could b listed, easily enough. Green de-
clarsd it was the best point to put 1t on
footing whereby dealing In 1t would be en-.
couraged. Speaking Of Jay Goulds hold on
the Western Union, Green said year ago II

but il had been increased TO thirty millions
Since Gould went into the company two
years ago, not share had been transferred
from his name; on the contrary, the amount
had been steadily increasing.

SPECIAL LEGISLATION.

The Miner this week has offered some well
considered objections to the special legisla-
ton to which this session is devoting much
Of its time. We quote:
"So uncomfortable part Of the legislation
that has been brought forward at the pres
emit session Of the Montana Legislature, has
been of the character known - special or
class legislation. Il cannot be said that mucn
of II Is pernicious except 30 far IS 1t violates
fundamental principle. The most OF TINS
special legislation can be accomplished oy
general euactments. The very large mum.
Der of bills allowing school districts 70 issue
bonds could have the same authority given
by q uniform law, allowing these distriets
upon vote of the residents to incur an In
debtedness not exceeding . certain per cent.
of the assessable property OF such district.
The various funding bills that have been
brought forward to bond the debts OF the va
rious counties is Of the most dangerous class
of special legislation. A general act In re-
lation to towns and counties should govern
the finances and restrain the volume OF the
debt Of ell municipalities. There should De
no inducement anywhere for Interested par
ties ever to come before the Legislature seek
ing to have interest compounded by renew
al of the obligations they hold. The general
incorporation act for towns Ii sufficient, ana
gives ample powers 10 towns aspiring to mu-
nicipal government. The session has been
too much engrossed by special legislation"
There Is good sense and sntreaty for good
legislation in the above. The principle ad'
vocated should have been keptin view by all
legislators from the commencement OF the
session, and 1t is not too late even now to
shut of special legislation and enact general
laws. When legislation to bond debt, OF
build school houses, or incorporate towns,
etc., is required, a special bill Is drawn up
and a special enactment 10 made or rejected
for that particular case. What will apply In
one case or one locality will As we'll apply In
all, aud be subject to approval Of those In
terested when the occasion rises. Judieia
determination in one case will apply to all
and the measure will stand in the codifica
lions and revisions instead of becoming al
antiquarian record In the specialties of som
old session. One fourth Of the time Of thu
LEGISLATURE is consumed in tinkering al
special legislation and the demands for
multiply like dragons teeth as communi.ie
grow. Give us good general laws and Their
will be little necessity for special laws, an
less of that delay after emergencies hav
arisen before special dispensation can b
had from the Legislature to do some q
communities realize the necessity OF.

only two Democrats, Messrs. Forbis and
Allen, voting for 1t. The ostensible reason
assigned was the hardship 1t would work on

REQUIRED. If that was the real cause, the
Democrats should redeem themselves from
unjust suspicious by urging such statutory
definition Of the qualifications Of voters that
the hordes of construction gangs, and like

Mr.. Cox, Of Custer, has disappointed the
hopeful confidence Of those whose sympa-
thies he awakened by his appeal to be rid of
the incubus of that court-martial record, and
who anticipated perhaps with too much faith
and too little reason that he would redeem
himself In the Legislature. His latest repre-
hensible exploit Is the vehement opposition
he has offered to the petition, signed and At
tested by many of the leading citizens OF his
county, alleging that gross wrongs are being
perpetrated by the Board Of Commissioners
Of Custer county; that the Board itself Is
holding in violation Of the law, and that
Custer county is rapidly drifting into bank
ruptcy through the dishonest practices OF
said commissioners. Mr.. Cox should have
been the first man to advocate whatever in
vestigation could be made Of these charges
by the Legislature and to have led in the
legislation required to prevent the repetition
of such abuses. Instead of that he throws
himself as q rhetorical, obstacle in the way.
What would any taxpayer Of any other
county think of their representative II like
charges were made concerning their commits
sioners and he endeavored TO suppress the
Investigation and remedial legislation
He would never sit as their member
again; nor will Mr.. Cox sit again from Gus
ter county. He has thrown away his oppor'
tunity. These charges may not be snbstan
tiated. But they are Of gravsst import and
are alleged by citizens of high character who
have investigated the. case and implore re
lief. II rises above local question. 1t de
velops q defect in the laws, and 1t is the dut!
of every legislator, irrespective of politics Of
locality, to enter zealously into the work o
protecting the county treasures from thu
possibility of nefarious practices. Instea'
of whitewashing, fumigate. Do not allow
Custer county TO be bankrupted, and publisl
to- all other counties that the doors Of th
Treasury are open to pay for rotten lumbe
and furniture never furnished. Stop til
possibility of o5enses in the future, anyhow
and, If the past offenses are beyond legisla
tive reach, the Custer county people ca
prosecute the offenders in the courts. tn
integrity Of the Legislature and the welfaI
. Of al Montana are ct stAke In this matte
and the attitude of Mr.. Cox should be o
, verely rebuked.
