The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1911-11-10

In the Los Angeles municipal
election held last week, the So
cialist candidates were in the
lead over the old parties. Job
Hartman, the socialist candidate
for mayor, led by a big margin,
but did not have a majority of
all the vote cast. and the matter
must be decided at another elec-
tion to be held early in Decem-
Der. Mr.. Hartman is one Of the
counsel defending the Mcnamara
brothers in the big trial now at
tracing attention in that city.
1t is expected that the 10000
women voters of Los Angeles
will be the deciding factor in the
election, and the opponents of
Hartman conceed that he will
easily receive 10000 of these
votes. With the socialist vote
growing as rapidly as it has,
there is no wonder the leading
spirits in many of the measures
to be acted upon by congress at
the next session see cause to say
that something must be done or
socialism will be the result.

and cities throughout the country
resulted in the election of demo-
cratic governors in Massachu-
setts, Kentucky and Mississippi,
a republican governor in Rhode
Island, a republican assembly in
New York, which will challenge
the continuance of Governor
Dix's policies, a New Jersey leg
islature probably not, in accord
with Governor Woodrow Wilson
of that state with the results of
the state elections in Maryland
and New Mexico still in doubt.
In Massachusetts, Governor
Foss, democrat, was elected by a
reduced plurality of about 5000
over Louis rockingham, repub-
lican. The contest was unex-
pectedly close and early returns
indicated Governor Foss' defeat.
The republican candidate for
lieutenant governor was elected
by 1000 majority and the other
republican state candidates are
probably elected. H
In Rhode Island Governor Po-
thier, republican, is reelected
over Louis w. Waterman, demo-
crat, by a greatly increased plur-
ality. The state senate is solidly
republican and the assembly is
largely republican.
New York furnished one of the
chief surprises of the election,
reversing the present democratic
majority of "a in the senate as
sembly and electing a republican
majority of so or upward.
The change removes the united
support which both branches of
the legislature heretofore have
given Senator Dix's policies, In
New York City Tammany's con-
troll was shaken but not overcome.
Tammany candidates in Manhat-
tan and the Bronx being elected,
while those in Brooklyn and
Queens county were defeated by
fusion candidates.
New Jersey similarly furnished
a surprise by the probable re-
versal of control of the legisla-
ture, the returns indicating re-
publican majorities in the senate
and assembly. ....
In Kentucky James B. Nc
Creary, democrat, was elected
governor by a majority of from
10000 to 100000. A democratic
legislature was also elected,
which insures the choice of Cam
gressman Ollie James as United
States senator from Kentucky.
Mississippi elected a democrat
ic governor and state officers by
a decisive majority.
Returns from Maryland are in
conclusive; claims were made of
the election of Philip Lee Colds
borough, republican candidate for
governor, by 5000 majority over
Arthur P. German, democrat,
while counter claims of demo-
cratic success were made. The
constitutional amendment de-
signed to disfranchise negroes
probably was defeated.
Scattering returns received
from half of the 26 counties Of
New Mexico, indicate the election
of w. C. Mcdonald, democrat, for
governor and the entire demo-
cratic state and judicial ticket.
Paz Valverde, democrat, and
George Curry, republican, are
running close for the second seat
in congress. The vote on the So
called "blue ballot" amendment
to the New Mexico constitution
designed to make that instru-
ment easier of amendment in
dicates that the amendment has
carried by tWo-to-one vote.

requirements of the law. 1t has
been forwarded to the board OF
county commissioners for action
and will undoubtedly receive
early attention on their part.
1t is a remarkable fact that of
all the men asked to sign this
paper, only two refused. One
gave as his reason that he was
not prepared to say it would be
the best thing for the town to
incorporate at this time, and the
other that he was afraid if the
town was Incorporated it might
put him out of business. To both
such replies there can be but lit
tie to be said. AS to the first
objection it seems that such
grounds are not we'll taken, as it
is a certain fact that the town
will never amount to very much
unless it does incorporate. 1t
may not if it does, and it surely
will not if it don't. To the other
objection this is true if a man
is engaged in such a business
that incorporation might put him
out of, then his business must
not be a legitimate one and
should be suppressed. That is
all there is to that.
The real object of incorporat-
ing Roman at this time is to Sc
cure from the secretary of the
interior a water concession from
one Of the streams accessible for
that purpose. There is sufficient
water to supply the town with
the finest domestic water ever
drank by any people, and we
want the right to divert it and
bring it into town for domestic
purposes. This cannot be done
unless the town is Incorporated
and therefore this should be done
speedily. With the right granted
us for that purpose, the next
thing will be to get the system
in. This should be done at the
earliest possible moment, and
should be done by honest, capable
men, men who will not submit to
the town being grated and the
system made to cost more than
it should.
With a system of waterworks
once in operation the property of
the citizens will enhance in value,
the security from fires will be in
creased and the cost of insurance
reduced somewhat from what it
is now. This reduction it is esti-
mated will offset any taxes that
may be assessed against the prop
erty occasioned by incorporation.
It is true there will be some
additional tax levied over what
one now pays, but the additional
money will be used to such an
advantage as to increase the val
ue of all the property in the town
many times over the cost.
At present some of the lots are
owned by non-residents and
when a sidewalk is needed in
front of such property, they are
not very lively in responding to
the request, if at all. Those who
own the adjoining property are
forced to improve the property
of the nonresident, and both
reap the benefit. With the town
incorporated it will be possible to
make the nonresident "come
across" just like the man who
now voluntarily does. That
would help some too.
Roman will soon be it position
to enforce order on her own &C.
count, to own a system of water
works, and to enforce an order
for local improvement. Then
watch developments.
Some time ago the Pioneer
mentioned the fact that there
would be a series of lectures de.

