one introduced. Wiedeman did vote
for the last measure introduced, but
it was a foregone conclusion this bill
would not carry Is that so? From
our best information it did carry and
has been signed by the governor. 1t
is strictly a Republican measure and
yet it went through the house with
out opposition and had smooth sailing
in the senate. The first bill introduced
was a dangerous one, as 1t left TWEEN
ty-six counties lii the state entirely
at the mercy of one pUpulous county
if certain interests felt disposed to re-
sort to the measure after it's adoption
The bill that was passed seems to
meet the views of reasonable and con
servative men of all parties. O1
course, the wish was father to the
thought that there would be no ini
tiative and referendum and primary
election legislation during the ses
sion. No Democratic politician OF
newspaper wanted the Republicans
t. get the credit fer such laws. And
like our contempol airy they felt sure
none of the bills would pass. The
Republican party has kept its pledges
notwithstanding the obstacles thrown
in the way by the opposition, and the
members from Fergus have laboret
hard and loyalty TO that end.
Fergus County argus., 1905-03-08
Initiative AND REFERENDUM

After the framing of number OF
bills and the holding of many confer
ences and indulging in long and some
times heated debates over an initia-
tive and referendum bill the legisla-
ture settled down to business and ac-
cepted the Leiper bill and it went
through both houses like water through
seive. The governor has signed the
bill and the proposition of making d.
rect legislation one of the provisions
of the state constitution will be up
general election. In brief the bill
provides that the initiative power shall
lie in the hands of eight per cent of
the voters of two-fifths of the cOun-
| ties and that the referendum right
may be exercised by five per cent of
the voters of at least eleven counties
| in the state.
The requirements as to the per
cent of the voters of the counties

amendment from the abuses which
might have occurred under one or the
other bills offered in the legislature.
There is little doubt but that the
voters will approve the measure and
it remains to be determined how ben.
eficial it will prove to be in the fu.
ture of the state. Possibly the very
fact that power exists under the con.
stitution directly may serve as a de.
terrent and make legislators cautious
It is quite likely that neither the in
itiative nor the referendum will often
be invoked in this state to protect
the peoples interests.

THE DIXON HOMESTEAD BILL.

Representative Dixon, who has
sought to gain the views of his con-
stituents in Montana relative to the
enlarged homestead bill which he has
offered in the house, but has not press
ed for passage, recently requested an
expression of sentiment by the Ninth
legislative assembly. In accordance
Herewith the following resolution
was adopted:
Whereas, The Hon. Joseph NJ. Dix
on has introduced in the house of
representatives of the United States
bill for an act to allow settlers to
make homestead entry on $40 acres
Of land, when such land is arid and
not susceptible of irrigation, and
Whereas, The Hon. Joseph M. Dix
on has asked for an expression of the
sentiment of the Ninth Legislative as.
sembly of the state of Montana in re.
gard to said bill; and,
Whereas, AS we believe that such
measure would result in the grazing
lands of the state of Montana being
acquired by the owners of large live
stock interests to the detriment of
the great majority of the farmers of
Montana. who are owners Of small
bands of sheep and cattle and whose
livelihood depend upon having access
to the free public range; and,
Whereas, we do not believe any
considerable number of bona fide
homestead settlers would take advan'
tage of such law;
Therefore, Be it resolved, That We
your memoralists, of the Ninth legis'
lative assembly of the state Of Mon
tana, earnestly pray and petition the
congress of the United States to de
feat such legislation, and not TO enact
any legislation which will increase the
amount of land that may be included
in homestead entry; and,
"Be it further resolved, That the
secretary of the state be and he is
hereby instructed to forthwith trans
nit copies of this memorial, properly
authenticated, to our senators and rep
resentative in congress from the state
| of Montana"
Fergus County argus., 1905-03-08

Our local contemporaly makes the
following unwarranted statement il
speaking of the last legislative ses
sion: Inactivity and iniquity, greed
and graft, connivance and corruption
have been the routine work of the
Ninth Montana legislature" Wher
one thinks of every Democratic legis
lature that has assembled since Mon
tana became a state the above sounds
quite humorous. 1t is conceded on ev
cry hand that during the senatorial
contest there was not even sus
picion of bribery or corruption, mol
was there any i'll feeling engendered
And SO it has been through the leg
islative session, which closed with {
love feast, in which members of al
parties took an active part.

Adrian c. Arson, Familiarity known
as "Ord Ance," the king of batters and

PRESIDENTS INAUGURATION.

President Roosevelt was induCted
into office last Saturday under aus
pices that BODIES good to himself as
well as the great and powerful nation
he SO typically represents. Strange
to say, the weather was beautiful.
something quite unusual in Washing
ton on the 4th of March. The crowd
was one of the largest that ever AS
sembled at the nations capital to pay
it's tribute of esteem and love to a
crownless and throneless ruler. We
do not like the word ruler, it has a
despotic, tyrannical sound, and
should have no place in our language
when speaking If the United States.
Leader would be more fitting for
President Roosevelt, for more than
any other president who has held the
office for many years, does he truly
lead the people, and never were the
people, seemingly, more willing to fol.
low where he leads. When we think
of the conditions that exist in Rus.
sia and compare them with the great
event that thrilled a nation last Sat
urlay, should We not all feel proud
that we are Americans. that we
choose our own leaders, and that we
can look with feelings of pride, ad
miration, love and security upon the
chief of them all.
Fergus County argus., 1905-03-08

The persons who feel that a contin-
uation of President Roosevelts admin
istration is essential to public inter-
ests should not despair. Mr.. Roose-
velt's announcement that he would not
accept a second term was no more en-
phatic nor explicit than his declara-
ton that he would not accept the nom
ination for vice president at the Phil
adelphia OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
1t is possible that the presidents S
