FOUR MEASURES
TOBE VOTED ON
IN NOVEMBER
Two Initiative, One. Referendum and
One Proposed Constitutional
Amendment

In addition to electing congressman,
supreme court justices, railroad COM
missioner and various county officers,
the voters of Montana will express
their views on four measures at the
fall election. Two are initiatives, one
a referendum and one proposed con-
stitutional amendment.
"The 1925 legislature proposed the
amendment of the constitution to pro-
vide a county unit system of hail in
surance and taxation therefore. I'm
der the measure, the tax would apply
to agriculture land only. The legis-
lature would divide the state into dis
tricts between which the rates may
vary in accordance with the risks in
Cured. The legislature, if the amend
ment is approved would determine
whether it or the state board of equali-
cation shall fix the rates.
No county would come under the
plan until majority of its electors
had voted in favor of submitting its
lands and crops to the tax but the
present method is retained to the ex-
tent that land owner in a county
which has not accepted the plan as
unit, may come in as an individual by
making application in writing.
There also was passed on TO the
people for their decision a measure
which would authorize state ta4 of
five mills for use of the public schools.
Its passage, by the provisions of an
other measure approved by the legis-
lature but which did not require sub
mission to the voters, automatically
limits the district levy to maximum
of IS mills in counties where all third
class districts are administered as a
rural district, or 20 mills in other dis
tricts.
The first of the initiative measures
to be qualified for the ballot amply
provides for the repeal of all states
prohibition laws with the exception Of
those relating to minors.
The second provides for a gasoline
tax of three cents gallon, the pro-
ceeds to be used by the state highway
commission to match federal aid in the
construction and maintenance of the
federal aid highway system in Mon
tana The entire amount would be re-.
served for use on a designated high
way system which connects all county
seats. The present 2-cent tax is di-
vided three ways. Fifty-fve per cent
goes equally to the counties for use on
roads. Thirty per cent goes to the
state general fund and Is per cent to
the state highway fund.
A final paragraph in the proposed
measure allocates roughly the expen-
ditures of the money by declaring that
''it shall be the duty of the state high
way commission, in expanding such
money to carry forward construction
from year to year, so far as it may be
possible with a reasonable develop
ment of the whole federal highway
system (within the state, in proportion
to the amount of mileage still to be
constructed in the various sections OF
the system" Distillate would be re-
lieved from taxation under the act.

cAmPAlGNlNG, AL ALONG THE, LINE, SPEAKING AT THE FAIR.
 BANKS, ANCHORAGE FAIRS

The political campaign of Thomas A. Marquam, independent candidate for delegate to congress, has taken on the proportions of a day and night proposition, according to travellers reaching Seward over the week end from the north. MT. Marquam is work ing hard in the interest of his cause from early each day. until long after most people have sought rest,
 Having just completed some 5000 miles of travel, including a thorough covering of the westward territory, the independent candidate took the government railroad route north into Fairbanks, making use of gasoline speeder from Curry on so that he might put in as much time as neces- sary along the way
 At Fairbanks Marquam was to speak at the fair, and thereafter re- turn to Anchorage in time to deliver an address at the Southwestern Alas ka fair and celebration. Following this tentative plans were to head south ward into the coast towns, where the campaign will wind up.
 Marquam sentiment seems to be growing rapidly in all sections and encouragement is found everywhere along the line. With .nearly two months ahead for work and an az gressive campaign already we'll on it's way, political observers are predicting certain success for the independent candidate.

Because Of the decisions commits

from western Pennsylvania and
southern Ohio mines, now passes
through these same districts from

is southern Ohio and western Penn
sylvania mines steadily are losing
ground.

The operators from both States
have laid their troubles before their
respective congressional delegations
in an effort to bring pressure on the
commission. In the meantime a petit
