FLOWERS ENJOYED
BY The TOURISTS
CHARMING YOUNG LADIES OF
BOHEMIAN HAND FLOWERS
TO TRAIN TRAVELLERS

Drowsily lying back in a dusty
Pullman or day coach, wishing for the
end Of the railway journey, and then
to be brought back to animation by
a charming young lady offering one
a beautiful bunch of fresh, sweet
scented flowers, is the experience of
many Of the passengers going
through Bozeman daily.
Loud and joyful explanations are
heard on every hand when the sweet
yoIng misses bearing baskets of the
famous Bozeman sweet peas enter
the trains.
Tired faces light up and a p%rofus-
ION Of thanks are shOwered on the
girls when the passengers realize
the gifts are for them.
The bouquets are tied and bear a
little card inscribed, "Bozeman the
sweet pea city, sends you greetings.
A pleasant journey through Montana,
the Land OF the Shining Mountains.
Courtesy Of the Bozeman WOman's
Club"
1T is a splendid idea ,graciously
carried cut, and is worth more to
Bozeman, as an advertisement of Oul
city as the ideal home town, than
tons of literature" was the state
ment Of L. E. Hathaway, manager
of tn Rczeman Chamber of Com
merce, who accompanied the girls
through the trains to learn first
hand how the flowers were received
at really was a delight to see with
how much pleasure the donors made
the distribution, and how eagerly tho
flowers were accepted, and the cards
read. Yesterday there was a great
rush Of the Pullman passengers tC
the rear platform to get a glimpse
of the city and wave a farewell tC
the charming flower girls. The WOm-
ans Club the citizens who give the
flowers, as well as the girls who car
ry them to the trains, should re-
ceive the hearty commentator of the
citizens for the carrying out of this
plan.
cit NAV seem only to small thing t
do this, but it means much to BOze'
man and it is only from little acts
graciously done that big success !:
made to grow"
Various members of the Woman
Club and groups of young ladies
meet the trains daily and will con
tinue doing so until the flower sea

GOVERNOR BAXTER
OUTLINES STAND IN
SUPPORT PRIMARY
Declares That Under the Di-
rect Primary System the
People Have Come Into
Their Own and Party Man
ipulators Are in the Discard

Governor Percival p. Baxter in a
statement issued Saturday reiterat-
ing his stand in support OF the
present direct primary system Of
voting. declared that In years gone
by Il few men with political influence
dominated the machines OF both
parties. and that now a few men
want to choose governors from the
back room In the Augusta House.
Our direct primary is under FIRE
and u determined attack Is being
made upon It," asserted Governor
Baxter.
Certain groups OF political lead
ers find their power has waned.
These men can no longer control
nominations. which In Maine usually
they now seek to restore the old or
dor OF things. In the years gone by
a few men with political influence
dominated the machines OF both
parties. Candidates too often were
selected for reasons other than their
fitness for Office. and plans were
made years In advance to retain con-
troll Of public affairs.
II recognize that there are some
opponents to the primary whose
motives are above reproach and who
honestly believe in the convention
system. The views Of such persons
are entitled to respectful consider

Sees Encouraging
Prospects for
Farmers Country

Washington, Dec. SO.-An encour-
aging picture of conditions in the
agricultural regions was reported to
Congress today in the annual sum-
mary of the War Finance Corpora
ton.
Most of the important farming
district" the report said ARE in
better shape than they have been FOR
several years. Bank deposits have
increased, bank reserves are being
restored, business has gr' thy i'm
proved, and the farmers generGAr
are making excellent progress IN
cleaning up the burden of indebted
ness under which they have been
laboring and in Strengthening their
economic position.
THE price OF range cattle" the
report said, has not followed the
trend of prices of other agricultural
commodities and conditions in the
breeding end, of the industry were
described as still unsatisfactory.
Approval of 561 applications for
agricultural and livestock loans to-
falling So. 10000 was made by the
Corporation during the year ending
November 30.
The amount, the report said. is a
Substantial reduction from the pre-
ceding year and evidence OF the gen.
eral improvement in the agricultural
situation as well as in the condition
of county banks"
OF the amount approved $3.50. 900
represented advances authorized to

to the suspension of business in May.
1920. as well as those made after
resumption of operation in january.
1921. the report added, have been
liquidated.
The last six months the report
said, have witnessed a noteworthy
improvement in the agricultural SIT
uation, which In turn, has brought
about a substantial Improvement in
the condition of many country
banks.

