MERELY AN ERROR.
Will Not Invalidate the Submission
of an Amendment.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. Oct 3o.-It having
been discovered that the amendment to
the constitution empowering the Legisla-
ture to regulate the relations be-
tween corporations and their employees
had not been published until August
16, whereas the statute provides that the
publication shall be at least three months
preceding an election for members of the
General Assembly. Assistant Attorney
General Newell was asked for an opinion
as to whether this would invalidate the
amendment.
Newell said he was of tue opinion that
the mere omission by the Secretary of
State to make publication of such amend
ment at least three months before election,
as required by the Revised Statutes. could
not render its submission invalid. Cover
nor Altgeld and several prominent lawyers
here held similar opinion.

Another Able Letter From Yale in Which

YALE. Mont, Dec. 25th. 1898.
DEAR ARGUS: In the Democrat of
the 14th inst. appears another of
those sickening TRADES on the Repub-
licaan portion of the w~oolgrowers of
Fergus county, which are becoming so
frequent OF late. When the writer of
the Democrat illusions speaks of "lies"
and "premeditated insult to those en-
gagged in the sheep industry" he can
do nc better than point to his own
production for an example.
When the editor of the Democrat
will come out with the genuine utter
ances of Democratic woolgrowers who
are so generally in favor of carrying
out the provisions of the Democratic
NATIONAL PLATFORM" we will accept
the statement as true; not before.
There are Republican woolgrowers
who are not ashamed to express their
sentiments through the public press.
But we have scanned the columns of
the Democrat in vain to find support
for the falsehoods published in that
paper, from practical, interested wool
growers.
True, we have had free government
ranges, and free timber on the noun
taips, too, so far as that isconcerned;

mortgagor pay the tax, invest his
money in some other way or steer
clear of states having such a law on its
statute books.
A goodly portion of the mortgages
advertised are bank mortgages and as
all banks are compelled to pay taxes
on their capital stock, it is manifestly
unjust to compel them to pay taxes
again upon mortgages held by them.
If the law was enforced it would only
result in greater hardship TO the poor
man who is in need of money.
Every man will concede that the ex-
hibit of mortgages does the county an
injustice and misrepresents the actual
situation. 1t surely will not make il
easier to C money.
No fault can rest with the assessor OF
county treasurer. They simply obey
the provisions of the law as it relates
to their duties.
We believe the law should be re
pealed in the interest of every citizens
of the state.
