PROSPECTIVE
LEGISLATION
WINE EXCISE TAX CUT

The excise tax has been reduced to
eight percent, the effect OF which VIII
mean the reduction of the retail price
OF wines, as sold by the State Liquor
Control board. Under the old law the
excise tax was so cents per gallon on
ali spirits, which initiated against the
ceiling price of wines, the price of which
Is much smaller than WHISTLES and
brandies. The liquor administration
favored this cut, which Is certain to
increase sales of wines manufactured
In the United States. Governor Ayers
Is said to be in favor of this new law,
which becomes operative with the chief
executives signature.
QUICK DIVORCE LAW
The new divorce law, requiring only
30 days in which to acquire a legal
residence, IS several laps ahead of the
Nevada law, where thousands of d.
vorces of nonresidentS are granted an
nually. The new Law is expected to
bring the national divorce business to
Montana with a rush, and means that
out-of-state aspirantS for single bless
edness will come to Montana and spend
so days in the national parks and dude
ranches while acquiring legal residence.
The bill has passed both houses, and
now awaits the executives signature.

collect upwards of a million dollars an
nually from this source.

A board of control, to have full
power over all financial matters of the
state, was recommended to the house

constitutional amendments. The bill,
lib 282, by Leuthold of Saltwater,
would provide that the board of con-
troll should have three members, one of
whom would be the governor and the
other two of whom would be appointed
by him for terms of five years.
PROPOSES STOCK LANES
Enactment of legislation designed to
bring about creation of stock lanes for
the movement of cattle through the
various counties of the state is the
hope of Senator Fred C. Campbell of
White Sulphur Springs. Senator Camp
bell is author of SB 100, known as the
''stocklane law" which is designed as
a safety measure for both the motor
lists travelling the highways of the state
and the owners of various kinds of
