Resolution

To the Joint Assembly of
County Officials of the State Of
Montana, we, your Joint Com
mittee appointed to prepare re-
solution relative to the tax and
revenue laws Of this State, beg
leave to report as follows:
AS public officers charged
with the duty of seeing to the
execution and carrying out of
the laws of Revenue and Taxa
ton, we have found and 10 sill
cerely believe that the present
tax law of the State of Mon
tana is neither adequate nor
sufficient and does not accom-
pjish a fair, just and equal as
sessment of taxation of proper
ty in this State; that under it
there are certain classes of
property that are not bearing
their just proportion of the bur-
dens Of the Government, and
that it's operation is both cum
bersome and expensive and in
capable of uniform and equal
taxes upon the people and the
property of this State which
should bear the burden of taxa
ton, we therefore recommend
that a new tax law be enacted
in the State of Montana. We
also believe that proper limita-
ton on the expenditures of
public money both by State Of
ficers, State Legislatures and
County Officers and Municipali-
ties has never been made. That
the State is now burdened with
Jobs, officers and positions, all
requiring expense and laying
additional burdens upon the
tax paying public.
We believe that co-ordinant
with taxes should be limitation
upon expenditures and to this
crd we recommend that a pro-
per law be enacted by the peo-
pie of the State of Montana,
limiting the creation of public
Offices and the expenditure of
public money, to the end that
public officers shall not be Gre
::ted or boards created, salaries
Of public officers increased be-
fore funds arc available.
That for the purpose of secur-
ing from our several constitu-
cncics in the State of Montana
their views relative to such
laws and accomplishing the en-
2ctment thereof. we recommend
IS follows:
LIST. That II committee be
known as the General Commit
tee shall be appointed from the
a,'iouS public officers Of the
tate of Montana in provision
as follows:
10 county Commissioners. s
County Assessors. 2 Reprcsen-

MEXICO RECALLS
AGENT IN PARIS
And Refuses to Recognize
Monroe Doctrine, Says
the Statement
MINISTER PAM is
ORDERED TO SPAIN
1t Is Also Reported That the
Minister to Italy Will
Be Recalled

Mexico City, Wednesday, April % (By
the Associated Press).-The nonrecog
milton of the Monroe doctrine by the
Mexican government and the recall from
Paris Of Alberto j. PAM, minister to
France, to await orders in Spain, formed
the substance of two statements printed
identically by all Mexico City papers to-
night as having been given out officially
by Salvador Diego Fernandez, chief of
staff in charge of the department of for
eign relations.
One statement reads: "Snce Deem
Der last year, Alberto J. PAM has held
credentials as minister to France signed
by the president of Mexico Notwith-
standing the fact that the French gov.
eminent, last November, expressed its
willingness to accept Senior Pants nomi-
nation, he has been unable to pre-
sent his credentials to the French gov.
eminent throughout his long stay in
Paris. In view of the above circum-
stances, President Carranza, through this
department, has ordered that Senior PAM,
together with the. legation corps, proceed
from France to Spain, there to await
cabed instructions.
The other statement follows:
"The conference now meeting at Paris
has considered the recognition OF the
Monroe doctrine. Some governments,
friends of Mexico, have asked Mexico for
its opinion regarding the doctrine, and
the Mexican department Of foreign rela-
tions has answered that the Mexican
government has not recognized and will
not recognize the Monroe doctrine or any
other doctrine that attacks the SOW
ereignty and independence of Mexico"
The recall from Paris of Minister PAM
has been rllmored unoiiicially for more
than week There have also been re-
ports that General Eduardo Hay, who
has been nominated Mexican minister to
Italy, will also be recalled, although
there is no official information relative
to the latter report.

