Ancient Naoraney Laws

The first English law designed for
the suppression Of vagrancy ami the
punishment of vagabonds was put in.
TO effect in the year 1920 Before that
time the Englis. "hobo'' was left to
the tender me-c;es of the local au.
thorities, and there was no general
law dealing with the crime of being
without a home or visible means of
support. Poverty drove thousands to
the streets and highways in the early
part of the sixteenth century.
Under the law the vagrant was to
be whipped and then forced to take
an oath to return to the place where
he was born, or had last dwelt for
three years. This statute did little
good and in 1885 it was supplemented
with an act providing that a vagrant
a second time convicted should have
the upper part of his right ear cut of,
and upon a third conviction should be
put to death.
In 1547 another law was passed,
whereby a ~vagabond was to be brand
ed with the letter "V' and be a slave
for two years. If he escaped and was
caught, he vas branded with an 49,
and became a slave for life. In 1871
the law was further amended, provid
ing whipping, failing and boring o.
the ears and punishment for the frs
conviction and death for the second

Strange that a lucky man seldom

A foolish man is one who imagines
he understands women.

A sensible man is one who has the

If you would avoid that tired feeling

Many a man who isn't quite sure of
the bible may have unlimited faith in

tary Lane had the time personally to
examine into these individual home
stead cases, and grant leniency where
it is deserved.
The fact is that Secretary Lane,
pressed as he is by larger matters,
has not the time to 60 personally in
to the records in individual home
stead ceases, unless it be at the re-
quest of some member of congress,
and in consequence what go forth as
the opinions and rulings of the secre-
tary are really prepared by clerks in
the interior department, most of
whom have never seen an acre of
public land, and few of whom know
anything of the hardships which
homesteaders encounter and must
overcome.
1t is because of this situation that
westerners generally want to amend
the three-year law and by statute pre-
scribe an easier method than that
nov prevailing whereby homesteaders
especially those on rough lands, may
acquire title to government lands
with reasonable expense and effort,
and may be relieved of conditions
which are unjustly burdensome and
which operate to discourage rather
than encourage those contemplating
making homestead entries.

AMEND HOMESTEAD LAW

When congress recOnvenes there
will be an effort made by Senator
Chamberlain, of Oregon, to get all the
senators and members of the house
from the public land states together
with the idea of agreeing on a bill
to amend the three-year homestead
law. There is complaint that the law
In It's present shape is not as benef.
cial as was intended by it's trainers,
n hardship frequently occasioned
by the cultivation clause being the
principal u of dissatisfaction.
There Is much difference of opinion as
to amendatory legislation, hence the
desire to get together and agree on
amendments.
Although the senate has passed the
Borah bill, which proposes to recog.
nize permanent improvements in lieu
OF cultivation as establishing the good
1alth OF homesteaders, there is a great
deal OF objection to this bill in the
house, particularly since Assistant
Secretary Jones. of the interior de
partment, has made adverse recon
mendation. An adverse report from
the department is all the theoretical
conservatiOnists need on which tt
build a strong objection to any mea
sure affecting the public lands, ant
that is the lever they now propose tt
use on this measure.
Every senator and every represen
tative in congress from the west, ant
especially those from the mountai,
states, says a dispatch from Washing
ton, is being flooded with letters O
complaint against the operation o
the law as it stands. 1t is provin
difficult for many homesteaders t
cultivate as much land each year a
the law requires, and If the law is no
amended many honest settlers Wi
lose their homesteads. True, a Gel
tain discretionary power is vested /

reservation might be ample II Secrt

,fflclAL PAPER OF cnOuTEAU COUNTY
WEDNESDAY, JAN. z. 1914.
EXCESSIVE TAXATION

A law passed by the Thirteenth as
sembly, in which municipal corpora
lions and the larger school districts
are required to make annual contri-
buttons to the state treasury, Is a
subject of interest to Montana tax
payers generally. The trustees of the
Fort Benton school district and the
officials of a few cities and towns have
not yet complied with the law, and
are awaiting developments that will
test its validity.
The measure provides for the ex-
animation of the books and accounts
of cities, towns and school districts
of the first and second class by the
state examiner. 1t also requires these
municipal corporations and school dis
tricts to pay into the state treasury
before November 1 of each year con
tributions ranging from $25 to 5000,
according to the grade or class of
each municipality or school district.
These payments would necessarily be
made from funds supplied by the tax
payers of the municipalities and
school districts who have already
paid state taxes to the limit author
ICED by law, and who should not be
taxed any additional amount.
There is a comparatively small
sum involved in this controversy, but
II a legislative assembly has the pow.
er to enforce payment of $25 to 5000
in exces of the constitutional limit
of taxation for state purposes. it has
the power to remove the lid and ex
act amounts largely in excess of these
contributions.
Another instance of excessive tax
alton appears in the collection o.
county road taxes from owners Of
property located in incorporated
towns and cities in various parts O.
the state. No part Of these count,
funds can be applied to the construc
ton or improvement of public high
ways within the boundaries of an in
corporated municipality. The count,
authorities are prohibited from spend
ing any of these funds for such work
The streets and other public thorough
fares in Incorporated cities and town.
must be maintained at the expense O
the municipality.
The collection of taxes for the roaG
fund from owners of property in in
c%Orporated towns and cities has been
in effect for a long period of years
but a change in the law is said to re
move this kind Of excessive taxation
In the event that the municipal au
thorities make a tax levy specifically
for street purposes, the propert,
within their corporate limits is ex
empt from the county road tax; blu,
In municipalities in which a street
tax levy is not made, the county roat
tax applies to all property.

possibly several other municipalities

new HAVEN TANCLE
AT SERIOUS STAGE
Road May BaIk at DivorCing
Steamboat Lines.

Washington, March h16-Department
of justice attorneys in charge of the
New Haven dissolution at their con-
ference with the roads counsel re-
vived their demand that the New
Haven prepare to get rid Of its so
called Sound steamship lines.
The demand came as a surprise to
New Haven officials and TO officials Of
the department itself, not directly con-
nected with the negotiations.
The announcement several weeks
ago by Chairman Howard Elliott that
the railroad and the department had
agreed to agree" declared that Z
New Haven should rid itself of J S
outside steamship lines, but said
plainly that determination of the
Sound lines question should be left to
the interstate commerce commission.
The new development did not tend
tc clarity the situation and it became
more evident that the obstacles in
the path Of complete understanding
are growing more serious as the ne
gotiations continue.

YOUTHFUL BANDITS
GET $4,000 Cash
Hold Up Three Watchmen
Chicago and Loot Safe.

Chicago, March 16.-Laughing bois-
terously six youthful masked bandits
entered the big mail order house OF
the Hartman Furniture company, held
up three night watchmen, and after
blowing the safe escaped with s15.-
900 in cash. They left $4,000 worth
of money orders and negotiable pa,
per scattered about the floor.
Joseph Goldstein, night watchman,
was in the rear of the store when he
heard robbers make a noisy entrance
through a window, all apparently
drunk. They leveled revolvers at
Goldstein and then carried him to the
basement. John Bracket, a night
watchman In the front of the building,
received the same treatment, and Mil.
ton Bendixen, A. ID. T. watchman, who
investigated the noise in the base
ment. was lined up with the others.
The wrecked safe contained a day s

police have no clues.
