Feb. 8 – On this day in Montana history in 1921 the Montana Senate was engaged in a heated discussion over a bill to assess a poll tax of $3 on all male bachelors. The proceeds were to go into the Widow’s Pension Fund. In addition “unmarried males of a certain age and ability to assume marital relations, and who still shied away” were to have a $2 road tax levied on them. The Montana Supreme Court later invalidated both taxes.