PEACE so DAYS
AFTER SIGNING
This Formal Date Is Set to
Avoid Confusion as to
Ratification
UNITED STATES MAY
SIGN SEPARATELY
Because Nation Is Consid-
cred an Associated Ma
ton, Not an Ally

Paris, April "a (By the Associated
Press).-A clause has been drafted for
insertion in the peace treaty fixing the
date for the transition to state Of
peace go days after the signing of the
treaty. If the treaty is signed about
May Is, peace thus will become effective
throughout the world on July 10.
The purpose of this provision is to pre-
vent confusion among the more than 20
belligerent nations, who might fix differ
ent dates in their various notifications.
According TO the present plan, each ma
tion will ratify the treaty according to
its own laws, but all will unite in q
common date which will become uni
versal day of peace.
This follows the precedent established
at the conclusion of previous wars, but
it is increasingly necessary in the pres
ent case, owing to the large number of
nations signing the treaty.
1t is being considered whether the
United States, as an associated power
but not an ally, should sign separate
treaty of peace with Germany 1t would
be the same treaty as that signed by the
allies and would be signed at the same
time as part of the same ceremony but
the effect OF the separate treaty would
be to preserve the position of the United
States as an associated, instead of an al
lied power, and would be direct engage.
ment between the United States and
Germany instead of between the United
States and large number of other allied
powers.
Count Won Brockdorff -Rantzau, in his
last reply, stated that the German pleni-
potentiaries had been designated with

is OF good quality and is very hardy.
While fall planting is preferred. spring
setting is successful if done early and
promptly. Put good surface soil around
the roots and pack it firmly except at
the very top. Fall-set plants should be
muched with straw as soon as the
ground freezes.
Sandy or gravelly loans are preferred,
and there should be plenty of fertility.
Use manures freely, and commercial fer
tilizers if necessary. A common grade
of fertilizer with medium nitrogen, high
potash and phosphoric acid will give good
results. Broadcast it and rake it in.

SPANS Cork Industry Declines.

The cork industry has suffered re.
cent depression in Spain even though
cork manufacture has been extended to
a number of new uses such as washers,
hat-linings, paper, nsulators and even
cork wool for mattresses, says the Ma
tional Lumber Manufacturers associa
ton. About 90 per cent of the cork is
exported under normal conditions, the
United States being now the greatest
market for cork dust and shavings. There
has been great decline in the use of
corks for shoppers largely due to the re-
duced vintages, in the wine-making coun-
tries of Europe, and to the fact that the
wine acquired for the troops during the
war was sold chiefly in casks and not
bottled, thus reducing the demand for
shoppers The cork dust and shavings
which at one time were regarded as of
little value have grown in Importance
through their use in pressed cork prod
ucts, but this has not offset the decline in
some sections and many propretors of
cork groves are said to have abandoned
cultivation. Owing to the coal shortage
in l0l7-lS many cork trees were sacri-
feed for fuel and brought large sums.

the idea that pour parlors will occur
simultaneously with the delivery Of the
preliminaries of peace This expecta-
tion to engage in discussions from the
outset is leading to careful scrutiny of
President Wilson's fourteen points" as
intimations have been received that the
chief decision will be whether the treaty
accords with those points. One expert
engaged in this scrutiny says the prin-
cipal discussion will occur over the fifth
point, relative to the German colonies,
and the second, which provides for free,
open and absolute freedom of the seas.
The fifth point provides for Gree, open
and absolutely impartial adjustment of
all colonial claims The treaty ends
Germany's control of her former colo

fishing manufactures. Whether this ac-
cords with the provision OF "free and
open adjustment is expected to figure in
the pour parlors, The second point, con
corning the freedom of the seas, has not
figured during the discussion Of the treaty
and the attitude to be finally adopted
has not been announced.
One of the men drafting the treaty has
expressed the belief that it would be
physically impossible to complete the
instrument in time for the arrival of the
Germans and that it might even take I'M
til May 10 to consummate the tremen-
dous task. This leads TO some discussion
of presenting parts of the treaty already
completed, such as the league of nations
and the PREPARATIONS provisions, but it is
Premier Lloyd George insist that no
parts be presented by themselves and
that the entire document be presented.
This may lead to some revision in plans
for the delivery Of the treaty with Ger
mans, and there may be brief period
Of inaction until the document is ready.

This is not an extraordinary exam
