- one would care to live in Montana. ana

M. Ford came to the relief Of the farme,,
in some appropriate remarks. He demon.
st,at ted that the stock-lnan who had invested

faxes or his investment, any more than did
the miner who had ore on the dump.
Mr.. HAYS also made a pointed speech on
the subject. He said that the miners Of that

tor the shipment of ore, and that now thev

ducts and property, ride on our railroads

in the banks where no assessor could get at
itand then have the audacity to say that ths
wax the minersinterestand should not betax.
cd. He assured them thatth farmer who had
been eat out by grasshoppers from year to
wear. had as much right to be exempt from
TAXATION as the miner Wbohad made a bad
investment. He said the miners had the
power and had used it, and he being in the
minority. must submit. There was no con.
sistency in their action; that the farmers
had stood up under the load long, and Were
still willing to bow to their ruling power;
that they only asked that the miners meet
them halt way that they assist them in the
work of making the country prosperous, by
building railroads to it. He was willing to
submit without grumbling, but hoped they
would nave enough charity to come out
like men and meet them in a.deceDt manner
and share with the farmers the tax burden

Helena, Feb. 10, 1877.
Another week has passed, and two days
will end the most important session of the
Legislature that we have ever had. The
last three days have proven conclusiyely
that your correspondent is not a good
prophet. The railroad bill which / expect
ed to see last acted upon, was the first to be-
come a law, and the first and foremost IA
vorite of all, the North Pacific, now sleeps
that sleep which knows no waking.
House bill No. 81, the North and South
bill, which passed the House last week, went
through the Council on Tuesday by a vote
of s yeas to 5 nays, and was delivered to the
Enrolling clerk of the House at half-past
four. At the evening session which contin
ued at Z p. M, the bill was reported correct
" enrolled, but was not finally approved
by the House until the eleventh hour, three
and one-half hours being consumed in fill
clustering over it. Tie minority made a
desperate fight for a time, but finally hadto
yield, not, however, until they had COM
pared the enrolled bill with the engrossed
bill, and were convinced off its correctness.
Mr.. Hide, chairman of the Enrolling Com
niittee Of the House, demurred to the report
which was made by Mr.. Kessler, claiming
that the bill had been enrolled before il
passed the Council; that he had been refls
ed the privilege of comparing it with the en-;
crossed bill, and after a heated struggle

Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1877-02-22

FoR forty consecutive days the chosen
representatives of the people have been in
convention enacting laws for the govern
ment of our Territory, with what success
let those who sent them there determine.
We have kept a reporter at the Capital the
entire session, who has furnished our read
ers with a clear, concise and impartial ac-
count of the deliberations Of that body.
AS to whether these deliberations have
resulted satisfactorily to a majority OF the
people, we are unable to say. One thing we
will say, however, and that's that they have
fallen short of our a%nticipations short OF
accomplishing many things which lay with
in their power, and which the country most
needed. Yet. upon the whole, we must adj
nit that the members, one and all, seemed
actuated by a desire to faithfully serve the
interests of their constituents. But herein
lay the fault, for so %strenuously did they adj
here to this principle, that it can scarcely be
said that a day passed that their action was
not marked by the strongest sectional bias.
Not only was this the case, but there SEEM
ed to be a strong desire to discriminate be-
tween classes. Now, we doubt if this was
wisdom. Certainly more good could have
been accomplished had there been a spirit
manifested to lay aside these issues and
work for the good of the entire people.
More particularly did this falling crop out
in their action upon railroads. The most
bitter antagonists of subsidy were converted
over to that faith, and radical subsidists were
changed to the opposite view as though by
magic, as measures We're discussed accom-
modating the different sections. Now, this
appears to us like a very narrow, contract
ed view. We have no sectional interests to
subserve. We know no north, no south, no
east, no west; Montana is our home and it
is ours to labor for that which is calculated
to insure the greatest degree of prosperity,
to the whole Territory. We have no valua-
Bile town property to influence no cities to
build. Neither do we entertain any malice
or envy towards any city, town or section OF
the Territory, but we are interested in the
prosperity of all alike, and regret that any
other feeling should have pervaded our leg
~islature. One thing. is evident, and that is
this, that we should not allow our sectional
or class prejudices to rule over our better
Judgment, but true craftsmanship should be
our guide. For corresponding good or evil
will be felt throughout the entire length and
breadth of the land. M Hii4
