CHURCH TO INVESTIGATE

When one comes to think about it, there does
not appear to be any good reason why the churches
should not be interested in spiritual healing, at
least to the extent of investigating it.
On the face of the matter, there is nothing
antagOnistical between most religious beliefs and
the healing Of diseases to which humanity is sub
ject by prayer and faith.
Under the circumstances, it seems a little sur
prising that such a stir should have arisen in
England last week as a result of the action of
the Archbishop of Canterbury appointing the
Bishop of Southwark to preside over a permanent
committee made up of six leading doctors and
six c~lergymen to advise the Church of England
on all matters relating to spiritual healing and
questions connected with that subject.
It is said that this is the first really big step
by that influential religious body in the direction
of recognizing spiritual healing and placing it
upon a scientific basis.
Even the medical profession of late has become
more tolerant of faith healing than it originally
was.
There undoubtedly are persons who imagine
themselves sick when they are not so actually,
and there can be no question that such individuals
could receive great benefit from mental healing.
Every doctor will tell you that he would much
rather treat a patient who insists he is going to
get well than one who, as soon as he becomes
sick, declares his case is hopeless and that he is
going to die.
There is common belief that the patient who
fights disease with a determination to get the
better of it usually RECEIVERS his health.
The English church appears to feel that much
good can result from spiritual healing, provided
it is not carried so far as to induce persons no.
to call in a doctor or surgeon when the services
of a member of those professions are really need
ed.
In other words, if a man has a broken leg
according to this view, he needs medical attention
and should not be influenced to rely solely upol
mental healing.
To the ordinary layman that appears like goo,
common sense-Butte Miner.

THAT TEN-CENT MILEAGE

Not long ago the leading Democratic news
papers Of Montana waxed wildly enthusiastic over
the action Of the state board of examiners in
pairing the mileage rate for state employees down
to the definite figure Of 10 cents.
This action, which resulted in a great deal Of
inconvenience and also actual interference with
the business of various state departments, was
held up as a wonderful move for economy brought
about, indirectly perhaps, by our Democratic gov
ernOr, J. E Erickson.
It is interesting to note, however, that appar-
emily Mr.. Erickson did not conceive that the
"1O-cent-a-mie" order applied to him. A few
days after the state board of examiners had an
nOunced its ruling, The Courier is informed, he
had occasion to journey to Augusta, in the north
ern part of Lewis and Clark county, to address
a meeting of farmers. The train service to that
point being somewhat incOnvenient, Mr.. Erickson
promptly ordered one of the Capital city's leading
taxi services to furnish him a conveyance. 1t was
done, our economical governor made the trip in
comfort and with dispatch, and the bill, said to be
nearly $50, was presented to the state.
1t is 80 miles, or thereabouts, from Helena to
Augusta. According to the "1O-cent-a-mile'
ukase, something like SIG was all that Mr.. Erick-
son should have spent for transportation.
No doubt the case was urgent. The farmers
of northern Lewis and Clark county would have
been nightly disappointed had not their chief
executive appeared promptly on schedule time to
tell them what dizzy progress he is making in
wiping out the states debt. But it strikes us
that economy, like charity, should begin at home.
Anyhow, the taxpayers have probably paid the
bill-Or will pay it.

CLEAN JOURNALISM

American journalism shows a constantly in
creasing tendency to cast off sensationalism and
mOrbidness in favor of higher ideals and clean
morals.
William McAndrews, superintendent of schools
in Chicago, in discussing the question "Can NOR
atty be taught directly?" declares that when
we see the opposite of morality directly presented
by nasty dramas, s~alacious literature, disorderly
moving pictures, and daily details of crime and
lawlessness, = = = there to every man and
woman in this education business the dreadful
realization that vice is teachable."
If the worlds moral progress is to keep pace
with its advancement along material lines, a de-
cided and worldwide change of front must be
obtained through journalistic effort.

IN SIMPLE JUSTICE

The bill to be presented to congress by John
Inman, commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic, or some similar measure,
to raise the pensions of the old soldiers, should
be passed by the next congress as a simple matter
of justice. After the Civil WA the cost of living
much lower, and money was much tighter
than now, and so Civil War pensions were placed
on a level far below the level upon which the
pensions Of the World War rest. Most of the
Civil War veterans and their wives are dead.
However, the few who remain are compelled to
battle with life with pensions far too small to
support them even in ordinary comfort.
The old soldiers are still the heroes that saved
the Union, and no greater service have any SOL
diers performed for their country. Certainly
their few remaining days should be made easier
by increasing pensions. The program of General
Inman seems modest enough. He wants all old
soldiers to be paid S72 a month, and widows of
such soldiers married prior to 1910 paid $50 a
month.
Besides the straight-out pension of S72 a
month for all soldiers who enlisted prior to April
9, 1865, and served 80 days, the mman bill would
give 500 a month to soldiers who lost a leg or
arm and SIPS a month. to those totally disabled
or requiring an attendant. The gross discrim-
nation embodied in the small pension now be.
ing drawn by aged men and women, soldiers of
the Civil War and their widows, and the almost
helpless condition Of most of these pensioners
should appeal to congress as an injustice and be
remedied.-Montana Record-Herald.

