A change in the vice-presidency of the
Northern Pacific was made the other
day, when Mr.. Slade, once one of the
head men of the Great Northern and
son in-law of James j. Hill, succeeded
Mr.. Horne. With one of Mr.. Hills sons
at the head of the financial management
of the n. P. in New York and his son-in-
law controlling the management of the
st. Paul end it would seem that the two
transcontinental systems ought to get
along without friction.
Excavating work on the new union
depotin Winnipeg of the Canadian

railways was started Monday. The
building will be a magnificent structure
with frontage of 400 feet on Main

towards the Red river. The excavation
will cover an area of about $4,000 square
feet to depth of 13 feet. The center of
the depot will come where Broadway
now runs. 1t is expected to take two in
years in the building.
A rather complicated legal matter oc-
CURED on Tuesday night. Thos. Prittie
bought machine belt from Vim. Mason

rented it to Geo. Hensal. King& Book
er attached the belt on account of bill
owed by Mr.. Prettie. The attachment
papers were served by Marshal Akers
late in the evening, so the marshal left
it on the machine in care of Mr.. Hensal.
Next morning the belt was in St. Vim
cent. supposedly with Mr.. Mason and
later the marshal went over and got it
again and that's all for the present ex-
c,pt it's an endless belt and may get on
the wheels of the court.

Ed. Peterson, r. H. Olson, Martin
James and Siv. Anderson composed a
hunting party that went out to the big
swamps Saturday for goose hunt.
Upon reaching there they found a fire
twenty miles long raging in the tall
grass. At one time they were entirely
surrounded by flames that leaped fifty
feet in the air and which seemed to lick
up all the moisture in the swamp as it
passed over. 1t was only after several
difficult efforts that the boys managed
to start the tall moist grass. burning
around their camp and thus saved them
selves from hot reception. They got
out alright but tell thrilling stories Of
escape. They didn't get any game, but
nevertheless consider themselves lucky.

Spies i'm America.

On the occasion of the arrest of a
man who had stolen bpoks in the
Astor library the discovery has been
made that for many months the Rus
sian government has employed a Sc
eret agent to watch persons reading
anarchist books OF making notes from
such. This agent was known exclu-
sively to the employees of the library.
He had to follow up his victims to
find out where they lived and which
meetings they attended and who were
their hcquaintanees. Further investi-
cations disclosed that all Libraries Of
New York are thus watched by Rus
sian secret agents.
We hear that Russian secret agents
have even in several cities of this
country sold revolutids ary literature

ira in his pocketi He certainly would
not. The price of the necessaries
would fall, to be sure; but labor power
being a commodity, the same as tea,
tobacco and sugar, it is subject to
the same laws that regulate all COM
modities, so that after a temporary
fiuctuation of market prices labor pow
er would fall to its cost of produc
tion. So much for indirect taxation.
But although We may not pay taxes
indirectly, we are told that we still
pay the police tax, poor tax, etc. Yes,
my friend, a sum of money passes be-
tween you and the tax gatherer once
a year, and if you do not pay that
you will be liable to proceedings being
taken out against you. Surely, then,
yon ought to be a taxpayer Let us
try again and see il it viii stand the
test. If it does then you are tax
payer; if il does not, then you are
not. Does a commodity pay a tax on
itselff No. The tea is an inanimate
thing; it cannot pay tax on itself.
Does labor power, being likewise a
commodity the same as tea. pay a tax
ON itself' No. Labor power, being
the physical and mental powers inher-
ent in the working man or woman
which the working class sells to the
capitalist class, it must first get the
tax from the capitalist or il could not
pay it, because labor power exchanges
on the market and gets its market
price, of which taxation is part.
No, fellow workingmen, you don t
pay taxes. directly or indirectly. 1t

is slave under capitalist society, and
will remain slave as long as this

Carter'S Political
Pot Boiling

The political game is already rolling
merrily in Helena. As an example of
the bipartisan division of the "plums'
in the line of "interests" the Inde-
pendent has been given the state print
ing. The award was granted by Gov.
Toole, Attorney-General Galen and the
State Auditor. The auditor dissented
from this favoring of the Independent,
which is on the unfair list of the
unions owing to improper treatment of
its employees. Petitions have come
from the unions from all over the state
asking that the contract be not given
to the Independent, but the democrat
Toole and the republican Galen pre-.
ferred to slap the union men of Mon
tana in the face to carry out their own
ulterior purposes. II is supposed that
Carter cracked the whip over Galen
and he had TO keep lock step.
The Record is the republican sheet.
Il is controlled by the sympathizers of
Dixon and is against the republican
machine a la Amalgamated and Senator
Carter. Carter has made an attempt
to get controlling share of its stock,
but has failed; consequently he diverts
his favors to the democratic Miss In
dependent. And rumor has it that
the republican senator is paying the
