USING BRICK 5000 YEARS OLD
AS FERTILIZER

The Bible tells US of how the Egyp-
tians compelled the poor defendants of
Jacob to make bricks without straw
which was such a hard job that they
finally rebelled and became the great
nation of Israel.
Evidently the Egyptians learned a
Jews, because we find our greatest
archeologist, DR.. Clarence Stanley
Fisher, Of the University Of Pennsyl-

built by a Pharaoh of Egypt 1870 years
after the exodus, that had plenty of
straw in them.
Incidentally, u readers of the farm
will be interested to learn that these
brick of $500 years ago, contained so
much straw that the farmers in the
vicinity of DR.. Fishers digging oper-
%ations, have carted them away to dig
into the soil as fertilizer. However,
we must remember that Egypt is prac-
tically a ~rainless country, and the brick
had no such %weathering as they would
get in America.
The palace unearthed by DR.. Fisher
was that of the king called M%erneptah,
who has always been credited with be-

Mr.. Dixon and His Friends.

Governor Dixon has the habit of
putting his political friends on the de-
fensive. When he jumped to the bull
moose party, he took his warmer
friends with him and left the rest to
defend him against the then-enraged
members of the republican party,
which had elected him to many offices.
Now, by calling a special session of
the legislature he has again turned his
friends to apologies. Many of them
efuse to admit that he has done wrong
and are vigorous in defense of his ac-
ton. The rest are admitting unwill-
ingly that he seems to have shown
poor political judgment, and that it
appears that he has set a trap and
walked into it. There is a general ex-
preston of regret that Governor Dix
on's latest message to the legislature
did not include the suggestion of leg
i~slation leading to retrenchment and
economy, while it is generally believed
that he cannot put through the extra
ordinary session the legislation of
on which he has evidently set his heart.

The Oil Tax.

On general principles the Tribune
has often pointed out that a gross pro-
duction tax is a dangerous way to pro-
duce revenue, because it is levied with
out regard to the ability to pay
arising out of the real or net profits.
Such a tax is always an economic him
derance to industry, and therefore
should be handled consrevatively, if at
all, in a new state and in the case of
any new industrial enterprise. These
were some of the things that the legis-
lature had in mind when it decided up
on a n per cent tax near to the close
of hte regular session. There was due
investigation. There was plenty of
conference. The conclusion was de-
liberate. Everybody was satisfied, so
far as we know, except the governor.
So we are not surprised to find legis-
lators who are quite friendly to Mr..
Dixon classifying his kick about this
oil tax as an assumption not warrant
ed by the needs of revenue or any
other objective of importance.-Great
Falls Tribune,

Doctor and Patient.

Tampering with the prohibition law
has brought maledictions upon the
members of the Montana Legislature
which has been in session this winter.
By an "act" a physician may now write
prescriptions at two and a half or three
dollars a write, and his "patient may
buy a quantity of liquor in a bottle.
To be sure, the amount of liquor one
may purchase during a given period
Of time is regulated by the act, and
the number of these prescriptions"
which a physician may write for any
n person is supposed to be regulated.
Regulated! Did any one ever know
of a liquor dealer who was willing to
be regulated? That is one reason the
people of these United States demand
ed and voted for absolute prohibition
simply because the traffic refused to
be regulated in behalf of either pure
liquors or in the interest Of humanity.
