STATE SCHOOL FUNDS
SHOW GOOD GAIN

Helena, Jan. 16.-In the five months
from August last to December 81 the
farm loan business of the state has
grown from $4,000 to $448, $40, an
increase of $373,64O This is shown
by the report of Sidney Miller, state
land register, to the state board of
land commissioners, under date of
January 10. Not only has the farm
loan business grown to the extent stat
ed, but the amount of money avail
able for investment from the perma-
nent funds of the state educational
and other institutions has grown in
the five months from $1,5O8, 1882 to
81, 1898, s86.31.
During December the investments
made aggregated S459,101.91, almost
half of that amount, or 1921, 1924
being in state warrants, but these
will be redeemed this month. Other
investments were $780, 900 in Liberty
Bonds, S68,1OO in farm loans, and
$29,278.67 in school bonds.
While during December but SO farm
loans were closed, there were forty
loans accepted during the month, fou,
not being completed. During the same
month the state board of land com
missioners approved As loans aggre.

efficiency men available, it would
seem as though what we needed was
some Napoleon to cut the hawser of
red tape and let in a transport of old
fashioned "horse-sense."
The foregoing is not uttered in a
spirit of criticism, because the condi-
ton long antedates those who now
suffer from it; but rather with the
hope that in our present emergency
all unnecessary rye may be taken
out and short cuts substituted. Far
better sacrifice official etiquette and
time-honored traditions than cause de-
lay of a single day in the delivery to
a soldier of his uniform or rifle.
Since the above was written, the
navy has been found to have gone
ahead and done things, with the most
happy result that. while increasing its
forces about 400 per cent on very
short notice, there appears to be the
necessary naval uniforms and gar.
ments for every man, and sufficient
guns and ammunition. Other depart.
ments likewise can find a way-i1
they will exhibit the same willie
accomplish prompt results, for which
the navy has plainly blazed the way;
by a realization that we are at war
and getting results by cutting out q
lot of red tape. ,,,tt'

RESERVATION HOMESTEADERS
IN SERVICE PROTECTED

According to a bulletin received
here lately, where a person has en-
tered or shall enter land formerly en-
braced in an Indian reservation, for
which he is required to pay a cedtain
price per acre for the benefit of the
Indians, and has entered the military
or naval service of the United States,
the entry will not be Cancelled on &C.
count of the failure of the soldier or
sailor to make the payments of any
amounts falling due during the term
of his enlistment, but it will be held
suspended, pending consideration by
congress of legislation designed to ex-
tend the time for such payments be-
yond the period of military service or
the existing war.
The question whether such entry
men shall be required to pay interest,
except as required by existing laws,
will depend on the terms of the legis-
lation which congress may enact.

CUT U RED TAPE

A somewhat discouraged, though
not defeated tone, marks the words
of our great captains Of industry
men of large affairs-who have been
called to Washington to help in this
great crisis-men who have cheerful
ly left positions paying yearly salaries
that most people would deem a for
tune, to work for 81 a year, says a
writer in a current magazine.
These men accustomed to acting in
stantly in emergencies; men not afraid
to accept responsibility; who think in
terms Of quick results; whose ability

that it is necessary to take 10000

to send somewhere else, at a time
when 10000 tailors in New York City
alone are out of work and with their
families in desperate straits.
The business man accustomed to de-

suits finds his experience with red

Montana shipped 254,3s2 head of
cattle to the eastern markets during
1917. while during the year 1916 ship
ments to the east totaled 153,471. Sec
rotary ID. W. Raymond of the state
livestock commission says figures on
all stock shipped out of Montana dur
ing 1917 are not available, but he pre-
diets that all records have been brok-

Montana broke all records last year
in the number of cattle shipped to the
market, if shipping to Chicago were
IN proportion to those to Omaha and
st. Paul according to figures compiled
by d. w. Raymond, secretary of the
state livestock board. The total ship

probably will be approximately 3OO,-

1916.

THE TRUTH ABOUT
THE GERMAN NATION

As President Wilson says with
great force and verify, eve do not
wish to injury Germany or to block in
any way her legitimate influence or
power. We wish her only to accept
a place of equality among the peoples
of the world, instead of a place of
mastery"
This appalling war is the crimson
flower and fruitage Of two false and
fatal conceptions that trace back 100
years through German philosophy and
s~tatecraft-a delusion that the Ger
man people we're essentially superior
all the other nations and therefore
call by a God-given mandate to make
themselves the masters of this pla-
net.
That insolent assumption runs
through the utterances of such IA
nous German philosophers as Fichte,
Nietsche and Treitschke; and a great
host of minor philosophers and au-
thors, university professors, journal
lists, pastors, public orators, army Of
ficers and toadies have joined in the
acclaiming chorus.
"We feel ourselves to be the bear
ers of a superior kultur," declares DR..
Paul Conrad, pastor of the Kaiser
Wilhelm Memorial church in Berlin,
in his book published in 1915. "We

