SENATOR MYERS
DEFENDS BILL

Senator Myers made the speech
in the senate Monday last in de.
Tense of the wool schedule of the
pending tariff bill. The Mon
tana senator was selected by
Chairman Simmons to make the
speech on account of Montana
being so much interested in the
sheep and wool industry and
wanted a man to explain the
workings of the proposed new
tariff in reference to this indus
try.
He said that the wool grow
ing business after nearly a CEN
tury of coddling and nursing was
a decadent business. Not only
does it not hold it's own but it is
on the decline. Are we to longer
stimulate it at the expense of
rifing the pockets of the hard
working masses in order to keep
it up?"
1t was Senator Myers opinion
that it the United States could
not compete with the world in
wool growing after nearly a CEN
tury of protection then it had
better go out of business. :" He
contended, however, that wool
growers could successfully com
pete without a tariff. In the
course of his speech, among
other things the senator said:
There has been some criti
cism of this measure by solici-
tuous friends of the west on ac-
count of the free raw wool pro-
vision in it. 1t is by many con-
sidered doubtful, from an equit-
able economic standpoint, if raw
should often bear a
tariff duty. Any tariff duty i'm
posed upon a raw product in
variably makes the cost of the
raw product greater to the manu-
facturer. He, in turn, will ask
not only for as great, or a great
er, degree of duty upon his fin
ished product but. in addition
thereto, he will ask for COM
pensatory duty that will recoup
or more than recoup him for the
increased price he will claim to
have been required to pay for
the raw product, and he invari-
ably gets it. Thus the poor con-
sumer is thrice taxed by the
tariff when he pays for the fin
lshed product.
"Wool is raw material. Its
production requires but little
abor. 1t requires not great fac
tories, filled with intricate and
delicate machinery, operated by
IN application of steam or elec-
,rical power and requiring labor
If skilled artisans and mechan-
clans, trained in the technical
pursuit Of turning out finished
product. Sunshine, rain, atmos-
ohere and grass, things not
owned exclusively by the indi-
vidual. but the common heritage
and privilege of all, do the great
est part in the work of it's pro-
duction; and in the west the
grasses have grown mostly on
public lands; but little labor is

is working to the advantage Of
homesteader. The requirements
as to improvements and culti-
walton are being relaxed and the
change will be appreciated by
many who find the conditions
such as to make it a burden to
comply with same in obtaining
title to the lands.
On October 81, 1912, Fred w.
Rehwald submitted testimony in
support of his communication proof
to tract of land in sections 10
and IA, township q north, range
q west, Montana meridian, the
land being northwest of Roman
about 10 miles. The testimony
showed that none of the land
had been cultivated, it being
classified as grazing land, and
was grazed by six animals. The
improvements were such as
would accommodate the entry
man and wife during the resi-
dence required of them. The
local land Office rejected the
proof on the grounds of non-cul-
tivation and an insufficient num-
ber of stock being grazed there
on. An appeal was taken to the
Commissioner of the General
Land Office at Washington, who
sustained the local land Office,
and an appeal was taken to the
Secretary of the Interior, who,
on May 27, 1918, rendered an
opinion reversing the local land
Office and the commissioner of
the general land Office, holding
that cultivation of the land was
not required where its character
is as arid as this tract, and that
such cultivation might be made
any time before patent and pay
ment of the water charges.
The opinion was rendered by
the Assistant Secretary of the
Interior and in full reads as fol-
lows:
''The Commissioner rejected
the proof upon the showing with
reference to cultivation. The
claimant stated in his proof that
none of the land had been plowed |
or cultivated, it having been
used entirely for the grazing of
six head of stock. The commits
sioner held that the grazing of
six animals on 100 acres Of land
was not sufficient to meet the re-
quirements of the law.
1t appears that this land was
classified as grazing land and
appraised at $3.50 per acre. 1t
is also within an area designated
for irrigation, and before patent
can issue, the land must be re-
claimed by irrigation of at least
one-half of the irrigable portion,
and the water charges must be
paid. However, if the use of
the land is found sufficient to
meet the ordinary requirements
of law, the proof should be ac-
cepted for that purpose and the
entryman excused from further
residence. In the opinion of the
Department, especially in view
of the arid character Of this
land, the showing is sufficient.
1t is therefore directed that the
proof be accepted upon payment
of the proper amount. The de-
cision appealed from is reversed.

