The French idea of greatness seems
TO lie in force, intrigue and falsehpod.
No doubt France has some grand
men, but they are not conspicuous in
the army, from present developments
n the Dreyfus case. Even the great
Napoleon was actuated d from
personal ambition than for the wei
fare of France. This reminds US of a
beautiful quotation from Ingrrsoll
recently appearing in print. 1t reads
as follows:
IL would have rather been a French
peasant and worn wood n shoes. |
would rather have lived i'm "A hut with
al vine growing over the D and the
grapes growing purple In the amor
ous kisses of the autumn sun L
would have rather been that poor
peasant with my loving wife by my
side, knitting Ms the day died out of
the sky-with my children upon my
knees and their arms about mel
would rather have been that man
and gone down to the ~tOngupless 81
leDce of the dreamless dust, than t.
have been that imperial impersona-
ton Of force and murder known IA

Slowly, but surely, the conspiracy

lie being unraveled at X 'nnes. Even
with a p~rejudiced court it does not
seem possible that anything but a
verdict of acquittal could result. NJ.
Labor, who was shot at the begin
ming Of the trial, is now conducting
the case for Dreyfus and making IL
warm for his enemies. Gen. Mercier

erty vanlshes any quicker under I'M
favorable conditions.
A vigorous protest Is to be made
against the action of the board In
the premises, as 1t is believed they
have transcribed their powers in
raising the assessment and gone con-
trary to a decision Of the supreme
court of the state which holds that
"the state DO rd Of equalization IL
without power to increase proper
~tiOnately the value OF property ! n
the several counties OF the state, and
thereby increase the aggregate total
The court also endorsed the action
taken under similar circumstances In
Colorado, in which the court of that
state held that ''the power to fix and
determine the valuation OF taxable
property Is lodged in the assessor
and the board Of county commits
sioners Of the several counties; and
when they have, under the law, per-
formed this dnty and exercised this
power, the SUI of the valuations 80
by them foun, must he taken as the
aggregate valuation Of all the prop
erty in the state, and Ia conclusive
and final as against the state board
OF equalization" The decision al
lows the state board to increase the
valuation of one county and decrease
the valuation of another, hut Ii has
no power to increase the sum OF all
the valuations of the several counties
OF the state.
TheGreat Falls Tribune, In a recent
editorial sho wing the injustice OF the
values fixed, closes an follows:
1.-THE sheep AMI stock men of the
state are not kickers. In good years
their business is n profitable one,
though they take enormous risks,
and they have always paid taxes on
"A pretty stiff valuation without
much kicking. But the state board
Of equalization seems to have laid it
ON without limit this time. There
will be a big protest, and there ought
to he a protest. 1t looks as though
they had been treated quite unfairly.
The state, no doubt, needs increased
revenue, hut 1t can be raised without
doing injustice to a class OF people
which are already carrying more
than their just proportion of the
burden Of taxation. A corporation
tax which would scarcely be felt
would raise all the needed revenue.
The last legislature should have
passed such a bill. The next legisla-
ture will doubtless attend to 1t, II the
people do their duty. Till that time
the state a get along without such
added revenues as would be derived
at the expense of the sheep and cattle
men, already carrying their full share
of the burden of taxation"
