Special Dispatch to The Star.
| NEW YORK, July 3O.-According to
study just completed by the re-
search department of the Bankers
Trust Company of New York, the
wealth of Germany today is about
$55 200, 100000. This figure is arrived
at by making allowance for terri
torial losses imposed by the Versailles
treaty, the fact being kept in mind
that, while some of this territory was
agricultural and not highly produc-
tive, yet the loss of Alsace-Lorraine
carried with it very large resources
of iron ore and potash and industrial
works of considerable magnitude,
while the occupation of the Saar
Basin had deprived Germany of eX-
tensive coal deposits.
The fact also was taken into con.
sideration that in losing part OF
Silesia, Germany lost many in
dustrial plants and large iron and
zinc deposits, and 42k per cent OF all
the German coal lying within SOC
yards Of the surface.

THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION

Interest this week in Washington has turned to the demo-
cratic situation. Politicians are agreed that the sudden death of
Charles F. Murphy, boss Of Tammany Hall, has completely changed
the political map. The absence of Murphy from the counsel table
of the democratic convention makes for a new deal all around,
but the Tammany influence will be as strong as ever. 1t is known
here that had Murphy lived he would have had the support of
Brennan and Taggart for his candidate, for while the question
Of religion had come up they felt sure enough of Al Smiths
ability as a vote getter to disregard the matter of church relations.
With only Brennan and Taggart remaining and the "Soid South"
in practically a state of revolt it is prOblematical whether or not
the political bosses of Illinois and India will be able to put over
Smith or any other candidate who bears their trade mark; it
may mark the end of the bosses as factors in debating the nomin-
alton of the democratic standard bearer. If Smith does not re-
ceive the nomination his friends in New York, Illinois and other
sections of the country will have anything but a kindly feeling
for the section of the country that brought about his defeat; if
on the other hand Smith does get the necessary two-thirds vote,
then the South will cut him.
Some political prophets even going as far as saying that it
will give many voters in the South the chance they have long
been looking for, namely, to quit the democratic party, more
especially those who desire the benefits of a protective tariff.
Whatever the outcome may be it is conceded by all that the
democrats are not in a very happy frame of mind and this is
augmented by reports the leaders have been getting, that many
democrats will vote for Coolidge because they believe that with
him in the White House for the next four years the country will
continue to prosper.
The President is looked upon as the candidate of the people,
not the choice of the politicians, and any talk one may hear in
Ganatin county, or in other sections of the Treasure state that
President Coolidge is going to run poorly in the west, can be put
down as the rawest kind of democratic political buncombe. The
fact that the President is known as a staunch advocate of farmer
owned industrial units for the home manufacture of finished
articles out of all the raw material that is produced, grown or
raised on the farms, such as the local tanning of hides, the home
manufacture of work shoes, wooden articles, packing house pro-
ducts, binder Irvine, articles of leather, cotton wearing apparel,
wrapping paper, condensed milk, cheese, canned vegetables, fruits,
etc. is going to offset all the political buncombe that the demo
Gratis can manufacture for western consumption.

Editorial Digest of the Week
SAVED GREAT SUMS OF MONEY
(From Montana Record-Herald)

From Montana Record-Herad)
The Butte Miner, following the example of the Helena indie
when Warden M. W. Potter resigned, attacked the latter
and Governor Dixon. Of course these two copper and power news
papers, shining lights of the mterlOcking Press of the. Great Tax
Dodgers of Montana, would do that. They could not do anything
else. 1t is bread and butter to these subsidized newspapers.
The Miner said that Mr.. Potter was "temperamentaly I'M
fitted" to be a prison warden. Funny, about temperament. The
newspapers Of the %Interlocking Press are temperamentally fit
ted to do the political work of the tax dodgers. However Warden
Potter has a record of efficiency that even equals that of the
Miner and The Independent.
For more than three years Warden Potter ran the state
prison at a saving annually of more than $15O,OOO for the people
compared with what Frank Conley, the warden so beloved of the
~lnterlOcking Press, ran it. Potter had just as many prisoners as
Conley. He had them all the time. He ran just as big a prison.
Yet he ran the prison for three years and more, and he ran it
$15O,0O0 a year cheaper than COney. His 'temperamental I'M
fitness" did not cost the people of Montana anything. 1t saved
them nearly or quite half a million dollars.
But the Helena Independent assals Governor Joseph M.
Dixon bitterly and abusively because of the fact that Potter was
warden land the Butte Miner trails behind it. The people of
Montana we assume, will not condemn Governor Dixon because his
warden conducted the state prison for three years and some
months at a saving of 100000 from what it cost them in a like
period when run by the gentleman who had the support of the
Butte Miner, the Helena Independent, the other Interlocking
Newspapers, and the big tax lodging corporations that operate
the invisible government of Montana and distribute largesse to
the Miner and Independent.

