USAGE
OF LAW IN
PROMISED BY ROWAN

C. C. Rowan, attorney of Red
Lodge, this week filed his petition
of candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for the office of asso-
ciate justice of the state supreme
court.
In the petition addressed to w.
e. Harmon, secretary of state, Mr..
Rowan stated:
"If | am nominated and elected,
| will -. so interpret our laws
that the people of Montana will
obtain justice without technicalities
Progressive laws are of no value
unless interpreted in a progressive
spirit. / belive in their interpre-
tation according to modern con-
ditions-not in the light of condi-
tions as they existed 100 years ago.
NI believe that courts and judges
should be non-political, and will
use every effort to maintain them
solely as institutions of justice for
the people. | desire that these
words be printed after my name
on the nominating ballot: Justice
without Technicalities'."
Mr.. Rowan has practiced in Red
Lodge and eastern Montana since
1916, having served as Carbon
county attorney and as Red Lodge
city attorney. His candidacy for

Burning Spring" Owned
by George Washington

Curiosity may have killed a cat,
but 1t also made George Washing
ton n of the first investors In nat
ural gas property.
In 1775 he visited a tract near
Charleston, w. Va, where n
strange burning spring"-fames
Of ESCAPING gas, probably ignlted
by a water-seeker who came at
night with a lantern-attracted his
attention. Although the father OF
our country could not have known
1t, the property he bought was in
the heart OF a great natural gas
field. He presented his property
to the nation as a national park.
The first well in this field, how
ever, was not discovered until the
early 1905 when two brothers, Da-
vid and Joseph Ruffner, drilled a
58-foot shaft for salt In the great
Kanawha valley of east Virginia,
and opened up a gas well.

J. BOND SMITH
FLAYS MAPES
TAX BILL
Measure, Passed Last Decem-
ber by House, Held Unfair
to MaryIanders

The Mapes bill was branded
as oppressive and discrimina-
tory to Maryland and residents
working in the District by j.
Bond Smith, of Takoma Park,
and a delegation from the
Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton, in a prepared state
ment read to the Senate Dis
trict Committee at the open
ing hearings yesterday.
The Mapes bill substitutes an
income tax for the present tangi-
bic personal property tax for the
District which Maryland residents
do not pay, adding one more form
of taxation in their case.
Passed Last Winter
The measure passed the House
last December 16.
Smith pointed out that the
bills unfairness to non-residents
of the District was stressed in the
report of the Bureau of Eff
cheney. In presenting the case of
Maryland natives, Smith de-
clared:
MANY of them affected by
this bill are employees of the
Federal Government, who,
under the pending revenue act,
will pay greatly increased in
come taxes, and who at the
same time will have their in
comes greatly reduced.
Financial Loss
"Under this proposed meas ..
ure, Maryland residents would
be dealt a third blow that un-
dOubtedly will involve the loss
of their homes and a disaS-
trous financial loss"

Use made by the county COM

This action of the Commission

demanded that the place on the
