ONLY FOUR DAYS
FOR LEGISLATORS
TO Do BUSINESS
Revenue and Appropriation
Bills and Corporation Tax
Not Passed Yet.
SENATE EXPECTED
TO HOLD TO STAND
VIII Not Accept House Bills
Legislators Don't Pre-
dict Extra Session.

(By W. q. Ferguson. Staff Core
spondcnt)
Helena. Feb. 25,-Revenue appropra-
tion measures and senate bills are to be
put through with all possible speed by
the house during the few days remain
ing of the 6O-day session Good
progress was made during the past
two days on these bills and the senate
will have some of these measures to
begin work on tomorrow. 1t is under
stood that the revenue bill--so- called
will meet with considerable hard
luck when it reaches the senate Some
of the members of that body are firm
in the belief that it can be amended
there. but. as far as that is concerned,
there were some who did not believe
that a three quarters of one per cent
tax on corporations would be passed
by the house as substitute for a mine
tax.
Four Days Left.
Only four days remain before the
close of the session and it would re-
quiro rapid work for the senate to
amend the measure, get it to the house
in such shape that ii would pass and
then put it through before the CO. day
limit expires. If one may draw an
inference from the vote in the house
there is absolutely no chance that a
Il ,n T., ,1,r
revenue measure would be supported
and the senate's atction will consc-
quently be awaited with much interest.
Senate to Stand.
The general opinion is that the sen
ate is to stand pat on its declaration
not to accept any bills from the house
| except those making appropriations
and providing for the raising of reve-
nuc. OF course. should the upper
| body finish its work on these measures
| the remaining time would probably be
which the house deems most impor-
| tant, but as four days only remain
there does not seem to be much chance
| that the senate will take manys bills
| besides the ones enumerated. This
! action will not in any way affect these
| measures which have been sent over
to the house by the senate. such as
| the general highway law. fish and
game law and others of this character
| Although there has been much talk
of an extra session. there are not many
| of the legislators who believe this
