While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive

wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no enc

all gray hairs have disappeared. Alter
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger.

the dairy business in this state is
conducted principally by newcomers
largely on dry land farms by poor
settlers who are trying to make a

Commercial Club Notes

The committee appointed by the
Commercial club at its last meeting
to arrange for the. Fourth of July
celebration has almost completed its
plans and nothing has been overlook
ed to make the day a memorable n
for the city and for the visitors who
will be within our gates on that day.
A band, capable of doing justice to
the occasion will be secured, and the
committee is now negotiating with
several good combinations, before
making a final choice.
The Hon. Charles N. Pray has kind
ly consented to deliver the Grafton on
"tle day we celebrate" and it is for
tunate that such a prominent speaker
has been secured and a gentleman
who has been SO long associated with
Fort Benton.
Mayor f. E. Stranahan will also
address the people and no doubt he
will extend to our visitors the free
dom of the city with full latitude to
go ahead and enjoy themselves.
An important part of the days pro-
gram will be baseball. There will be
two games, one in the forenoon and
one in the afternoon. The local team
will take part in one Of the games
only, so that there will be three Wis
iting teams. If possible, these teams
will belong to Chouteau county, so
that the people of this couny especial
ly will feel that their presence is de-
sired and that they will be made
heartily welcome. The winning team
in each of the ball games will receive
a prize of $50.
For the evening an excellent pro-
gramme of sports has been drawn up
full details Of which will appear lat.
err on, and to wind up the festivities,
dancing will be INDUCED in 'ad lib.
The celebration committee consists
of Messrs. Lockwood. Giddings, U.
S. G. Sharp, McGraw and Vowel, and
any of these gentlemen will gladly
listen to any suggestion that may be
offered in regard to the celebration,
They ask the cooperation of the cit
liens to make the day a thoroughly
enjoyable one, particularly for the
visitors. There will. undoubtedly be
a large number of visitors in town to
take part, and provision is being made
to take car of the women and chill
dren especially. for whom rest rooms
will be provided.

demanded that they be given the pow
er to vote on laws which the legisla-
ture would not put up to them and at
the same time, to approve or reject
laws which the legislature put up to
them.
But, say the lawyers, "the refer
endum is giving the people the veto
power, while the initiative gives the
people the power to propose and en-
act a measure which becomes effec-
tive as law when passed."
In a practical n the initiative
carries the veto power also. The peo-

posed by the few-the signers of a
petition-just as they may reject a
measure proposed by the legislature.

there will be found other lawyers who
will hold that the initiative and refer

do with delegating a certain power

THE VOTERS SHOULD KNOW

Unfortunately the lawyers and the
courts, usually composed of lawyers,
cannot always see their way clear to
apply 1.-The rule of reason" If they
do, they are criticized and if they do
not they are likewise criticized.
The initiative and referendum
amendment to the constitution of
Montana may be found null and void
by the courts because lawyers have
said that 1.-THE initiative" is one
amendment and 1.-The Referendum"
would be another.
The Montana legislature drew and
passed an amendment making provi-
sion for giving the people the power
Of the initiative and referendum in
one amendment. 1t was submitted to
the people and passed six to II Now
come the lawyers and say it is uncon-

should have voted for the initiative

But the fact is the people of Mon

powers embraced in the initiative and

OFFICIAL PAPER OF cHOurEAu COUNTY
NEW METHODS OF TAXATION

According to Of1c1alS OF the Non
Partisan Direct Legislation league, pc.
titions for the initiative bill that pro-
poses new methods of taxation, are
being signed by a large number of
Montana voters. The measure pro-
vides for an annual license fee from
corporations engaged In business in
this state as follows:
Power companies, 1R per cent of
their gross proceeds.
Telephone companies, 2 per cent of
their gross proceeds.
Telegraph companies, 2 per CEN of
their gross proceeds.
Express companies, 4 per cent of
their gross proceeds.
Mining companies, "A of one per
sent of their gross output.
The advocates of these proposed
new methods of taxation claim there
is nothing experimental about the
theory of the bill. 1t is drawn along
the lines followed by many of the old
er and most conservative states. Sta.
tistics gathered by the bureau of cor
porations at Washington and pub.
lished in July, 1911, show that in the
states of New York, New Jersey, Pen
%nsylvania, Vermont, Connecticut and
Delaware general property pays no
tax whatever for the support of the
government. All of the taxes in those
states are derived from license fees
or taxes laid upon corporations, in
heritances, the sale of liquors, etc.
These statistics also show that in all
of the states east Of the Mississippi
river and north of the Ohio river the
constant tendency is to get away from
the levy Of taxes upon general prop
for the public revenues.
In regard to the proposed license
fee upon the gross output of mines, a
a statement made by officials of the
league says the tax will affect only
those mines that are producing a sale
able output. The license fee of one
quarter of one percent upon such
saleable output is so slight that it viii
scarcely be felt by the small mines
while from the larger mines, the con
tribution to state government which
includes the preservation of law ant
order and the protection of property
rights, will be moderate in cOmpari
son with the profits derived.
Producing mines in this state now
only a taxes upon buildings and
equipment, lands at a valuation OF S.
per acre, and one-quarter of n pei
cent upon net proceeds. This is
wholly disproportionate to the taxes
paid by other forms Of property.
The mining of ore tends to eXhaus
forever taxable values. The develop

pa.lying increase in the value of towl
