for all people who receive salaries as
a compensation for their services?
Every person is entitled to, and. ought
to receive compensation commensur-
ate; with what 1t costs him to live. We
grant this much to an engine or to
g. machine. Both are fed and kept in
the best condition to insure the maxi
mum output. No person should be
expected or compelled to work for
less. than a living wage. A system
which permits this sinks beneath
slavery, and starves men while they
labor.
How Trusts Do 1t.
The modern trust, and particularly
the. United States Steel corporation,
which almost every person not a. wage
Garner in Duluth refers to as an ex-
emplary capitalistic institution, does
not recognize the minimum wage
principle with its laborers, but 1t ap-
plies an entirely different rule for its
holders of preferred stock, who are
guaranteed a minimum dividend of
Z per cent annually on the par value
Of their shares. 49,
Ought to Work Both Ways.
If minimum dividend is good
thing for capital, is not a minimum
wage scale much more necessary for
labor? The output of the great steel
trust is sold at fixed monopoly
price. It has wavered but little in the
last IL years, while the wages of its
1aborers where there are no organi-
nations 80 up and down like a." bar
ometer IN accordance with the de-
nand for them and the supply avail
able. With the capitalist in trust it
is the security Of monopoly, and with
the laborer 1t ls the uncertainty Of
competition which bears him down
and forces him to work too often for
less than a living wage.
Laborer Always Loses.
If on account of depression the in
dustry in which the trust capitalist
owns stock fails to earn the minimum
dividend in any year, the loss IL
made: up for him during prosperous
years, but IL the, laborer is thrown
out of employment he and his fam
lily must bear the loss wholly them

=. Is There q Labor Question?
Now we have this situation; dur
ing prosperous times the =. laborer
works steadily or: unsteadily, at
wage barely above the bread line.
When times. are hard, in the Ian
guage Of President Taft, "God knows
how he lives" During the same Pc
Rod the trust capitalist, with his
minimum accumulattve dividend,
rests securely and luxuriankly be-.
hind his monopoly breast works.
And then men ask why do we have a
labor question in America?

just as the laborers are doing. The
ministers will win for obvious rea-
sons. The laborers' struggle is
mighty, against the most powerful
forces that have lived in any age, but
they also will win, because justice re-
quires it.

SKETCH OF SHERIFF
BRANNIN'S LIFE
Has Lived in Montana Since BOy
hood-Resided at Silver
City Four Years.

Joseph S. Brannin was born June
IA, 1883. in Grant county. New
Mexico. When but IL years old
he came to Montana with his par
ents, who made their home near
Silver City, where they continued
to reside for over four years, when
the family removed onto a ranch
near Melville in Sweet Grass coun-
ty. There he made his home un-
til he was killed. He was the first
of large family of children to be
called hence. He was an engineer
by profession, and worked short
time for a nursery company at
Helena and at other places in the
state, and also in California. He
leaves a widowed mother, his faith
er having died about five years
ago, seven brothers and five sisters.
He was single and stood highly
in the community where he lived.
He was temperate to the extreme
and of excellent habits. AS an
officer he was jealous in the dis
charge of his duty, fearless and
true. Because of his activity he
was hated and feared by the law
less element. To his zeal in try
ing to discover crime and the per.
petrators his death is attributed,
as it is known that he had incurred
the enmity of a number of men
over whose movements he kept
watch so closely as to be uncom-
Portable. That lowell and Ricketts,
plotted the attack which resulted
in his murder is generally accepted
as fact. While they probably
did not plan to kill him, it is Ger.
tain the attack by Ricketts, was
planned as move to enable lowell
to escape. AS he resisted to an
extent they had not calculated up
on and shot Ricketts,, lowell evi-
IDENTIFY concluded that unless he
took more desperate means, he,
too. might be shot, or at all events
his escape would be prevented. !.

MONTANA. RATES
CUT 20 PER CENT
Interstate Commerce Commission
Reduces Tariffs From the
Coast Cities.

Class freight rates from Tacoma
and Seattle, Wash, and Portland,
Ore, to points in Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and Montana, were
declared unreasonable last Friday
by the interstate commerce com.
mission and reductions averaging
about 20 per cent were ordered by
Jan. 2, 1912.
The decision of the commission
affects all the railways operating
in the Pacific northwest. The
proceedings were popularity known
as the back haul rate cases, in
which the railroads charge for the
back haul from Pacific coast ter
minals to intermediate points, al
though the freight is unloaded and
delivered on the westbound haul.
The carriers explained they
could not stand reduction of 20
per cent. Examination of the rev.
enues convinced the commission
ftlIaG the losses I'M u Jsfftf aggregate
only about one per cent of the net
operating expenses of the lines.

