GOOD ENROLMENT
SHOWN BY N. 5. C.
Almost -Four Hundred Students Re
turn After Siege of War n
Epidemic.

The faculty of the Montana State
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts a student enrolment
for the present term totalling 500
While this enrolment is considered
most satisfactory following a siege
of influenza and following so closely
upon the signing of the armistice, 1t
is known that the enrolment for the
fall of 1919 will reach a record figure
for the institution. Many young men
now abroad and others in this state
have written that they will be signed
up for work this fall.
At the present time, only three
counties in Montana are not repre-
sented in the state college. While
the largest number, 107, are Boze-
man students, it is pointed out that
many of these are Bozeman residents
only for the time they are in college,
many families moving to the city for
that length of time. From Gallatin
county outside of Bozeman came II
students, while Cascade county is rep
resented with 10. Lewis and Clark
county sent Is students and Yellow
stone II. Beverhead sends five and
Missoula three, the other counties hav-
ing from three to five each.
The Montana State College has at
tracted II students from other states.
two coming from other nations than
the United States. The northern coun.
ties are represented as strongly as
the southern counties although they
are much further from Bozeman. The
western counties are slightly behind
the eastern counties in enrolment.

q bill now before the legislature pro-
viding for a general classification tax,
instead of the present general proper
ty tax. This bill, it is understood,
embodies recommendations by the
state tax commission. The resolu-
ton AYERS that the classification tax
would result in a great loss of reve-
nue. to the state, disturb tax matters
generally, reduce the aggregate as
sessments ard increase the levy.
An Unequal System.
The bill is inconsistent with good
government, the county commission
ers declare in their resolution, and
would establish a system producing
great inequality between owners of
and investors in tangible property.
"We favor the classification of in
tangible property" continues the reso-
luton, "and an amendment to the con-
stitution taxing the same at a low
flat rate of five mills.
Opposite to the general tinkering"
with the tax question in the state at
this time, is expressed, "and realiz-
ing the importance of needed legis-
lation to produce a more equitable
, and uniform assessment and taxation
in Montana, but believing their Estate
tax commission) recommendations are
not consistent with the needs of the
present time, save and except that Of
creating a permanent board of tax
commissioners for the state" the COM
missioners go on record against enact
ing the general scheme of the tax COM
mission.
Raise the Limit.
The commissioners also enacted a
resolution asking for the amendment
of the state constitution to permit the
expenditure of more than $4,000
the present hinton any bridge or
road project. This would, it was point
ed out, make it possible for the coun-
ties to get some of the federal gov
ernment's highway construction mon
ey, which under the present regula-
ton, may be obtained only on condi-
ton that the state or county appro-
pirate a like amount, the sum not to
be less than $4,000 for any one pro-
ject.
Mrs. Sarah Morse, secretary of the
State Society for Prevention of Tu-
berculosis at Helena, addressed the
commissioners on the necessity of pro-
viding for the tubercular affected of
the state. She urged the enlarge
ment of the state tuberculosis hospital

In a joint session of all the officials

Havre in the contest for the next

whether the gathering should be held
in January, 1920, or in October. 1919,

DOCTORS JOINING IN
INFLUENZA BATTLE

| CINCINNATI, Sept. 10.-That in.
fluenza is coming back is the opin-
ion of scientists who have pledged
support to DIR. o. p. Geier OF Cincin-
natl, in his fight for a congressional
appropriation of s5.00o.0O0 for the
study of the causes and means of pre-
vention of influenza.
! The measure is fathered by the Pre-
ventive Medicine Section of the Ann
erican Medical Association and the
fight for it is being led in congress by
Senator Warren G. Harding and Rep
resentative Simeon Fess. both of Ohio.
Numerous health authorities and
organizations have endorsed IL in let
ters received by DR.. Grier.
''We will have a recurrence of in
fluenza this fall" writes DR.. A. r.
Lewis, commissioner of health of the
state of Oklahoma.
THAT influenza will come back is
a sure thing, and what we want to
know is how to guard against it and
quickly cure it when once it has ta-
ken hold" says A, N. Dubois, public
health expert of Alabama.
The Life Extension Institute of New
York. of which William H. Taft is
board chairman, is backing the fight
for $1,000. 600 anti-influenza appro-
priation.
DR.. Eugene L. Fisk. director of the
Institute, says: 'The fighting of this
epidemic disease is not a matter of
medical treatment. but prevention :
along definite lines which we cannot I
follow, until we identify our enemy,
and know where his machine gun 4.
nests are located" He adds that un-
til the cause of influenza is located
the disease is as dangerous an enemy 4
as were the Germans.

campaign a number of Industrial or Il