LAND IN DEMAND

Reports of land sales from over
the state show a change in Montana
that is significant. The fact that
even the best informed do not have a
full appreciation of the growth of
Montana in recent years. Develop
ment is proceeding in this state at a
pace not considered possible a few
years ago, says the Butte Post:
In the past ten years the population
of Montana has been more than treb-
led. Two-thirds of the growth has
been in the agricultural and livestock
districts. These are set out in a re-
port to the governor by Charles D..
Greenfield, commissioner of agricul-
ture and labor. During the last de-
cade, the commissioner says, millions
Of acres of public lands have been set
tied upon, towns have sprung up in
sections which were supposed to be
suited solely for wild game and the
grazing of sheep and cattle; the
school, the church, the banks and mer-
camille establishments, the lawyers
and physicians offices have come with
the settlement of the land.
According to statistics of the agri-
cultural department at Washington,
Montana produced in 1907 four million
bushels of wheat, value at S3,243,-
900. In 1917 Montana produced twen-
ty-five million bushels, although the
season was not favorable. This years
wheat crop has a value of $4,000, 900.
The same story of increased produc-
ton is told by the government statis-

A recent statement from the war
department at Washington says the
total registration of citizens of mill
tary age was 1856, sos; the number
called and examined was 1882 ,949 and
of these 1,057,363 were certified by
the boards for military service. Since
the first call was for only 687, 600
men, there now remains 37O,363 men
waiting to the mobilization
camps.
Of all men 100 LAG, or 217 per cent,
were rejected for physical reasons,
That, it is pointed out, shows an en-
couraging improvement in the physi.

nation since civil war days, for at
that time the draft authorities reject

HARNESS OUR WATER POWEF

HARNESS OUR WATER POWER
In the early days of this country
the grist mill was built where there
was water power, and in time other
industries also located there for the
same reason. Many of u largest
manufacturing cities have grown up
around these grist mills. But many
of the best water powers were so in
accessible, and the surrounding coun-
try so unfit for agriculture, that no
mills and towns have ever taken ad-
vantage of the cheapest mill power
known.
Today, thanks to the electric motor,
transmission lines, and high voltage,
the factory may locate convenient to
transportation and labor, and have the
water power brought to it.
Every twenty-four hours there goes
to waste unused water power equiva-
lent to the coal energy of 1000, 900
tons, or 365, 900 900 tons each year. At
a low average of present prices this
waste represents $4,000, 900, 900 yearly.
Switzerland gets her coal from
Germany. This year the supply is
only two-thirds of requirements, yet
Switzerland will pay Germany rel
81, 000, 900 for coal. At the present
moment there are undeveloped water
powers in Switzerland amounting to
100000 horsepower which, with the
$4,000 horsepower already harnessed,
would make Switzerland almost indie
pendent Of outside coal supply.
Our own unused water powers re-
main undeveloped because the restric-
tions u government demands do not
appeal to private enterprise, which
naturally is reluctant to invest vast
sums under a franchise which may be
terminated at any time. With the
financial burdens with which our gov
eminent will emerge from this war, it
will doubtless be years before congress
would feel justified in appropriating
the money necessary to make this de-
velopment. 1t would seem wise,
therefore, rather than wait an indefi-
mite number of years, that a franchise
of say fifty years should be granted,
with privilege of taking over the pro-
perties at the end of that time on
some basis of valuation fair to gov
eminent and owners. On such a basis
development would begin at once.
In the meantime the 1000, 900 tons
value Of coal is rushing to the sea
every "a hours, an absolute waste
without the slightest benefit to any
one.

tics of every other staple crop grown

There are government statistics that
explain, in part, at least, the extraor-
binary demand for Montana farm
lands at the present time. The pub
lie domain is not exhausted in this
state; but the best of the lands open
to the settler have been taken and
homeseekers find it to their advantage
to look to other sources for land.

This ridiculous and violent bombast

tragic. 1t shows to what wide de-
narture from the truth an inordlnate
conceit can carry individuals and ma
tons.
It has no foundation in fact. The
lamentable truth is that the German
people are being carried down to a
status of national i~nferiority by their
overpowering egotism, their gross ma
terialism and their craze for militar-
ism.
Their art is inferior to the art of
France and Italy. Their literature
does not least up to the glory of
English letters. They fall short of

inventice genius.
Take the great modern inventions
that have revolutionized world life in
the past $50 years:
The steam engine.
Steamboats, and railroads.
The electric telegraph.

The telephone.
Wireless telegraphy.

The automobile.
Electric lights.
The photograph.
The typewriter.
Animated pictures.
The rotary printing press.
Modern farm machinery.
The gas engine.
Not one of these world changing in
ventions came out of Germany.
Medical science has throttled ty-
phoid, smallpox, yellow fever, diph-
liberia and rabies, and is now conquer
ing infantile paralysis. Germany's
contribution to this splendid benefit
n has been practically nil.
Take again the realm Of exploration
and discovery. What Germans have
found new lands or explored unknown
continents? Columbus and Cabot dis
covered America, and before their day
Scandinavian seamen were on the
verge of that great revelation.
What nations poured the light into
the dark places of the globe? Italians

men were early abroad with vision

an American the Columbia. An Amer
lean broke the long slumber and iso
lation of Japan. An American, Stan
ley, and two Britons, Spoke and Liv
ingstone, penetrated the deepest re
cesses of darkest Africa.
