JUVENILE HOME
ISPR0BLEM UP
FOR SOLUTION
County Board May Rent Place
for Detention of Delinquent
Minors.

The question of establishing a de-
which was made obligatory on all c6un-
ties having population of more than
10000 by an act Of the state legisla-
ture. was discussed Monday by the
board of county commissioners but no
definite action was taken. If the pro-
visions of the law had been followed
the home would have been established
last July, but at that time the county
was financially unable to undertake
such project.
Offer to Sell
The discussion Monday was prompt
ed by several offers to sell property
to the county that would be suitable
for the location of detention home
While the commissioners are agreed in
the opinion that home for juvenile
delinqnpnts is needed in the county
they believe that it would be far more
Judiclous to rent property then to buy
it. until the time comes when the
county is in a position to finance and
own the institution. No property has
been offered the county for rent.
Legal Question Involved
The commissioners are uncertain as
to what action they will take. as it has
come to their knowledge that other
counties have met the detention home
problem by combining the delinquents in
the county jail or other penal institu-
tons. Whether this is legally permits
sable is question which may be
placed before Attorney General w d
Rankin for decision.

Underwriters Survey.
CITY TO LOWER RATES
New Schedule of Insurance Charges Will Be
Made; Recent Inspection Indicates Great
Falls Entitled to Reduction.

terested in the work of the board.
according to Mr.. Thomas.
Great Falls has not been re-rated
since 1911,'' Mr.. Thomas said. when
the schedule prepared in. 1897 was
placed in effect. 1t is the plan to
establish new rates in accordance with
the schedule Of 1908, which reduces
the insurance rating on the better
class Of buildings, but effects but
little the rates on the inferior type
of dwellings. Buildings will be in
spected in regard to physical appear,
ance and other conditions considered
by insurance companies. Individual
rates win be fixed for each building
inspected"
Consider Fire Department
Mr.. Thomas said that plans for re-
rating the city were being executed
on the assumption that the present
strength of the fire department will
be maintained. A reduction in the num-
Der of firemen, he said or loss in
efficiency through the elimination of
part of the fire fighting equipment.
would prevent the establishment OF
new rates.
Mr.. Thomas and Mr. Merriam will
not remain in Great Falls during all
of the time the inspection is being
made. Silver White, Emmett Dee and
f. J. Sullivan will be in Great Falls
in few days and they will compose the
inspection force At least two of these
men will be in the city at all times
while the survey is being made.

Preparations for an inspection of
Great Falls business houses and
dwellings with view to establishing
new and lower rate of fire insur-
ance IN the city are now being made
by representatives Of the Butte office
Of the Pacific board of fire under
writer's. P. F. Sullivan, Dave s.
Thomas and James Merriam, members
Of the rating board, are in Great
Falls performing the work prelimi-
nary to the inspection, which will re-
quire three months to complete.
Made Survey Last August
The new schedule of rates will be
computed largely on information gath
cred in Great Falls last August by
representatives of the San Francisco
office of the board Of underwriters,
Mr.. Thomas stated. The results Of the
coming inspection will also be taken
into consideration. The survey made
last year revealed that Great Falls
had improved materially in respect to
the elimination Of fire hazards and
fire protection since the last survey
in 1911.
That survey, said Mr.. Thomas,
provided the San Francisco office with
sufficient evidence that Great Falls
was entitled to a re-rating. Copies of
the report made BY the western office
will be off the press i'll a few days
and will be mailed to all city offici-
ais, insurance men and others in

is AIN EXPLANATION
OF NEW lNG0ME TAX LAW

Forms for making returns of in
come for the year 1921 have been re-
vised and simplified, and contain in
structions which is carefully followed
will be of material aid to taxpayers
in the avoidance of errors.
Many of these errors r due to
misunderstanding of the exemption
allowed d head of a family, defined
by treasury regulations as a person
who actually supports and maintains
in one household one or nor indiv-
iduals who are closely connected with
him by blood relationship, relation
ship by marriage or by adoption, or
whose right to exercise family con-
troll and provide for these dependents
is based upon some moral or legal
obligation"
The exemptions allowed a head of
a family under the revenue act of
1921 are the same as granted a mar
ried person-$2,500 where the net
income for 1921 was $4,000 or less
and $4,000 where the net income ex-
ceeded $4,000. Circumstances sur
rounding each individual case deter
mine largely whether a person is en-
titled to such exemption.
A single person-the term includ-
ing widowers, widows, and persons
not living with wife or husbands
the head of a family if he is the sole
supporter of one or more relatives
living in the same house with him,
and if he exercises control of house
hold affairs. A married person living
with husband or wife, in addition to
the exemptions allowed such persons,
can not claim an exemption as the
head of a family, irrespective of the
support of others in the household.
Whether a person who does not
continuously live in the same house
with dependent relatives is entitled
to the exemptions depends upon the
character of the separation. If a par
ent is away on business part of the
year or a child or other dependent is
away on a visit, the common home
being maintained, the exemptions
may be claimed. If a parent is com
PEELED to maintain his dependent chill
dren with relatives, or in a boarding
house, the exemptions may still ap-
ply. If, however, the dependent con-
tinuously and without necessity
makes his home elsewhere than with
his b~enefactor, the latter is not the
head of a family, irrespective Of the
question of support.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1922-02-09

