THE WOOL BUYERS TACTICS.

In q brief address to Montana sheep.
men, at their Helena meeting, Gov
ernor Toole gave q humorous but
pertinent illustration of the methods
by which the producers are swindled.
Following is a portion of his remarks:
II understand that the great shrink.
age charged up to Montana wool for
the past season is alleged to be due to
the unprecedented amount of grease
and dirt in the wool. The fact is that
every industry has to contend with
some mysterious factor which the
buyer or seller ~injects into the trans
action. Some time its one thing and
some time its another. Years ago it
was related of an Irish miner who
shipped his ore to a certain smelter
Cor treatment, that he observed upon
receiving his returns that q deduction
| of 10 per cent. had been made and
charged for moisture. Another car.
load went forward, and the returns
showed Is per cent. for moisture.
Still another car, and 20 per cent.
| was deducted for the same reason.
shipments ceased, much to the dis
comtiture of the smelter, and upon iu-
quiry why no more ore was coming,
our Hibernian wag replied that his
ore seemed to contain SO much mOis-
ture that he concluded to sell 1t to the
water company.
"If Montana woods, heretofore con-
sidered par excellence, shall continue
to accumulate grease and dirt in
proportion to the start made in 1906,
there would seem to be Il crying de-
mand for the speedy establishment OF
u :wool soap factory at some con-
venient and accessible point to which
you could turn in periods when grease
and dirt predominated. Indeed, /,
would seem that no other alternative
remains, unless the marvellous know
ledge possessed by Luther Burbank ir
the vegetable world can be extended
and adapted to the animal kingdom
and a breed Of sheep be produced
which, like the famous Goa Of Brian
O'Lin, has
The skinny side on, and the woolly sid.
in
"This would probably eliminate the
grease and dirt problem only te
make room for more fallacy which iu'
genious representatives Of the WOO
buyers cause to spread and again de
press the Market

who deposits it in the various banks
of the state, according to his liking.
From this money, we are informed,
the state does not draw one cent OF
interest. Someone draws the interest.
but the state receives no benefits from
it. If this money is deposited at even
4 per cent. interest We should have an
income of approximately 100000 a
year, entirely too large a sum for this
state to present to an officeholder.
AT the recent republican state con.
vention, MIR. Porter, of Miles City,
called attention to the fact that the
state moneys were on deposit at inter-
est, but up to the present time not
even one cent of this interest has been
paid to the state. In connection with
this he introduced a resolution de-
mauding that the state treasurer turn
over to the state all interest derived
from public funds. Unfortunately this
resolution met the fate of many other
honest measures and was laid on the
table until such time as its existence
will be agreeable to the treasurer OF
this state.
This question of interest upon pub.
lie moneys is not a political one, as
under either republican or attic
administrations the interest derived
from the public funds has been treated
as the spoils of the Office. 1t is claimed
that before the state is entitled to this
interest legislation is needed, but this
contention is merely the argument OF
dishonest politicians, as the constitu-
ton of Montana provides definitely
upon this point and its provisions ex.
pressly prohibit any custodian OF pub.
lie funds from profiting in any way
from the use of this money.
The Office Of state treasurer has long
been looked upon as the richest within
the gift of the state and this income OF
between fifteen and twenty thousand
dollars q year explains why the Office
is 80 much sought after.
