VIII vote for or reject nineteen amend
nentS to The constitution OF the state.
Every one Of these amendments are
worthy the hearty support of the
vsters of the state, AMI we hope will
receive it. However, there is one
Amendment, the Tax Amendment, that
is Of especial Importance to every tax.
payer of the state, and should have the
unqualified support of every voter who
has the best interests Of the masses Of
the people of the state at heart. BY
means Of this amendment the property
upon which the state will levy taxes
for It's support will be separated from
that upon which the parishes and
towns will levy taxes. This has the
advantage Of forcing a number OF
large corporations and concerns that
have hitherto practically escaped the
greater portion of The burden Of tax

the support Of the state administration
1t will also permit the local assessing
powers to raise the value OF assessable
property upon which the locality leYys

Quarter Million
Northwest

Montana, Oregon and Minnesota,
combined, can provide homes for a
quarter million people and give each
man a deed to a 100 or 800 acre farm.
under the provisions Of Uncle Sans
homestead laws.
Montana won the premium for the
best wheat, oats, barley and alfalfa
grown in the United States at the
New York Land Show, and she has
more than twenty million acres of
government land within her borders
capable of raising rich crops of these
products yearly. You can homestead
this land.
Central Oregon has been opened to
settlement by the completion of the
Oregon Trunk Railway. Crops raised
on Its bench lands won against the
world at the last Dry Farming Con-
gress. Seventeen million acres of good
farm land await the coming of the

Minnesota, contrary to general opin-
ion, has over twenty million acres OF

of 1t is homestead land. Most of it
