ENSIGN TELLS BOHEMIAN
ABOUT THE STATE FAIR

Horace Ensign, secretary cf the
state fair, was in Bozeman Thurs
day arranging for some of the Gala
tin county attractions at the coming
fair that is to be held September II
to II.
Mr.. Ensign had recently come
from Miles City, and while there he
arranged with Colonel Gibbons of
Fort Keogh for an exhibit of army
horses and mules at the coming fair.
There will be "a horses and mules
all told taken to Helena, including a
span of lead mules, span of wheel
mules, a span of pack mules, span
Of cavalry horses, a span Of light ar
tillery, a span of heavy artillery,
eight hurdle horses and eight quarter
horses. The purpose of tie exhibit
will be educational and to show tAe
livestock breeders Of Montana the
class of horses and mules required
for army service. The breeding of
mules for army service promises tt
become quite an important Montana
business. There will be ten men from

ed at tax paying time, save that the
premium must accompany the appli-
cation when the land on which the
crops are growing has more than
one years delinquent taxes against
it.
The average cost to the farmer for
hail insurance under the state law
has been 80 cents for each ten dol
lars worth of protection per acre.
For a total crop loss the state
board pays $12 per acre. If three
fourths of the crop is destroyed SO
is paid and other lasses in the same
ratio. A warrant for so per. cent of
the total adjusted loss will be issued
within 40 days after the damage oc-
Cured. A warrant for the balance
will be issued as soon as possible
after the close of the season.
Experienced farmers do the adjust
ing for the board. Most of them are
men who have been recommended by
the various farm organizations or
county farm bureaus. They know
Montana conditions and are out to
give Montana farmers a square
DEAL"
During the season of 1920 only five
cents of each dollar was used for op
Grating expenses. Old methods OF
handling hail insurance use all the
way from 80 to so cents from each
dollar paid in for operating ex-
penses.
1t is the hope of the state boarG
of hail insurance that it will not be
necessary this season to levy the
maximum rates. Should the hal
losses in 1921 be as light as they were
in 1917, the state board could lay
aside a substantial surplus to meet
losses in the future, and at the same
time levy rates considerably below
the maximum.

manager plan has been an unquali-
fled success in McAllister since the
day of its inauguration. This has
not only been true with reference to
the efficient manner in which the
city's business is carried out, but in
the satisfied manner in which the
citizens feel toward the city govern
ment, exemplified at the recent pri-
may election, when no candidate ap-
peared to oppose two of the commits
sioners for re-election-something
unheard of before in this city. The
plan has given Us an economical
government without in any way i'm
pairing efficiency. This is SO for
many reasons, chief of which is the
fact that the city manager has no po-
litical debts to pay, refuses any. hint
of politics to creep into his hiring
of employees, and he alone is respon-
sible for the success or failure of the
executive end of the government
Thus the city manager form allows

DeminS then read a resolution which was later changed to read as follows: Re- solved-that a tax of 2O.5 mills on the dollar be made and the same is hereby laid upon the ratable estate of all persons liable by the law to pay taxes in the Town of Berlin, and the same shall be set in the grand list of 1920 to pay the debts and to defray the expense of the town and the support of the schools for the ensuing year: said tax shall be due and payable on the first day in May. 1921, and the compensation of the tax collector shall be l IA per cent on the amount collected.
 Discuss Compensation.
 F.. F.. Austin then held the floor and in expressing his opinions thought that the tax collector should receive a flat salary of $500 instead of being paid by percentage. He thought this more desirable in as much as the amount raised by taxes each year changes and accordingly, so does the pay. Following Mir. Austin's talk which was later put in the form of a motion, Francis Deming stated that Mr. Austin was out of order, but MT. Stevens replied he was not
 Major Wilcox then took the floor and said that the collector of taxes had always, as far as he could re- member in the Town of Berlin, been paid on a percentage basis. He said that the object was also apparent that the collector. if on a flat rate. would go out after the easiest taxes and be paid just the same where as if he is on a percentage basis he would get all of the taxes in order to re- ceive as much compensation as pos slble.
 He also added that the town has been running for one half of the fiscal

