just how it has used the money in
trusted to it, The following is the
resolution:
BE it resolved by the house of rep
resentatives, that the committee on
irrigation and water rights be AMI is
hereby empowered and directed to
thoroughly investigate and make
complete report to the house of all
the transactions of the arid land COM
mission. which said report shall show
the projects undertaken and the
amount of bonds issued for each
separate district and for other pur-
poses, the value received for such
bonds issued and persons to whom
said bonds were delivered, and the
count for all moneys appropriated for
and received by such commission or
any officer or member thereof ex-
pended, the name of the person from
whom received, the purpose for which
received and the disposition made of
all moneys appropriated or re-
ceived. the character and value of
the consideration therefor, and the
legal authority, if any, for obtaining
and expanding the same. And that
said committee inquire particularly
into, and report upon, the amount of
about 100000 received by David A.
Cory and Donald Bradford, members
OF said arid land commission, from
A. WOrmser, the purpose for which
said money was received and for
what expended, the legal authority
for such expenditures and the names
OF all persons to whom such amount
or any particular portion thereof was
paid out and the date of payment
And be it further resolved that said
committee be and is hereby author
lied to send for papers administer
oaths and employ an expert account
ant, if need be, to examine the books
and papers of such commission, such
expert accountant not to be paid
sum to exceed 5000"
There is a skeleton in the closet
of the commission said Everett, in
support of the resolution. THAT is
the purpose Of this measure. It seems
to me that the members of the house
act as though they were afraid to in
vestigate this matter. This resolu-
ton does not accuse members of the
commission of anything. They have
already been accused. We want to
find out on what basis the accusa-
tiOnS are made.
'The report of the commission for
which some members are asking
now" said Miller. will bring before
the public just what the members OF
the commission want published, and
nothing more. Those members who
are in favor of hearing this report
before any investigation are asking
for something which will throw no
light on the matter"
Hilger wanted to hear the commits
sions report before investigation. He
and Word both thought the investi-

Helena Feb. 8.-Grave accusations
against members of the arid land
commission resulted in an investiga-
ton being ordered by the house yes
terday. A charge that A. Wormser
paid 100000 to Donald Bradford and
u. A. Cory, members of the commits
sion, as personal indemnity to guar
antee his bond given to the commits
sion for the performance of his con-
tract to dig ditch in Sweet Grass
county, and that this amount was
misappopriated, was made on the
floor of the house during the debate
over resolution for investigation.
This resolution was introduced by
Everett of Choteau. The house passed
it unanimously. 1t recites the fact
that Wormser paid this money, and
instructs the irrigation and water
rights committee to find for what it
was expended. 1t also instructs that
committee to examine into the &C.
counts of the commission and find

sent to this procedure, however, on
the sole ground that no more long.
winded speeches are to be made on

Mr.. Kennedy agreed to this, and
the bill was recommitted.
Notice of intention to introduce the
following bills was given:
Murray-An act to provide for ad.

NAL school grounds in Dillon.
Notwithstanding for the install.

on the committee of apportionment
and representation instead Of Sena
tor Bremen, and that Senator Whip
pie be made chairman.
Senator Meyer addressed the sen.
ate on this proposed change, which
he considered unwarranted.

less than a display of high-handed
brutal force. If this is right and fair
you may as we'll go through the list

