The democratic county convention
which was held here last Saturday
was an enthusiastic one and largely
attended. Every voting precinct in
the county was represented and there
were active candidates for most of
the places on the ticket, resulting in
friendly contests for several of the
nominations. A strong ticket was
placed in the field and the democrats
went home Saturday with the firm
conviction that it would be elected.
That the democrats have made pop
nlar nominations is the comment
universally heard. They have an
admirable ticket and one worthy of
the support of the voters of any
party from top to bottom. There is
not person on it but that will make
a capable as we'll as an hon
est official if elected.

court house at the usual hour Satur-

made a capital crime, at least In the

should be made by which the punish

of the Tenth Montana legislative At
sembly:
First-To devise stringent laws for
the protection OF all shippers and
particularly the shippers of perishable
| property such as livestock of all kinds
and make the penalty in extreme
cases imprisonment as well as fine.
Second-Establish a board Of rail-
road commissioners to regulate and
control those corporations within this
state, until such time as the growing
enlightment of the people will enable
them to fully realize that those great
utilities are their own without further
price than the misery they have here
tofore endured from that source. Such
board should be non-partisan in cha
racter, it should be representative of
the leading industries Of the state,
and only men Of Independent means
and character and known integrity
should be upon it.
Resolution number three was a.
dopted as follows:
Whereas, The present livestock sani-
tary laws are in many particulars
SO imperfect and vague as to render
them OF little or no value in practical
operations, be 1t
Resolved, That The state board Of
stock commissioners, the state board
OF sheep commissioners and the state
veterinarian meet and devise new laws
covering those matters, and that their
findings be presented to the legis-
lative assembly for enactment into
law, and that the cid laws relating TO
the same be repealed.

should be favored. In other words, it
should be permitted to ra.lro Ids TO

ments were sanctioned by the inter

what harm such a combination could
do to the public at large.
INHERITANCE AND INCOME TAX.
The national government has long de-
rived its chef revenue from a tariff
On imports and from an internal or ex-
else tax. In addition to these, there Is
svery reason why, when next our eys-
tenn of taxation is revised, the national
government should impose a graduated
Inheritance tax and, IL possible, grad
lated income tax

Is this needs long and careful study IN

zone, may clearly see the necessity OF
proceeding with wisdom and self re-
'traint and may make up their minds

he matter, while only trained leg sla-
ors can work out the project in neces-
sary detail. But / feel that in the near
.uture our national legislators should
anact law providing for a graduated
Inheritance tax by which a steadily in
'reasing rate of duty should be put
pom all moneys or other ealuables
coming by gift. bequest or devise to
ny individual or corporation. There
'an be no question OF the ethical pro-
riety OF the government thus deter
mining the conditions upon which any
lift or Inheritance should be received.
AS the law now stands it Is undoubted-
~ difficult to devise a national in
come tax which shall be constitutions.
But whether 1t Is absolutely Impossible
is another question, and If possible It
is most certainly desirable. The first
purely income tax law was passed BY
the congress in 1851, but the most i'm
portant law dealing with the subject
was that of 1894. This the court held
to be unconstitutional.
The question Is undoubtedly very in
tricate delicate and troublesome. The
decision Of the court was only reached
by one majority. 1t is the law Of the
land and of course il accepted AZ such
and loyalty obeyed by all good citizens.
Nevertheless the hesitation evidently
felt by the court as whole in coming
to a conclusion, when considered to-
gether with previous decisions on the
subject, may perhaps indicate the pos
sibllty of devising a constitutional in
come tax law which shall substantially
accomplish the results aimed at. The
difficulty of amending the constitution
Is so great that only real necessity can
justify a resort thereto. Every effort
should be made IN dealing with this
subject, as with the subject of the
proper control by the national govern
ment over the use Of corporate wealth
in interstate business, to devise lag:s-
ation which without such notion shall
attain the deired end but if this fails
there will ultimately be no alternative
to a constitutional amendment.

consider many matters Of interest
among them being the place for hold

be remembered that the last meeting
Of the association held in Helena was
not particularly well attended by
members from the range districts,
and to meet these conditions the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted by
the executive committee:
Whereas, At the last annual meet
ing of this association in Helena there
was an unsatisfactory attendance of
members from the cattle range
country, and
Whereas, 1t is for the benefit Of all
owners of cattle to maintain an organ
ization for the purpose Of protecting
themselves against their common ene-
mics the rustlers, the wolves and the
railroads, he it
Resolved, That the next spring
meeting Of this association be held at
Great Falls on Friday following the
Niles City meeting in April, 1907, and
THAT at that time a revision of the by
laws be effected to meet the changing
conditions in the cattle business.
resolution number two was adopted
as follows:
Whereas, The principal railroads
operating in Montana are virtually
controlled by one man and apparently
are conducted for his ACKNOWLEDGMENT
without proper regard for the pro-
ducers and consumers who occupy the
country, and
Whereas, A railroad is common
carrier that derives its power to oper-
