IN OIL OUTPUT
HELENA—At the beginning of
1926, Montana stood thirteenth in thel
list of oil producing states of the
union, being ranked in the order giv
en by California, Oklahoma, Texas,
Arkansas, Kansas, Wyoming, Louis
iana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Kentucky and West Virginia, accord
ing to the division of publicity, de
partment of agriculture, labor and
industry.
At the end of the first quarter of
1926, Montana stood twelfth, having
passed West Virginia, and it is no
impossible that by the end of 1926
the state will stand just below Louis
iana and in eighth place.
In 'the average daily production in
barrels per well, Montana's rank is
even better, standing sixth among the
states on January 1, 1926. At the
end of 1925, Montana's 554 producing
wells had poured forth an average of
20.3 barrels per day.
Stales leading Montana in average
production in barrels per well, are
California, Arkansas, Wyoming and
New Mexico. Montana last year pro
duced on an average more than twee
as much per well as Oklahoma with
eight barrels, almost four times as
much as Kansas with 5.6 barrel?, and
more than Louisiana with 16.5 bar
rels per well per day.
The total production cf oil in Mon
tana to January 1, 1926, amounted
13,016,046 bairels valued at $19,556,
784.00. Als an indication of the state's
forward stride in gross production,
there are t'day about 500 producing
wells in the Kevin-Sunburst field
alone, and the total production of the
field was on February 27, more than
15,000 barrels.
WOULD DIRECTLY
BENEFIT MONTANA
HELENA.—One hundred and thir
ty-two million dollars worth of
per was exported from the United
State in the year 1924, largely
way of the Great Lakes, in which
gion it had undergone certain
cesses of manufacture. Had it
out over the St. Lawrence seaway,
instead of paying high rail transpor
tation costs to the coast, the
saving in cost would have accrued
the manufacturers, to the mine
ers, and to the miners, and an essen
tial industry of Montana would
been materially benefitted thereby,

WOOL GROWERS
FIA 120,000,000
AS CROP VALUE
Montana's 4,000 wool growers, car
ing for 2,837,000 sheep, value their
1926 crop of wool and lambs at not
less than $20,000,000, according to
Murray E. Stebbins, secrtaty of the
Montana Wool Growers' association.
Mr. Stebbins believes the Montana
clip will this year be above the aver
age in both quality and weight of
fleece, because of the open winter and
plentiful supply of feed on ranches.
Prices for wool and lambs are not
so favorable as a year ago, nor is the
<4
market as active," Mr. Stebbins said,
"but as shearing time approaches the
market is growing stronger and the
wool men of the state have confidence
in their industry and are not accepting
j
low prices now being offered. They ;
feel that wool and lamb prices are j
sure to go higher, so are holding
their product. This has more refer
ence to wool than to lambs. The
corn belt feeders have started to place
orders for feeder lambs, one order
coming to C. E. Long of Lewistown,
for fourteen double-deck carloads at
ten cents per pound.
i
yy
The secretary reports lambing in
full force and thus far Montana has
never had a better lamb crop.
"The lambs are strong, large and
active, and the percentage of loss
small," he said. "Some of the largest
spreads in the state expect a 90 per
cent lamb crop when normally a 65
to 75 per cent crop is considered good.
This increased lamb crop is due to
improved methods of handling the
lambs, disease control, more general
use of sheds, better feeding of ewes
and the favorable lambing weather.
There are about 2,000 faun flocks
in Montana, and many of these will
average more than 100 per cent lamb

ALWAYS
REFUTES ASSERTION THAT 3-MILL LEVY
MUST BE APPORTIONED ON CENSUS BASIS
Refutation of the assertion that
money raised by the proposed five
mill school levy must be apportioned
upon the basis of the school census
is contained in an «opinion by At
torney 'General L. A. Foot. The
opinion has been forwarded to
Miss May Tromper, superintendent
of public instruction, who had
quested Mr. Foot to outline whether
the constitution or the laws of Mon
tana provide a method for the dis
tribution of such proceeds.
The attorney general holds that:
1—The constitutional provisions
providing for the distribution of the
income from the school funds have no
application to the proceed? derived
from the proposed additional five
I mill tax levy.
re
2—The legislative assembly may
opportion the proceeds in such man
(Sec. 9, Art. XII of the Mom.ana
Constitution).
4—It may he increased by sub
mitting the proposition to a vote of
the people. (Sec. 9, Art. XII of the
Montana Constitution).
ner as it sees fit, and that each suc
ceeding legislative assembly may, if it
sees fit, change the method of ap
portionment and distribution.
3—The rate of taxation for state
purposes is fixed by the constitution.
5— When the tax is levied, it must
be paid into the state treasury. (Sec.
10, Art. XII of the Montana Consti
tution).
6— It cannot be drawn from the
treasury except by an appropriation.
(Sec. 10, Art. XII of the Montana
Constitution).
7— No appropriation can be made
for a longer term than two years.
(Sec 10, Art. XIÎ of the Montana
Constitution).
8— Hence, each succeeding legis
lative assembly must appropriate the
proceeds of the five-mill levy before
it can be used for any purpose.
9—Assuming that the measure in
it is my
4ft
question lecomes a law,
opinion that each succeeding legis
lative assembly is the sole judge of
the method of distributing the pro
ceeds of the five mills. They are
directed simply to appropriate it for
the maintenance of the public elemen
tary and high schools of the state.
