Valuation Of Railroads.


Washington, D. c. - Physical val
hation of all the railroads of the
United States is authorized in a bill
reported by the interstate and foreign
commerce committee. The measure
enlarges the power of the interstate
commerce commission and empowers
it to make the valuation for the pur.
pose of fixing and adjusting rates.
The legislation has been pressed upon
congress for several years, but up to
the present time always had failed of
favorable action.

Of Congress.

Washington, d. C. - The senate
last night, by a vote Of 81 to 16, reject
ed the Sherwood dollar-a-day pension
bill, which had passed the house, and
enacted the Smoot general age and
service pension law which, it is esti.
mated, will increase the pension roll
by $20,0O0,000 annually during the next
five years.
During the debate, Senator Over

gan.
What Bill Requires.
The bill requires beneficiaries to
have served 80 days and provides pen
sions ranging from $13 to $50 month,
instead of 60-day minimum and SIS
to $50 pension, as in the house meas
ure. The bill now goes to conference
with the house. The shadow of pos
sible presidential veto hangs over the
measure.
The senate added provisions that
would grant $50 month to former SOL
diers disabled by service, wounds or
disease, the latter being estimated to
add $2,500,000 to the annual outlay I'M
der the bill.
The entire negative vote on the final
passage of the bill was cast by Demo-
cratic senator's from Southern states.
The Northern Democrats voted with
the Republicans for the bill.
The 81 senators whose vote rejected
the house Sherwood bill, the real con-
lest of the day, were: Chiffon, West
Virginia; Culbertson, Texas; Foster
and Thornton, Louisiana; Hitchcock,
Nebraska; Johnson and Gardner,
Maine; Johnston, Alabama; Kern and
Shively, Indiana; Lea, Tennessee,
MARITIME, New Jersey; Overman and
Simmons, North Carolina; Owen, Okla
homa; Percy and Williams, MISSISSIPPI
pi; Rayner, Maryland; Swanson, Vir-
ginia; Smith, Georgia, and Smith,
South Carolina.
On this vote the Northern Demo-
Gratis voted in the negative because
they preferred the Sherwood bill and
the Southern Democrats because they
opposed both the house bill and the
senate measure.

Sunday. The regular hours are
as follows: Sunday school at

The very important matter of

fore the people Of Roman. For
this reason the subject for the
sermon on Sunday will be related
to the local civic welfare of the
community. This is a subject
that all are interested in and
ought to look at from a religious
standpoint. Especially, all voters
are invited to be present to find
out what the Bible has to say in
regard to the management Of
city affairs.
There will be preaching SER

voters at the primaries. 1t is
true that there is no provision,
in Minnesota, for example, to
cover cost and method of obtain
ing a popular vote on the candi-
dates. That puts the whole ques-
tion up to the committees back
ing the aspirants. 1t should be
an easy matter to agree on a
simple means of registering pub
lie opinion. The expense should
not be prohibitive. Neither the
Roosevelt nor the Taft hackers
would hesitate to contribute
whatever might be properly ex-
pended in connection with the

stacle to stand in the way of put

Missoula Primaries

Primaries were held in Mis-
soula Monday last to select cam
didates for mayor and two other
members of the commission, that
city now operating under the
commission plan of government,
composed of the mayor and two
councilmen or commissioners.
Five men were entered as candi-
dates for the mayorality and
eleven for commissioners.
The present mayor, John M.
Evans, was a candidate for re-
election and he was opposed by
James M. Roades, Anton F.
Leidtke, H. M. Small and James
L. Wallace. The vote stood Evans
1923, Leidtke 28l, Rhoades 954,
Small PIP, Wallace 621.
1t is thought that the contro-
versy between Mayor Evans and
Commissioner Peat caused many
to vote against both men as they
both fell way behind the other
commissioner Mr.. Price in the
totals.
For commissioners the four
high men were Price S19, Reely

milch COWS has increased nearly
81, 900, 600 in two years. There
now are 13, 473 more milch COWS
in Montana than there were in
1910, while the number Of range
cattle has decreased from 865,
GOO in 1910 to $4,000 in 1912.
Swine have increased 43, 739
head in these two years, too.
Thus, in big round figures,
dollars and cents, the amazing
story of Montana's agricultural
development is forcibly told.
But let not the easterner get
the impression that Montana is
fast becoming overcrowded with
people, milch cows, horses and
swine. Far from it. Italy is
about one fourth smaller than
Montana in area. Yet Italy has

