Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1894-04-26
THE GILT EDGE FJAscO.

The failure to reach an agreement in
Gilt Edge affairs is u matter of regret
rs the settlement Of Indebtedness and
the operating of the plant would have
helped out the local financial situation
to a considerable extent. That a set
element was not reached is entirely
due to the obstinacy and trickery of X.
A. Ammon. Everyone familiar with
the facts knows that the creditors of
the company were willing to submit to
any proposition that would secure their
claims, as they were anxious to see
work resumed at Gilt Edge. The fact
that Mr.. Collins, president of the com
pany, conceded the fairness of the
propositions Of Mr.. War; is sufficient.
But Mr.. Ammon, we are informed, had
stated thai he would get even with
Lewistown merchants, and there is
little probability hat he had any in
tention Of doing what was honorable
with local creditors. Though devoid
of all honor the fellow is shrewd enough
to know that he could not carry on
operations a single day without paying
the miners and laboring men their just
dues. But he was going to fix things
to his own liking as regards other debts.
Either by controlling a majority OF
stock or some other means, Ammon
has the whole say as to the affairs OF
the company and until he is willing to
concede to a fair proposition there Is
little prospect of renewal of operations
at Gilt Edge.
Having witnessed the collapse and
failure of the Collar company at Maiden
in 1893, when sawmill men, merchants
miners and laborers were beaten Out
of their money by foreign stockholders,
we have but little faith in II better ter.
mination in this instance. 1t should
be n lesson to all of our citizens 1t is
folly to attempt mining operations
without ample capital to meet every
bill as fast as incurred. If we are go.
ing to extend credit why not give it to
the prospector o to home enterprises!
We need money to develop our mines
not wind, and men who haven't got
the cash to meet their obligation.
should be invited to stay away.

valuation on all property by counties.
Fergus county ranks seventh, the
counties which exceed us being Lewis

Gallatin and Missoula. The tax levy
throughout the state is also given. We
find the average levy to be 16 1-5 mills,
so that Fergus county taxpayers are

of the state. Or page 253 you will find
the Indebtedness of the several counties

A rule for counting a quorum has
been adopted by the house by a vote
of PIP to AZ, the Republicans voting
solidly for it,. Thus has Thomas b.
Reed been endorsed by his political
enemies and it is doubtful whether the
word "czar will again be heard under
the dome of the capitol. Such a rule
is also needed in the senate. There
may be times when good ends can be
accomplished by filibustering but they
are very rare. The idea that a man
can occupy his seat and at the same
time be absent so far as his participa-
ton il legislation is concerned, is ride
ulous, and a proposition that legislators
in "A civilized nation should be ashamed
to entertain. While the senate does
not limit debate as a matter of our
tesy and time-honored custom, the
rapid growth in membership and the
pressure of party interests is making 1t
.apparent that some measures must be
taken to prevent the obstruction OF
legislation. Both houses are becoming
unmanageable owing to the increase in
representation and the people demand
that business methods be adopted for
the purpose of securing legislation.
While the action OF the house is a VIC
tory for Reed and the Republicans it is
also IL step that will prove n benefit to
all of the people Of this country.
