BiIlings.-What was considered 10
be an outline of Governor Dixon's tax
program was represented TO the State
Tax association convention here by
Frank Woody, former attorney general
OF Helena, In an address on "What the
Next Session of the Legislature Can
Accomplish Towards Tax Reform"
Mr.. Woody gave first Importance to
the enactment by the legislature of a
law vesting the new state tax commits
sion. created at the last election by
vote OF the people under name of the
state board of equalization. with GER
tain powers, imposing certain duties on
1t, and prescribing the manner in which
such powers shall be exercised and
such duties performed"
He also urged the passage Of a
proper" Inheritance tax law, and an
income tax law. advocated the repeal
Of the present county budget law and
the enactment of "a new and compre-

ent laws governing the issuance OF
bonds by cities, counties and school dis

Held Cheering News

ciated Press John Milne Barbour,
who is Sir James Craig's Deputy
Finance Minister. described the news
of the agreement between Michael
Collins and Sir James as "the best we
have had yet and the most cheering"
He thought it eminently desirable that
the North and South combine in the
interest of the common country so
long as the autonomy of Ulster is pre-
served.
The general feeling here is that the
agreement is an outcome Of Mr.. Col
lins's desire to protect the Free State
in the coming elections against the
menace of a possible combination of
Republicans and Communists, as there
are many of the latter in the Trans
port Workers. Union. The Ulster
Premier, on his part, is anxious for
peace within the six-county borders.
The Ulster Unionists naturally will
welcome the raising Of the boycott,
but are apprehensive of trouble with
the shipyard workers on the question
Of the restoration of Catholic work
murder of Colonel Smyth in Cork.
There has been heavy increase in
unemployment in the shinyards in the
last year and it is considered definite
y certain that the Protestant work
men will insist that their co-rcligion-
lists be given priority in the filling Of
jobs.
Lord Pirric holds the same view with
regard to the situation as does the Ul-
ster Premier. but believes that it will
be long time before the bitterness
engendered by the shootings and bomb
ings on both sides dies out. Matters,
however, he thinks, would be facili-
tated if the British government were
prepared to finance large relief
scheme, as the Ulster Labor Ministry
has been sorely tried by the unem-
ployment problem.

lso The nations must be prepared

"Order will restore confidence. We
must establish real peace in the

The Premier, in referring to inter
national conferences in general, said
that if there had been n conference in
July. 1914, there would have been no
war IN August, 1914.
"No international conference ever
settled Europe's problems," he said,
"but they have advanced the cause Of
peace .on Garth I have profound con-
vlce.en and faith in the ultimate rea-
son Of mankind"
He said men who thought they could
cleanse Europe Of its ills in two or
three years were either ignorant Of the
real conditions or were misleading the
public.
"What has happened in France" he
continued, "shows how YEARLY we must
tread among so many bristlng sus-
pcions. There is only one way to
reach the goal--by insisting upon

WASHINGTON

Mrs. Frances C. Axtell of Belling-
ham is contesting the Republican NOM
ination for United States senator.
Mrs. Axtell has the Endorsement of
the state federation of labor, the
Railwaymen's Political league and the
Nonpartisan league.
The hostile press of the country ad-
mits that "she is making a spirited
campaign and political leaders admit
that she may win the nomination"

WISCONSIN

The campaign in Wisconsin has now
been on for several weeks and it is
the hottest political fight that has
ever been waged in the badger state.
Senator La Toilette is up. for re-
election and of course the reaction
aries are out to "get him." Rather,
they are waging bitter fight on him
as there is little hope that "Fighting
Bob" can be defeated.
AS in Minnesota and North Dako-
ia, the reactionaries held pre-
primary convention and indorsed a
full slate of candidates to oppose the
progressives. The Rev. W. A. Gan
field, recently head of a small college
in Kentucky and now president of a
similar institution in Wisconsin, was
selected to make the race against La
Toilette. While the convention plat
form reeks with denunciation of Sen
ator La Toilette and the Nonpartisan
league, the Rev. Garfield is not max
ing his appeal as a reactionary, but
rather assures the people that he is
progressive, and not a radical as he
designates La Toilette. AS stated
above, no one is in doubt as to what
the outcome will be. La Toilette will
win an easy victory at the primary on
September 5.
Governor John J. Blaine is being
opposed by Attorney General William
j. Morgan, who was selected by the
Milwaukee convention as the best bet
for governor. Morgan is clever
campaigner and is playing the North
Dakota I. V. A. game of pledging
himself to much progressive legis-
lation. However, his past record
clearly shows that he has never been
progressive in any sense of the word.
For years Mr.. Morgan was one of the
leaders of the reactionary forces in
the city of Milwaukee. While Blaine's
, record entities him to reelection there
is no Disgusting the fact that he has
real battle on his hands. In fact Mr..
Blaine has harder fight than any of
the other farmer-labor candidates.
Lieutenant Governor George F.
Comings is candidate for reelection
and is being opposed for the Repub-
lican nomination by Riley s. Young,
former speaker of the Wisconsin as
sembly. Young is thorough-going
reactionary and was chosen by the
Milwaukee convention because of his
record in behalf of big business while
in the legislature. Comings, however,
has the edge in the race and it is
generally believed that he will win
with ease. .-...
All of the progressive congressman
are candidates for reelection. There
is little doubt but that they will all

In three-cornered fight, the chances

Nonpartisan league. "The League

100000 Telephones Moved
