WILLIAMS WRITES
VIEWS 0NL,EGISLA-
ton & TAXATION

Reserve farmer tells what he thinks
should be done about a number of
things. The farmers representatives
are glad to- hear from anyone, espe-
clally the farmers, on legislation.
Reserve, Montana

Producers News,
Plentywood, Montana.
Friends:
Enclosed you will find SIS to take
care of my subscription to the paper.
This would have been paid long ago
only for paying high rates of interest
to the banking concerns.
Now being that you have, Mr.. Tay-
lor, been elected to the senate by the
farmers, it is up to you to at any
rate, to try to enact laws forbidding
such usury in this state-also to stop
these loan sharks from hiring lawyers
for the plaintiffs and charging them
to the defendants as they now do
There is absolutely no sense nor JUS
tice in such action. Tt only throws
man deeper in debt and makes it more
difficult to redeem his home. You
can see how it works. You have
whole array of lawyers around Plen-
tywood, now, just laying there, wait
ing for such chance. In fact, Mr..
elected you for the sole reason that
they trusted in you, and now please
don't allow those lobbyists down there
to have any influence on you what
so-ever. We feel sure that you have
the mettle in you to stand up before
any bunch of beings and fight it out
So we hope you unaltered success.
There is another thing which we
feel that you should try to abolish:
one is this: discontinue the practice of
county officials holding office if they
are sincapable of filing such. This
things of paying one for the job and,
then hiring deputies at $125 per month
to do their work, is what is causing
our taxes to be so high. After read
ing the allowances of the commission
ers in their budgets, it makes a tax
payer fairly cuss. For instance: what
would be further from justice than
this: Suppose you would hire build
er and contractor to build house for
you at a given SUM and he found that
he couldn't do the job; now should he,
the contractor, hire his assistant and
pay for same out of the contract
price? Well these officials are clam
oring for the job. Now let them do
the job Or pay for same out of their
salary. This would be my idea of it.
One more, little one-sided affair that
should be looked after and that is this:
of course, we all like roads. But is it
fair for taxpayer to give the pub
lie highway, to pay heavy land tax
and heavy taxes on the very land the
highway is on, and then in order to
run his car over his own property, be
to pay for road license for
doing same. We say there is no JUS
tice in that sort of action, when one
considers that the farmers pay all of
the taxes anyway in the long run. 1t |

INJUNCTION HEARING
STILL ON AT POPLAP

Froid Tribune: AS we 60 to press
this Friday noon the injunction pro-
ceedings being heard at Poplar rela-
tive to the county seat question be-
tween Wolf Point and Poplar, is still
going on. Those from Froid who
were called as witnesses were excused
and returned home today, with the
exception of J. T.. Peterson ~no was
summoned to Poplar last night. itTs

the hearing that they will continue

That is what is the matter with the
economic condition of the American
farmer today, and that-this dumping
process-is what cooperative market

certainly seems that we ought to be
allowed one privilege free gratis. Of
course the car owners who live in
cities or towns, who don't pay land
tax, should be shook down some, but
in, shaking him down, you shake the
farmer also for the town guy just digs
the farmer SO much harder to get the
money to pay his way.

"Since It Is not possible for
the company in its present
status to finance this plan, the
following is proposed:
TO organize the Richmond
Trackless Trolley Company.
with capital stock Of $4,000
$4,000 of s per cent pre-
ferred stock (preferred as to
both dividends and assets)
and $4,000 of common stock.
1T is proposed to offer the
preferred stock locally to in
vestors, and the officers of the
Virginia Railway and Power
Company are authorized to use
treasury assets to borrow
$4,000 with which to sub
scribe to the common stock of
the Richmond Trackless Troll
ley Company.
The ability Of the company
to make this loan and to in
terest local investors is, of
course, predicated upon the
Council taking the initiative
tn this important matter, and
to offer such a contract as will
secure the investment and in
sure an adequate return
thereon.
1T will be noted that this
offers complete line of trans
portation from Ninth and
Grace Streets, westward
through the smooth paved
residential district where ade-
quate and reliable transporta-
ton is greatly needed. Of
course, this service will be ope-
rated as an independent line.
Since preparing the blueprint
we suggest as an alternative
for the Seventh and Franklin
loop around the City Hall.
Assuming that you can
offer a contract which the Vir-
ginia Railway and Power
Company can use as a basis
for this loan, and on which the
public is willing to invest in
the preferred stock, the buses,
we understand, can be secured
in ninety days, and the over
head construction can be done
while the buses are being
constructed, so that no long
time should elapse after the
necessary and satisfactory &C
ton by the Council before the
service can be available to the
public"

