Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-09-03

With Industry bearing the handi-
cap Of constantly increasing federal
and state taxes, all corners of the
country are raising a cry for tax
reforms.
Generally these demands for a
I~Iuhtening of the burden bear the
expression that changing this tax
law or repeating that n will reme-
DIV the situation. In a minor way,
amendments and notifications Of
the existing statutes would prove
beneficial; but the real aid cannot
be invited to exert Its force until
national and state extravaganoes
cease.
When economy governs the hands
that sian the vouchers In the pub
lies name, then small time will be
devoted to consideration OF taxation
systems, for then they Will not be
oppressive.
Watch the expenditures and the
finances will largely take care of
themselves.

tation. Sometimes it wars on the

tation. Sometimes it wars on the
carriers of these disease germs
when they are discovered. Drugs
and medicines, no doubt, have
their place in the battle, but they
are not always directed to the pa
tient. Sometimes they are direct
ed against the disease carriers. 1t
is a fight for knowledge and more
knowledge always. Disease has
won its battles mostly because of
ignorance on the part of the vic
tim. In the light of knowledge,
the scientist hopes to defeat dis
ease.
1t is a splendid and inspiring
fight that the sons of men are put
ting up against disease. There has
not been much blowing of trum-
pets about it. The men who form
the armies of science do not ad-
v~ertise their heroic virtues. They
are shy of talking, even to the re-
porter. One would hardly know
how much ground they have won
from the enemy if the mind did not
go back a score of years or so, and
remember conditions then and
now. This is an international
army. The citizens of all nations
are enlisted in it. Much help has
come from Germany and Austria
and the older civilizations of
Europe. But the newer civiliza-
ton of Japan has done its full
share, and the United States has
not been backward in scientific
achievements IN the part of its
own citizens, while it has largely
contributed to the can to keep
the fight going on. Mr.. John D.
Rockefeller has personally contrib
uted a large part of his private
fortune to this great work. He
could not have made a better use
of his surplus wealth. Disease is
a breeder of poverty. and crime,
and war on disease is war on pow
erty. Therefore, this is a moral
campaign as well as a physical one.
1t is a campaign against ignorance,
disease and poverty.

culture as well as mining, stock-raising
as well as manufacturing, trading as
well as transportation.
1t is useless to entertain the false
hope that silence on this vital issue
will best serve the interests of the min
ing industry. 1t Is necessary only to
note the inroads which special tax
laws are making into the fiscal struc-
lures of state and local governments.
Examples may be found in the Okla
homa gross production tax, the Louisi-
n severance tax, the Texas gross re-
ceipts tax, the Alabama tonnage tax,
the Pennsylvania anthracite tax, the
Minnesota occupation tax, the Arizona
and West Virginia systems of valua-
ton, all Of which impose upon the min
ing industry taxes which are not borne
which have increased disproportion-
ately the burden of mine taxation.
Taxing authorities of other states
are studying these plans, and are re.iy
to seize the first opportunity pre- jented
to make similar changes in their tax
laws. Notwithstanding the fact that
they can do no greater service for the
common good than to permit business,
and especially the mining industry, 20
%recuperate and retrench for a few
years. Instead of this, we read in the
Nav bulletin of the National Tax as
ISOLATION that such forms of taxation
are not only Justified primarily as a
regulatory provision of public policy"
but that they are further warranted
as a purely fiscal or revenue agency,
supplemental to or as the complement
of the antiuuated and inadequate gen
eral property tax" This is the view OF
many who are willing to have the tax
burden shifted to the natural resources
industries. This Is the erroneous view
of many taxpayers engaged n other
industries who consider their taxes an
affliction, the presentation of a tax
bill an outrage, and the shifting OF
any part of the burden to a particular
class or industry a desirable accom-
plishment.
Apparent for Years
1t has been apparent for some years
that taxation would be far
from sufficient to maintain the increas-
ing rate of governmental expenditures
but instead of regulating expenditures
in proportion to the reasonable amount
of taxes available, state and local gov
ernments have extended their opera
tions and enlarged their agencies or
borrowed money which, OF course, ulti-
mately must be paid by the taxpayers
Official statistics show that between
1913 and 1919 the bonds or funded debt
of the states had risen from ~ 1900,
600 to 1925, 900, 600. almost double
that in cities with a population of 3d.

