CITY Administration
IS TOO ExTRAVAGANT
is OPPOSED TO
FURTHER NON-PARTISAN
LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

IewistoWn, Mont, / eb ~, l9ll.
Editor Democrat:
In view Of the approaching city
election in April, it occurs to me that
it is now time the citizens begin dis
eussing matters which SO vitally con-
Germ their pocket-books. To that end
/ should like space to air a few re-
marks
That our experience with a nom
partisan city government has been
costly one, few taxpayers will deny.
1t was thought by democrats as well
as republicans, preceding the election
swo years ago, that it would be a
capital idea to put the administration
IN non-partisan hands. We know
now that we made a mistake, and lind
the best government is one that IS
actuated rot alone by consldera-
ton Of what is best for the people,
but by remembering that its acts will
be criticized by an opposing party.
We have learned another thing, viz:
That we did not elect a non-partisan
mayor but one bitterly partisan.
The first thing Our non-partisan CD
mayor did was to discover that our
magnificent city hall, which cost in
the neighborhood of $1,000, and which
had housed preceding administrations,
was not tie thing for non-partisan
administration, and, as a consequence,
the headquarters OF the city govern
ment were removed to the Masonic
Temple, where the Taxpayers are
paying rent instead of occupying the
building erected at SO much expense
by the city. The argument that the
old city hall is needed for the fire de-
partment is an argument that will not
go down We are just as proud OF
our volunteer fire boys as any city
m the country, and we are willing tc
do anything in reason for them, but
we know that the council could have
continued occupying the hall without
mountaineering the boys
No maH knows why we arc paying
such cNHorbitant prices for engineer
ing service Our city engineers Of
fee i operated at an expense, as
am reliably informed, Of over $20(
per month for salary alone. Mr.
w doildilAhollt - plopdDlN Nol u
much more than that He is certain
'y a splendid engineer. But that !:
begging the question, for the city i
paying out vastly more money THAI
it should for such purpose We ar
not in financial condition to hire sucl
high-priced men.
Another instance OF cxhorbitan
salary is that Of our chief OF police
fire chief street commissioner, c
cetera The same money would hir
two men who would do the sam
work, saving nothing detrimental t.
! Johnny Behb either He does hi
work we'll, but we simply can't stant
The pressure. It is an outrage t.
squander such a large portion of OIL
revenues for such purposes
II we are to have such things as
result OF non-partisan government
then I say let us get back to a
economical basis unde- partisa
government as before. The presen
administration does not compare ia
vorably III the above, and many otl1
er respects. with any Of the previou
administrations. I don't care to tax
mp too much space in a discussion c
the different matters, but there ar
many points not touched and whicl
# this is published, I shall be gla
TO enumerate in the near future.

WOULD CUT up
HIS LARGE FARM
REAL ESTATE MAN TELLS WHAT
HE WOULD DO IF HE HAD $50
ACRES OF Iowa LAND.

People living in Iowa fail to recog
nize the value of land in the HaWkeye
state. Many are attracted to Texas
California and Canada by the flatter,
Ling advertisements Of the real estate
men who desire to dispose OF this
cheap land. If the people recognized
| the value of Iowa farm land they
would never leave the border OF the
state. Ten acres of good Iowa land
| means independence to a man and ne
can make a comfortable living on 1t.
| A real estate man of wide experience
j writing in the monthly magazine OF
the Des Moines Commercial associa-
ton. entitled Wealth says:
"If had q 32O-acre farm in Iowa l
would cut it up in ten and twenty
acre tracts and build a cottage on
each one; then l would say to the
man who is eking out an existence at
a desk in some large city, Come to-
Iowa; l will give you comfortable
home-one in the open, under Gods
canopy, where the sun shines 365 days
in the year and where there is always
reward for labor, where crops never
fail and where man, can make an in
come sufficient for himself and family
and save money from the product OF
ten acres:
81 would cite to him the hundreds OF
cases that are on file of men who have
taken ten-acre tracts and made them
yield from 500 to $1,000 per acre.
would show him that these men had
done these things without any other
aid than decent amount OF work and
some brains put back of the knowledge
Of farming that they had obtained
from the short courses in agriculture
that are held in all parts of Iowa dur
ing the winter.
81 would show him that here In Iowa
nature provided everything that is
necessary to success IN agricultural
pursuits; that there was no water to
pay for; there were no fires to build
to protect the fruit from frost. |
would say to him, Here Is this ten.
acre tract; take it, work It., cultivate
it, make it yield its full quota OF
wealth to YOU I would make him a
price on the land and allow him to pay
for it in yearly payments until event
ually he would own his own home and
at the some time have lived better,
been freer and more Independent than
he could ever have hoped to be at the
desk back in the crowded office where
he came from"
Shades of the spirits of real estate
men! Here is God-given opportunity
only waiting for someone of you with
the courage of his convictions and the
heart of real man in him. Thou
sands will call his name blessed, and
along with this will come such flood
of fortune as he never dreamed of,
even in the most sanguine moments
Of his youth.
There is not an acre of Iowa land
that will not pay for itself in one
year. Work, brains and good tudg-
ment are the ingredients that have to
be mixed to accomplish this result.