BOrah Has
A Measure

Senator Borah of Idaho, has a
measure which he will introduce
in the next session of congress
which is of interest to all home
steaders.
1t is stated in a dispatch from
Wallace that he intends to advo-
cate a reduction in the time a
homesteader is required to reside
upon the land from five to three
years, and in the case of the pur-
chasers of irrigated lands, would
provide that they may receive
title at the end of three years,
upon proving compliance with
the laws regarding residence,
whether they have paid for the
water rights that go with their
land, or still owe for them in
part.
This measure will be of espec-
ial interest to homesteaders on
the Flathead, as the matter of
title is a vexatious one to those
who are making proof. With
only receivers receipts as evil
dence of their having complied
with the law, a great many are
suspicious of such a title. Should
Senator Borah succeed in remedy
ing this matter as is proposed, it
will be a relief to many home-
steaders here.
This solution appears the best
which has been suggested, and
this paper hopes the bill will be
introduced and passed at an
early date.

TENEMENT HOUSE BUILDING
Last Quarterly Report Shows a
Large Falling Off.

The latest issue of"The Record and Guide"
contains an article entitled Changing City
Life" which is as follows:
Two great tendencies I'm New York real
estate affairs are becoming pronounced.
One is illustrated by the determination of
Levi T. Morton to sell his Fifth avenue
residence and go into apartments.
THE other tendency is eXemplhed by the
fact that as only elevator houses are now
being built on Manhattan Island, as a gen
eral rule, and as the old tenements are
gradually being reduced in number. families
which cannot afford to meet the rent sched-
ues charged I'm elevator houses are steadily
migrating to the other boroughs or wher-
ever cheaper housing is obtainabe.
Men like ex-Vice- President Morton will
not. Of course. be satisfied with apartment
houses as their permanent homes. An
apartment cannot take the place of a pri-
vate dwelling I'm this respect. and can only
be considered as a temporary habitation.
The real homes OF our first families will
hereafter be in the country. Mr.. Morton
has a fine estate named Fernciffe, at Rhine
beck-on-t the Hudson, and If he follows the
new fashion he will spend much more Of
his time there than he has i'm the past.
The middle class man of family seems
also TO be losing his taste for city life. An
estimate by a real estate authority is that
fifty thousand families have moved Off the
island this year A far larger number Of
newcomers have. of course, taken their
places, but the fact remains that many old
New York families have found during the
last decade that old ties and associations

not as they used to be. Consequently they,
too. are thinking of moving. Old churches
lament dwindling congregations. old friends
come less frequently to the clubs IN the
evenings and after awhile one hears that
they have Joined the great army OF COM
muters.
During the three months covered by the
last quarterly report OF the Buildings De
partment l76 tenement houses were demoI-
shed in Manhattan and only 6S added. ihe
new houses are, however, mucn larger thah
the old ones and have added -,oSo apart
ments TO the total supply from which the
demolition Of the old houses took away only
9S5 apartments. leaving net increase OF
only 1857 apartments.
up to October only l53 apartment
houses had been planned In this borough
since the first Of the year. ana the lndl-
cations are that the total number Tor the
year will not be very many IN excess or
200 When the total number OF OLD houses
demolished is deducted IL will be seen that
the borough has provided new apartments
for only comparatively small proportion
OF the possible increase in population

houses now being erected are OF the ele-
vator type in which the ave age rentals

cut Of the central sections. The process
may be divided into several stages, but
the ultimate consequence is as stated.
Every year it is becoming more difficult
for the average man 10 maintain house
hold In the old-fashioned way, and more
and more life in Manhattan is taking on
the character Of soiourning, with an ex-
tremely large proportion of the population
consisting of persons of the boarding ana
