RICH TO PAY FOR WAR,
IS WASHINGTON PLAN

Washington, March 23.-The ad-
ministration has under consideration
plans for a new revenue act con-
scripting all personal incomes in ex-
cess of 800, 900 a year during the
period of war with Germany.
II is estimated that such a law
combined with the increased super
tax on other large incomes, would
produce between $4,000, 100000 and
5000, 000, 900 a year, which the adj
ministration believes would be ade-
quate for the necessities of this coun-
try.
The plans, In addition to contiscat-
ing the excess OF incomes over $780,
900, calls for drastic increases in the
tax rates on incomes under that
amount, ranging from 5 per cent in
smaller ones to so per cent on the
larger ones between $4,000 and $780,
900 a year. and heavy taxes IN cor
poration incomes.
The purpose of such a law, IL Is
stated, is TO have wealth bear its
share of the war burden along with
labor.
The advantages OF the law. In the
opinion of It's sponsors. would be many
fold. In the first place, ii would kill
the cry that war was being waged In
the interest of the immensely rich
for II would wipe out the profits here
tofore derived from war. In the sec,
ond place, II would reduce the bonded
debt placed on future generations.

himself; and, while doing all he
can for the success of his own
crowd, will not carry his efforts to
the extent of depriving the town of
a tangible asset.
And therein lies the keynote to
the success of many towns, regard
less of the fact that they are as
badly divided into factions as 9TH
ems. They have the sense to see
that when their town is deprived of
a profitable industry which it might
have secured, NO ONE has an OPP
portunity to benefit from it. Had
all agreed to pull together and Sc
cure it, then each could have had a
fighting chance for the benefits.
Briefly, the LIVE town does its
scrapping AFTER they have secur-
ed what they go after, instead of
before. The LIVE town realizes
that ALL must work together to
SECURE, but that the scrapping
must be limited to the control.
No doubt many Of our readprs
are acquainted with just such
towns. While they are no strangers
to factions, yet when anything is
proposed that is plainly to the adj
vantage of the community, the cohe-
sion and cooperation is instanta-
neous. They have the good sense
to know that they can't divide theiI
loaf before they secure it, and that
this first consideration of securing
it demands undivided effort.
And right here is a point we
wish to stress, and one upon which
too much emphasis can not possibly
he placed: DON'T CARRY YOUR
FRACTIONAL SCRAPS TO THE
EXTENT OF DOING YOUR TOWN
AN INJURY OR DEPRIyING IT

brought to see things in their true
light, and will all agree to use a
little of the common sense with
which Providence has endowed
them.
We must recognize the fact that
there are factions in ALL towns.
Nevertheless, not all towns permit
these fractional fights to retard their
prosperity. The reason for this is
that the citizens of these towns have
the sense to realize that prosperity
for the town means prosperity for
ALL in the town.
Let us take an example:
A proposition is up to secure
some industry for your town. It IS
something that may possibly not
DIRECTLY affect but a small pro-
portion of the population. Possibly
that small element may all belong
to one of the warning factions. Is
that any reason why the others
should oppose it? Decidedly NOT.
Every citizen who has the real
prosperity Of his town at heart will
at once realize that a direct benefit
to the town is an indirect benefit to-

We read and hear a great deal
these days as to the influence of
factionalism in retarding the growth

many towns are held back from a

PEAR LEAF BLISTER MITE
CAUSES MUCH DAMAGE IN

ing, Especially to Fruit, by Soluble
Sulphur Spray or Lime-Sulphur
Wash; But Best Plan Is to Kill In
sect ut Start by Spraying.

The pear leaf blister mite is a very
pests and does considerable
damage in some sections of Montana.
1t is a very small light-colored spider
with an elongated body that works
both upon pears and apples. When
working on pears, it aus the
leaves to blacken in spots. These
blackened areas represent gals or
swellings of the leaf tissue in the
center of which the mite resides.
When first forming, these gals are
blister-like and reddish in color.
When the mite affects apples, the
gals are brown in color.
During the summer time the mites
live entirely in the blisters, produc-
ing eggs and young inside. At the
appearance of cold weather they mi
crate to the bark of the tree, hiding
themselves in rough bark around
buds and twigs. The general ap-
pearance of an orchard we'll infested
with the leaf mite is that it hasn't
had it's full growth of foliage and
presents a yellowish instead of a
healthy green color. When the in
festation is heavy, trees are some
times partially OF wholly defoliated,
After the mites have entered the
leaf tissue, there is nj way yet
known by which they can be exter-
minated but they a be prevented
from spreading, especially to the
fruit, by a soluble sulphur spray OF
lime-sulphur wash. But the best
plan is to kill them before they gel
to the point when they are protected
from sprays. This is done by .:pray'
ing with lime-sulphur in the spring
just as the buds begin to break ant

