Are Attracted to State

disc" says statement issued by
Governor Nestos today.
Continuing the Governor said:
l desire to call the attention of
sheriffs, constables and police Off
cials to these facts and to suggest

that for the protection of the life,
the health and the property of our
people, they keep the jungles clear,
rigidly enforce the laws against va
grancy and the carrying of conceal.
ed weapons, and that they keep
constant vigil to prevent and ts
punish the depredations of the rob.
ber, the burglars and the whiskey
runner and seller.
THE administration will support
these officers fully in the full, fair
and fearless discharge Of their du-
ties and powers as police officers
under the laws of our state. be-
lieve the Attorney General has al
ready advised local law officers that
they will have the support of his
office to the fullest extent in deal
ing with law breakers of this type.
l also wish to urge upon the busi-
ness men and the city and village
officials of our state, that during
the next three months extra precau-
tions be taken to guard and protect
life and property.

spring without importing feed from
railroad points. A few horses have
perished on the open range where the
grass had been eaten off last summer.
In some portions of the country
sheep have not yet been placed on

BACHELOR AND POLL
!. TAXES A0TFlf

The state poll tax law. passed by
the Legislature in 1891, on January II
was declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court at Helena. as was also
the bachelor tax statute enacted by
the last assembly. t.
The opinion Of the high court holds
that the law Is unconstitutional in
that the legislature is denied authority
to impose any tax en- inhabitants of a
county for county purposes. The rul-
ing, however, states county commits.
sioners arc not prohibited from i'm
posing per capita tax. not exceeding
81, for county poor fusds. This, it
was stated. does not mean the tax
slall apply only to males but may be
imposed on adult women as we'll. The
poll tax law included al macs between
II and 80 years Of age. ,>
The opinion was rendered in the
appeal of Leonard r. Riebe from a de-
cisi0n Of the district court Of Flat
head county. The judgment of the
lower court was reversed. Justice AL
bert J. Galen wrote the opinicn with
Justice W. l.. Holloway dissenting
The poll tax Of So was collected by
the counties for the county poor fund.
The bachelor tax Of SO imposed on
male Inhabitants more than u years
old and not heads Of families went
t.. the same fund. In 1920 the state
poll tax totaled S93,51S. The figures
for this tax and the bachelor tax have
not been computed for 1921.