part Of the majority and the work is

pretty coarse, | must admit. You
may as well show your hand and be
done with it. | certainly hope there
lis a sufficient number of gentlemen
on the other side to vote down any
such brutal proposition.
"On this committee you already
have a majority of four to one. What
do you want? If there is one COM
mittee of this senate which should be
fair and nonpartisan it is this one
above all others. and I appeal to
you. gentlemen of the opposition, to
vote it down.
you cannot affort to resort to such
tactics, gentlemen. Your work is
very rank and coarse, and | appeal to
you in the name of justice to be fair.
These committees were arranged by
a committee of three at the begin
ming of the session. You had two
on that committee and we one. Now
you rescind the work of your own
members. Shame!
You have the power to do this,
but not the right"
Senator Hoffman said that the "old-
time democrats were complaining
of the unusual honors accorded re-
publicans by a democratic body and
said that the converse was not
known to history. The change was
made simply along good old demo-
cratic lines and lin accordance with
democratic theories"
Senator Bremen expressed sur
prise at the procedure.
There is certainly no occasion for
it," he said, because the committee
has had no meeting az yet. If am
persona non grata, will willingly re-
sign from the committee, but I do
hope that a republican will be select
ed in my stead. I want to do the
fair thing myself. so go ahead and
take me off. 1t is the duty. of the
majority to give the republicans re-
presentation on this committee. In
this case, you are certainly dealing
unfairly with us. AS for myself,
everyone knows where l stand-I
am looking out for the interests of
my party and always Will De; out
take me off if you will
Senators Hoffman and Cullen as
sured Senator Bremen that there
was nothing personal in the move
simply political move.
The question was then put and pre-
vailed by strict party vote, IL to 13,
Senator Mahon being paired with
Senator Bourne.
The senate then, upon motion Of
Senator Meyer, took recess.

THE CAUSE OF HUMANITY.
Frank Putnam, in the National Magazine.

Frank Putnam in the Ma tona Magazine.
President Eliot, OF Harvard, urges the desir-
ability for the laborer, of permanent employ
ruling class, the wealthy, who control natural
monopoles aud industrial avenues, should CO.
operate with their laborers to secure to the
latter this permanency of employment and this
fixed environment. The experience Of the
black men of the Southern states of this Union
afforded good example of the only kind of
permanent employment and fixed environment
that the ruling classes, considered as whcle,
rather than in their honorable exceptions, have
ever given their laborers.
Labor has no hope of permanent employ
ment until Labor becomes the owner of the
industry IN which il is employed. Labor can
have permanent employment when Labor owns,
and through its servant, the government, di-
rects, the industry in which Labor is employed.
Labor can have the entire fruits of its product,
minus only the small and diminishing percent
age chargable to administration, when, and
only when, Labor acquires sufficient intelligence
to assume ownership of the industries in which
it is employed. The President Eliots and other
comfortable representatives of the Established
Order will never help Labor to bring in the
new order. Labor must work out te own sal
vation. 1t must educate, agitate and fight.
The cause of Labor is the cause, not of class,
but of humanity.
Labor must insist upon education for its chill
dren. 1t must not consent when Wealth bids
them pass by the public schools to toll on culm
banks and in cotton mills. Labor must Insist
upon reserving some portion of its waking
hours for other than bread -and-b butter toll; for
rest, for study, for thought. Labor must eman-
cipate Woman the larger the number of free
ballots in democracy, the smaller the posi-
bility that Wealth may subvert popular liber-
ties. Labor must become more than battle
for self-preservation: it must become, is be-
coming, an expression of brotherhood, Of love;

COUNT ToLsToI, in an article published in
the New York Independent, makes the declar-
alton that the modern or impersona form of
slavery exists "wherever man is exempt from
the work necessary to supply his needs
either directly or indirectly, or in exchange for
anothers work; wherever man is idle because
others dc his work, not out of love, but under
the compulsion of claim he has upon their
labor; and wherever, as in all European socie-
ties, thete a-e those who appropriate the toll of
millions of their fellow men, there is slavery
on frightful scale" Tolstoi has an almost
vicious, fanatical hatred of money. He con-
siders it the curse of modern man-his most
cruel enemy and tyrant. The aims and results
of money are the same-the exempting of some
from vha. deep thinker of the people has
justly called the primeval law, from what he
(Tostoi) calls the natural law of liie-tbe law
of personal labor in payment for the satisfaction
of personal needs. Men like 1'olstoi
are necessary and essential in the secular order
OF things, even admitting that some of their
theories have decidedly toxical effect upon
the brars of certain cless of hystercal peo.
