to see a full-fledged comic opera, with
crowded orchestra pit, elaborate scenic
effects, marvellous costumes and a
large chorus, were disappointed.
Those who came to hear tuneful
music, splendid singing and a neat,
refined musical entertainment and
who did not are whether the spoken
lines predominated over the vocal
score, and had the mental ability to
be satisfied with a plain stage, a COM
pany of five operate performers with
the piano and pianist on the stage in

draw in their imagination for the
missing scenic and lighting effects and
the usual ensemble singing, were
pleased, and they showed their pleas
ure by generous applause.
The performance was we'll attended.

MONTANA GRAIN
JUDGES RETURN

The Montana State grain Judging
team returned Sunday afternoon
from Chicago, winners of sixth place
in the grain Judging contest held
there last Thursday afternoon iE con
n~ection with the international Hay
and Grain Show. The competition in
this contest included the entire Uni
ted States, and some of the largest
agricultural colleges of the whole
country were represented.
North Carolina was the winner of
first place at Chicago, being closely
followed by Iowa, Kansas, Michigan,
Oklahoma, Montana, and Pennsylvan-
ia, in the order named.
The members of the Montana grain
team that won first at the Pacific
international at Portland last month,
and sixth place at Chicago last week
were: Winton Weydemeyer, of
Libby, William D. Hay, of Hamilton,
and Louis B. Newman, of Odell, Ne
braska. The team has been working
intensively under he coaching of
Prof. E. N. Bressman, of the Agron-
omy Department since last Septem-
Der, and their success at these two
contests is due to the hard work that
they have put in.
1t was at first considered that IT
would be impossible to send the team
to Chicago on account of the lack of
financial support, but the Montana
Chapter of Alpha Zeta, honorary ag-
ricultural fraternity, sponsored d
campaign for the raising of funds
to make the trip possible, and met
with the wholehearted support of
the faculty and alumni of the colleg;
SO that the required amount wa;
raised with little difficulty.

ing on to a finish until they 1.-THE Big
~Interests) r willing to pay fifty
fifty taxes with the farmers in this
state, and not before.
Then there is Norman B. Holter's
taxpayers bulletin; nothing but a
pack of misleading statements. In
their sponsoring budget bill No. II
and their TRADE against the COVE nor
for vetoing it, he had the very best
reasons for doing so. One was the
many petitions that came to him from
all over this state asking him to do
so. One in particular from GalIatin
county, which was signed by all our
trustees, professors and teachers from
our high and public schools in the
county. They claimed it would cost
this country from one thousand to
fifteen hundred dollars to comply with
the law every year and receive nc
benefit whatever. Now, l will guar
antee you that they know what was

all the taxes they can.
They never mention anything in
their bulletin about any good that has
b cen done in the present administra-
ton, the saving that has been going
On at Deer Lodge, the inheritance tax
which the Big Interests caused to be
bungled up so it did not effect them
any, or the tax commissioners which
the Big Interests tried their best to
knock out, or any other good thing
that has been done since Joe Dixon
has been governor of the state.
Then there is the railroad commits
s%ioners, the most expensive outfit in
the state. The farmers have been pay
ing 40 per cent of the cost to keep
them going and never receive 40 cents
worth of benefit from them. The state
could get along very nicely without
this costly group of men. Let's cut
them out next year.
Holy smoke! 1t must pay to be an
assessor in some of the counties. Three
thousands dollars taxable property one
year and $4,000 in stocks and bonds
the next year. About the best pay

run for assessor next year myself.
