THE RIGHT THING.

From The Billings Gazette.
There has been so much speculation
as to what would happen when Taft
and Roosevelt should meet that the
country expected something like what
is looked for at Reno on the Glorious
Fourth. The two men, the past and
the present chief executives Of the
nation, met, and there were smiles,
warm slaps upon the shoulders and
general geniality. That sort of thing
may not be pleasing to some, but is
the thing that the country likes to
read about just the same.

BACK To the FARM.

The people Of Montana are watch
ing the eastern "back to the farm
movement with great deal Of inter-
est. While the idea is much dis
cussed in the west as in the eastit
scarcely has the same import. Out
lere agricultural work is more gen.
eral occupation. The people are clos
er to the land-nearer to nature.
The idea is gaining a great mOmen-
tum in the east. New York state has
organized an association to interest
people in the farm movement. Its
purposes are explained in the follow
ing:
The purpose of the association
is to assist in the various move
ments to attract attention to the
opportunities offered in agricul-
ture in New York state, the con-
tition now being very different
from what it has been ut any time
in the past. There are many far
mers who are successful from Il
business standpoint,yet there are
hundreds of cheap farms through
the state which may be purchased
for even less than the buildings on
them are worth, while the land is
capable Of producing valuable
crops. These farms and the high
prices Of all kinds Of farm pro-
u ,tc Nat
should take manv families into
rural districts, making farm life
attractive and profitable.
There is no question but that the
disposition of people to return to the
farm can be made to work to the adj
vantage of the whole nation. There
should not be an acre of productive
land left idle. Every inducement pos
sible should be held out to thrifty peo-
pie who desire to leave the crowded
cities and go into those rural districts
where they can produce articles nee
essary for their own sustenance and
that Of others.
The greatest thing American peO-
pie OF influence and means can do for
their country is to open the way for
the population Of the country districts
with indust rious and ambitious peo-
pie who can make the soil yield up for
the benefit Of all.
Farm life is not like it was a quar-
ter OF IL century ago. Modern inven-
lions have put the country home-the
farm, in close touch with the city
and it is quite possible for people to
lead rural lives and keep in close
touch with the urban. The telephone
gives the farmer almost instant touch
with the very heart of the nearest big
city. Inventions and improvements
have minimiZed the work on the farm
and everything conspires to make the
life more attractive.
The old time drudgery of the house
wife Oh the farm has vanished ant
she who would enjoy life to the full
lest turns her face thitherward
The back to the farm movement i
a good one and is in the line of pro
fiji to all the people.

FARMING MORE ATTRACTIVE.

FARMING MORE ATTRACTIVE.
The farmers of the country are get
ting more out of life. This Is being
made easier by the rural mail delivery,
the rural telephone systems. improved
roads and the use of autos.
communicated between the farm
ers of the same community is an Ell
tirely different proposition to what 1t
was decade ago. They are not only
much closer to the towns-but also to
each other.
The sense Of which was
always the greatest handicap to keep
ing boys on the farm--is largely dis
appearing.
The excellence of the agricultural
schools, the opportunity for learning
new methods offarming and doing the
work intellieently-without the neces-
sity of making personal experiments
through Il long series Of years-have
also had a beneficial effect on farming.
Farming is being digniiied and it's
methods advanced.
The higher prices of farm products
have also assured more remuneration
fort the people engaged in the work and
the added profit has been an import
ant factor in making agriculturalists
better satisfied with rural life. In
fact, the greatly improved conditions
are largely responsible for the "back
to the farm" sentiment that now pre-
walls over the country.
The organization of economic and
social clubs has widened the scope of
enjoyment in rural communities and
the peoole are more able than ever to
provide amusement and instruction
for themselves.
Despite the pessimists there have
been great advances in conditions on
farms. 1t is apparent everywhere and
its wide-reaching influence is an i'm
portant factor in the worlds affairs.
Railway Journal: 1t is gratifying
to learn that J. j. Hill, of Great Nor
thern Railway fame, has turned
author. His book on "Highways Of
Progress" is from the press, and if it
is written in the same forceful style
that lie operates railroads and builds
up empires it should be exceptionally
interesting. lie can talk before
convention of farmers in a style that
would convince anyone that he knows
his subject we'll. Mr.. Hill is not a
college-bred man, but his practical
thoughts are expressed in language
that conveys just what he wishes to
have understood, which makes his
writings and addresses forceful and
to the point. He is for conversation
for this country. Not just in the
territory in which his great systems
go, but everywhere. He has been adj
vising the farmers to take better care
Of their lands and get greater results,
and am satisfied that his teachings
are being observed by many practical
men in this country. Mr.. Hill is not
only one of the most aggressive fac
tors in this country's commercial
sphere, but is also one of it's most
sensible leaders for the economic well
fare of this country in everyday
practical life. 1t is largely through
the school Of experience that he gain
ed his wisdom, and it is in the study
of the problems of every day life
that he is learning something new
day by day.

The new method of pouring cement
houses which was invented by Milton
Dana Morrill, has attracted wide atten-

tect. D. F. Creighton, TO inspect the work
now going on at Virginia Highlands. a
new suburb near Luna Park, with view
to employing the new steel mold equip

The work at Virginia Highlands has
been watched with much interest, as these
are the first houses ever poured by this
process.
The station and Office building was first
built, and now two damp-proof cement
homes are under construction.
Great speed can be attained in this new
method, and the cement work viii all be

BANKS PREPARING
TO FIGHT The TAX
Will Appeal the Case to the
Higher Courts.
JUSTICE wRIGHTS DECISION
Local Tribunal Holds that District
Levy Upon Gross Income from Cap
itaI, Surplus, Undivided Profits, and
Rented office Space Constitutes a
Franchise Tax.

Local bankers are preparing TO take an
appeal from the decision of Justice
Wright In the District Supreme Court, in
the income tax case, and to fight the
payment of the tax to the last ditch
The case came before the District court
in a petition brought by the Merchants
and Mechanics Savings Bank. in which
itssought TO recover the money paid on
a personal tax assessment levied on the
gross earnings of the bank, In the way of
interest on stocks, United States bonds
and other bonds. including a tax on the
income from capital. surplus and undi-
vided profits
Terms 1t Franchise Tax.
Justice Wright held. briefly stated. that
the tax was a franchise tax and not an
assessment against property. and there
fore within the meaning Of the statute.
The case was. a test brought by the
Merchants and Mechanics Bank. in which
other financial institutions of the Dis
trict are directly Interested. It is I'M
derstood that the cause win be carried to
the appellate courts and the issue fought
out 20 the end.
The contention Of the banks is that the
only earnings a bank can have is the
money earned from deposits. but the
District authorities, led BIZ Tax Assessor
Richards, contends that the banks derive
income from the capital stock from the
surplus and undivided profits aud from
real estate rented out for office purposes.
and that within the law the banks have
no more right to immunity from the
personal tax levy than any other class
Of corporations. Accordingly national
banks have been assessed per cent
in the form Of a corporation tax on gross
income, the trust companies have been
assessed per cent, and the savings
banks per cent, less interest paid TO
depositors.

Justice Wright upheld the correctness
Of the levy and sustained the demurrer
of the District to the petition Of the
bank
