consideration of the administrations
ship subsidy bill started a flood of
discussion in house republican circles
as to the prospect of action on the
measure, prior to adjournment of con-
gress.
At a conference with house leaders
Saturday the president was informed
that the bill probably would be ready
for submission to republican members
of the merchant marine committee the
latter part of next week. but that many
republicans were not disposed to take
up new legislation toward the end of
the session.
The leaders. it was understood,
frankly told the president there was
opposition to subsidy legislation among
republicans from middle western states
and that there was the certainty of
almost solid democratic opposition.

Next Week, Is Report
Special to The Tribune.

'FtEIdI 7" IHe IEIUUHt'
Miles City, June with the spring
season much in advance here in Gus
ter county as compared with former
years crops Of all kinds are getting a
good start, according to reports reach
ing the local farm bureau office. The
first cutting of alfalfa will be harvested
within the next week by a number of
farmers whoeare planning on producing
an alfalfa seed crop. About 40 per
cent of the corn acreage in Custer
county has been planted and practically
all the small grain is in the ground,
the reports received here indicate.
Owing to almost incesant rainfall dur
ing the past week the moisture in the
ground is said to have p%ermeated for a
four foot depth and the outlook is the
best in years for bumper crops.

would permit such eonfiscation OF
the productive agencies OF the
state. But its very absurdity is
a good thing. If it had been less
drastic in its provisions it might
have fooled more people. AS 1t IS,
we regard it as by no means dan
gerous or threatening to the vel
fare of the state. No n but a fool
would seriously think of supporting
it, and we have no such number OF
fools in Montana as to stand any
chance Of giving this measure a
majority.
As showing where some people
would push the income tax method
of taxation it is interesting to note
that the state already exacts n
per cent of all net profits from
corporations; Uncle Sam demands
fifty per cent on large incomes; the
teachers want 8 per cent more on
the larger incomes, the World War
Veterans would take Is per cent
more. Therefore, in order to pay
six pei cent on their capital to the
stockholders. large corporations
would have to earn "a per cent net
profits. There would sure be some
price boosting and increase in liv-
ing costs to do that, and the con-
sumner a. usual would pay it or
production cease.

THE SOLDIERS INCOME
TAX BILL

N yesterdays issue OF Inc lrloune
there was printed an abstract of
the recent Montana soldiers bonus
bill filed at Helena for a referen-
dunn vote under the initiative and
referendum act. The bill is not
fathered by the Legion organiza-
ton whose membership covers
nearly all the veterans of the late
war, but by a small organization
calling themselves the World War
Veterans. They are comparatively
few in numbers and comprise the
radical element. They have large
ly been made use of by the I. w.
w. and other radical organizations
for destructive purposes. We do
not know how large the member
ship is in Montana, but it is small
compared to the Legion, and the
movement receives no support from
the latter organization.
That statement is due the Legion
for the initiative bill filed by the
! World War Veterans is so radical
and sweeping in its provisions as to
render it absurd and ridiculous. It
sweeps the constitution Of the
United States and the state of Mon
tana aside with the contempt which
is to be expected from such sources,
and provides for a license on all
corporations during the years 1915,
1916, 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920, 1921
and 1922, amounting to ten per
cent of their net incomes during
these years, whether arising from
operations or interest on notes,
bonds, or securities. 1t also pro-
vides that if this license tax is not
sufficient to produce the sum need
ed to pay $500 per month for each
month served in the army by draft
ed men or volunteers in the worlds
war coming from Montana, then the
license fee is to be increased until
= fifty-five million dollars is raised
which is the sum estimated as
necessary to carry out the terms of
the bill. AS the figures are avail
able from the corporation tax of
one per cent which was in force
during these years showing net re-
turns of corporations, it is easy to
figure that it would require a is
I per cen tax to carry out the provi-
sions of the bill. AS the bill is
retroactive covering eight years
that would be equivalent to a levy
of 1913 per cent of the average year
ly profit of corporations in the
state and would bankrupt most of
them.
AS we said before, the bill is
ridiculous and absurd and has no
possible show to become a law,
even if it could command a major
ity vote at the polls, and that it
could command such approval
seems to US an absurdity in itself.
II violates half a dozen provisions
of the state and federal constitu-
ton. Whoever drafted it seems to
realize that fact, for it provided
that in case the courts hold any
part of it unconstitutional the other
parts not held unconstitutional
shall remain in full force and
effect. We are of the opinion that
the title might be left after the
courts got through passing on its
several clauses, and that would be
about all that would survive.
The bill is. however, of interest
as showing what the bolsheviks in
the state would do if they could to
make Montana another Russia and
kill off all production of wealth
in the state. We do not suppose
that five per cent of the voters Of
Montana would be ignorant enough
to vote for such q law if the courts
