STATE TAX LAWS
May Be REVISED
recommendations for Changes
Are Agreed to BY Members
of State Commission.

Recommendations for important
changes in the tax laws of Montana
were agreed upon by the members of
the state board of equalization at a
joint session at Helena this week.
Whether these changes can be
brought about at the next session of
the legislature will depend upon the
construction that is placed on the state
constitution.
The abolition of the mortgage tax
is one of the most far-reaching
changes proposed. Under the present
laws the assessor goes to the records
and takes off a list of mortgages.
These are assessed to the mortgages,
If the mortgages happen to live out
side the state, which most of them
contrive to do, the tax can not be COL
lected.
Instead of taxing mortgages and
notes, as is now done, the commission
has proposed a registration tax on all
mortgage. No definite figure has
been fixed, but tentatively it has been
agreed that the fee shall be so cents
for each 500.
The question as to how to assess
money on hand or on deposit in a
bank has long been stumbling block.
The tax commission agreed that it
would recommend to the legislature
that law be enacted whereby money
be assessed 30 cents on the $1OO.
Public service corporations of Mon
tana are hereafter to be put on an
equal basis in the matter of paying
taxes. The commission has decided to
go to the books of the county assess
ors to get figures, so that all con-
Germs may be made to bear their just
share of the taxes.
Investigations of the assessment
rolls of the counties to get data for
fixing valuations for public service
corporations and also for other kinds
of property will begin about March l.
Another proposed innovation is the
creation of permanent tax commission
1t would have charge of the levyine
of taxes, the collection thereof and
would also to large extent be given
control of the expenditure of all state
moneys. The creation of the commits.
sion would carry with it the budget
system for carrying on the financial
business of the state.
The honor system of assessing is one
of the proposed changes on which the
tax commission is heartily agreed.
Under the present state tax laws nc
exemptions are allowed. The tax com.
mission and the state board of equal.
ization were both agreed that the law
should be changed so as to allow a
s100 exemption.
No further meeting will be held by
the tax commission until March /. Al
that time the draft of a bill to be
submitted to the next legislature will
! be presented.

WILL AFFECT ALIEN SOLDIERS

WILL AFFECT ALIEN SOLDIERS
The status of several thousands of
Poles, Hungarians, Bohemians and
others owing allegiance to Austria
Hungary, who are serving in the
American military forces, furnished an
embarrassing complication to the pre-
parations of the United States for a
declaration of war with the dual en-
pire. The problem is being discussed
by Secretaries Lansing and Baker, and
congressional leaders with view to
legislative action.
Upon passage of the war resolution
by congress, the Austro-Hungarian
subjects would technically become en-
emy aliens, ineligible for service with
the American colors, whether volun-
tarily enlisted or drafted.
Also under strict construction Of in
ternational law, if they remained in
American uniforms and were captur-
ed while bearing arms against the ma
tion to which they legally owe alle-
glance they might be subject to execu-
tion for treason without possibility of
protection from the United States.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The final 10
per cent of the drafted men will be
called October II.
The entire 6S7,000 men will be in

Soon approximately 100000 men
from the National army environments
will be transferred to National Guard
camps to recruit the militia to war
strength. A similar number of men
will be drafted to keep the National
army camps full. Instead of new
big draft it is likely a series of drafts
ranging from $4,000 up will be resort
ed to. These will keep the National
army camps full as various units sail
for France.
Meanwhile the provost marshal's Of
flee is concentrating to have the en-

summoned and modified an army of
6S7,000 within little more than three
months.
