Quarantine Against Agricultural and
Forest Pests Removed by
Proclamation

Three quarantine proclamations, IN
tended to protect the forests and az
ricultural products OF the state from
infection by plant disease prevalent
IN other sections of the country, have
been issued by Gov. J. E. Erickson.
One OF these declares against the
shipment into the state Of the black
currant. and provides for the destruc-
ton Of any black currant found within
the state as a preventative against
the disease known as white pine Bills
ter, now existing in the western part
OF Washington and In British Column
bia.
One declares against the bringing
into the state of potatoes from the
state OF California, unless by inspec-
ton they are found to be entirely free
from the potato ellworm and the po-
tato tuber moth.
Another prohibits the importation
into the state OF the barberry bush as
a preventative OF the dissemination OF
wheat rust.

TAX OBLIGATION
OF STATE IS GUT
AUDITORS REPORT SHOWN BIG
LIQUIDATION
HALF MILLION IS Topped OFF
purina Past Two Years Delinquency
In Montana Reduced Fifty
Per Cent

Records at the office Of the state
auditor at Helena show that Mon
tanans paid up nearly half a million
dollars OF overdue state taxes during
the past biennium. There was some
delinquency however In 1924 and
1925 levies, so that the net reduction
OF delinquent state taxes since June
30. 1924. is s147,656.12. leaving the to-
tai delinquent state taxes on June 80.
1926, at S8O3. 061.42. It is believed
that the situation provides an index
to the condition OF county tax collec-
lions as well.
The states income from county
taxes during the biennial period was
1929, O6575. Of which s2,14l $3.50
was received in the first and $2,o73s-
237 In the second year. It's levy for
1924-25 was S2,SO.516.44, and for 1926
&c, $1.994.89319. Thus, despite the
fact that 1925 taxes amounting to
$204. 220.40 were unpaid at the end
Of the fiscal year. there had been col
lected delinquencies OF past years suf-
flcient to more than equal the levy for
all purposes except for retirement Of
the state educational bonds.
The statement shows that almost
half the delinquent taxes due for the
year 1920 to 1923, both inclusive, were
paid during the last two years.
