The court sustained the objection
of the defense to permitting Hans p.

THE TAX COMMISSION

The tax commission measure providing the
means and methods for the operation of the
State Board of Equalization as voted for by the
people at the general election last fall has passed
the house and senate. 1t will now go to the gov
ernor for his approval. The measure was passed
by the senate on Tuesday, with only minor am
mendments which it is expected the house will
concur.
There has been a great deal of speculation as
to what would happen to the tax commission bill,
as it has been called, when it reached the senate
committee on Taxation. Newspaper comment has
been somewhat inclined to predict that the SEN
ate committee would introduce amendments or
strike out clauses that would take the real work.
ing force from the commission. This APPARENTLY
has not been done. Senator Leuthold, in voting
for the measure, stated that it was one Of the
administration measures and that it was to be
held responsible for the successful working Of
the law.
Both Leuthold of Saltwater and Paul of
Powell county, who with Healy of Park were the
only ones to vote against the bill, made bitter
attacks upon the provisions of the measure; it
was their contention that too much power is placed
in the hands of the Governor. They declared the
commission could be made into a powerful politi-
cal machine for the benefit of Governor Dixon.
Their arguments seemed to convey the impress
sion that Governor Dixon would do with the tax
commission, what they themselves would do were
they occupying the executive office.
Governor Dixon, if the house concurrs in the
amendments, and the measure becomes a law,
is too shrewd a politician even if nothing else,
than to attempt to use the newly created tax COM
mission for his own personal exploitation. Moth
ing would react more quickly against him, take
from him the support of the people, of the state
than any attempt upon his part to use the com
mission to further his own political advancement
or power. He can make himself stronger poll.
tically in Montana by keeping hands off the tax
commission, once the three men have been select
ed by him and assumed their duties.
Governor Dixon has been fighting a hare
fight to bring the state of Montana out of choas
debt and inequality of tax burdens. So far he has
been bitterly opposed by the powerful interests
of the state who, realizing the situation, wish Il
prevent any change in the present method usec
In levying their taxes. They have been doing i
for themselves, while other industries have ha,
it done for them by the regularly elected officer
of the state.
With the creation of the tax commission
these great industries see the reimbursement O
their taxes, which will bring to the state a large
revenue. This they do not wish to have force
upon them. They look upon Governor Dixon a

Chancellor Brannon made a most favorable
impression while in Bozeman, winning the hearts
of all who met him. He stated that the position
he will occupy while holding the chancellorship
will be that of working with the faculties for the
Greater University of Montana. There will be
no self exploitation, he states which gives the
people a most satisfying belief that the educa-
tional institutions of Montana, sustained with the
money of the people, will be carried onward to
that point of standard of which it is capable. So
long as this attitude is maintained by the chan
.cellor, he can feel assured of the loyal support
and approval of the taxpayers of Montana.
