principles Of road legislation and will
safeguard the expenditure Of the funds

II. The Federal Reserve Act heno.
fits the farmer, MS it docs all the other
people of the nation. by guarantecin.
better banking, safeguarding the cred.
1t structure Of the country, and pre-.
venting panics. It takes particular
note Of the special needs of the farmer
by making larger provision for loans
through national banks on farm mort
cages and by giving farm paper a ma.
turity period of six months.
II. It was essential, however. that
banking machinery be devised which
would reach intimately into the rural
districts. that 1t should operate on
terms suited to the farmers needs.
and should be under sympathetic man
agement. The need was for machinery
which would introduce business meth
DDS into farm finance, bring order out
of chaos, reduce the cost Of hand]in:
farm loans, place upon the market
mortgages which would be a safe in
vestment for private funds. attract in
to agricultural operations a fair share
of the capital of the nation, and lead
to a reduction of interest. These needs
and these ideals have been met by
the enactment Of the Federal Farm
Loan Act.

result in making agriculture more pro-

HE'S COMING BACK To
Old MONTANA.

A.. J. Kimball, formerly a resident of FORSYTH.
Montana, has been travelling through the far eastern
states recently. Under date of June oath, 1916. he
writes from East Lynn, Mass, saying that he had
spent several weeks in the state of Maine and was
appalled, at the social and industrial conditions that
he found in that state. Buildings were empty. labor
idle, taxes are high, people are disconnected and a
grouchy way of living has taken possession of the
population and poverty is written across the face of
the state.
He says: Il was present at the police court in the
town of Chelsea, Maine, and witnessed a case where
one energetic resident sued a neighbor for IS cents
for milk. The defendant filed a counter claim for "a
cents for his boys time in taking the milk back on
account of the milk being sour" Mr.. Kimball fur.
Their states: II wish to God the people of Montana
that are crying for prohibition could come here and
take a trip through Maine. They would mighty soon
change their mind. ] am going back to Forsyth and
dear old Montana as fast as | can go. Montana is
good enough for me. | agree with you it would be
a mighty good thing to let her alone.'

WOULD REFORM TAX SYSTEM
New Governor Believes Taxation Not
acknowledgements Whole
System As Inconsistent.

In his inaugural address to the legis-
lature n the people of his state Gov.
Bilbo, in plain, bold speech fairly takes
the cover Off, in order to paint with
emphasis what he considers the most
defective point in the whole govern
mental system of the state, which is
its taxation and fiscal system gener-
ally. He exposes or emphatically
states the Inequalities of the whole
taxation and revenue, and declares
that, the constitutional mandate to
the contrary, taxation is mot uniform
and equal" and the whole system he
~characterfzes as altogether i~nconsist-
ent and reprehensible.
He declared, with ~positiveness, that
so long as he remains governor he
will not sign an appropriation meas
ure which will carry the disburse-
ents beyond the He as en-
p~hatically fnveighs against the policy
which has prevailed of borrowing
money for current expenses of govern
ment, as has been the custom for the
past tel years." and insists hat "ne
ther should h tax levy be increased"
He argued for a more modern, adapt
able and uniform system of levying OF
assessments for taxation purposes, and
shows the a%bsurdity of trying to go for
ward under the present system. He
comes out squarely for a constitutional
convention, as the best and most direct
means of ~remedying the present de-
fects, pointing out that after a quarter
of q century of service the constitu-
ton of 1890 in this day and generation
has become obsolete.
The address of the new governor is
a strong state paper, in which not only
are conditions stated, but methods OF
improvement and remedy are stated
with emphasis and clarity of express
sion, which will, at n rate. invite
thought and no doubt provoke discus
sion.

pinned the bill, according to the sser's

again visited the gypsy queen. He

was pinned over his heart. She said

queen herself to wear the bill next

August were to get his wish" She
promised him that inside of three
weeks he would be worth $4,000.

GOOD FOR THE COWS
Plant, Better Known in Southwest a.
Prickly Pear, Tends to Increase
the Milk Flow.

Cactus, or prickly pear. the name 1t
goes by in the Southwest, has been
found a good feed for dairy cows. The
government has Investigated its mer-
its and drawbacks with these results:
It responds to cultivation, and after
two years growth from old roots will
yield as high as 100 tons per acre with
an average of about forty tons. In a
Texas experiment, steers required 55
pounds Of the prickly pear and two
and one-half pounds of cottonseed
meal to make one pound of gain.
When planted artiflcially and cult
waited cactus does we'll in rows eight
feet apart with the plants 80 inches
apart in the rows. Planting the rows
six feet apart was found to be too
close for convenient cultivation on ac-
count of the rapid growth Of the cac-
tus.
Dairy cows fed prickly pear singed
in the field with a gasoline torch Ito
burn of the spines) gave more milk
than COWS receiving an ordinary ra-
ton. but the milk was lower In but
terfat. Prickly pears are exceedingly
%succulent. They had no influence on
the flavor of milk or quality of but
ter. Nor, as has been the belief of
some dairymen in southern Texas, did
he prickly pear injure the keeping
quality of milk.
The cost of burning the spines OF
the pears was found to be about fifty
cents per ton. One and two-thirds
gallons of gasoline and so minutes
time were needed to SINCE one ton A
cheaper way is to burn the spines on
over a brush fire, but this is practical
only when small amounts are fed.

in the sum of $50, 1000 shall be issued

was held last year and the bond issue
carried by a majority of about four to
one, but the attorneys, to whom the
bonds were submitted would not ap-
prove them on account of a defect in
