Benton Trip Helps Defeat Montana Exemption Bill 1880
In 1880 Montana legislators opposed to railroad subsidies fled Benton to thwart a tax exemption bill for the Utah Northern line. The anti subsidy group, led by Dick Hickman and others, rode out by stagecoach after a log blocked Ten Mile Creek. Back in Helena the plan failed as the railroad bill passed. the tale preserves a pivotal moment in Beaverhead county politics and state finance.
