The total tax which would be levied
against the corporations of Montana
to pay a soldiers bonus under the pro-
visions Of an initiative measure now
being circulated in the state, and
which it is understood is fostered by an
organization known as the World War
Veterans, would be approximately
$55,2O0,000
A tax of ten per cent of the total
Grating within the state for each Of the
net incomes of all corporations OPP
eight years of 1915 to 1922, inclusive,
is proposed by this bill and the money
so derived is to be paid to the vet
Grams of the recent war at the rate of
500 for each month or fraction of a
month spent in the service by each
veteran. In the event that, after the
distribution of the money upon the
monthly basis, there remains in the
fund any moneys in excess Of $4,000
the remainder shall be divided equally
among such veterans as have been
totally disabled.
Circulated in Flathead -.
The first petition to be filed with
the secretary of state had been cir
culated in Flathead county and bears
the attestation of the county clerk of
Flathead as to the signatures.
The bill follows very closely the
construction of the existing n per
cent corporation license tax, which for
the years 1917 to 1921, inclusive, pro-
duced to the state an average annual
income of $427,000 Assuming that
the average net income of the corpor-
atoms for the eight-year period pro-
posed by the bonus bill was the same
as for the years covered by the *
listing corporation license tax law the
proposed bill should produce $4,270, 0OO
for each of the eight years or a total
of $34,1 6 900.
However, the bill contains a pro.
vision to the effect that in the event
the fund thus to be raised is sufficient
to pay the veterans the full sum tc
which they may be entitled under the
500 per month rate of compensation
then the amount required shall be
computed by the state auditor and a
further license fee be collected ir
such amount as to meet the deficiency
Estimated Total $50, 200, 900.
1t is estimated that the average
period of service of the Montana sol.
diers, of whom there were 10000, was
IL months, so that to fully pay these
veterans would require $685. 200, 900 OF
an average of $6,832,OOO for eacl
of the eight years. This would mea,
instead of a straight 10 per cent tax
as provided in the bill, a deficiency
levy of in excess of sly per cent or 6
total Of ove 16 per cent of the totaI
net income for all corporations for
each Of the eight years.
The bill provides that the assess
ment of this license tax shall be made
on Or before June 1, 1923, and the tax
must be paid on or before June Is
1923. For failure to pay such tax
upon the day specified a penalty of sc
per cent would be added with an ad.
ditional one per cent interest for each
month the tax remains relinqunet

Quiry?" he hazarded with a faint smile.

"What do you mean by that?" de-
manded Waith instantly and sternly.
"Just what the word implies" broke
in a new voice. The instant Waith
recognized the man as Dale Woods he
knew that he was in trouble. Dale

sealed. He must act if he would save
his life.
The men stepped aside in low-toned
consultation. Waith saw Woods draw
out his revolver. Just beyond the copse
a horse grazed u%ntethered. With a
spring Waith gained his feet and
dashed toward the animal. He was in
the saddle in a flash.
The horse made a bound along a mar
row ledge skirting a deep ravine.
The pursuing coterie reached the
edge of the ravine. They peered down
in awed silence. Only Dale Woods
said to himself, with a thought Of Mel

from the ravine.
1t was Hector Waith. He had sunk
a few rods down into a nest Of dense
enveloping vines.
Waith had chung to these, safely
sheltered from the view of his pur'
suers until they had left the spot.
The moon was up when he emerged
from the ravine.
1t was in the early hours of the
morning. The moon was just sinking
when lying in the road before him he
made out n human form. 1t was that
Of an old woman. She was insensible
and Waith could not arouse her.
"What shall I do?" he questioned
himself. ut Is dangerous for me to

on his hands and the hours passed on.
He discovered a deserted hut at a little
distance. He carried the old woman
thither. She revived somewhat, but
was still incoherent.
For two days Waith gathered ber-
ries, nuts, whatever he could find to
give ~sustenance to his charge. She
was gradually rallying her strength.
Even at the risk of coming across
any Of the Woods band, I must get
word to others to care for her, as l
cannot" he decided.
He had not gone half a mile from
the old hut in search of some other
habitation when. turning a ledge of
rocks, he faced a leveled revolver

of Woods as he gazed upon the face Of
the old woman.
It was after Woods knew what he
owed to the man he had sought to de-
stroy that he handed a note he had
written to Waith.

Hector Waith was more surprised
than alarmed. Four men faced him
in the rugged Kentucky mountain path

to the rugged mandatory ways Of the

1t is with much pleasure that we learn
of the re-appOintment Of Mr.. B. +. Lar
sen 10 the po8tma5tership of this town,
the duties Of which position he has dis
charged during the past four and a half
years to the satisfaction of the whole
public. All WI o have had business with
the post office, or pay any attention to
what's going on around them, Will resti-
fly to the energy, ACTIVITY, and efficiency
Of Mr.. Larsen as 4 postmaster. and We
are sure will join with US in extending 10
him hearty congratulations on this Occa-
sion, and wishing him many years Of
usefulness in the postal service. 1t is
c0nmo0 knowledge that the post office
here is a we'll conducted institution, the
doors o which are open all day, and
frequently until late at night, Sundays
and holidays included, in order that the
public convenience may be met in the most
complete way, but it is not so we'll known
that much of the postmaster's private
time and means is cheerfuIIy applied
toward maintaining that standard of eff
cheney and service which have co ne to
be the trademark OF the ~}ristiansted
Post Office. When men do Ch1ir work
poorly, they are criticized; when they do
it well, little cOmne.. is heard for the
simple reason that everybody links they
have done 20 more than is expected of
them. We take this opportunity OF Civ
ing Postmaster Larsen credit Tor full

ing US the most satisfactory service he

matter OF mailing early, and practice it
for a little while, it is certain that the
advantage would soon become obvious to
them. Instead Of doing all mailing of
letters md packages on Monday and
Saturday which are the heaviest DAYS at
the post office here, some spare time on
other days should be devoted to this pur-
pose, and mail pat in the post office on
Friday AID Sunday, latest, whenever it
is convenient to do so Another thing
that would help the post office and pa
irons themselves is to buy some stamps
and .eep them on hand. When dozens
of patrons fill the lobby asking for
mail, wanting to buy stamps, register
letters, insure parcels, ETC., not TO men
ton money orders Of which 805 are pur-
chased on the busiest days entailing
needless congestion and much loss of
time to those who are obliged to
await their turn at the window, even
a much bigger staff could not re
lieve the situation to any extent. When
mailing is done early and often, more
personal attention and material aid of
postal employees ia the preparation of
mail, so often needed, might be detailed
to mutual advantage. The public wants
the best service and the post office wants
to give the best, the very best service it
possibly can. This is easily attained by
cooperation. Won't all the patrons of
the Christiansted post office cooperate e?
