THAT TAX LEVY AMENDMENT.

One of the important matters to
come on for decision ut the coming
Montana state election, and one
which should be investigated thor
oughly by every citizen, is the propos-
ed tax levy amen lment. he pro-
position is one entirely outside of
partisan politics, and was defeated
two years since largely, it is believ-
ed, through lack of knowledge as to
conditions and the urgent need in
vOlved.
The open statement to the people of
Montana issued by the state board Of
examiners urging the necessity for
the amendments adoption, is one
which the citizens of Montana cam
not become too familiar with, show
ing as it does the need that the amend
ment be voted in order to save the ed
ucational institutions of the state
from closing. The statement is SIM

Many citizens have made requests
for 4 statement Of the income paid M

of the expenses payable from that

the inquirers tc consider more intel
ligentlv the merits of the proposed
constitutional amendment relating to

the voters ut the coming election.
In response to these requests the

FL Calcutta, 1910.
The farmer Is the big man of the
United States. He is a bigger man is
India. There are 200.ooo,0oO of him,
and he forms the backbone of the
country. To-day he is comparatively
quiet. The great unrest which is GO
ing on is mostly among the other
classes. 1t is fomented by the profess
sional men. clerks and graduates OF
the government schools. whose walk
ing delegates are moving about among
the agricultural masses and stirring
up trouble. One OF John Bulls big
gest problems is to keep the farmers
attached to the government, and the
British officials are doing all they can
to this end.
spent an hour the other day at the
agricultural department talking with
its secretary, Mr.. J. O. Miller, as to
some of the movements. He tells me
that the government is awake to the
needs of the farmer and to what is
being done for them In other countries.
he speaks highly of our work along
such lines. saying that the United
States leads the nations and that India
is taking lessons from us.
Mr.. Miller tells me that every pro-
vince of this country has now its ag-
ricultural department and agricultural
schools. Each is making a study of its
own peculiar conditions, and doing
what 1t can to improve them. Nearly all
have experimental farms. and are dis
tributing seeds. Many are making
studies of the insect pests, and not a
few are trying to breed up the stock
of their respective territories. AT the
top OF the system is an Inspector
general of agriculture, who acts as a
technical advisor to both imperial and
provincial governments, and the chief
agricultural experts of the country
have been combined into board of
agriculture, which2 meets at certain
times to discuss the farming situa-
ton and submit recommendations as
to its improvement. Agricultural
colleges have recently been establish
ed in Madras, Bombay and the united
and central provinces, and there are
farming branches in nearly all Of the
industrial schools.

by council Of state, consisting of
Lord Curzon, Gen. Lord Kitchener and
other men of experience. Some of the
ablest experts were hired and an up
to-date agricultural college established.
The fund originally given by MIR Phipps
has been added to, until we have now
expended something like 100000 in
building up the institution. There is
an experimental seed Improvement
station connected with it, and also a
cattle breeding farm. There are labor
atories of various kinds. and In them
