Is 1t Too High?

County Clerk Babington's an
nual statement Of the county
finances for the fiscal year end
ing November 80, 1914, is an
elaborate affair and shows the
county's condition in every de-
tail. The report is complete,
apparently.
1t shows, among other things,
that during the year ending
November 30th, Missoula county
paid out for printing, stamps
and stationery, the sum of $12,-
1886. Allowing 10 per cent OF
this amount for postage, which
should be sufficient, it leaves a
printing bill for the county of
$40, 966.38, practically all OF
which was paid to the Missoul-
ian. Is there any wonder why
the old board of county commi-
sioners were so anxious to make
a tWo-year contract just before
the new board went in office on
January 1st? Do you wonder
why the Missoulian espoused
the cause of Frank Nelson? Is
there any question about who it
will support in 1916? Ten
thousand a year is a pretty nice
little rake off. Can the tax
payers of Missoula county say
they like it?

Unfair to Newspapers

There are two proposed meas
ures pending in the state senate
and house which are SO mani
testify unfair to newspapers that
every newspaper in the state
most heartily should condemn
them, and, whrt is more, the
facts regarding them should be
made so evident that the justice
of the newspaper claim as to
those measures improperly
would be sanctioned by the en-
tire state.
The bills in question relate to
the giving of county printing
contracts, their purpose being to
make it possible to award such
contracts to job printing offices
not connected with newspaper
establishments.
There are a thousand argu-
ments that could be offered
against such measures as those.
When a new community begins
it's career, is it the newspaper or
the job office that first establishes
itself in that new locality, being
willing to share the towns ups
and downs and lend it's best ef-
forts toward the upbuilding of
the place?
1t is the newspaper, of course.
When the town is we'll estab-
lished, when it's business houses
and other commercial enterprises
are on a sound foundation and
there is work to be secured in the
printing line, then comes the job
printing office to reap the bene-
lift.

SENATE PASSES

The Amin measure, providing
for constitutional amendment

the manufacture, sale or intro

was passed by the state senate
in committee of the whole last

allows wine for sacramental pur-
poses and ceremonial uses of
lodges, and alcohol for scientific
purposes, to be introduced into
the state.
Under the bill, if approved
by the voters, prohibition will 20
into effect on December 81, 1918.
AS amended in the senate, the
measure is considerably less
drastic than as'reported from the
committee and more lenient than
Amin intended.
A measure similar in charac-
ter, except that it is not intended
to make it an amendment to the
constitution, has passed the
house and will soon be before
the senate. That a strong effort
is being made to put Montana
in the dry column is certain.

The above is one paragraph
from an editorial in a recent

opposed the organization of the
county. Had the people Of the
new county returned a democrat
senator and a democrat represen-
tative the Miner would look at it
different. In other words, the
political complexion of the terri
tory to be included in a new
county is to be the basis of
fitness.

The Dacia

Newspaper readers will watch
with interest the outcome of the
sailing of the Dacia for Rotter-
dam. The ship carries cotton,
the final destination of which is
Berlin, and the value Of the cargo
is close to a million dollars. More
or less directly involved in the
fate of the Dacia is that of the
ship purchase bill of President
Wilson, says the Helena Record.
This German ship, interned in
a Texas port, purchased by a
German-American citizen, sails
for Rotterdam flying the Amer
ican flag. Great Britain declares
she will sieze the vessel and take
it before a prize court, but, as a
matter of courtesy to the owners
of the cargo. will send the cot
ton on to Germany free of
charge. The American war risk
bureau has insured the cargo.
Great Britain bluntly declares
that the transfer to American
registry, under the circum-
stances, is invalid. But the real
motive of her action is that her
acceptance of the Dacia as a
bona fde American ship would
be construed as precedent un-
der which the United States
might buy the huge vessels in
termed at New York and supply
Germany with $50, 100000 or
$40, 900, 900 to prosecute the war.
One cause of suspicion, per-
haps, is that inception of the
Wilson shipping plan is credited
to German-American banking in
terests in New York, and that
it's strongest supporter is Paul
NJ. Warburg, formerly Of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., president Wilson's
appointee to the federal reserve
board and a close confident of
Secretary McAdoo.
Mr.. Warburg is a native of
Hamburg and has been an Amer
ican citizen only a short time.
This is no just reason for doubt
ing his neutrality, perhaps, but
Great Britain has pointed out in
other instances that Germany
for years has been putting able
men in positions of power in for
eign countries, and she frankly
charges the Dacia incident to
German intrigue.

Through the Canal

President Wilson insists that
he still expects to make his
contemplated trip through the
Panama canal to the San Fran
cisco exposition in March, de-
spite the report of Colonel Co.
thels that he can not guarantee
passage of battelships through
the waterway. Colonel Gothels
says that ultimately the slides
will be cleared away and that
there will be no permanent inter-
ference with traffic.
