COUNTY AFFAIRS IN VOTERS HANDS

The voters Of Roosevelt county have, in the candidates
listed on this page, excellent material for the offices to be
filled. Most Of these candidates have been tested and
proven by records made in office. They were elected to
office through an irresistible demand of the taxpayers for
a fair, square and economical county administration and
county well above $4,000 in office expenses to date. and
putting the business affairs of the county on the road that
leads out of the mire of debt.
If the voters do not re-elect these men it will go far
to be faithful in the interests of the people they serve. En-
dorsing and voting for these candidates casts no reflection
on their opponents. Consistency and gratitude to eff
cient officials as well as the welfare of the county is suffi-
cient reason for supporting this ticket. The majority of
the people will be governed by sober business judgement
rather than by sentiment and the broadcasting Of loud
claims and predictions.
The intelligent people of this part of the country are no
longer stampeded and voted s~heep-like in herds on the say
so of one or two steerers. They vote as individuals on
their individual judgment. The affairs of the county are
in the hands of the voters and there is no reason to doubt
their ability to fulfil the duty.

MADE $26, {, 600 A YEAR

While the farmers and other voters are considering the
proposed mine tax they should not overlook the fight that
is being made on it by the great mining companies, and
their agents. It is natural for the copper corporations to
want to keep the tax privileges and immunity they have
had for 35 years, but there is really no just reason why
others should pay disprOportionate taxes in order to re-
Iieve them.
It is curiously interesting to note the peculiar statement
put out by the great mining concerns. John D. Ryan,
chairman of the board of directors of the Anaconda Cop
per Mining Company, In a circular letter to bond buyers
and banks in 1928, when his company was offering $780,,
Q00,0 in bonds for sale, said the company had made a
net profit annually during the preceding ten years of over
S262OOO,OOO or a total in the ten years of over $3.50, 100000.
Z. +. Kelley lately has sent a postal card through the
mails to manyM Montana voters saying the company had lost
over $4,000 600 ION it's Montana properties" during the
five years ending with 1923. These statements apparent
lY conflict.
But the Lewiston Democrat-News, edited by Tom Stout,
chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, in
an editorial lately insisted that they did not conflict, be-
cause the loss was on the Montana properties" accord
ing to Mr.. Kelley's statement. The Democrat-NeWs is
against the metals mines tax, and is aiding the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, which is helping the Ana
ernOr.
The Democrat-News' explanation hardly explains the
difference between Mr.. Ryan and Mr.. Kelley. 1t says
both men are right. That cannot be so, unless the Ana
conda Company made net profits in ten years prior to
1928 OF S273,000,000 on all it's properties, which would
cover the loss on the Butte mines alleged by MI. Kelley (,
and leave the $260,000,0 900 net profits which Mr.. Ryan
said had been earned.
The Butte mines are the cOmpany's one chief productive
property. The Chile mines were not bought until 1922.
1t seems impossible that the company could have made !
100000 on its subsidiary concerns. But if it did it
ought to easily be able to pay the very moderate gross pro-
duction tax proposed.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE

The paramount issue in the present State campaign is
whether a governor who has the welfare of his people at
heart is to be the chief executive of Montana or whether
control OF the State will pass back to the copper mining
and power corporations. The verdict will be rendered on
November 4.

Candidate for Lieutenant Governor, w. S. Mccormack

posal that the farmer should pay taxes under the same
system as the big copper mining and power companies. He
brands the dual system Of taxation now operative in the

OUR SCHOOLS AND MEASURE %

DR.. Gardiner, the Copper campaigner, who spoke at the
Liberty Monday night appeared distressed that a news
should publish a cartoon such as the one on the front
page of The Herald last week showing the closed school
house and the disappointed little children in front. The
doctor admitted that some schools had been closed but
said they were in the farming sections and not in the min
districts of the state. From this it certainly seems that
the mining industry has been less Improbable than farm
ing in recent years. The speaker had already explained
that initiative measure 28, if it became a law would cost
the A. c. M. an extra half million dollars yearly in taxes,
but he neglected to inform his audience that SO per cent
Of that half million would go into the common school fund
which might help a little toward pulling the boards from
the doors of closed schools in bad years.

