ent five cent gas tax and does not
cause duplication of taxes Or any
increase"
SAME MEN THOT H.B.1 LEGAL
The state highway commission al
so was of the opinion that house
bill No. 1, the debenture bill in its
original form, passed by the as
sembly and signed by Gov. Erick
son, authorizing the issuance of
six million dollars of debentures
was constitutional. Gov. Erickson
thought so too, but the supreme
court of the state of Montana thot
otherwise, and held the act uncon-
stitutional because it created an
Indebtedness of over 100000 with
out having been submitted to the
vote of the people. The three
eminent attorneys" who prepared
house bill No. 1, and thot it OK.
and who then prepared Referen-
dunn House Bill No. $50, are no
other than Howard Toole of Mis-.
sula, E. G. TOomey of Helena and
Attorney Davidson of the attorney
generals office. These men now
think that their bill is alright, and
does not provide for a double gas
tax. If it does not So provide, why
did they not write it that way, in
stead of a way that does positively
provide for such a double tax?
OPINIONS VS.. FACTS
What these three attorneys may
thing about their bill is of NO par
ticular consequently what the
bill provides is. The supreme
court will determine what the law
means and will compel its enforce
ment and it will be governed
by what the bill plainly provides.
The opinion of the state board of
equalization is of no more force
and effect than an opinion of the
Sheridan County board of county
commissioners. That board has
not the power to say what tax will
or will not be collected. 1t will
collect the tax as the law provides.
That board is a creature of the
tax. as is the gas tax and has no
Legislative or discretionary power
in the matter. The supreme court
will tell that board what the law
says it must do, and compel it to
do it, what all the boards in the
state, the Hon. o. S. Warden. the
Great Falls Tribune, and the Plen-
tywcod Herald to the contrary not
withstanding.
STATEMENT RIDICULOUS
The statement put out by the
state highway commission is prob
ably one of the most ridiculous
and mirth provoking statements
ever put out by any board of its
dignity at any time or place, for
the conscious purpose of deceiving
the people and inducing them to
approve of something that they do
not want.
THOT TAX MISTAKE
1t was the opinion of The Pro-
ducers News in the beginning that
the drawers of the bill and the
legislature, in the rush and press
of the last days of the session,
when House Bill No. l was
invalidated by the supreme court,
had Numbered and that the double
tax was not intentional; that there
was no Interior motive involved,
but that notion has been dissapat-
ed by later news.

SECOND TAX PLAIN

Now this is the section of Ref
erendum measure, H. B. $50, which
levies another tax on gasoline. If
it does not, then the English lang
uage cannot be relied upon. The
section starts with a statement of
the purpose of the levied tax, viz:
to provide funds for the payment
of the $6,000,00O in debentures
which the bill authorizes the state
to issue. This section 9 includes
sections 1882 and 1888 of Initiative
Measure No. 81, effective January
LIST, 1927, as amended by Chapter
90 of the laws of 1929, amended
only as to time OF duration, COM
bined into one section. The section
does not include section 1892 of
Initiative Measure 81. as amended
in 1929, which section provides
the purpose for which the present
gasoline tax shall be spent, name
ly: in highway construction.
Section 8 of II. B. 450 does not
amend and re-enact the existing
gas tax law, but sets up an en-
tirely new and separate act and
for a different and separate pur-
pose, only mentioning the previous
act in defining who shall nav this
license and providing rules for col
lection.
MANY MEASURES IN ONE
Referendum House Bill $50. is
composed of % sections: Sections
l to 8 inclusive authorize the de-
benture warrants, defines the form
of warrant, the amount and how
issued, the method of sale and re-
demption of same, the interest
rate and the use to be made of the
money derived from the sale of the
debenture warrants. Section 9
levles the gas tax to repay the de-
benture warrants and interest on
same. Section 10 provides, humor-
ously, that if the bill fails it will
not effect or repeal any laws now
on the books. Sections IL to %
provide for the special election, the
financing of same, and how the
measure shall appear on the bal
lot. Section % is the naming
clause. Section "a the saving
clause and Section 25 provides the
time when the act shall go into
effect.
NO REPEATING CLAUSE
There is no repeating act in the
bill, providing: All acts or parts of
acts in conflict herewith are here
by repealed" nor does the act in
Section 9 or any other place say
or provide that Referendum House
Bill No. $50 supercedes or take the
place of Initiative No. 81 as after
wards amended, nor does it pro-
vide, when two lines could accom-
plish it, that the measure does not
contemplate the levying of another
gas tax of five cents per gallon.
but that part of the present tax
should be set aside for the pay
ment of the debentures, nor was

and would have been. if the draft
ers Of this measure meant to levy
only one tax.
DOESN'T DENY TWO TAXES
A perusal of the telegram of the
state highway commission disclos-
es that the board does not say that
the measure does not provide for
another tax, but states that in its
opinion that it does not. It then
states that it is the unqualified
opinion of the attorneys who drew
up the measure, "that it will not
