directing the attention of settlers to
Montana as a desirable state in which

TO ADVERTISE MONTANA.

Among the measures under consid-
Grafton in the state legislature is a
so.called "publicity" bill, introduced
by Senator Donlan, of Missoula coun-
ty, which proposes to disseminate in
formation regarding Montana and its
resources among people who are seek.
ing homes in the west. The general
nature of the bill is indicated in it's
title, which describes it as follows:
A bill for an act to increase the
duties of the commissioner of the
bureau of agriculture, labor and in
dustry; to provide for the collection
and compilation of statistics for the
use of said bureau, by counties and
by chambers of commerce, CONNER.

erative societies of farmers, state fed.
Grated trade unions and other indus.

acter: TO provide for the publication
and publicity of such statistics; to
provide for appropri ations by counties
and by the state to meet the expenses
incurred in the furtherance of such
purposes aud to provide for the ap-
pointment and salary of an assistant
clerk of said bureau.
One of the merits of the measure is
a provision which restricts the ex.
pense of the proposed campaign to
attract home seekers. It provides
that the commissioner of the bureau
of agriculture, labor and industry
shall quarterly prepare reports from
the data, cuts and statistics on file iu
his office or submitted to him as here
matter provided. Such reports shall
furnish reliable information upon one
or more of the following topics, to

Upon the agricultural, commercial.

Such reports shall be in, the form o

WATER w IN MONTANA.

There is one portion of the message
of Governor Norris relating to the
waters of the state which Is en-
titled to more than passing notice.
The governor in introducing the SUBJ
ject USE these words:
"Montana lie rich-immeasurably
rich in its volume of water for irriga.
ton, power and other useful purposes
and our future growth will be materi.
ally aided or retarded by the manner
in which this is developed"
The statements quoted are absolute.
ly true, and the question naturally
arises: Ia the recommendation of the
executive in regard to legislative
action on the subject calculated
to aid or retard the de.
velopment of the water power OF
Montana? He recommends that there
be such legislation as will result in
giving a revenue to the state to be
paid by those who utilize the streams
to develop power. If the Legislature
should follow the recommends alton, it
could not include those enterprises
which are now going concerns nor
those under construction. Under
these circumstances would not legisla.
ton along the line desired by Gov
ernor Norris result in creating a
monopoly controlled by plants now in
operation, or contemplated, and with
the result that capital, which might
under equal conditions enter the field,
would not do so under a handicap,
such as the tax suggested would
entail?
One of the greatest OF
Montana is its streams for the de-
velopment of power. Hundreds OF
thousands of horse power which
could be used to irrigate lands, to
operate mines and mills and in scores
of other ways can be developed by
the streams which now run to waste,
and what Montana needs is their de-
velopment. Will We bring about this
development by first creating a
monopoly and then taxing enterprise
by charging for the privilege OF
Harvesting the streams? That is no,
the way capital is attracted and com
petition encouraged.
The regulation Of rates recommend.
ed is a subject which the legislative
assembly should carefully consider
and act upon. But If the desire ia &c
develop the water powers of the state,
it cannot be done by placing enter
prise in the position where it cannot
compete on the same terms with es'
tablished plants.
AS years 20 by and the streams O
the state are used in the development
OF power, the question of raising 6
revenue from their utilization will be.
come germane. But today what Mon
tana must do is to encourage and MOI
retard the development of it's water
power resources.-Montana Record.
