rants owing the county then being up
to the legal limit Of Indebtedness. 1t
took practically all Of the SLAB, 100000
bond issue which the present board
sold to pay up outstanding warrants
issued during the year 1914. And
these warrants were drawing six per
cent interest whereas the bonds sold
to take up the warrants draw five and
half per cent interest making saw
ing of S715.O0 annually for the tax
payers. Yet the cry is made, "let's
see the books" When the present
board will save the taxpayers $715.O0
per year in interest alone it seems
they are not squandering the funds.
But then this sum, we suppose, is of
such small consequence to those who
put up the howl that they consider
it not worth noticing. In addition
to the money received by the sale of
bonds it required large portion of
the receipts from the regular channels
of taxes to pay up bills contracted by
the preceding board.
Today the bonded Indebtedness of
Valley county is $358, 100000 (Which
includes the S143,OO0.0O to pay old
bills) and there is less than 50,000.00
in warrants outstanding which goes
to show that Mr.. West and Carl j.
Anderson, the two remaining mem
bers Of the board since January first,
1915, have given business like and
economical administration Of the coun-
ty affairs. The expense of the county
increases each year and has increased
annually for practically the entire time
since the county was organized, but
an inspection of the books show that
there was far greater increase ir
the expense in proportion from Janu
ary first, 1913, to January first, 1915
than from January first, 1915, to the
present time.

The chief danger, as we see it, in
continuing the democrats in power in
Washington lies in their utter lack
of any defensive trade policy follow
ing the European war. You can sell
ect six of the national democratic
leaders and get their opinions re-
garding this country's attitude fol-
lowing the declaration of peace, which
must inevitably come during the next
year or so, and you will have six diff
ferent and distinct programs.
Some of them are for straight
| free-trade course. Throw down the
bars, they say, and let us have all
the goods Europe can manufacture.
Another opinion is that we should dis
criminate between what democrats
consider dutiable goods and those pro-
ducts that should be admitted free.
| SLill anOlnef, ana perhaps tne most
popular among the members of the
present congress, is for protecting the
products Of the southern states and
letting those which the north produce
come in duty free.
When the fight for adjustment be-
gins, this latter policy will undoubted-
ly prevail. The cotton and cane-sug-
ar growers Of the southern states will
skim the cream and the northern
states will foot the bills. The demo

WILSON'S WEAKNESS

We don't want war. We don't want
disease. We don't want lot of
things that sometimes come to US un-
solicited. War may never come, nor
disease, nor those other things we
don't want. Only if any of them
come let's be strong enough, clean
enough and willing enough to combat
them.
This, Wilson has failed to make us.
He has failed because he does not
understand and cannot seem to learn
And four years is long time for a
nation of hundred million people to
stand by and wait while one man goes
to school.
A weak man cannot make another
man strong. A weak President can
do nothing for nation. That's Will
, son. He has answered blows with
notes; he has replied to insult with
more notes; and to injury with yet
other notes. He has left American
citizens, who he has pledged to pro-
tect to the mercy of any and all who
choose to rob, to dishonor and kill.
The ocean is laden and the land is
fringed with the corpse of American
men, American children, who, giving
their all to their country, found that
their country would give them moth
ing. No written word of man ever
restrained Nubian lion, a Mexican
bandit, bought German submarine
They live by force alone; and the only
thing they respect or understand is

we do want respect and protection

to demand it; that we would have hat

great period of readjustment which

No democratic statement that we have
yet read gives us even a hint as to the
methods the present administration
proposes to employ to protect the Am
erican workman from the cheap Eur
opean and the American farmer from
the foreigner who can afford to under
sell US in the markets of the world
which deal in raw materials.
Canada will be flooded with settlers
during the ten years following this
European war. They will be attract

the people Of the Northern tier of

who live close to the Canadian line,
will have a competition that will be
ruinous for their products and under

everything the Montana farmer car

been the practice of some Democratic
papers of the county and turning to
the last resort Of lost cause, we
find scurrilous attack made upon ,
the men wo have held the offices Of
County Commissioners of Valley coun-
ty during the past two years. By a
series Of foolish questions, that should
be placed among those coming from
the inmates of an asylum and by dis
torting facts to suit the OCCASION, an
that the county commissioners have,
during the past two years, wasted the
taxpayers money. 1t is an indisput
able fact, and can be proven by the
records in the office of the County
Clerk and Recorder, that the taxpayers
have been saved thousands of dollars
by the careful management of the
county affairs by the commissioners
during the past two years and that
the county was hopelessly in debt
when Commissioners West, Anderson,
and Baylor were elected, due to the
free handed methods of their imme-
diate predecessors during whose term
an Indebtedness of nearly $500, 100000
was built up, which Indebtedness the
present commissioners inherited when
they were elected. Certainly, let US
see into the books, the suggestion is
timely and good and by doing so we
find that the questions asked demon
strate the calamity howlers have
made a lot of vague statements, at
tempting to show condition quite the
| reverse to the true situation. Why
| not examine the reports issued by the
| County Clerk and Recorder and in this
manner learn that the present board
| of county commissioners have served
the county honestly, economically anG
for the best interests of the tax
| payers.
Take for instance, the financial con
dition on January first, 1915, as showr
by the report of the Clerk and Re
corder, when the present commission
