VOTE FOR THIS AMENDMENT.
State Aid for the Building of Wagon
Roads.

An important measure will be sub
mitted to the people of this State for
the approval in the next election in
the way of an amendment to the con-
stitution. The amendment provides
that city property shall be taxed to as
sist in building good country roads
and is exp lained in the following
words taken from a circular which
has been forwarded to this paper:
The constitution of this State re-
quires that all property in this State
shall pay taxes equally according to its
cash value. This is familiar princi-
pal of taxation among the farmers, for
we frequently hear them compare the
amount of taxes they are required to
pay with the amount their neighbors
pay, and if farmer learns that
neighbor is not required to pay as
much tax on farm equal in value to
his own, he very properly makes q
kick about it. But while this simple
comparison is of frequent occurrence,
some other comparisons equally i'm
portant are not made.
The tax-paying property of Mime
sofa, like most States, consists chiefly
of farm and city property. The ex-
act ratio of value between the two is
not known, but more than one-half of
the taxable property in Minnesota is
in the cities and villages, with a con-
tinuous tendency, as the State grows
older, to increase the value of city
property as compared with the value
of farm property. So great is this
tendency throughout the United
States generally, that in some of the
eastern States where large cities have
grown up, the ratio of taxes paid by
the farmers to that paid by the own
ers of city property is very small in
deed. In New York State, for in
stance, the farmers pay but one
seventh of the State taxes. The bear
ing which this question has upon tho
question of State aid for building
county wagon roads is very apparent,
for if the farmers are required to paw
taxes on their proportionally very
small amount of property to improve
the long stretches of country roads,
while the city people pay only enough
taxes on their great wealth to improve
the roads within the city limits, it will
be necessary that the road taxes levied
upon the farm property shall be very
much heavier in proportion to the val
ue of that property than the road tax
es upon city property, and the princi-
pie of equal taxation required by our
constitution will be violated.
When it was proposed to levy a tnx
on all the property in the State for
building country wagon roads, it was
found that the constitution of this
State forbids the State from raising
money by taxation for building wag-
on roads. It seems rather strange
that the constitution should in one
place say that taxes should be equal,
and in another place have provision
that makes it impossible to improve
country roads without unequal taxa
ton. So an amendment to the con-
stitution was proposed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature in q bill intro
duced by Douglass of Clay county,
which became chapter 1873 of the laws
of 1897.

try the case fairly and impartiaily on
the law and the evidence and he was
passed by the state. In reply to a ques-
ton by Mr.. Clinton the juror said he
was opposed to the plea of insanity as a
defense.
You believe that an insane person is
responsible for crime?'
Il believe that all criminals are more
or less insane" replied the juror.
As to being legally responsible for
crime, Mr.. Hill said he would take his
law on that point from the court and be
governed accordingly in returning his
verdict. The judge questioned the juror
and suggested that there were eminent
authorities who held that all persons
We're at some time in their lives more
or less insane, land l am half way
afraid of that myself" said the Judge
After questioning Mr. Hill further as to
his theories on the defense of insanity
the court sustained the challenge and
Mr.. Hill was excused.
Peter Doble said lie had an opinion
that could not be changed, so did f. NJ.
Grady. Hannibal Bergman, w. F.. Es-
lick. Thomas Triple, John w. Barrett
and S. w. Graves and all were excused
John Rinaldo said he had never read
about the case and knew nothing about
1t, but the fact that the defendant was
woman would influence his verdict.
Mr.. Stapleton challenged the juror. and
the court asked Rinaldo IL he would dis
regard his oath as a juror, if sworn to
try the case, and allow his sympathy
for woman to sway him.. Upon his
answering that he would obey his oath
the court overruled the challenge. The
juror afterwards stated that he was not
sufficiently familiar with the English
language to understand all that the wit
nesses would say and he was excused.
Antoine Stauser was excused because
he could not bring In a verdict against
woman. William B. Lamphier had an
opinion and was excused. G. W. Story
was called and passed and the defense
waived its fifth and sixth challenges.
The state exercised its fourth and ex-
cused Ed Mahoney. The next man called
was A. E. Jones, who said he had an
opinion but could try the case fairly and
lmpartially. The defense, however chal-
ienged him peremptorily. and Morgan
Griffith took his place, but was imme-
diately excused because he had an opin-
ion j. p. Grant was examined and
passed and the defense waived its eighth
challenge. The state also waived its
fifth and last and the jury, as follows,
was sworn to try the case: T. j. ThuH,
James Davidson, Frank Ambrose, Will
lam Forrest, A. o. Goodland, William
Nankivel, Harry Northey, J. Sheehan,
H. c. Holland, 4. B. Elliott, G. w. Story
and j. p. Grant.
After the completion of the jury court
adjourned for the day and the intro
duction of testimony will begin this
morning.

A number of trial jurors of Judge

James Byrne and Tim Murphy, called
at the Standard Office yesterday to give
their side of the case in regard to
drawing pay as jurors when court is
not in session.
As rule" said their spokesman,
we have given up good jobs because
we We're summoned to serve on this
jury. Some of us had jobs at $3.50 per
day which we had to resign and may
not get them back The best we can
get as jurors is SO per day, and none
of us got less than $3.50 before we were
summoned. So If We get our So each
day we are losers, and IL we lose days
as jurors we get nothing at ALL II we
were business men II would be differ
ent, for we would all have our business
gong along. But we are all working
men and have families to support and
cannot afford to lose time. We would
rather be discharged from jury service
at once and go back to jobs which pay
us better But if Silver Bow county
takes US from our regular occupations
to do jury service, they should certain
ly pay us. Besides, number of us
live miles from the city. some of us as
far as 30 and 35 miles, and the 81 a day
is little enough"

Omene, the Oriental dancer who was

whipped man named Williams, who
Tor four years has been her manager,
IN the Arlington restaurant late last
night 1t seems from all that could
be learned of the affair to-day that
Williams had stated in a public place

}. X. Wilson, who is Omene's partner
in the variety theater Wilson heard
of this and questioned Omene about il.
She demanded that Wilson prove that
Williams had said such a thing Will
son did so to her satisfaction, and last
night she invited Williams to dinner
at the restaurant. When he got there
she gave him severe tongue lashing
and wound up by sashing him with
Mexican whip. Williams Is not to be
found to-day
Williams called at the Times office
this afternoon and said there were five
against one and that while Omene
struck him few times with a small
whip on the shoulders, that his fight
was with Wilson, man very much
larger than him. He says that he
struck Wilson several times, skinning
his face, and that he was doing well
until Wilson finally got hold of him,
when the fight proved unequal, owing
to Wilson's great strength
