May Set Date
The four legislators who.have been
charged with corrupt lobbying Will
be arraigned In Hartford superior
court wednesday, october 5, and It Is
possible that at that time Judge
Kenneth Wynne might set date fol
the start OF Their trials. All the -four
legislators have pleaded not guilty
and indications are that they VIII DC
tried separately.
Judge Wynne continued the cases
until next wednesday, when the
four were arraigned In Hartford
earlier this month.
on Tuesday Of next week, the SUI
preme court will take under con-
slderation the appeals OF the water.
bury accused from the refusal OF
Judge Ernest A. Inglis to allow them
to inspect the grand jury minutes
Before taking up the merits OF the
appeals, however, the high court Will
hear Special Prosecutor Alcorn Q
motion that they be erased IRON the
docket.
Twenty-seven men will be aftecteo
by the high courts decision on TINS
measure.
AS the situation stands to date,
considerable speculation Is derived
from the question whether the trial
of the AZ men or the trials OF the
four legislators will start first.
Awaits Decision
Mr.. Alcorn has stated that ne VIII

for the ~ men until the supreme
court measures have been disposed

brought TO trial Immediately. They
will re.terate that demand IN Hart"

SPECIAL TAXES
YIELD S8,25O,OOO
EQUALIZATION BOARD REPORT
OF BIENNIAL COLLECTIONS
SHOWS STEADY INCREASE
Total Represents Revenue From IS
Sources Under Administration Of
Body; During Five-Year Period Gas
oIine Levy Brings In S14,0S0,42I.

The state board OF equalization
during the last two fiscal years
collected over SS,25O,000 from IL
cenSes and other taxes under It's
jurisdiction, the boards biennial
report shows.
Collections have grown during each
Of the succeeding years since 1884, even
though the administration Of beer IL
censes and taxes was taken over by
the state liquor department In 1887.
For the fiscal year ending last June
the state board collected 1892, 500
from the 10 sources Of income It
handles Collections for preceding fis-
cal years were: 1894 1923 ,835; 1895
s69549 07; 1886, s7,l4o,a26; 1887, 3d.,
255.O43.
Total collections for the five-year
period we're s3569712 with the s.
cent state tax on gasoline contributing
most Of the total, $4,000, 421. From
that source Of income, however, was
deducted -S3,9O0973 in refunds TO pur-
chasers Of gasoliE8~ who did not use the
fuel on highways Of the state.
Inheritance taxes have been major
factor in increasing collections made
by the board In the last two years."
the report said.
inheritance taxes increased from
S97,371 IN 1884 70 S703, $50 In 1888
Total income from that source during
the fiye-year period is S2,303,3 BIT.
The boards report points out that
during the last fiscal year the ques-
ton Of inheritance tax determination
In the estate Of the late w. A. Clark
Jr., son Of the Butte mining man and
one-time United States senator, was
disposed Of by the state supreme court
and as a result the decision Of that
tribunal brought an additional tax Of
s457, 900, plus interest Of $4,000 to the
state treasury.
In all, the Clark estate paid in
heritance taxes totaling 81 ,387, POI,
most Of which was paid prior to the
supreme court action. The final tax
determination, as set by the court, was
the same as originally computed by
the equalization board, the report said.
Other taxes collected by the equali-
"a ton board include sleeping car
company taxes, express company taxes,
freight line operations, corporation IL
cenge taxes, metal mines license taxes
coal dealers and miners taxes, gold
production license taxes, cement deal
ers' and manufacturers, natural gas,
electrical energy, telegraph, individual
income, cigaret license, chain store Ii
cense, contractors license, telephone
license and moving picture license
taxes.

Montana Governed
From IA Capitals;
Biloxi, Miss, First

An interesting bit OF IittHe-k known
history about Montana's capitals
has been brought 70 light
How many capitals has Montana
had?" Is the question. Some persons
say one, some two and some three.
Three Is right for the number In
Montana alone, bat history points
out where the Treasure state had
IL other capitals before the $1,000
600 DAILY Clark battle that finally
put the seat Of state government in
Helena.
Montana became part Of the
Louisiana territory I'm 1893. The
first capital was Biloxi, Miss, but
in 1923 the capital Of the territory
became New Orleans. Subsequent
seats of government for the terri
tory were Vincennes, st. Louis,
ShampOeg, Oregon City and Salem,
Ore, the latter in 1853. Bellvue,
Nebraska territory, was MOntana's
capital In 1854, Omaha I'm 1855, and
YanktOn, Dakota territory, I'm 1861.
Part Of Montana territory was I'm
Washington territory I'm I843 with
the capital In Olympia. In 1863
Idaho territory took Il over with
its capital at Lewiston. When Mon
tana territory was formed in 1864
Bannack became the capital Vfr-
ginia City claimed that honor next
year and In 1875 the capital moved
to Helena