Reouisition Of church ~valuables by
the soviet government, reported IN
DISPATCHES from Russia, raises a ques-
tion as to the wealth of the various
religious institutions of the world.
.sSipce the dawn of history people
have been lavish with their gifts for
religious purposes, whether they wor-
shined idols or an unseen God" says
n bulletin from the Washington, ID. u,
headquarters Of the National Geograpn-
ic society.
The result is that in all ages treas,
ure usually in the form of gold and
sill yer and precious stones, has 1lowed
10 temples and churches. monasteries
and other religious institutions. In
any period and in most parts OF the
world, then, except during recent oec-
ades In the west, a considerable part
of the liquid wealth OF the Worid mas
been in ecclesiastical hands, Only the
treasures of temporal princes sur
passed those of the religious lnstltu-
lions, and in some instances, as IN
Tibet, the monasteries and temples held
all the country's treasure.
Old and New Religions Use Geld
"Archaeologists find that the pagan
temples of civilizations dead for thous-
ands of years were ornamented with
IN wealth of precious metals. Indian
temples of several faiths have had
their rich treasures and their orna-
ments of gold and silver for centuries
and they have made use as well of q
pIittering array of diamonds. rubies.
sapphires and other jewels. Many an
idol today, from the dim interiors of
Indian temples, looks out through eyes
of great, lustrous, precious stones,
and wears other gems that might ran
som an emperor.
christianity had TO fight for its
life for the first three hundred years
of it's existence, and its rites were car
ried on in the simplicity that secrecy
made necessary. But with Its official
recognition came the tendencies which
had marked most of the openly ac-
cepted religions which had gone before
toward the making of gifts to churches
by devout followers and powerful bar
ons. and toward the use of more eiab-
crate and costly paraphernalia in the
services. Constantine, first Christian
emperor of Rome, lavished gifts on st.
Peters church in Rome and on Sancta
Sophia in his new capital, CONSTANT
nople. He thus had a hand in enrich
ing the two most famous, and once the
two richest, churches In C~hristendom.

By Nick. w. KREIGH

FINANCING new projects and pro-
noting new schemes which involve
large public expenditures and IN
creased public indebtedness are STRAIN
ing the nations fiscal resources to the
breaking point. It is my conviction
that business in general, and the min
ing industry in particular, needs, more
than anything else, q breathing spell
ip which to regain its footing. Inc
condition of affairs which taxpayers
generally have protested against
which Is giving the mining industry
deep concern, is the orgy of spending
public funds which has seized state n
local governments. The war cbliga-
tions constitute a continuing charge
against federal revenues which must
be met. Payment Of interest and cur
tailment of principal should not be
postponed.
No taxpayer can consistently object
to making bis just contribution to the
budget required to carry on the nee
essary collective enterprise of govern
ment. But while the federal govern
ment has been e~ndeavoring to curtail
expenditures and reduce the tax bur-
den, the revenue requirements OF state
and local governments have been in
~creasing steadily until the situation
has reached a stage Of %acuteness that
is almost unbearable in many OF the
mining states. New forms of taxation
have been imposed and in the quest for
more prolific sources of revenue, local
taxing authorities have shown a
marked tendency to saddle natural re-
sources with the additional tax levies.
Protest Set Forth
The resolution adopted at the west
ern mining conference held recently at
Denver under the auspices of the
American Mining congress, protesting
against the tax-consuming agencies
which are continually seeking to add to
the burdens of taxation, was not in
tended to be used as propaganda
against any part of the necessary cost
of government which the mining indus
try should bear; but it constitutes a
most emphatic protest against unfair
treatment. 1t relates TO the imposi-
ton of special taxes on natural re-
sources with which many of the min
ing states are g%arnishing the general
property tax. The general property
tax is the meat which sustains the gov
eminent. The special taxes provide
the garnishment which is wasted. A
variety of forms of supplemental taxes
are being introduced into the systems
of state and local taxation which tend
to shift to the natural resource indus
trial public obligations which, under
present conditions, would not be in
Cured if the burden bad to be spread

During the course of a summer we
have all the eggs we want and we pre-
serve about 20 dozen for winter use.
In the fall, we kill the chickens and
freeze them for winter use.
Until lately we had to use the ma
tive flour which is very much like
American graham flour. Now a large
mill is being built and that will take
care of a large AMOUNT of the surplus
wheat which is farmed in this dis
trict.
Boats come to southern Alaska the
year round. In the winter. it is i'm
possible for them TO reach northern
or inland points because of the i'm
mense ice formations. The two steam
ship lines running between this coun-
try and the territory are the Admiral
line of the Pacific Steamship company
and the Alaska Steamship company,
plying between the western coast of
the United States and the southern
and western coasts of Alaska.
Prest's Experience
THE airplane which came through
Great Falls some time ago on it's way
TO Siberia got lost in Alaska soon after.
The pilot, Prest, was lost for three
days and nights and was found by
searching parties as he was making his
way to a town. Prest thought he had
a good landing place as he looked down
from high in the air on a grass sur
face but he lighted In a large herd of
caribou which started a stampede
which lasted for days and which in
cluded hundreds of miles. Prest was
not hurt but he was unable to con-
tinue his trip to Siberia and Europe.

