Furthermore, we recommend that

"Whereas, we, as growers of grain
realize that the final success of our
business is conditioned upon the basic
practice of fair play and equal justice
in all economic relations and
"Whereas,. the legislative assembly
have enacted a tax law with the pur-
pose and effect of shifting the public
burden from the powerful organized
interests to the powerless, morgan
lied farmers, therefore be it,
Resolved. that we are farmer pro-
ducers of grain do protest with all
our might against this unjust law, and
we do demand its repeal at the earliest
possible moment. In place of this law
we demand a tax system under which
the public burden shall fall uniformly
on all interests. If the mines of Mon
tana are to be taxed upon their net
proceeds, we insist that the farms
must be taxed upon their net proceeds,
| but if the farmer is to be taxed on all
he possesses, we demand that the min
ing corporations must pay taxes on all
they possess. If the banks of the state
are to be taxed on their initial invest
ment alone, and the farmers on the
present value of all that he owns as
we'll as what he owes, we insist that
the banks also be taxed in the same
manner.
"And to this purpose we pledge our
hearty cooperation with everybody in
Montana who is looking for the same
end"
This organization fills a big gap
that will be of very great Importance

A SANE SYSTEM

In these days of tinkering with the social machinery, it is
refreshing to learn of one plan for the betterment OF our daily
lives that demands neither revolution nor evolution for the
attainment of its objective.
Community Service is helping America do for itself In peace
what, as War Camp Community Service, it aided a warning
America to do. Just as in war the organization enabled com
munities to- get the greatest value for the men in uniform from
their recreational resources, so now it aims to stimulate com
munities to obtain for all the people the best results from
leisure time opportunities. But, there is one great difference
between the war work and the peace work-in the great strug-
gle we were building for war and destruction; we are building
now for peace and construction. y
Community Service is getting together the finest elements
in the nations Ife-regard for our neighbors, affection for our
homes, interest in the place where we dwell-and blending them
into a force working, not for our soldiers at war, but for our
soldiers come back from war, for the men and women at home,
for everybody in each community. Mothers and fathers, Sis
tcls, swcethearts, brothers, can all unite in Community Service
With the satisfying knowledge that their endeavors are going
TO be reflected in better, sweeter, brighter local conditions.
This, we take it, will meet with the approval of every Amer
lean. During the war a new spirit of comradeship was born
in city, town and hamlet; a spirit particularly conspicuous in
those places uniting through War Camp Community Service
to extend hospitality to the men in olive drab and blue. All
who shared this spirit or came in contact with it hoped it might
not be permitted to lapse with the coming OF peace. In Com
.nunity Service this fine product of wars tumultuous days
inds its perpetuation.

thought for the inspiration of others
and express themselves as having
trouble is finding thoughts for their
words.
Thinkers rise upon us like new stars
"a few in a century. The multitude
runs after them and like Lazarus seek
the crumbs that fall from their table.
They follow them by instinct; they
adopt their theories and accept their
thoughts at sight. Many like John
Wesley, Calvin and Richard Allen
thought and rose and a multitude fol-
lowed. Heaven and earth were spok-
en- into existence by thought.
The largest portion of the world
swallows others thoughts without a
single knowledge of their digestible
qualities. The Negro has swallowed
everything put forth by their fair
brothers with no thought of its flexi-
bility. There are many of our race
that know what real thinking is, but
the majority accept today and repent
tomorrow. They do not examine the
facts they learn or digest their knowl
edge. If they did we should not have
schools of men, sects and parties,
but one grand lyceum of individual
thinkers everyone making use of his
knowledge forming his views and
working out his own kind of degree
and culture. Read more and a gen

while the dull one wears it's life out

which have a large Colored majority
vote. they have been represented in
the City Government by white Repub-
licans.
An organization known as the Citi-

with A. w. Lloyd Grand Chancellor
of Knights of Pythians of Missouri as
President and D. w. Bowles as Secre

Billy King at the Auditorium has
more than pleased his audience. His
first appearance was the cue for a
multitude of applause and screams of
laughter, and again when he made
his appearance with our old friend
Billy Higgins there were fully 10 min
utes of applause and more good solid
laughing, and so it went throughout
the entire show which ran fully two
and one-half hours. 1t being without
a doubt the best show ever witnessed
by the theater-going public, and also
there is no mistaking that the two
comedians, Messrs. King and Higgins
are a credit to the Colored race, as
they are second to none.
Among others that go to making it
enjoyable and laughable are the fol
lowing: The Misses Gertrude Saun'
ders, Theresa Brooks, Laura Hall Oh
lie Borgoyne and Ida Forsyne, the
Messrs Whitman Stevens, Rodgers
Burton, Read, and Slater come in fol
rounds of applause. Then there is

Dear Editor:
Will you please inform me where
person can find a church in Kan.
sas City where they can seek and
find the Lord, and not be begged to
death for so much money? l meet so
many people that want to find the
old time religion and they say they
can't have it because the preachers
are driving the people to movies and
theaters by wearing them out for
money and not saving souls.
