be very great in the end. ~

FINLAND'S hilSFORTUNES.

Unhappy Finland seems to be fol-
lowed by an unlucky star of destiny.
Once the home of proud and 'nde-
pendent people, she has gradually
fallen from her high estate until
now, instead of being called the
"granary of the midnight sum-" her
once proud people are compelled to
ask the world for aims.
In area Finland is almost the exact
size of Montana, being only about
one per cent smaller than this state,
but her population is about 100000,
which is quite dense from Montana's
view point; but according to Euro
pean standards, the country is but
sparsely settled. Finland first lost
her independence in the twelfth cen
fury to the Swedes. from whom the
sovereignty of the country was taken
in 1909 by Russia.
From an European standpoint, Rus
STA has governed the Firms with wis
dom and moderation. Swedish GUS
toms and the Swedish language had
become firmly rooted in Finland prior
to its conquest by Russia. Instead
of trying to tear these out. Russia
set about the peaceful conquest of
the country by cultlvating the native
language of Finland in opposition to
the Swedish language and customs,
and in the effort Russia was largely
successful The national Lutheran
church was also left undisturbed by
the Russians. No effort was made to
Russianize the province until 1872,
when the teaching of the Russian
language was made obligatory in the
schools of Finland. Education is uni
versal. almost everybody being at
least able to read and write. At one
time large quantities of wheat and
rye were exported from the country
but at present agriculture has large
" given way to cattle raising. AL
most One-third of Finland's area is
covered by lakes and swamps, and
owing 10 the excessive rainfall the
past two seasons, the crops have
been a total failure. Fully four-fifths
Of the population are suffering fol
food one-fourth of whom are actu
ally starving.
The province of Finland is almost
at the door Of St. Petersburg, which
is at the eastern end of the bay OF
Finland. It would seem that nationa
pride would impel Russia to reuevt
the starving peasants, but the onl,
help SHE has 50 far given them has
been a loan of three million rOubles
to be expended in railroad construc
ton. America has sent many shil
loads of provisions, and much more
must ba sent if the sturdy people
are to be saved from almost ute
annihilation.

Franchises Must Be Voted On.

One of the important laws passed
by the Eighth legislative assembly
is what is known as house bill No.
81, relating to the granting of fran
chises by cities. Hereafter any city
council which votes franchise to
any person or corporation must sub
nit the question to the vote Of the
bona tide fTeeholders of such city for
their approval or rejection. The i'm
portant sections of the law on this
point are as follows:
Section !, No franchise for any
purpose whatsoever, shall be granted
by any city or town, or by the
mayor or city council thereof, to any
person or persons, association or cor
poration. without first submitting the
application therefor to the resident
freeholders whose names shall ap
pear on the city or county tax roll
preceding such election.
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1903-03-27

Sec. 2. A notice of such election
must be published at least in one
daily newspaper, if there be one pub
lished in the city or town, and if not,
in some weekly newspaper of gen
eral circulation, at least once a week
for three consecutive weeks, and
such notices must be posted in three
public places in the city or town.
The notice must state the time and
place of holding the election, and the
characer of any such franchise ap-
piled for, and the valuable considera-
ton, if any there be, to be derived by
the city. At such election the bal
lots must contain the words: "For
granting FRANCHISE" Against grant
ing franchise" and in voting the cleo
tor must make a cross thus, "X'',
opposite the answer he intends to
vote for.
Such election must be conducted
and canvassed, and the returns made
in the same manner as other city or
town elections.
Sec. 8. If the majority of votes
cast at the election be "for granting
franchise" the mayor and city coun-
Gil must thereupon grant the same
by the passage and approval of a
proper ordinance.

ARID LAND COMMISSION.

One of the best laws passed at the
recent session of the legislature was
the act abolishng the old arid land
board. composed OF the secretary of
state the state examiner, and a state
engineer, appointed by the governor,
the latter Office has been filled by
the appointment of John w. Wade,
a civil engineer of Helena Mr.. Wade
is a man we'll qualified for the posi-
ton, being a firstclass civil engineer
and a man of unquestioned prObity
and integrity. Under his direction
it is believed the arid land commits
sion viii be able to accomplish some
thing in the direction of reclaiming
the arid lands of ,he state, as under
the Carey act the state is to give
title to all of the land up to mil
lion acres which is thus reclaimed.
The only thing accomplished by
the old commission was the construc,
ton of various systems of irrigation
on paper. and the drawing of pei
diem and expenses by members OF
the board. In one instance 100000
was realized from the sale of bonds
for the construction of an irrigatins
system in certain district. ant
more than two-thirds of the none,
was drawn for per diem and eX
penses within few months by mem
bers of the commission. Per diem
was drawn by some of the member,
for daily sessions, although no ses
sions were held for more than tw,
months at time. It seems strang
that the attorney general has take
no action to recover the money thu
stolen.
Besides Mr.. Wade. the new boar
consists of George M. Hays. secrt
tary of state. and Buck f1udnal
state examiner, both of whom serv
without extra compensation.
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1903-03-27

The proposition to call an extra
session of the legislature for the pur-
pose of making an appropriation for
the ST. Louis exposition, is meeting
with some favor in the press of the
state, with the proviso that the mem
bers serve without compensation.
This they would no doubt be willing
to do but in view of the fact that
the appropriations already made ex-
coed the probable revenues of the
state for the next two years, the ex-
ira session would be useless unless
some method is to be provided for
raising additional revenue.
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1903-03-27

The late session of the legislature
managed to spend about $4,000 for
running expenses, as against $62 1000
for the expenses of the previous ses-
sion. AS each body contained the
same number of members and was
in session the same length of time,
ii is not very clear as to why the last
session should nave been so expen-
sive, especially in view Of the
fact that great promises of economy
were made by the party in power.
The people of the state, however,
would not begrudge the increased
cost if the lawmakers had only done
something to equalize taxes, and to
put some check on the corporations
that now control the state. AS mat
tiers now stand. the farmers and
small producers of the state pay Is
per cent of the taxes, while the cor
porations that own Is per cent of
the wealth pay but 25 per cent of the
taxes

Editor Bee: | have read your able

self unable to agree with you on your
strongest point. Your main objec-
ton seems to be the matter of de
tail After the era of cooperative

This will include the present great

clared themselves free from the En-
elish yoke of tyranny, they did not
waste words over matter of detail

iority rule. This being true, you will
conccde that to have socialism we
