idea of how that same linoleum will look on the floor of your home.
 But when one of the modern de- signs of Armstrong's Linoleum has been chosen for a definite room Tn your house-when trained lino- leum layer has cemented that lino- leum floor in place-smooth, water tight, and unbroken by unsightly seams-when that linoleum floor has been thoroughly waxed, the furniture replaced, perhaps a fabric rug laid upon it.
 Then you do see that it is indeed beautiful floor.
 The modern ~dy tO lay EsOIe~m When a floor of linoleum Is to be laid, the better stores will. recom- mend "cementing over felt. ]" This means that a lining of builders deadening felt is first pasted to the bare wood floor. The linoleum is then pasted to this felt and extend ed beneath the moulding around the walls. When the wood floor ex- pands or contracts in changing wea- ther, the felt lining prevents this from affecting the linoleum. In winter the room IS warmer.

 Several times it has happened that my children have become thirsty when there was water to be had, but 1t would have been necessary to use public drinking cup, or there was no sort of cup at all.

Helena, Mont, Oct. 4, 1924.
The real truth is that the mining
industry pay more taxes and more
kind of taxes than n other in
dustry in the state.
1t is being urged by those in
favor of this gross production tax
measure, that only the big fell
lows" will have to pay it, and that
it does not hurt the small mine
owner. This is not true, and is
only another sample of the same
old campaign stuff going the
rounds. Even now 1 am being held
down and hampered for want Of
money to properly equip the mine
1 am nov operating in the Little
Rockies" in Phillips county, and
the reason given me by men with
money is, that they want to wait
and see whether this measure
passes. 1t if does, I can't get it.
My belief is hat this gross pro
duction tax is but a fore-runner
and the entering wedge for the
gross production principle of tax
alton and that within this decade
attempts will be made to fasten it
upon farming, stockraising and
other industries.
Yours cry truly,
CHAS WHITCOMB.

This is bad for the country, and,
therefore, bad for themselves, but IN
the absence of immediate effects it
is difficult to convince them of this.
There are some who would make
this wilful %abstention a crime, and
inflict severe penalties, but This is a
drastic measure which would not APP
peal to the people at large. 1t would
be too much like an interference with
personal liberty. 1t is suggestive of
the old saying that you may drive
a horse to the water, but you can't

The effect Of adoption by the
people in the coming election Of
the initiative measure for the inn
position of a gross value license
tax on the mining industry,
would operate as an increase of
81 per cent over the present
metalliferous mines license tax Of
nee
We believe the proposed license
tax would prove very burdensome
to the industry, and in many in
stances, practically confiscatory.
No good will come to the state
by Gripping the industry in this
manner, as in our judgment, it
will greatly limit production in
the state and decrease present
revenues by destroying subjects of
taxation.
Mines are already paying one
and one-half per cent metalli-
ferrous mines license tax, and one
per cent corporation license tax,
both based on net proceeds; also
the full tax on one hundred per
cent assessment of net proceeds
the highest assessment on any
species Oh property also the TAX
on mining claims, as well as sur
face improvements and machinery,
in addition to heavy taxes paid
to the government.
If any more inventions, or de-
vices, under the guise of license
taxes, are added to the burden
borne by the mining industry, it
will be a sorry day for Montana.

voters being driven to the poll by the
power of the law, they may be COM
PEELED to vote, but they are free to
vote for whomsoever they please.
There is no one who can control any
resentment they may harbor. They
may blame someone for undue inter.

It must also be considered that a

impelled them to stay at home.

to be the education of the people in

a laudable pride in their country's
welfare. But who is to do the edu-
eating; where are the impartial in

DYKE PROTESTS.

The future Of mining development
in Montana rests solely on what DIS
position voters of the state make Oh
the metals mine tax at the Novem-
Der election, Howard 1. Young, man
ager of mines for the American zinc,
Lead and Refining company, declared
in Great Falls Saturday night.
ut is equally as unfair TO tax the
farmer on the gross profits of his
wheat crop as it is to tax the mnies
on their gross profits" Mr.. Young
said.
Several years are required at times
to develop a mining operation to the
extent that it will yield dividends.
a y Mr.. Young, and it is in this in
stanc where the proposed amend
ment will do the greatest wrong. In
the development of a mine thousands
of dollars are sometimes written in
the "red" before any profit is re-
ceived, but this will not be considered
in the amendment, he argues.

DR.. Geo. H. Barber, Chairman.
Lewis & Clark Welfare Assn,
Helena, Montana.
Dear Mr.. Barber:
Pursuant to your request I am
forwarding to you information,
regarding the "Block p" Mine at
Hughesville in the Neihart dis
trict.
If this proposed Gross Pro-
ceeds Tax is enacted into law It
will but add a further loss to
this mining operation.
1t seems unfair to add further
handicaps in the way Of taxation
on the small miner, who is r
ing through development to place
his property on a paying basis.
l feel that the theory or prfn-
ciple of a Gross Production Tax
is a dangerous n to establish
in this state, and if applied 10
mining might extend to other
of our basic industries, farming
and stockraising.
Yours very truly,

WHY o yOTEt

In the year 1920 only about half of
the qualified voters of the United
States voted. Various reasons have
been advanced for this, none Of them
very satisfactory. But there is no
doubt that some voters take the atti
tude that there IS little to choose be-
tween the different parties and their
policies. Many are undoubtedly of
the opinion that the candidates have
been "hand picked" and therefore not
tn choice of the cleizens as a whole.

along the right path? Free lectures
might be invoked, with educative
movies as part Of the program. But
here again there might be trouble.
Who is to choose the program?
This is a matter which must right
itself in due time. Nothing can be
gained by coercion. It must be re-
membered that a large proportion Of
the citizens have not yet had time to
absorb the atmosphere Of this coun-
try, and until they do, this trouble
will remain.-Dearborn Independent.

If this tax becomes a law 1t
simply means a difference between
a profit and a loss to the Por-
phyry Dixie, and at this time when
we are arranging to increase our
production which necessarily
means a large increase in the
number of men employed and an
increased benefit to Helena and
Lewis and Clark county, it would
appear to me that the people of
this community and of Montana do
not want this state to prosper, or
It's mining industry to grow, but
rather by legislation shut out the
little fellow and allow the big fell
low to stay.

The metals mine tax measure will
discourage the development of mines,
inasmuch as it fixes a tax IN the
gross production of metals. The
small mine operator will be unable
to operate in many instances.
The easur is entirely unjust, as
1t exempts all mineral products.
There should be no more reason for
placing a tax on the gross produo-
ton of metals than upon the produce
ton of coal or other minerals, or on
the gross production of farms and
the livestock industry of the state.
1 believe hat the measure is vi
cious and will prove very discour-
aging to the mining industry in the
state.
