Certainly not. Tie motive il purely
selfish one. The aim is to cripple
the cattle industry and drive investors
ont OF the business. by reducing the
range supply their own beef cattle
would appreciate in value and yield
them n larger profit than they are now
receiving. We can see no other bene-
fits to be derived, as it would yield the
government but precious little revenue
after the cost of collecting the tax was
deducted. And the government is not
suffering for revenue. Ii supply and
demand regulate the price to the con
sumner, the government would he help
ing one class to the detriment and
hardship OF another the few as
against the many.
Cattlemen 10 not deter migration,
nor does grazing injure the public do
main. Most OF the cattle in Montana
are feeding on lands that will never be
used for any other purpose. The ex-
ceptions are the cattle of ranchmen
and small owners who are simply en-
Toying the privileges granted the Mis-
sissippi valley farmer when that region
was sparcely settled. This class could
hardly stand the tax.
Will the government step in and
say. "I.et the grass grow and go to
seed and rot, or burn, and put it to no
use unless you can pay tax for the
privilege of using it ?" Cattlemen are
heavy taxpayers now, and have done
more to maintain the solvent cOnd-
tion of Montana than any other single
industry. Yet there are many cat tie
men who would be willing to quit the
business with their original Investment
converted into cash. The small hold
ers OF the states. after years of expe-
rience, with the best blooded stock.
with the hest OF feed for fattening at
all seasons OF the year, with u local
market and u short haul to large
markets. should be able to compete
with western raneemen. without gov
ernment interference.
But the demagoeue is abroad in the
land with his quack remedies for inn
aginary evils, and Iowa has more per
capita than any other state in the
Union. The bill will hardly run the
gantlet. Congressman Carter is pre-
pairing to fight the bill in the house,
and will receive able assistance. We
hardly believe the president would
sign the bill. lie and his son Russell
B. have had little experience in The
cattle business-an experience that
was equal to that of the singed cat
they want no more. They know how
easy capital will vanish in the bu-i-
ness and what risks are being taken.
The cattlemen OF Custercounty have
issued "A protest against the measure
and the Helena board OF trade has
taken similar action. Every county
in Montana should send II protest to
Washington.

ANNUAL srArEMENr.

The annual statement of receipts
and expenditures OF Fergus county
for the fiscal year ending March LIST
1890. appears on first page of this
issue. BY careful perusal it will be
seen that the total revenue OF the
county, from all sources other than
school monies, aggregates S73,374.75.
OF this sum $46,91l.O5 has been ex-
pended to defray county expenses,
including the purchase made from
ChOteau county; 81 7,6S3.OI settles the
states claim tor state purposes. while
$3,325.5l represents the stock and
sheep indemnity and inspector and
detective funds.
The cash balances OF the various
county funds aggregate Sll OBS .36,
$7,7s4.20 Of which belongs to the
poor fund and cannot be used for
other purposes.
The total indebtedness of the county,
less cash and warrants cancelled by
limitation, is SIS, ,295.:,O, an increase
over last years debt of 80 ,265,95.
This would, indeed, Ice an excellent
showing were it not for the fact that
the present rate OF taxation is oxorbi-
family high, and unless measures are
adopted to remedy this evil the future
prosperity OF the county will he
ieOparslized.

Cough Remedy is better than any other.
We will tell you. When this remedy is
taken as directed, as so"n as cold has
been contracted. and before it has become

effect of the cold and greatly lessen its Sc

Owners OF wool regard with solicitude
the apparent weakness of prices.
Efforts to sell do not result in u very
large movement of wool, and this
state OF affairs in the face of an ap-
preaching clip is usually accompanied
BY falling prices. The hope for an
improved demand and higher prices is
now based on the belief that tariff

THE CATTLE TAX BILL.

Some weeks ago we called attention
to the fact that farmers in some of the
Western states were agitating the
proposition that the government
should impose n tax OF one dollar per
head on all stock grazing upon the
public domain. A bill of this charac-
ter has been introduced by Congress
man Sweeney OF Iowa, and Is now
before the committee ON agriculture,
in the house. The bill provides that
leach head OF stock grazing upon the

There seems to be lack of interest or

with trees and shrubbery IN a few
years il ArbOr Day was strictly OBJ
served, and care and patience given to
cultivation. At present it is struggle
for existence and little thought is
given to the aesthetic or the luxuries

WHY NOT BOND THE COUNTY,

With every advantage that nature

about 600 inhabitants, while the
assessed valuation did not exceed a
half million of dollars. In six years
its population has increased to nearly
or quite 5000, with an assessed valua-
tlon approximatins S3,OOo,00O. This
growth is due entirely to he natural
advantages offered by the county for

Considering the extent of our re-

truly assert that financially this
county is in better condition than
any other in the state. Our indebted

healthy and thriving condition at this

in part be due to recuperation from
the heavy stock losses OF the winter

the reduction OF taxation, as ASSESS
