Weed Used for Stock Food

Lawrence, Kans., Nov. 1.-Another
obnoxious weed" pressed into the
service of the Kansas farmer was CIV
en- official sanction today with the
endorsement by the horticultural de-
partment of the University of Kansas
of the use of the Russian thistle as
provender for live stock. In an opin-
ion announced by William G. Stevens
professor of botany, the plant was
taken from the weed class and pro-
nounced proper food for live stock.
Its nutriment value is great, only a
trifle short of that of alfalfa, DR.. Stew
ems said.
A few farmers in western Kansas
semi-arid sections had experimental
in feeding the thistle, but conserva-
tive farmers had considered the plan
a "crazy notion"

and bridges, county fairs and state ex-
hibits and everything else W happen
to be favoring at the time. We give
the city council thunder for not doing
something for the streets, and the
commissioners for not mending the
county highways, and can't under
stand why they object SO strenuOusly
to spending money that don't come
out of their own pockets, but out Of
the county jackpot. They are a fine
lot of fellows if they will spend money
for the things we favor, and a lot of
tightwads if they refuse.
That's how it is for ten months in
the year. And the other two months
we just take it out roaring about the
high taxes and denouncing all con-
cerned as a reckless lot of robbers
who should be in the p~enitentiary.
Just now there is something of a ces-
sation of demands on the commission
ers to put in a few dozen roads that
will cost only five or ten thousand
dollars apiece, for we are all soberly
studying the tax notices we have been
getting. Six or eight weeks from now
we will have forgotten all about it and
will be renewing the p~ilgrimages to
the court house when the commission
ers are in session with requests for
more appropriations. Consistency is
a jewel we don't wear much.

Expense Of consressman's Funeral

It costs the government about 3d.
900 every time a congressman dies,
over and above the regular allowance
of a years salary to his heirs, which
amounts of $500, according to the
Washington correspondent of the
Brooklyn Eagle. The house has what
is known as a contingent fund, the
appropriation for the current year be-
ing $4,000.
When a subcommittee of the ap-
preparations committee of the house
took up the urgent deficiency bill it
found a request from n chief clerk
of the house for $4,000 more. The
principal reason for this requisition
was the fact that SIX congressman
died since the $4,000 appropriation
was made. The expenses of their fu-
nerals and the burial committees, in
GLIDING transportation charges, made
a heavy draft IN the contingent fund.
Jerry G. South, chief clerk of the
house appeared before the committee
and explained that It cost more than
$4,000 apiece to pay suitable honors
to each dead congressman, not includ-
ing the extra years salary. Trans
portation usually is the chief item.
The house always appoints a commit
tee to attend the funeral and expenses
of this committee are paid. If the
deceased happened to be a congress-
man from a state remote from the cap
ital the railroad charges run high. In
one of the recent cases the fares
amounted to $500.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF cn0UrEAU COUNTY
WEDNESDAY, NOV. s. 1918.
HIGH COST GOVERNMENT

An illustration of the methods thai
contribute to the high cost of govern
ment appears in a news item from
Great Falls relating to a controversy
over the claim of a deputy weight
inspector. This official is a state Of
fcer, appointed by the secretary OF
state to perform certain duties in q
district of which Cascade county
forms a part, and the Cascade county
auditor holds that his salry should be
paid by the state, although the law
makes the expense a charge against
the county.
The owners of taxable property in
all parts of Montana make annual con-
tributions to the state treasury for
the necessary expenses of state gov
eminent. The salaries of state Off
cers are included in these expenses,
and should be paid from the state
fund. A law that calls for payment
of salaries of state deputy weight in.
spectors out of county funds is un.
fair to the taxpayers who foot the
bills.
Another instance of increased cost
of government appears in a law pass
ed by the Thirteenth assembly by
which the supervision of the state ex-
aminer is extended to municipalities
and school districts Of the first and
second class. In view of the extra
work involved the state examiner was
authorized to appoint an additional
deputy at a salary Of $1,000 a year
and necessary travelling expenses, to
be paid from the state fund to which
all Montana taxpayers contribute.
This new law provides that an ex.
animation of the books and accounts
of Incorporated cities and towns, and
school districts of the first and second
class, shall be made by the state ex.
aminer, and further provides that a
fee shall be paid for such examina'
lions. The fees range from $50 tC
5000 for cities and towns, and $25 tt
ers furnishing the funds In, each case
1t would appear to the averag
taxpayer that his contribution to tn
state treasury should cover his ex
pense in this connection. He supple!
the state fund from which the sal
aries of state officials are paid, ant
is then required to pay a fee for the
work done by these same officials
This method of conducting the public
business may increase the revenue re
ceived by the state, but it means
higher cost of government at the ex
pense of owners of taxable propert,
in all parts of Montana.

