to 200, 000, 900 bushels. Europe is now
taking wheat in good volume. In the
last week of August the shipments
were 13,6O0,000 bushels. This wheat
crop should count. heavily in our in
ternational trade.
But the figures have a still wider
significance. With the tariff wall
down Saskatchewan differs from Ne
braska only in distance from Chicago
or Liverpool. Western Canada is
looking for 200, 900 bushels of
wheat. All Canada and the United
States together mean a billion bushels
of wheat. That is fully %one-fourth of
what is claimed for the world crop
this year. Not alone our W people,
but those with whom we do business
across the seas can feel easy about
their bread supply.

Record Yield for Barley

Bozeman, Sept. 25.-What is be-
loved to be a worlds record yield of
barley was threshed out last week by
r. A. Walton on the Northedge farm,
just at the northwest limits of Boze-
man. Eighty-two bushels of six-rowed
harley to the acre was the enormous
average yield of the field shown when
six acres had been threshel out on
Saturday night.
This ranch belongs to j. H.. Durston,
editor of the Butte Daily Post, who
rented the land to Mr.. Walton. FIRE.
quent yields of IS to "a bushels to the
acre have been reported this year, as
in every year since barley has been
grown in the Gallatin valley, but this
is the record breaking yield here.
The Gallatin valley produces what
is believed to be the best barley in
the world and annual shipments are
SEN abroad to Germany and Austria
liza, where they command prices con-
slderably above the ordinary material.
Now the Gallatin is endeavoring to
set the record for the yield of barley
per acre.

Many Land Seekers Disappointed

Glasgow, Sept. 26.-The Fort Peck
lottery is history and the people of
the United States will never again
have the opportunity to register for a
chance on a farm in as large a tract
of land. Several hundred disappoint-

the matter of the lottery.

that she had made the long and ar
duous trip in vain, and that she had
simply been deluded by a fakir.

A SURPLUS OF WHEAT

The government crop report shows
that the United States is holding its
position as a producer of wheat, and
that a large portion of the worlds
supply is produced in North America.
The government estimate of this
years crop is $4,000, 900 bushels. the
largest amount ever harvested by
American farmers.
According to the Wall Street Jour-
nal a crop of 754, 1000, 900 bushels of
wheat means $50 bushels per capita.
This compares favorably with last
years final yield of 1857 bushels per
capita, and, virtually, even with 1872
bushels, the average for the decade
ending with 1910. A little fact like
this puts to rout the gloomy predict

OFFICIAL PAPER OF cnoUTEAu COUNTY
UNJUST TAXATION

Tie proposition to impose a license
tax upon the product of Montana
mines is the subject of adverse criti-
c;sm and protest by the interests that
would be affected. They condemn
the proposed reform as unwise and
unjust. Reference to the Montana
tax laws, however, supports the claim
that the new form of taxation would
remove an injustice that results from
methods that have hitherto prevailed.
Under the provisions of Section 3,
Article XII, of the state constitution,
mining claims containing gold, silver,
copper, lead, coal, or other valuable
mineral deposits, are assessed at the
price paid the United States therefor,
and also upon their net annual pro-
ceeds. All other classes of property
in Montana are required to be as
sessed at their full cash value" BY
reason of this discrimination, the own
ers of mining property estimated to be
worth hundreds of millions Of dollars
pay only a small proportion Of the
state taxes, while owners of other
l:inds Of property bear most of the
expenses incident to the conduct of
public affairs.
A tax law that applies only to the
net profits of n class of property
owners, while other citizens are taxed
upon the full cash value of all the
property from which they are sup
posed to derive profit, is SO gross
~ unfair and unjust as to be inde-
feasible. If the net proceeds or pro-
f,s from any class of property are the
proper basis for taxation, the anne
rule should apply to all forms of tax
:'ble property. The Montana farmer,
stockman, merchant and other own
ers of taxable property should be &C
corded treatment similar to that ex-
tended to the mine owner, and pay
taxes upon their net annual income.
Efforts to remove this unjust tax
discrimination have been successfully
sisted by the beneficiaries of the
exemption they have enjoyed. In
each legislative assembly for several
year past, a ChOuteau county men,
bcr has introduced a bill providing
Cor the submission of a constitutional
amendment that contemplated the re-
n;oval of this discrimination, and
Placed all classes of property upon
All equal footing for assessment pur-
poses. This proposition was defeat
ed by the mining interests, at each
legislative session.
In view of this refusal to permit
the people to vote upon a proposed
amendment to the constitution, a bill
has been prepared by the direct leg
islatioM league-a non-partisan organ
i1ation-which provides a license tax
upon the output of Montana mines.
1t is expected the measure will be
submitted to popular vote at the next
general election, and its provisions
will form an interesting topic for dis
cussion from time to time.
In a message to the legislative as
6e,Ebly several years ago, Governor
'Toole made these significant re-
marks: Equal and just taxation of
all property in the state at its actual
value, is the indispensable condition
upon which general contentment and
prosperity rests" 1t should be the
enleavor of every patriotic and fair
minded citizen to effect a change In
our tax laws that will remove unjust
discrimination by which special priv
ileges have been extended.
