A VITAL

II Marcus DAILY can prevent the elec-
ton of a United States senator, stop
the wheels of legislation and is allowed
to purchase the capital of the state, is
it not probable that he will attempt to
control all future legislation? And is
there any doubt as to the nature of
that legislation Will it not be such
as the Anaconda company, q foreign
corporation, will dictate and need in
their future operations in this state.
An attempt will be made to eliminate
mining companies from taxation, or
reduce such taxes to practically moth
ing, while the farmer and stock raiser
will be made to bear the brunt of the
burden.
Mr.. Days utter disregard for every
interest in Montana save his own
makes it certain that he would manip.
ulate legislation in favor of his corpora
ton. With our stockmen and farmers
suffering as they do now for q liberia
and just animal bounty law, is there
any prospect of lettering their condi
ton by placing the state capital in the
hands of Marcus DAILY and his foreign
corporation? This is a matter that no
only cer the farmers and stool
~raisers, but all of the people dependen
upon these industries for prosperity

FOUND OUT WHO ALLEN Is.

The Anaconda STANDARD OF the 21st
had sandwiched between reading
matter OF every column the inquiry,
'Who is Allen" While it was rea-
sonable to presume he was the son OF
old man Allen, in a letter to the
Sta ldard he leaves no doubt on that
point, while he proves he is more than
that From his letter Mr.. Allen will
give the impartial reader to under
stand that he does not wear the DAILY
collar, that he is a free and indepen-
dent American citizen who cannot be
bribed or forced and will not tolerate
such methods among his employees.
Mr.. Allen is superintendent Of the
Butte & Boston Mining company at
Butte and a few days since had a no.
tice posted up which read: "Any per-
son in the employ of the undersigned
found electioneering for Anaconda for
the capital will be discharged" This
brought out the Standards in

Allen replies in a letter giving his rea
sons for posting the notice:

impress our readers as the fairest and
best presentation of the question yet

ment and common sense of every voter
in Montana who cares for the future

n~ificsnt in two respects, it clearly shows
the attitude of W. A. Clark and dis
poses Of the claim that Anaconda has a

DON'T BE DECEIVED.

The Republicans OF Fergus County
have held their convention and placed
an exceptionally strong ticket in the
field. That convention was conducted
from start to finish with the utmost
fairness. Even the most critical OF
the opposition could find nothing in
its proceedings to use against the party
during the campaign. All OF the can
didates before the convention could
not be successful. That was impos-
sible. Those who failed should have
manhood and party loyalty enough
to abide by the result. The Republi-
any of its members a nomination or
election to Office, and men should not
measure their loyalty by their ability
to obtain n Men are selected
from its organization to serve the
people. No doubt mistakes are some
times made, but as to this we rather
abide by the decision of the many than
take the opinion of some individual
member, who imagines he has a griev-
ance because some one else polled
votes.
While the Republican convention
was eminently fair in every particular
there are a few who are sore and
threaten to bolt. So far the third
party movement has failed to make
much OF a catch from the Republican
ranks and are not likely to do SO.
But Republicans should not be misled
- to the scheme that is on foot. The

There has lately been placed in cir
culation among the foreign born citi-
zens of Lewlstown and surrounding
country a umo that there has been
organized in this town u branch of the
American Protective Association, the
aims and objects of which are well
known to readers Of the ARGUS. 1t is a
mystery how this report-which is false
in every particular and without foun-
dation-was originated; but there is
cause to believe that it has a political
significance and was started for the
purpose of its influence in the coming
election. There are few things that
WELD such power in politics with GER
tain classes as prejudice, and just now
this seems to be the battle axe i'm the
hands of some who have much to do
with the present campaign. In Butte,
Anaconda, Missoula and elsewhere the
A. p. A. argument is freely used among
the German Luthersns, the Catholics
and foreign born citizens to prejudice
them against Helena. The statements
are made that the A. P. A. is strong in
Montana and that the vote of the asso-
citation will be solid for Helena. 1t is
not known that there is a single branch
Of the order in the state of Montana,
though it is rumored that there are a
few members of the association in
Butte. Yet the argument goes, as
long as it can be used as a weapon in
the capital fight and carry the least
odor hat is offensive to our good citi.
zens among the foreign born, and will
in any way tend to prejudice them
against Helena. As to the charge thai
there has been started u branch Of the
association mere, the ARGUS is author
lied to deny it by the person whom
has accredited with organizing |
the alleged branch, and to further state
that he does not in any way approve of
the main features of the order.

