At County Assessors Meet
Montgomery Ward Cowboys
Hit By Equalization Board Head

Dan Fulton, chairman of the Board
of Equalization, Wednesday, told the
annual meeting of County Assessors
not to upset the economic apple cart.
The Assessors are very close to the
people who are the source of our
governmental authority and that Sin
theory at least,," said Fulton, 'we
citizens can withdraw from our gov
eminent its power to tax u.s.
Fulton commented on the reclassi-
fication of land which is now nearing
completion in the state. He said that
it should be kept on current renewal
basis to keep it in line with different
land uses, changes in improvements,
etc. 81 guess an assessors work (like

During the last legislature, Mass
man states in an affidavit filed with
his brief, an amendment was pre-
pared for House Bill 348 which speci-
fically provided that gross income
of farm co-operatives would be de-
termined in the same manner under
Montana State law as they were de-
termined under applicable federal tax
regulations.
The head of the Montana Cor
poration License Tax section of the
State Board of Equalization ap-
Peared before proponents of the
legislation at the request of Mass
man to help prepare the amend
ment, which was incorporated into

Highway Dept.
Concerned Over
Suicide Posts

AS a result of recent deaths caused
by the Suicide posts" littering bridge
approaches the Highway Department
| Monday decided to take a more active
role in pointing out the danger. LAT
| est deaths charged to the posts were
the three near Superior last week
end.)
Shoulder stripe will be placed to
indicate the narrowing roadway as
it approaches the bridge. Temporary
barriers will be placed to show this
narrowing until the stripping is done.
Although no more of those massive
concrete posts are being constructed
there is need for some type of a de-
Hector to be designed for the new
bridges which simply begin with the
steel guard rail. Rolling up one of
those rails inside your vehicle could
prove to be quite hazardous.
The toboggan slide side ramps sug-
gested in the VOICE two months ago
are being given serious consideration.
The refinement of the shoulder struc-
lures includes individual arresting
net affixed at the edge of the safety
incline.
Long before these new designs be-
come reality the suicide posts should
be committed TO the jack hammer or
dynamite.
There is no chance of surviving
an encounter, with these bad designs.
The impact of the mass of stationary
inertia at any speed above 80 miles
an hour is fatal.-FS

before long we hope to get it into
useful operation"
The number of lady assessors is
on the increase. of those attending
this meeting over a third had the
female faculty of being able to assess
the value of any mans property with
rapid accuracy.
Fulton warned that railroads might
not be able to pay the taxes they
had in the past.
The assessors had been wined and
dined by Tom Connally, of the rail-
road lobby the previous evening ut
the Placer Hotel
Fulton commented on the rising
values of ranch land in Montana with
the exceptionally low taxes. Said he:
Probably we should tax the land
high enough to discourage those
Montgomery Ward cowboys from
buying ranches. The trouble is, it
just doesn't work. They have oil wells
which to live and to pay the taxes.
They can still sell the land at profit
great enough to recoup the losses
if the initiation keeps up fast enough.
SIN the meantime the so-called
real rancher' who doesn't have an
other source of income and must live
on the income from his land, GER
tainly is unable to pay rate of tax
which would discourage the man who
buys the land primarily for an infla-
ton hedge"
POSSIBLY Mr.. Fulton should give
careful study TO the proposed Gradu-
ated Land Tax as means of assur-
ing adequate tax payment by these
big time SPECTATORS, and to afford
effective protection for the average
sized Montana rancher.-PV Editor.)
Farms and ranches are considered
better speculative property than ur-
pan lots because the economic obso-
escence" risk is less on the former.

American University's mara
thon Symposium Of Contem-
porary Music ended last night
with a program by the Univer-
sity Orchestra in C.sndenen
Hall. Some Of the music was
stylistically conservative, but
it is fair to say that the pro-
gram was very different from
the kind of thing usually played
by amateur and student orches-
tras. It Is also fair TO say that
the performances met the high
est standards that one can rea-
sonably expect from such an
ensemble.
I was unable to hear more
than the opening Of Mr.. Poz-
dro's symphony. What I did
hear sounded like a competent
work in the style its detractors
call Rochester gothic" But it
is hardly Just to form an opin-
ion on the basis Of a fractional
hearing.
Leaving then Mr.. Pozdro's
work out Of consideration ]
found Donald MacInnis' 12-
tone Dialogues not only the
most interesting work Of the
evening, but a work that would
hold its own on any program.
The composer has a gift for
structure and melodic line that
Is thoroughly enviable. The
piece includes a section where
twelve instruments, entering
successfully, improvise on the
row, and the young players
carried off this difficult feat
with utmost aplomb.
Mr.. Schwarz' symphony is
conservative and reminiscent Of
composers as diverse as Sibel-
ius, ShoStakovitch and Vaug-
han Williams. A description
couched in these terms sounds
ghastly, and I hasten to assure
you that the music sounds good
Mr.. Schwartz is a gifted young
man, and while I wish his tech
nique were more modern, there
can be no doubt about his abil-
ity.
There is little to be said fol

LEAVING FOR EAST GERMANY
Conoeists Accept Communist Challenge
By CHARLES COVELL
outdoor Editor

Two Washington area men
are paying half of their own
expenses for a trip, starting
Sunday, to East Germany to
attempt to beat the Commu-
niStS at their own game. They
don't expect to win but they
hope to learn a lot.
The game is white water
canoeing. Europeans have been
masters Of it for years. In the
United States, the sport is rela-
lively new; in fact, no more
than five years old. This will be
the first time Americans ever
have competed in the world
championships.
The Americans are John L.
Berry of 1914 Greenlawn drive,
Bethesda, and Robert E. Har-
rigan of 5113 Weehawken road,
Glen Echo Heights. Both are
members of the Canoe Cruisers
Association which each May
sponsors a white water race
on the Potomac.
Races Near Dresden
The championships will start
July % on the Weiberitz River
a few miles from the center
Of Dresden. Teams from sew
eral of the CommuniSt-bloc
countries plus others from
Western Europe will compete.
White water canoe racing is
just what its name implies,
racing through rapids, gorges
and boulder-strewn stretches.
The WeiberitZ has a l2-mile
current, about on a par with
the Little Falls stretch Of the
Potomac.
There will be two days of
Slalom, or obstacle course,
events and one day of straight
downriver competition inter-
Spersed by a steamer trip to
Switzerland for relaxation.
Germans Returning
One other team will repre-
sent the United States but
actually its three members are
Germans who have lived in
this country a year or more
and thus under AAU rules are
eligible to compete. One, a
former world champion, is re-
turning to an uncertain re-
ception because he fled Dresden
five years ago. Ii
This team is being Spon- '
Sored by the Chamber of Com I
merce Of Salida, Colo. It will
use kayaks while Berry and h
Harrigan will paddle canoes. I
There will be five classes at {
Dresden, with the principal ,
events for two-man canoes and /
single foldboats or kayaks. {
Others will be for one-man !
canoes, man and woman ca
noes and women's kayaks.
There also will be team races
