of conditions resulting from the present
method Of disposing Of sewage from the
District Of Columbia in the Potomac
River with a view TO determining
the extent to which such disposal con-
stitutes a menace TO the public health
and an annoyance TO the residents along
the river, and destroys the fish and
oysters in the river or makes them
amt for human consumption, and
whether there is a more suitable method
OF disposing OF the sewage, and, II so,

RAILWAY PAYS MORE
TAXES THAN FARMERS
STATE o SHOW

Helena, June 6-(AP)-One rail-
road pays taxes upon an assessed
valuation SO per cent greater than
the combined assessment against
all the irrigated farming land in
the state, records of the state board
of equalization show.
The assessed value of all irri-
gated land in Montana in 1891 was
$63, 541 SAL. For 1880, the Great
Northern assessmet is placed at
$87,741, 344.
"In 1923 Montana irrigated lands
were valued higher than the prop
critics of the Great Northern"
James III. Stewart, chairman of
the state board says. 'Tn that
year irrigated land was assessed
at $83,447, 433 and the Great Nor
thern at $82,409,1 93.
~Well-meaning but uniformed
citizens sometimes contend that the
state board has favored the public
utilities at the expense of the farm
ers, and / cite the facts relating
to the Great Northern so that the
people may draw their own con-
illusions.
"By 1881 the assessment of irri-
gated land in Montana was $685.
SAL ,541, a reduction of more than
$40, 1000, 900 or about % per cent
compared with 1923. The Great
Northern assessment in the same
years increased and in 1880 was
$S7, TAI ,344, an increase of $5,-
100000.
"Under the classification law the
taxable value Of railroad property
is 40 per cent Of assessed valua-
tions while the same law appor-
tions the taxable value Of irrigated
lands at 30 per cent of the asses