People Have Lavished Gifts

countries. Not only did the churches
accumulate gold chalices, patens, cande-
labra and other small objets, but many
had large screens of gold and silver,
as well as fonts and statues. To a few
of the churches affairs of solid gold
were presented, but later church regu-
lations prescribed stone and wood as
the only permissible materials for al
tars. Precious stones also came into
use to ornament images of the saints
or as gifts to them. Thus the sacred
baby of the Church of Ara Coeh IN
Rome has been given over a space OF
many years a wealth of jewels.
The accumulation of treasure by
temples and churches and monasteries
has not been unbroken. Time and time
again these convenient stores of pre-
cious metals and precious stones have
been seized by conquerors. Pagans
have looted the shrines OF other pa
gans. Mohammedans looted Roman
churches, including st. Peters, in SAG,
and the churches OF Constantinople IN
1853. Sancta Sophia, after the break
between the western and eastern
churches, a sacked by western
Christians during the fourth crusade;
and church vessels were taken or de-
stroyed in many cases Mt the time OF
the Reformation.
Russian Churches Richest
Russian church treasures have
been among the richest in existence IN
late years. When Russ ENJOYS were
sent out by the then civilized
state in GS7 to choose a national re-
lieion, they were most impressed by
the wealth and rich beauty of the serv-
ices mt Sancta Sophia. Since that time
Russian churches have been marked by
their wealth of ornamentation. Screens,
%reliquaries and canopies of precious
metals were to be found in all of the
well-to-do churches. In some OF the
richer institutions whole walls of sane
~tuaries were of silver and some floors
were of jasper. Numerous icons were
studded with jewels and some were
almost completely covered with various
precious stones. Some OF the pals
used were practically small rugs OF
gems. s.

%ligious institutions in Russia was the

do not forget that hatred and pref

has been set forth for public con-
sumption propaganda against this
historic communion of such violent
character as to stir into action age
long ~ill-feeling and of such ugli-
ness as to blot out the face of God

place for it. The deadly opiate for
the Christian conscience is hatred.
One should fear it as fire and dead

Adding fuel to the fires of ha-

which appeals to those fundamen-

ization is thriving and commanding
unwittingly the support of some of
the most level-headed citizens.
This appeal to prejudice has a
deadly aim, and the Advocate
warns US:
Watch the man or the organ

dices. They will bring a poison
into your soul that will rob you OF
your friends and take away your
peace of mind. They will in the
end becloud the face of Jesus
Christ and turn your path into spir-
itual darkness. No man can afford
to sympathize with or encourage in

THE GOSPEL OF HATE

THE WESTERN CHRISTIAN
L Advocate is a Methodist pub
LEGATION, but it breaches power
fully against the doctrine of hate
as exemplified in racial and relig-
ious f~anaticism, which it deems an
aftergrowth of the world war. 1t
finds that even good men are the
victims of this evil spirit of the
age, and, instead of peace, for
which the world had hoped, we
have race prejudice, religious in
tolerance, group arrayed against
group, and a spirit of American
ism the very opposite of that
which animated the founders of
the nation. Hardly had the wal
ended, we are told, than the evil of
race prejudice began to ear its
head, driving a cleavage through
the social and even the political
life of the nation. Anti-Semitism
demanded a hearing, Then in bold
and truthful words it goes on to
say:
1T drove home with a prejudice
against the Jew that was frightful,
violent, without reason and with a
blindness that defied the Spirit of
Jesus Christ and suspended the ap-
plication of all His teaching. 1t
came with a narrowness; it blum
dered forward with a blindness; it
acted with the violence of igno-
rance and sought to encourage the
spirit that rules in the depths
where despair and darkness dwell.
Hatred and suspicion of the Jew
have been a bugaboo of the twi-
light after all wars for almost 1000
years. 1t came upon us during the
last three years as a thief in the
night. 1t sought to work a cleav-
age from the highest economic
realms of the nation to the lowest
and most humble unit of the COM
munity circle. But when Chris
tians hate, the innps of hell rejoice
and rise to claim a place in the lit
tie world drama of tragedy and
comedy upon which all the COM
pany of the damned are witnesses.
with this hatred of the Jew has
come a dislike and distrust of the
negro. Violence has broken out
against him in different parts of
the country that has staggered the
conscience of the best citizenship.
Indeed, mob aggression has multi
fled the constitution and desecrat-
ed the most sacred principles OF
our liberties. We have had to hide
our faces in shame at the ruthless
manner in which the negro has
been dealt with during the past
four years. That ugly, diabolic
thing, race prejudice would
scourge the spirit of Jesus Christ
and, when aroused, would spit in
his face if he should presume to
protest against its actions. II
would again press down upon His
brow the crown of thorns. II
would again cruelty Him amidst
fire and flame on a wicked cross
for there Is no restraint to human
wickedness when it is commanded
by race prejudice.
Then there is THAI growing ha'
