Montana News
MAY PAY TAXES
IN ADVANCE
Big Montana Concerns Ask
ed to Come Across With
Taxes at Once.

Helena, Mont, Feb. At is pos
sible that the Anaconda Copper Min
ing company and other big concerns
in Montana will pay their license
taxes to the state Of Montana at once
SO as to obviate the necessity of the
state withdrawing deposits from
county banks sorely needed by those
institutions if they are not to tighten
credit that has been extended to the
farmers.
State Treasurer Hart has returned
from Butte, where he took the mat
ter up with officials of the Anaconda
company and explained the reasons
why he made the request. While a
definite answer has not been given,
Mr.. Hart is sanguine that the big
company will take this action to aid
the rural districts.
The license money is not due until
June, but if the Anaconda II some
others of the big mining concerns will
pay in advance, a total Of half a mill
lion dollars will Immediately be
available.
The state treasurer has on deposit
in 317 banks outside of Helena a total
of $3,41O,714. Because of last years
~unfavorable season the banks were
unable to liquidate or the majority of
their loans, and unless the big COM
panies pay their license taxes in adj
vance, the state will be forced to ur-
tail it's deposits in all the banks SO as
to meet it's own. obligations.

tails relating to the collection of

TO predict that they, at least, will vel
