County and State
Citizens to
Benefit From Bill

Montana'S dividend from the
"Veto proof" tax reduction bill
will be $13,300,000 annually, ac-
cording to a statement made
this week by the Montana Tax
payers association. ID
Basing it's figures upon con-
gresSional studies, the associa-
ton found that the estimated
reduction in this state amounts
to % per cent of of individual
income taxes collected in Mon
tana in fiscal 1947.
Using per capita figures, Big
Horn county's share of the tax
saving will be $252,000.
The association pointed out
that the new law provides for
an increase in personal exemp-
lions, a decrease In rates, the
extension Of the split income
provision to married couples in
~non-community property states
and other benefits.
"The extension of the split
income provision to all states
is particularly important to
Montana since it removes the
unfair and costly discrimination
under which the states married
couples have suffered for many
years. Montana is now on an
equal footing with its neighbors
such as Idaho and Washing
ton," the statement said.

Reports Gathered
On Potential
Damage by Big Horn

Monday night a group met IN
the Chamber of Commerce Of
flee to discuss the past and POI
tential damages by flood along
the Big Horn river from the
mouth of the Little Big Horn
to the junction of the Big Horn
and the Yellowstone.
Present were members of the
Chamber reclamation and irri
CATION committee and repre-
Sentatives of the Holly Sugar
factory, Two Leggins ditch, Low
Line ditch, Indian department.
and State Highway department..
Various individuals reported
their observation of river cut
ting and flooding in recent
years. 1t was stated that 22
miles northwest of the mouth
of the Little Horn. the Big Horn
has cut in so rods. Two miles
farther north it has cut in q
half mile. Since the factory
water intake for the Holly Su&
gar corporation was built, the
river has moved a thousand
feet east. At the Funston place,
the river, by flooding into the
old channel has come close to
flooding the highway. Low Line
ditch officials reported that
they were having trouble keep
ing the channel open at the
ditch headgate. At Nine Mile
bridge. the river has cut q
channel west. of the bridge
leaving it isolated.
The situation at Sorrell Horse
is threatening, according to- re-
/ ports. The river channel has
moved west two miles in the
past IS years, it was stated. Az
one time the highway and an
irrigation canal were washed
out. The channel has since re-
coded from this location. How
ever, nearby, the river appears
to be cutting toward farm
buildings and the highway. Is
has moved between As and GO
rods in this direction in the last
few years, observers said.
Before adjourning, those pres
ent agreed to cooperate in the
gathering of more data regard
ing the Big Horn.
Present were Ralph Ephland
and Mr.. Austinson of the State
Highway department.; Andrew
Kallen, director of the Low Line

dent Of the Two Leggins ditch;

Elections Friday to Be FirstStep in
Establishing Competency Commission
For Crows Under Act Signed in March
Two Crows, One
I'D Man to Be on
New Commission

This week steps to put into
effect the new law, passed last
month by congress, to grant
competency to members of the
Crow Indian tribe, werebeing
taken in the Agency office and
among the tribesmen.
Under the measure signed
March Is by President Truman,
Crow Indians classified as COM
petent may lease their trust
lands and those of their minor
children for farming and graz
ing purposes, whether they are
inherited lands or original al
lotmentS. The new act also pro-
videS that only on inherited or
devised trust lands which have
more than five competent heirs
or dsviSeeS will it be necessary
for the superintendent to ap-
prove the lease made by compe-
tent Indians.
Leases can be made for a
period of not to exceed five
years except On the irrigable
lands under the Big Horn Irri-
cation unit, which may be
leased for a period of not to
exceed ten years. All competent
leases must be recorded at the
Crow Indian agency office, as
in the past. 4
The provisions of the act do
not in any way remove the
trust restrictions on the land
as they apply to sale or mort
gaging of the property. The in
tent of the act, it was stated,
is to make the Crow Indians
who are declared competent re-
sponsible for the leasing of
their own lands when possible