AMONG OUR NEIGHBORS.
A Grist Of Items Gathered From Our
Northern Montana Exchanges

Northern Montana Exchanges
Box Elder Press: Ever Nielsen is
busy threshing his alfalfa for seed.
This is the first time that alfalfa has
been raised for seed to any extent in
this vicinity as heretofore it has only
been raised for hay. He has about
80 acres to thresh and it is averag-
ing about Z bushels to the acre.
Brady MILESTONE: c. B. Hogan,
who was checked in as agent at the
local depot about the first of the
month. quietly slipped away from
town last Saturday night, taking with
him, besides his family, a couple Of
thousand dollars belonging to the
Great Northern and a few bills here
and at Conrad which he neglected to
pay. No trace has been found of Ho-
gan since his very sudden departure.
Chinook Opinion: Word was receiv-
ed by Clarence wager who is in charge
of the court house construction, from
N. T. Lease, the contractor; to shut
down work on the job as soon as the
odd work around was finished up.
The failure of the manufacturers to
deliver the terra Gotta trimmings that
go in the wall makes it impossible to
go ahead with the work of enclosing
the building this fall as the terra cot
ia is set right in the brick.
Malta Enterprise: H. M. Misfeldt
returned the latter part Of last week
from a trip to Fort Benton and other
poins along the Great Falls line. He
informed us that while at Fort Ben
ton he attended a public sale and that
common mich cows sold as high as
Sis, and they we're nothing choice
at that. The price of cattle is still
going up and If they continue it will
be a luxury for some of us to be able
to look at a pasture where once they
fed.
Chinook Opinion: Stock inspector
Jas. Mccoy and Deputy Sheriff Ere
aux went to Wagner Monday to in
vestigate a report of beef being kill
ed on the range under suspicious cir
cumstances. Willard Stiles was ar
rested as a result of their trip and
held before the justice court at T)od-
son. There are rumors that cattle
have been killed and sold to the ditch
camps there on the quiet without any
report being made Of the brands ut
different times this summer. There
is a large camp on the fitch work
near Wagner now that is supposed to
nave secured some of the beef. a
portion of the beef on which the ar.
rest was made was found cached in
e hay stack at Stiles ranch.

DEFENDS COMMISSIONERS

Not often is a voice heard in de-
fense-or in sympathy everywhere
the county commissioners are concern
ed. The county commissioner is as
much a man apart from the rest of
the world as is the preacher, only
the barrier which separates him from
the others of human kind is construct
ed Of different material. But, as a rule,
the county commissioner has no
friends. says the Muscular.
The county commissioner is a goat.
The sins of the whole community are
loaded upon his shoulders, and he Is
sent forth into the wilderness to bear
the load of responsibility. Every cit
izen of the county holds firmly to
the belief that the highway which
leads past his home should be made
into a model boulevard. If this is not
done, he advertises the county COM
missioner as an incompetent. The
man who does get a good road, finds
fault because the new highway is not
built as he wanted it or because he is
not granted a sufficient sum for the
right of way which was taken from
his waste land.
We do not remember an instance,
until now, when a good word was
spoken for the county commissioner.
He is blamed, half the year, because
he doesn't spend money enough, and
then, the rest of the twelve months,
he is condemned because he has i'm
posed such high taxes. If he does
anything that is good, nobody ever
says a word about it. Everything he
does that is esteemed to be wrong,
is advertised the length and breadth
of the county.
