from the East and even from Great Britain to work in the
harvest fields of western Canada.

200 Montana persons have been

In order to comply with the

conferees on the $40 ,6l5 900 District
appropriation bill for the coming
fiscal year, the final total of which
will have a bearing on tax needs,
held their first conference yester-
day afternoon without settling any
major points of difference. The
conference will be resumed tomOr-
row morning.
An outstanding issue in both the
supply bill and the tax measure is
the question of fixing a fairer Fed
eral payment toward the expenses
OF the National Capital. The final
determination of that issue also will
be a decisive factor in the scope of
the tax program.
In the supply bill the Senate has
voted to raise the House 5000 900
lump Federal payment to $780,
600 for the coming year. In the tax
bill the House has voted to make the
present s5.000000 lump sum the
permanent maximum limit of ma
tional obligation toward the Capital.
Overt0n to Press Plan.
AS the Senate District Committee
proceeds with consideration of the
tax measure, however, Senator
Overton. Democrat, of Louisiana,
will urge adoption Of his permanent
solution of the fiscal relations prob
lem, which would measure the Ma
tional obligation by the percentage
OF land acreage in the city required
for national purposes. At present
this would be 20 per cent, or about
$8OO0,0 900 for the coming year.
