$4,000 Acres Burned
In Forest Fires of
Montana and Idaho

Missoula, Sept. 25.-Forest fires in
district No. l, comprising Montana
and northern Idaho, burned over
S5,847 acres, equally divided between
national forests and private lands, &C.

ton crews, this record is consid red
remarkable.

Special to The Tribune.
Ekalaka, Sept. 25.-The final stunt
Of roping 4 live, wild coyote in chase
by nine riders for more than q mile
brought the Carter county fair to q
close Friday with q lot of fun. It has
become an annual roundup for the fun
Of the season with bucking and buck
aroos right off the range as wild as
they grow. Twenty five contestants
rode as many bad horses for the prizes
at the fair. One man was thrown and
tramped by a horse, but little thing
like that could not stop him, and the
show went merrily on.
There was also an agricultural dis
play and other attractions that go with
a real live fair. Some of the exhibits
of grain, forage, vegetables, fancy work
and other products Of skill and the land
were features that marked big improve
ments, according to A L. Shaw, who
had charge of the exhibits. Corn in
this country has had sufficient boost
to make it one Of the permanent things
of the Ekalaka country. Plans are al
ready started to have another fair next
Iyear.

1t might be reduced by twenty
five per cent If the administration
really desired to exercise rigid
economy, but if it won't or it can't
and that sum must be raised, it il
not of vital consequence who pays
it into the treasury first. The
program Of the administration is
to put a large share Of the bur-
den on corporations. They pro-
pose to increase their taxes by
about one-third, and reduce the tar
Of individuals by the same amount
that is, on the surface. The
corporations will charge the in
creased tax to overhead cost Of
production and individuals who
consume their product will pay il
just the same. Conceding for the
sake of argument that the govern
inent must keep on spending money
at its present rate, there is no
relief for the taxpayers in sight,
however the load is redistributed
with reference to the original con.
tributors to the treasury. All the
people pay all the taxes in the
end, with slight exceptions not
worth reciting here. The thing to
do is to make its collection as
simple and easy as possible, and
at the same time let each contrib
utor know just what he is paying
for the support Of the government.
And that is just what the Re.
publican leaders do not want to
do. They want to deceive the
public and make them believe that
they are relieved Of taxes and that
some other fellow is paying their
share. AS a corporation has no
vote, they arc willing to put the
taxes on to them, hoping that the
public will not realize that the
additional tax is quickly shifted by
the corporations just as the orig
inal corporation tax has been
shifted by them. This PROPOSE
ton of piling all the taxes on the
rich and exempting the poor from
tax burdens is great fake. It
has never been done and it can't
be done, not even in Russia, where
all wealth was confiscated out
right and the poor and once rich
are starving together.

Broadus Booster Asks
Uncle Sam 70 Help
Bring Rain to State

Broadus, Sept. 25.-A proposal that
the United States government enter
into the business Of rain making" IN
an experimental way has been submit
ted to Congressman Carl w. Riddick Of
this state BY Hugo Camplin, president
Mr.. Camplin expresses the belief
that BY means of aerial bombardment
the heavy clouds which often gather
without dropping their moisture on
parched soil can be made to release it,
and that scattered clouds could be
forced together by the same means to
form a heavy rain cloud.
Heavy rainfall during periods Of bonn
bardments in the world war, and its
cessation when the big guns were 81
fenced, are cited by Mr.. Camplin as
evidences that the same agencies could
be called upon to force precipitation in
times of peace.

NINETY PER CENT
Of HOBO FREIGHT
ARE FORMER VETS
Head of Butte Legion Makes
Report After Survey Of
Side Door Pullmans.
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Butte, SPIT. 25.-Ninety per cent Of
the men beating their way around the
country on freight trains, riding the
rods, the blind baggage and up or
top" are former service men out o1
employment and penniless.
This is the result of a personal in
vestigation of this free-riding popula-
ton made by John Troup, commander
of the local post Of the American
legion. He said that after spending
few days riding in box cars with
these men and talking to them that
he found many of them to be overseas
veterans.
"They seem to take their plight with
more or less complacency," said Mr..
Troup. '.Many Of them had ridden
many miles in the forty hommers' in
France, and a fine. easy-ridins box
car of American make is like a par
lor car to them.
"A large number of these men were
in the 01st division and some were on
their way to Seattle and Los Angeles
to attend the reunion Of their mill
tary organization. One man came to
Butte all the way from South Caro-
lima seeking employment. He found
none along the way and is still out OF
work"
These freight train loads of old SOL
diers are part of the 100000 former
service men reported out of employ
ment by the national headquarters OF
the American legion. An investiga-
ton made by the American Legion
Weekly has revealed a startling con-
dition among the former soldiers. AL
though no figures were given concern
ing the situation in Montana, it was
reported to be serious and the ranks of
the unemployed are increasing.

are repeatedly asked. Why is the
United States planning to make war

are repeatedly asked, Why is the
United States planning to make war
upon Japan?' There seems to be a
widely-extended fear that America
is planning to attack Japan in the
near future. Japanese friendly
political leaders report the same
general opinion which they meet all
over the country. I have just had
extended private conference with
two well-known Japanese nom
military leaders, the Hon. Yukio
Ozaki, former mayor Of Toxic,
M. p, and ex-cabinet member, and
the Hon. Saburo Shimada, M. P.
from the first, and several times
speaker. These men are not at
present government officials, but
both are highly influential, and are
constantly speaking in the interest
of disarmament and cordial rela-
tions with America. .....
"They say the naval activities of
the United States upon the Pa
cific are a cause of increasing
anxiety upon the part of multitudes
of Japanese. They cannot explain
why this should be done if Amer
lea does not contemplate war upon
Japan. These men both declared
that the japanese have no idea of
attacking the United States. They
dwelt upon the futility of such a
suicidal act, and deplored our naval
enlargement on the Pacific which
is forcing Japan to naval construc-
ton that is sapping her life.
These men asked why the United
States fleet is to be sent into the
Pacific. They had heard this was
to be done, and said it would neces-
sarily cause much alarm and
anxiety in Japan, and tend to
strengthen the hands Of the mill
tary party. Shimadd said: I wish
it might not be necessary to take
such a step now These men said
to me that if Japan and the United
States can arrive at an understand
ing, the perpetual peace OF the Pa
cific will be guaranteed for
generations"
