collections for the fiscal year of
1934-35, which was $23,551 400,
statistics compiled by the taxpay-
ers' association show.
That Montana taxpayers have
a chance to save nearly $6,0OO,-
00G, or about One-third of the
original tax, by paying approx
imately $18,00O,00O delinquent
taxes before Dec. l is the asser-
ton of the Montana Taxpayers
association in its quarterly bull
letin, the Montana Taxpayer"
just off the press.
This great sum represents addi-
tional accumulated penalty and in
te1est on delinquent taxes and I'M
der the terms of an emergency act
passed by the last legislature, will
not be demanded by county treas
urers if the back taxes are paid
before the deadline date, the bull
letin explains. 1t is estimated by
county treasurers that the actual
saving to the taxpayers in interest
and penalty would be S5,945,OO
MAY COLLECT
THIRD OF DELINQUENTS
County officials declare that
probably about $7,400,000 of thu
delinquent total will never be paid
and that the only way thousands
of bad accounts being carried OF
the books can be settled is by the
counties taking possession of the
properties involved and selling
them for taxes.
According to county treasurers
estimates, at least $2,400,000 O.
these delinquent taxes will be paiC
this fall. Because of the txtr;
work involved at time when the
treasurers' offices are busy wifi
current tax collections, delinquent
taxpayers are requested to make
their settlements before Novmbel
1, if possible.

HERE'S SLANT ON GIGANTIC
SIZE OF FORT PECK DAM

FORT PECK, Mont.-Here's an
interesting slant on the Fort Peck
dam when one contemplates the
gigantic scale of the project:
It's just half as big as the Pan
anna canal and will be completed
IN about one-half the time. REQUIRED
to complete the great gateway be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific sa-
boards.
The Panama canal, after yeas
OF dlckering between interests and
the American and French govern
ments, was definitely started bv
this nation in 1902 and the first
ship passed through it in 1914.
The estimated total cost was $685.
100000.
The Fort Peck project, started
IN October, 1884, when one of the
first organized public works groups
began grubbing in the Missouri
river valley, will be completed in
1899 at an estimated total cost OF
S09,OOO,OOO, minus such expendi-
lures as may later be made for
power production facilities.

project, the largest earth-fill water
barrier known to man, is that near

during an unemployed demonstra-
ton April 4, COL workers in the
town were held for questioning.
Later the number was pared to 60,
and still later to the 10 workers
who were tried.
The 10 were charged with first
degree murder, although none of
them was shown to have killed any
one, and defense attorneys have
pointed out that the bullets found
in the victims of the shooting mat
ched the guns of deputy sheriffs
present at tn demonstration. When
Robert Mir or and David Lewiston
of the Init. Labor Defense went
to Gallup early in the summer 20
investigate the case, they were
kidnapped by vigilantes, beaten
