the payment of interest and sinking fund.
This law has provided that . levy MAJ be made for interest
and sinking fund beyond the ten mill special levy and this fact haa
enabled many boards Of trustees to raise the district levy many
mills without vote of the taxpayers.
One school district that we know of built a hundred thousand
dollar school building simply because they could bond for that
amount which really means that for interest and sinking fund the
district must set apart approximately $1,000 each year fol
twenty years which is about onethird of their total revenue
The present tax law increased out of all proportion the taxes
of the farmers when they could least afford to pay it.
To wander back to the legislature. We suppose they will have
just as many clerks as usual, just as many steno4raphers, viii
have to buy a new typewriter for each stenog, as on former occa,
sions because prediction promises are made to be broken. VIZ
suppose that instead OF cutting down the multiplicity OF boards
and commissions which are responsible for our high tax rate and
whose sole duties seem to be In getting out propaganda to perpet
uate themselves in office, they will add the usual quota to the al
ready top heavy list.
Should they get down to brass tacks and abolish about forty
leven of these commissions and combine all the rest into one-third
of their number we would all sit back, smile to ourselves, clasp our
hands and say did you ever 7" And after this was done we would
sit down and write to our representatives a letter congratulating
them on their action and wonder if the people are really waking
up to the fact that we are no longer q free people but one shackled
by the superabundance of laws, restrictions, rules, regulations, re-
ports, statements, etc., twined about oru necks by our own legis-
lators assisted very materially by the commissions and boards
whom they have created.
Here's hoping!

THE LEGISLATURES.

Within a few days the newly elected legislature will meet. A
few days viii be spent in the partisan scrap for the organization
of the house. A few statesmen in embryo will attempt to get the
stage In the usual manner in order to make their constituents
imagine they are going to rectify all the evils of our democratic
government in one fell swoop.
After a few days of bombast and oratory the silent conserva-
tive majority will take matters in their own hands and the session
will proceed much as heretofore. Whether the Dixon forces will
be able to organize the house is problematcal. Much that we hear
OF their plans for a taxation program we put down to propaganda
emanating from their political enemies. We do not believe that
any sane body of men will attempt to drive any of our large COR
porations from the state. When an organization is paying a large
share of the taxes of the state, when they are cutting no melons
and have been compelled to pass their dividends we can not see
what useful end can be served in adding to their burdens. On the
other hand the oil game has passed its infancy. There is oil in Mon
tana and it will be developed. We certainly believe that the tax
on oil produced in the state should be trebled. We believe that
there Is q tremendous lot of property escaping taxation in Montana
and that measures should be taken to put an equitable tax on this
We believe that the last tax law should be repealed and that an
other law more equitable and less filled with opportunities for ex
travagance should be enacted.
For instance, there is a constitutional provision limiting the
bonding power of municipal and school corporations to three per
cent Of their assessed valuation. This law has worked out in such
. way ~ to treble the bonding power of cities and school districts
A . result many school districts are bonded to their eyebrows and
lr some years to come must use one-third of their revenues for
