United States. The value of farm
property in 1919 is conservatively esti-
mated at more than s51,000,0 10000
From 1860 to 1890 this value increased
steadily, but during the decade begin
ming with 1900 the increase in the
value of farm property was greater
than the entire accumula ton of farm
property in all the preceding years of
our history.
1T is apparent to all observers of
the efforts now being made by the ma
tons of Europe to readjust their af-
fairs to a peace basis that the United
States must contiue for some time to
take leading part in reconstruction
work. On every hand there are indi-
cations that it will be impossible for
these nations to produce the food and
provide the work TO sustain their sew
eral populations without our aid.
Beyond the question of mere sus-
tenance is the still greater one of get
ting their productive and distributive
forces organized upon a basis which.
taking into consideration changed con-
ditions throughout the world, Will in
sure the revival and continuance of
their prosperity. The United States
alone of all the nations in the world
is in a position now to make an APP
preciable effort toward giving such
assurances to Europe. The United
States is the only nation from which
Europe expects such assistance to
come. Moreover, our own prosperity
and the maintenance of the industrial
and financial strength to which our
own prosperity and the maintenance
of the Industrial and financial strength
to which our country attained during
the war are inextricably bound up
with the revival of prosperity in
Europe. We moved long since past
the point where we could even consider
the possibility of economic selfsuffi
cheney.

ANOTHER DAYLIGHT
SAVING BILL

Not satisfied with the decisive de-
feat of the so-called daylight saving
law in Congress, the influences which
have been carrying on active propa-
ganda in behalf of the plan for many
years have had introduced in Con-
gress by Representative Dallinger an
other bill providing for tampering
with the clocks in an effort to save
daylight" for city people.
About the only difference between
the new bill and the law which W..
killed Is that it shortens the period
of advanced time by two months, max
ing it begin in April instead Of March
and end in September instead of Oct.
That means that it would still affect
the farmer during his busiest months,
relieving none of the burdens and
disadvantages of the plan, as it con-
Germs the agricultural producers.

A Livingston policeman shot dog
and for eight hours it remained on
the spot apparently dead. About 10
hours later the officer on duty at the
desk at the police station was attract
ed by scratching at the door, He
opened it and the dead" dog dragged
itself into police headquarters. The
officer then on duty knew nothing
concerning the shooting and attempt
ed to pet the canie. He discovered
blood on his hand and found the dog
shot through the head. 1t was partly
paralyzed. An old-timer, visiting at
the police station, swears that the
whining of the dog was plea to finish
the job. At any rate, the dog was shot
again and buried to prevent another
return.

RAILROADS BACK
MARCH |

Washington, Dec. a. President
Wilson tonight issued proclamations
returning the railroads and express
companies to private control March
Failure of congress to enact re-
merial legislation was given as the
reason for extending by two months
the time originally announced for re.
linquishing government control of the
railroad properties. In his message to
congress- last May, President Wilson
said the roads would be turned back
at the end of the calendar year
Esch-Cummins Bill
The Esch-Cummins bill designed
to meet conditions incident to the
return of the roads, now is in con-
ference, with the prospect that an
agreement on differences between the
house and the senat will be threshed
out before March l, While one pro-
vision of the bill would order the re-
turn of the roads at the end of the
calendar month in which the bill was
approved, it was considered hardly
likely that an agreement would be
reached quickly enough to put the
roads back February 1, or one month
earlier than ordered by the president.
There are indications of a lively
fight before either house adopts the
others position on anti-strike clauses
of the bill, or the question Of continu.
ing the government guarantee to the
roads until they can obtain increased
rates to meet advanced operating
cost. 1t was said tonight in congress
sional quarters that because of the
Presidents decision no attempt would
be made to rush through the neces-
sary legislation.

ASSESSORS OVER
LOOK NO BETS

| If there is any possible item which
will be overlooked by assessors of
Montana next year, it will be invisi-
BILE to the naked eye and will not show
on the balances of any ledger in Mon
tana, judging from the new forms
for assessors which have been sent
to all parts of Montana by John Edger-
ton, executive assistant to the state
for individuals contains one sheet for
the totals of all of the various kinds
of property to be assessed and eight
additional forms, known as schedules
which provide for detailed statements
of the property.
These schedules are as follows:
Net proceeds of mines; manufactur-
ing machinery, supplies. tools, imple-
ments and furniture and fixtures used
in connection; household goods, wear
ing apparel, watches, jewelry, plate,
tableware, Libraries, musical instru-
ments. ETC., farm implements and
machinery, tractors, plowing and
threshing outfits, wagons, carriages,
harness, robes, saddles, etc., goods,
wares and merchandise of all kinds
and furniture and fixtures in connec-
tion; moneys, solvent credits, bonds
Except U. Sd stock, warrants, ETC.,
capital stock and moneyed capital of
banks.
In Some Detail.
An idea of the detail into which
county assessors will probe for tax
able property in 1920 is shown in the
summary for household property,
which the property owner will be re-
quired to fill out. 1t includes the fol-
lowing items: Cook stoves or ranges,
cooking utensils, kitchen furniture,
ice boxes, washing machines, dining
tables, dining chairs, sideboard, china
cases, chinaware, plain and fancy;

railroad administration will remain
in existence with increased personnel

Swagar Sherley, former chairman Of
the house appropriations committee
and now director of finance for the
railroad administration, probably will
be the man chosen to wind up the
government business.
Busy programs face the express
companies. Consolidated into one sys.
tenn under government operation, the
four original corporations are report
ed to have asked the department of
justice if there would be any violation
of the Sherman antitrust law in their
remaining a unit.
Huge Deficit
In two years of physical posses
sion of the railroads, the government
has encountered deficit of approx
mately $646,000, 900, according to es-
Inmates submitted by Mr.. Sherley to
Senator Cummins. When the roads
were taken over January 1, 1918, con-
gress guaranteed them a rental of
$900,000,000 annually, based on the
average income of three-year peri
cd. Operating revenues in 1918 fell to
turn and this year will be about $780,
100000, under that amount. The re-
mainder of the deficit has been incur
red in expenses OF administration,
inland waterways etc.
Two appropriations have been made
by congress of s5OO.0OO,oOO and the
other of s75O,OOO,00O, much of which
has been used as revolving fund by
the railroad corporations and for the
purchase of new equipment.
Rebate
These amounts will be repaid to the
government.
After the Presidents proclamation
was announced, Director General
Hines made public message to all
officers and directors of the railroad
administration, thanking them for
their cooperation in the past and be-
speaking their best efforts in the re-
