What the Germans really will do
about the treaty is still the subject OF
much speculation. Opinion in Paris
that they ultimately will sign is un-
changed, and is supported by advices
from Berlin to the effect that a power
full party is growing there In favor OF
submitting to the allies and gaining
peace that will permit the resumption
Of business. In this the Independent
Socialists are Joined by bankers, mer-
chants and many others, who say that
anything would be preferable to boil
shevism. In Washington it is believed
that the Ebert government may retire
temporarily in order to let a dummy
government approve the treaty, The
dummies thereupon would be ousted by
public opinion and the Ebert crowd
could return, but the treaty would have
been signed.

What shall be done with Turkey?
was a question that occupied the atten-
ton of the council of four last week,
President Wilson acting rather in an
advisory capacity since America was
not at war with the Porte. Some of the
delegates wish the sultan to be re-
moved to a small territory In Asia
Minor and Constantinople turned over
to the United States under mandate.
The Indian delegates, however, fear
that to force the sultan to quit Con-
stantinople would cause great trouble
in the Mohammedan world, and there
fore the British prefer that he be left
there but with only spiritual powers
Though it seems to be accepted that
America shall be the mandatory for
Armenia, it is not at all certain that
the American people would be willing
to take charge Of the Turkish capital.
Continued fighting between the Poles
and the Ukrainians gave the delegates
added trouble, for the Ukrainians, who
were losing ground in Galicia, com
planned bitterly, blaming the insane
policy of the allies in supporting the
Poles" Paderewski apparently cannot
compel his countrymen to cease hos
~tilities, and the council of four took
under consideration the wisdom Of
giving further support to any people,
who refuse to obey orders from the
conference. Jews throughout the worldI
also have been aroused against thet
Poles by reports Of bloody pogroms in
which thousands of their race havef
been slain, and mass-meetings of pro-
test were held last week in the larger
American cities. The leaders Of the

limit" However, the Germans choose
to remember rather his former stand,
and on that and the Fourteen Points,
they base most Of their objections to
the treaty terms. Those points are
especially emphasized in the statement
issued last week by the Scheidemann
cabinet which says Germany cannot
possibly accept the treaty as formu-
lated. s4sears -~-~

Montana Mine Taxes

as it can be measured on the basis of
available Page 70.
The book on the next page tell how
the mining interest protected them
selves by the constitution in the fol-
lowing words:
"The primary difficulty is the con-
stitutional provision prescribing a
special method for taxing the mines.
This constitutional pro-
vision is a legal device which spikes
the wheels of economic law in the do
main of mining. It fixes an arbitrary
value on the surface which is one Of
the elements in the valuation Of a
mine. But the greatest significance
Of this provision is that it limits the
powers of the legislative bodies Of
the state to tax the mines in any
way which may be deemed necessary.
No other class of property in Mon
tana is protected by such special con-
stitutional enactments. The
mines alone are accorded special con-
stitutional protection. Page IA.
After carefully reading the above
from sources that are not political,
one can understand why Will Camp
bell, the fanatical tool Of the A. c. NJ.
Co., holding down the job as editor
of the Helena Independent is SO pa
triotic and why he has such spasms
about the farmers Nonpartisan
league, which will make the plumber
bund who hire him pay their just
share of the states taxes.
It isn't the sold flag" that Camp
bell worries about; it's the profits of
his masters.

position to the war, for there are no
open covenants of peace openly ar
rived att" there is no "self deremina-
ton of people"
And while we were fighting, sup
posedly to make the world safe for
democracy, and proclaiming the right
of "self determinations" fighting with
England, we never could lose sight of
Ireland, which for a thousand years
has been crying for liberty, which has
never been anything else but a sub
iect nation, which nation was in open
rebellion during the great war, still
crying for it's liberty, and that cry
not heard by the nation which sets
itself up as a judge of the motives
and acts of all other nations.

tears to the eyes of elderly lovers" "
the world over, but pure and demo-
cratic England can't hear it and re-
fuses to make her own acts consist
ent by Immediately recognizing the
independence of the subjugated and
oppressed island.
What is "self determination 2"
It is giving the peoples of certain
nationalities and territories the right
TO determine for themselves, their
future allegiance or form of govern
ment.
Has the principle of self determina-
ton been offered to Alsace-Lorraine !:
Is that principle being offered to
China? Is it being applied to Russia
or even to Germany? :,
Is not France and Italy crying for
revenge, as an excuse of perperating
upon the people of the world as great
crime as the "Huns" themselves
planned?
And in the last analysis, is a
French, English, Italian, Japanese
yoke, more to be desired, than the
yoke of the horrible Hum"
It is commencing to appear that
world democracy has been betrayed;
that our blood and fortunes have been
poured out for European imperialism

Steel Trust Says 1t Will Not Fight
Tonnage Tax.
instead Commercial Organizations
Are Aeitated to Stage Fight
Against It.

