Do We Want a Sales Tax?

Members of the Legislature are un-
doubtedly concerned over the situation in
regard to the referendum measures to be vo-
ted on this fall for the state institutions.
They wrestled with the problem two
years ago at the last session of the Legislature
and got nowhere. Now they see the same
old problem facing them in a more critical
form.
The state voted a special levy ten years
ago for the state educational institutions. 1t
voted bonds to supply needed buildings.
The levy expires this year, the bond issues
have been used up and yet no provision has
been made for revenue to replace the spec
ial levy and the need of buildings at over
crowded institutions has not been fully met.
If the voters defeat the two measures
the Legislature will have to act this coming
session. The mill and a half levy did not
cover fully the cost Of the maintenance of
the state institutions. The general fund
was drawn up partly for those expenses. AS
a result ever with the mill and a half levy
the state has been going in the red each

they want to rule at any cost.
To further their plans they have select
ed men who will submit to their orders and
commands. Mig Collins thinks he will
defeat the ends of justice and have the var
ious cases against him dismissed, and by
putting simpletons in the office OF the Sher-
if and county attorney he can once again
get into the saddle as the v~ice-overlord of
this county.
The people of Sheridan county will
not submit to this. They know that Taylor
gangdom must pass out and with their votes
they will do this. By voting the Republican
ticket they know that outlawry cannot
flourish, but must die. The fathers and
mothers of Sheridan county who want to
educate their boys and girls in our schools
will remain here instead of having to move
away for fear of the contamination that will
result if the Farmer-Laborites again gain
control here.
Attempts to discredit Sheriff Madsen
by the Producers News meets with general
condemnation throughout the county. Ev-
eryone who knows him, can vouch for his
sterling character, and that he has made good
as sheriff and that today crime is negligible
in this county, as compared with conditions
during the previous six years before sher-
iff Madsen took office.

$7O,OOO.O0 Wasted

Anticipating uncalled for and mislead-
ing statements relative to the stewardship
of Grant Blackwell, our county attorney, in
expensive county attorney in Montana, and
which statement will be backed by figures
of the Montana Taxpayers Association, we
want to call attention to the fact that actual
cost of the County Attorney Office, accord
ing to figures obtained from the records in
the Clerk and Recorders Office amounted to
only $274o.69 up to June 80, 1880. These
statements will claim that it cost over
100000 but the extra cost is for bills per-
mitted and allowed while A. c. Erickson
was acting as a figurehead county attorney
and rubber stamp artist for Charles E. Tay-
lor and his gangsters. Before Erickson fin
ally let loose of the public pie card to which
he had become greatly attached during the
eight years he held that Office through ma
chinations of the Producers News, one of his
last expense items was to get the County
commissioners to appoint Paul Babcock as
special prosecutor of the bonding company
action to recover on the hold up Of the Coun-
ty treasurer. Taylor and the Pm outfit had
a fit over this and through some means or
other induced the commissioner with the
approval of Erickson to appoint Louis P.
Donovan Of Shelby, to also act in this prose
cution. These bills were contracted by the
County attorneys Office previous to Grant
Bakewelrs election and should not be charg-
ed to him. The total cost for special attor-
ney's for this work amounted to $780,
So. Special attorney services c~hargeable to
Bakewelrs term amounts to NOTHING.
During the year from and including
1922 to the time Erickson was put out of
Office, special attorney fees for that Office
were allowed and paid as follows

non.

sonal net incomes and with a flat

ing Of f1oaters and cut down cor
ruption Of the polls was met in q

law requiring all voters to show a
poll tax receipt.
The bureau went on record as
being opposed to private ownership
or control of the government power
plant at Muscle Shoals and de-
clared in favor of the Norris bill
as a fair solution of the question.

posed and congress is urged to

to that solemn promise"

pose of purchasing seeds, feeds and
supplies was advocated.

European Doctors Assert
Brunettes More Immune
to Head Colds.
BY RALPH HEINZEN


PARIS, Nov. 26.-Gentlemen may
prefer blondes, but brunettes are
more immune to colds in the head.
That is the startling decision Of a
group Of European doctors who
have been counting the sneezes of
blondes and brunettes in all the
climates of Europe. The brllnettes
won by about four to one.
The scientists have not been so
rash as to say why, but in a paper
submitted to the academy of
medicine, they summarize their
studies and their decision.
Blondes, they say, have less than
half the resistance to head colds
than brunettes have.
The same scientists decided the
quantity Of clothing worn has alb
solutely nothing to do with colos.
Brunettes generally wear as little
