in each assembly, have no thought of
the public welfare or good govern.
ment: their presence in the house or
ate Is for the purpose of promoting
some selfish interest at the expense OF
the general community, aud to obtain
for themselves a. much personal gain
as possible.
The people of Chouteau county are
fortunate in having at their call q
number OF representative citizens as
candidates for Legislative honors. On
the republican side, there are two as.
pirants for the position of state sen.
ator. and three aspirants for the two
seats IN the house of representatives
to which Chou,eau county is entitled.
There are also two democratic aspir.
ants for the honor last mentioned.
With this wealth of available legis!a-
tive timber at their command, the peo.
pie of Chouteau county have an op.
portunity to compare the merits Of the
res pective candidates., to review their
records and standing among their fell
low citizens, and 70 satisfy themselves
as to which candid ates would best rep
resent Chouteau county in matters that
may be discussed and acted upon by
the tenth legislative assembly.
1t is within the possibilities that the
nomination and election OF Legislative
candid ates in Chouteau county will de.
termlne the choice of q United States
sen ator to succeed w. A. Clark. This
Is . very important duty, but 1t Is not
the only one, by any means, that the
tenth Legislative assembly will be
called upon to perform. The welfare
Of the people of Montana calls for leg.
islation that has not been provided by
former assemblies, and they will look
to the next legislature for relief. An
effective railroad commission meas
ure, a more business-like administra.
ton OF the public business, better
methods of handling public funds, a
revision of mileage fees allowed
public oficials-these are some Of the
matters that call for legislative action
by the next assembly.
In nominating their legislative can
didates at the coming primary cleo.
ton, the citizens of Chouteau county
cannot do better than to bear in mind
the admonition suggested in the re-
marks quoted from the Missoulian:
"Why not make the next legislative
assembly o model for future genera
tons: 1t rests with the people,"
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1906-08-29
FOR 4 MODEL. LEGISLATURE.

"Why not make the next Legislative
assembly a model for future genera.
tions? 1t rests with the people, says
the Missoulian.
That remark should suggest to the
citizens of Montana the necessity for
careful consideration of the merits of
the men to whom they entrust the work
OF making our state laws. 1t has been
the custom in many parts OF Montana
to send to the legislature any man
who expressed a willingness to ne.
ylect his own business affairs for a
period Of about two months, and rep
resent his district in the Legislative
assembly. Membership in the legis.
lative assembly is not a lucrative
position for IN honest citizen: his re-
ward consists for the most part Of the
consciousness that he has rendered
service to his fellow citizens to the
best Of his ability, and that he has eu.
deavored to make Montana one Of tn,
best governed states in the union.

Immunity For Witnesses.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2l-Immunity for the
railroad officials from prosecution for
violating the interstate commerce laws
in giving rebates to the Standard Oil
company is the price which the federal
authorities are paying for testimony
upon which they will try to secure
conviction Of the giant trust and some
Of its officials.
1t was announced the other day by
the local railroad men that they will
have NJ hesitaucy in u%ncovering all
the trans actions between the roads and
the oil combine to the local federal
grand jury, because they are sur that
by so doing they will be themselves
exempt from prosecution.
When the oil combine prosecution
was first launched it was found by the
federal authorities that the railroad
officials familiar with the facts de-
cliued to come forward. 1t was ex.
planned by one Of the local railroad
attorneys recently that a definite IN.
