PLAYING POOR POLITICS.
the Roundup Tribune.)

(From the Roundup Tribune.)
Whoever inspired the court attack
on the state tax commission was
guilty of playing the poorest kind Of
politics. The amendment creating the
commission was adopted by a very
substantial majority of all the votes
cast in Montana, and when the will of
the people is so clearly expressed at
the polls it is neither honest nor wise
to attempt to set it aside OF a tech
nicality.
The Tribune was not in favor of
the amendment, for reasons which
were set forth in these columns dur
ing the campaign. 1t believed then
and subsequent Incidents amply justi-
fled the belief-that the creation of
the commission would saddle on the
people of this state an extra and
wholly unnecessary expense. But a
majority Of Montana voters either be-
lieved otherwise or were willing to
bear the additional burden, and the
amendment was adopted.
There is now no pretense of any ir-
regularity in the voting or that the
amendment failed to receive a definite
and conclusive majority. The only

STATION AGENT SHOT BY
HOLDUP.

E. R. Collins, aged 50, station agent
at Grace, on the Milwaukee railroad,
about % miles east Of Butte, was shot
in the head Sunday evening in the
kitchen of his two-room cabin cross
the tracks from the station where he
is employed. While his injury is
serious and painful, it is not thought
any fatal result will follow, unless
complications set in.
Collins had just seen the west
bound train clear the station, and had
returned to his home. He was sit
ting in the kitchen, with the door
open and the screen door closed. It
was aoout ten minutes after ne got
back there that a man walked CD to
the screen door and knocked. COL
Inns went to the door and was greeted
with the command:
"Stick 'em up"
81 will like hell" exclaimed Collins,
slamming the inner door TO.
At that the man on the outside
fired, the bullet going through the
Greer door, hitting Collins in the
right cheek and passing backward
to just below the right ear.
The wounded man was taken to
Butte and placed in a hospital. It is
thought he will recover.

claim is that the exact letter Of the
law was not observed in the senate
when the amendment was being pre-
pared for submission to vote. The in
tent Of the trainers of the measure is
not questioned nor is the alleged r.
regularity charged with establishing
any vital defect in the referendum.
The people understood what they were
doing and quite evidently knew what
they wanted.
Having voted for the commission,
they are now entitled to enjoy what
ever benefits it is capable of confer
ring, and they should not be relieved
Of the responsibility for any injury it
may inflict. To take the matter out
of their hands on e technicality VIII
only convince them that it is being
done for an Interior purpose and lead
them to more emphatic protest in the
future.
In the mind of the average voter
there is none too much patience with
legal technicalities, anyway, and the
tearing down Of what has been set up
by majority vote will assureGly
strengthen his belief that both the en-
actment and the administration Of law
are controlled by influences and inter
ests striving to enjoy some form Of
special privilege.

COOLIDGE ASKED TO CALL
CONGRESS FOR FARMERS AID

A resolution calling upon President
Coolidge to convene congress in spe-
cial session to enact emergency legis-
lation to aid the wheat growers was
adopted in Moscow, Idaho, last Satur-
day by an assemblage of approx
mately $50 legislators, farmers and
business men. The resolution calls
President Coolidge's attention to the
falling price of wheat and declared
that the present price is far below
the actual cost of production, and
that "this loss and drain on the farm
ers' resources has brought a crisis
that means disaster to both the farm
ers and business men of the wheat
growing states unless immediate and
drastic measures are adopted"
Federal intervention is recommend
ed at one as an emergency measure.
Farmers, business and professional
men are urged to organize a national
body to stabilize the agricultural in
dustry.
AS with the conference in Spokane
several days ago, congress was urged
to establish a federal corporation cap.

But always humanity looks on and ahead. 1t turns from
the grave to the christening, from today to tomorrow. The sunset
may be beautiful but the sunrise is a promise.
The world goes on whoever dies. 1t is a part of the wonder
full plan of the Creator that no individual shall be necessary to
the progress of the world and the advance of its people. Always
ready and rising behind the subsiding wave of lives and years
and decades and ages comes another to take its place.
Death is a sorrow and a loss but living is the great duty and
contains all the great duties. The funeral wreaths fade but the
living flowers bloom in their time and fill the world with
fragrance. The days work is finished but the task remains I'M
finished.
], is the lesson of such lives as that which lay down tired to
sleep at San Francisco and failed to waken-service. The dead
have earned such empty honors as we may pay them, our regret
is but an added blossom on their graves, but the duty of man and
of nations lies ahead. To the living only may service be rendered,

and lapsed into Sabbath breaking and wantonlng." Intolerant OF
Jthers they were never tolerant of themselves.
So it would be interestng-and pitiful-f grandfather and
the elders and deacons and members of the session" could come
back long enough to remark a modern Sunday. Don't THINK that
the strange vehicles and the speed and the marvels OF the age
would distract their minds from the main considerahon-the
changed Sunday. They'd see that first and a goodly part OF them
would cry aloud as the prophets of the old time and go back to
their graves gladly from a world which, to their minds and IN
their convictions, had forgot God and had been by him forgotten.
Times change, men change. Sunday observance changes.
Grandfather was born in 1899. One hundred years brought great
changes. What would a Sunday in 1899 look like to us of 1923?

GRASS MAKING GOOD GROWTH

Denver.-Grass Is generally COM

Colorado on the lower levels, but feed
ing Is still necessary In some sections,
according to reports Of the United
States Division of Crop and Live Stock
Estimates. Moisture conditions are
generally favorable and present pros
poets indicate that rapid growth may
be expected with the advent Of warmer
weather. The condition of ranges Is
reported as "a per cent Of normal com
pared with IS last month and SO on
March /. Rain is still badly needed in
most Of the Southeast. The supply Of
hay Is practically exhausted In many
sections Of the state and prices are
high. Old grass Is also short and a
larger growth Of new grass is needed
before livestock will improve much in
condition.
Cattle show a seasonable decline In
condition, being reported as 50 com.
pared with 81 on April and 96 on the
1st of March. Some reports are re-
ceived Of cattle starving and being un-
derfed, due to scarcity Of grass and
high price Of hay. An average calf
crop is expected. but some losses are
resulting where cows are thin and
weak and short Of milk for the calyes.
A shortage Of cattle Is reported In
some sections. Marketing of cattle has
been very light during the past month.

Hot Springs, Ark.-Hot Springs,
city of many disasters, was stricken

united In Il general devastation that
left death and disaster In its wake.
How many are dead is not known.
Water in torrents, raging like mad,
split the city into three sections.
Flames followed In the path of the
flood and at nightfall water covered
all sections before summary could
be made
The flood originated In the upper
basin of the mountains north Of Hot
Springs from a veritable cloudburst,
After terrific rains for about eighteen
hours, slight flow Of water came
down through Central avenue from its
junction with Wilmington park ut the
north end Of the valley. When the
water began to make its appearance
there was little alarm, but In q few
minutes the waters began to rage
down the valley.

tains In such Il way that its principal
streets form natural stream bed for

water entering lower floors Of dwell
ings and stores in the central part Of
the city.
Automobiles began to find difficulty
in the high water and soon found
travel impossible. A few minutes
later they were being whipped about
on the waves of raging torrent, and
II was from these that the rescues had
to be made, for the persons who re-
mained in their cars too long were
unable to leave them.
The water coursing through Central
avenue was never greater than four
to nine feet in depth, and 1t was not
the depth so much as the speed with
which the water came that wrought
the most havoc.