Let the People Choose

The political trend at present
is back to the people, toward
making them supreme. The
leaders Of no party or faction can
afford to ignore that fact by de-
clining to make any effort within
reason to further the introduce
tion of the preferential presiden-
tial primary. The people should
be given an opportunity to say
who shall be their candidates.
There is no nomination in which
the voters are more interested
ace concerning which they have
better defined views. Practic-
ally every citizen has his own
choice among the presidential
aspirants and knows why he has.
He should be given opportunity
to express his preference, and
any man who has the support of
the largest number in his party
should be the nominee.
Colonel Roosevelt is correct
when he contends that it is not
a case Of changing the rules dur
ing the game. 1t should be an

pie. The only way to make it
such is to get away from any
rules that makes it anything

sentiment, and to appeal to the

Winter Wheat Condition

Farmers report winter wheat
as having come through the Win
ter so far in fine condition. Should
there be no severe freezes and
sudden thaws after this it is
thought all the acreage will be
in prime condition when warm
weather starts it growing again.
G. E. Marple was in the Pio-
neer office Tuesday and stated
that he had examined several
fields of fall wheat and found
them all in good condition. He
said that he was satisfied of one
thing and that was that the real
late sown wheat was doing fine
and that there was absolutely no
question but what it would all
come out and make good crops.
Some controversy has existed
heretofore in his mind as to the
advisability of late sowing, but
that after a full investigation of
several fields of very late sowing
he is satisfied now that tits prac-
tical and profitable, more so than
spring SOWn grain.
1t will be pleasant news to
many farmers who have not ex-
amined fall wheat to know that
other acres are doing we'll and
that the prospects are good for
the coming season.

Timely Warning

Beware of apple blight. Look
ahead and plan wisely to avoid
heavy loss from this disease.
Some varieties Of apples resist it
but others do not. The Alex
ander and the Transcendent crab
are very susceptible. The blight
kills them root and branch. That
is why Transcendents bring
such a good price; no one can
raise them after the blight ap-
pears. Take warning now and
do not plant any more orchards
to these two varieties. It has
been proved over and over, in
other states and in our own, that
when blight reaches a valley
those varieties go down and out,
no matter how profitable they
were before that time. They
not only suffer themselves, but
prove hotbeds of infection for
surrounding orchards of other
varieties.
If you have ordered stock Of
either of these two varieties for
planting in the spring, get it
changed at once. If your neigh
Dor has placed such an order,
warn him for his sake, your sake
and the sake of the orchard in
terest where you live. Make
the change now. 1t will be
much easier than after the trees
are set out. ID. R. Swingle,

HOmesteader Shot

]. A. Potter, a homesteader
living near Flathead station just
west of Arlee, was called from
his tent last night after dark,
and when he answered the sum-
mons was shot through the back,
the bullet passing through his
body and lodging under the skin
on his left breast, says the Mis-
soulian.
He was brought to the railway
by a neighbor, whose name was
said last night to be Brady. Med
ical aid was summoned and No.
5, fortunately at Arlee at the
time, carried a surgeon.
Potter was able to talk, though
very weak. He said he had no
idea who shot him. He had no
enemy that he new of and had
had no trouble over his place.
He had seen nobody about during
the day except a young Indian.

North Dakota Primaries
Gives State to LaFOllette

LaFollette made a clean sweep
in the North Dakota primaries
held on Tuesday of this week,
polling more votes than both
Roosevelt and Taft. Returns
received up to this morning show
LaFollette's plurality to be not
less than $4,000, or 10000 more
than both Taft and Roosevelt.
Taft's vote will not be much
above 5000 in the state, while
Roosevelt polled something over
$4,000.
LaFollette's adherents are iu-
bilant from the fact that the first
presidential primary gave him
such an overwhelming victory
and it is claimed that this
is only the beginning of a big
LaFollette wave that will sweep
the country. The result is taken
as indicating that Taft's reac-
tionary stand will not be toler-
ated by present day republican
ism; also that the half way pro-
pressiveism of Roosevelt is not
approved.
