.
Mr.. Mckay pointed out that as a
county, our cost of operation exceeded
that of other counties in Montana
having much larger assessment rolls,
and where, in the very nature of
things, they should be less.
Nearly all present were called upon
to express their ideas as to the need
of such an organization, and how to
best proceed.
A temporary organization was per-
fected, with the following as offic-
ers and committees:
Dan Mckay, chairman, w. w.
Woodbridge, secretary, and Messrs
seknan, Woodbridge and Mckay as a
committee to draft constitution and
bylaws.
This committee was, in addition
asked to study similar conditions and
organizations elsewhere and report
at subsequent meeting.
John Willis called attention to a
constitutional amendment to be vot-
ed upon at the fall election, except
ing the first $500 personal taxes on
new homesteaders or homebuilders
calling attention to the hardships in
cident to such people just getting q
start in life, and the need of some
such exception; that in Canada even
greater exceptions were allowed. That

GUIDE POSTER FOR HIGHWAYS

Every east and west highway and
all state roads diverging from them
throughout Montana and other west
ern states, will be marked by guide
posts Of certain color, according to
A. l.. Meigs of Minneapolis, repre-
senting the American Trail Blazing
association, who is now in Montana.
1t is planned to give each highway
certain color and to place guide
posts along the roads at stated inter-
walls in order that tourists may know
what route they are taking simply by
the color displayed on the guide post.
This plan has been adopted in other
states, particularly those of the mid
die west, and will be inaugurated in
the Treasure state as soon as the
roads are in condition for the trail
blazing auto used in the work.
The red and white trail has already
been marked through Glasgow, and it
is probable this same color scheme
will be used in the new trail book.
There are two trans-continental
highways in Montana, one of which
follows closely to the Great North
ern, and the other in the same gen.
eral direction as the Northern Paci-
fic. One highway will have some dis
tinctive color and the other will have
guide posts of a different color.
: The association will put out guide
books which will be distributed to
automobile tourists in order that the
key to the various road colors can be
easily secured.
In addition to the east and west
roads those to the north and south
will be plainly marked so tourists
can reach the state capital or other
, divergent points from the main route.
