Brewster Replies
To Pattangall
Tax EXEMPTIONS

Oakland, Jan. Ex-senator Ralph
o. Brewster spoke here, today, before
Kennebec Pomona Grange.
On the subject: Taxation and
Tax Exemptions" he said:
William r. Pattangall, candidate
for Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor, recently made a public state
ment in regard to my address before
the West Minot Grange on the sub
ject of tax exempt property. Mr..
Pattangal quoted ut some length
and quite accurately from my ad-
dress in which I stated that one re-
ligious corporation holds exempt
from taxation practically 100000 In
real estate in the heart of the City
Of Portland, and that the total ex-
cmptions from taxation in corpora :
tons of this nature now amount to
about S10.000,000, necessitating an
additional tax Of three dollars and
one-half per thousand for each tax
payer in the City of Portland. in
present a serious problem.
-. Pattangall recited the statu
rovisions relating to the ex-
y of religious and charitable
! lies from taxation, and states
that these provisions seem to him
ample and proper as they stand" and
that the wisdom of these exemp-
tons has been generally admitted by
all thoughtful citizens
MIR. Pattangall then adds that
nave never suggested any amend
ment to these laws and that IL would
be desirable to have specific pro-
posals to consider.
The last legislature. of which I was
member, considered this matter
and felt that 1t was of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant a careful in
Vestigation. The appointment of a
special commission was authorized
ana a special appropriation made for
the specihc purpose OF investigating
the amount and the charac ter of the
properties exempt from taxation ur
DER the present statutes This com
mission has now been appointed. and
Is conducting its investigation with
offices at the state House.
The exemptions in the City OF
Portland have been rather CAREFUL,

seriousness Of the problem to the

'On the basis Of the report OF this
commission, 1t will be possible tc
frame specific proposals for amend.
ment OF the existing laws. AS / have
previously stated. believe some
further limitations must be placed
upon exemptions OF this character
MT. Pattangall is satisfied with
things as they are
The action of the last Legislature
would seem rather definitely to in
dicate that some thoughtful citizens
or the State consider that the time
mas come to consider carefully the
question OF tax exempt property and
whether any statutory changes are
wise in relation thereto"

"They know no country, own no

Such n status OF barbarism is set
UP in Williamson county. Illinois.
First. an unmasked mob tortures and
slaughters coal miners who dared to
work in defiance OF the union. They
proposed to have matters arranged
promptly at Herrin few months
ago. and arranged to suit the fancy
OF those who did the slaughtering.
or course, resort to such meth
DDS was encouraged by the fact the
slaughterers have not been seriously
interfered with. That way of doing
things Is become popular In that part
OF the world. 1t seems now to be
the method in favor there for main
tanning the prohibitory law and Ku
Eluxism and the Knighthood of the
Flaming Circle. whatever that may
be. In other words. the people Of
Williamson county have taken the
sword and there Is a wise old say
Ing about what happens to those
who take the sword unrighteously.
Probably Williamson county assumes
that IL has resorted to the sword in
the cause OF Righteousness. This
leaves the inference that. however
capable they may be in welding the
sword they are conspicuously incap-
able or unwilling to make proper use
, Of their courts and the arm OF the
law.

full retail advertising merchants in
the metropolitan cities of the United
States, and setting the pace in Boze-
man and the prosperous Gallatin
valley in the matter Of combining
timely topics of store news and edi-
~torials on economy, with it's display
advertisements offering different sets
of bargains each week, the second is
sue of "McCracken's Economy News"
appears this week in its accustomed
position in the columns of The BOze-
man Courier.
Mr.. McCracken's idea, which he is
fast adopting in all of his fifteen
chain stores in Montana, Wyoming
and other nearby states, is based on
the now generally accepted theory
that the offering of timely and neces-
sary articles of wearing apparel or
household use at prices which repre-
sent a saving in real money to his
customers, constitutes the very best
kind of news.
The initial announcement appear
ing in last weeks Courier, was word
ed as follows:
Most interesting news in this is
sue is McCracken's Economy News,
issued every week. This advertise
ment will be run every week in The
BOzeman Courier. 1t will carry the
good news for the coming week, which
will be filled with super-bargains and
the Economy News will therefore
gradually become your constant friend
and in a short time will be more popu-
lar than the Andy Gump Family "
In commenting on this novel method
of putting the stores bargains before
the people of Gallatin county, Leslie
F. Knight, advertising manager of
McCracken's store and superintendent
of the Economy Basement, said:
eve are more than pleased with the
results so far obtained from our
Economy News section in The BOze-
man Courier, the first issue of which
appeared last week, and we feel as
though we should publicly express our
appreciation of the generous manner
in which the people of the Gallatin
valley responed to the advertisement.
Our sales were very satisfactory last
Friday and Saturday, following the
appearance of the first issue, and the
people, both city and rural customers,
were not a bit reluctant in saying that
they saw our Economy News bar
gains in The Courier.

What Do You Think About 1t?

Dillon Tribune: That the asses
sors ought to raise valuations on tax
able property sufficient to make up
the deficiency in revenues for the
state government, was one of the
recommendations of the State Board
of Equalization to the state meeting
of county assessors which convened
in Helena last week, is the report of
county assessor Ross w. limerick
who attended the meeting. The state
board asserted that public utilities in
Montana are nov valued as high as
possible and yielding their share of
taxes to the state, and that the
states revenues are still inadequate
to meet operating expense. There

According to the Ringing Indepen-

is being done in the Castle mining
district in Meagher county and there
is a prospect that this famous camp
will come back" A tunnel driven
in the Queen group of claims recently
has developed a gigantic Outcrop of
hematite iron, extending in an east
and west direction through the prop
erty, with OutcrOps of copper through
out its entire length, and it is De
liveded by eminent minerolOgists who
have examined the property that
this hematitic Outcrop, which on the
surface attains a width of more thar
200 feet, is a "gossan," or Gaping
to an immense deposit of copper and
silver ore. If true, and operations
+ carried on to the encounter, il
will result in the opening of a prac-
tically new mining camp that will be
second to one in the state, with the
possible exception of Butte. Abou:
