under way in Washington very similar to that
which we quote from the Independent, which
is under the caption "In Fairness to Daugher-
ty:"
Senator B. K Wheeler of Montana is quot
ed in the papers of Saturday morning as saying
81 feel the objects of the Daugherty investga-
has been accomplished to great extent in that
the country has gotten rid of an unfaithful SER
want" 1t is further stated that there is some
sentiment in the committee for dropping the
matter now that the attorney general has re-
signed.
"This does not appeal to the Independent
as fair disposition of the case of Mr. Daugh-
erty. AS weary as the public is of Investigations
we believe Mr.. Daugherty should be given an
opportunity to be heard and to introduce wit
nesses to refute the stories which seemed to
lead corruption right up to his door, though
not having actually touched him personally.
ut would be mistake for the committee to
adjourn or consider its work at an end until Mr.
Daugherty has told his side of the various stor-
les carried through the committee. He might be
able to put quite different appearance on the
various matters and he should be given the opp
ortunity to do so without forrnality or interfer-
ence by the Senators who are conducting the
hearing. They have certainly had unheard of Ii
berties in attempting to ruin the reputation of
Daugherty and he should have the same oppor-
tunity to discredit the ex-train robbers, real
estate agents, booteggers, secret service oper-
ators and CASTOR B. Means who admitted his
chief occupation was lodging indictments"

The publicity committee of the Republican
National Committee has been the subject of at
tack from Montana Democratic newspapers
since Wheelers war record was printed and
sent out from Washington
They claim that the fair name of Montana
was slandered by this publicity organization
and howl with great vehemence in doleful key
about it.
The fact of the matter is that Wheeler's own
home city was the hot bed of sedition and trea-
son during the war, and his laxity largely con-
tributed to the activities of the disloyals. One
of them was taken out and hung and good citi-
zens of Butte, of which there are many, regret
ted afterwards that instead of hanging one
they should have made it an even dozen in ord
er to have ridden the city of the leaders of the
government haters.
By the same token and for the same reason
the entire state was more or less infested with
|. W. W. and disloyalists of every kind of type
but they never got very far in their work in
Butte where Mr.. Wheeler lived at the time and
where he was living when Montana Council of
Defense. hnd state legislature demanded his
removal.
What the Butte Miner and Helena Indepen-
dent said about Mr. Wheeler at that time would
make interesting reading down in Washing
ton at this time.

EQUAL TAXES
Joliet, Montana

From all according to their ability,
to all according to their need, seems
to be the modern idea Of fair distri-
button of support for the government
of free people. That is what the
county unit approaches in the support
of the Schools for all the children of
the County. The richer communities
contribute toward the support Of the
poorer ones in recognition of the fact
that the education of all the children
of all the people is a common task,
and not task that can be neglected
if the local community happens to be
one with little taxable wealth. County
Unit proposes that the public schools
are not local question at all. They
are even more important to the en-
tire county than are the roads and the
courts and the public charity and the
maintenance of the sheriff's office. All
these are handled on county basis
while the schools which handle about
half the taxpayers money are handled
by fifty OF, sixty sets Of three men in