Plainville taxpayers will have rate of 19 mills to pay for the com- ing year. This was voted at the town meeting last night. But few arsu- ments were presented against the in crease of one and one-half mills, as this amount will all but clear the ex- penses of the town. There is a budg- ct of some $S0,000, as explained by Selectman William Johnson, and the tax laid will just about cover this.
 The meeting was called to order at 7:3o o'clock and Acquilla H. Condell was appointed chairman. Assessor s. P. Williams presented the first res olution and suggested a tax of 1S15 mills. MT. Williams gave a brief out line of how the tax valuation had in creased some half million dollars since October and estimated his sug- gestion of q rate on these figures and the valuation as given. His motion was seconded by Edward P. Prior. MT. Condell urged a tax to be laid that would effectnally cover the budg ct. and added that motion for a low CT tax than 1872 mills was out of order and not acceptable.
 Selectman William Johnson sug- gested a 19-mill rate in order to pay the expenses. provided the town would not have to spend more than was estimated. He gave an example of the added expenses and mentioned tho increase in the amount of the roce nt election. It cost the town ap- proximately s59s this year, which is exactly double that of two years ago. The expenses of the assessors two years ago was s242, last year it amounted to $40 and this year it

 Barn Catches Fire.
 Fire threatened to destroy barn owned by Mrs. Cooney of Westwood par, about g o'clock last night, when a lantern, which was placed inside of it, tipped over. The barn was formerly on the Woodford property at Whiting and Maple streets, and was purchased by Mrs. Cooney. Joseph Edman and Joseph Arbor, truckmen, worked the greater part of yesterday, moving it from Whiting street to Westwood park, and night time found the barn left near the trolley tracks. lantern was placed near the door that persons would not collide with it. MT. Edman was coming from Plainville last night and noticed the blaze in the barn. He shouted to Con- ductor O'Leary, who was in charge, and. assisted by others in the trolley, succeeded in stamping out the blaze.

 Tomorrow night will mark the first meeting of Pythian lodge, No. 47.

 Tax Rate Adopted
 Chairman Stevens then stated that a 20 mill rate would leave the town S1,500 short of the amount required by the budget and. the board of finance had thought the situation over and decided it would be best to add one half a mill than to run in debt s1,500. Selectman Carter said that when he came into office the town was s5.000 in the hole and that they would be cutting their own throat by carrying over the $1,500.
 The question was then brought be- fore the house and the 25 mile rate adopted.
 ScIcctmcn Need Money
 First Selectman Carter introduced a resolution asking for permission to borrow more money He stated that the selectmen have already used up the S35,000 borrowed since the last meeting and would need more before the taxes are collected in May. The following resolution was then adopt ed: "Resolved-that the selectmen of the town be authorized to make fur ther temporary loans not to exceed s35,000 to pay the expenses of the town when bills become due and to give the obligation of the town there tofor.

 A motion was made by E.. E. Austin in which he asked that it be the sense of the meeting to allow basketball to be played in the town hall under the restriction of the selectmen. The motion was carried. MT. Austin hrn lf hn in behalf of the boys who claimed that they had been asked to discon- tinue playing at the hall. Mir. Carter said he had asked the boys to stou inasmuch as he was told it was the end Of the season and he wanted to make repairs before the town meet ing. The repairs however were not made.

 Attack on School Board.
 MT. Austin's motion was lost. E.

 asked what the item for transporta-
 tion in the school budget related to.
 He also wanted to know if it includ- ed the transportation provided by
 MT Claudelin. Upon request of the
 chair, Walter Mo4umphy, chairman
 of the school board. told MT. Schurr
 that the transportation item in the school budget included the following:
 Transportation of children to New
 Britain high school, and the children
 from Berlin street and East Berlin
 to the Junior high school. He said
 that the Claudelin transportation was
 not provided for in the budget nor
 transportation for the 20 children on
 Christian Lane who were turned out
 into local schools.
 MT. Wilson of kensington then
 tried an attack on the school board,
 but it did not go over. He made an
 attempt to say that the report of the school board budget was not adopted and approved at the last meeting. MT. Woodruff, however, proved that it was, referring to back records. Would Prune Report. William H. Gibney thought that the report of the finance board could be pruned down inasmuch as several men are not working or are on short time. This would make the taxes less. Major Wilcox immediately jumped to the rescue of the board and said that no town meeting could | improve upon the work of the finance board which has spent a consider able amount of time on preps ring the 20.5 mill rate.
