THE ONLY PERMANENT INDUSTRY

The better feeling in Montana over the resumption oil cop
per mining and smelling is fully justified without doubt ana the
assertions that the resumption is upon a permanent basis ADDS 10
the confidence in the future. This last presumption IS, however
somewhat erroneous. AS most are aware, a NINE OF any sort Is
not a permanent going concern. Of course, for all practical pur-
poses of the present generation at least, the copper, silver, lead
and coal mines of Montana may be be considered as lnexhaust-
ible. but at the same time there is nothing to take the place OF the
ton of ore or coal mined and smelted or consumed. Every ton re-
moved from a mine reduces the value of the property just SO much
and there is no such thing as an inexhaustible mine There comes
a time in a copper or silver mine, for instance, where the cost OF
extraction exceeds the value of the ore; when even the I'M
proved methods of the most ingenious mechanical minds cannot
overcome the difficulties of ore mining at great depths and even
known ore bodies have to be abandoned. Not many mines OF
Montana, however, have approached this stage and there is no
need for any immediate worry. i
In contrast with mining as a permanent industry, that OF
farming shows up s a business where the capital assets are al
WAYS increasing in value instead of deteriorating, or at least a
properly conducted farm should give that result. Montana farms
should show an increase in value for many years yet. AT the pres
ent time, land values, based on productiveness, are cheaper IN Mon
tana than in any other state in the union. That they will rise II
value rapidly within the next few years is inevitable. There are
practically no more free homesteads of a desirable character In
the west. while it is a fact that desirable improved farms can be
bought in Montana today at less cost than one could take up a
homestead and bring it to the same standard of Improvement
With the easing of financial and industrial conditions there VIII
be a demand for the reasonably priced Montana farms that are
for sale, and with the lettering of conditions there will be less OF
these farms in the market.

OWN YOUR OWN HOME

Nearly one-half of the families of the United States are liv-
ing in their own homes and of all the homes in the U. 5, 70 per
cent are owned free of incumbrance. These are the figures COM
piled by the 1920 census.
1t has been argued that in most of the cities of the United
States it is cheaper to rent than to own your own home, but since
the era of high rentals that have prevailed in most of the eastern
cities, especially, the argument lacks force and is far from con-
vincing. On the credit side of personal ownership should be
placed a large item Of satisfaction that is never present in the
rented home. The owner of a home is also generally willing to
forego for a reasonable tEHe7 the many modern reffnements de-
manded by the renter and forced upon the landlord through re-
lentless competition. There is a certain standing in the conmun-
ity achieved by the home owner that is never realized by the oc-
cupant of a rented apartment and no matter how humble, the real
home that is all our own outshines in many ways the mansion that
produces little for the temporary dwellers beyond a growing pile
of monthly receipts for the rent.
The owner of a home has a better credit with which to ease
over hard times; has a better hold on his job and a larger interest
in government and displays a more active pride in civic and COM
munity improvements. There's no place like home-f you own it
yourself.

Careless reading and more careless statements of political
schemes are probably responsible for the general impression
which prevails that the railroads of the country were guaranteed
a minimum income of six percent upon their investment by the
government under the transportation act. AS a matter of fact,
the government is not responsible for one cent to the railroads
since the transportation act was passed in August, 1920.
What the transportation act did was to authorize the Inter
state Commerce Commission to group the railroads of the country
geographically and fix a rate for each group that would enable the
group as a whole to earn a fair return upon the aggregate of the
railroad property of that group. This return was fixed by law not
to exceed six percent. The commission is not authorized to fix a
rate that would guarantee the railroads six percent and in no place
does the law pledge the government to pay one cent to any rail
road earning less than six percent. The rates as made were based
upon the business being carried by the roads in August, 1920, and
any loss incurred by the railroads since must be borne by them.

SNOWFALL

Official weather reports indicate an abnormal depth of snow
in the mountain regions at the present time which may be re-
garded as favorable to the agricultural prospects for the coming
season. At least it indicates with fair certainty a plentiful sup
ply of water In the streams which means that the irrigated Sec
tions will be assured of water for the full season. AS a rule more
snow falls in the mountains during the latter end of winter than
in the earlier part, so it is more than likely the present heavy
SHOWS will be greatly added to before the sun begins to make
itself felt in the higher ranges.
The influence of deep SHOWS in the mountains upon the sum-
mer climate is rather difficult to determine, but many old timers
hold the view that summer rains are more freqeunt in the seasons
following a heavy fall of snow, claiming that clouds passing over
the snow fields are more easily condensed into rains that reach
long distances over the plains regions. We trust they are right
and confess that it sounds reasonable.

should make the Liberty and Victory bonds worth all that its
patriotic citizens paid in purchasing them" is seen. When that
speech was made Liberty bonds of the nine different issues were
about IL per cent less in value than they are today. The short
term bonds are now quoted at par and occasionally above par.
We are not SO foolish nor so hidebound as to ascribe the rapid
rise of the nations credit entirely to a republican administration,
but the evidence is conclusive that the present administration has
made a record for non-impairment of American credit through a
period which has Jared the financial foundation of a larger part
Of the world. If the republican party has done nothing else, this
will be an achievement worthy to place it in the front rank of
and sane progressiveness.

LET US HAVE EQUAL TAXATION

Adoption OF a constitutional amendment prohibiting further
issuance of tax-exempt securities is advocated by Secretary Mellon
before the house ways and means committee. Such an amend
ment, he said, would have the tendency Of increasing interest
rates on state and municipal bonds and would do much to check
extravaganza of state and municipalities. AT present between
ten and fifteen billion dollars escapes all forms of taxation by in
vesting in these securities. The government loses the tax rev.
enue which it should receive from these investments. Private in
dustry and private individuals must pay a double tax burden in
order that the holders of these securities escape scot-free.
Let US reduce taxes in the future by seeing that all pay an
proportion of the tax requirements.

THE REAL REASON

The unbalanced relationship between price of farm and other
primary products, on the one hand, and price of manufactured
goods and transportation service on the other, is the chief reason
for the business depression. Last years farm crops were worth
$1,000 600, 900 less than in 1919 and So, 400, 000, 900 below 1920.
The quantity produced has been about the same. With price de-
cline for other products and services not in proportion to this drop
In farm prices, farmers are forced to buy less and all industries
suffer in consequence.
Prosperity will return when the present great disparity of
compensation between the producers and the distributors ia fin
ally equalixed.

Concealed Cultivation
 Is Located Tn Russia

MOSCOW, Feb IA special commission named to locate grain fields which were cultivated this year, but upon which the cultivators had failed to make any tax returns in kind, have located over 5,000,000 acres of concealed cultivation.
 The tax upon grain is about 10 per cent of the crop. The govern ment is having great difficulty in col lecting this levy in remote sections, especially in the Ukraine, where ban, dits and peasant bands resist the government agents.
