The attention of Chronicle readers is called
to a news story in this issue which tells of the
circulation of! initiative petitions to repeal the
legislative act creating the state board of rail
way commissioners and substituting in its place
a body controlled by the appointive power.
Coming from an unknown source, this at
tack upon the public service board of the state
proves to be a tribute to the effectiveness of
the work of that body in that certain interests
j apparently are not satisfied with the work of
the board in the interests of the people as a
whole.
Under the present law, membership on the
board is obtainable only through election by a
majority of the voters of the state. It would
be a move backward for the people of Montana
to abolish the present elective system and bring
into being the possibility of an abuse of the ap
pointive power to a board the work of which
is of! such vast and far reaching importance to
the people of the state.
No criticism can be leveled at the personel of
the present board, who have painstakingly
served Montana and through their activity
saved the people many thousands of dollars in
public service and transportation rate adjust
ments. -To deprive themselves of the right to
continue in the naming of the board member
ship to maintain that body at its present high
cajidard would be little of a calamity and we
do not belive that Montana people as a whole
will interest themselves very strongly in the
work of pushing the initiative measure.

MORE TAX-FREE PEOPLE—LESS TAX
FREE BONDS
f
Congress at its next session will consider an
amendemnt to the Federal Constitution which
provides for taxing the income from future is
sues ofi state and municipal bonds by the Fed
eral Government. It also provides that states
may tax the incomes from future issues of gov
ernment bonds that are owned within their bor
ders. In plain English this means that the in
come derived from tax-exempt bonds, instead
of being tax-free as in the past, would here
after be subject to taxation in the same manner
as income earned in any manner whatsoever.
More than a billion dollars in now diverted
every year from agriculture and business to
tax-free bonds. This is a knife that cuts both
ways. It deprives industry of the needed capi -
tal and it shifts heavier taxes upon agriculture
and business. If that leak is stopped by the
passage of the amendment, agriculture and
business will thrive as never before.
Tax-free bonds and heavy suretaxes do not
promote good times. Lower surtaxes with no
more tax-free bonds will promote prosperity.

Two candidates have already filed for judge
of this district, Lou Haven county attorney of
Big Horn county and E. E, Collins, a Billings
attorney who filed last Monday. No appoint
ment was made to fill the vacancy in this dis
trict caused by the resignation of Judge Spen
cer last March.
As the primary election draws closer ( and it
IS now only about sixty days) candidates are
coming forth and filing for office thick and
fast. Regardless of weather conditions, hail,
grasshoppers and 'sich' which would affect oth
er crops, the crop of candidates will be bounti
ful. Aspirants for state offices are showing up
every day and in a number of other counties the
political pots have already began to boil. So
far there has been but little stir among the of
office seekers in Carbon county, however we
have it there are a goodly number who are pre
pared to toss their "kelly" in the ring in the near
future.

Robinson Crusoe

Nne of the most persistent adver-1
Users in the history of success was
Robinson Crusoe. He knew what he
wanted—a ship—and he put up an ad
for one. He flung a shirt on a pole
at the top of his island; that, in the
language of the sea, was plain to j
every sea-faring man.
The circulation was small there
was no other medium but Crusoe kept
at it, despite the fact that be got no
inquiries for a long time. He changed
his copy—as one garment after an
other was frayed out—and in the end
got what he wanted.

A HAIL LOSS MAY
FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
Edmond G. Toomey
OF HELENA—REPUBLICAN
To the People of Montana—
T am a candidate for the Republican nomination for Attorney General.
That
fact, however, does not mean that I am going to try to be all things to all men. 1
make only one pledge—the same pledge to each man and each woman in Mon
tana: DAILY DEVOTION TO THE DETAILED ENFORCEMENT OF LAW,
WITHOUT THOUGHT OF POLITICS.
You fix the duties of the Attorney General as the chief law officer of Montana.
I take it that you expect him to perform those duties with an eye single to the
maintenance of law as the very foundation of orderly government. I believe
that the Attorney General's office should be as clean and as free from politics as
the courts; that the Attorney General should never tolerate the intrusion of poli
tics; that you demand that he mind the business of his office and nothing else.
Accordingly, I have no gold-brick relief to romise the farmers, no prize packages for
the merchants, no lottery tickets fhr the industrial workers, no promises on the side
to any particular group or interest in Montana.
If I am elected I will try the State's cases in the courts and not in the newspapers,
in and out of political season; I will give the Supreme Court the most loyal and
helpful service that is possible with the means at hand, and I will furnish state and
county officers prompt and hearty aid, by opinion and action, in the execution of
their official duties.
As a member of the State's Fiscal Boards, I will absolutely insist on the state
government getting back on a cr.sh basis, in obedience to the Constitution of Mon
tana, as soon as that is humanly possible.
I have spoken plainly because I have too high a regard for my fellow Montanans
to indulge in the customary campaign peneralties. If I cannot be elected on the
above principles, I prefer not to undertake the office."