WHO ARE THE

EditOrially, the Helena Independent recently
referred to what it termed ga mutual admiration
society of five members that has Sprung up
among the weeklies composing the 'die-hards' of
the late Dixon administration"
These "die-hards" are, the Independent says,
the Cut Bank Pioneer Press, the Chinook Opinion,
the HarlOwtOn Times, the Sweetgrass News, "and
occasionally the BOzeman Courier"
That the roster is incomplete is quite evident.
Many other Montana weeklies are manifesting
some anxiety over the states financial condition,
and wondering just when the much-tOuted econ
Omy program, that is to wipe out the debt in
four years" is actually to begin. Whenever a
newspaper presumes to say anything about this,
however, the Independent AYERS it is knocking"

The Courier is not a "die-hard" so far as harp
ing about the late Dixon administration is con-
cerned. 1t lets the Independent do that. And the
Independent does it Onsistently-an continuous

present Democratic administration is doing to

surprised because there is so little to report.

WASHINGTON, D. c. There
arrived in Washington the other day
a group of individuals who seek to
secure for the Filipinos their indie
pendence:. This body of men, known
as the Special independence commits
sion, are frank in stating that their
purpose here is to try and persuade
congress to grant their independence.
They will no doubt issue propaganda
and circulate it throughout the United
States. There is a grave doubt in
the minds Of many legal experts as
to the right Of congress to grant in
dependence to the Philippines. In the
opinion of many the only way that
the Philippines ear be separated from
the United States is by the adoption
Of a constitutional amendment, be-

document did not in,eld that congress
should have such powers. In fact, in
1913, the time of the Virginia Con
stitutiOnal convention, such an amend
ment failed of adoption.
Whether or not the FilipinOs have
arrived at a point where they a
properly govern themselves is ques-
toned by many. In addition to that
there remains the legal paase of the
question.

ment will be inaugurated at the open
ing of congress to pass some meas
ure that will place the administration
of many Of the commissions and indie
pendent bureaus in existence under
the control of cabinet officers, sub
ject, Of course, to- the supervision Of
the president.
It is known that President Coolidge
favored a system along the lines Of
the SmOOt reorganization bill in the
last congress and that he would not
be adverse to having it passed Of
course, Mr.. Coolidge believes that
some Of these commissions and bu-
Teaus should be abolished on account
Of the overlapping. If the bureaus
are not abolished by congress there is
but little doubt that the same person
mel will be retained. If, however,
some are abolished, those remaining
will have their same officers. It is
the presidents aim that somebody be

strictly accountable to the people Of
the country.

WASHINGTON, D. Core than
80 per cent of the automobiles in the
world are manufactured in the United
States. This statement is vouched
for by the Automotive division Of the
department of commerce. Cars and
trucks built in American factories
during the year 1924 total three mil
lion six hundred and eight, while the
estimated production of Great Bri-
tain, France, Italy and Germany was
only three hundred and thirty thou
sand. Added to these countries might
be the smaller production of Belgium,
Austria, Czecho 'Slovakia, Switzer-
land and Sweden, and then the total
produced in Europe would not exceed
three hundred and fifty thousand.

By National Press Service Z
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The tax re-
duction bill will be ready for con-
gress when it convenes on December
Z, unless some unforeseen accident Oc-
ours. The vital provisions of the bill
have been decided upon. The present
plan carries a reduction of the inheri-
lance tax from a maximum of 40 to
20 per cent. There is a repeal of the
gift tax. The present corporation and
capital stock taxes are retained. There
is an increase of from ten to twenty
thousand dollars, making the latter
the maximum amount Of income
on which a Is per cent deduction for
learned income" is applicable. An
other provision of the bill provides
for the elimination Of duplication.
This is carried out in the proposal
that smaller corporations are to be
permitted to- file returns as partners.
There is also a provision in the bill
which is being studied by the sub
committee that would permit partner
ships to file as corporations.
So far the changes in revenue re-
duction to the amount of about two
hundred million dollars annually are
provided in the present makeup of
the measure. It is thought that at
least one hundred thousand dollars
more al be taken off in different ex-
else and special taxes. These are to
be considered by the committee dur
ing the present week.
It is proposed to give an exemption
OF $500 to single men, am increase
of $500, and an exemption Of $500
instead of $4,000. The normal tax
rate proposed is IL per cent instead
of the 2 per cent under the present
law on the first four thousand dollars
and 3 per cent instead of 4 on the
next four thousand dollars. On the
balance it will be 5 instead of g.. The
allowance for dependents will un.
dOubtedly be fixed at 400, the pres.
ent rate while the maximum sur.
tax is to be figured at 20 per cent.
In raising the amount considered a.
learned income from ten Thousand
to twenty thousand dollars - will b,
seen that the small business man vii
be materially relieved. The new rate
on income taxes, if adopted into Law
in their present form, will remOv
} about one million tax payers from tn.
, rolls.
Another move is a slash Of on
hundred and sixty million dollars iron
the nations auto and excise taxes. l
| this is done it will, however, run u
+ the. total reduction Of the bill to abou
three hundred and fifty million dol
lars, which is fifty million dollar
more than Secretary Mellon consid
cred as a safe figure.
