DUTY is DUTY.

Editor Missoulian:
Your editorial of the 10th "hits the
nail on the head" The duty of the
university faculty is to carry on the
work Of instruction. What is it that
every student of the university is
talking about all the time. Consolida-
ton, not study, is the prevalent
theme. The number of bulletins and
opinions that have been received by
the faculty is evidently Of greater im>
portance than the question Of instruc-
ton.
Everyone admits tina the separa>
ton of so many allied institutions
was worse than a crime-it was a
blunder.r Naturally enough, it is OF
interest to the students, but they win
be surely better occupied with their
studies and may safely leave the mat
ter in the hands of those more ca
pable of forming judgments thar is
possible for boys and girls, many of
whom have sc recently left the high
school. ...z@w .m

in Butte, do you suppose? AT first it
appeared that so many supposed
the consolidated university must
be in this city. This is an impossible
ity now, n surely no commission
would advise that the School of Mines
should be removed from it's present
logical situation.
l am a late arrival in this city, but
know something Of the conditions ex>
listing for SO many years. I would
like to have a clear statement of how
many hours each professor or in
%structor has spent in actual instruc>
ton in the class room during the last
four weeks hat sessions have beer
held. This is very impertinent, some
win say; others may agree that it is
pertinent to the matter. 1t would, at
any rate, be very instructive, and may
have considerable bearing on the
statement now made thai "the uni
versity amounts to nothing"

tendance of thousands; hat will come
University of Montana, as it is now
established, will be ready and able to
take care of the thousands. The
growth of a university is like the
growth of a tree; even with the most
favorable conditions, the one indis-
rensab1e element of growth is time.
OPPORTUNlTY-The opportunity
for doing the greatest good to the
greatest number of Montana's young
people is greater now than it could
possibly be with a consolidated insti-
tuition. It is asserted-and we believe
it to be true-that the Montana young
people who are now attending the
ton outnumbcr the local students in
other western states, according to
are consolidated. The charter Of the
state university, which was quoted
yesterday by the leader of the CONSOLE
G~ationists. gives this institution all the
lrcNav that could be desired IN the
matter of development. That instru-
nrnt cuuips the institution to do all
The work of higher education which
the states needs viii ever demand, and
the further ability to meet these de-
nunds viii come with the same growth
which will create them. What is
needed now is constructive work. If
the people of Montana, the people of
Missoula particularly, ana the faculty
Of the university will put their Shout
ders to the wheel as they had been
doing, there will be a new advance
made in the progress of the University
of Montana. The opportunity is yet
here and the means to take advantage
of it are not as meager as is repre-
sented by those who are helittling the
present situation. There are some of
us who have followed the growth of
the university from it's beginning, who
appreciate what has been accomplished
and who know what can be accom-
plished by concerted effort in the right
direction. J,

THE UNIVERSITY

There are crises in the history of
every institution. The University of
Montana now faces one of the most
serious situations that ever occurred
tory. Patient years of devoted effort
on the part Of an earnest faculty and
loyal friends left us of Montana, a
year ago, with an institution in which
the whole state felt pride. The per-
sistent labor of those interested in the
growth of the institution had borne
fruit; there were good prospects that
further growth would be immediate
and continued. The graduates of the
institution-young though it is-had
begun to make for themselves positions
of distinction and dignity in the pro-
fessional world. Their records We're
good, they told by their accomplish
Dlcnts what the University of Montana
could do and what it was doing. And
that situation will continue to exist if
there is not Il continuance of the dis
turhanCc which has been occasioned
by the revival of the consolidation
agitation. We do not see that there
can any possible good come Of this
agitation. we do not believe that the
people Of the state will be deceived
by the mistaken policy which is now
creating a furry within and without
the institution. We are confident that
the consolidation annot be brought
about along the ines which are now
being pursued by the enthusiastic ad-
NoCatoS Of the proposed plan. Their
enthusiasm is leading them to such
extremes that they are disproVing
their own assertions.

SENTlMENT-President Craighead
says he believes the whole people Of
Missoula are behind him. He docs not
think yesterdays expression was a fair
representation. He said, yesterday,
that he would like to discuss the Ques-
ton at a mass meeting in the theater.
We believe he should be accommodated.
Some evening soon, there should be
arranged u public meeting, at which
the question can be discussed, the time
to be divided equally between the two
sides. President Craighead cannot,
now, say honestly that there has been
any attempt to muzZle him. He had
all the time there was yesterday. The
advocates of the consolidation plan,
who talk about the sentiment in Mis-
soula, should remember that the mega
tive side of the case has been discussed
for only three days publicly in this
community, while the affirmative side
has been pressed by members OF Inc
university faculty who have c~anvassed
shops and stores and offices and have
made what we believe to have been
false representations in the matter, in
order to obtain signatures. Yesterday
one of the resolutions was Withdrawn,
lest it create the impression Of strife
in this community; this resolution,
had it reached a vote, would have re-
ceived practically the same support
which was given to the resolutions
which We're placed upon record. II
there is yet any question as to the
sentiment in M%issoula, by all means
let us have a mass meeting, as soor
as possible. But the negative sid
should be accorded the same amour
Of time as is given to the advocates
T OF the plan.
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1913-01-19

day. That is so, and the faculty should
get down to business.

