COMMITTEE. ,
Helena, Mont., Feb. 13.—The
bill providing for a state income
tax in Montana, was saved from
death in the lower house this
morning when the speaker's vote
broke a tie, on acceptance of a
favorable report from a majority
of the committee on revenue and
taxation.
The metal mines tax bill, pro
posing 1 per cent license tax on
gross production of metal mines
survived an attack led by Lown

Leader öwitt, chairman oi rnai
committee.
The measure, after going through
committee once, had been set as spe-i
da! order of business in committee of
the Whole for 2 o'clock this afternoon
Instead, Swift asked its recommittal-j
Maury argued that the measure
might be disposed of immediately,!
with changes made in committee of
the Whole Oker attempted to kill the
measure definitely by striking out tb»;
enacting clause, but the speaker de
dared his motion out of order. The
vote. to send it back to the standing|
committee was 67 to 30.
Both Representatives Oker and H'
G. Rodgers, of Beaverhead county, re
ferred in talks on the floor to a mys
terior^ ''substitute Houhe biV No.
which they declared ha.-, been
printed and which they assert they
have seen, although no such substi
tute bill has been introduced. The
m.-tal mines tax bill is H. B. 81.
About the same time this morning
that the Senate was receiving a re
T»ort from the special committee to
investigate state boards and commis
tions, headed by J. W, JSpeer, of Great
Falls, recommending that the itato
fair be limited in its expenditure to
legislative appropriations and be not
allowed to spend income of the farr,
the lower house heard Introduction of
a bill by W- S. McCormick, of Flat

which would abolish the state fair en

Three n-ports were given in the
Senate by the committee headed by

mended abolishment of the state fair
revolving appropriation account and
repeal of the authority given the de
partment of agriculture to expend
monev taken in by the fair, saying,
The history of the fair shows that
in nearly every instance the manage

estimating future income."
The other two reports by that com

Sensitive to Public Opinion Abroad Regarding the Seizure of Ruhr District,

Paris, Feb. 12.—Considerable talk is going on in political and
financial circles in Paris as to whether France, Belgium and
T . » u,, u,,
are £°! n ? to succeed in bringing Germany to terms by the
action now being taken in the Ruhr valley under the treaty of
Versailles.
It is pointed out that every intensification of the allied action

CRITICISM WORRIES FRENCH PREMIER
Premier Poincare is understood U
be very sensitive as to public opinion
abroad regarding he seizure of # the
Ruhr, feeling acutely the, criticisms
voiced in the United States and Eng
land following each protest of the
German government against measures
which it declares illegal- Those who
take an aggressive stand hold that a
state of war, which would not neces
sarily mean the opening of hostilities
would give France a freer hand in
putting an end to the repeated pro
tests of Germany over th« alleged
illegality of the French action.
It is considered in these circles
» that there is ample ground for declar
] in a a state of war in theoe facts:
That according to their standpoint
Germany has practically torn up thei
j treaty J f Versailles and thus de-|
stroyed the peace status that existed
i by treaty.
{ That tile principal political issue In
Germany lately turned upon the ques
tion whether the treaty should be
complied with and that the compo
sition of the present government
shows that the opposition to compli-i
ance won.
That finally, there is a resistance
by the high authorities in the Ger
isrc.r. government to the application of
the measures provided for In artioe
XVTII of the treaty of Versailles.
W r rfl informed persons who are
talking of this eventuality express.
the opinion that the declaration of AI
state of war would have no worse
a [moral effect abroad than the present
action in the Ruhr itself. The French
officials, it is understood, are coming
to .the viewpoint that they are certain
to be criticized whatever they do to
get money from Germany, and that
this would be the chortest route and
might end in a few months an oper
ation which promises to drag on in
definitely.

RoUr>' Club Members Favor Addition
of One Mill to Present High
School Levy.
• -
The Bozeman Rotary Club at its
noonday meeting Tuesday, held at
the Kramer Cafe, adopted a résolu
tion indorsing the measure now be
fore the legislature providing for the
increase by 1 mill of the county high
school levy. This bill was intro,
duced for the purpose of providing
sufficient funds for county high
schools to operate a full term each
year. N -
Prof. R. J. Cunningham explained)
f u u y the reason for an additional 1
m iU upon the present levy of 5 mills
county high school purposes

falling short in meeting the cost of

siderable reduction in funds: received,
The addition of I mill to the present
levy will; Mr- Cunningham stated,
bring revenue enough to carry on the
work of the schools,
A plan had been proposed, and a
bill introduced in the legislature,
whereby a proportionate share of the
county school fund would be trans
ferred to the county high school fund
This has been studied and found to
be impractical, in that it will deprive
j the county schools of needed funds,
while not giving the high schools the
needed amount to care for the ex
pense of operation.

PP Woodard, of the Gallatin
high school, gave an outline of the re

haw th e addition of the 1 mill levy
will bring the needed revenue. He
stated the revenue of the county high
schools had depreciated during the
past four years to the extent of near

of values of asset ed property,