Drakesville. March 1e. 1911, aged 16
years, 6 months and IS days. She
united with the Christian church at
Pleasant Hill in 1909 and was devot-
led Christian girl until her death. She
was an unusually sweet spirited girl
and had smile for everyone. She died
as she had lived, with a smile on her
hips. The funeral services were held at
the Pleasant Hill Christian church,
where she had been the organist for
several years, conducted by E. A.
Hastings Of Bloomfield Friday March
III, and the largest concourse OF PEG.
pie that lad ever assembled at that
place were present to witness their
grief and esteem in which she was
held. The whole community is in
mourning and the parents are heart
broken. She will be greatly missed i'll
the church and in the community, but
most of all in the home where her
presence was always an inspiration and
|benediction. This sorrow would be I'M
bearable were it not for the hope OF
the life beyond where there will be no
more death. The sympathy of the en-
tire community goes out to the be-

gone but her Christian spirit still lives
in !memory and all who knew her were
made better by her beautlful life

Some Priceless Documents Saved.
Commissioner of Education Andrew
S. Draper stated today the state
library contained 100000 volumes
100000 pamphlets and 100000 his
torical manuscripts. Two years age
Commissioners Draper transferred
from the state library proper to the
safe in his Office in the first floor the
original Washington proclamation
The original of Washington's farewell
address, the original manuscript OF
the state constitution and fifteen OF
twenty other priceless manuscripts, as
we'll as the Washington relics have all
been removed from the building to a
place of safety since the fire started.
Library Loss Into Millions.
Commissioner Draper said that
most of the manuscripts that have
been lost were original documents and
cannot be replaced The early Dutch
state library shelves which can be
duplicated in the open market today,
such duplicates would cost, according
to Commissioner Draper, $l,5OO,OOO,
but he says the value of the other
books and manuscripts because OF
their being relics is priceless.
Commissioner Draper estimated the
loss of hte documents and equipment
of the state library which could be
replaced. at $S,O00,00O. He has ar
ranged to carry on the work of his de-
partment in the state normal school.
Staring afresh in the northwest
aisle the fire got beyond the control
of the. flremen shortly before 10
o'clock. After several firemen had
been knocked unconscious by falling
debris, others were caught beneath the
shattered arches in the west wing.
A huge chimney that was consid-
cred unsafe also kept them at bay, and
this permitted the flames to gain re-
newed Roadway. Dense smoke curled
from both the northwest and south
west and splits of blush haze shot
forth from the windows on the north
side, opening from the garrett. Fire
man Bennett was overcome in the
southwest angle and removed in an
ambulance.
Governor Dix was on hand before 10
o'clock and took personal direction OF
the salvage effects in the offices still
untouched. 1t was decided to remove
all the valuable books and records in
storage, the firemen being unable to
tell whether they could keep the
blaze under control. The assembly
chamber is a wreck.
Streams of water are coursing over
the rich carpets while the desks and
chairs are more of less ruined. In

Half Mil TAX for Hospital.

no opposition except in the second
ward. where Earl Bowermaster is op.

The special election for the establish.
ment of a half mill tax for county
hospital, however, is being closely
watched.
TIE scheme calls for q half mill tax
for fen wears, and if it is voted it will
be possible to put nearly the whole
amount that will be yielded into a
building, for sites have been offered
free. and number Of lodges and
churches have offered to furnish and
equip rooms and wards. The project
is being enthusiastically pushed and
MANY expect that it will be successful,
although there is some opposition to it
on account of the necessary tax.
