A PRESSURE To SELL.

The Tendency In the Stock Market Today Wa
to Decline.
New YORK. May a-The stock market opened
this morning with a moderate volume OF bust
ness. but a continuation Of the pressure to sell,
and first prices as compared with last nights
closing figures were small fractions lower in
almost all cases. The only exceptions Of note
were Burlington, Rock Island and Wheeling and
Lake Erie.
Weakness marked early dealings and further
fractional losses we're sustained, though Mis-
souri,, Pacific, Atchison and few others refused
to 60 below the opening prices. The activity
ceased with the withdrawal Of the pressure to
sell, and dullness. accompanied by .
partial recovery, followed. Tho Auctun-
lions throughout were slight. and outside Of
the large trading in st. Paul, Missouri, Pacific
aud Atchison the dealings were devoid OF feat
ure. The late dealings were marked BY q re.
turn Of the early weakness, and at IL o'clock
the market was quiet, but heavy to weak, at
small fractions below the opening figures.

PROSPECTS FOR A FIGHT.

BlackfOot News.
The U. P. railway company sent
one Of its officials to Blackfoot,
Wednesday, and paid its taxes
$47, 1S4.45 as per assessment of
$4,000 per mile, made by the state
board OF equalization. This COM
pany has never shown any dispo-
sition to resist the payment of what
it conceived to be its legal taxes.
All the trouble and talk that has
grown out of the assessment of the
road has come from a misundsr
standing Of duties in the matter of
assessment by the state board of
equalization, the county commits
sioners and county assessor. The
county assessor as he interpreted
the law assessed the company
$4,000 per mile on the road, etc,
the state board of equalization
lowered this to $4,000. The

The senators from the new states
profess themselves as more than
satisfied with the recognition given
them by the republican caucus in
the assignment Of the committees
The result Of the work of the steer.
ing committee has been the giving
to the west and the new states
positions on prominent committees
never before accorded to senators
except those Of long service. More
important, however, is the fact that,
in the words of one western senator.
it places the west in position to
occupy within a few years the
chairmanships of the largest and
most prominent committees in the
senate, which formulate and divert
legislation from matters pertaining
particularly to the west. The

FINANCIAL LIGHT.
W. d. Arnett Follows up His Article
on Money.

Ed. TR1BuNE-In continuation
OF my article on money, the blood
OF nations, wish to call the atten.
ton of your readers to some of the
financial lights potent to all.
Look at France. In the last
twenty years she paid her vast
indemnity to Prussia and now has
gold and silver to spare. What
enabled her to do this? Simply
the issue of paper money in quaint
ties sufficient for people to do busi-
ness with and she has a financial
policy of her own. The light shone
In some of our colonies before 1915
by the issue and use of paper
money. When Massachusetts, issued
$3.50 in paper money her prosperity
was great. The English historian,
Burke, said her prosperity was
phenomenal. History shows plenty
Of light on finance. We had a
short flash of financial light in
1865, when greenbacks were in cir
culation, sixty million dollars of
which was fiat money full, and this
sixty million kept close company
with gold, the rest was half money,
But the emissaries of the cutie.
fish gathered up these greenbacks
and turned them into the bond
trough and the big hogs got the
slop. A little hog has no right,
that the big hog is bound to respect.
The little hogs were doing we'll in
1865 and fattening finely, but the
big hogs soon got possession of the
financial trough and the light went
out. But the big hogs put in the
financial trough the shadow of
money, in form of national bank
notes. National bank notes are
not money for they lack the legal
'ender fiat of the United States.
Chief of all cares in q nation is !
nance, for upon it depends the !

ern senators is something unpre.
cedented. Agriculture, mines and
mining, public lands and irrigation
are all controlled and headed by
western senators, while upon the
other great committees, which have
heretofore been monopolized by
eastern men, the west receives at
least its proportion of positions.
This result was not however &C.
complished without a bold declara-
ton by the western senators at the
beginning of the session that the
interests of their constituents must
be protected in this manner, and
that they were prepared to make
an open fight for what they be-
lieved was due their section. It is
proper to state Senator Caroy, who
represented the newer states on the
steering committee, used every
effort to secure this end and that a
large portion of the result is due to
this work.
The western senators are hopeful
of action by congress on the matter
of irrigation. They are without ex.
ception in favor of some law which
will cede to the states the states
