TAX FORCE REMAINS
At JOBS ABOLISHED
BY D|X0N'S DECREE
Employees of Board of EquaIiza-
ton, Now Nonresident, Face
Work With No Pay.
Tribune's Helena Bureau

Helena, Dec. 19.-Regardless of the
fact that the old state board Of equal
ization went out of existence December
IA. the force of assistants, clerks and
stenographers employed by the board
is remaining at work with no official
standing and will take chances upon the
legislature providing means for their
pay.
There are seven of these employees.
from Nils p. Haugen. the Wisconsin
tax expert. down to the stenographers,
and it now looks as though they may
have to wait for several months be-
fore they win draw any more pay
checks.
When the old board of equalization
held it's last regular meeting, nearly
two weeks ago. the question of the
providing Of pay for the employees in
the period between the dissolution of
the old board and the coming into being
Of the tax commission authorized by
the voters was discussed and the mat
ter was left over TO be disposed of
the following day. The board, however.
never again assembled and it went out
Of existence with the governors proc
lamation on the adoption of the tax
commission amendment to the consti-
tuition.
The employees of the board were in
formed by Attorney General w. d.
Rankin that they were no longer in
the employ of the state and that he
would not approve of a payroll for the
force after December 10. A similar
stand was taken by Secretary Of State
G. I. Stewart. but when the matter
was brought to the attention of Gov
ernor Joseph NJ. Dixon, the remaining
member of the board Of examiners, he
instructed the assistants to remain on
the job and some way would be found
TO pay. them.
Accordingly. the seven assistants are
still at work but they do not know
when they will see another pay day
or how it will be brought about.

Berg Gas Line
Half Way to Shelby

The gas line from the Ohio-Berg
well in the southern part of the Kelvin
Sunburst field has been laid half way
to Shelby. according to A. NJ. Sellery
of the Ohio Oil company. who arrived
in Great Falls Tuesday night from the
field.
Good Roadway is being made during
the present warm weather by the
Great Falls Gas company in laying the
mains for distribution in Shelby, he
said.
After the cold weather, drilling op-
erations in the field are again getting
under way well. The weather is warm
er i the field than in Great Falls and
the snbw is melting rapidly. The water
is running through the c%oulees and the
reservoirs are catching much of it,
promising to give a good supply of
water for drilling.
Mr.. Sellery will leave this morning
for his home in Nebraska to spend the
Christmas holidays. He will return to
the northern Montana oil fields soon
after the first of the year.

Possibility that the Ohio-Berg No. :
well in the southern part of the kevln-
Sunburst field may come in as n Christ
mas nresent for northern Montana is
expressed by oil men who are interested
in this part of the fields
The well is reported to be at a depth
Of about ,215 feet and is running cas-
me. The well encountered the red beds
Of the Kootenai, usually taken as the
mark in the field. at a little greater
depth thar in the first well drilled some
distance to the north. So the well is
regarded as slightly lower structurally
than the first well.
The heavy gas flow in the first well
is taken by oil men as making the
second well promising for possible oil
production in the same horizon. 1t is
understood that this we'll will be car
ried through the gas should this be
encountered and prospect the Ellis

Drilling on the Berg No. . has been

UNCERTAINTY HATS
BOARDS ACTION To
SELECT CHANCELLOR
Rankin Opposes Wisconsin Can
didate With Fears That Of
flee May Be Abolished.
{Tribune's Helena Bureau)

Helena. Dec. I9.-Considerable I'M
certainty exists regarding the filling Of
the office of chancellor of the Uni
versity of Montana in spite Of the
action Of the state board of education,
taken December II, in rendering the
office TO DIR. NJ. A. Brannon, president
Of Beloit college.
At the special meeting of the board
when DIR. Brannon appeared before it
there was not a full attendance and
while it was understood that the offer
of the position to DIR. BrannOn was
made through the unanimous vote OF
the board, some opposition has since
developed, principally upon the part Of
Attorney General w. y. Rankin who
was not present at the meeting.
Two Voted Negative
1T is understood that when the first
vote was taken in the board meeting
two of the members voted in the
negative but when they saw the major
itv stood favorable to DIR. Brannon
they changed their votes to conform
to the expression of the majority,
thereby making the action unanimous
as far as were concerned those mem
bers present.
DR.. Brannon had insisted that he
would consider the position only in the
event that the board was unanimous
i'll calling him to the chanceliorship.
However, three members of the board.
Attorney General Rankin. James w.
Freeman and Judge Sydney Sanner
were not in attendance.
Mr.. Rankin. who was in Missoula
at the time the meetings were held.
returned to Helena later in the day
on which the action was taken n he
Immediately took issue with the board.
1t is known that Mr.. Rankin was I'M
decided as to the necessity of the en-
ployment of a high salaried man to
fill the office, was not sure that there
was any real need for the office and
he also harbored an idea that If the
office was to be continued it might be
possible to obtain a Montana man to
fill it.
Expect No Definite Move
The attorney general had a confer
ence with DIR. Brannon before his re-
turn to Wisconsin and he made known
to the candidate his objections to the
action of the board and it is said
impressed upon the latter his fears
that the next legislature might take
some action towards abolishing the
office.
AT tnaC time Df. bfannOn informed
Mr.. Rankin hat he would not think
of giving up his present position and
coming to Montana unless he had the
unanimous support of the state board
Of education. Since his return to Wis
consin he has been in Communication
by mail with Mr.. Rankin and others
of the state board but has not yet
announced a decision in the matter.
1t is possible that no definite move
will be made in the matter until the
coming legislature shall have adjourned
snd all danger Of change in the chancel-
iorship system shall have passed.

ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF
PIMA COTTON SEED

Reports have been circulated that
there is danger Of a serious shortage
Of pure Pima planting seed for the
coming season. A careful resurvey
OF the available pure seed supply as
made by the pure seed committee
OF the Maricopa County Farm Bureau
shows there Is an ample amount for
all reasonable estimated require
ments. In addition to the above a re-
serve supply has been arranged for to
cover possible increase in the esti-
mated acreage and whatever may be
needed to replant in case OF unsea-
sonable weather during the planting
season.
1t is believed that the mechanics
for handling the pure seed supply in
this valley has been perfected to the
extent that il is on a more con-
structive and permanent basis than
heretofore and that the future supply
can be definitely assured.
