papers Of the state.
Numerous papers were hostile and
did not fail to give expression to that
hostility. The attacks made were va
rious. Many suspected some political
purpose underlying our organization,
which was not yet revealed. Others
considered us a group OF individuals
banded together for aelf-seeking pur-
poses, ct cetera.
ITO none of these criticisms did we
make reply. We went on the assump-
ton that SO long as our purposes were
right and we adhered to those purposes
our activity would ultimately reveal
our character. In that assumption we
were correct. The newspapers were
the first always to receive our litera-
ture. which was always accompanied
by a personal letter. extending in adj
vance the thanks Of this association
for such wider publicity as the paper
could give our literature.
II am pleased to report that with
the possible exception of three papers
in the state, all the newspapers of the
state are friendly to our work. They
have given us far better support than
we had reason to expect. They have
been a most important factor in dis
seminating we the state vital informa-
ton on the tax question. In several
instances open admissions have been
made to the effect that the work OF
this association reveals nothing other
than a desire to help serve in the So
luton of a serious problem and a for
merly hostile attitude was changed to
one of outspoken support. Let it be
said in concluding this part of the re-
port. that this association should feel
gratified at the assistance and gen.
erous support given to its work by the
press of the state"

Empty Chairs Greet
Judge Bomqun When
Federal Court OPENS

The sun shone brightly on empty
chairs and benches in the United
States district court room Mon
day morning and there was but one
attorney to greet Federal Judge
George M. Bourquin when he
took his place at the bench for
the mornings session. The attor-
ney was w. II. Meigs, assistant
United States attorney, the gov
ernment's legal staff for this term
of court.
On motion of Attorney Meigs,
the civil case involving the sale
of a Cole automobile belonging to
Rosetta s. Rotta of Roundup was
dismissed by the court. Mr.. Meigs
explained that the car had already
been disposed of during the Grim
inal action against the car, seized
under. the internal revenue laws
by federal authorities last fall.
There were no attorneys who
appeared with motions, demurrers
or other law matters to present to
the court, so after a short dis
cussion with Attorney Meigs,
Judge Bourquin adjourned court
until $50 o'clock this morning.
Several law matters are expected
to be brought up today, relative
to cases which were brought up at
the winter term of court here and
other cases which will be brought
up at the September term.
Others in the federal court per-
sonnet are United States Marshal
Joseph J.. Asbridge and Deputy
Clerk of the United States District
Court Harry Walker

Hotter RF-ElFC7FD PRESIDENT
MONTANA TAXPAYERS assn.
"A. A. Frankie, Secretary, Makes Annual Report
Outlining Accomplishments of Organiza-
ton; Next Years Work Planned.

All officers Of the Montana Taxpay-
ers' association board of directors
were reelected at the session of the
board held Monday at Hotel Rainbow,
attended by representatives of some Id
counties of the state.
The officers reelected were: Nor
man +. Hotter of Helena, president;
George B. Bourne, Of Havre, vice
president; w. J. johnson Of Lewis
town, treasurer; John Q~uickenden, OF
Lewistown. G.. H. Williams. of Deer
Lodge, +. l.. Gibson. of Livingston,
Harry Gallwey, Of Butte, A. A. Morris,
B. j. Boorman, Of Great Falls, Ed Z.
Kurtz, Of Hamilton, members OF the
executive committee; and A. A.
Frankie, of Lewistown. secretary.
To Name Legislative Committee.
The board decided to continue its
educational work in showing tax condl-
tons and the need of curtailing public
expenditures. The executive commit
tee was authorized to name a legisla-
tive committee to study changes needed
in the laws to effect reductions in some
of the government expenditures.
Among those in attendance in addi-
ton to officers and executive COM
mittee members were: Oscar Crutch-
field Of Missoula, Senator b. c. White,
of Buffalo, F. f. Haynes, of Forsyth,
Judge John A. Mathews, of Townsend,
Senator 8. A. Hefferlin. Of Livingston,
L. B. Carroll, of Roundup.
Mr.. Frankie, the secretary, sub
mitted his report for the work of the
first five months Of the organization.
The report read in part:
'The association has just closed five
months of it's existence. 1t is the judg-
ment of your secretary that the ac-
complishments have been many and far
reaching. Beginning with nothing ex-
cept the determination to achieve a

