CASCADE LEVY
| AM0NGL0WEST
in ALL STATE
But Three Counties in State
With Smaller Tax for
County Purposes.

Information received from 4S coun-
ties in the state relative to the amounts
of the various tax levies has confirmed
County Treasurer Fred G. Andretta's
belief that Cascade county has one OF
the lowest levies for strictly county
purposes in the state. Seven counties,
according to Mr.. Andretta, have leVles
ranging between 13 and IA mills, ana
Cascade county with levy of 1870
ranks fourth from the lowest, which ls
1875. Jefferson county has the lowest
levy for county purposes: The county
having the highest is Golden Valley
county. one Of the newest in the state.
The total county levy, which includes
those made for county, general school
high school and road purposes, in Cas-
cade county is 26.75 mills, which is sew
enth among the eight counties having
levies under 27 mills. The seven coun-
ties having a lower total levy than
Cascade county are Deer Lodge county
with 1925; Jefferson county with 26.5;
Meagher county with 25.5; Pondera
county with 20; Powell county with
1865; Prairie county with % and
Nheatland with 26.
Total levies of the remaining counties
are: Beaverhead, 20; Big Horn. 2S.375:

Dearborn Takes
$500, From
Cascade County

County Assessor Harold Mady
Thursday, virtually completed the
work of determining the valua-
ton Of Cascade county territory
included within the boundaries of
the proposed new county of Dear
born. Although his findings are
not ready to submit to the board
of county commissioners, he esti-
mated that the valuation would
reach approximately $3,5OO,O0O.
The proposed new county must
have a valuation Of at least $4,-
100000 before its creation is pos
sible. Its proponents claim an
Approximate valuation of $5,OOO,-
600. Figuring the Cascade coun-
ty portion as having a valuation Of
$3,5OO,O00, it is asserted that the
Lewis and Clark area will more
than carry the remaining neces-
sary valuation.
County Clerk John e. Moran
spent Thursday in Helena, where
he checked over number Of the
signatures to the new county Pc
titions from Lewis and Clark
county.

COURT SENTENCES
COMMISSIONERS To
JAIL FOR CONTEMPT
County Board Refuses to Pay
Widows Pension; Case to
Supreme Court.

Butte, Dec. 22.-Judge J. J. Lynch,
in district court Thursday adjudged
the three Silver Bow county commits
sioners guilty of contempt OF court for
their refusal to issue warrants to
Elizabeth Willoughby for financial aid
under the widows pension fund law.
The court ordered the commissioners
committed to Jail until such time as
they complied with the order but grant
ed stay of execution until such time
as the Montana supreme court could
pass upon the order. The commissicn-
ers refused to issue the warrants ON
the grounds that the countys poor and
pension fund has been exhausted and
contended that the state law provides
for financial assistance to Widows only
where there are funds available. Ihe
proceedings are Of friendly nature
and instituted merely o secure a de-
termination of the law in the higher
court.

will be made by the National Edit
oriaI association, which plans to

Eureka and F. s. Kinzie Of Troy and
Frank Pival of this city are meeting at
the court house this week as commits
sion to establish and fix the value of
city real and personal property in the

The work is similar to that done by

I0hn Frank lett q
Xmas present for y0u---

The nice part about receiving a
Xmas Gift from JOHN FRANK is
that John won't expect a thing from
you-all you need do to avail yourself
of his unconscious thoughtfulness is
to visit the assignee sale Of Mr..
Franks stock and the difference be-
tween what his merchandise cost at
wholesale and what I've marked it
is your Xmas present.
Every item of Mems and Boys
Wearables that you d expect to find
in first class store is in Franks stock
and the worst you can do is save halt
on what you buy. That's about the
way the prices run-Half or less than
half todays market value.
All the staple items of Men Fur
nishings are priced about half their
worth, while the clothing Suits,
the Overcoats, the Mackinaws and
Trousers, are offered at as low as one
third OF their value.
Shoes constituted large proper
ton of Franks stock and they're
priced just like the good old days
of 1914
Boys Overcoats and Mackinaws
are scheduled for complete and final
cleanup this week and Franks taste
in Boys Coats was splendid. He
bought fine, heavy, all wool, nicely
tailored Mackinaws for boys and he
hoped to sell EN- at Twenty-Five
Dollars and that's reasonable for a
fur collared Mackinaw, but these self
same Coats are priced Nine Eighty
Five in the assignee's sale.

can now depend upon its strictly party vote for
victory.
Nor does Congress itself yet appreciate the ex-
tent to which mere prejudice is failing as po-
itcal asset. Neither party is in any too good
repute The bare party name never meant less as
capital. More and more men who are OF a party
on general principles, are demanding results.
Leadership, courage honesty, breadth of view and
votes that have substance in reason, counting
more than mere partisanship. 1t is blind man
who cannot see that those who work and get re-
suits, who inspire confidence, who break all the po-
itcal conventions, who show independence Of
judgment and force in action, are the ones who
have public approval.
The @againsts" arc more and more in disrepute,
unless they also for something they show to
be better. War is destructive peace is supposed
to be constructive, and the American people are
not responding to any sort of merely destructive
appeal They are not busy hating any person, or
anything except what is unrighteous. Tom Reed
said Theodore Roosevelt had -rediseovered
the Ten Commandments" The people responded
tot Theodore Roosevelt. They are ready again to
respond to just such leadership. 1t is mistake to
believe this people sordid selfish and material.
They want their affairs wisely and economically
managed but their splendid response to every ap-
peal to the best that is in every human heart,
shows them above all humane, not warped in their
own ego, but broad of understanding and eager to
do that which is just plain honest right to all their
fellowmen everywhere. o., -.... e.. b..
They are big, not little; broad not narrow;
righteous not sordid and the leadership which today
will win their following is not in the ruts of par
tisanshp prejudice but in the broad open fields of
righteousness. Party control will always remain.
1t is the only possible system in any country of
such extent and population but shifting of parties,
less hide-bound party blindness is the new fac
tor with which politics has to deal AS the New
Orleans 5Times-Picayune, voice from the far
Southland, says: Mental and spiritual revauations
must come if humanity is to go forward, if human
civilization is to profit by its grim experience. And
they must be true and honest, or we shall pay
eventually for their divergence from truth"

as Secretary Lansing in 1851 and
still do so.
Gen. Lee, therefore, has even to-
day many followers of his views
on self-determination and / do not
think should be unjustly con-
demned for lighting for what he
thought was right. Since he al
ready held high once in the United
States army and had served In Il

have much chance OF gaining any
material advantage by entering the
army of the newly formed Southern
Confederacy. And when one OBJ
served how Arlington was confs-
Gated he certainly lost materially.
A few years ago a Pennsylvania
told me that he considered Gen.
Lee one of the greatest Americans
because he did SO much to appease
the defeated Southerners- He ad-
vised them to reunite with the
North and become loyal Americans
again. This prevented guerrilla war
fare which might have LASTED for
years Gen. Lee conducted war in
a civilized manner, and his personal
conduct was always that Of a Chris
tian gentleman. He represents a
type OF ante-bellum American whom
some day future Americans will be
proud of, when the passions OF the
civil war have died away. 8. c.
