Tax Inquiry.
0URTH WEEK OF
SESSION is OPENED
What Has Been Accomplished
by the Lawmakers at
the Capital.

Special to the Post.
Helena, Jan. 22.-The Fifteenth
legislative assembly today entered
upon the fourth week of its ses-
sion. Little work was done today.
The senate did not get under way
until after 2 o'clock and the lower
house was also delayed in getting
down to business.
1t was reported at the state house
today that the committees to which
had been left the inquiry into taxes of
mines and certain other classes of
property will ask for more time in
which to report. The house committee
was instructed to conclude its investi-
CATION by Jan. %, which is next
| Thursday. 1t is not believed possible
for it to make a final report by that
time. only a few witnesses have been
examined or persons heard and some
of the phases that should be included
in an investigation of this kind have
not been touched.
Apparently there is no disposition
! to restrict the committee unless the
deiayJ should be long drawn-out and
| IL Isl expected that the house viii
give II more time Though the records
show the Fifteenth assembly can ba
credited only with the passage of three
bills appropriating $le0,000 to pay its
own expenses the statement is not quite
fair to the assembly, for a number Of
| minor bills have gone through the legis-
! lative mills and this coming week will
likely be ready for submission to the
governor. The fourth bill will probably
go to the governor late today, only the
signatures of the presiding officers OF
senate and house being needed. This is

| The Fifteenth assembly is making just
| as good progress as did the Fourteenth
of two years ago, II the number of bills
reaching the governors office Is an index.
The senate as usual, Is well up with
/ its work, and each day il does in 40
minutes what the house fails to do in
I three hours The reason is because the
house has frittered way its time on mat
ters not pertaining TO legislation. The
