JOINS LEGION
Local Association Affiliates
With Big National Associa-
ton of Service Men.

Affiliation with the American Legion
was voted by the local Soldiers and Sail
ors' club at the regular semi monthly
meeting of the organization Monday eve
ming.
Changes in the constitution and laws
governing the local organization were
made in accordance with the require
ments of the big national organization
which was formed at the convention held
in ST. Louis several months ago upon
tbe call of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.
The purpose of the legion as set forth
in the preamble to the constitution is
to uphold and defend the constitution of
the United States; to maintain law and
order: to foster one hundred per cent
Americanism; to preserve the memories
of association in the great war; to in
culate sense of individual obligation
to the community, state and nation to
combat the aristocracy of both the classes
and masses; to make right the master
of might.
The local organization will be known
as the Great Falls post of the Ameri-
can Legion of Montana. Local officers

safety, one the public improvements.
And so, responsibility was fixed in each
case, not upon a whole council. each one
passing the buck" but upon a single
commissioner. the head of the depart
ment.
Thus we have the early history, very
briefly, of the plans which stand out as
the newest and best things in city gov
ernment today There are many ad-
herents to both plans, and with good
reason on both sides. But time is be-
ginning to tell, and. as will eventually
be shown. the one plan is beginning 70
nose out" the other, forging ahead q
little at & time in the public Judgment,
because of certain features which will
be pointed out at an early date.
"In Montana, our legislature has
provided US, the citizens. with an alter
native We have the right to choose
either the commission form, or the
managerial form of government. The
plans are both outlined in our statutes
In future discussions, then, of these
plans, we will confine ourselves, not to
| the general ideas back Of each plan
but to the specific plans allowed US
| by our statutes.
| I'm the very near future. if you watct
| for it, the two plans will be defined
| outlined, and compared. with each other
and with the present council plan.
Respectfully submitted

BUTTE MAY GO
Limit IN TAX
Former Treasurer Says Mining
County Will Probably Make
Levy of 16 Mills.

Great Falls and other large cities OF
the state will be forced to increase the
tax levy under the new assessment law
very considerably, in the opinion of John
J. Harrington of Butte, who served two
terms as treasurer of Silver Bow county,
completing the limit under the law last
spring. Mr.. Harrington is in Great Fails.
Silver Bow county will probably be re,
quired to increase its tax levy up to the
limit of Is mills to make revenues meet
expenses, in the opinion of Mr.. Harrlng-
ton. The state equalization board Is
meeting in Butte this week to determine
the condition of the city and county IL
nances.
The new assessment law with the loss
of revenue derived thru the tax on net
proceeds of mines has reduced the vaiu-
alton of the county from $S1 600, 900 to
$33 ,0OO, 900 and the loss in taxes on the
mine proceeds alone will amount to $40,
10000, he declared. Loss Of liquor IL
cense money will exceed 100000.
There is no way out of the present
situation except an increased levy, in the
opinion of Mr.. Harrington. In other
ways the new state law has brot unsat-
isfactory results, in his opinion. lie
declared that thousands of complaints
against increased valuation had been filed
with the Silver Bow assessor and that
in many instances valuations turned II
by property owners had been increased
as high as 100 per cent.
Warrants are now being registered BY
the county of Silver Bow, something
which was not found necessary to do dur

Many good folks may be forced 10
eat other than turkey meat this
Thanksgiving. 1t seems that this
already too rare bird is getting more
and more scarce. For many years it
has been difficult to obtain turkey meat
at any time other than Thanksgiving
and Christmas, but even these coming
holidays bid fair to be turkeyless for
other than those who go without just
because they haven't the price.
Turkeys are difficult to raise accord
ing to those who have tried it; they
demand careful attention and the
proper sort of feed, and even then there
is usually a great loss. In the present
days of high cost Of feed the farm
wives, who used to make much of
their spin money" raising turkeys,
have gone to doing things that involve
less risk and loss. AS a result the
demand for this bird will exceed the
supply this fall and winter, according
to local dealers. This same condition
exists in other parts of the country as
we'll as in Mexico.
