GUS states and our national government have besn
and are being called upon to solve. Therefore. the
people Of the state should be extremely interested In
the men selected BY this commission to do the ac-
tual work which It IL called upon to supervise.
Wisconsin is generally conceded to have the most
efficient and progressive laws Of any state in the
Union and this is largely the result Of having
avaed itself Of the services Of experts found in
the ranks Of its university professors.
Montana has an university and 1t has on its staff
men familiar with the taxation question. The uni
vcrsity has professors who have made this particu-
lar subject speciality. 1t is to be hoped that the
commission will call to It's assistance some man
like Professor Levine, who will be able to lend VAL
liable help toward compiling report from which
the next legislative session can. il 1t will obtain
some information which would lead to the enact
ment OF real tax law.
The question of selecting legislature which can
il it will is up to the people themselves.

At the same time, these transactions will cause a wide shifting of investments; prevent ing any further sales of foreign hold ings on this side, and materially re- stricting the amount of American money going into new domestic enter prises. For period at least, many extensions, improvements and en- largements will have to be postponed. A few years ago our railroads were accustomed to absorb about billion dollars annually and hundreds of
 millions at the same time went into all kinds of industry. Such invest ments will be largely curtailed until the war is over, when they will again be taken up. There has been con- siderable uneasiness. perhaps more

midate capital and discourage new enterprise. There is much difference of opinion as to what proportion of the cost of the war should be borne by taxation and what by bonds. So far as taxation goes, the object should be to raise as large 8 sum by taxes as feasible and consistent with an equit- able distribution upon classes: the higher rates of course falling upon those best able to bear them. At the same time, serious self-injury would be inflicted if the rates were carried so high as to dry up the springs of capi- tai and impair home enterprise. This is a problem which congress is en- deavoring to solve; and the adminis- tration can no doubt be safely de- pended upon to handle the expected bond and note issues with as little public inconvenience as possible. One decidedly encouraging feature was the that the Interstate Commerce Commission would grant the rail- roads their requests for an advance in rates to compensate for recent in- creases in expenses.

DOESN'T OPPOSE CITY GUARD.

Commander of Company E Does Not
 Want To Be Misunderstood.
 Lieutenant Griffin of Company B to- day made a statement in which he de- clared that he did not want to be con- sidered as opposed to the City Guard. '"The police department, the special policemen and the City Guard all have their place in the city and don't want anyone to think that I oppose them. On the contrary I would be only too glad to do anything I could to assist this organization in any way" he said.
 When the Rifle club was orkanized and the military company was planned the troops had not been mobilized and Lieutenant Griffin, then a civilian, had been selected as one of the drill in- structors. He has not lost his interest in the welfare of the organization and still stands ready to help all he can. Many people have mistaken his mo- lives for calling attention to the in- discretion of the officers of the City Guard for wearing insignias which only commissioned officers in the ser vice of the United States are entitled to wear.

SKIPPER OF BRITISH VESSEL
 WHO REFUSED GERMANS AID

A wireless dispatch from Berlin, dated March 2, announces the death of Captain William Martin, skipper of the British trawler King Stephen. The Overseas News Agency quotes the Lokal Anzeiger on bis death as follows:
 Captain Martin, according to reports in English papers, died as the result of perse cution. They say that he received threat ening letters from English people who mean well toward the Germans and that he was go deeply moved by them that he finally became insane. Captain Martin, on Feb. 2, 1916, ordered that the crew of the dis abled airship L-l9 should perish miserably His death perhaps will be warning to some of his comrades"
 Dispatches from London on Feb. 4 1918. sad Captain Martin saw the German Zep- pelln L-19 in wrecked condition in the North sea- and did not save the crew of the Zeppelin because he feared the German would overpower the small crew of the trawler. The German war office on April 26, 1916, announced that German naval force had sunk the King Stephen and made the crew prisoners