FRENCH FEATURE HISTORY FILMS

The French Government is contemplating the preparation of
motion pictures depicting the history of France. Notable events
will be produced with fidelity to detail, and the film will be a
valuable contribution to the study of the history of that country.
A movement of a somewhat similar sort appears to have been
taken up by our own movie producers. A feature film showing
some of the stirring scenes of the Revolution is now appearing
in the larger theaters, and evoking much enthusiasm among the
audiences.
The historic films are a happy contrast to the denationalizing
influences that followed the war. The revised" school history
text books that made their appearance at that time have mostly
been revised back to their original spirit or eliminated entirely
from the school courses. The aroused public opinion that called
for a return to a proper respect for our fOrefathers and what they
did should receive new inspiration from the historic films that
are making their appearance. The early story of the republic
should be kept constantly fresh by stirring pictures and text.

There is a prospect that the vote on

end of the week, although some time
was lost by consideration of other
measures brought up by previous
agreement. Flushed by their victory,
however, the democrats were prepar-
ed to push through their substitutes
for the corporation and estate taxes,
which they have endorsed in party
conference.
Retention of the democratic rates
will leave little to be worked out in

JAP EXCLUSION SURE

Chairman Johnson of the House immigration Committee
that the Hanihara note was not the chief cause of the
Japanese exclusion provision in the immigration bill. Before its
receipt by the senate the House had already passed the bill with
the exclusion feature in it. 1t was believed by House Members
that the so-caned gentemen's agreement had not accomplished
the purpose which led to its adoption, namely, he@exclusion OF
Japanese laborers. For that reason it was determined to abrogate
the agreement and make the regulation of Japanese immigration
a matter of law. The Senate committee had reported an amend
mept to the House bill, but it was promptly abandoned when the
Hanihara note was received, and the House provision was agreed
to.

ON IT'S MERITS

President Coolidge has suggested to Congress that the Muscle
Shoals controversy be settled on it's merits. The fact that MI.
Ford favors the election of Mr.. Coolidge has aroused the suspicions
of certain Senators who have lived in an atmosphere of distrust
for some months. But there is no use in wasting time in indulg-
ing in speculation as to the motives of those who have bid for the
Muscle Shoals property. The Ford proposal is in concrete form.
as are the proposals of the others who seek the property. and
War Department experts have filed their written opinions. Now
1t is up to Congress to look the situation over and register it's
verdict.

AL AND HIS IDEAL

MIR. McAdoo practically eliminated himself from the Pre-
sidential race when he revealed that he had taken huge fees from
clients whose interests were to be passed upon by his recent as
sociates in the executive departments. Now Governor Al Smith
has done likewise by holding up the late Boss Murphy as an ideal
for American youth to follow. 1t is two months to the Democratic
convention-plenty of time for some more of the aspirants after
honors to commit tactical errors that will SPELL their downfall.
Meanwhile. President Coolidge adds to his popularity with every
official act.

way and to eliminate the grades and
curves on the fiat neal the Mt. Ellis
settlement.
Have Man on the Job
In an earnest effort to keep the
road open, so as not to inconvenience
auto travellers who, even at this early
date, are making their way across
country, the county commissioners
are keeping a man on the hill ali the
time. He is supplied with a team,
scraper, drag and road tools and is
doing good work in smoothing out
the rough spots and thus Eliminating
complaints of tourists. This mar
will be kept on the hill all o. this
spring and summer. One of the
commissioners stated that the propos-
ed project between Bozeman and the
county line on the east will be the
next big Federal aid highway project
in Gallatin county and hat its COM
pletion will probably be effected next
year. The National Forest depart
ment has signified its intention to co.
operate with the commissioners IN
the building Of the road through the
forest reserve in the canyon, and this
work will no doubt also be begun next
year.
Another Farmers Project
The commissioners also report ne
completion, this week, of one of ne
cheapest, best and all-round salts &C.
tory farmers aid road projects e-er
attempted in Gallatin county. The
new road is a one-mile stretch II
highway from the present comfy
road near the mill, to VogeTs gre q.
The county supplied the road grc q
and loaded the gravel, while the ne~r-
by farmers did the actual work of lGy
ing the gravel and rolling it out. The
project was finished with but very
little expense to either the county OF
the farmers, and is the source OF
much pride, as well as satisfaction
by all concerned.
A similar project was finished two
years ago last fall on upper Sour
Dough creek, when three miles 81
fine highway was completed wit
farmers aid in a short time and tbs
|, small expense to the county Of 81 500
A total of 20 teams was used at or,
time on this project.
