taxation, then the ultimate aim of the
taxpayer should be a revision Of the
constitution and the statutes in a way
that will afford relief. The subject is
one of peculiar interest to the small
real estate owners The man who
owns his home already, as a rule, pays
more than his share of the commup-
ity's burden of tax. The farmers tax
is out of all proportion to the burden
that rests on a majority of other
property owners.
If the farmer were now assessed the
full value of his holdings, either the
present value of those holdings would
be very materially reduced or he
would be taxed beyond his ability to
pay, in many instances. These things
are very we'll known, and the tax Of
ficials are endeavoring to find a way
by which the burden of taxation may
be distributed more equitably. The
Post doesn't believe it will be found
by increasing to full cash value Of the
property assessed.-Butte Post.

Fear Trouble In Haiti

Washington, Jan. 28.-Under forced
draught the big battleship South Car
olina is rushing today across the
Windward passage for Port Au Prince
Haiti, to join her bluejackets and
marines with forces of the armored
cruiser Montana, for protection of
Americans and other foreigners. Left
without a government by the sudden
abdication of President Oreste. who
fled to refuge on a German warship
yesterday, the island republic is
threatened with anarchy.
Port Au Prince, Haiti, Jan. 2S.-
armed detachments of America sail
n from the armored cruiser Mon.
tana, were on guard today at the Am.
erican legation, the cable station and
the French hospital. German blue
jackets and marines we're placed on
protection duty at the other foreign
legations, and at the German stores
in the city.

Shaves and Hog Cholera

1T costs as much to shave a sena.
tor as to i%noculate serum. Why not
have more saved hogs and fewer
shaved senators?" This was the
fashion in which Senator Kenyon OF
Iowa made a hit with a crowd of
farmers at the midwinter Ohio agri.
cultural conference at Columbus. His
reference was to the senate barber
shop, where senators are shaved free,
and the subject before the meeting
was a movement for an appropriation
of 100000 from the federal govern.
ment to fight hog cholera.
The loss from hog cholera last year
is estimated at $50, 000, 900. and II ST.,
10000 will keep it down the price
appears cheap. An organized cam.
paign to secure the appropriation is
In progress in the middle west. The
farmers applauded the sentiment OF
spending less, not only on shaving
senator's. but on army posts. Hogs
seemed more essential than brass
buttons and guns.-Springfield Repub'
lican.

Farm Lands in Alaska

Washington, Jan. 31.-Contrary to
the general impression homegrown
c%urrants, strawberries, %raspberries,
go~oseberries and cranberries are plen-
tiful in Alaska and determined by soil,
climate and topography conditions,
farming is possible on approximately
100000 square miles of territory. The
mean annual temperature of Sitka is
about the same as that of Washing
ton, D. c." says the statement Of the
department or agriculture, made pub.
lie today. varieties of wheat, oats,
rye, barley, potatoes and many other
vegetables have matured every season
since the department started it's work
at its two experiment stations. One
Of these stations is about seventy
miles from the Arctic circle.

MAY Form Richland County

Miles City, Jan. 31.-At a meeting
of the Dawson county commissioners
held at Glendive, the petition for the
holding of an election for the cutting
off the proposed county Of Richland
from Dawson was granted. Much of
the country in the Big Dry and Circle
sections of the territory it is pro.
posed to ~segregate, was cut off by pc
titions of withdrawal and the order
for election was carried by a narrow
margin.
Roughly bounded the proposed
county of Richland extends from the
North Dakota line along the Missouri
river to a point nearly midway be-
tween the mouth of the Redwater and
the Big Dry, thence south in an irreg-
ular line to a point northeast of Cir
Gle, some 40 miles south of the Mis-.
souri,, thence east to the North Da-
kota line and north to the point of be-
ginning. The proposed county has
the $4,000, 900 necessary under the law
for it to become a county.

Train Frozen in Ice

Lacrosse, Wis.,, Jan. 29.-Stalled 81
hours by a food, a passenger train on
the Reno branch of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul road arrived today
with $50 half-famished passengers
aboard. The thermometer fell from
40 to II degrees above zero, and the
train was frozen in the ice. 1t was
held there e. day, until the water re-
coded, leaving a crust of ice (which
was broken up by a section crew.
The train carried neither a diner
nor Il sleeper, and the delay caused
considerable suffering among women
and children.

Enormous Deposits Of Salt

Noman, Okla, Jan. 2S.-Oklahoma
could supply the world with salt for
thousands of years. If the water of
the salt springs were sevaporated daily
the amount of salt thus obtained
would load a train GO miles long.
But this would be only a part Of the
natural salt resources of this state.
In some places along the Cimarron
river. for instance, farmers actually
shovel the salt into wagons and haul
it to the market.
Oklahoma rests on an enormous bed
OF salt Of great thickness. In prehis-
toric times this section was an inland
sea which had no outlet or inlet.

WOULD INCREASE TAXATION

II the ultimate aim of the tax com
mission is the assessment of all prop.
erty in the state at its full value, as
Mr.. Houtz told the assembled county
officials at Lewist0wn this week, the
already Overburdened taxpayer may
not hope for relief from that source.
Indeed, he might as we'll prepare him.
self to bear still heavier loads. For
him, in fact, the worst is yet to come,
II Commissioner Houtz is enabled to
carry out his plan.
Year after year the talk of a more
equitable assessment goes on. The as.
SCISSORS meet in annual session and
agree upon schedules for the several
classes of property. They are told
that the assessment should be higher,
in order that the levy might be lower,
and that a high assessment and a low
levy is the ideal condition. Then they
return to their homes, and often, very
often. they go about their business in
their W way and with very little
regard to the schedules agreed upon
The theory and the practice of the
ideal system of taxation are very
far apart. So when through persist.
ent effort the assessments are increas,
ed and the ideal situation in that re,
spect is approached, the levy remains
the same, or, very frequently, it also
Is increased. The net result almost
invariably is that increased assess
ments mean increased taxation. Nc
matter what the theory, that is the
case. In view of long experience in
these things, the property owner may
well view with alarm a movement tc
assess his property at full value. He
knows that, no matter how great the
assessment. the levy will not be ma
terially cut. Ofice-holders too readil,
find a way to spend the public's mon
ey. The necessity for more taxes al
ways is apparent. If the assessment.
are increased to full value the lega
limit Of the levy probably will not bt
lowered. If it. remains the same thu
taxpayer will find that his burdens
never will grow less.
II the ultimate aim of the tax com
mission continues to be increased