Announcement has just been made
by the steel trust in Minnesota,
through it's high political chambers,
that the trust itself is not going to
fight against the tonnage tax in the
legislature.
1t will maintain it's usual expensive
lobby to prevent passage Of the tax
legislation.
Under the present system of taxa
ton, the steel trust pays taxes on an
estimate of the amount of ore under
the ground Under the proposed tax
it would pay taxes on every ton OF
ore as it is taken out of the ground.
The steel trust now says that it is no
longer interested in which form OF
taxes is assessed.
But it has gone farther than that.
It has pointed out to the commercial
clubs and business men of the Me-
saba range where the steel trust oper-
ates that if the tonnage tax which has
the support of progressives Of Mime
sofa is passed the tax money now
available for lavish improvements on
the range will be diverted equally
through all of Minnesota.
Thus the steel trust got out from
under the fight against the tonnage
tax by passing the task to the range
commercial clubs. They will be used
as the pawns of the steel trust. and
they have already started their fight
The steel trust insists that it will
have nothing to do with the fight.

new bo6.;, entitled, "The Taxation of
Mines in Montana" written by Louis
Levine, Phi. d., Professor Of Econom-
les, Of the State University of Mon
tana who is also the author of sever
al other learned studies in economics.
On page 70 Of this book the follow
ing enlightening fact relative to the
taxation Of the A. c. M. Co. appear:
During the fve-year-period 1913
II the average assessmen of the A.
C. NJ. Co. was 6.6 per cent of the to-
tai assessment of the state, and the
Company paid CT per cent of all
taxes collected in the state. The
Company was assessed at about rs
per cent OF the true value of all its
properties in Montana, while agricul-
tural land is reported to have been
assessed at 35 per cent, livestock at
IS, bank stock at so. During the
same period the A. C. N. Co. paid
about the same number Of mills on
its assessments as all other property
in the state; but the A. c. M. Co.
paid only about mills on the esti-
mated true value Of its Montana pro-
perties, while all other property pal
an average Of II TO IA mills. And
finally, the A. C. NJ. Co. paid in taxes
10 the state about 6 per cent OF its
incomes derived from operations in
Montana, while other property, espe-
cially farming property, paid an az
erage Of 10 to IL per cent. This then
is the comparative tax burden [of the

DEDICATED TO LUNDBERG

- y " =
1,bara was an unorganized farmer,
Who lived out east Of this burg.
And used to write hash for the pa
pers;
His neighbors called him LundDerg.
When Lundberg drinks his gin rih
All he can see is BulsheviH.
The little snakes crawl around in his
bed
And the Unorganized farmer sees
everything red.
He roasts his neighbors and fellow
men,
Who eat substitutes that he threw in
the pen.
And while farmers sons died every
hour,
Patriot Lundberg ate his white flour.
Lundberg's articles which are no good
Find access in scandalous sheets in

But this you can stick in your mouth
and chew:
Their readers are very, very few.
His articles, they show no reason.
They read like June rose out of sea-

ago,
But the farmer now che wants to

Self Determination

All during the late unpleasantness
with the Germans, those who OPP
posed the war, were held up to scorn,
and were pointed out as traitors, not
only to the "stars and stripes" but
to the ideals Of world democracy. 1t
was pointed out that the pacitists,
while their opposition to the war, was
above criticism as to theory, but as
an actual fact, granting the soundness
of the ideal, the pacifsts as a result
Of their activity were actually aiding
the cause of "Hun autocracy," in its
ruthless, Goddess war against the
ideals of democracy, world democra-
cy, if you please, and a person, actu-
ated by any ideal, mattering not how
pure and holy nor how vile and low,

supporter and an enemy of mankind,
besides being a traitor to his coun-

of American entry into the war In the
cause of democracy and self deter

that the national attitude, was cor

Two Red Flag Bills.

The Minnesota legislature is going
to be entertained shortly by impas-
stoned oratory on two red flag bills.
The reactionaries in the house and
senate are supporting the Nimocks
bill, which, in addition to barring the
red flag, will forbid the display of Non
partisan league remnants, union labor
emblems or flags of fraternal organi-
cations. The other red flag measure,
introduced in the senate by e. M.
Erickson, labor man from Duluth, is
straightforward bill, which prohib-
it's the display of any red flag except
as a sign of danger and warning.
