LIONS CONVENE FOR NEW YEAR WITH NEW HEAD The Poplar Lions Club met for the first time Tuesday evening with the largest attendance since the teachers banquet. Teachers had a large part in this meeting also, as Lion Duane Adams had invited 13 men of the school staff to attend. In all over 40 were in attendance. Skuli ��� spoke briefly of his pleasure in working with the club this fall and reviewed the activities of his time in office. A few of the activities were Merlin the Magician program at the school, the fine teacher banquet jointly sponsored with the Chamber of Commerce, and the very successful carnival. Lion ��� has felt it necessary to resign the presidency due to personal reasons, principal one being the construction of the new hospital in the spring. He closed his remarks with the presentation of the presidential lapel button to Allen "Buster" Zimmerman. Buster was elected to fill out the unexpired term by the board of directors at a December meeting. A financial report given to the club showed over $1500 presently in the treasury. Most of the funds on hand are designated to the l.aymeni on the $5000 pledge made to the hospital by the Poplar Lions. It is hoped another $2000 may be paid on the pledge before the spring closing of the local club this spring. A change has been made in the meeting hour to better facilitate activities of Lions members. The new meeting hour will be at 6:30 p.m. and the bowling league operating Tuesday nights has been set back 15 minutes to make it pos-1 sible for all Lions to be at the' dinner meetings. All Lions who are able to attend but will need to leave early, can be excused under new action of the club. Those out of town or unable to attend may be excused if the membership committee or the secretary has been informed before the meeting. This will help in making it possible for all eligible Lions to be credited with perfect attendance when sick or out of town on meeting nights. All members not in attendance at one meeting or excused are to be reminded before the next meeting by the secretary. The Shamrock Cafe which has been serving the Lions Club through the years felt unable to continue due to additional commitments made by them. The Lions issued a vote of thanks to Lyle and Erma Phetteplace for their help to the club. Mrs. Elna Lind-quist has taken over the serving of meals for the Lions at the Legion Club. Several members arc sick and in the hospital. Cards to them will be sent by the club. Special sympathy is expressed by the Lions to Lion M T. James who was away at the funeral of his wife. Lion Bud Nass was appointed Tail Twister for the balance of the year. Nass was one of a committee of three to select a new Tail Twister. Buster Zimmerman and Ray Boulds combined as committee members to fill the job with the third member of the committee. �Contributed. I8TORIOAL SOCIETY HELENA.

Tribal Welfare Committee Sets Business Hours The Welfare Committee will be available every Wednesday at the tribal office to take applications for general tribal assistance, it was announced by the tribal office this week. Commissioners Continue to Knock State Tax Board County commissioners from District 4 joined the ever-increasing ranks of commissioners from all over Montana in protesting the State Board of Equalization's proposal which would raise taxes on non-irrigated farm land. The group, of which Richland county is a member, recently met in Glen-dive. Gordon W. Russell, acting secretary stated that discussion was held relating to the values on farm lands as recommended by the State Board of Equalization. The discussion, according to Russell, was whether or not any changes should be made in the farm values until the reclassification program is completed. Most of the morning meeting was taken up with the discussion of the reduction of assessments on private utilities. The following resolution was unanimously passed and adopted: "Whereas, the State Board of Equalization has this year cut the assessments on public utilities by 5.06 per cent. "Now. therefore, be it resolved that any further redactions by the State Board of Equalization on public utilities will justify a like reduction on all properties within the several counties. "Be it further resolved, that this group request the Montana Association of County Commissioners to consider court action to test the legality of the recent reduction by the State Board of Equalization of tax assessments of the private utilities in the State of Montana." The group also discussed the code which changed the method of apportionment of highway construction moneys and noted that since that time there has been a reduction in the money allowed for farm-to-market roads in the various counties. The resolution passed by District 4 commissioners is very similar to a resolution passed late in 1959 by the District 3 commissioners, of which Roosevelt county is a member. District 3 commissioners were the first county group in the state to make known their protests to the State Board's proposal. Since that time county after county has joined in raising a chorus of "disapproval to the Board's suggestion that the assessment on dry tillable farm land be raised. Since that time the problem of decreased assessments for utilities and increased assessments for the fanner has developed to the point, where, according to some critics, it will be a major political issue in Montana during 1960. Critics of the State Board contend thai they may be doing tnqir job of equalizing but that it is being done too late. If such a move is to be made, they contend, it should have been done be?. re the reclassification program now under wav was begun, rather than in the middle of the program. Sheriff's Office Recovers $16,000 In Property in '59 The Roosevelt county sheriff's office, headed by E. G.
