Livingston, Aug. IL. = At its

Commission failed to take any ac-
ton on a petition requesting some
action that will permit destitute
families water from the municipal
ly owned plant.
Some fifteen or twenty families
are now without water and addlt-

week. Action to this end is IN con-
formity with a recent order OF the
Water Commission which provides
that water users who do not pay
up back assessments, as well as
current bill, be denied all service,
A supplement order provides that
PRISONS who are able to pay fol-
water may not furnish it to neigh

effective, upward of two hundred

Small Income Tax
Rates are Boosted

Washington, Aug. 10. A pro
gressive-conservative coalition
took command of the senate finan-
ce committee today and voted to
boost income taxes on even the
smallest taxpayers, beginning at
a new low level of $500 a year.
In swift and startling ballots
which ripped out major features of
President Roosevelt's wealth tax"
plan and raised some doubts of the
whole bills future. the senators
cut the income tax exemption for
a single person from $1,000 to $500
and for a married person from 81
500 to $4,000.
This change was calculated to
bring new income groups into the
federal tax fold though experts
were unable to estimate at once
how many.
Also they substituted higher es-
tate taxes for Mr.Roosevelt's re-
ouested inheritance taxes anC
made other changes estimated to
increase the bills revenue raising
power from the houses $3.50, OOO,'
600 to more than $40O, 100000.

Plentywood Aug. 10, = Accord;

ducers News, petitions for refer
endum vote on the so-called Gin
Marriage Law, are now in circula-
ton in all parts of Montana.
This law, now Sec. STA Revis-
ed Codes, was enacted by the last
legislature as a substitute for
House Bill No. Sc. 1t provides that
no person may secure a license to
wed without undergoing a physi-
cal examination before a regularly
licensed physician of the state.
Minimum health standards are
set. The doctor must furnish an
affidavit that the applicant is
not afflicted with certain social
or other hereditary diseases, be-
fore marriage license can be issu-
ed. A certain period Of several
days time must elapse after the
license is issued before the mar
riage ceremony is performed.
Doctors over the state have al
most unanimously refused to fur
nish the necessary affadavits on
the grounds that the time allowed
for physical examination is too
short, and because they cannot al
ways tell. even by examination

CONSUMERS REBEL
AGAINST SALES TAX
Scores Create Turmoil In
Three States. Repeal
Being Sought

At last harrassed consumers and
small business men have turned
on the sales tax atrocity.
The New Jersey sales tax went
into effect this week and a state
wide organization has already
been formed to secure it's repeal.
In addition its legality has been
carried to the courts.
in Arkansas the people are de-
handing the right to initiate re-
peal law, but the attorney general
rules that it cannot be done until
November of next year. In the
meantime. in some sections, the
tax is now being collected.
To secure relief funds, Illinois
levied a 8 per cent sales tax, be-
ginning July l. Popular discomfort
is reported widespread. and the le-
gality of sales tax "tokes" has
been challenged as violative of the
Federal law governing the coinage
of money.

Fort Peck Dam Fill

Silent, necessarily, the four 28-
inch electric dredges at Fort Peck
pour their streams of hydraulic fill
into the dam which is to harness
the mighty Missouri river. These
giant earth-movers, push the col
umns of fluid through the pipe
lines at velocity of % feet each
second. Every hour of the day sees
approximately 1920 cubic yards adj
ded to the fill in the dam, at a rate
of 100,80O yards every "a hours.
More than 100000 cubic yards
of solid fill have already been de-
posted into the embankment which
will become the largest earth-fill
dam in the world. Accurate cross
sections of the material actually in
place indicate this quantity.

The $4,000 cubic yards which
were added on the west bank dur

States and Government
Row Over Who Shall

Washington. Aug. 6. - The ma
TONS unemployables - 100000
needy men, women and children
who cannot earn a living-are
pawns in tn contest between the
government and states over who
shall pay their keep.
There is no hope for them in the
new deals $4,000, 100000 work-re-

municipalities have. for the most
part, refused to feed and clothe
them.
The showdown will come late
this fall. after almost a year Of
pickering. They will continue
meanwhile to live on federal doles.
Relief Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins demanded last winter that
political subdivisions care for their
needy who could not qualify fol-
the employment drive because OF
mental or physical incapability.
Local governments protested
They asserted their treasures were
empty and recalled President Ro-
osevelt's promise that mo one
shall starve."
Hopkins holds the whip hand
Backed by President Roosevelt, he
can supply only enough of the 81
900, 100000 fund to finance the
number of jobs he allots each state
By cutting off direct relief, politi.
cal subdivisions must care fo1
their lame and blind or allow then
to go hungry.
Hopkins said he will not hesitatt
to take that drastic move. He ex
planned states and their subdivis
ions cared for their needy unable
to work before the depression
through local relief funds, com
munity chests and the like.
The problem will not come nea
solution until after Nov. 1 whe,
the government plans to end tn
dole. Indications are however. tina
grants must be made at least un
til Jan. 1 because of delay in trans
ferring employable needy from re
lief rolls to federal payrolls.
