TOUR ASUCCESS

Our readers will be interested to
learn something of the work accom-
plishen by the Montana Exhibit Car
the past winter. w. E. French
had charge of this great publicity
work and owing to the hearty Coop
Grafton of the people and the Great
Northern Ry. he writes the follow
ing:
As is well known the car was
first started and financed by the Milk
River Valley Information Bureau and
up until January 1st was conducted
under the direction of that body.
Since that time and until April
8 the car h as been under the man-
agement of the Great Northern Ry.
The car travelled in the states of
Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois
and Indiana and was visited by no
less than 100000 people, many of
VIII ON have already come to Monta-
na and in many instances filed upon
homestead claims.
During the entire advertising
campaign the various towns who had
co-operated and assisted in financing
the car received their due share of
advertising.
The special assistance given by
the Great Northern before January
lst by sending their Passenger and
immigration Agents with us was
much appreciated and of great value.
Commencing January lst in
addition to the regular car work
we put on in the Opera Houses,
Churches, ETC., every evening SER
les of stereoptican views showing up
the country between St. Paul, Mimi,
and Seattle, WASH, particularly de-
fining Montana and the Chouteau-
Valley county country.
During some of the evening lee
lures some times it was necessary to
give two lectures in one evening and
very often it became necessary to
open the car t, r inspection at night
after the lecture.
Although several people have
co l. e to Montana as result of this
advertising it is safe to predict that
the large number of homeseekers
have not started and those can be
looked for this fall.
The Great Northern Ry. are SO
we'll pleased with their work that
they have createda special position
on their list of employees, that of
pecial Montana Immigration
Agent and have employed the writer
to fill that position during the sum-
mer, my duty to be to follow up the
work of the car, make up special
Montana parties and accompany
them to this country from these east
ern states. Or in other words, spec.
ial conducted parties,
| hope you will give the car work
as much publicity through your col
umns as you think it deserves be-
cause it will be appreciated,
Very truly yours,

resentatives at Washington, d. c., on
April 18th, Montana has been virtually
assured that she will have within her
borders a big national park, one h't

reasons why the government should
take over and include in its manage
ment the furnishing not only to the
navy, but to the public, drydock and
repair shop facilities and the sale OF
coal, oil and other ship supplies.
The maintenance of lock canal Of
this enormous size in a sparsely popu-
lated country and in the tropics, where
the danger from disease is always
present, requires a large and complete
and we'll trained organization with
full police powers. exercising the ut.
most care.
I cannot close this reference to the
canal without suggesting as q wise
amendment to the interstate commerce
law a provision prohibiting interstate
commerce railroads from owning or
controlling ships engaged in the trade
through the Panama canal / believe
such a provision may be needed to
save to the people of the United States
the benefits Of the competition in trade
between the eastern and western sea-
boards which this canal was construct
ed to secure.
Department of Justice.
am glad to say that under the ap-
preparations made for the department
of justice the attorney general has so
improved its organization that vast
amount of litigation Of a civil and
criminal character has been disposed
of during the current year. This will
explain the necessity for slightly in.
creasing the estimates for the ex-
penses of the department. His report
shows the recOveries made on behalf
of the government of duties fraudu-
lently withheld, public lands improp-
erly patented, fines and penalties for
trespass, prosecutions and convictions
under the antitrust law and prosecu.
lions under interstate commerce law.
l invite especial attention to the
prosecutions under the federal law of
the so called bucket shops" and of
those schemes to defraud in which the
use of the mail is an essential part
of the fraudulent conspiracy, proSecu.
tons which have saved ignorant and
weak members of the public and are
saving them millions Of dollars.
The violations Of the antitrust law
present perhaps the most important
litigation before the department. and
the number of cases filed shows the

activity of the government In enforc-
ing that statute.
Judicial Procedure.
One great crying need in the United
States is cheapening the cost Of litiga-
ton by simplifying judicia: procedure
and expediting final judgment. Under
present conditions the poor man is at
woeful disadvantage in legal con-
test with a corporation or a rich OF
ponent. The necessity for the reform
exists both in United States courts
and in all state courts. In order to
bring it about, however, it naturally
falls to the general government by its
example to furnish a model to all
states. A legislative commission APP
pointed by joint resolution of congress
to revise the procedure in the United
States courts has as yet made no re-
port
l am strongly convinced that the
best method of improving judicial pro-
cedure at law is to empower the SUI
preme court to do it through the me-
dunn of the rules Of the court, as in
equity. This is the way in which it
has been done in England.
Relief of Supreme Court From Un-
necessary Appeals.
No man ought to have as q matter Of
right a review of his case by the SUI
preme court. He should be satisfied
by one hearing before a court of first
instance and one review by court Of
appeals. The proper and chief useful
ness of the supreme court. and espe-
cially the supreme court of the United
States. is in the cases which come be-
fore it so to eXpound the law and espe-
cially the fundamental law-the con-
stitution-as to furnish precedents for
the inferior courts in future litigation
and for the executive officers in the
construction of statutes and the per-
Torrance of their legal duties. There
fore any provisions for review of cases
by the supreme court that cast upon
that court the duty of passing on ques-
tons of evidence and the construction
Of particular forms Of instruments, like
indictments or wills or contracts, de-
cisions not Of general application or
Importance, merely clog and burden
the court and render more difficult its
higher function, which makes it so i'm
portant part of the framework Of
our government. The supreme court is
now carrying an unnecessary burden
of appeals Of this kind, and earnestly
urge that it be removed.
Judicial Salaries.
l further recommend to congress the
passage of the bill now pending for
the increase in the salaries of the fed
eral judges, by which the chief justice
of the supreme court shall receive ST.
500 and the associate justices $1,000
the circuit judges constituting the cir
cult court of appeals shall receive S10,-
600 and the district judges $4,000. The
positions they occupy ought to be filed
by men who have shown the greatest
ability in their professional work at
the bar, and it is the poorest economy
possible for the government to pay
salaries so low for judicial service as

