It's very easy for some folks To get themselves in print, A taxi driver fared to California And that landed him right in it. The seventh in line to the English throne Gets tagged with about five names; A man with the name of the Avon bard Makes good in football games. Then there's the case of baking soda Most innocuous of productions, Until mixed up with deadly stuff Thereupon caused some ructions Man and lady at party seen, Unravel this one if you're able, The one has husband, the other wife And the gent is, of course Clark Gable. It's very easy for some folks, To get talked about if they choose; Mickey Mouse marries Myrna Loy, And we ask you, isn't that news?

farmers to call upon the storekeen1
ers for help in making ont tha
applications.
Investigation Promised
Such advise is, of course. r;d;-
culous. When papers made out bv
the feed loan office are returned
twice, how many times will thew
be returned if made out bv the
farmer or the storekeeper? What
seems necessary is to cut out a
good deal of the red tape connect
ed with the feed loan administra-
ton.
. After a number of other cases
had been cited by the delegation
Griffin promised seriously to come
to Sheridan county to investigate
and straighten matters out.

and this seems most peculiar
if a hundred or more single per-
sons move together then each one
receives S25.25 relief per month.
Now, they are not getting this
money themselves, but the local
relief administration is paying it
for them to the fellow who has
the pull. We were told that more
than one hundred people on relief
are rooming and boarding at the
Milwaukee House, and that the
woman in charge is getting $18 for
board and So for room each month
for each of her "guests." These
people are further allowed So for
clothing and $1.25 for incidentals,
which makes a total of $25.25 per
month per person. That the Mil
waukee House is making nice pro-
fits out of this arrangement" can
easily be seen.
If you are on relief, it makes
all the difference in the world
whether YOU are on the inside OF
on the outside of the racket.

STATE SENATE TO
INCREASE TAX FOR
LOWER INCOMES
Bill Proposes Cut In Rate
for Higher Brackets

HELENA.-The Montana state
senate at present is favorably con-
sldering a measure which would
change the state income tax favor
ably for the higher brackets and
which would put an added burden
upon the lower incomes.
The present income tax rate is
l per cent on the first $4,000 net
income, 2 per cent on the second
$4,000, 8 per cent on the third
$4,000, and 6 per cent on all in
comes above $4,000.
The bill now under consideration
proposes to set the tax rate at 1
per cent for the first $1,000, 2 per
cent or the second $1,000, 8 per
cent on the next $4,000, and 4 Der
cent on the next $4,000. The rate
for all incomes above $4,000 is be-
ing cut to per cent.
The measure also provides for a
cut in the rate of exemption OF
married as we'll as of single peo-
pie. Exemption for married men
will be cut from $4,000 to $780,
for single persons from $1,000 tc
$3.50. The deductions for each de-
pendent are being reduced $50 I'm.
der the bill.
This bill is being given very
little publicity by the newspapers
and it seems that senators also are
not interested in mentioning it to
the home folks. 1t is to be sneak
ed through with as little noise as
possible. And newspapers that dc
print couple of paragraphs about
this tax bill state, like the Great
Falls Tribune, "The bill the senate
is considering also would increase
the rate of taxation" But there
is no word that it would decrease
the rate for the higher brackets.

Federal Aid to Schools
Stopped at End of Term

WASHINGTON Federal re-
lief to the hard-pressed, needy
schools will be stopped at the
end of the current term of school,
it was announced by Federal
Relief Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins here last week. Testi-
mOny to the same effect was also
given by DIR. w. J. Studebaker,
federal commissioner of educa-
ton, before house sub-cOmmit-
tee for appropriations.
Letters have been sent out by
Hopkins advising governors of a
number of states of the new fed
eral policy. After the present
school term, states will have to
look out for themselves, accord
ing to Hopkins, and the federal
government does not care much
if "a few more thousand schools
are not re-Opemed.

Copper Company Paper
Calls the Tax Bill
'Racketeering"

At this time there is a bill be-
fore the Montana legislature called

Helena Independent. The inten-
ton of this bill is to place an ad-
ditional $5,O00,OOO tax on the An
acOnda Copper Mining company
and the Montana Power company
That, of course, is sufficient rea-
son for the Helena paper to call
the bill a "racketeering BILL"

or three sources:
"First, consumers of electricit.

"Second, out of the wages OF

"Thrd: Taken from the legiti
mate earnings of stockholders"
Emphasis was, of course, put OF
1.-TWO Sources" and Kelly added tn
third source rather as an after
thought in order not to make i
sound too raw. In other words
this shrewd attorney told the com
mittee to hop to it and do as the,
pleased; no matter which way i
went his companies were going t,
pass the buck to the consumers AM
in particular to the miners, an,
