tiers at the price stipulated in the act
OF congress, $3.50 per acre. Let us
hope that the courts will say to the
corporate defendant in these proceed
lngs, "The right of contract with the
government is as sacred as with in
dlvlduals, and you must keep 1t.
What shall be done II the decree be
adverse? The people do not desire to
despoil any Individual or corporation,
but they demand that these vast hold
ings Of the soil shall not block the
path Of progress or stand in the way
Of human needs; that they either be
developed or subdivlded and sold to
home builders.
There are but two effective reme-
dies which appeal to me as just alike
to the owner Of the lands and to the
state: First, an amendment to the
constitution which will permit the
levy Of special taxes for public pur-
poses upon lands idle and held for
speculation; and, second, such consti-
tItional notifications and legislation
az will permit the state to exercise
the right of eminent domain, con-
denim these lands in the courts when
ever necessary, pay the owners a fair
price for them, and sell them to the
people in small tracts. This proceed
ure would place no special burden
upon the state. The fund so used
would be revolving one and ulti-
mately would return to the state
treasury with a fair modlcum of
profit.
I am aware, of course, that this
would be an unusual exercise of the
historic right of eminent domain,
which primarily is the taking of pri- |
vate property for public purposes, but
we are living in an age wherein con-
ditions are kaleidoscope in their pre-
sentiment, and courts will be justified |
In sustaining such exercise Of the high |
for the reason that there |
can be no more important public pur-
pose than home building; nothing in
which the entire public has so vital
and far-reaching an interest. This
remedy only requires the reasonable
application to the conditions of our

TRIBUTE TO TAFT.

Colonel G. G. Goodwin, the veteran
newspapermAn of Salt Lake, pays
the following tribute to President
elect William Howard Taft:
"Mr. Taft was on Tuesday last
elected president by a great major
ity. A solid South. with three or
four states west of the Mississippi,
sustained Mr.. Bryan, but the rest ag
gregating vast majority we're for
Taft and Sherman. The most mar
ked returns we're from New York
City, which gave a vast majority to
the republican candidates, which
shows either treachery on the part of
Tammany or that great money
center discounted in advance any
possible excuse that the stock man
ipulators might conjure up upon
which to furry the market.
"Perhaps, Mr.. Taft, in education,
experience, training and intimate ac-
quaintance with public affairs, is the
best equipped man ever elected pres
dent. He has, withal, a tempera-
ment perfectly balanced for the eXalt-
ed place. He is calm, deliberate OF
Judgment, kindly Of nature, self
poised and strong. He ought to ex-
alt the high flee. SO trained a jurisi
as he VIII naturally insist upon
obedience to the laws, but SO broad
is his patriotism, SO proufound his
reverence for peace, that there will
be no outbursts of rage from HIM, nc
threats, no unseemly criticisms III
: short, the very opposite of what we
have become accustomed TO. ut
will be much such president 81
was MIR. Mckinley, but stronger; hi
Judgment will be as steady as wa
f Mr.. Harrison's, his nature as kindl,
, as was Mr. Lincon's. His admins
tration ought to draw the peopl
9 nearer together and invoke a deepe
patriotism among them"

by 200 plurality, with total of 1900
votes cast for republican and demo
cratic electors, Senator Romney. q
democrat. received 800 plurality
which was the biggest plurality, vot-
ing population and political complex
ion taken INTO account, received by
any candidate for state office on eth
er ticket, in his home county, in the
year 1908.
The Donlan defeat must be ascrib-
ed to other causes than this. Instead
of being influenced by parsimon-
ious motive, Montana's generous peo-
pie are ever ready to promote pub
lie servant who has made good.
The Donlan candidacy aside,
touching the republican victory in its
broader aspect, one must conclude
that, since the partisans on either
side were left free to adopt the slo.
gans and resort to the campaign
methods that seemed to them most
effective, our republican friends oi
the opposition won out chiefly for the
reason that they got the most votes

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1908.
THE REASON WHY.

Judge Taft was elected president
by nearly ss great an electoral vote
as Roosevelt received. Like Roose-
velt he captured Missouri and part
of the Maryland vote, Mr.. Bryan re-
ceiving only the vote of Nebraska,
Colorado and Nevada in addition to
the solid south.
CuriousIy enough, in view of the
platforms and records of the oppos-
ing candidates, Judge Taft received
an overwhelming vote in the great
centers, like New York City, for ex-
ample, where great bodies of organ
lied labor are massed, while Mr..
Bryan made enormous gains IN the
rural districts.
In Montana the democrats made
big gains in the outlying counties
and suffered tremendous losses in
Butte presumed to be the Gibraltar
of union labor in all the world.
Taft carried Montana by 5000 plur-
ality. So did all the republican state
candidates, excepting Donlan, fol
governor, by varying pluralitles
Governor Norris defeated Donlan by
about 800 plurality. Phil Goodwin
democratic nominee for treasurer
running on his record as treasurer o
Butte and his pledge to convert th
interest on public funds into th
state treasury, was a close second t.
Norris, and Swindlehurst, for lieuten
ant governor and Romney for secre
tary of state, ran next in order.
The Butte Miner, which put up
splendid fight for the democrati
ticket, in accounting for the defeat o
Donlan, and, incidentally Long an,
Romney, all hold-over state senators
suggests that they lost votes becaus
many citizens were averse to subject
ing their counties to the expense c
holding special elections to choos
new senators.
Granting that this plea may hav
operated against Senator Donlal
whose plurality in his home count
of Missoula was relatively insight
cant, the returns demonstrate col
clusively that it did not prejudice tt
candidates. of either Long or Ron
ney. In his home county of Fla
head, where total vote Of 1000 W;
polled and Taft received 800 plurs
ity, Senator Long received the han'
some plurality of 500. In his non
