FAVOR SCHOOL
TAX ON INCOME
City Federation Passes ResOlu-
tons Backing Plan Urged
by State Superintendent.

That the City Federation of Great
Falls will support the proposed in
come tax measure to aid il the sup
port of public schools was the decis-
ion reached at the meeting of the fed
Grafton held Tuesday evening at the
Y. NJ. c. A. The resolution followed
a report given by Mrs. o. G. Miller,
who represented the city federation
at the convention.
The tax plan was urged by Miss MAJ
Trumper state superintendent Of
public instruction, in her address on
"Montana's Problems in Education" at
the state federation convention at
Bozeman. This bill. unlike the fed
eral income tax. does not exempt
teachers and pubic officials and it
is understood will be levied on all per
son whose income is such that a tax
is justifiable. This is to obtain pos
sible sources of revenue and to dis
tribute the tax burden in such a man
ner as to equalize educational re-
sponsibilities.
The address by Miss Helen Bennett.
manager of the. Chicago Collegiate
bureau was outlined BY Mrs. Miller.
Miss Bennett referred several times to
Great Falls. where a few years ago
her brother. the Rev. G.. G. Bennett,
was rector of the Episcopal church. In
her work. she deals with girl prob
lens. the subject on which her talk
was based.
At one of the sessions Mrs. Maggie
Hathaway, who for three terms has
been a representative in the legislature
spoke on the Sheppard -Towner bill and
begged that all women's organizations
cooperate with DR.. J. J. Sippy. state
epidemiologist, of Helena in further
ing it.
One of the outstanding problems Of
the convention on which the federation
has been concentrating is the raising
of a $4,000 dollar fund for the pur-
chasing of the Paxton picture. The
$1,000 already raised will be held in
security until the balance can be raised
among other organizations.
Included also in Mrs. Miller's report
was her impression of the president
of state federation, Mrs. s. NJ. Soud-
ers of Red Lodge.
In commenting on the social high
lights of the convention Mrs. Miller
spoke of Bozeman residents as being
most cordial and hospitable. There
were receptions. luncheons, automobile
and entertainments arranged in
their honor.
In the absence of both the president
and first vice president, Mrs. P. Ang-
land presided.

l.. Q. Shelton, state superintendent

gave the plan of reorganization his
endorsement and asserted that if the

the bank would not only be on a proper
and safe basis but that it would be-

situations in the state.
Mr.. SHELTON, however, laid down
two requirements which must be met
before he would permit the bank to re-

requirement is demanded of the stock
holders and one of the depositors.
From the stockholders he will require
that they pay into the bank. in the
event of r%eopening, their full statutory
liability of 500 share. If this is
done by the stockholders, then he will
require that all depositors, who have
not signed up their accounts, also sign
up on the same basis as other deposit
tors have done.
Approximately 100000 of the
stock represented at the meeting was
signed up by the owners of the stock

logical move to be made by either
stockholders or %depositors. He will,

Plan Western Movies
to Bring Tourists

Motion pictures featuring the scenic
beauty spots along the Milwaukee rail-
way right of way through Montana and
other western states have been con-
tracted for by the Milwaukee railway
to use for exhibition purposes in east
ern cities to advertise scenic
of the west in comparison to famous
wonder spots of Europe, according to
II. R. Wahoske, division freight and
passenger agent of the Milwaukee at
Great Falls.
The pictures will be taken by H. T.
Cowling. Chicago motion picture pho
tographer. Mr.. Cowling left Chicago
June 10. and expects to devote nearly
a month to the western trip. When he
will be in Great Falls Mr.. Wahoske
was unable to say, but announced that
the Gamers man would visit Great
Falls before returning to Chicago.

All tourists reported Tuesday tina,
the roads throughout the state were
in good condition except the Y-G Bee
line between Livingston and Great
Falls.
They all say that the crop conditions
in all parts of Montana. except around
Shelby and Chester, are most promis-
ing and indicate a bumper crop.
Tourists from all parts of the coun-
try praise the Great Falls tourist
camp and say there is nothing like it to
boost a city.
Why the sun cannot hang behind a
cloud during the hours of driving. is
the question of all, and why the dust
can't settle without rains and storms,
is the other query.
An easterner wanted to know why
the people of Montana didn't build a
few miles of roads in the state, and
why they didn't locate a few towns, or
watering stations, along the routes. Be
cause western roads are not like paved
boulevards is the excuse of one visitor
for starting his return trip. He'd go
by train if it weren't for the expense
of shipping the car.
