A perusal of the figures showing
the assessed valuations placed on the
Montana Power company, the Great
Falls Power company, the Thompson
Fails Power company, the Montana
Reservoir and irrigation company
and the Butte, Anaconda and Pa
cific Railway company, all of which
arc owned by the Rockefeller inter
ests through the Anaconda Copper
Mining company, shows that these
companies are paying taxes on only
40 per cent or approximately 20 per
cent Of their actual physical valua
tions.
In order that the public may know
the real facts which show that. while
the Great Northern railroad, the
Northern Pacific, the Billings and
Northern and the other big corpora
1ions OF the state which are not at
filiated with the Anaconda Copper
Mining company are assessed on val
uations, which while not nearly Lheir
actual valuations are still within
reason, the companies owned by the
Anaconda company are favored by
valuations.
For instance, in making its report
to the state public service commits
sion, on which report the rate for
service which may be charged the
public and which is demanded in or
der that the company may secure q
fair return on its monetary value, Z
the Montana Power company report
ed that its actual physical valuation
on June so, 1918, was $50. .609,-
473.11. Since that time, more than a
year ago, it is to be assumed that
the property valuation has greatly
increased.
But for purposes Of taxation the

erty as returned to the state board Of

TO REST WITH
CONGRESS
Especial United Press Wire. }

Especial United Press Wire.)
Washington, Sept. i.-With the
senatorial opponents to the treaty
and the league of nations planning
a tour over the ground now being
covered by Wilson, the leaders of the
various senate factions are count
ing noses in an effort to determine
their voting strength.
Leading democratic senators de-
clare that 20 democratic senators
will vote for reservations to the
treaty and 90, will vote for unquali-
fled ratification. Mild reserya-
tionists' and the Lodge group are
trying to compromise their differ
ences over wording of the reserva-
ton in article 10 i'll the league COW
enant, which is now the real issue
among those favoring reservations.
Lodges proposal, which was
adopted by the foreign relations
committee, is for the reservation
which assumes the United States will
stay out of foreign wars over terri
toria inyasions, except of the most
extreme provocations. Mild reser-
vationists" would allow the United
States to go to war, if it was plain
case of unlawful aggression. Both
proposals leave the United States
free to decide through congress-, as
to when it will go in and to what

OF the Henningsen company was re-
ceived over the press association

comment over the failure Of Mon
tana officials to make similar seiz-

In interviews given to the press,
Fred A. Henningsen, vice president
Of the Henningsen Produce company,
admitted that the poultry seized in
Spokane by the federal authorities

storage in the fall of 191S.s Mr.

When asked if it was not true thar
the prices maintained for poultry
we're high and that were the chick
ems to be placed on the market at
reasonable prices, the market would
have been more active. He lodged
the issue by declaring that the pub
lie will only consume so much poul-
try anyhow. Henningsen admitted
that, despite the great quantities of
chickens held in storage in his Butte
and Spokane warehouses, poultry
was now selling on the Butte mar
ket at the prohibitive price Of 40
cents a pound.
Henningsen assertedth at the 49,
AGA pounds held in Spokane for the
Butte trade would be cleaned up
here before November Is, were it
placed on the market. He also adj
mitted that there was months sup
ply on hand in the Butte warehouse
at this time, which indicates that
some 900 pounds also are boarded

Butte is in the midst Of mining

zinc and silver are stimulating mine
activities in all of these metals.
Beyond doubt some companies we'll

years on lower grade deposits and
will eventually end up in the hands

Hulet Wells Facing Slo,u
Death in Prison While

Seattle. Sept. 6.--While President
Woodrow Wilson is addressing the

the Central Labor council Wednes-
day night the results of their find
ings in an investigation of Wells
condition. The committee had Sc
cured admittance of DR.. Joseph l..

Wells was being slowly tortured to
death. DR.. Lane was admitted and
upon reporting the findings of his
examination, said:

ceives but IA ounces of bread dur
ing a period of "a hours. I then ex-
amined Wells thoroughly, and while
I did not find any definite organic
trouble he was in a weakened con-
dition having lost five and one-halt
pounds recently. During the first
two months the work of cutting cord
wood. which had been assigned to
Mr.. Wells. was comparatively easy,
but it gradually became harder, un-
til at last he was ordered to cut a
cord OF wood each day. and mas
much as Mr.. Wells is clerical and is
naturally frail, the task was more
than he could stand. He wrote a
letter to the warden asking that he
be assigned lighter work, and after
waiting for period of four days and
receiving no reply he again wrote the
warden, stating that he woulds not
continue at task which he was in
capable of performing.
