of seventy-five persons whom you
discovered had been grating on the
state Of Montana to the extent of
getting coal without paying for it.
Il do no believe that even the

you warrant to assail with IMMUNITY

THE STATE
TAX COLLECTIONS have de

L clined considerably more than
a hundred million dollars in the
state of Montana as compared with
the figures of a year ago. Real
property. personal property and
every other form of property
shares in the shrinkage. 1t is not
due to more lenient estimates by
the assessors. The shrinkage is
actual. Large as it is, we doubt
if it actually represents the real
s~hrinkage in values. Very few
persons or corporations have added
anything to their wealth in the past
year. Many have lost a good deal.
We must face the fact that in the
next year Montana will have a
great deal less money 10 spend than
it has had in the past and cut Jul
pattern in expenditures according
to our cloth.
That is not going to be a pleas
ant experience. We notice an un-
usual multiplicity of candidates for
the legislature are filing notice of
their intention to seek the indorse-
mert of some party organization at
the coming primaries. Nearly all
of them in some way or another
promise if elected to keep down
taxes. There is only n way that
this can be done. and that is by
spending less money. 1t cannot be
done by hot air. When the elected
member of the legislature gets to
Helena he will find ON of the
very men now shouting loudest
about keeping down expenditures
on committees of citizens going to
Helena to lobby for increased ap-
preparations. They will be want
ing more money spent for schools,
for good roads, for new agricul-
tural experiment stations, for fish
hatcheries, for state hospitals, for
increased plant for the care of the
insane, for a hundred other things
that are good enough in them
selves, but call for extra appropri-
atoms, and would benefit some
city incidentally if the money was
spent there. 1t is going to take
nerve to resist such schemes, and
the man that does it is quite likely
to incur some criticism from his
home constituents if his home
county is to be the beneficiary Of
such extra expenditure.
Fortunately, in Cascade county
at least. the voter is going to have
ample choice in selecting the six
men who are to represent this
county in the next legislature. 1t
is a good many years since we have
seen as many high class candidates
for the legislature put forth by
each of the two major political
parties. Whether the voter be a
republican or a democrat he need
find no difficulty in making a good
selection ard if the voters choose
wisely from the lists presented at
the party primaries, Cascade
county will be represented by one
of the strongest delegations we
have ever had in the legislature.
And surely we need good men
there next January.

1t says:
"A new factor, a real unknown
quantity, will be introduced into
the poll by the returns from a spe-
cial poll of 2,ooo. 900 ballots which
the Digest has just mailed to wom-
en voters. 1t has been argued that
women are predominantly dry"
and, with equal fervor, that they
are not so. The votes from this
number of women, selected at ran
dom from the voters lists Of cities,
t WINS and country districts
throughout the nation, should give
a fair indication of the attitude of
the women. Its introduction into
the poll will help. also, to balance
the general voting list so far used
in mailing the Digest ballots. in
which men have been in the major
ity. A careful figuring of percen-
tages indicates that returns on a
poll of 100000 women will fairly
balance, as between men and WON

of 10000, 900 voters which is being
taken.
