CLUB MEMBERS
DISAGREE WITH
BUS SCHEDULES
&A ---------s-----
Heated Civic Club Parley
Results In New
Proposal

The general idea of the proposed
twice a day bus passenger service
between Billings and Red Lodge
was satisfactory Wednesday night
to Red Lodge Commercial club
. members, but majority decidedly
frowned on the matter Of schedule,
tentatively approved Tuesday be-
tween the club governing board
and Northern Pacific officials.
]. The final draft of the schedule
proposed at the meeting was as
follows: leave Billings at 7:15 a..
.sg.l., reach Red Lodge at 9:15 a. m.;
leave Red Lodge at 1880 a. M,
arrive Billings at 1890 p. m.;
leave Billings at 2:55 p. M, arrive
Red Lodge at 4:45 p. M; leave
Red Lodge at 6 p. M, arriving at
Billings on the final run at 8 p. m.
After a prolonged and heated
discussion during which some of
the club members contended the
hour and Is minutes stop in Red
Lodge was insufficient to allow
those in nearby towns to satisfac-
torily trade here, Gus B. Foltz,
local merchant, made motion that
a new schedule be offered for rail-
road official approval, before an
order be drawn on the public serv-
ice commission for the new service.
Passing on a fairly close vote, his
proposed schedule is as follows:
New Proposal
Leave Billings at z a. M, ar
rive Red Lodge at 9 a. M; leave
Red Lodge at 11:SO a. M, arrive
Billings at 1880 p. M; leave Bill
lings at 2:30 p. M, arrive Red
Lodge at 4:30 p. M; leave Red
Lodge at 6 p. M, and arrive Bill
ings at s p. m. Foltz's motion also
included asking officials of the
proposed I, ,YelloW Wstone- Red Lodge
bus leave Red Lodge at 10 a. m.
instead of S9:45 a. m. as is the
original schedule suggested.
Those speaking for Foltz's mo-
tion included D. w. Columbus, Bill
Robson, Ralph Hazlett and w. wy
Flashman.
Opponents of the motion feared |
this new request would delay ac-
ton during the heavy tourist traf-
fic and would also retard starting |
of the Yellowstone-Red Lodge
schedule. Results of the conference
on the new proposal will be sub
jected to a general meeting of the
club, is was decided. !
Skinner Talks
John G.. Skinner, Red Lodge at
torney, traced the history of rail-
road and bus service from Billings
to Red Lodge. The present service,
in existence approximately four

Statutes Aim Is Foreign
to Revenue Procurement.

to Revenue Procurement.
The statute not only avows an aim
foreign to the procurement of revenue
for the support of Government, but
by its operation shows the exaction
laid upon professors to be the neces-
Sary means for the intended control
of agricultural production.
In these aspects the tax, so-called
closely resembles that laid by the act
of August 3, 1882, entitled "an act to
regulate immigration" which came
before this court in the head money
cases, 112 U. S. $50. The statute d.
rected that there should be levied, COL
lected and paid duty of so cents for
each alien passenger who should come
by vessel from a foreign port to one
in the United States. Payment was
to be made to the collector of the port
by the master, owner, consignee OF
agent Of the ship; the money was to
be paid into the Treasury, was to be
called the immigrant funds, and to
be used by the Secretary of the Treas
ury to defray the expense Of regulat-
ing immigration, for the care of i'm
migrants and relieving those in dis
tresS, and for the expenses of effectuat-
ing the act. --,. ~
Various objections to the act were
presented. In answering them the
court said:
But, the true answer to all these
| objections is that the power exercised
in this instance is not the taxing
power. The burden imposed on the
ship owner by this statute Is the
mere incident of the regulation of
commerce-of that branch of foreign
commerce which Is involved in immi-
grafton" -"
