The Missoulian and Herald have been
having some controversy of late in regard
to Missoula county finances. The county il
bankrupt, and, though its people are taxed
to the extreme limit of the law, and the
school fund SO Impoverished as to be almost
wholly Intellectual ; still the revenue fails to
pay the accruings interest.
The Herald points the, way out Of this di-
lemma by doubling or, trebling the rate of
taxation, and says pay the last farthing.
The Mtssoutia, asks relief through the ter
ritorial legislature. Reduction of a county
debt by the legislature would indeed be es-
Publishing a bad precedent, but. what can be
done? The people would leave their homes
rather than stand a greater rate of taxation.
The only way that we see open is for the
county. to settle with its creditors on tho best
terms possible. Its TO the interest, of the
rs well. rs of the county, for, if
nothing is done they will Inevitably lose all.

The Republican caucus decided
on a proposition to settle the State
debt on the bondholders' terms, and
Mr.. Wiltre was appointed to draft a
bill to that effect.
SENATE-Mr. Savage occupied
the time in the Senate during the
day with stump speech, showing
any amount of passion and preju-
dice. Twas a weak and futile effort
to answer Clapps statemansly
speech. The debate is to continue
tomorrow.
HoUsE.-House bills to prevent
County Courts from using public
moneys for the construction of pub
lie highways, and to prevent defaul-
ters from holding Office passed on
the third reading.
Mr.. Mathes, from the Committee
on Finance, reported that the com
mittee not having found it practica-
bic or expedient to consider the va
rious bills pending for the settle
ment of the State debt herewith
return the same without recommend
alton.
Mr.. Snodgrass, from the major
ity Of the State Debt Committee,
asked leave to submit a supplement
tary report of the majority. Mr..
Lester said it would be an extraorS
dinary proceeding and the Speaker
declared it out of order. The Com~
mittee having been discharged, to
meet the objection Mr.. Snodgrass
said he would withdraw the words
" supplementary report" and asked
to have it read with an explanation
Of his views, which was ruled out of
order. Mr.. Snodgrass appealed.
The members now rose to
their feet excitedIy and
called the ayes and noes, when Mr..
Snodgrass withdrew it. The Speak
er would have been almost unani-
mously sustained had the appeal
been insisted on. This report is un-
derstood to be the answer of the
majority to the solid minority of
Clapp and Smith.
Another fight was made over the
Local Option bill, attempts having
been made to take up the motion to
reconsider and to lay that motion on
the table, and thus kill the bill, but
the motion to table was lost.
