Abandoned, Notwithstanding the re-

At least he is satisfied the posts will
not be abandoned if their abandon

at Plentywood, Valley county, Mont.
Senator Dixon introduced a bill
authorizing the state of Montana to
cut half q million feet OF timber on

Petty Crafts Of Congressman.

One of the petty gratis OF congress
is the private secretary fund in the
house of representatives. 1t is Q aid
that probably two-thirds OF the con.
gressmen have2private secretaries and
pay them the full mount. OF the
remaining one.third many do not have
secretaries and pocket the $500 them
selves. Others name relatives and so
keep the money In the family. A ia.
vorite plan Ia said to be for five or six
members to pool and hire one secre.
tary between them.
1t would seem that congressman who
are receiving $500 q year, with q
cents q mile for travelling expenses
and IN allowance for newspapers snd
postage. would be content to let thu
money the public psys for their fur
ther assistance in the way Of clerks e
where it was intended.

Passed Metal Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The demo.
cratic metal tariff revision bill, max.
ing reductions averaging IS per cent
from the existing steel and iron duties
of the Payne-Aldrich law, passed the
house by 9 vote of 210 to 100.
Twenty insurgent republicans voted
for the measure, while the democratic
deleg alton from Colorado, Representa-,
tives Martin, Rucker and Taylor, dis
satisfied with the great reduction pro-
posed In the lead tariff, voted against
the democra attic majority.
The regular republicans protested to
the last against the application OF rules
closing the debate. MIR. Underwood
was charged by republican Leader
Mann with the RUTHLESS application
of the force Of the democratic majority.
Many attempts to strike out the Sec
tions of the democratic free list we're
made, but amendments by Mr.. Mann
to restrict the democratic free list.

iug their determina alton by q three
fourths vote.
Montana has such q law applying tc
civil cases and there is an apparent
sentiment In some quarters favorable
to its extension to include all
classes. 1t Is pointed out that appeals
are decided by a majority opinion in
the higher courts, state and national
aud that justice is not better served by
the requirement that juries shall b
unanimous in their verdicts. A dis
tinct advantage which would be gained
by the change is the likelihood o.
fewer dissgreements and hung juries
and q consequent reduction in the con
stautly increasing cost of litig ration.
Montana, Missouri and several 9th
er states have legslized the three
fourths verdict and an effort Is being
made to give it status in the New
York statutes. One of the arguments
advanced in New York is that the
need of an unanimous verdict results
in many compromises and is, at best,
only q survival Of the Oldest OF legal
tr traditions. 1t Ia possible, however,
to state the objection in much more
emphatic language without going be
yond the bounds of truth.
Instances have been known where
verdicts were prevented by one juror
whose motives may or may not have
been honest, but whose u Judgment Of
the facts and the evidence could moi
possibly have been superior to hat OF
the IL men who disagreed with him.
Such miscarriages Of justice cannot
occur-or at least are not likely to oc'
cur-where q majority or q three
fourths verdict is permissible. Mum
erous other illustrations might be
added, If it we're necessary to say
more to emphasize the fairness OF 8
common.sense method.-Great Falls

POLITICAL TARIFF REVISION.

The tariff should not be q politi-
clans tariff. It should be q business
mems tariff. This mesns that ii
should be made in q business-like
way, with the sam competence, hon.
esty, intelligence and disregard OF
politics IS business men conduct their
business and require facts relating to
the conduct of business.
The Taft tariff board is an attempt
to render tariff making q business in.
stead OF 9 pawn ia the political game,
says the Spokesman.Review 1t ts a
move in the interest of stability 10
business, OF applying science to the
formation of custom duties, OF con-
serving the interests of American in
dustry and of promoting the welfare
of the consumer.
When the great economic changes
in Germany between 1870 and 1894
neceseitated thorough revision OF the
tariff, q governmental commission OF
81 representatives of the agrarian,
commercial and manufacturing inter.
ests spent FIVE years in preparing the
draft of q new tariff. This was so
adequate to its every purpose that it
made practicable the negotiation OF
tariff treaties with other nations,
treaties which prnteot German indus
tries and vet opeu tie O. ckets OF COM
p%etitors to German commerce. The
German tariff commission repaid the
time and labor put into its work a
thousandfold.
When the minority members OF the
present committee of the house on
ways and means declare that no tariff
on steel or iron or the products OF
either should be made without infor.
nation from the TAFT tariff board they
make q business proposal and are
justified by experience and by the ways
OF business. Our largest industrie;
keep experts 1T work constantly ascer'
tanning the facts on which every
branch of these industries depends
They send experts every where to learr

Low Wages For Steel Workers.

five per cent of the employees of the U.

ASSESSMENT

Commenting upon the action of the
commissioners and assessors In their
convention in Missouls last week, the
Billings Gazette has this to say re-
carding the "full valuation" basis of
assessment:
There are an increasing number OF
people who believe with the county
commissioners that it would be advis-
able TO change the manner OF assess
ing property for taxation purposes in
this state. At the Missoula conven
ton a resolution vas passed declaring
10 favor of assessing at the full value
and making corresponding reduction
In the levy. For some reason b as
SCISSORS present refused to endorse the
attitude of the commissioners, though
there ia reason to believe q number of
them are convinced Of its wisdom.
In Montana, and in q majority OF
the states, a practice has grown up
that practically forces every assessor
to violate tho plain letter of the law
and which, in effect, misrepresents the
actual wealth of every community. In
some states property valuations for as
sessment purposes are placed at any
where from one-half to one.third Of
market values and as q consequence
unnecessarily high levies have beer
adopted.
A sample of what this means in Vel
lowstone county is afforded by a com
parison of equalization BOARD figures
with real values. According to thu
former the assessable wealth of tn
county is q triAe less than eighteen
million dollars and the total levy TO
Billings-except for special improve
ment district levies-is 38f mills.
1t is apparent that II all propert,
in the county we're assessed at its full
value the levy would be just about Gu
In half. In other words, Yellowstone
wealth would be given as thirty-si
million dollars, instead of eightee
million, and the levy would be ninetee
mills. instead of thirty eight.
This showing would be infnitel
better for the county, and It woul
have the added recommendation {
complying with the law. But Il
change is not possible unless 1t
general throughout the state, as b.
been proved by IN attempt made la
year In Custer county and which 7
suited In wide complaint. But it
sensible and business-like and the d,
will come when tax payers will
mand it.

Taft Sounds Keynote.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 20. - President
Taft's three days. visit to Ohio began
In Cleveland today and before he re.
tired to his private q tonight the
president had spoken on peace and
arbitration, talked Ohio politics with
come OF the leading republicans of the
state and sounded the "keynote" for
the coming presidential campaign.
"Looking vel the record OF what
has been done," said the president,
sit seems to me that we are armed with
the facts and with the things accom-
plished sufficient to meet our enemy in
the open field and to overcome him In
the judgment of the impartial umpire.
It seems to me there is no occasion
for the republicans to fear the issue
with the knowledge OF the progress
that has been made in the last four
years, with their adoption OF progress
| sive principles indicated in their plat
form of 1908 and in the proposals Of
the administration since that time
