which could be used as a pretext,
up went the price list.
Mr.. Ford says that there really
is no shortage of coal over the
country generally. VIZ do not
know whether this is true or not
but we do believe that there is
hardly any business in the United
States that has been conducted
with such utter disregard of the
consumer as has the mining of
coal. AS long as the public would
accept the necessary increases in
price, it didn't seem to make any
difference what happened. This
was not a concern of those who
were engaged in the production of
fuel. That has been history for
the last five or ten years.
The chances are that Mr.. Ford
is just as anxious to run his fac
tories as the men are to work.
Business is improving. Unless he
has quite a surplus of cars ready
for sale, it won't take very long
for that reserve to run out. On
the other hand, Henry is we'll aware
that his great C has been
based upon a low priced car. He
doesn't intend to raise prices and
he doesn't intend to let coal OPP
orators make him put up the price
of a Ford. So we make the guess
that coal will be soon rolling to-
ward Detroit and the hundred
thousand workmen now idle will
again be rolling the cars out the
factory door at every tick OF the
clock.

Butte Visit Pleases
Mining Party; Leave
for San Francisco

Special to The Tribune.
Butte, Sept. 1S.-With words of
praise and thanks for the hospitality
shown them during their stay in
Butte, the party of engineers of the
American institute of Mining and
M~etallurgical Engineers. left last
Sunday evening for San Francisco.
Sunday morning, the visitors were
taken through the workings of the
Leonard mine and remained under
ground for about an hour. After
reaching the surface. they were hur-
ried into cars and taken for a sight
seeing trip around of interest, the trip
took practically the remainder of the
forenoon. The visitors were particu-
larly impressed with Butte hill.
In the afternoon the party motored
to Anaconda and spent several hours
inspecting the Washoe smelter. From
there they returned to their head
quarters at the Thornton hotel. In
the evening they were rendered a
farewell dinner by the local chapter
at the Silver Bow club.
Col. A. L. Dwight, president OF the
institute was in charge of the party.
Mr. Dwight was accompanied by his
wife. The other members of the party
were Mr.. and Mrs. F. T. Sharpless
Mr.. and Mrs. George Barrow, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fl. J. Stellin, NJ. S. Spencer, Miss
NJ. s. Spencer, F. F. Zurich, Mr.. and
Mrs. r. s. Baldin. Miss Margery Bal
din and Mr.. and Mrs. Carroll Hutching
While in Butte and Anaconda the
visitors were entertained by the local
chanter of each city.

government may as well stand up
and face. 1t doesn't make a bit
of difference whether the Indians
are to blame for untoward condi-
tons that may creep into the sit
uation upon this or that reserva-
ton, the United States still has
resting upon it a supreme duty to
see to it that these people have
reasonable comfort upon their res
ervations regardless of what they
may do, their faults or their short
comings. We took all this great
country away from them. There is
every moral obligation now rest
ing upon this government to care
for them.
If an Indian had cattle and has
lost them, if he has become a citi-
zen and somebody else has come
into possession of his land, what
ever may be the situation, what
ever faults may attach to his con-
duct, however easy it may be for
a white man to get his property
away from him through a sharp
trade, all of these things do not
subtract very much from response
bility.
Of course it is a great accom-
plishment if the Indian anywhere
can be brought within a higher civ
ilization-if he can be made self
supporting and Independent and
prosperous. But we must not lose
sight of that other abiding obi
CATION: He must be fed and rea-
sonably cared for in any event.
We are afraid there is too much
shifting and changing of policy in
conducting the affairs of the In
dian. Perhaps there is too much
organization.

Harlem, Sept. 1S.-Quite an extern

e LOAD OF COAL.

THERE is one thing that the
L people of Great Falls do
which will greatly add to their
comfort after awhile. They can or
der a reasonable supply of coal.
The mines are working now and
nearly all varieties are coming into
the market. When the first snow
storm breaks, there will be a rush
for coal and the dealers will not
have reserves from which they can
supply the orders that will then
come in a bunch.
IF householders cannot buy their
whole winter supply at this time,
they can certainly put in a reason
able quantity to carry over the
conditions that will surely prevail
at the first cold snap. IF proper
attention is given to this matter,
we do not think there will be any
particular trouble or discomfort
during the coming winter on &C
count of fuel.
The advice that is here given
also applies to the smaller towns
and communities to which coal is
dia.-ibuted out of this city. There
is really more reason why required
supplies should be secured in the
smaller towns than there is in
Great Falls, because it takes more
time to reach such points.
We understand that prices are
about the same as last year. In
fact, it became evident quite a
while ago that the people of Mon
.tans would not stand for an ad-
vance in coal prices when the fuel
is produced under the same wage
schedules as prevailed last year.
Sc far as we can see, the condi-
tons are entirely favorable and
the owners of business blocks or
the householders who do not buy
some coal in the month of Sep
TENDER need not blame anybody if
their supply runs short in October
and November.
Therefore, get a load of coal
while the grass is green and while
the birds are still singing.

