ROAD AND POLL TAX LAW UNCOn-
STITUTI0hAL; COUNTY LOSES OUT

Officials of Cascade county are al
sea over the supreme court decision
of last week declaring the poll" tax
law of 1891 unconstitutional, in add
ton to the bachelor tax passed by the
last legislature. The same condition
would seem to obtain in other coun-
ties of the state.
Attorney General Rankin has not
gone into the ruling fully. but is sure
that both the road and poor tax of
81 per head which have been collected
for 80 years. were declared %unconsti-
tutional; but that the poor tax could
be provided for by the county COM
missioners if they desired to make a
levy of 81 per head upon men and
women alike between the years of
81 and so. This in accordance with
a constitutional provision. The road
tax, however, was a different propo-
sition, and Mr.. Rankin was not ready
to say as to whether there was any
way in which the commissioners
could assess it as a per capita tax,
but promised an opinion later.
The board of county commissioners
of Cascade county, and the office of
County Treasurer Fred C. Andretta,
were particularly interested as to the
repayment of funds paid under the
bachelor tax, the poor tax and the road
tax, the last two being 81 each and
the first So. Should such repayment
have to be made it would be disas-
trous to the county in a number of
ways, but it is not believed that such
collection can be enforced except
where the payment was made under
protest. AS the poor and road tax
has been collected for 30 years with
out protest there would hardly be a
repayment there, and in the bach
elor tax. but few protests were
made7as we'll as few payments.
The bachelor tax. which started
was the hobby. bill of Repre-
T. H. Mcdonald of Kalis-
pell, and was killed once in the house,
when some unfeeling member amen
ded by adding women over 21 years
age to its provisions: it was dug
up again, however, by the Kalispell
man and passed as one of the tax
measures of the assembly.
In Cascade county 5000 was col
ected in bachelor tax for 1921. this
'um going to the widows pension
and s10464 was collected for 1921

Table Shows the
School Tax LeVieS

For the purpose Of showing the re-
lation Of the different school dis
tricts in Cascade county as regards
taxation. Clerk and Recorded John Il.
Moran has compiled a table showing
he proportion Of taxes paid by each
district. According to the table, dis
trict No. /, comprising the city Of
Great Falls. pays So 3-4 per cent Of
all the taxes paid in the county, the
Tax levy in that city being 58.6l7
mills, while the levy outside of that
city is 41.177 mills. The true valu-
alton Of the properly in that city is
SIC, 959752.
The Stockett-Sand Coulee district,
No. 5, is the second largest. the true
being 1886, 073, and the
tax valuation $1,140,2f2. The couns
ty and state tax levy is 36.617 mills
and. the school tax levy 30 mills.
The Belt district, No. 20, has ia true
valuation Of S2,540,605 and tax val
of $3.50. 695. The tax levy in
The city is 72.617 mills and outside Of
.he city 63.117 mills. The county
init district, which includes all the
districts other than Great Falls, Belt

lble valuation of s10.641 ,528.

books of County Treasurer Andretta.
and something like SO. 900 on the road
poll tax, the first taking in every
male between the ages of 81 and go
and the later between II and so.
During the year of 1921, according
to the records of County Auditor F.
G. Roosevelt. the county poor fund
expenditure was ST. ,496, so that the
cutting off of the poll tax would
mean cutting off o~ne-seventh of the
county oor-receipts@For the road
tax the amount would be a much
smaller percentage.
The opinion of the supreme court
was based upon the constitutional
provision that the legislature has no
power to levy a tax of any kind on
a county for county purposes alone,
that being left where it can be done
at all, to the board of county COM
missioners.
Il have not had time to look into
the decision, said County Attorney
w. j. Tighe. "as | have seen nothing
of it yet except what appeared in the
Helena dispatches. | have always
thought that the bachelor tax would
be held as unconstitutional upon the
grounds of class legislation. if for no
other reason"

Judith Taxpayers
Kicking ON Bond
Interest & Bonus

Taxpayers of Judith Basin county
are not ~prticularly pleased with the
deal made by the commissioners for
the sale of the $500. 900 worth of or
%ganization bonds, which were sold at
8 per cent and a premium which net
ted the county but $3.50. While the
premium was quoted as being $500,
it develops that the bond house had
a contract with the commissioners
calling for the payment of $2,250 for
handling the legal proceedings in on
nection with the issue, so that the ac-
tual premium amounted to but $3.50.
1t is pointed out that other county
bonds have sold recently at 5 IL per
cent, and 1t is believed that in view
of the fact that these are the only
bonds of the new county, issued 10
pay the indebtedness to Cascade and
Fergus counties, Judith Basin county
should enjoy as good or better credit
as other counties. Some county's
bonds have sold for as low as 4 Ia
per cent, and it is figured that at
the 6 per cent interest rate Judith
Basin county viii pay $4,000 more
interest on its bonds than as though
they had sold at 3 ID per cent and
$4,000 more than if they had sold
at 5 per cent.

Predicts Development of
Belt Mountain Iron Ores

J.. G. Dow, Of the Montana Power
company, in speaking before the
AID club Of Great Falls last Friday
noon, stated that through the evolu-
ton of the new electric process and
the use of electric power the great
deposits of iron ore in the Belt
mountains may shortly be converted
into metals. and local speculation is
coupling his remarks somewhat with
the local activity in coal fields and
the fact that an effort toward the
purchase of the towHsite of ARM
ingtor, near which the iron ore bod
les lie, have been reported. Mr..
BOWS statement was made in con-
nection with a demonstration of a
small electric steel furnace which
melted metals and the molten metal
was poured into tiny moulds while
the guests watched.
There are great deposits of iron
ore, also of coal in the Little Belt
mountains, over an area of 80 miles,
said Mr.. Dow. which could now be
utilized in this way. This coal and
iron together will now be used in a
new type of furnace and a new pro-
cess now being perfected, which will
develop a. new industry in Montana,
he said.