SAYS the Anaconda Standard

Says the Anaconda Standard: "A
queer summer this has been sizing it
all up. In western Montana the rain.
fall has been abundant, and all the
crop conditions may be said to have
been excellent. In general the same
holds true in respect of all the section
west of the Rocky mountains, Eastern
Montana has not Jared so we'll as the
western part of the state in regards to
rainfall" OF course, in the eyes of
the Standard and the whole Ana
couda outfit, eastern Montana never
fares so well in any way as the western
part of the state. Yet even though the
Standard would have it understood
that eastern Montana is q barren tract,
fitted only for grazing purposes, and
that this section this year hasn't been
particularly favored by the rain god,
not in years has there been such boun-
tiful crops, nor has there been a season
in a decade of years hat there has
a greater rainfall, irrigation hard
ly being necessary. Yes, we agree with
the Standard that Montana is all
and the eastern portion of the
will continue to be all right, agri-
and otherwise, notwithstand-

As a maker and q breaker of prom
ises Marcus DAILY should receive first
prize. Two years ago to the people of
the Bitter Root valley and Missoula
assurance was given that within a year
the foot of B., A. 4 p. railroad whistles
would the completion of the
road to Missoula. About the same
time people of the Bitter Root were
given to understand that at Hamilton
would be built the largest copper re-
finery in the world. and Daly's agents
in Gallatin county were making con-
idents Of the farmers and with wise
looks would talk about the future great
ness of Three Forks when the big pro-
jccted refinery of the Anaconda COM
pany would be erected there and m
ployment given to hundreds of men.
So lar the only refinery of the Ana
conda company remains at Anaconda,
but DAILY is just rs prolific of promises
as ever, and has placed Great Falls on
his list of towns which are to be favored
by the building of his long projected
refinery plants. The number of rail-
roads he has on hand to build are fully
as great as two years ago; and now
the armer of the Flathead valley are
promised a trunk line to Anaconda.
When Daily gets done building railroads
all over tbs western part of the state,
and has his three OF four refineries in
operation in different towns, and the
state so divided that there will be u
capital at Great Falls, one each at
Bozeman, Big Timber and Billings,
perhaps he will take u back seal and
give some other ambitious and enter
prising protector a chance.

DEMOCRATIC

That we especially pledge our npminees
for commissioners to SO cond the Office
as to avoid the necessity of a repetition Of
a 22 mill tax.
The above is taken from the plat
form adopted at the recent Demo-
cratic convention. Its tenor is en-
tirely misleading as the figures easily
prove. In the first place the tax levy
is not % mills except upon those own
ing horses or cattle assessed at $500
or more. A levy OF IL mills is made
on such owners OF stock for the pur-
pose OF maintaining n system OF de-
lection and indemnity fund for the
exclusive advantage OF stock N
The county funds derive no income
from this whatever, and how many
stock owners are there who will not
gladly pay seventy-tive cents on each
$500 worth OF stock in order to Sc
cure "A guard over their interests and
indemnity in ease OF loss2
The levy this year is 2Ob mills as
compared with II mills last year, an
increase OF -. mills. The assessment
has been so reduced that in many
cases taxpayers will contribute less to
the county's expenses this year, and
in few cases more than they did last
year. Last year the total assessment
was So, 567, 911, this year SO .9S9, 6S7,
a decrease of 81, 57s,224. A levy of
II mills on assessment last year
should have realized S94 ,654, while a
levy OF 2Ols mills on this years assess
ment should realize but $S1, 7SS, dis
playing a contemplated retrenchment
in affairs OF $l2, $3.50.
But individual cases display best
the fallacy of the Democratic implica-
ton. A resident OF Lewistown last
year was assessed on his town lots
and improvements S2,3s5, paying a
tax Of S4O.54; this year the same
property is assessed at 81 ,79O and
the owner will pay a tax of $1,000,
or adecrease of $685.. Another prop
erty holder in Lewistown was last
year assessed at 81 OTIS, his tax being
S1S.21, and is this year assessed at
SS76, his tax being $l7.93. Another
at Maiden was assessed last year at
S1,34O, this year at $633, his tax be-
ing S22.7S last year and $12.97 this.
Another at Cottonwood paid taxes
to the amount OF $23.SS last year
and OF the same property will this
year be taxed S16.l5. Another at
Philbrook was taxed last year$1S.S7,
this year $S.7l. A ranchman on Nc
Donald creek was last year assessed
at S2,716 and this year at $1,O9O,
his taxes being respectively $46.47
and S22.34, a decrease of over half
Notwithstanding the increase in tax
levy. A stockgrower on Spring creek
will this year be asked to pay 1898
less than last year.
All OF the comparisons are on the
saine property each year and are
taken promiscuously from the assess
ment book. Scores of the same could
be cited but enough is shown to prove
that the taxes this year will be as
light ii not lighter than last year and
of an increase in the county's
a decrease will be effected.