ROUTE OUTLINED
nv PETITION It'd
CITY COUNCIL
Would Organize Company
and Offer Preferred Stock
to Local Investors

Definite plans for the estab-
lishment Of the trollibus sys-
tenn in Richmond were an
nounced today by officers of
the Virginia Railway and
Power Company. The pro-
posed route for the trackless
line was outlined as follows:
Around the City Hall to
Ninth Street to Grace, west on
Grace to Shafer, west on Sha-
fer to Park Avenue, out Park
to Stuart Avenue, continuing
to Elm Street, on Elm to Ken
sington Avenue, extending on
kensington to Roseneath
Road, up ROseneath Road to
Patterson Avenue, from Pat
tcrsOn Avenue to Tilden
Street, back to Kensington
Avenue and return.
The detailed plans for the
trackless line and a request
that the city take the initiative
in the move to establish the
system are set forth in a pc
tition presented by officials of
the street car company 10 the
City Council last night, which
follows:
ITO the City Council: 1t
having been demonstrated, we
believe to the satisfaction of
the public, that the trackless
trollibus furnishes an entirely
satisfactory means of trans
portation in smooth-paved dis
tricts, as evidenced by the ope-
ration Of the bus in this city
for the period of a month, and
the comments Of approval of
all the people who rode upon
it-this company deems it
proper to make every effort in
it's power to secure for this
community this means Of ex-
tending trolley service.
AT a recent meeting of the
board Of directors it was de-
cided TO organize a Richmond
Trackless Trolley Company
and to at once set about put
ting in a line of buses to ope-
rate along the route suggested
In the blue print, which route.
OF course, is subject to such
amendment as may be deemed
best. This route will require
ten (10) BUSES to operate on a
five-minute schedule and will
necessitate the purchase of
twelve Q2) busses-two for
spares to insure continuity of
service. To accomplish this
will require an investment of
approximately $4,000.

LONDON, Oct. 16.-The first pay.
ment by any of the >allied powers
upon war loans Of approximately
$40, ,OO0. 900 advanced by the United
States, is to be made by Great Britain
today when the Treasury Depart
ment turns over $4,000. 900 to the
American Government through J. p.
Morgan & Co, at Ntw York. Amer.
ican fiscal agent of the British gov
ernment.
This is an installment upon over
due interest upon the $4,277 900 900
lent by the United States to Great
Britain in war time loans and credits.
The check is drawn against the
British governments account with
]. p. Morgan & Co. in favor Of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
While the actuaIdate was Sunday,
October Is, 1t was decided to make
the payment today instead OF Satur-
day because Saturday is a "short"
finance and market day. The British
governments credit with J. p. Nor
gan & Go. consists of gold shipments,
bonds and American dollars which
the Treasury Department has been
buying In large quantities for some
months past. The check is payable
to the United States Treasury in
American dollars. not in British
pounds sterling.
It is believed here that the begin.
ming Of interest payments by Eng
land will have a good effect upon the
British pound sterling on the ex-
change market.
Great Britain will not commence
payments upon the principal sum of
the debt until after funding arrange.
ments have been completed at Wash

Funding Commission, headed by Sir
Robert Horne, chancellor Of the ex-
chequer, and the American Debt
Commission.
An appropriation Of approximately
1925. 200. 900 for payment Of interest
on the American debt was made in
the British budget. so there Is still
a residue OF SIS 100000 available for
a second interest payment in April.