only success must come from an en-
lightened public sentiment It takes
time and repeated effort to inform and
finally get into action such public
sentiment, but in that alone rests the
assurance Of results.
"Only next to the work Of the presi-
dent for the association is that Of the
executive committee. All have gone
beyond reasonable demands in giving
Of time and thought to the work of the
association.
This association has compiled, up
to date, more information on the sub
ject of our public finances than were
ever before gathered in the history of
our state. The work is not yet COM
pleted. 1t is an arduous task, oftimes
verv slow and involving a great mass
Of detail. But following the methods,
so far pursued, when finished, this
association will have a record Of Mon
tana's financial history that will be
invaluable.
Montana's Heavy Load
THAT record, insofar as compiled,
has been a revelation, not to say a
matter of establishment to all who have
considered it. The story of our pub
lie expenditures is a story of increases,
with a consequent increase in the bur-
dent of the tax load. The seriousness
Of the tax situation can be readily COM
pretended when it is stated that since
1914 our annual levy tax bill has in
creased 1874 per cent as against an
increase in the population of only %
per cent. During the last four years
u tax bill has grown by approximate
ly $1.5OO,OOO a year. This year our
tax bill totals $27. 100000. Our valua-
ton as assessed is only $4S6, 600, 900.
Thus our tax bill constitutes Sc per
cent of our assessed valuation, or 1.8
per cent of our full and true value.
Add to this the various special taxes.
federal income taxes, ct cetera. and
we have the total of 100000 the
people of Montana are required to pay.
This is 8.S per cent of our assessed
valuation, or 3 per cent of our full and
true valuation. No industry can be
required to pay such a tax and continue
to exist, to say nothing about thriving
and being prosperous.
THE second part of the program of
this association was to bring these
serious facts about our public finances
to the attention of our citizen and to
stimulate an interest that would seek
remedies. This we have sought to
accomplish by various means. The
first work towards this end was to
arrange the information gathered in
such a manner as would make it intelli-
gible to the average taxpayer not over
~ conversant with financial data. The

qua ~ -
nor left in the pursuit of its aims.
Compiled Complete Information.
Il. 1t has made so far the nearest
complete and most exhaustive complia-
ton of accurate and dependable data
on public expenditures and the cost OF
maintaining government that has ever
been made in the history Of Montana.
No one ever before even made an at
tempt at such an undertaking.
"2. This information has been
SPREAD among the people of the state
on a scale never before attempted.
Through the efforts Of this associa-
ton, the question of public expendi-
lures and tax levies has been forced
into the front among the very import
ant issues now in the thought of the
people, Many aside from those 0 n
nected with this association have ap-
peared before public audiences and
sought to stimulate public interest in
this question. Hundreds of articles
have been written in the papers of the
state and circulated. But invariably
the information gathered, published and
broadcasted by this association has
been the source for such appeals and
comments. All of which combine to
make true the statement that the peo-
pie have never been SO stimulated in
thought about these public financial
questions as during the past five
months, and directly and indirectly this
organization has been the fountain
source for that stimulus.
Enlightened Public Needed
But the work is only begun. While
on.,a1 hno kan .yarnI cfII Yrnrn ~n-
mains to be done. Final success can
be reached only by continued vigilance.
There is a mass Of information still to
be compiled. The work Of educating
the public must be continuous. The
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-06-06

second step was to get the information
into the hands of the people, and then
to arouse that interest and concern
for action.
What Has Been Done
Edwards that end your association
has done the following:
1.-THE secretary has Travelled ovei
a considerable area of the state adj
dressing public meetings of taxpayers
giving the people the facts regarding
their public finances, stimulating pub
lie interest and giving direction and as
~sistance in the organization of local
and county associations to study local
conditions and counsel with officials
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-06-06

