THE TAX COMMISSION.

To the Editor of the Courier, Boze-
mar Montana:
Just to let you know that VIC do
not all have the same opinion of this
new tax commissioners as our honor
able lieutenant governor. We, or most
of us, think that Governor Dixon has
picked out the very best men that he
can get for the work. This is one Of
his Governor Dixon's) pet measures
and he surely would select the best
men that he could get for this pur-
pose-men that would give US farm
ers and small taxpayers a $3.50 deal
with the Big Interests; no more, no
less, and if they do make good Gov
ernor Dixon can get anything he asks
for from the people of the state,

PUBLIC FORUM

Editor Bozeman Courier:
1 just received a clipping from my
old friend, Judge Law, at the state
capitol at Helena, from Sundays In
dependent Qnterlocking Press) of
Tom Stout's TRADE about our COVER
nor's tax commissioners. Many
thanks, Ben.
To start with, to Hades with Tom
Stout and the I~nterloeking Press
They never, at any time or place, gave
Joe Dixon any good word or praise
for anything he ever did. The more
they rant and howl about the men he
selected for tax commissioners, so
much the better for us.
Mark my words-there will be tears
in the eyes Of Tom Stout and the Big
Interests in the next two years. These
commissioners are going to do just
what the people in the state backed
Governor Dixon for last fall-to give
the farmers and small taxpayers a
l!Equare deal with the Big Interests.
Joe Dixon is the first governor we
have ever had that had the sand to
tackle the big interests Of the STATE
in the interests of the farmers, and if
the men he appointed make good,
which ! know they will, it will be a
"walk-over" two years from now.
All the money the Southern Pacific
railroad could put up could not defeat
johnson in California. All the money
the Big Onterests could put.up could
not defeat LaFollette in Wisconsin,.
All the money the Big Interests car
scrape up here cannot defeat DiXor
in Montana.

Questions asked of 5,376 st. Louis
school children show that 40 per cent
of them never saw a sheep, that IL
per cent never saw a pig, that Ia per
cent saw a mule, and that II
per cent never saw a cow. And here
is something that will make every
farm boy and girl laugh-they are go
ing to put a COW and a pig in the ST
Louis zee with other rare and "a
times wild animals, that ST Louis
children may know what a COW and q
pig look like. Pretty soon one St
Louis child will say to another, II
saw a cow at the zoo last Sunday"
And the other will speak up and say.

PROHIBITION LAWS
UPHELD BY SENATOR

Representative w. d. Upshaw has
done a public service in his recent in
dictment of public officials whose per-
sonal conduct tends to destroy and dis
credit the prohibition law.
1t is an unwritten law in Washing
ton that public men shall not be m
barrassed by a discussion of their pri-
vate lives land such discussion as
takes place is usually based upon I'M
derground rumor. But in view of tie
recent open discussion in the United
States Senate of what constitutes
nothing less than public misconduct,
it is proper to suggest that perhaps
the time is coming when the poole of
the United States will have the right
to know just what the private behav-
Tor of the public men is.
Senator Curtis stated that a boot
logger had been discovered in the vi
cinity Of the Senate floor; that he had
APPARENTLY been invited there by q
United States Senator; that while
there he served other Senator's, anC
that these Senators had promised no
again to be guilty of such miscon.
duct.
Senator Curtis w conduct is al
open book which he might well b.
glad for the people of the United
States to read. The conduct of tn
vast majority of the Senators an'
4, Congressman is beyond criticism
Why ought this self-respecting ma
jority to suffer in reputation becaus
of the conduct of a few? 1t is on
belief that Senator Curtis should hav
stated on the floor the name of tn
Senator who invited this bootlegge
into the capitol and the names Of tn
Senators who ~patronized him. Thes
men can not be guilty of such conduC
without directly attacking the stabi
!, ity Of the United States government
and in so doing hey are guilty Of act
ual if not technical disloyalty to tn
? poole they are supposed to represent
: 1t must not be thought that becaus
nothing has been said in regard I
these things hat nothing is know
? They day is rapidly %approachin
when the man who p~atronizes IL
= boot-legger must be considered in IL
e same class with the boot-legger hin
S self, and if he is a public servant
!. should in justice be considered Xix
wise a public enemy. Only one thir
: is needed to correct these condition
and that is full, free and exact pu.
licity.
