Democratic Free Trade.

The farmers Of Montana pay taxes
to support Home institutions. What
do they think of policy which gives
a large part of their business to
foreign countries? Under the present
Democratic Free trade Bill potatoes
have been imported into America at
the rate of 100000 bushels a year,
an increase twenty-five times greater
than was true under the Republica"
Tariff. The importation OF oats
under the Democratic free trade bill
was 100 times greater than under the
Republican tariff
The importation of butter is AZ
times greater under the Democratic
free trade bill than it was under
Republican Tariff.
In 1911 and 1912 there were no
importation of eggs into the United
States. u der the present Underwood
law eggs are coming into the United
States free of duty from China and
other foreign countries at the rate
Of 5000, 900 dozen a year.

Measure No. I.

A brief statement OF facts showing
how Initiative Measure No. I, affects
the farmers of the state.
/. The farmea will be compelled to
pay directly into the fund large tax
upon his pay roll. Among others, the
following work in which a farmer
engages, is specifically enumerated in
the Bill: Drilling wells, running
tunnels, building bridges, digging
bitches, digging irrigation bitches,
uses blasting powder, moving or
tearing down buildings, using blasting
powder or dynamite for any purpose,
install steam heating plants or hot air
furnaces, steam boilers, steam engines
or any kind of machinery, building
wind mills, roads, repairing roofs,
moving safes, excavations, hauling
sand for use in construction; carpen-
ter work, painting, putting in bath
tubs, lathing, plastering or papering
room; installing inside plumbing,
building, tearing down buildings:
logging operations in the clearing Of
his place; clearing his land by using
powder or dynamite; operating saw
mill, manufacturing kindling wood or
cord wood by power driven machinery;
working in food stuffs, oils, fruit or
vegetables, or making soap, tallow,
lard or grease with power-driven
machinery. He will also pay a direct
tax whenever he uses power-driven
machinery for any purpose whatever,
such as thrashing grain or baline hay,
or blowing.
.. In addition to these, the farmer
will pay on practically every line of
his employment. Al agree that the
bill covers "all extra hazardous
employments The classification made
by accident insurance companies
classify all farm labor "as extra
hazardous, and charge an extra
hazardous rate upon the same. This
shows that farm labor is "eNtra- haz-
ardous." and the farmer will have to
pay upon it all.
B. The different employments in
which a farmer engages fall in different
classes, and each of them carries a
different rate. In order, therefore,
to determine the amount of tax which
the farmer must pay, it is necessary
for him to keep a strict account of the
time employed in each class of his
employment, and OF the wages paid
This will require every farmer to
keep accurate books, and keep separ-
atelv each particular class Of labor il
which he engages. This will cost thu
farmer more than the direct TIA,
