The 1O-Cent Gas Tax

Dear Editor:
The people will soon vote on the
1O-cent gasoline tax, and we wish to
suggest the following solution OF our
gasoline tax matters:
Here is the 1Oc gasoline tax law:
House Bill 90. passed by the last
Legislature, provides that every dis
tributor and dealer shall pay a &c
gasoline tax for 10 years, or until
1871. There cannot be any question
that THAT is one sc tax.
House Bill $50. or referendum No.
35. in Section 8, provides that dis
tributors and dealers shall pay sc
gasoline tax for the year beginning
April 1, 1881, and ending March 81,
1882. and each year thereafter, until
March 81. 1871, . and for each
year after March 81. 1871, equal TO
&c for each gallon"
S, ction 4. of House Bill $50. pro-
vides: the excise or license tax on
gasoline or motor fuels or dealers
or distributors therein, AS PROVID-
ED IN THIS ACT. or IN ANY OF
THE OTHER LAWS (H.B.9O) of the
State of Montana, SHALL NOT BE
REDUCED so. long as any of said
debentures remain outstanding and
unpaid. and that the State of Men
tana will cause such TAXES (noi
( singular but plural) to be promptly
+ collected"
/ Does not the above show clearly
that if Referendum 35 is approved
j that Montana will have a 10c gaso
+ line tax, and that it cannot be re
duced for 10 long years?

will do the job except the sheep
men and every sheep man In the
state should cooperate with the
sheepmen of the IL western wool
growing states in putting on this
Eat More Lamb" program. The
program is interesting, instructive
and valuable.
When we put the facts together
that SAC of the area of the Unit
ed States is not familiar with the
quality of lamb meat and then a.
gain when we know that only 1920
of the meat consumed in the Unit
ed States is lamb meat, we can
see the great possibilities that are
in the, Eat More Lamb" project.
With feeble effort in 1880, con-
sumption was increased 209o. Just
think wsat can be accomplished in
1881 with organized effort from
the sheep men of the II western
states.
The Eat More Lamb" program
is for your benefit and all sheep
men should make a special effort
to attend the meeting.

SHEEPMEN DISPLAY
INTEREST IN EAT
LAMB" PROGRAM

The sheep men of Sheridan coun-
ty are certainly interested IN
knowing the way the Eat More
Lamb" program is being received
by the counties where the demon
stratiOn of the advertising method
has been put on.
Word comes from the state
wool growers association office at
Helena that at every point the
program has been received with
much enthusiasm and the sheep
men and bankers are greatly de-
lighted with the national program
of lamb advertising that is to be
put on in the United States this
year and TO be followed up as
continuous program for many
years. Since the II western states
have decided that the lamb con-
sumption prices are suffering from
under consumption rather than ov-
er production, this national pro-
gram of increasing consumption IS
being planned and will be put into
effect by the cooperation Of the
sheep men Of the II western states,
the lamb feeders association and
the national livestock and meat
board.
When it is considered that $40
of the area of the United States
is not familiar with the fact that
lamb is nutritious, delicious and
healthful, it makes the project
seem a very fruitful one.
The meeting for Sheridan coun-
ty is scheduled for May at Plen-
tywood at 1870 p. m at the court
house for this national program TO
be thoroughly explained and dem
onstration to the wool growers by
Erie Racey of SanAngelo. Texas

for the sheep industry of the
United States.

he can be away from the ranch or

very important 10 know about the
national lamb advertising program
and how it is going to increase TIT
value of feeder lambs. The prOjec
is of such a nature that no ont
can explain it like it will be givel
at the meeting.
If better prices are to be receiv
ed for feeder lambs. consumption
of lamb meat must be increased

is increased there is no one VIII,

the unemployed, TO the Federated
Press.
"Our farmers do not produce
too much" he said. ''They do not
produce enough to supply all
that the people of this country
need, in food and textile mater
ials. But they suffer from under
consumption of the things they
raise.
eff everybody had all they
wanted to eat and wear-as they
would if they were employed at
fair wages-there would be no
problem of under consumption of
wheat and pork and cotton.
"But all over this country, and
all over the world. millions of
people are hungry and in need
of clothing and shelter, because
they cannot get work with which
to earn money with which to buy
what the farmers raise.
"And because tie industrial
workers cannot buy food and
textiles the farmers have no in
come with which to buy the
things made in factories. People
who cannot earn-whether IN
the towns or on the farms-can-
not buy and consume.
VIRTUALLY half of the Ameri-
can people today are victims of
this situation, either as farmers
who can find no buyers. or as
workers and people directly OF
i indirectly dependent upon their
| getting well-paid employment, al
making and transporting things
which the farmers and others
would like to consume"

using them as a basis. estimates
that, during the next 10 years. a Sc
gasoline tax will amount to the
stupendous sum of $12O.67S, 81, and

part to the cities. Some Of US be-

money collected by the State Board

I the ratio that the couny road mile

mileage, and 40 per cent on the ra-
ito of the number of motor vehicles
in the county bears to the total num-
Der of motor vehicles in the state.
Cities should be paid out Of the gas

City Mileage Cost Receive
Great Falls 125 $4,000 $4,000
Lewistown % 5000 1920
Livingston 26 S.O25 10000
Miles City so 1892 10000
And so on, every city should re-
ceive it's share, or refund. or draw
back, for they pay a very large part
! of this gasoline tax. Would not the
property taxpayers in every city in
) Montana welcome this much tax re-
: lief from their present burdensome

Let us turn out and vote against