BOY BROWNS TRYING
TO SAVE BROTHER
Two Young Boys Drowned in the
Smelter Lake Near East
Helena.

Frank Dibert, aged 13, and his
brother, Arthur, aged II, were
drowned last Saturday while skat-
ing on the smelter lake at East
Helena. Frank lost his life trying
to save that of his younger bro
ther. The bodies were dragged
from the lake by employees of the
smelter and taken to the power
house, where physician worked
over them more than an hour, but
all efforts at rcsuscitation were
futile.
Arthur was skating near the up
per end of the lake and came too
near the open water. The ice sud
denly crumbled beneath him and
with a scream he sank in the wa
ter. Thirteen-year-old Frank, with
no thought of his own peril, swift
ly skated up to the assistance of
his brother. When he reached
him the rotten ice cracked and he,
too, went into the water.
A few minutes later a boy
rushed into the machine shop at
the smelter with news of the acci-
dent. A crew of men ran down to
the lake, waded in, picked up the
bodies and rushed with them to
the power house, where efforts at
resuscitation we're made in vain.

HANKS GIVING

Let us be thankful-not alone because
Since last our UNIVERSAL thanks were told
We have grown greater IA the worlds applause
And Fortunes newer smiles surpass the DID,
But thankful for all things that come as aims
From out the open hand Of Providence
The winter clouds and storms the summer ca,ms
The sleeping dread, the browse of Incidence.
Let us be thankful thankful for the prayers
Whose gracious answers were long long DELAYED
That they might fall upen us unawares
And bless as IN Greater need prayed.
Let us be thankful for the loyal hand
That love held out Ii. welcome to our own
When love- and only love- could understand
The need of touches We had never known.
Let us be thankful for the longing eyes
That gave their secret to us as they wept,
Yet in return found with sweet surprise,
Loves touch upon their lids and smiling slept
And let us, too, be thankful that the tears
OF sorrow have not all been drained away
That through them still for all the coming years.
We may look ON the dead face of today.

LARGE co. MEETING
AT HEDGESvILLE
Many From the South and Eastern Parts Of County
We're Present---A Voted in Favor
Of Dividing the County

Last Monday several of GU
business men drove over to Hedges
vile to attend the meeting hell
there in the interest of the new
county. In spite of the weathe
being very cold and disagreeable
there was very good crowd pre-
sent, and very enthusiastic meet
ing was had, several being present
from the southern and eastern por
tions of the county.
Mr.. H. J. Giltinan was made
chairman of the meeting and pre-
sided in his usual able manner
Mr.. A. T. Anderson of Harlowton
was called ON to outline the objects
OF the meeting, and gave a very
interesting and instructive talk,
outlining the work so far accom-.
plished toward county division,
and giving a very liberal estimate
OF the expense of maintaining the
new county when created, based
on the present expenditures of run
ming Meagher comfy, which show
that with an economical govern
ment the new county can be run
with as low, if not lower, tax rate
than we have now. Messrs. Nc
Cam, Giltinan, Pirrie, Ashley,
Stevens, and others were called on
to express their views on the sub
ject, and all seemed to be heartily
in favor of the new county.
After an informal discussion of
several points that came up for
discussion, a straw vote was taken
by ballot and not a single vote
was cast against county division.
1t was then moved and carried
that ways and means commit
tee be appointed to assist in the
work through this section of the
county and the following were
named as the committee: Mr..
Halbert, Bercail; Mr.. Cannon,
Rothiemay; Mr.. Crawford, Shaw
NUT; Mr.. Shanahan, Nihill; Mr..
Ashley, Hedges. The meeting ad-
journed, peace and harmony pre-
vailing.
Although there were a number
of outsiders in Hedges that day to
stay all night and some of them
did not engage their rooms until
late in the evening, everyone was
provided with good comfortable
bed, and no one had to sit up all
night or sleep in chairs.
FIGURES AND FACTS
In making up these figures, the
salaries of the officers of Meagher
county is paid out of the general
fund. We took % of the general
expenses of Meagher county for
the expenses of the proposed new
county, besides the salary of coun-
ty officers, making the general ex-
penses of the proposed new county
greater than the old county of
Meagher.