For years the cry has been raised, LET us
have business men in public office" One of the
keenest business men in the world today is the
present Secretary Of the Treasury. Mr.. Mellon
has seen ex cessive surtaXes drive capital out
of productive enterprise into tax exempt bonds
and instead of securing revenue from the rich
the taxes they have escaped by the tax ex
empt bond route have been made up by the cit
liens of ordinary means, and industry which
furnishes the employment of this nation
In his tax reduction program Secretary Mel
Ion is accused of reducing taxes of rich proper
tionatey more than he reduces the tax on small
Ter incomes. The mere fact that he had the
courage to make the greatest reduction where
it was needed in order to bring capital out of
hiding in tax exempt securities and thereby Sc
cure new sources of wealth, the income from it
would help bear the cost of government, shows
that he is no politician
That the Mellon plan starts with reduction
of Is per cent on $4,000 incomes, climbs to re-
duction of 1924 per cent on $4,000 incomes
and ends with reduction of As II per cent on
million dollar incomes, is seized upon by oppon-
ents of the Treasurer's plan as conclusive proof
that it is merely in the interest of big business.
They fail to see the clear reasoning that lies be-
hind this well worked out plan, the ultimate aim
of which is to make taxable the greatest aggre-
gate amount OF wealth. CnoroDy QlVlQlng Jfo TAX
bill among the greatest number of people.
Why reduce and excessive surtax at all I'M
less the reduction is sufficient to cause capital
to enter productive business.
Mr.. Mellon has figured with mathematical
certainty that in order to get large incomes in
to productive enterprise rather than into tax
exempt securities, a reduction of least 80 or
As per cent is necessary and that in order to Sc
cure sufficient revenue greater reduction
than "a per cent is not possible on smaller in
j comes.
These figures are twisted around to confuse
the average mind into thinking that the rich
man is going to be taxed less than the poor man
and this is not the case. Excessive sur-taxes are
reduced proportionately greater amount than
the lower tax on smaller incomes but the person
with larger incomes are still paying much
greater percentage of tax than those with the
smaller incomes.
Melons plan is such a one as business man
in politics would work out The substitute that
have been proposed are largely of the old poll
teal order which seek to gain popular favor by
appealing to the greatest number of persons
from purely selfish standpoint.
Politics has so far been able to kill tax red
uction program Officials in Washington have
practically all broken prediction pledges for
tax reduction which is essential for continued
prosperity in this nation
Can the people be fooled all the time?

To The Editor:

When the people of Cascade We're
inveigled into the adoption of the u
nit system, rather than remain under
the operation of that system, large
section of the rural people of that
county decided to cast their lot with
the new county of Judith Basin. But
it only required few years to con-
vince the remaining people of Cascade
that the County Unit system was UNI
economic, undemocratic and un-Amer-
lean.
That the County Unit system cam
not and does not Danish illiteracy is
abundantly proven in every state
where the system has ever been in OPP
Grafton. In the ten states now under
the system, some of them for the past
fifty or sixty years according to the
U. S. Bureau of Education, their are
over a million children of school age
without the privilege of attending
school. The same county unit system
shows a percentage of illiteracy that
is about five times greater than the
percentage in Montana. 1t was also
the same county unit system states
wkere the selective draft brought to
light a shocking condition of litter
acy, such as nobody believed to be pos
sible anywhere in the country. In the
findings of the Russell Sage Founda-
ton, Montana was given an edtlaa-
tional rating of 76 per cent, while the
average rating for the ten county u
nit states was only 36 per cent. In the
face of facts like these, it is huge
joke to talk about improving educa-
ton in Montana by perpetuation of
the County Unit fake. Of course it is
not contended that the county unit
system is the cause of the foregoing
manifestations of gross illiteracy; but
it is contended that the system does
not and cannot overcome such mani
festations.
So far as the promoters of she unit
idea are concerned the system has two
primary purposes; to stifle the voice
Of the rural people in the administra-
ton Of their own schools, and to pre-
vent the taxation of the immense
wealth Of the cities in order to pro-
vide equal education for the children
of the rural districts. That the first
of these propositions are true is writ
ten in the terms of every county unit
law that was ever enacted. In all the
seventeen states that have adopted the
system, either in toto or in some at
tenuated form, there are less than
half dozen that even permit the elect
ion of county school trustees by vote
of the people, and even in these few
the election feature has been so cum
ningly contrived as to completely
Illustrate the expression of the popul-
ar will. Moreover, the only reason why
every county unit law specifically ex-
empts all the larger cities from its
provisions is this: 1t prevents the tax
alton of city property for the support
Of the rural schools. If all wealth in
Montana were taxed equally and uni
formly, and if all school taxes were
then apportioned among all the school
districts according to actual needs of
the children, the cities of the state
would then be found paying millions
of dollars annually for the mainten-
ance of rural education.

A movement is being started by western sug
ar beet growers to encourage the buying of
beet sugar in the territory from the Missouri
river west to the Rockies.
1t has been demonstrated time and again by
chemical analysis that there is no difference
between cane and beet sugar and that beet su-
gar will answer all the purposes of cane sugar
The farmers point out that this is a means of
preserving and increasing the beet sugar indu-
stry in a number of western states
Farm organizations in the territory where
beet sugar is produced are being appealed to
for support on behalf of the beet sugar grow
ers. The movement is sound as a business prop
osition and will encourage agricultural and in
dustrial development in the beet territory.
