TAXATION Of Idle LAND
(By Q. w. Avery.)
The Present System.

1n0 KI00o0G Sy9Cem.
It would be hard to conceive Of
. worse system than the one we
have In Montana. Many elements
Of property escape taxation entire
". while double burden il placed
on others. Mortgages are taxed ii
the owner lives in the state. II he
Is an outsider his mortgages are not
taxed.
Moral: Live outside the state.
Money loaned on mortgage secur-
ity by residents Of the state are tax
ed to the loaner as securities, and
the land or property on which the
security rests Is taxed at its full val
ue without any exemptions. to the
owner thereof. the loaner and the
borrower both paying full taxes on
the same property. We are told that
money loaned by outsiders is not
taxed. in order to encourage money
to come into the state.
The answer is simple. If outside
capital will not bear its just share
OF taxation, then we do not want it.
Again, we are told. II we tax
mortgages interest will go up. Now.
let US stop this childish nonsense.
Tax mortgages to the person in
whose favor they are drawn. Elk
empt the property on which they
are based to the extent OF the
mortgage and tax that portion to
the owner of the security. Then
we have gotten down to sound
principles Of taxation. Interest will
take care of itself, but let US quit
mixing the question OF interest and

and may die. The woman was inter
cepted as she was escaping from Mr..
Rodlxinson's office after she had commit
ted the crime and Immediately fired a
bullet into her own body. Her wound
is not serious. rHr
The affair, according to the allegations
Of Miss Siede's friends, was brought
about by the interruption Of long stand
ing relations between her and Mr.. Rod
kinson, and his refusal to support her
two children.
Mrs. Robinson, however, asserts that
1T was an attempt at extortion on the
part of Miss Siede. who had been a
servant of the family years ago in Rus
STA.
Mr.. lRodlIinson is a director Of the
American chamber Of commerce here
and has represented American firms for
many years in Germany and Russia. He
had some exciting experiences during the
Russo-Japanese war, when he was con-
cerned in an attempt to sch South
American war ships to Russia. He is
a native of New Orleans.

NEW FARM METHODS
SHOW BIG INCREASE

THOMASVILLE, Ca, Jan. 81. G.
Beverly. retiring farm demonstrator for
this district, gives out some interest
ing statistics in regard TO the work
done during his term of office.
From the "a farms in this county
where corn was cultivated both accord
ing to the old and the new methods, the
result shows total yield of 1,O24 bush
els by the new methods and a4 by the
old. The average per acre was 422O by
the new method and 1908 by the old.
On the % farms where cotton was
grown according to the new method,
the total yield was 1880 pounds for the
new method as against 1850 for the
old. The average per acre was 1850
for the new method and 620.45 for the
old. BY the new method over a bale Of
cotton to the acre is the average, while
by the old, less than half bale was
the usual yield
Mr.. Beverly thinks that this work is
only in its inception and q few more
years will see the farmers generally
adopting the new methods rs used In the
demonstration work and he expects to
see some phenomenal yields reported
from Thomas county. Mr.. J. A.. Chas-
tain the new demonstration, has taken
charge of the work and is also very
enthusiastic over it and IS himself one
of the farmers OF the county who has
been trying the new methods with great
success.

FEDERAL. PAY FOR MILITIA SERVICE
URGED BY GENERAL EVANS u. S. A
Chief of Division of Militia Affairs Could Not Combine Witt
Army in War-Compete Reorganization Urged

Touching the proposition to pay for
militia service, General Evans says it is
believed the limit Of sacrifice that can
be asked Of the militia under the pres
ent laws and without compensation has
been almost reached.
Called into active service the militia
would contains only about a per cent of
the war Strength 70 which it should
be raised. SHOWING, In General Evans
opinion, great need for a reserve force.
The United States is the only power
which provides no reserves, and General
Evans suggests a scheme for the crea-
ton OF one based ON an enlistment pc
Rod OF seven years, not less than two
nor more than three Of which shall be
served with the colors. Even as or
ganized, the general AYERS, the militia
is so unbalanced in the proportion of
cavalry and artillery TO infantry as to
be impossible OF combination with the
regular army in time of need.
