the northern loop, having accepted
position on the new "Bay State" one

to hear that his son was successful

that travel will put the finishing
touches on Dale's polish and boost him
along in his chosen line more than
any other thing that could have hap
pened to him. Dale Curran achieved
quite success as editor of the Search
light and was well and favorably
known among newspaper men of east

aggressive and wide awake kind that
make good any place and we predict
bright and prosperous future for

STATE WILL TRY ALLEGED
VIOLATORS OF LIQUOR LAWS

Helena, Jan. 12.-Alleged violaters
of the prohibition law will no longe,
be tried in the United States district
court but instead in the state court
hereafter, according to an announce
ment by o. H. P. Shelley, chief en-.
forcement officer for Montana.
"The determination of. the federal
prohibition forces in Montana to pro-
secute alleged offenders of the pro-
hibition law in state courts" said
United States District Attorney John
L. Slattery Monday morning, in con-
nection with Mr.. Shelley's announce
ment, sis in accord with the ideas of
Judge George NJ. Bourquin and my
self who have both maintained that
the enforcement of the prohibition law
should be by local prosecution.
"Local prosecution awakens the in
terest of the people in the community
affected and has tendency to bring
out in sharp relief the industry and
ability and honesty of local officers,
or the lack of such qualities.
"Another virtue in local prosecu-
tions is the fact that trials may be
had while the evidence is fresh and
delays will not be occasioned as they
are in the federal court because of
the latter having such large territory
to cover and sitting only in a limited
of places"

MONTANA WILL STAGE A
COMEBACK IN YEAR 1922

Helena, Jan. 11-Any person who
is dubious as to whether Montana will
stage Comeback" in farming, only
need study the history of other west
ern states to have the point definitely
resolved in the affirmative, accord
ing to study made by the state de-
partment Of agriculture. Practically
all other northwestern states have
been through the same experience
big influx of settlers followed soon
er or later by an abandonment of some
of the areas settled upon and a per-
iod of pessimism. Then a second in
flux Of settlers who adopted diversi-
fled farming and made good. Pros
perity returned and land values in
creased.
Answering an inquiry of the Mon
tana Department Of Agriculture, Leo
Stuhr, secretary of the Nebraska De-
partment Of Agriculture writes "that
from 1891 to 1897 there was a grad
ual removal of people from the west
ern part of the state and some places
were practically depopulated. From
1897 on they began to come back and
from 1900 to present date there has
been steady growth.
"The return of farmers to this Sec
tion of the state was undoubtedly
caused by improved financial condi-
tions as we'll as one or two good crops
by the farmers who had remained.
This was sufficient evidence to con-
vince others to return to this region
and again take up agriculture. In a
general way we wish to say that the
western part of the state has been
very prosperous"

STATE EXAMINERS REPORT
SHOWS COUNTY RECORDS
IN EXCELLENT SHAPE

After checking up the books and
records of the various County offices
and noting few minor errors in book
keeping, the State Examiner. in a re-
port dated December 22nd says of the
county officers:
County Treasurer: The books and
records of this office were carefully
and accurately written up. There
seems urgent need of more vault
room and working space in this office
in the future, if the greatest efficien-
cy is to be rendered by this officer.
The School District accounts were
checked and balance found in accord
ance with the monthly statement
sheet.
County Clerk: The fee book and
other records Of this office were ac-
curately and efficiently written up.
Clerk of District Court: The books
and records Of this office were neatly
and promptly written up.
Sheriff: This officer was very alert
in collecting all fees due the county
in both civil and criminal cases.
Public Administrator: This officer
is keeping all estate funds on deposit
with the county treasurer at present
examination. The accounts of the diff
ferent estates were kept in business
like manner. The register was promt-
ly and neatly written up to the last
transaction.
Coroner: The records of this office
were efficiently and neatly kept.
Cooperation: The healthy coopera-
ton between the different DEPART
ments OF the county government
speaks volumes in return to the tax
payers in efficient service.

BACHELOR and POLL
TAX UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Supreme Court Knocks Out Law In
Force for Twenty-Five Years. Per
Capita Tax May Be Levied.

After having been in force more
than q years in Montana, the poll
tax law was declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court. The bachelor
tax law was also declared unconstitu-
tional
Although the poll tax law is de-
clared unconstitutional, under section
1894 of the Revised Code county COM
missioners still have the power to levy
per capita tax not exceeding 81
for county poor funds. The state poll
tax was So and the bachelor tax SO.
The decision declaring those taxes
unconstitutional was written by JUS
tice Albert J. Galen in the case of
Howard X. Pierce and Leonard E.
Riebe of Flathead county. Justice w.
L. Holloway dissented. The ruling
reverses the district court of Flathead
county on the ground that the consti-
tuition denied the legislature the au-
thority to impose any tax on the in
habitants of a county for county pur-
poses.
Poll taxes and bachelor taxes were
turned into the poor funds of the vari-
Gus counties. The poll tax included
all male persons from 21 to 60 years
o fage. The bachelor tax was imposed
on all males more than 21 years old
who were not the heads of families.
