BOUNTY FUND LAW,
| Il MILL TAX IS
LEVIED FOR YEAR
State Livestock Commission
Decides Upon Move to
Replenish Exchequer.
Special TO The Tribune.

special TO Inc tribune.
Helena. July 2O.-For the reason
that the state livestock bounty fund is
getting low and bounty claims are
increasing, levy of IA mills win be
imposed this year upon the livestock,
owned in the state. This was decided
upon by the state livestock commission
at it's meeting Wednesday. The COM
mission also provided for levy of
one mill for the maintenance of the
commission. The latter is the usual
annual general levy and is expected to
produce approximately $4,000. al
though the amount cannot be deter
mined until assessment work in the
several counties shall have been COM
pleted
In 1920 the receipts from this one
mill levy was about $4,000 but it is
estimated that the livestock valuation
of 1921 will run about 20 per cent less
than that of last year.
There has been no special levy for
bounties during the past two years as
the funds on hand were sufficient to
care for all claims, but with the ex-
haustion of the fund it has been found
necessary to make the additional levy
this year. The general appropriation
for the support of the livestock com
mission made by the recent Legislature
was $4,000 for the present year and
a like amount for next year.
These levies are to be certified to
the state board of equalization for i'm
position. The commission adjourned
Wednesday noon.
Those members present were Fl. B.

Congressman Losing
Hope of Economical
Year, Says Penrose

Washington, July 20.-Repub-
Ijcan leaders in congress were said
Wednesday by Chairman Penrose
of the senate finance committee. to
be losing hope of reducing either
governmental expenditures or
taxes.
The finance chairman said he
did not wish his statement regard
ed as "a note of alarm" but as
serted that the "scandaious" finan-
ciaI situation revealed regarding
the shipping board and other gov
ernment commitments, including
the Sweet bill passed by the SEN
ate, could not but result in less
hope for economy.
"When congress met, there wore
hopes of economy and Of reducing
government expenditures" said
Senator Penrose, "but | do not
look now for any radical changes
in the tax system"

Washington, July 2O.-A bill to re-

by Chairman Lodge, of the senate for

indemnity was twenty-fou million
dollars and payments were suspended