required and that of the mos,
ordinary and unskilled character.
Once the original investment is
made, it requires very little cap.
ital to carry on the business: nc
expensive machinery has to be
kept in repair; no trained corps
OF skilled woreers has to be kept
on the payroll: nature does the
most Of it after the original in
vestment is made. Therefore,
wool is among the rawest of raw
materials. | ask, in order that
justice may be obtained in this
matter Gustice to all, not a few:
Is wool growing a proper indus
Try to be granted further pro-
lection? DO the wool growers
need protection? Does the gov
ernment need the revenue to be
derived therefrom? Would a
continuation of duty on raw wool
be justifiable?
I'VE should remember, too,
that a tariff tax on an article like
wool, which is produced at home,
is not like a tariff tax on tea and
coffee, which are not produced
at home. Every dollar of the
tariff tax paid by the consumer
on tea and coffee goes into the
treasury of the United States
and is used for the purpose of
defraying the expenses of the
government, which gives to the
taxpayer protection and security;
and thus the taxpayer, through
the benefits of government and
organized society; through pro-
lection of person, life. property,
home and family; gets back the
tax he has paid on his tea and
coffee; but it should be remem-
bered that every dollar of tax
which the consumer pays on
wool grown in this country or
woolen goods manufactured in
this country goes into private
pockets. 1t should be remem-
bered that six-sevenths Of the
money which a protective tariff
costs goes into the pockets of
private individuals. Out of every
seven dollars which a protective
tariff costs the people of this
only one dollar goes in
to the treasury of the United
States and six dollars goes into
the pockets of the privileged
class which enjoys the benefits
Of protection. Thus, six-sevenths
of the benefits of protection at
the expense of the common peo-
pie accrues to the privileged
class and only one-seventh goes
to the government.
II do not believe that free
raw wool will stop the growing
Df wool in this country, nor put
the wool growers out of business,
nor extinguish the indstry. We
nave the land, the soil, the clim-
lte, the rain, the water, the sun
shine, and we ought to be able to
with the world in grow
ng wool. The United States is
he only civilized country in the
world which maintains or ever
maintained a duty on raw wool.
There is no reason why it should
continue to do so. Wool has be-
come a necessity of life and | be-
ieve in putting the necessities of
ife on the free list, so as to be
within the reach of the great
masses of our toiling and strug-
Cling people. The masses of the

OLD BELL FINDS
ANOTHER ENEMY

The nerve grating and mournful
bell at the County Court House
which rings forth the hours of the
day and which has been objected TO
by many persons, has had another
kick registered against It. This
time. the complaint comes from a
former citizen who spent one night
recently at the Hotel DUPONT. In
speaking of the bell, he said
you have a hotel of which any
city should be proud. and the man
agement evidently spares nothing TO
look after the comfort Of its guests,
but with the court house clock toll
ing the hours the comfort of the
guests Is not complete by any means.

One of the sweetest missions Of wo-
manhood Is to say, some time or sew.
eral times, to some big. strong man
bowed under encouragement. Dear.
never mind" says Edna Worley.
There doesn't seem to be much sense
in those two words. 'never mind" but,
oh. how soothing they can be and how
much they mean when the woman says
them to the man!
They take the sting out of defeat.
They calm wrath and hate. They blunt
disaster They tighten the weight of
disappointment
The man may be strong. He may be
power In the world. And he may be
one of those who can never quite catch
up with the ones who are forging
ahead. But the man with power and
the man who is behind the procession
both come to the time when the only
thing that helps Is one wOman's "Never
mind"
Perhaps mother says 1t. You remem-
Der. don't you. when you took your
childish woes to mother and she listen.

And when you went out into the
world-the hurts that came to you:
you took them to mother. And again
mother listened and sympathized and
perhaps advised. Then. "Never mind.
You'll overcome It ALL"
Didn't 1t help heap? You went
forth again in new armOr.
And man never knows what a wife
can mean to him until that time comes
when his troubles seem too great to
bear: when he and his wife have that
Inevitable talk over affairs and when.
whether It's his own fault or the fault
Of others. the one woman looks into
his eyes and gently pats his cheek and.
Dear. never mind. Well manage
somehow"
It's only love that can say 1t. Per-

empty life indeed where there's nobody
to say to you some time. when the
