radical measure putting a dollar into
new enterprise in Montana.
Who pays the bills?
When the cost of production of any
article is increased, who ultimately
pays the bill?
Is it right to permit political agita-
tors, social and economic theorists
and eXperimentalists, to take advan-
tage of the initiative principle and
put shackles upon the farmer?
Among the most pernicious features
of the proposed bill are the following:
/. 1t levies a tax upon every
industry in the state out of all proper
lions of it's earnings. 49,.
2. ltmakes it absolutely impossible
for a man of small means to under
take any business venture or any
modest form of Improvements by
subjecting him to the provisions of an
eXorbiant tax and making him
responsible for an accident which
may occur through the malice or
negligence of the man he is employing.
3. BY voting for this bill every
man who has a dollar in farm or any
other industry, no matter how small.
signs a promissory note. He guaran-
tees the payment of accidents which
occur in mines and in factories while
in existence and long after those
mines and factories have gone out of
existence. He is placing mortgage

FIGHTING IN WESTERN BELGIUM
STUBBORN, BUT NOT DECISIVE

LONDON, October 20, 1857 p.m.-One
Of those who make up the allied armies
in the fighting zone in the neighbor-
hood Of the Belgian border is quoted
as having said yesterday: "We shall
most certainly be in Brussels under
a month. L myself, expect in q fort
night"
This probably represents the impress
sion obtaining here. even though in the
mass of vague assertions regarding
the progress of the fighting on the
vast line from the North sea to the
Rhine there is to be found little OF
a positive character or demonstrable
proof of any specific success SO de-
cisive in it's consequences as to consti-
tute a real victory or defeat.
Whether the network Of canals In
this part of Belgium will enable the
monitors to carry their successes fur
ther inland has not yet transpired.
The fighting from all accounts is as
stubborn as in any stage Of the Wa
thus far. Every foot of the ba y. e
ground in West Flanders Is contested.
Every village is taken and retaken.
The rush tactics which characterized
the first part of the campaign are
being repeated, and both sides claim
that they regularly repulse those on
slaughts.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Northern France and the coast

Mherez the most important fight.
ing in the western arena of the
war continues with the utmost
stubbornness, but as yet without
decisive result. The French war
Office announces that the allied
lines are holding in spits of the
furious onslaughts of the enemy,
while news dispatches from Lon
don assert that developments
generally are against the invaders.
Berlin, however, has not been
heard from on this subject since
yesterday. Lacking a German
report as to the progress of the
prolonged engagements in this
territory, the situation is being
reported only from the side Of
the allies. The German an
nouncement of yesterday said
that in the fighting west of Lille
German troops, taking the often
sive, had repulsed the enemy at
several points.
In the eastern arena of the war
both sides claim progress, but
not in the same localities. Paris
says officially that the Russians
in the vicinity of Warsaw have
driven the enemy back eight
miles, and the Petrograd war Of
fee declares that Russian troops
have saved Warsaw from a Ger
man bombardment.
An official statement given out
in Vienna says that Austrian
forces have gained ground at sew
eral points in Galicia, and that
the Russian countel. attacks have
not been successful. Austrian
troops have captured the heights
north of Nizankowice, and they
have taken possession also of the
last pass held by Russians in the
Carpathians. There are now no
Russians in Hungary, according
to the Vienna statement.

War Tax Adopted.

When the war tax conference report
finally was brought in by Majority
Leader Underwood one hour was al
lowed for discussion. The reduction
of the Senate tax on beer and elimina-
tlon of the cents gallon tax on
rectified spirits removed practically
all opposition.
The nnal agreement on the bill in con-
ference was reported by a strict party
vote, republicans voting against it. The
conference restored the House provision
chat the new taxes should go into effect
the day after passage OF the bill.
Ine conference report was adopted by
a rising vote of 126 to So.
The conference report then went over
to the Senate for action.
Henry Starts Fillibuster.
The House took up the cotton ware
house bill. Representative Henry of
Texas produced a letter from Presi-
dent Wilson expressing the hope that
congress would pass the bill before ad-
1ournment. While Leader Underwood
attempted to get up for considera ton
the adjournment resolutions Mr. Henry
forced roll calls and began a mild fill
puster to force action on the ware
house bill.
When the report arrived in the SEN
ate Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia
held 1t up temporarily which he press
ed resolution for a senatorial COM
mission to investigate the cotton ex-
port situation.
The Senate promptly adopted Sena-
tor Smiths resolution, ana T4oceeded
to the conference report on the war

When the House procured a quorum
an effort was made for agreement
whereby the adjournment resolutions
could be passed and a vote taken on
the currency amendments and the
warehouse bill.
Representative Glass declared that
the Secretary of the Treasury, from a
sick bed. had urged that the currency
amendments which would add $500, ,0OO.-
900 to the credit available in the south
should be passed.
Representative Henry read the Presi-
dents letter urging the passage of the

No agreement was reached, however,
