STATE MERCHANTS

WOULD RATHER GIVE AWAY
GOODS THAN CHEAT.

Helena, Jan. 1.-(Special.)-That the
Montana merchant is honest in his
weights, and that wherever there is a
question of giving or taking the dealer
gives to the customer rather than
takes from him, is the experience of
Joseph Corby of Butte, state inspector
of, weights and measures. Mr.. Corby
in the operation of his office has
visited a majority of the merchants of
the state in his official capacity, has
tested their weights and measures, and
this, was the opinion he expressed.
when it comes to package goods
said Mr.. Corby, lit is a different story.
Ninety per cent of the package goods
sold in Montana is to the loss, of the
purchaser, and this is because we have
no legislation covering the matter. The
butter packages are all right, but
cereals and other carton goods give no
! weight, though they are sold to the
merchant by weight, In these goods
the consumer has no protection what

SO far as the coming of immigrants
from China, Japan, and Korea is con-
cerncd, conditions are now regarded as
satisfactory. The Chinese Exclusion
law operates so well, ard the agree
ment with Japan is carried out with
such good faith by the japanese gov
eminent, that there are no changes
recommended by the immigration com
mission. But there is another tide #
Asiatic immigration that is giving
much concern to the Pacific coast.
This is the stream of humanity coming
from India. These East Indian coolies
are Aryans, and belong to that immi-
grant tide which swept out of the
cradle of the race far up in north
western Asia, and down through the
lands of the Modes and Persians into
India. But, according to the findings
of the immigration commission they
| are from no point of view, desirable
members of the community. The Brit
ish government, h subjects they
are, accedcd a few years ago to Can
ada's desire to exclude them. That
turned the tide to the Pacific coast
of our own country. The commission
recommends that steps be taken to in
duce the British government to stop
their coming to the United States by
the same policy that Japan prevents
Japanese labor from coming.
The East Indians are entering the
United States at the rate Of about a
thousand a-year. of these nearly
seven-eighths are Hindus wearing the
| turban. The first important immigra-
.i,, Of Ia ct Indian La hDrGrc into the
United states came from British Column
bia, where, as a result Of the activity
| of steamship agents and the spread of
Canadian literature in India, there
| arrived OVer 5000 Of them in four
years. AS soon as Canada decided that
these immigrants were Bile,
they were denied admission unless
coming direct from their native land
upon through tickets The amount of
| money required to be shown was also
advanced from $25 to $500. Since
there are no steamship lines direct to
Canada from India, the inten of Can
ada to exclude the East Indian is plain.
The Hindu laborers who had already
come to Canada soon found that the
winters Of that country were too rig
orous for them, and furthermore, That
the lumber mills and salmon industry
in Washington and oregon Offered bet~
ter wages han they Were getting in
British Columbia. OF course, when a
laborcr could get $l,G0 a day for his
work on this side of the line, and only
so cents to SIPS a day on the Other
side, he was not long III crossing the
! line.
But when Canada barred her bound
aries against them, immigration from
British Columbia soon exhausted the
supply, and those who come now are
directly from India. Considered by the
government as the most undesirable
class of immigrants who ever came tC
American shores, a policy of most
rigid inspection has been adopted al
Pacific coast ports, and II there is any
possible reason for excluding a Hindu

THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1913.
CITY ECONOMY.

Next Monday representative BUSH
ness men will consult with the city
commissioners to discuss the wisest
ways and means for reducing city ex-
penses and for conducting city bust
ness as the affairs of a private con-
Germ would be managed. There is a
good deal of informal discussion go
ing on, these days, pending the formal
conference. We believe the question
and that the conclusions reached will
be the result of friendly consideration
and honest inquiry.
There has been too much captious-
ness in much of the talk which has
been going on regarding the manage
ment of the city's affairs. We do not
believe that the motive is honest which
has prompted a lot of this talk. AT
the first conference in the city hall
and at the citizens meeting on the
south side, the other night, the atti-
tude Of some of the participants was
neither dignificd nor calculated to get
at a correct solution of municipal
problems.
If these questions are to be squarely
met. they must be squarely APP
preached. There can be no Hypocrisy
or deceit in the consideration of these
matters if a fair solution is to be
reached. The city commissioners, we
are. sure, are anxious to do what is
best for the city; they are willing, we
believe, to accept such counsel as is
given in the right spirit.
The commissioners statement of eN-
penses for the year past is oncour-
aging in many of its features. The po-
lice department, since Commissioner
Houston beca me its head, has cost the
city s1O,3S3.26; the department has
collected in fines $G,161.45. The re-
duction in the cost of this department
for the whole year has been nearly
$4,000. Certainly that is a good show
ing. IN the street department, the
showing is similarly gratifying.
The operating cost of the city has
received important reductions lately:
it is being brought down to the lowest
limit possible consistent with eff
Cheney. whatever unsatisfactory on
ditions are found in a statement of
the financial standing of the city are
not due to present management of the
Gi'y's business. as far as opeca:inF cE-
penses are concerned. The heavy bur
den of expense is to be found in the
items of interest, light and water.
There are suggestions to be made at
tie meeting next Monday; these sug-
gestions will be made in the desire to
IMPROVE the local situation; they will
be offered in a friendly spirit. There
will be no personal animus back OF
them: there will be no desire to pici
a quarrel. We believe the approach
ing meeting will be beneficial; we are
sure of this because of the spirit which
prompts the conference,

WATER AS A MENACE

Water is one of the great gifts Of nature to mankind.
If controlled and directed, water is a boom When it runs
wild, it becomes a devastating agent. The stream which
furnishes power becomes a means Of destruction if it gets
beyond control. So it is with the water which makes the
stocks of some of the big corporations fairly soggy with
saturaton-it is, in this form, a menace to prosperity.
Here in Montana we have had no little experience with
the watering of stocks. Only recently We have seen mil
lions created by the scratch of a pen. We are in posi-
ton, then, to appreciate a discovery which the people Of
Kansas have made.
Two years ago, the Kansas legislature directed the pub
lic-utilites commission to investigate the physical valua-
ton of the railways within the state. The commission has
just completed the work as regards the Union Pacifics
Kansas lines. The valuation was ordered so that the state
would have a basis for fixing freight rates. The state
now has these figures to study:
Union Pactfcs Kansas lines could b reproduced fol ssss7s a mile,
Tine h ee"ssn 1s1i has ssa g s somD aiva lem a IA "a "a Saiaa tic 4 Of 14ss s' g mile.
The value on which the company pays taxes in Kansas
alton not only the value Of the property-actual and physi-
|cal-but also the value of franchises and the intangible
value which is given a going concern
When the Union Pacific was built through Kansas, the
government gave the company a right OF way four hundred
feet wide and four hundred miles long. The company did
not pay a penny for this right Of way, but the value Of this
land is now taken into consideration to determine the actual
value of the property.
The Union Pacific has issued capital stock for $50, AS
a mile; it's bonded debt is $57, 246 a mile. Thus the total,
$4,000 a mile, represents the book value of the property
or the amount which is supposed to be invested in the line.
This book value is nearly eight times the actual value and
four times the taxable value OF the property, but Kansas
has to pay freight and passenger rates which will return
dividends and interest upon this book value. Parts Of
these lines in Kansas could be reproduced, the commits
sion says, for $4,000 a mile. Yet the line is burdened
with the necessity of earning dividends upon a capitalized
value of about ten times the cost OF reproduction.
This is a situation which explains the real cause OF the
difficulties of which the railways complain, when they as
sert their inability to meet expenses if rates are controlled.
1t is also an explanation Of the high cost OF living, for this
same over-capitalization exists in other lines OF industry
than the railways. Excessive capitalization means exces-
Sive cost to the consumer.
