the original English words, he was
given to understand that that fact
made no difference. The critical atti-
tude of the objcctors was plainly that
because beautiful English songs had
been embalmed in beautiful music by
an Austrian dead nearly century
ago, the songs had become deadly prop
aganda. 1t might be asked if there is
not danger that when the reaction sets
in the French, Russian and American
song composers who have monopolized
the programmes of song recital givers
will not be in the same degree neg
lected. There is always danger in
extremes. The effect of the agitation
against German music, except that of
living composers, has been negligible
in the pianoforte and violin recitals

PROFITEERS IN NATIONAL PARK
ExtOrtiOnate Charges for Transports
tiOn Through Wonderland Being
Brought Before Congress.

Various newspapers OF the north
west are giving much space lately to
the charges of protiteering preferred
against the Yellowstone Park Trans
portation company, the yellow car
outfit which is operating Il monopo-
listic government concession in the
Yellowstone park. The matter has
been taken up with members of con-
gress with a view to either throwing
the Park open TO competition i'll the
matter of the hauling of h people
through their own pleasure ground, or
cutting down the present eNorbitant
and eXtOrtionate charges.
1t is pointed out by men who are
familiar with conditions of travel and
traffic to the park from all parts of
the United States. that Wonderland"
as it is popularity called is coming i'll
for a full measure of knocking" by
people who make expensive train
trips from PARKWAY places. only to
find that they are being held up by
the transportation company. which
charges so per person for driving
them through the Park. n distance Of
160 miles. They figure that 100 miles
for So. eleven passengers TO Il ear. is
at the rate of S1.56 per mile for the
vehicle. the highest rate for tranSporta-
ton charged anywhere in the civil
lied world.
II is Il matter of absolute truth. as
well us of record. that II prominent
Montana resident, in order to expose
the ~rottenness of the Yellowstone Park
concession graft. offered the heads of
the Interior department in Washing
ton the sum of $500,O00-half n mil
lion dollars-if they would give him
the same transportation concession. at
the same authorized rate for passen-
ger traffic. that they gave to the pres
ent holders of the concession abso-
lutely for nothing.

CITY TAX LEvIES INCREASED.
State, County and School Tax Levies
Are Less Than Last Year, but
City Taxes Take a Jump.

At the recent meeting of the county
commissioners the tax levies for the
county were made. the general tax for
state county and school purposes being
lowered somewhat from last years
schedules, while the levies for the
various towns of the county were ma
terially increased in order to provide
revenue for the municipalities to make
up for the decrease in revenue aus
by the closing of the saloons, which
formerly paid large amounts into the
municipal Golfers.
The state levy this year is 3.56 mills.

levy .00111 mills. all three being slight
ly below those of last year. The in
crease in the levies for the various
towns is shown in the following table {:

Increase in State Wealth.

With oil properties. lands and other
assets of Wyoming soaring in value,
figures have been given out by the
state board of equalization showing
that WyOming's increase this year in
assessed valuation has scared from
$29S.000, 900 last year to 1915. 100000
this year, an increase of ST, 200, 900.
The state tax this year is 81 mills, "A
decrease of one mill over the assess
ment last year, but with valuations
raised it means that the amount of tax
money raised will be greater than last
year, the estimate being that it will be
S230,000 more than last year.
Laramie county takes first place in
valuation this year with around $685.
100000 to its credit. which will require
a payment of $117,4S0 into the state
treasury. Natrona county. on account
of its great oil development, comes
second, with "A 32.000,O0O valuation,
and will pay S117,4S0 to the state
for taxes. Sweetwater county. with
S3O.O00,0 00 comes third, and will pay
$1O6,S00.
Sheridan county comes fourth in the
list of counties with "a valuation of
$2S,O00,000 and will pay into the
state treasury S99.3i0, which will be
S10,640 more than last year.

MARKING ROADS is GOOD PLAN.
One That Should Be Looked After by
the Business Interests of Ev-
cry Live Town or City.

"Oue of the most important things
for IA community TO consider as an
advertising feature to make Il good
impression on the travelling public -
says a prominent business man of this
state in an article recently published
in the Billings GaZett lis the road
sign which tells travellers the correct
way to go. This is almost as good as
good roads. II does not cos nearly
as much by thousands of dollars.
"a great nan towns which bid for
the tourist trade have mad 1t n point
to post on the corners of the streets
leading out and int the town, sign
boards that will tell the stranger
where the road leads to. so that he
will enter and leave the town with
pleasant thoughts. The first and last
impressions are the ones that linger
long in the memory of the tourist. If
the trayeler gets started right it leaves
a pleasant thought of the community
that has so thOugtfully provided him
with a n to proceed On his way
without having to ask questions.
