We fail to zee how our article on ex-
cessive taxation was demolished by our
neighbor, except that we had placed the
figures too high. To admit that taxes
are too high and the lowest estimate bad
enough is all we claim. The fact that
they are too high now to meet the public
necessity still remains. We hope this
fact will become 80 apparent that we shall
next year at least escape some Of the
burdens we are bearing this year. 1.-THE
asseasment bad been properly made as it
should have been a twelve mill tax
would have brought more revenue than
. seventeen mill tax this year. A news
paper should not be behind . Grand
Jury in condemning such faulty assess
ments, and we should feel that We were
mot doing onr duty if we left anything
undone to Lift the burdens now pressing
20 grievously on our people. It is those
Of small means Who suffer the most. All
they have Is in sight and cannot be
covered up. We fail to SEQ that calling
attention to these errors and decrying
heavy taxation, will keep people out.
That i just the opposite Of our aim. 1t
10 TO induce lower taxation, 90 the fact
remains to speak for itself. Figures will
not lie and when we have reduced taxa
ton to the lowest possible point oonsis-
tent with the needs and urgent necessities
Of the county We have done all we can.
II b time enough to pay debts when they
have been contrcted.

The subject ola Press association for
the Northwest is being discussed very
fovorably. 1t is something needed and
we heartily hope that such an association
will reformed. We all realize that there
is now superabundance Of news IN the
Associated Press dispatches, which is not
worth the cost of composition, and COM
posed mostly of news items originating
east of Chicago, and not 80 interesting to
readers in the extreme west. Ifsuch an
association could be formed, gathering
the news of the great Northwest, as well
as that of interest only from other parts
of the United States, it would be hailed
with satisfaction by the entire North
west. The Pioneer Press is the only paper
which makes a special. feature Of this
class of news, and do 80 at their own ex-
pense. 1t is not probable that the cost
of dispatches would be less, but they
would be of more interest. Wetrust that
the objects of the association will be ac-
complished.

For several days we have been corkine
up our curiosity to keep from finding out
what was the occasion Of the visit Of
Hon. Sam Word, Of Butte, and James r.
Maxwell, Of the State Of Delaware, to our
city. We had been cautioned to button
our lip" and did 30, but the secret is out
Is will be seen by local in this paper,
that of the sale by Daniel Maxey of his
coal mine in Rocky Canyon to Mr.. Max
we'll for the sum of $4,000. This is the
first sale outright of any coal mines east
of Bozeman. We are glad that this prop
erty has fallen into the hands of man of
capital and one familiar with coal min
ing. Unless efforts are made to supply
Boseman with coal, except in the ran
dom way we have been receiving it.
there will be times when the supply will
be entirely out. We trust that Mr.. Max
we'll will make some arrangement with
the railroad to transport coal and estab-
lish depot for its sale in town. The
coal from this mine is of excellent quail
ity, and q . great many have dis
carded the use of wood, there will be
constant and increasing demand for it.
As We have before said, certainty Of
being able to obtain coal at all times
will induce . great many more to use il
than do % now.

Il seems that the soldier vote again
figures in the election at Miles City.
While we do not know of any law for
bidding soldiers to exercise the elective
franchise; it has not been the custom.
The third subdivision of section 1859.
revised statues of the United States reads
Is follows: "No officer, soldier, seaman
mariner or other person in the army or
navy, or attached to troops in the service
of tie United States shall be allowed to
vote in any Territory, by reason ofserv-
ice therein, unless such Territory is, and
has been, for the period Of six months,
his permanent domicile." BY this it
would seem that they have q right to
vote, If they haye been long enough in
the Territory. It has been generally
held, that they should be removed as
much % possible from any participation
in the civil affairs Of the government, but
if they offer TO vote, we do not see how
their ballots can be legally declined.

In view of the fact that scarlet fever,
diptheria and even smallpox may at any
time become epidemic we cannot too
repeatedly call attention to the fact that
cleanliness is absolutely necessary and
that proper disinfection be made of ones
premises. There are many disinfectants
which are cheap and easily applied.
Chloride of lime costs but trifie and
NAV be advantageously used in and
around ones dwelling and outhouses, by
simply sprinkling it around. Carbolic
acid can also be procured cheaply and
your house filmigated with it occasional
". In fact you cannot be too careful in
seeing that the odor around your home
should be pure and sweet. Good pure
air is as necessary to health as pure water
and unadulterated food. Attend to these
details, see that your children are warm
" clad, pay attention to their diet and do
not allow them to 60 about the house
complaining, without giving their com
plants your attention, and should they
bv accident be exposed to infectious
diseases their system will be in such a
condition to repel the attack at least to
mitigate its effect. Where proper sanitary
conditions exist, no disease can take an
alarming or wide spread course, nor be-
come very fatal in its results. An ounce
IF prevention. is worth pound OF cure.

