We became a dial-twister Of the
most rabid variety.
The Republican radio rally. which
was boosted into q dve.station at

spasmodicaIIy. As a rally 1t lacked
the enthusiasm Of the shows Of this
older days, the red.flares and the
frenzied cheers. 1t was all to cut

.0NE-MAN CAR RULE
D|SAPPO|NTS HAM
Utilities Commission Refuses
to Allow w. R. e. to In
stall Ten More.

The Public Utilities Commission
yesterday afternoon denied the petit
tion Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company to install 10 more
one-man cars. The decision will not
interfere with the operation of the 70
cars of that type already in use.
William +. Ham, president Of the
company, said this morning that he
was disappointed over the decision Of
the commission, but preferred not to
discuss 1t in detail until he has seen
copy of the order.
At the public hearing on the one
man car case last week Mr.. Ham de-
clared street car travel was declining
steadily and that economy Of opera
tion was imperative. He added that II
the company Is not encouraged in tta
efforts to economize a higher fare
might be necessary.
No Fare Boost Indications.
There were no indications today
however, that the company would
because Of the inability to install the
10 additional one-m cars. If these
cars had been allowed, the saving to
the company in year would have
been s23,000. but an onicial of the
commission pointed out that 1T would
have cost substantially that much tc
equip the cars, thus offsetting the saw
ing for the first year.
The formal order OF the commission
may not go into details as to the
reasons for rejecting the application
but 1t Is understood the commission
took the view that one-man cars
cannot be moved over the tracks rs
expeditiously as two-man cars and
that yehicuIar traffic is DELAYED
longer at corners where one-man
cars stop.

for the Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations, led the opposition to the one
man cars. assisted by representatives
of a number of individual associations

For nearly three hours Governor
Dixon addressed an interested audi
ence, estimated at nearly 700 people,
at the Beartooth theatre last Thurs
day night. For the first time during
the campaign the people Of Red Lodge
learned the governors side Of story
Of state finances and the struggle Of
the executive against the big copper
and power interests. Of the state to
equalize the tax burden. The dis
closures Of the governor were reve-
lation TO the large majority of the
audience who have received their i'm
formation on state tax matters prin-
cipally through the anti-administra-
tion papers circulated by the copper
and power interests. The governors
au4sc6s was convincing and many left
the theatre with their views entirely
changed.
After a patriotic selection by the
Red Lodge band the governor was in
troduced by John 6. Skinner, chair
man Of the County Republican Cen
1ral Committee. The speaker an
nounced that he would have the dis
cussion Of national issues to other
speakers who would appear in Red
lodge during the campaign, and he
thought that the audience would be
more interested in learning from him
something about their own state and
the struggle TO have taxation on an
equitable basis. He further stated
that the man reason for the attempt
of the copper interests to control the
state government this election was the
desire to control the appointment of
two members of the state tax commits
sion, who will hold office for six years.
Upon the appointment Of these two
commissioners largely depends the
success or failure Of the plan for tax
equalization in Montana.
The government explained that on
ly 4bc of the states rvenue In deriv-
ed from direct taxation. The balance
Of 55c Of the state tax dollar is coll
iected from other sources, such as a
license tax on insurance premiums,
corporation profits, a tax on coal pro-
luction, fees Of the secretary Of state
and from other similar sources.
The direct property tax for state
purposes is limited by the constitution
70 mills and can not be increased by
additional levy as can the leyies Of
counties, school districts, etc. when
this will not prove sufficient to meet
the demands Of the state. With the
shrinkage in property values, the tax
Is resulting from the mill levy have
shrunk to the extent Of $520,0O0 an
aually In the past four or five years.
In addition to this the state lost ap-
proximately s350,0o0 year from IL
Iuor licenses.
As the expenses Of the state govern
ment are practically fixed charges
lther sources Of revenue were neces-
sary.
Until 1918 the state income and ex-
oenditures we're about equal. With