A taxpayer who is not the head OF
a family may still be allowed the ex-
emption of $500 for each person de-
pendent upon him for chief support,
if such person is under Is years of
age or incapable of s~elf-support be-
cause mentally or physically defec-
tive.
Following are concrete examples
of taxes due under the revenue act
of 1921 and circumstances governing
exemptions allowed a head of a fam
lily and for dependents:
A married couple living together
with two children, 10 and IL years
old, had a net income for 1921 of
$4,000. Their tax is $48, which is
4 per cent on $1,000, the amount of
their net income less the exemption
of $4,000 for married persons whose
net income was less than $4,000, plus
$500 for each dependent. The tax
on the same income for the year 1920
was $84.
A married couple living together
with two children, 10 and IL years
old, had a net income of 1921 of
$4,000. Their normal tax is $128,
which is 4 per cent on, $4,000, the
amount OF their income less the ex-
emption of $4,000 allowed married
persons whose net income was in ex-
cess of $4,000. plus $500 for each
dependent. On the same income for
1920 the normal tax was $144.
Shows Reduction
A single person living at home and
supporting an invalid mother and sis
ter II years old had a net income
for 1921 of $500. His tax is So.
He is allowed the $4,000 individual
exemption granted the head of a fam
lily whose net income was less than
$4,000, plus $500 for each depend
ent. Ut should be noted that the
$500 additional exemption for de-
.pendents does not apply to husband
or wife, even though either one has
become a total burden upon the
other.) A single mar lives with and
supports a mother so years old and
two sisters 10 and 81 years old. He
is allowed an exemption as head of
a family ($2,500 or $4,000, depend
ing upon whether his net income was
$4,000 Or less or in excess of $4,000
but not the $500 exemption for de-
pendents, since his mother and sis
tiers are neither under IS year of
age, o mentally nor physically in
capacitated.

Frank w. Haskins, the popular at
torney of that city. The year before
the big discovery Haskins had grub
staked a ~prospector who went out to
the Whitehall district and located
some claims. He returned to Butte
with a large sack of l~iver-colored
rock and then departed for British
Columbia. Haskins did not think
enough of the samples to have them
assayed. But on hearing of the rich
strike at the Mayflower and on being
shown the ore from there, he noted
the similarity to his own samples
and had them assayed. They gave
gold values of about $500 to the
ton. Then he looked up his location
notices and organized a hunt for the
claims his partner had located. At
that time there had not been any
mining claims located within miles
of where the Mayflower ore shoot
was found, so the location notices
were very indefinite as to the local
ity, merely describing the claims as
being situated four miles from a
high mountain, three miles from the
Jefferson river and so many miles
from the bridge at Gaylord. Has
kins ~endeavored to get In touch with
his former partner and meantime
went in search of the claims.
Checking up the description and
coupling it with the character Of the
ore his prospector partner had taken
to Butte, the only acceptable infer
ence was hat his partner had located
the claims, if he had located n.y., on
the site of the Mayflower. The part
ner when heard from refused to re-
turn to Montana unless assured in
advance of a large sum of money
which Haskins at that time was I'M
able to furnish. Whether his grub
partner was the first locator
of the Mayflower or whether he had
merely picked up some float scatter
ed about and brought it to Butte, are
questions awaiting a tardy solution
for Haskins' prospector friend has
not yet returned from the north.

1t would have been much better IL
the hunters had killed twice as many
more, said Warden Jakways, INSTEAD
Of leaving them to starve. I have
investigated that season, and I have
official statistics to show that nearly
twice as many elk died of starvation
that winter as were killed by the
hunters.
''The federal government drives
the elk back into the park during the
hunting season and allows them to
come out and starve to death during
the winter, and then asks why Mon
tana does not feed them.
'In addition to the starvation of
the animals, the damage they do the
adjoining farms is incalculable. I
have scores of letters, backed up by
testimony that has been investigated,
which shows that the elk raid the
ranches of the Yellowstone outside
the park boundaries and refuse to be
driven away, eating the hay of the
farmers and destroying range until
the livestock of the farmers die of
starvation and the elk themselves
are not saved. The national govern
ment lies down on the job and Mon
tana pays the freight, while the elk
and the farmers adjacent to the park
are the sufferers.
"There are at least 10000 elk in
the Yellowstone park (the govern
ment caretakers claim 10000, and
the increase is at least 1000 per year
| recommend that Montana kill off
500 each year and sell them to pay
the state expenditure, and also that
the Elk lodges of the nation or the
federal government purchase ranches
adjacent to the park for the purpose
Of providing winter range to keep
the animals from starving"
The committee will build a fish
hatchery at the Giant Spring below
Great Falls, at a cost of $4,000, of
which the Montana Power company
pays $4,000 and furnishes pumping
power free. A caretaker's house to
cost $4,000 is also under considera-
lion.
