With M0ntQna's Lawmakers
Review Of the Past Week in the Fifteenth
Session of the Legislature

Helena. Mont, Jan. 11.-Even in it's
early days the fifteenth session of the
Montana state Legislature gives prom
Use of becoming one of the most noted
law making bodies in the history of
the state. Indications are that there
will be more progressive legislation
and more measures passed in the in
terest of efficiency and economy than
ever before.
In the early stages the republicans
of the senate make overtures to the
democratic members to work on
non- partisan basis for the welfare of
the state and in the interest of eff
cheney and economy. This action was
followed few days later by meet
ing of the republican members in both
the houses in caucus which decided
that the recommendations of the gov
ernor's message on economy should
be carried out and it was decided to
send to him letter asking him as to
what officers and bureaus may be
eliminated and what ones consolidated
in interest of efficiency and economy.
The letter was sent by the house by
unanimous vote and now the men,
bers are waiting on reply from the
governor. 1t is up to him to tell
where to cut and then republicans are
going to make the cut.
Republicans Demand Economy
The consistency of the republicans
in their demands for economy was
shown last Friday when Senator
Brewer introduced bill providing for
a change in the department of
weights and measures doing away
with the deputies and making the
auditors in larger counties and the
clerks in smaller counties the deputy
sealers of weights and measures. A
similar bill was defeated last session
through the influence of the state ad-
ministration The shoe is on the other
foot now. The deputies are republi-
cans, named by the new secretary OF
state. So to show their consistency
the republicans started at home in

uate nurses and protecting the sick.
Senator McCone has introduced a
bill making the automobile tax 81 per
year and providing that one-half of
the money collected shall be turned
over to the county where the auto is
used for the benefit of the road fund.
Some idea of the character of the
legislation to be expected may be
gathered from the notices of bills to
be introduced, which have been pre-
sented in both houses. These notices
include bills providing for state insur-
ance of public buildings, bonding of
public officials by the state, revision of
the primary law, constitutional con-
vention to revise the fundamental law
of the state, dividing state into con-
gressional districts, establishment of
terminal elevators, creating local op-
tion herd law, protecting crops against
hail by state insurance, dividing coun-
ties into commissioner districts, re-
vlslng the civil and penal codes of
Montana which were last revised in
1907, providing for registration of
land titles under Torrense land law,
regulating hours of employment for
women, providing income tax, and on
other important matters. When it is
considered that the session is scarcely
one week old this line of bills shows
that it is going to be not only busy
60 days for the legislators but an
epoch making assembly.
Tax Legislation Important
That the matter of taxation and
raising revenue, especially the ques-
tion Of mine tax, is going to play
an important part in the deliberation
of the body is proved by the action of
the senate, when it instructed the re-

their retrenchment plan.
That the members of the present
legislature are here for business and
not for play is shown by the fact that
in the senate the republican commit
tee on employees have selected all the
employees from the standpoint of
competency and as a result has kept
the number of clerks down to a mini
mum and far below the number en-
ployed two years ago. In the house
there has been a scrap for nearly a
week over the matter Of employees
Republican Floor Leader Ronald Hig-
gins is making a strenuous effort to
keep off useless employees, the result
of his efforts being curtailment that
has saved the state considerable and
resulted in the employment of more
efficient help.
Many Senate Bills
In the senate up until Wednesday
morning there had been eleven bills
introduced. To Senator A. J. Brewer
of Missoula county goes the distinc-
tion of having introduced the first
three bills. No. provides for max
imum rate of interest of 10 per cent.
No. is designed to correct the lobby
evil, do away with lobbyists and their
activities, which in former sessions
have greatly interfered with the work
of the members. No. 3 is the bill on
changing the weights and measures
act.
Senator Edwards of Rosebud coun-
ty has given notice of lobby act that
has for it's design the same purpose
and has introduced bill that will aid
Legislative committees in their work,
requiring that all witnesses must take
an oath. Senator Edwards has also
introduced bill providing for the
establishment of public markets in
the county seats of all of the agricul-
tural counties, thus presenting a
place where producer and consumer
may meet.
Senator Amin has introduced bill
regulating the registration Of grad

SPECIAL TRAIN
TO- BIG CARNIVAL
Montana Will Be Well Adver-
tised at st. Paul Celebration
MANY LOCAL PEOPLE GOING
Arrangements Being Made to Get
Special Car for Glasgow Delega-
ton. DIR. Hoyt in Charge

"Make 1t Hotter One" is the slo-
gan of the 1917 Winter Sports Car
nival which will be held in St. Paul
next month.
Every effort is being made to carry
out the slogan and if real pep" and
enthusiasm count for anything, this
years joy-fest will be even better than
the one last year, which attracted ma
tion-wide attention.
People from all over the United
States will attend, and it is the hope
and desire of the promoters to make
it the Mardi Gras of the North.
Montana, with her usual progress
sive spirit, is planning on sending a
special train to the carnival. Ac-
cording to Mr.. w. S. Herman, an off,
cial of the Great Northern, who was
in the city Monday, this special will
be one of the finest ever run on this
road There will probably be two cars
from Great Falls, one from Kalispell,
one from Havre, and possibly one
from here. People from other towns
will be assigned to other cars.
DR.. NJ. D. Hoyt of this city is one
of committee of three who are
boosting and making arrangements
for this special, and number of To-
cal people have already signified their
intention of going. Special costumes
will be worn by the Montana delega-
ton and that they will advertise Mon
tana and it's cities is not a guess but
certainty.
Tickets will be on sale from Janu-
ary Gath to January 29th and special
rates may be obtained. The tickets
will be good to return on February
22nd, the round trip fare from Glas-
gov being $31.12. There will prob
ably be enough to go from Glasgow
to get special car.
