Sen. TAYLOR SAVES CLASSIFICATION BILL
Mining Corporation Railroads, Bankers and Power COmpa
MES Fight Classification Bill Which Would Put State
Financial Basis and Force Them to Pay Their Just
Share of Taxes .A
By P. ]. WALLACE

Senator Taylor has given notice Of
the introduction of a bill to repeal
the present classification law, which
has created quite a stir IN Helena.
This would restore the old classltlca-
ton law and would hav the effect OF
filling the state treasury with money
enough to pay off the debt imposed
on the state as a result of the Dixon
debaUch. The present law is based
on imagination with the result that
the County Assessors have to hire
lot of extra help each year to deter
mine the amount Of taxes to be I'M
posed on each individual. The old
system which Taylor's bill would re-
store is simple and direct and was
put in force before Montana became
acquainted with a horde of arithmet-
ical thimble riggers who experiment.
ed cn the Taxpayers dollar with dis
astrous results. The railroads and
other big interests are all in favor
/ of the present complicated system of
taxation becaAse they know their
! tax lodging experts can juggle the
state out of a lot of money. Under
the old classification law the North
! eln Pacific would be forced to pay as
much taxes propOTtionately as 1t
! does in every other state. The Ana
cOnda Company, which owns the most
valuable timber lands in the state
would have its tax bill increased. The
1 banks Of the state would be compelled
to pay their just share of taxation,
which would be about three times
what they are paying now. Indica-
tions are that Taylor's bill VIII get a
good deal of support. Some republi-
Il cans who do not want to see the
Governor make a record by getting
the state out Of debt will vote against
! it. These republicans figure that un-
, der the present law, the Governor
cannot redeem his prediction pledges
to wipe out the state deficit, and as
a result the Democratic administra-
ton will be laughed out of the
State Capitol, never to return, four
fears hence. This is, of course, the
views of the political republicans.
There are many serious and high
minded men amongst the republicans
/ in the legislature who will support
any measure that will have the eff
, feet of putting their home state back
ON its economic feet. These men will
/ support the Taylor Bill.
SOME BANKER LOBBY

DistTUst of Congress was the prin-
cipal note struck by the opponents of
Child Labor Amendment in the Mon
tana Senate at a full dress debate
last week. Senator after Senator got
up and referred to one of the cO-OT-
dinate branches Of the Government
of the United States as something he
was not prepared to entrUst with the
regulation of the conduct of children
in industry to. IF a working man eX-
pressed the same sentiments a few
years ago he would be arrested and
probably sentenced to term In the
relitentiary.

CAPITAL Of SPAIN
IS MODERN CITY
Little of Old Casti|ian Color
Found in Streets and Peo-
pile of Madrid.

bloodless revolution in Spain!
Madrid has just witnessed the pass
ing Of the military directorate of the
last two years, it's replacement by the
civilian government, and all with the
calmness and dispatch Of an Amer
lean business concern recovering from
receiverShip.
Madrid is, however, thoroughly
modern city, with very little of the
traditional flavor Of old Spain and with
nearly all the Injuries and convent
ences of other European and Ameri-
can capitals" says Il bulletin from the
Washington headquarters of the Ma
tional Geogra phic Society. with a
background of fine buildings, wide
streets, theaters. educational and sci
entific institutions, and with automo-
bile roads and railways reaching to
every part of the kingdom, it is easier
to understand why Madrid should to-
day follow a moderate course in gov
ernmental procedure.

trains from Paris to Madrid. and ex-

advantages that contribute to rapid
growth, Madrid's early days as CAPT
tai were as troublous and uncertain
as those of our own National Capital.
Excepting its central location, Madrid
was denied by nature of almost every
suitable condition for a metropolis. 1t
perches on an elevated steppe in the
midst of a vast rolling plateau. bleak
and treeless, about a half-mile above
sea level. Two hundred feet below it
winds the insignificant River Man
zanares, while the surrounding dis
tricts are uEproductive, except for
small quantities of corn.
Another element to be reckoned
with in Madrid is the climate. Sud
den changes of weather often bring
great extremes of temperature within
a short time. In Summer the heat
is almost unbearable. People keep
in the shade (bullfieht tickets cost
twice as much on the shady side of
the ring), for the suns rays hit the
skin like little red-hot needles. The
air is then so keen and subtle that,
according to popular couplet, it
will kill a man, while it will not blow
out a candle
THE city grew slowly but steadily,
stimulated by royal encouragement
and subsidy. and gradually began to
take significant part in the life
of Spain outside The realm of gov
ernmental activities. Madrid's real
prosperity and national Importance,
however dates from the construction
of Spain's railroad systems. 1t is now
the greatest railroad center in the
country, and would probably figure,
as a greater international crossroad
If the Spanish lines had the same
gauges as those of the rest of Europe.
SPANS Largest City.

Spain. Fine parks have been laid out
over barren hills. wide tree-lined
streets have pushed into the suburbs
TO take care of additional homes and
buildings. They have done a great
deal to take away the impression of
barrenness. Some say they have even
mitigated the heat of Summer.
From the Puerta del Sol, the
Broadway and Forty-second street of
Madrid, 10 streets radiate, carrying
network of surface and subway lines
to every part of the city. Less than
half a mile away is the Prado,' a
boulevard lined with fire buildings and
from five to eight rows of trees.
Along this promenade, which is one
of the show streets of the world
is the museum of the same name,
containing n collection of art which
rivals that of the Louvre.
Madrid also has one of the largest
bull rings in the world. It's Plaza
de Toros,' modelled after the Roman
colosseum, seats IA 900 people. Bull
lighting, however, has fallen from it's
high estate in Spain today, and spec

where he stood, and also that since
