Attorney Jess H. Stevens writes in Kalispell dated January 14 1922 opposing an additional tax on bachelors labeled as a soldier tax. He argues such levies target ex soldiers who just returned from war and warn of potential future increases and broader tax scopes. He cites fears of evolving exemptions and notes a foreign country with two wives to illustrate unintended consequences.
At the 57th annual convention in Salt Lake City Utah in January 1922 the National Wool Growers Association adopts resolutions urging Congress to postpone 1922 forest grazing fee payments to December 1 and opposing shifts of Forest Service control. They seek leniency on renewals and non use extensions, oppose H R 7908, push for favorable grazing regulations, and press for credit relief via the Federal Reserve and War Finance Corporation.
The Montana convention urged a night session to endorse eight recommendations for federal aid road projects. They call for fewer duplicative engineering efforts, Montana based inspectors, faster final payments, less red tape, closer cooperation between agencies, and federal aid for basic road work without mandatory surfacing, citing Montana’s needs and resources.
The convention adopted a resolution urging federal aid to fund roads not requiring hard surfaces, arguing it would expand usable routes without heavy taxpayer burden. The body opposed creating a state tax commission and Highway Commissioner Landstrom proposed using half the federal quota for maintenance, leaving counties to cover half the cost.
The Elkhorn region near Boston and Montana Development grounds, led by ex lieutenant governor W. L. Allen, promises major mineral production as rail access, electric power, and modern mills boost activity. About 300 workers toil as the Argyle Silver mine on Quartz Hill, owned by Jack Leggatt, eyes rapid development and reflects a broader mining surge nearby.
The mining region in Beaverhead County now benefits from the completed railway to Elkhorn. This boost is attributed to the ongoing hard work of former Lieutenant Governor Allen, whose efforts have helped reach the present prosperous scene in the mines.