when the mites are coming out from
under the bud scales, and are no

GERMAN GUILTY.;
HUNT ON BENCH

A former Montana jurist. Judge
w. H. Hunt, who formerly presided
over the district court of Chouteau
county, al on the bench of ne
United States district court at Fan
Francisco during the recent trial
which ended in the conviction of
Franz Bopp, German consul general
at the Golden Gate, of violating the
neutrality of the United States. Bopp
and five German attaches of the con-
sulate were convicted of having
planned to blow up munition plants
in the United States and Canada,
steamships carrying supplies to the
allies, railroads, bridges and mail
trains. They were also accused of
conspiring to set on foot and pro-
vide and prepare e for a mill
tary enterprise to be carried on from
within the United States against
British territory.
Bopp announced that he and the
four other Germans would file an
appeal from the verdict of guilty
found against them, and accused
Judge Hunt of making ar unduly
long and unusual charge to the
jury, Directing also tt his instruc-
tons as to facts.
An interesting feature of the trial
was the fact that the case against
Bopp and his c~o-defendants was pro-
secuted by a woman, Mrs. Annette
Adams, who is assistant United
States attorney and is recognized as
an extremely able lawyer. District
Attorney Preston became i'll before
the preparation of the case was we'll
under way, and it devolved upon
Mrs. Adams to complete the prepare
ton of, and conduct, the case in
court. The strength of the govern
ment's case, Preston said, was due
largely to Mrs. Adams skillful pre-
s~entation. In her opening statement
for the government she made a most
forceful and scathing attack upon
Bopp and his activities.
Bopp and his associates are sub
ject to a maximum penalty of three
years. Imprisonment and $4,000 fine
each.
Judge Hunt was recognized during
his residence at Fort Benton as an
able jurist and a mar of unusual
mentality. After leaving Montana
he was appointed governor of Porto
Rico and vas subsequently appointed
n of the judges of the federal com
merce court, which vas later alol
ished, For several years he has beer

5000 TRACTORS
ASKED FOR STATE
SINGLE ORDER TEN TIMES AS
GREAT AS TOTAL
1915 SALES.
Auto Pulls Already Sold This Year
Nearly Twice Number Disposed of
Last Year in Montana and Idaho;
C. A. Hunts Brother Gets Agency
for North and South Dakota.

Already this year. c. A. Hunt, who
has the Montana and Idaho agency
for the Auto Pull, the attachment
that enables a farmer to convert his
Ford at any time into a tractor, has
sold nearly twice as many OF the ma
chimes as during the whole Of last
year. A few days ago Hunt sent to
the company's factory at Glencoe,
Minnesota, an order for 100 carloads
of 80 machines each, or a total or
5000 of the tractors.
OF this one order, IA carloads al
ready have been placed. II. E. Hunt
of Fort Benton, to whom a contr ct
has been awarded for the subagency
embracing ChOuteau and Hill coun-
tes, has placed an order with g.. A.
Hunt for two carloads, or 90 ma
chimes, while Isa' re Weber OF Rob-
erts, Idaho, who has the subagency
for the Idaho territory adjoining
southern Montana and Yellowstone
park, has also asked for 80 machines.
A call for five carloads has come
from Teton county. In addition to
these three subagency orders, total
ing nine carloads, c. A. Hunt also re-
ceived orders direct from farmers
and from minor agencies totaling ten
carloads. This makes a total of $40
machines already ordered for 1917,
as against 800 tract, RS sold altogeth-
er in Montana and Idaho, principally
in the former state, in 1916.
Montana was the first field invad-
ed by the promoters of the invention
who were attracted to the Treasure
state by the reports that have spread
through the country of it's wonderful
crop yields and unexampled prosper
ity. Consequently the sales in Mon
tana have far outstripped those IL
any other state. The area over which
the Auto Pull has been sold is fas
increasing, however, and recently thu
agency for North and South Dakot;
was awarded to George A. Hunt,
brother of G. A. Hunt. The latte
has received inquiries from Oregon
although no agency has been estab
lished yet in that state, and a few
days ago a farmer at Madras, Oregon
sent in an order for a machine.
