BACHELOR TAXES
TO BE RETURNED

Single men who last year paid the
much-discussed "bachelor tax" may
get it back by applying for it properly
to the county commissioners, accord
ing to a ruling of Attorney General
Wellington D. Rankin.
The poll tax of So imposed on all
unmarried men in the state by the last
legislature was recently declared UNI
constitutional by the Montana supreme
court. Considerable doubt has been
expressed as to whether the various
counties could be compelled to refund
the taxes already paid. The attorney
generals opinion was given upon the
request of William L. Bullock, county
attorney of Pondera county. Mr.. Ran
kin quotes from section 1922 of the
Revised Codes of 1921, as follows:
ANY taxes, per centum and costs,
paid more than once or enormously or
illegally collected, may, by order of
the board of county commissioners, be
refunded by the county treasurer, and
the states portion of such tax, per-
centage and costs, must be refunded to
the county, and the state auditor must
draw his warrant therefore in favor of
the county"
1t is further held that IAN uncon-
stitutional law is in reality no law,
but is wholly void, and in legal con-
temptation is imperative as if it had
never been passed. Since an uncon-
stitutional law is void, it imposes
son."
The attorney general, however, ad-
mits that Gin cases where taxes illeg-
ally collected have been disbursed, the
authorities are divided as to the right
of recovery in the taxpayer, but those
holding that no such right exists were
usually based upon some special rea-
son.
In the instance of the bachelor
tax, it is said that the money already
collected by the counties has not vet
been disbursed and that it will be
necessary for the county t~reasurers to
refund to any bachelor making the
proper application.

FOUND IN OUR
EXCHANGES
Timely Advice.

A sound criticism of the direct pri.
mary law as employed for the nomina-
tions of judges was made by CHIEF
Justice Theodore Brantly at the lunch
con in his honor by u newly organ
lied University Club.
Justice Brantly, too, was obviously
right in his demand that the judiciary
be taken out of politics.
"No man cares whether it is a DEM
ocrat or a Republican who rules on
his case," said the speaker. "An that
he wants and all that he needs is a
man who possess as qualifications,
ability, fairness, common sense and
good judgment in the Administration
of justice"
By means of the direct primary, that
element of our citizenship interested
in class government and legislation
has already sought to elect a class
judiciary. Nearly two years ago we
called attention to the campaign of
the Butte Bulletin to elect two candi-
dates for the supreme court on the
observation-disclosures state ticket
because they were known to be friend
ly to the ultra-radical interests of
Montana.
The direct primary plays directly
into the hands of the adherents of a
partisan judiciary. If the time ever
in Montana when men are elect
ed to the supreme court or to any
other court because they may be re-
lied upon to render judicial decisions
in favor of any one class of our peo-
pie, then we may as we'll abandon the
things for which our ~forefathers
fought and won in the war of the
revolution.
We have frequently referred to the
opportunities for incompetence and
, mediocrity that have ben opened by
the direct primary as it is practised in
Montana. Of course, we might worry
along with a good deal of this and still
survive, but when as Judge Brantly
pointed out, it opens a clear way for
the election of an incompetent or a
class judge we think it time for the
people to awaken to the danger.-Mis-
~.soulian.

The Telephone Girl.

Immediately after the roof of the
Knickerbocker Theater in Washing
ton, D. c., caved in under it's weight
of snow last Saturday night a man
who was standing outside of the
building went into a telephone booth
and told Central" what had happened.
The telephone girl did the rest.
This girl realized the situation,
communicated the information to
other members of the office force,
and within ten minutes seventy-two
physicians residing in the Columbia
Exchange district, where was To-
Gated the theater, we're told of the
disaster; every hospital and first aid
agency in the city was notified, a re-
port was made to the War Department
and to the municipal government Of
fices, and the work of rescue and Of
relief was almost instant.
In France the telephone girl proved
her courage and resourcefulness in
war. She had proved it long before
under other conditions of emergency
and of peril. In floods, in famine, in
fire and in riots the telephone girl
has showed the stuff that is in her.
We fear that we do not always re.
member these things in our daily COM
munications with Central. Sometimes,
however, when we do think of them
we are sorry that we have blamed
the telephone girl for annoying things
beyond her control, such as the fact
that the telephone of a friend is busy
when we want to talk to him, and that
perchance we are given the wrong
number when the fault lay not with
the telephone girls keenly attuned
ear but with u own mumbling man.
ner of speech. We hope by this in
adequate tribute that we have made
amends for a somewhat frequent use
of hasty but really unmeant words

GENEVIEVE FARMER HAS
CLOSE CALL FROM ASPHYX-
IATlON BY COAL GAS

Thomas Atkinson who lives in the
Genevieve country nearly met death
on account of being overcome with
coal gas on Friday last.
Mr.. Atkinson returned to him home
Thursday evening from Hinsdale and
went to bed as usual, after filling his
stove with csal. He also closed all
of the windows in the dwelling.
On Friday, his neighbor Tom Pritch-
ard noticed that no one was stirring
around at the Atkinson buildings and
on Friday evening went over to as
certain what was wrong. Upon en-
tering the house he was surprised to
find Mr.. Atkinson upon the bed and,
after repeated efforts to arouse him,
noticed that the room was filled with
coal gas. He Immediately spread the
alarm and summoned DR.. Cockrell
by phone. Mr.. Atkinson was removed
to the home of his mother who lives
near by, where after some strenuous
work by doctor and attendants, he "a
brought to consciousness.
At this writing reports are to the
effect that Mr.. Atkinson has nearly
recovered from the ill effects as above
stated.

distance of GA miles, with n team
and used only in the neighborhood of
9 hours to make the trip.-Hinsdale
