Some Of the Faults of Initiative
Measure No. 7.

The State of Montana Advancement
Association. All organization of the
farmers, business men and other
employers of labor. is opposed to
Initiative Measure No. Z, because it:
Imposes tax of 50 zoo, 900 annually
OH the employment of labor in
Montana.
Levies a tax on employers from so
to 100 per cent hig her than in other
state or country.
Pays benefits regardless of question
of fault, including injuries received
as result of disc bedience of orders
or intoxication.
Fails to exempt farm labor or
domestic servants rs is done in the
laws of Rhode Island and other
states.
Provides approximately $500, 900 to
be spent by commission II and 4 horde
of inspectors and other employees.
Specifically encourages injured
workmen or dependents to bring suits
at law if the compensation awarded
by the commits sion is not satisfactory
to them, thus multiplying court costs
which must be paid by the taxpayers.
Discriminates against married men
in such manner as to influence
employers to reduce their liabilities
by employing unmarried men, thus
adding burden to the man with a
family and making employment
uncertain and precarious.
Will handicap existing industries
to such an extent as to put some
going concerns out of business and
discourage the investment of new
capital to develope the natural re-
sources of tine state.
Through it's failure to limit the
amount to be paid to the dependents
OF aliens who may be disabled or
killed in Montana it will within a
few years create an army of pension
ers upon Montana's payroll, who
have always lived in Europe, who
always expect to live i'm Europe, and
who will have to be supported from
the compensation fund of this state
as long rs they live.
Fixes fiat compensation awards
regardless of the wages OF the
injured employe. Under the Mon
tana act in many instances the
injured workman will draw more
while in the hospital than he would
working at his regular employment.

Democratic months. The importation
of butter from Canada jumped from
$3.50, 600 in value in nine Republican
months to $1,60O,0o0, in nine Demo-
cratic months. The importation of
corn jumped from 10000 bushels to
10, 600 bushels in the same period of
time, and this brought no profit to
anyone but the whiskey distiller and
the starch trust. The Importation of
meats jumped from $5,771,000 to
SIG, ,309, GOO in that period. The tariff
on barley was reduced to the profit of
on one but the brewer. The reduction
in the tariff on hay from $500 to $500
ton was followed by Incorporation
of $50, 900 tons of Canadian hay. The
Republican tariff on sugar brought
the government so million dollars a
year andunder this tariff we are losing
two million dollars month. Over
five and one-half million dozens of
Chinese eggs were imported under the
Underwood tariff to be sold in
competition with the products of our
farmers.
You all know what the price of
wheat was before the war and it will
be the same afterwards, for the
importation of millions of bushels of
Argentine and Canadian wheat will
lower the market for the farmers
here.
Mr.. Maddox also commented on the
wool proposition and explained that
the high price for wool received this
year was on account of shortage of
240, 100000 pounds in the world s
supply which enchanted the price.
The taking Off of the tariff on wool
has lost the government 10000, 900 in
revenue, without any advantage to
the consumer. Woolen goods are no
cheaper than they were under the
Republican tariff and has cost the
textile workers and wooden factories
IS 900, 900 in wages.
The farmer got the worst of it in
the Underwood tariff. The importa-
tion of manufactured goods only
showed an increase of s.S per cent in
nine months while the importations
of farm products showed an average
increase of 40 per cent.

Republican candidate for Congress

Revives 'RaffIes.'
BY TARLETON COLLIER

The two new plays that came to
Atlanta within a week of each other,
as far apart as they were in tone and
essential details, are both generally
regarded as possessing considerable
merit and contemporary appeal As
to The Blindness Of Virtue" II Is
safe enough to say that most OF the
people who saw it are still wonder
Ing whether they really and truly and
sincerely like IT, with the doubtful
conviction that they did. or the 9TH
or play, within the Law" there is
no doubt at all -Four thousand peo-
plo at the Atlanta Theater enthu-
siastically Numbered their applause
Both plays, with all their excel
lences, embody the distinctive faults
of the drama OF to-day. In The
Blindness Of Virtue" a subject is held
up for public exploitation, a subject
that IL delicate and intimate, before
whoever cares to pay the price of
admission. No fault can be found
with dts purpose Its message is, be-
yond cavii, worthy OF consideration
But certainly the play, with its frank
method of presenting the relations
OF man and woman, specifically a
world wise man and an innocent girl,
bears an unwholesOme suggestion to
great many theatergoers who can
not realize that the theater is place
for Instruction and sermonizlng as
we'll as for entertainment.
Nowadays, men are quick to write
plays that deal with such intimate
topics Some. perhaps, are written
sincerely enough. But 1t is a ques-
ton whether the intimate things of
life and birth and sex relations are
to be banded before an indiscrimi-
nate public audience, rather than in
the seclusion OF the home, or before
an understanding and wholly appre-
ciative body. An exploitation of
these things for commercial reasons
certainly is not to be condoned.
There Is no intimacy in the sub
ject matter of within the Law"
The first act OF this melodrama has
message, of course--a message
rather trite and blatant. 1t is true,

Greatness means hard work or ge-

other way Of describing the capacity
for hard work. The success OF the
Royal Welsh Ladies' Choir Is due to
both. Madame Hughes Thomas, the
leader of this distinguished organiza-
ton, is an L. R. A. NJ. and has scored
success after success for herself she

Wales, when not touring. 1t is this
thorough knowledge Of each other
and the perfect understanding OF
their leader which bring about the
finished ensemble singing Of the
choir.
1t is the policy of Madame Hughes
Thomas to sing all Welsh music in
the vernacular. Those who have
heard the native music Of Wales de-
clare that it ranks first among the
folk songs of any nation.
This is the first visit of the Welsh

WHY Not Ask Public
To Dance? MANAGER Asks

WHEN is some theatrical manager
w going to give the dancing craze
a real fight? Fight is not just the
word, because dancing is so thor
oughly entrenched that 1t can not be
fought. 1t must be dealt with in a
different way.
The wisest of the theatrical man
ayers will admit that the public is
absolutely dance mad, but they are
spending their time waiting for the
dance craze to die out. If the public
wants dancing, why try to satisfy it
by merely showing a few good dane
ers? Why not combine entertain
ment with dancing?
The first New York manager who
builds a few runways from the aisles
to the stage and puts up a ballroom
set or some velvet drops and invites
the audience to go up and dance on
the stage after the regular perform
ance will probably have to build an
extension on his theater. Refresh
ments can be placed on sale and the
rule can be made either that the pro-
fessionals may or may not mix with
the audience. as the managers deem
best.
