: Advance Prices

Several of the beet sugar companies
OF this state have announced an ad-
vance 10 the price Of bcets. The H"'-
Iy beet sugar company and the Amer
lean compsny have this week issued
new scales. These companies an
nounced the following sliding scales:
Beets testing IL per cent aud under
IA. q per too.
Beets testing IA percent and under
l4i. 5.12& per ton.
Beets testing l4i per cent and under
is. s5 25 per ton.
Beets testing rs per cent and under
i52. s.. so per ton.
And on all beets testing above this
an sdded price OF l2i cents for each
one-hslf per cent of sugar matter.
When asked what the Nations bad
planned To do In the matter
0f price schedule, ]. II. Abel.
manager Of the company, stated that,
due to the fact that Francis X Carey
president OF the company had Just
sailed for Europe. there would be no
announcement at this time. .
The Nationals present schedule Is
Is for l2 to l6 per cent Of sugar and
Is so for beets running above 16 per
cent. There are few beets yet run
ming TO l6 or above, but IL Is likely
that the sugar content will be In.
cressed within the next few days,

volved, but it is our candid opinion
that the victim of an accident connect
ed with farm work has just as valid
claim for compensation as a citizen
who suffers similar misfortune while
engaged in some other kind of labor.
Anyway, the farmer who is in favor
of workmen's compensation as a hui
name measure should not object to
contributing toward the relief of en-
ployes in his own industry when injur-
ed, or to the support of dependent rel
atives when the accident is of a fatal
nature. If he is not willing to do
this, he is not honestly in favor of the
of compensation, and should
not force upon others an obligation
he is unwilling to assume for himself.
In the matter of the proposed farm
loan bill, an opponent of the measure
recently called attention to a consti-
tutional provision requiring the in.
vestment of permanent state funds in
public securities" II this criticism
holds good, it would appear necessary
10 amend the constitutional provision
before any farm loan legislation can
become effective.

The reduction of the force today
will be the second since the two bat.

are finally sent home. The six ma

Although martial law will continue

POOLING THE FARMER.

In the active campaign that is being
made by the advocates and opponents
Of the proposed workmen's compensa-
ton law-otherwise known as Initia-
tive Measure No. Tt appears to this
newspaper that Montana farmers may
become confused Or deceived regard
Ing their status in the matter. They
are assured by the promoters of the
proposed law that farmers will be ex.
enpt from its provisions; and on the
other hand the opponents of the
measure declare farmers will be in
just the anne position as other en-
plOyers of labor. and will be required
to provide insurance for Injured
wOrkmen who are employed in farm
ing operations.
AS to the provisions of the compen-
sation act itself there is a variety of
opinion, some Of its critics alleging
various defects, and many claiming
that the rates of compensation are too
high. 1t would be impossible to frame
a law that would satisfy all the in
terests affected. The principal trou-
BILE with measures. of this kind is the
desire of prospective beneiciaries to
get all they can, and the inclination
of employers to resist whatever ap.
pears to them to be an unjust and
b~urdensome exaction.
The feature of the campaign to
which this newspaper takes exception
Is the attempt to pass off the Work
mems Compensation act and the Farm
Loan bill as twin measures" 1t is
intimated that in return for the farm
ers' vote for the compensation meas.
ure, the miners and other workmen
will support the farm loan bill. This
Is a revival of the pernicious and
reprehensible ~"log-rolling" methods
favored by professional politicians in
seeking to enact legislation that will
not stand on it's own merits.
In f%urtherance of this plan the farm
ers are assured that the compensa-
ton act will not touch them. They
are advised that no matter how many
men r killed or injured while EN-.
ployed in farm work, the proposed
compensation law will not require the
farmers to pay a cent toward their re.
lief or the support of dependent rela-
tives. It is true that farming is not
specifically mentioned in the bill as
one of the industries subject to it's
provisions, but there is a blanket
clause which says: IF there be or
arise any extra-hazardous occupation
or work other than those hereinabove
enumerated, it shall come under this
act"

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1914.
THE sUFFRAolsT CAMPAIGN.

Montana is one Of seven states
which will deal with the votes-for-wo-
men question next month. The sub
ject is up in Ohio, Nebraska, Missouri,
the two Dakotas and Nevada. says the
Butte Post. -
- In our state, in Nevada and in the
Dakotas the proposed amendment
reaches the voters through action by
the legislature, but there are differ
nee with respect to the manner of
reaching results. In North Dakota
the proposed amendment must get a
majority of all the votes at the cleo
ton; in our state a majority of those
who vote on this particular PROPOSE
ton will do, regardless Of those who
vote neither way.
In Nebraska the majority, in order
to count, must be at least thirty-five
per cent of all the voters. In Nilsson
ri the signature of only eight per cent
of the voters is all that is required
for the purpose Of submitting an
amendment.
The s%uffragists claim to be confident
Of success in Ohio. If their expecta-
ton is realized, a wonderful change
in Ohio sentiment will be thereby re-
vealed; two years ago a proposed
suffrage amendment was defeated in
that state by almost ninety thousand
votes.
AS for the character of the CAM
paign work, it has been, thus far in
Montana, of the routine sort, the pub
lie addresses dealing chiefly with the
question of woman's inherent rights
with respect to the franchise, and
there has not been much press dis
cussion in Ohio, the run of the news
papers comment shows that the cam
paign there has one of it's important
themes in the proposition that the ma
jcrity Of the in that state do
not want to vote.
In Nebraska attention has been
fixed upon the assertion of the anti.
suffragists that the state has better
laws today with respect to many lega,
rights of women, and also with regard
to social evils, child labor and the
like, than is true of Colorado, where
women have long had a vote. The
Nebraska suffragists count on the
prestige that from William j.
