OFFICIAL PAPER OF cHoUTEAU COUNTY
WEDNESDAY, DEC. %, 1909.
A TAXPAYERS LEAGUE.

existing in that municipality, q num-
Der OF the tax-paying citizens of Hell.
ena recently formed an organization
called the Taxpayers League, which
proposes to take q hand In the at airs
OF city government whenever it APP
pears necessary to advise with the
municipal administration. Many Of
the leading business men and most
wealthy citizens of Helena are identi.
fed with the movement, the member.
ship roll including men OF all politi.
cal parties who believe the program
will be for the public good.
1t is the belief of the River Press
that similar organizations in other
parts of Montana:would be of great
benefit to thelgeneral community. 1t
would bring the taxpayers into closer
touch withothe management OF their
public business, and enable them,
through their authorized agents, to
suggest methods by which their inter.
ests would be protected, and to pro.
test against a%ndlprevent the disburse.
ment of public funds whenever a dol.
lars value is not received for every
dollar expended.
The organization of taxpayers
leagues would not necessarily imply
constant criticism of the public ~.
thorities and meddlesome interference
with their work. If sufficient interest
in the matterswere taken by the larger
taxpayers, who are generally men of
good business judgment and level.
headed and liberal in their views of
subjects that concern themselves and
others, such q movement should pro.
gress without friction between the
leaeuelandIpublic officials. The latter
are the employees of the taxpayers,
and should not resent suggestions or
requests thatlmight be made by citi.
zens who supply the funds to meet the
payroll and foot the bills.
Every citizen who is familiar with
the methods of conducting the public
business by federal, state, county and
other public officials will agree thai
there is a deplorable waste in the dis
bursement of the taxpayers money
In some cases there is willful extrava'
gance, and in other cases the wasteful
expenditures are due to poor judgment
or lack of are in providing that an
equivalent in value shall have been
received for the payments made. Un'
der such circumstances it is the RICH,
of the taxpayers themselves, as the
employers of public officials, to take
such action as will give them more
satisfactory results.
Taxpayers leagues, II organized
and conducted upon conservative lines,
would be q powerful agency in cor
recting abuses that may exist in the
conduct of taxpayers business. They
could offerifriendly counsel upon mat
ters that may from time to time con
front public officials, and In cases o.
emergency take whatever action tina
might be necessary for the protection
Of the public interests. In the sbsenct
Of such organized effort on the par
Of the taxpayers, 1t is not surprising
that wasteful disbursement Of publ,
funds is frequently a subject of com
plant in various parts of the country

Friday afternoon the session opened
with prayer by Rev. E. W. Puffer of
North Troy. The report of the roll COM
mittee was read and adopted. followed
by duet by Messrs. Perry and Penny.
Then came an address by Rev. M. 6.
Upper of East Hardwick on "The
Transforming Power of Christ" This
was a clear and finished address. 1t
was followed by brief address by Rev.
Frank S. Tolman of ST. Johnsbury on
Returning to the Ground of Faith and
Source of Power" which emphasized the
truth that the Bible was the only found
alton of faith and the Holy Spirit, using
it in connection with our life and service,
was what gave us our only source OF
power in the advancement of Christ's
kingdom. This was followed by an ear
nest address by Rev. E. w. Puffer of
North Troy, in which he brought home
to ALL the need of making the sacrifice
and effort necessary to realize in ones
own life the ideals set by Christ for His
followers. The closing words were
spoken by the Rev. A. S. Gilbert in
which he urged each to consecrate him.
self to larger and better service during
the coming year.
The Association then adjourned until

NOTICE.

We desire to call your attention to the
fact that the American Liver Tablets
are perfect laxative. They are purely
vegetable and act as tonic to the
stomach and bowels as we'll as mild
stimulant to the liver. The habit of
constipation is one of the chief causes of
ill health. Drinking plenty of cold water,
eating coarse food, physical exercise,
regularity in habit, will cure a large
percentage of the cases. Yet many
require a laxative at times and every
home should contain The American
Liver Tablets as part of the home equip
ment. The dose is one or two at night;
children one-half tablet. They are sugar
coated. They never cause gripping or
any bad effect. The American Liver
Tablets can be bought at any drug
store or will be sent, postpaid, upon
receipt of price. Two sizes, 10 and 25
cents.

The centennial gathering of the Dan
vile Baptist Association, held at the

day, Thursday and Friday. was con-
sidered by those in attendance as the

in definite christian service and contact
with those of other races and creeds

trained workers.

of training each for the part he was best
fitted in the great business of life, or