beginning of this administration there
were classified coal lands in the Unit
ed States amounting to 5,476.000 acres,
and there were withdrawn from entry
| for purposes of classification II ,S67 900
acres. Since that time there have been
withdrawn by my order from entry
for classification 7S,977,745 acres, max
ing q total withdrawal Of 9G,S44, 745
acres. Meantime of the acres thus
withdrawn 10O61 $50 have been classi-
| fed and found not to contain coal and
have been restored to agricultural en-
try and 4.72G,091 acres have been clas-
sified as coal lands, while 79,903, 230
acres remain withdrawn from entry
and await classification. In addition
337 COO acres have been classified as
coal lands without prior withdra wal.
thus increasing the classified coal lands
TO 10.429,372 acres.
The question as to how great an
area ought to be included in a lease to
one individual or corporation is not
free from difficulty, but in view of the
fact that the government retains con-
troll as owner think there might be
some liberality in the amount leased
and that $500 acres would not be too
great maximum. The leases should
only be granted after advertisement
and public competition.
The secretary Of the interior thinks
there are difficulties in the way Of
leasing public coal lands. entirely
approved his stating at length in his
report the objections in order that the
whole subject may be presented to
congress, but after full consideration
l favor leasing system and recon-
mend 1t.
The needed oil and gas law is essen
TALLY a leasing law. In their natural
occurrence oil and gas cannot be
measured in terms Of acres, like coal.
and 1t follows that exclusive title to
these products can normally be Sc
cured only after they reach the sur
face. Oil should be disposed of as a
commodity in terms Of barrels Of
transportable product rather than in
acres Of real estate.
Water Power Rates.
The water power sites subject is one
that calls for new legislation. 1t has
been thought that there was danger
Of combination to obtain possession Of
all the power sites and to unite them
under one control. Whatever the evil
dence of this or lack of it, at present
we have had enough experience to
know that combination would be prof
table, and the control Of great num-
Der of power sites would enable the
holders or owners to raise the price
Of power at will within certain Sec
lions. and the temptation would
promptly attract investors. and the
danger Of monopoly and eXtortion
would not be a remote one.
However this may be- it is the plain
duty Of the government to see to it
that in the utilization and develop
ment of all this immense amount Of
water power conditions shall be i'm
posed that will prevent extortionate
charges, which are the usual accompa-
niment of monopoly.

limitation Of the days work to eight
hours In all works Of construction initi-
ated by itself. and II seems to me IL
logical to maintain difference between
government work done on government
soil and government work done in a
private establishment.
Workmen's Compensation.
In view of the keen. widespread in
terest now felt in the United States Ia
system of compensation for indus
trial accidents to supplant our present
thoroughly unsatisfactory system of
employers liability (a subject the i'm
portance of which congress has al
ready recognized by the appointment
of a commissiOn. | recommend that
the international congress on indus
trial insurance be invited TO hold its
meeting in 1913 in Washington and
that an appropriation of $4,000 be
made to cover the necessary expenses
of organizing and carrying on the
meeting.
Safety Appliances and Provisions.
The protection of railroad employees
from personal injury is a subject OF
the highest Importance and demands
continuing attention.
Negro Exposition.
also renew my recommendation
that steps be taken looking to the hold
ING Of a negro exposition in celebra-
ton Of the f1ftieth anniversary Of the
Issuing by Mr.. Lincoln of the enamel
patton proclamation.
Conservation.
Nothing can be more important In
the matter of conservation than the
treatment of our forest lands. Speak
ing generally, the government has re-
served of the existing forests about 20
per cent Of all the timberlands Of the
government. Within these forests lin
Guiding 100000 acres in two forests
in Alaska) are 100000 acres. of
which 100000 acres are in the
United States proper and include with
in their boundaries something like o.
100000 acres that belong to the states
! or to private individuals. We have,
then, excluding Alaska forests, total
of about 144,OOO,0OO acres of forests
belonging to the government which
are being treated in accord with the
principles of scientific forestry.
The law now prohibits the reserva-
ton of any more forest lands in Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho, Montana.
Colorado and Wyoming except by
net of congress | am informed by
the department of agriculture that the
government owns other tracts of tim
berland in these states which should
| be included in the forest reserves.
recommend to congress that the limi-
tation herein imposed be repealed. In
the present forest reserves there are
lands which are not properly forest
land and which ought to be subject to
homestead entry.
Coal Lands.
The next subject, and one most i'm
portant for your consideration. is the
| disposition of the coal lands in the
| United States and in Alaska. At the

Wipins Out of Postal Deficit.
For many years there has been a
deficit in the operations of the post
Office department which has been met
by appropriation from the treasury.
The appropriation estimated for last
year from the treasury over and above
the receipts of the department was
SIT 100000. | am glad to record the
fact that of that $17,5O0,O00 estimated
for S11, 100000 were saved and return.
ed to the treasury. 1t is gratifying
to report that the reduction in the
deficit has been accomplished without
any curtailment of postal facilities.
Upon the recommendation of the
postmaster general have included in
the classified service all assistant post
masters, and believe that this giving
q secure tenure to those who are the
most important subordinates Of post
masters will add much to the efficiency
of their offices and an economical adj
ministration.

The unrestricted manner in which
the franking privilege is now being
used by the several federal services
and by congress has laid 1t open to Sc
rious abuses.