THE AND
THE INDIAN.

WYE take note that the govern
w ment about the first of Oc-
tober is going to sell the tribal
herd which has been maintained in
the interest of the Indians on the
Fort Belkanp reservation. Now we
do not pretend to know anything in
particular about the policy of the
government whereby this tribal
herd was established or why at this
time it is considered wise to sell
the herd of thoroughbreds. The
news reports say that six years
ago, it was thought that the Indians
might become interested in stock
raising and thereby become pros
porous. 1t is stated that the sales
out of this herd have been salts
factory in the meantime, and that
il has increased until it has a pres
ent value of $124,o00.
There is however one impression
which has been taking form within
our opinion for some time; namely
the government appears to be con-
stantly changing its ideas about
what should be done for these
northern tribes of Indians. At one
time. we hear about irrigation for
the benefit of the Indian. At an.
other time, tribal herds are pur
chased. At another time, dry land
farming is being pushed. So we
are beginning to have a suspicion
that the Indian department is sus'
ceptible 10 all of the shifting winds
of administration changes and per
sonnel at Washington. We think {
lot of money has been wasted. w
have also noticed that red tape
tangles up the operation of Indiar
supervision and care.
We hear a lot of talk about wha'
has happened upon the Blackfoo'
reservation in regard to cattle
We do not pretend 70 know th'
why's and whercfores, but we dc
understand that the fine tribal hero
which existed up there a few years
ago has been scattered and tina
the Indians now find themselves BY
one means or another without cat
tie or the value that was in thu
herd.
There were reports last winter
that many Blackfeet Indians were
cold and hungry. These report:
were disputed.
Now there is one thing that the

N FORD AND COAL.

WYE are just making a guess that
w Henry Ford will open his au-
tomobile factories and his subsid-
larry concerns before very long. 1t
is probable that there vas no de-
sire on the part of the management
to close down at all. Mr.. Ford,
we believe, was conducting a little
BUYERS strike all of his own. He
didn't propose to let brokers push
up the price of his coal when it
was going to be mined under the
same wage scales as had prevailed
heretofore. 1t became quite fash
ionable during the war for every
kind of a manufacturer to stick up
the price upon the smallest provo
cation. If anything happened at all

BACK TO WISCONSIN.

A REPORT comes from Helena
"A that Nils P. Haugen, the ex-
pert, who was brought out from
Wisconsin to guide Governor Dix
on through the mazes of his tax
program, has quit his job for the
second time and has returned to
his Wisconsin home. 1t is added
that the mind and soul of Mr..
Haugen are filled with disgust.
We are not surprised at this. We
are wondering whether the gentle
man from Wisconsin is disguised
with the work that he had to do or
with the state administration which
has been necessarily trying to man
ufacture taxes in its political ma
chine. Is Mr.. Haugen dissatisfied
with the work of the state board
of equalization or is he out of
hunor because this state board
hasn't worked at all?
1t will be recalled that Mr. Dix
on said to the republican conven-
ton the other day, and to all of
the republicans Of the state for
that matter: Let him who hath no
stomach for the fight depart" In
asmuch as Mr.. Haugen purchased
1 his ticket for Wisconsin right soon
after the delivery of the govern
or's ultimatum, it might be con-
iectured that Mr.. Dixon's tax ex-
pert may have concluded that his
stomach was not strong enough to
put up with the interminable poll
teal scrap that the governor IS
waging. 1t may have looked to him
like a waste of time to sit around
trying to arrange the current taxes
when it is impossible day after day
to get a quorum of the state board
of equalization. So The Tribune
does not pretend to have sufficient
knowledge to say whether the de-
parture of Mr.. Dixon's tax expert
was due to a state of mind or a
state of stomach" or a combina-
ton malady arising out of mental
state and gastronomic nausea
Many times we have called at
tention to the fact that the admin
~istration in Helena puts the cart
before the horse. What this state
still needs is economical manage
ment. 1t could afford to have two
experts if both of them would work
with wholesome purposes and ef-
fort-one to arrange for a cutting
down of expenses and another to
study out a lowering as well as an
equalization of taxes.
We will never get to a reason
able destination as long as the
state administration spends four
fifths of its time hunting for new
taxes.