What Started 1t All.

II ILL TILDEN, who has writ
ten for newspapers as an
honest = to goodness news
paper man for several years, yields
a trenchant pen and in a magazine
story printed last summer took oc-
casion to hammer some of the lords
Of the tennis world. He said they
were a detriment rather than an
aid to him in his contests for the
Davis Cup.
There was considerable letter
writing back and forth as a result
Of Tilden's sharp words, friends Of
both sides engaging in a merry war
Of syllables.
Then came the blast from the
amateur committee, adopting the
rule that on and after January /,
1925, no amateur can retain his
status if he writes tennis for news
papers.
Growing out Of this rule came
the statement of harmful influ,
ence" and Bill Tilden's decision to
remain out Of the Davis Cup and
Olympic matches.
Philadelphia is behind Tilden.
So are some other sections, espe-
cially in the West. The whole mat
ter may resolve itself into a move
ment for a new set of committee
men; men more in accord with the
conditions in tennis now rather
than with those Of a generation
ago.

Giving up his job as Indianapolis
manager when he couldn't agree
with the club officials, he starred
looking for job. He tried to in
terest capital in the Columbus
American Association club, AMI
failed. He looked into the Denver
club and saw that it was not good
investment. He tried to put over
a deal for the Toleda club AMI
failed.
With the approach of the 1924
season he had nothing in prospect
and he accepted an offer from his
close friend, Fat Moran, to net as
assistant manager Of the Cincinnati
Reds. a team AL wrapped up, tagged
and shipped for he pennant.
Hendricks hardly had become
acquainted with the players over
whom he was to preside as assist.
ant manager when Moran, his
friend and benefactOr, broke down
and died.
Hendricks, after these few weeks
of hectic jumpings about, now finds
himself the manager of team that
was the choice of the majority OF
the experts to win the National
League pennant.
Very lucky, Hendricks is!' you
might say.
But is he lucky?
If you want to figure that he got
himself good job, you might say
that. In Moran's death was evil
denced again the soundness Of the
logic behind the old saw that "It is
an i'll wind that blows no one good"
Hendricks, however, is not in
baseball for a years salary. He
does not have to work. Getting
on with a major league club rep
resented to him the opportunity,
cherished in secret, to refute the
saying that he was a good minor
league manager, but he wasn't
fast enough for the big leagues.
For any credit that Hendricks
may get out Of the handling Of the
Reds the coming season, he will not
be lucky. He can't get any credit.
If the Reds win the pennant, he
will hear: "They should have won.
He took a team that was willed to
him and that could have won with.

II the Reds do not win the pen
nant, it will be said of him: Hes
no good. If he couldn't win with
that team, he couldn't win with
any,"

Clearing away all excess VERDI
age, the Tilden controversy looks
something like this:
The eligibility committee of the
United States Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation has passed a rule declar-
ing that on and after January /,
1925, no amateur tennis player
may write tennis for newspapers.
Bill Tilden and Vincent Richards
are, in the minds of the general
public, selected for the bright par
ticular victims of this rule.
Tilden has announced that he is
an amateur, both in fact and in
spirit, that his tennis writings
are a great help to the tennis
world, and that he will continue
to write tennis.
The committee, in reply, says
that Tilden will be declared in
eligible for amateur play on and
after January 1, 1925, if he adj
heres to his present plans.
Can't Be Amateur Now.
THE committee insists that
Tilden is not now an ANA
teur, though the rule barring
him from amateur competition
does not go into effect until Jan
uary l, 1925.
On top of this decision, the
Davis Cup committee, composed
of practically the same officials,
invites Tilden to represent Amer
lea in the Davis Cup and Olympic
matches.
Tilden, being no dumbbell, has
refused, demanding that his anna
tour status be settled once and
for all.
"You have been invited to
play for your country as Ameri-
can champion" wrote Myrick to
Tilden, "and, as American cham
pion, it never crossed the minds
of the committee, that you would
refuse or even hesitate to accept
when called upon. YOU ARE
ELIGIBLE TO EPRE EN- T
THIS COUNTRY IN THE CON-
TESTS MENTIONED"
The capital letters are ours,
not Myrick's, but they seem to
gum the works.
