FAVOR COLLECTION
OF TAX BV COUNTY
*
Flathead county automobilists have
gone on record as favoring a law
giving county commissioners power to
levy a gasoline tax within their coun
ty, the funds collected thereby to be
used for road construction and main
tainance. The association also favors
the county collecting the auto license
tax, and that the state furnish the li
cense plates to the several counties.
The association has notified the
representatives in the legislature of
their action, which was reduced to a
resolution and sent. to the members.
The resolutions are as follows:
W horeas, There have been various
bills introduced in the Eighteenth
legislative as. embly relative to motor
vehicle registration fees and gaso
line taxes; and,
Whereas, We believe in "home
rule," and that the county commis
sioners of each county are better able
to determine the necessity for and
the amount of taxes to be levied f^r
h
moneys to be expended in their re
spective counties, for high way pur
poses, as well as for all other pur
poses, in their respective counties;
therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Flathead County
Automobile Association, that we fa
vor the enactment pf the following
legislation by our prient legislature:
ll) That
numbers shall be furnished by the
State of Montana at cost to the re
spective counties; (2) that county
treasurers shall be authorized to issue
such numbers to applicants for one
dollar per set, and (3) that the coun
ty commissioners shall be authorized
to levy a tax of not less than 3 nor
more than 5 cents per gallon on all
gasoline sold in their respective coun
ties for automobile purpose.-, to cre
ate a fund to be used solely for high
way purposes in their own counties,
and so that tourists may assist in the
construction and maintenance of ou**
highways; and, be it further
Resolved, That copies of these
resolutions be fumkhed to our mem
bers of the legislature, and to the
press of the state.
Adopted February 3, 1923.

ation.

INCOME TAX MEASURE.
(Confined from page one)
and rigned to 17, with two memorials
and a concurrent resolution in addi
The measure to do away with the
state tex book commission and leave
selection of school texts to each coun
ty, introduced by J- Q. Zuck, of Roose
velt county, and six others, came out
of committee of the whole this after
noon after an hour and a half of de
bate occupied laregly by Zuck in ex
planation of the measure.
The House mea. ure to require the
state purchasing agent to advertise
for printing of the state treasurer's
quarterly report, which in the lan
guage of Representative Carlson of
Gallatin county, "has been a political
lootball for the last 30 days," came
up when E. H. Goodman, of Broad
water county, moved it be brought
from committee and put for third
reading at the top of the list. Car!
E. Boorman, of Cascade county, failed
in an attempt to kill the measure
when his motion to table Goodman's
motion was voted down, Walter E.
Pope, by amending Goodman's motion,
had the bill brought up for special
order in the Hou^e committee of the
whole, where a number of changes
in the wording wer emade before it
was recommended out and placed at
the head of the list for third reading.
Efforts by Lester Loble, father of
the resolution which precipitated the
House committee investigation of the]
state's prohibition officers, to force
report of the majority members of
the committee out tomorrow, failed.
f Loble. m minority member of Urn
committee, declared his report ready,
but Repreaenutaiive Boorman, chair
nan of the committee, secured a 15
to 44 vote for his motion that the
*
committee be given until the 50th day
of the session to make its report,
The measure to cut the employes of,
thé state superintendent of public in-'
struetion to one deputy, one clerk and.
one stenographer, which was xecom
mitted to the committee on education
last week, after 'it had apparently!
been given a clear track for passage,
was ordered out of committee again
this afternoon, when Walter Smeth
urst, of Mussellshell county, moved
its recall and that it be placed on the
général order. The vote for his mo
tion was 65 to 33.

commission, but
said he was not so muen concerned,
as he explained the principal nego
tiations already had been concluded.
Senator Smoot said he had no objec
tions to the addition of Democrats to
the commission, and added that he
also would not object to limitation of
the bill to approve of the British
funding agreement and dropping of
legislation applying to debts of other
nations.
Su planting of the shipping bill
came as a surprise, both to the Re
publican and Democratic sides. The
motion to lay it aside was made by
Senator Jones, Republican, of Wasa
ington, its manager after Senator
King, Democrat, of Utah, had
wrecked a plan agreed upon by Re
publican leaders in conference with
President Harding today and yester
day at the White House, to have the
shipping bill temporarily laid ^side
for the British funding bill. Senator
King refused unanimous consent
the arrangement and Senator Jones
then unexpectedly moved to give the
British funding bill right of way.
This discounted the privileged
status held by the shipping bill since
December 11 last, when debate was
begun. It was conceded to be the
most severe setback of the many al
ready suffered by the bill, which for
months has been laid aside temporar
ily by unanimous consent for consid
eration of annual appropriations and
many other bills- It can only
broughmt before the Senate again

ponents said they believed they could