The official report of Governor Crosby

The official report of Governor Crosby
to the Secretary of the Interior on the
condition of the National banks Of Mon
tsna is significant as showing the wealth
and solidity of Montana. Of Helena in
particular we may say that there is not
another place in the United States of the
same size of equal wealth. From the
Helena Heralds statement the resources
Of the National banks of Montana from
all sources foot up 1920, 25335. The
capital stock paid in $1,l75OOO. In addi-
ton there are estimated deposits in
private banks of 81 500. 900 with capital
stock of 100000. Is there another Ter
ritory of like population that can make
such showing? Coming as it does in
an official manner it is entitled to due
weight and will prove good advertise
ment of our Territory. While people are
talking about dull times it would be well
for them to reflect that we are about as
we'll off as the people in any other local
ity a is evidenced very frequently by
letters received from parties who have
left Montana with view of lettering
their fortunes, all uniting in saying Eve
wish we were back in Montana"

There is . great scarcity in Montana OF
girls to do general housework. It being
almost impossible to secure them. Wages
are 1t least ten times as high IS they are
in the eastern states and there they are
overcrowded. There are hundreds OF
good and competent girls without en-
ployment who would no doubt be glad to
get to Montana, If they could manage to
get enough money to pay the expense Of
coming here. Would it not be a good
scheme for those who need help and can
not get along without it, to club together
and import number of them. It seems
the matter could be arranged by paying
their fare and deducting 30 much from
their monthly wages, until reimbursed
for the outlay. 1t seems great pity,
where so many are ON the verge Of star
walton and working at starvation wages
in the east, that some plan could not be
devised to have q lot of them come out
to this great and growing west.

Tho Nor North. Hpaf takes the

The Near North West takes the same
view that we do, in regard to the duty Of
the canvassing boards in counting the
votes cast for members of the Legislative
assembly. 1t is not their province to 60
behind the returns and decide as to who
are or are not eligible. AS We before
stated they can only canvass what has
been the duly certified vote sent up from
the different precincts. They should of
course conform to the law governing
elections and in case of apparent and
wilful neglect in the discharge Of duty,
or some fragrant and palpable error in
the returns may throw out the votes of a
precinct, but in no sense can be made
the Judges. The law provides for contests
where one is aggrieved or wronged We
hold the view that the certificate must
be issued to the one having the highest
number of votes and let the right to ex-
ercise the functions of a particular office
be decided by competent authority. In
the case of delegates elected to the Con-
vention, that body can decide who are
qualified members and we presume will
be governed by the law in the case, in
deciding who shall be entitled to seats.

Governor Crosby adheres, and we

sentence in the penitentiary. The rea-

Az rule the guilty are more apt to es-
cape than for an innocent man to be con-
victed, and unless paramount reasons are
shown, it were better not to interfere

by citizens of Livingston and Mammoth
Hot Springs and other points, asking a
resumption of daily mail service, between
Livingston and the Park. This is right,
but it ought to go on to Cooke City. The
CHRONICLE called attention to this some

gotten up. A letter was also read from
the Fargo Foundry Company, stating
that if land for building site and cash

transfer its business from Fargo to Llv.

We clip the following from the Rocky
Mountain Husbanman and commend its
perusal to our farmers. In view of the
fact that there will be seasons when crops
will prove failure, it would be wise for
our farmers to diversity their pursuits as
much as possible, and among these none
pay q better profit on the investment
than the subject matter of this article:
"The advent of the railroad has had
less effect upon the poultry industry Of
Montana than any other branch of hus-
bandry. Nearly every other product has
taken a decided tumble, but eggs and
poultry maintain themselves well, and
there seems to be no immediate proba-
bility of any serious decline. That the
home market will exceed the home sup
ply for many years yet there is no doubt.
The poultry grower, therefore, has moth
ing to fear except competition from the
States, but this cannot prove very seri-
GUS, since eggs cannot be laid down now
in our railroad towns for less than IS
cents per dozen by the box, and since
States eggs are 30 liable to be summer
packed and consequently half spoiled,
Montana eggs are easily worth so cents a
dozen than the States product is worth
IS cents. 1t would therefore seem prob
ably that Montana poultry men will con-
tinue to realize 50 cents per dozen for
their eggs, Notwithstanding we have a
railroad, cheap and quick transportation,
etc. But if only IS cents can be realized
for eggs, the prospects Of the business is
good, for grain down to one cent per
pound, there is no use that it can be put
to that will prove more proftably than
feeding it to hens that will lay even IS
cent eggs. And 80 long as this state Of
affairs continue, it will pay farmers to give
double the attention to poultry that they
bave done heretofore"