purpose and recognize their fine
public spirit.
Under the direct primary the
people have come into their own.
Party manipulators are In the dis
card. and any citizen now may seek
office by appealing to those whom
he would serve, rather than as for
merry. by coming under obligation
to powerful groups. The primary is
not perfect, but its faults are far
less glaring than those of the old
time convention-boss system.
NO stream can rise higher than
its source and the people are the
source of all power. once they real
ize this and take an intelligent in
terest In party affairs our problems
are we'll on toward solution. The
primary stimulates this interest and
the recent contest disclosed it. AL
though there were certain Irregular
tiles In connection with it, they were
trifing as compared with those of
some Of our old time conventions.
1T is interesting to speculate as
to what would have happened in re-
S0ht YEARS Ildu tlo PRIMARY nOL Deen
n, existence. Most observers would
admit that both Governor Milliken
and Governor-elect Brewster are it's
product and that neither would have
been nominated under the conven-
ton SYSTEM AS for myself, coming
into Office through an act CT Provi-
dence. I never was obliged to face
gubernatorial primary except as
Governor with my official record to
support me. Speaking for others
than myself. the high quality of our
chief executives certainly mas not
been lowered by reason Of the pri-
mary and the people have nominated
and elected the officials they wanted.
That Is the test Of popular govern
ment.
There Is no more reason for
delegating the power to nominate
than there Is for delegating the pow
eP to elect. In Maine nomination
and election are really synonymous.
Will anyone dare advocate giving to
delegates the power to elect gov
ernor? And yet in reality that is
what tho opponents to the primary
are seeking to do. A few men want
to pick and choose governors. from

Higher Rates for
Castine Water Co.
To Care for the
Increased Taxes

In consequence of the much high
er municipal tax assessed against the
Castine Water Company. the Pup
lie Utilities Commission handed
down a decree Saturday authorizing
and ordering the company to estab-
lish new rates for services. which
include material increases in the
charges against the municipality for
water services.
I'm the instant case, we are not
convinced that the entire additional
revenue should be levied from the
domestic customers" the commission
declares in IS decree.
For the year 1923 the company
paid a municipal tax of $427.50. and
corresponding amounts for previous
years. For the current year it is
called upon to pay $13S7, or an in
crease of $959.50 in excess of the
previous requirements. The basis of
the municipal tax is not questioned
or objected to by the company. Its
Immediate concern is the means
whereby it may rightfully obtain
such additional revenue as may be
necessary to meet the increased OPP
Grating expense.
LAS an offset to the action of the
tive but to advance it's rates. We
are not convinced that the method
proposed by the company and ap-
parently agreed to by interested par
ties is the logical solution.
I'VE shall order the establishment
Of such changes as will equally dis
tribute the additional required reve-
nue.. Under the rates we shall pre-
scribe for municip3l services the
company will receive n yearly total
of $2OO5. If the amount paid by
the company to the town for taxes
be considered, the net payment to
the town for hydrant service will be
$61S or $24.72 per hydrant.
"On the domestic use, we shall
confine the rate increase to such
services as we believe will result in
an equitable distribution of the
needed increase.
1.-The present municipal system
consists of 23 six-inch hydrants and
two two-inch hydrants subject to u
yearly charge of 500 and $50 respec-
lively for each hydrant, or a present
yearly charge of $3.50"
BY the order just issued by the
commission the following rates are
prescribed for municipal services:
For % six-inch hydrants, each $50;
each additional six-inch hydrant,
$40; each two-inch hydrant, $25. The
charge for first faucet in dwellings
and stores is ST. and for hotels and
boarding houses, $14. For the first
sill-cock or hand hose the charge is
So. The new rates will become effec-
tive January /, 1925.