BUILD UP-The possibilities are
just as great now rs they even were
for a state university worthy Of Mon
tanu. All that is required TO keep the
Path is a renewal Of the constructive
effort which was so pcrsistently put
ferth for two decades by the friends
Of the university. If the energy noW
being wasted by the oVer-zealous ad-
vocates Of the consolidation plan were
turned in The other direction, what is
there in the way of progress which
might not b accomplished? A great
faculty is of more Importance than a
great endowment when ii comes right
down to cases-that is a sentiment
which was expressed in yesterdays
e discussion of the subject, both sides of
the question agreeing upon this point
at least. The fine faculty must work
ana there must be responsive effort or
The part of the students. Then there
viii come the results which are thu
hopes of all of us. No amount OF en-
doWment will accomplish these result:

earnest faculty. There cannot be al

college inclinations. Montana has nc

COLD FACTS-These statements
airy view of actual and existing condi-
tons. There can be no contradiction
the agitation of the consolidation Ques-
ton in it's present form and by the
present method is affecting the eff
cheney of the university. The console
dation plan has become SO much ain
OF the faculty that they annot posi-
lily be giving to their work at the uni
versity the attention which is their
duty. There can be no question, to-
day, as to the view which the bust
ness men Of Missoula hold. The mem
bers Of the chamber Of m went
on record yesterday. They listened
crurteously to q presentation of the
consolidation plan; it had been agreed
that this presentation should occupy
forty minutes; yet a hundred business
and professional men listened for two
hours to President C~raighead and did
not interrupt. Another half hour was
consumed by the president in replying
to the remarks of men opposed to the
plan. This left but an hour for the
discussion of the other side of the
question. The whole discussion was
courteous. It was the busiest afternoon
of the week, yet there were forty-four
members of the chamber in their seats,
after four hours Of waiting, to express
their sentiments. Fifty had been COM
PEELED to withdraw on account Of bust
ness demands, Yet the vote was
thirty-eight to six against the CONSOLE
dation plan-and three OF the six votes
in support Of it came from members of
the university faculty.

CASE OF STATE AGAINST INsuR-
ANcE COMPANIES WILL SETTLE
LEGAL oUEsTIoN-coMPA
THINK TAX LAW Is UNJUST.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Jacksonville. Jan. 25.-President W.
D. Johnson, of the Florida Life In
surance Company, has issued the fol-
lowing:
Tn mentioning the suit filed in Tai
lahassee by the state of Florida against
the Florida Life Insurance Company
and the Peninsular Casualty Company,
for the collection of per cent taxes
on gross income of these companies for
1911, amounting to S4.S00.00 against the
Florida Life and 100000 against the
Peninsular Casualty Company, only
one side Of the case was given and in
this 1T is misleading without an ex-
PLANTATION Of the position of the de-
PENDANTS.
AT the last session Of the state leg
islature in the general revenue bill, this
tax of per cent Of gross income was
brought up for repeal in a reduction
of it to l per cent, and the said bill
was passed by the legislature upon
the grounds that 1t was discriminating
and thus Illegal and a gross injustice
to the polfcyholders. The general rev

enue ban vas vetoed by the governor.

enue bill was vetoed by the governor.
The insurance companies have held
that the collection Of this tax is illegal
in its discrimination against them, anc
this opinion is also held by many
prominent attorneys who have passed
upon the matter. They feel this tax
imposes an injustice on the policy
holder and would eventually take away
from them some of the liberal condi-
tons Of their policies and justify the
charging of higher premium rate.
ITO decide the matter legally, 1t
was decided sometime ago that a
friendly suit be instituted by the state,
and looking to this end, Gov. Tram
nell, who was formerly attorney gen.
eral Of the state, agreed to instituts
proceedings. The complaint has just
been filed in Tallahassee and the ter
mination of the suit will bs watched
with interest by all the insurance com
panies. The case is simply one in
which a test of the law is to be made
and If it is sustained, the companies
mentioned as litigants are perfectly
willing to ahiE1e thereby. The defend
ant companies do not wish to be put in
the light Of refusing to pay their taxes,
but they feel justified in resisting this
unjuEt tax law "
