Montana indians CAST
Their First Vote for
Coolidge and Dawes

The vote of the Indians of Mon
tana-their first casting of the
ballot-was pledged to Coolidge
and Dawes in a dramatic declara-
ton by the venerable Chief
Plentycoos, of the Crow nation, at
a Republican meeting at Billings,
Montana, addressed by former
Governor Frank 0. Lowden, of
Illinois. Standing on the stage of
a theater, surrounded by lesser
chiefs, all in war bonnets and
other regalia of rank and peering
at their audience through the
tribal smoked glasses, the Indians
made their pledge through their
aged chief. With the chiefs
pledge went an appeal for honor
able, honest campaigning and
voting, the dignity of which
stirred the audience to tremendous
enthusiasm.

official announcement recently.
That is big news" says a high
way bulletin this week, and its
importance lies in the fact that for

the use of more than 100000 of
highway improvements. Also,
each 81 saved on the average
auto tax costs the road users of
the state the savings on car de
probation and repairs, gasoline,
tire, and other expenses-the big
ger savings coming with every
$780, 900 of road betterments."
In connection with the last
statement, the bulletin refers to
possible gains sacrificed in recent
years under the low tax policy.

Indians Murder :;
Child "Witchss. !"


A winnipeg. Man., dlspatcn
says that the wholesale slaughter
of Indian boys and girls in the Ear
northern district of British Colufn-
bia by their fellow tribesmeu be.
cause they are accused of praotis
ing witchery, has been revealed
by Royal Canadian Mounted Pc
lice investigations, which will cul-
inmate in murder charges against
a squaw and five Indian men.
These natives reached Telegraph
creek in the north of British Go
lumbia, in charge of mounted po.
lice officers, after the redcoated
troopers had been working for
three years to get to- the bottom
of the Indians terrible religious
practices. They will be brought
to Winnipeg for trial.
Reports received by the police
as far back as the spring Of 1921
Indicate that the far northern In.
dians about Lizard river, were
committing numerous murders
among themselves, but only this
summer was the full horror of
their crimes disclosed. Large
numbers of their children, the
police learned, have been put to
death of late years with the most
horrible torture, because they are
alleged to be sorcerers. The child.
rem are usually tied to trees, head
downward, until they perish of
exposure aud starvation. How
many crimes of this sort have tsk-.
en- place in the northern wilderness
the police can only guess, but ap-
parently the murders are system
attic and general.
The squaw who was brought to
Telegraph creek charged with
murder, is alleged to have strsngl-
ed a boy named Athol or Mossas
sin. 1t is alleged that the youth
did not die rapidly when he was
tied head downward to a tree, and
that the woman finally strangled
him to death. The FIVE Indian
men captured with her are charged
with being accessories to the
murder.
The police learned of the mur.
der of Athol a year ago, VIXEN an
Indian named Big Alex, of Nc
Dame Creek reservation, told of
the crime and fixed its date as
| March %, 1928. The season of
1923 was so>far advanced when
Big Alexis information reached
the authoritios that it was impos-
sible forsconstables to invade the
Lizard country until this year.
Last June a patrol started north
along the Yukon line, discovered
the tribe to which Athol belonged,
and finally singled out the squaw
who is alleged to have killed the
boy. Though outnumbered a
hundred to one by the natives,
the constables boldly arrested the
woman and five men alleged to
have been her accomplices.

Florida VS.. Massachusetts,.
Many states, for instance, have in
come tax laws which require that their
residents pay state taxes as well as
federal levies on incomes. Take Mas
sachusetts, for example A Massachu-
sets man having an income OF SoO,OOO
a year, made up half of business in
come and half of taxable investments,
would pay, roughly, $1,000 a year in
income taxes to the state. Under the
Florida law he would pay nothing,
provided he established a residence
there. SO, if he goes to Florida Tor
the winter and remains until April l.,
giving him a residence there, he would
be $1,000 to the good That will pay
good slice OF his winter expenses.
If he has larger income his saving
will be proportionately larger.
John D. Rockefeller pays an income
tax of about 100000 in New York
each year. True, he spends his win
tiers in Florida, but if he were to es-
tablsh a legal residence there he could
save that sum.
Would Ban Inheritance Tax, Too.
Equally as important as the prohibit
ton of income taxes is the prohibition
OF inheritance taxes, in the opinion OF
the Florida legislature With most of
the states scramblng to get a share
of large estates and with the federal
government taking its part there is
need, this legislature believes, for a
commonwealth where a millionaire
might pass away and leave the bulk
of his worldly fortune to his relatives
or to whometer else he might choose
With the federal government and
state collecting income taxes from
him year by year and with both tax
ing a whack at his fortune when he
dies, the millionaire has aroused Flor
ida's sympathy Ii tax-eXempt securi-
ties are ever abolished, as proposed,
the rich man will no longer be able
to salt away his money in these.
Millionaire's Refuge
So Florida is going to provide him

motives. 1t is looking to its own well