cant to note that the examiner states
that II the law Is enforced there can
be no registered warrants. The pur.
pose behind the bulletin besides the d.
| rect information it carries is to awaken
an interest in the tax bill at the only
| time when it can possibly serve a pur-
pose, namely, when the annual budget
is prepared.
Editorial Comment Compiled
aside from the publications men,
| toned above, the association printed
several other pieces Of iteratur. The
constitution and bylaws were printed
in small pamphlet form for distribu-
pamphlet setting forth the aims and
purposes Of this association, together
with q form Of constitution and in
struction for the organization Of coun-
ty associations.
"A compilation of editorial COM
ments by the papers of the state was
made and a page Of selected comments
was printed and distributed among the
newspapers of tae state.
SO. The secretary has gathered a
mailing list. This list represents the
substantial taxpayers of the respective
counties. The list now comprises more
than $4,000 names, and only four coun-
ties remain to make it complete and
representative of the taxpayers of
Montana. In some instances difficulty
was experienced in getting the mailing
list, all of which was overcome, how
ever, without leaving any ~prejudices
against the association.
1.-The basis for success in the OBJ
jects of this association are considered
to be an informed public and a de-
veIoping public sentiment for economy
and efficiency in administration Of pub
lie affairs. In this, as in all other
matters, an intelligent public opinion
will be the force that will finally settle
the evil. Towards that end a proper
mailing list is invaluable and almost
"a first requirement. 1t is by con-
~tinually hammering fundamental facts
into the brain of the taxpayer and
placing before him these facts on the
printed page SO that he may refer to
them and familiarize himself with them
that we can hope to develop that public
opinion that is necessary for a solu-
ton of our tax problems. Such liter
allure as the association printed from
time to time was sent to the names on
the mailing list.
Newspapers Attitude
Immediately following the organiza-
ton of this association it became a
subject for newspaper comment. 1t
might be said that the organization of
this association solicited some com
ment from all but a very few of the

Work Of, Writing
Assessment Books
for g 2 Is Begun

Work Of writing the 1922 assess.
ment books. which win require at least
a month to complete. was started
Monday by County Assessor Harold
Mady. Three deputy assessors, Dor
othy Ball, w. B. Law and Otto Speck,
were appointed by the assessor Monday
and will serve until the assessment
rolls are completed. Paul Hagen, dep
uty county treasurer, is also temper.
arily employed in the assessors Office.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-06-06

in matters Of conserving tho tax dol
lar. Largely as the result Of these
efforts % counties Of the state now
have some sort Of a taxpayers organ
~ization, although a few Of these organ
lied without any assistance from this
association.
'"The SUCCESS Of the county ~organiza-
| tons has been variable. It ranges all
the way from negligible to notable sue
cess. In some instances members
found an opportunity TO use the organ
ization for spite purposes, or to gain
political advantage and lost sight OF
the real purpose to be served. But in
every %instanc. it served to aronse
thought and to direcr public attention
to the seriousness Of our public ex-
lenoiture problem.
THE information compiled was
printed in a series of bulletins for pub
lie distribution. In esch instance co.
QhO copies were printed.
Bulletin No. / shows the manner in
which our tax bill has grown from year
to year, the per capita tax and the
division of the tax dollar between state,
counties, schools and cities. 1t also
gives detailed expenditures for eelnen-
tary and high schools for the years
1914 to 1920.
Individual Is Responsible
Bulletin No. 2 gives the total tax
bill of the state for all purposes for
the years 1902-1921, a detailed state
ment of expenditures for each county
for governmental purposes, a COMPARE
son of items of school expenditures be-
tween 1914 and 1920 with school en-
rollment, the bonded Indebtedness Of
state and counties, together with reg
istered warrants and sinking fund and
a statement Of expenditures for roads
and bridges for 1914-1920. We sought
in this bulletin to drive home the idea
that the individual is responsible for
the Indebtedness since he has voted
bonds without discretion and that an
improvement can only come from at
tention to these matters by the lndl-
vidual.
Bulletin No. 3 is just off the press
and has been distributed in a limited
way only up to his date. This bulletin
is devoted to the budget law. Thu
association has adopted and publishes
this slogan: More business for the
public dollars, less dollars for the pub
lie business Aside from printing the
budget law the bulletin brings out the
salient features of the law and the re-
quirements of the various officers I'M
der the law. The bulletin also con-
tains a letter sent to county commits
sioners by J.. Q. SHELTON. state exam
liner, which in specific terms sets forth
the purposes of the law. 1t is signifl-
