islature will pass the bill introduced
by Senator Johnson regarding the
qualifications of voters. By its en-
actment much of the scandal that has
in the past attached to elections will
be avoided and there will be fewer
complaints of colonization, and the
majority of the legal electors of a
county will be permitted to express
their preferences, instead of finding
themselves thwarted in this respect
by the Vaccinations Of evil disposed
and wicked men. Had a law of the
kind he asks to have enacted been in
force last fall there would not have
existed the conditions that obtained

What the effect may be in other
places has not yet developed, but the
people of Great Falls have come to
the conclusion that when congress
passed the act taking the duty off
bituminous coal for the period of one
year it did little to help them toward
obtaining cheaper fuel from their
neighbors in Canada, who have it to
sell. The related duty on coal such
as is mined at Lethbridge and i'm
ported into the United States is 81
cents a ton. When the new law be-
came operative the Great Falls folks
naturally supposed that the company
ton in price by which they would get
the benefit of at least SO cents in the
way of a cut from the old price. In
this, however, they were disappointed.
The Gait Coal company, the concern
that works the Lethbridge mines, has
published a new schedule of prices by
which it reduces it's old rates 25 cents
a ton, retaining the other AZ cents
for itself. AS the company raised the
price of it's product IS cents a ton
when the effects of the anthracite
strike began to be felt over the coun-
try, it still receives SLIT a ton more
than it did when winter began.
After viewing the matter in it's
various phases the people of northern
Montana are wondering where they
are benefited to any appreciate ex-
tent by the beneficence of the general
government in it's efforts to help them.

order for a man to be entitled to vote
at any regular election he must, first,
be a citizen of the United States, a
resident of the state one year and
of the county in which he wishes to
vote at least ninety days prior to
the election. No undue exactions are
imposed upon voters, while the benefit
to communities in the way of conserv-
ing the purity of the ballot would be
almost inestimable. Experience has
demonstrated that the present law is
defective in regard to the require
ment Of residence SO far as the county
is concerned. Thirty days is too
short a time-it makes it too easy
for INSCRIPTIONS men to colonize
counties they have particular reasons
for wishing to carry, whereas, if the
time is extended to ninety days men
like those responsible for some of the
trouble made last year will think long
before they will undertake to flood
a county with the riffraff and sour
of the mining camps and larger COM
munities. There may be some oppo-
sition to the measure, but there
should be none, and if opposition de-
velops it should not be permitted to
prevail, it will come from politicians
and men who have plans and designs
for the future. The respectable, re-
sponsible people will be found on the
side of Senator Johnson.
