Dear Sir:

ions of your readers on the present
situation, so will begin by saying that
we are all glad that the State Donkey
Show at Helena has dissolved into thin
air.
If evere there was body of
men displayed their innate cussed-
ness. the majority in the special
session did so.
Votes Ignored.
They seem to think it terrible
thing that paltry thirty three thous-
and voters should set aside the will
of the majority of this august body.
The sneaking manner in which it
was accomplished would do honor to
the methods of a gang of cattle rust
lers.
I did not suppose that the con-
stitution of Montana would allow
a set of political jobbers to dis
franchise citizens of the state;
yet that is what this law does.

Should have been arrested and

which law specifically forbids

malicious.

The Helena Independent throws
quite fit because the Montana Nom
partisan saw fit to criticize Captain
Gleason, of Sidney, for taking it upon
himself as one of self appointed
committee of three to notify three
speakers and number of farmers
'that there would be no Nonpartisan
meeting at Sidney"
For condemning his act as that of
a prig, un-American and an absolute
ly unlawful proceeding, no apologies
are offered. No good American citi-
zen will attempt to interfere with a
lawful assemblage of people.
Leading farmers had asked permis
sion to use the baseball park on the
date referred to, and their request
had been granted. The ball games
were later arranged FOR THE SOLE
PURPOSE OF PREVENTING THE
NONPARTISAN LEAGUE MEET
ING.
Such procedure was an insult to
the farmers, and an insult to the
speakers. 1t was especially ill-becom-
ing for Captain Gleason to approach
Maj. Horst who gave to his country
just as efficient service as Capt. Glea-
son.
The statement made by the Helena
papers that no such man as Maj. Loo
Horst was known to the war depa It.
ment was a lie, pure and simple:
Major Horst served as headmaster of
a Military Academy, was in the SER
vice of his country with the rank of
major, and Uncle Sam thought enough
of him to place him in charge of an
educational institution to teach real

Should Gleason Be Jailed?
To prove that the Montana Nonpar-
tisan is fully justified in condemning
Gleason and his pals for their unlaw-
full exhibitions Of slk-stocking Prus-
sianism, we quote few extracts from
the penal code of Montana, of which
they may no before etaoinetaoitaoi

ers what the New South Wales gov
ernment did for it's drought-stricken
farmers in 1912, said Private Foran
to the Nonpartisan. "New South
Wales when the farmers were dried
out, hauled all stock to a section of
the country where there was plenty
of grass, hay and grain FREE OF
CHARGE and also hauled hay, feed
OF COST.
"Montana dry-landers in many cas-
es need that kind of help now. They
need financing but neither the state
NOR the national government has act
ed promptly. The trouble is the right
men are not at the helm. It will nev-
aer be right till the people run their
own affairs. More men will return
from the service in, full sympathy
with the Nonpartisan League program
than We're in sympathy with it when
they left. In fact all but a few know
its principles are right if they know
anything about it."
Private Foran was fortunate enough
to meet Sgt. York of Tennessee when
he marched big company of Germans
to the rear which he had captured in
No-Man's Land-the prize capture of
the entire war. He met one brother
from Ireland, also in the service by
chance. Nearly all his immediate
family reside in Ireland.
Private Foran would like to meet
editors who have been publishing
falsehoods about the State land banks
in Australia and New Zealand. He
says they are operated for the benefit
of the people, and that in case of
drought, or calamity of any kind the
people are extended legitimate credit
to carry them over, enabling them to
keep up their farms properly in order
to benefit from the good crop years
5hat follow.
"New Zealand is the greatest
country for real cooperation l
ever saw. They ship all their but
ter and frozen mutton and beef to
London through their cooperative
societies and have a salesman
there who get top prices.
''In this manner the men who
produce the wealth get their just
share of the profits. They are not
= robbed by middlemen and prof.
teers. That's what we want in
Montana and throughout the
United States, and that is what
we are going to have"

why TAX PENALTY ON
farm PR0vEMEhTS
IS NOT JUSTIFIED
Rock Springs farmer explains
why League program provides
exemption Of farm improve
ments from taxation. Penalties
progressive ranchers.

Rock Springs, Mont, Aug. 20, 1919
Great Falls, Mont.
There are some people who think
that to exempt farm improvements
from taxation is tax dodging on our
side. Let me ask the public if farm
improvements are bringing in any re-
turns?
Well say for instance, man has a
piece of land with no improvements,
does not he receive just as much re-
turns as the man with the improve
ments, and has no depreciation, while
the improver's money depreciates, but
at the same time makes the country
look like something, while the latter
does nothing to better the country.
A we'll improved country attracts
more attention than one that is not
improved, so why tax the improver to
keep the country in Adams time. It
is enough that the land and stock is
assessed.
Another question I would like you
to answer to the public which has
been put before me: Does, or does not
the cashier of the proposed state
owned bank give bonds for his office?
Yours truly
P. K, A Lacquer.
ED. Note. The cashier, manager,
and all officials to be concreted with
the proposed state bank to provide
rural credits at cost would be fully
bonded, just as they are in the Bank
of North Dakota which is now in oper-
alton. All deposits in the state bank
would also be guaranteed. A state
bank simply places all public funds
where they can be of service of all
the people instead of being turned
over to privately owned banking in
stitutions.)

The gathering at Livingston was
very large and very enthusiastic. It
was held on Mcleod Island afternoon
and evening, and the attendance in
cluded both farmers and Union men.
DR.. Mills discussed at length the at
titude of the Nonpartisan League in
North Dakota towards Labor and the
splendid laws passed by the last ses-
sion of the legislature for the protec-
tion of Labor-laws which were pas
sed gladly and for the asking, organ
lied labor not being compelled to put
up any fight for them, nor to spend
a single dollar"lobbying". His state
ments of facts were listened to with
the keenest attention.
R. A. Haste spoke on the necessity
Of clean. politics. and Major Horst
emphasized the necessity Of at once
enjoying the same type Of Democracy
here as the boys were fighting for in
France.
President Budden, of the Cascade
Trades and Labor Assembly spoke
briefly, but very earnestly and effec-
lively of the great possibilities if the
Nonpartisan League and Labor act
together both on the offensive and de-
fensive, and that such joint action is
the only solution to the problems
which are facing this state. He
showed how the interests Of the two
great bodies of men were identical
that united they could control the
state and divided could do nothing.
More such gatherings will be held
in the coming months and will speed
the day when the old gang domina-
ton in Montana will be completely
broken, supplanted by real rule by the
people.

"The people have already lost
faith in the great cosmopolitan

the great farming population of
the Northwest will have less faith

If Cappy Gleason of Sidney, is
sorry that he insulted Major
Horst by denying him the right to
speak at that place, and wants to
apologize to the farmers who
raise the food that keeps. him
from starving to death, and
wants to admit that he lied when
he said he spoke for the American
Legion when he put the lid on

statement he wishes to make in

Will farmers vote to build court

can thank Cappy for that fine

son said he was speaking for the

GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT
PERMIT FRUIT TO ROT

In sections Of the country where
there is a big supply of fruit and
fruit raisers cannot get enough
for it to pay for the picking the
government should take a hand,
see that help was furnished to
save every bit of it. It is criminal
to permit any food to rot when
millions of people would be glad
to get it at reasonable prices.
Public markets could be utilized
to dispose of it at cost. But then
again, that would interfere with
keeping prices boosted.
