SHELBY RUSTLES
FOR CHAMP BOUT
OFFER TO RAISE 5000, 900 GUAR
ANTEE FOR FIGHT ATTRACTS
WORLD WIDE ATTENTION
Portion of the Guarantee Money is
Raised; In the Meantime Buildings
Grow Apace and New Business
Firms Locate There.

Shelby, oil center, nared full in
to the spotlight of world news the
other day when she offered to
raise guarantee fund of $3.50, 900
! for the Forthcoming battle for the
worlds championship between
Jack Dempsey and Tom Gibbons.
The pink sporting sheets of 10000
newspapers emblazoned the bold
offer of the new center of the Mon
tana petroleum world on the day
that the tender was made to Jack
Kearns and millions of people read
it and wondered at the resources of
the town and state that could af-
ford to guarantee such a sum.
Shelby offered to guarantee Demp-
sey 100000 and Gibbons $4,000
for the bout, agreeing to put up a
forfeit of $4,000. Kearns in reply
said that If 100000 forfeit we're de-
posted and protection for the bout
guaranteed he would consider the
offer. The matter will be taken up
with the governor and the attorney
general to learn If any obstacle ex-
lists to carrying out the plan. Shelby's
offer was made through the Toole
County American Legion Boxing AS
ISOLATION.
Louis Hill of the Great Northern
is said to have offered to guarantee
$4,000, and Nose Zimmerman has
offered $4,000.
No difficulty is anticipated either
In arranging financial details or car
rying through the remainder of the
program. Ample space Is available
for the arena, and weather records
show that for IA years no rain has
fallen on that date. Parking space
for hundreds of cars may be had
within three miles of the city. The
proximity of Glacier Park, it is ex-
pected, will draw hundreds of tour
lists from the United States as well
as Canadian points.
So far as is known, this is the first
time an American Legion organiza
ton has offered to stage, under its
auspices, bout featuring the world
champion. For months the Too1e
county American Legion has been
planning to build memorial build
ing and club rooms for the local post,
and If staged, the returns from the
big fight will be devoted to that pur-
pose. Definite arrangements for the
proposed bout will probably be made
within few days, 1t is thought, thus
determining whether or not world 8
Championship boxing match will be
staged in Montana.
The Town Grows
Several new buildings are to be
erected at once, according to infor-

A number of others are awaiting |
the closing of deals for lots before |
building plans are announced. In adj
dition to operations heretofore an
nounced, another brick building is to
be erected on Main street by Law
renee Teagarden of Shelby, who has
purchased the lot owned by Turk and
Stockett for $4,000. He will build

specimens In Montana Tor the museum
of the American Indian. New York
is the preservation of the concrete
evidence of our place in our nations
history.
Hundreds are now flocking to the
aid of the museum, and among those
who are most enthusiastically inter
ested is w. Wildschut of Billings.
His work for the museum among the
Crows, Blackfeet, Bannacks, and
other tribes, has added invaluable
specimens that will be kept for all
time for students and specialists and
will furnish many links in the chain
of evidence that is being forged in
an endeavor to connect early condi-
lions with those of today. AS a rep
resentative of the Museum of the
American Indian, Heye Foundation,
Mr.. Wildschut is doing his best to in
terest others in the work that needs
the assistance of each and every one
who has Indian material or who
knows of others who possess collec-
tions that should be preserved in a
fireproof institution.
The museum is in need of larger
bclico VI CObtuLuOS, HOlS0 LIGppluSS,
ceremonial objects, and the thousand
and one things that are a part of the
tribes that occupy the Montana re-
gion and the surrounding territory.
The tribes of this particular region
we're 80 virile, and employed such dis
tinctive designs and embellishments
for their art products and clothing
that full and comprehensive series
of these and other objects should be
assembled in order that this most in
teresting phase of Indian life may
be recorded in the proper way and
that its full significance may be felt
in comparison with similar objects
from other parts of our great west
ern country.
The commendable enthusiasm of
Mr.. Wildschut is worthy of emula-
tion and collectors should feel proud
to join the ranks of those who are
making history, and whose names
will be recorded on the enduring
records as helpers in the ranks of ma
ton builders.
We know that Mr.. Wildschut will
always be glad to hear from anyone
who has either ancient or modern
Indian productions, and may we not
express the hope that many will res
pond and thus, by their example and
help, add new zeal and inspiration
to cause that should be dear to the
hearts of all.

ABOUT TAXATION.

In thoae modern times there has developed among d large section of the people some curious theories about taxation. There are people who seem to lcok upon purpose of taxation 10 be to raise an the money the traffic will bear and then to gauge appropriations by the amount of money that is on hand There is also school that looks upon taxation as a vehicle for regulating all sorts of in- dul trer. Both fundamentally wrong.
 The proper exercise of the taxing powers ln democratic governments is fairly to apporton among the people taxes to produce such revenues as are absolutely necessary to conduct an efficient and oconmieally administered government Only unusual conditions. such as war, justify the government in going about to dctremine how much money can be raioed through taxation. In ordinary times or peace legislative bodies should first determine how little money il may be necessary to take from the people and the channels of trade and then provide raising only such sEall meet the neces- Gies of the situation thus determined
 And great care should be exercised in using the powers of taxation means of regulation. It is true the Federal Government has used taxation in that way but it usually has been done only after very careful consideration and investigation It was done put private bank currency out of circulation, and it has been done few other instances. but the policy has squared with the fundamental idea behind taxation.
